Ye Han floated into the bridge, sat down in his seat and fastened his helmet. The helmet automatically switched to the image outside the ship. A huge blue planet appeared at Ye Han's feet, the blue sea, the green and brown earth, and the floating atmosphere.
Under the clouds, everything is so peaceful.
But beneath the surface of comfort is a life-and-death struggle between humans and aliens.
Ye Han sighed softly and cut the image back to the bridge: "Lin Yi, is there any movement?"
"No." Lin Yi said, "It's still the same."
Ye Han raised his eyebrows slightly and murmured: "It's too quiet!"
Yes, it was just too quiet, so quiet that it made people feel panicked, just like the eerie calm before a storm.
Lin Yi heard Ye Han's words, but did not answer and didn't know how to answer.
Operation Thunder has lasted for a week. After the initial raid failed, the American army regrouped and successively captured other strategic targets in Washington.
Although Washington is of extraordinary significance to the Americans, at this point in the war, whether or not Washington is recaptured does not actually have much strategic significance. The reason why the United States continues to insist on Operation Thunder is because there is intelligence indicating that it has taken refuge in aliens.
The top officials of the United States are still in Washington. The new U.S. government, headed by Franklin, hopes to put pressure on the top officials of Washington through uninterrupted military operations and not give them the opportunity to escape from Washington.
Ye Han thought for a while and asked: "What's the current situation of the Mi Army?"
"It's nothing, it's just like that." Lin Yi said, "These young soldiers from the United States performed well."
"It's a bit unexpected." Ye Han agreed.
The American soldiers have still not been able to catch the tail of the top brass in Washington, and the continuous military operations have made the American soldiers very tired. Based on Ye Han's understanding of the American soldiers, the participating troops are close to the high-voltage line of collapse. If they were replaced by ordinary American soldiers,
I'm afraid some people can't bear the pressure and collapse.
After all, the American Young Master Soldiers are not the domestic force known for its rigorous training. The mental endurance of ordinary American soldiers is indeed not as good as that of their domestic counterparts.
That is to say, the Hell Paratroopers, an elite unit that only requires volunteers, can persist in this situation until now.
Lin Yi flipped through the communication records: "American reinforcements should be arriving soon, right?"
The situation in Washington is becoming increasingly unfavorable to the new U.S. government, but the Moon has no intention of stopping Operation Thunder. Instead, it has been in frequent contact with the U.S. military. The specific content of the discussions is unknown, but the relationship between the U.S. military and the international base is ambiguous.
, it is estimated that it is only a matter of time before the US military surrenders to the new government, or the two join forces to form a new government.
The Northern Capital is happy to hear this. Under the current circumstances, a unified United States will only bring benefits to the Northern Capital, but no harm.
It was based on this that Lin Yi concluded that reinforcements were about to arrive in Washington.
Ye Han twitched the corner of his mouth noncommittally: "Only the devil knows...forget it, Americans don't want to say, what kind of leisure do we have?"
Just as Lin Yi was about to speak, the American warship not far away suddenly started its engine. The light in the warship's engine flickered, and the heavy warship slowly accelerated and changed course to the southwest.
Ye Han also noticed the changes in Mi Jun and couldn't help but feel a little curious: "What's going on?"
Lin Yi looked at the communication records and raised his head blankly: "I don't know!"
At this time, the second American warship started its engine and formed a two-ship formation with the previous warship.
Ye Han's brows frowned deeply.
The United States has sent a total of four warships. What is the situation when two ships are suddenly transferred? And it seems that there is no intention to change orbit, which is very intriguing - orbital altitude is one of the important combat data of warships, and it can be judged by the altitude.
The combat intention of the battleship.
Take the Ningwuguan, for example. Its current orbital altitude is 400 kilometers, and it is always hovering over Washington. It has neither altitude nor speed. It is obviously performing a ground support mission.
In other words, the two American warships that left were still performing ground support missions, but there was no notification from above. Where did the warships need support?
Whatever he thought came to him, at this moment, Lin Yi received an urgent message from Beiyuezhou. He didn't even dare to ask and directly forwarded the message to Ye Han.
The signal was connected, and the lifelike Wu Han appeared in front of Ye Han. Ye Han immediately saluted: "Chief!"
Wu Han returned the salute and said solemnly: "In case of emergency, turn around immediately and follow the American warship!"
"Yes!" Ye Han agreed and passed the order to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi immediately sounded the alarm, started the main engine, and the Ningwuguan accelerated to follow the American warship.
After conveying the order, Ye Han immediately asked: "Chief, what happened?"
Wu Handao: "I just received a notification from the International Base that the Insects attacked Oak Ridge and captured a group of experts. The US army has launched a rescue operation and asked us to send troops to assist in rescuing the captured experts and scholars."
"Oak Ridge?" Ye Han blinked, "This place sounds familiar!"
Wu Han sighed helplessly: "Oak Ridge National Laboratory was first part of the Manhattan Project and researched nuclear weapons. Do you remember it?"
Ye Han suddenly realized: "Yes, yes, it turns out to be that place!"
He was indeed not familiar with Oak Ridge, but how could he not know about the famous Manhattan Project? It was a super plan that invented nuclear weapons, changed the course of World War II, and then affected the global structure.
How big is its impact?
Due to their huge nuclear arsenals, both the United States and the former Soviet Union had the power to destroy the earth, thus forming a Cold War pattern of East-West confrontation, which lasted until the disintegration of the former Soviet Union.
If there were no nuclear weapons, the confrontation between the two camps would likely develop into World War III.
Although war has not disappeared, peaceful development has been the main theme after World War II. For more than half a century, human science and technology have advanced by leaps and bounds.
Not to mention anything else, let’s talk about space battleships. The engine is nuclear technology; the energy source is nuclear technology; the nuclear warhead in the missile is still nuclear technology!
It is no exaggeration to say that without nuclear technology there would be no space fleet, and the source of all of this is the Manhattan Project!
Of course, nuclear technology is not a panacea, but without the support of nuclear technology, human beings would never be where they are today. Even if they entered space, they would not be able to establish a permanent base on the moon, let alone make the moon what it is today.
.
Fight against aliens? It’s better not to think so much, just let the aliens enslave you and maybe survive.
Everything flashed rapidly in Ye Han's mind, like a thunderbolt striking his heart - Oak Ridge started out by studying nuclear weapons, and aliens captured a group of experts and scholars...
