Crossing through time 04, I blew up the American aircraft carrier.

Chapter 262 The Great Earthquake of the Entire Middle East

The Pentagon, United States.

"What's going on?"

David's country is seven hours ahead of the United States, so when it was midnight for them, the Americans had just finished get off work and were then called back. Everyone was seething with anger.

Donald Rumsfeld was the same; he had just been flirting with a beautiful woman when he received a message that he had to come over—how could he not be angry?

Unless there are special circumstances, he will swear.

"Our reconnaissance satellites have detected unusual radioactive material floating above David." The intelligence officer's words caused everyone's expression to change drastically.

"What do you mean?"

"Judging from the light radiation, a nuclear explosion occurred there."

"How is that possible!" Rumsfeld shook his head instinctively. "Nasser's forces couldn't possibly have such a weapon! Even if they had missiles, they couldn't possibly have warheads like this!"

After getting off work, Rumsfeld received news that Nasser's forces had launched a volley of missiles. Rumsfeld didn't think it was a big deal at the time. It wasn't the first time Nasser had launched missiles. Even if the missiles had a longer range this time, so what?

David's country also has the Arrow anti-missile system, which can definitely intercept it easily!

Who could have imagined this outcome?

If a mushroom cloud were to appear over Nasser's head in a few hours, that would be understandable!

"Yes, Nasser's forces couldn't possibly have such warheads, so—" The subordinate stopped mid-sentence, leaving Rumsfeld to figure it out himself.

Since it wasn't Nasser's armed forces planting mushrooms, then it must be ——————

"You mean, David's own mushroom bomb exploded?"

The meeting room was silent; everyone could hear their own heartbeats.

For a long time, the whole world knew that David had mushroom bombs, but no one accused him because David's attitude was to remain silent, neither admitting nor denying it!

At the end of the last century, two countries in the South Asian subcontinent competed to detonate nuclear bombs, which led to global sanctions. Now, David's nuclear bomb has also detonated. What should the United States do?

Sanctions? Of course not, David is their father!

Transferring blame? Framing Nasser? Claiming that Nasser developed the mushroom bombs?

The world isn't stupid. If an organization hidden in a remote mountain village could manufacture mushroom bombs, then these things would have been all over the world by now!

Nasser may have a few yellowcakes at most, but there is absolutely no way he could detonate them into a mushroom bomb. The leap between yellowcake and mushroom bomb is quite significant.

Even Langtuo didn't have this strength, let alone Nasser's forces, which had an even weaker industrial base!

To completely cover it up and claim it was just a normal explosion?

Damn it! This is a huge problem!

and many more!

"What about their Arrow missiles? Didn't they intercept those ballistic missiles?"

"No, Nasser's ballistic missile changed course twice mid-flight, outmaneuvering all the intercepting Arrow missiles."

What?

The meeting room fell silent again.

A trajectory change maneuver! This is a nightmare for missile defense systems, meaning all previously calculated data is rendered useless, and the launched missiles will be completely ineffective!

This is a technology that only major spacefaring nations possess. How could Nasser possibly have such technology?

"Damn it, where did they get their technology from?!" Donald Rumsfeld gritted his teeth.

Even if the United States has NMD and the Navy has TMD, it doesn't necessarily mean they can intercept these ballistic missiles with the ability to change course!

so----

Will the US dare to break ties with Nasser again? If Nasser were to release these kinds of rockets at US military bases in the Middle East, how would the US military counter them?

Damn it!

Thump thump thump—someone rushed in, his face panicked: "Report! A second satellite just passed overhead and detected more radiation. It's very likely—the nuclear explosions there are ongoing."

What do you mean?

Did all the dozens of mushroom bombs at David Base detonate?

For the Tarnov base, tonight is absolutely hell!

The detonation of the first two mushroom bombs completely destroyed the No. 3 ammunition depot. Not only were the Volcano-3 missiles overhead blown away and detonated in the air, but the remaining mushroom bombs in the No. 3 ammunition depot also met a bad end!

Flames surged in with the shockwave, and the mushroom bombs in the ammunition depot, engulfed in flames, exploded in the same way in less than a second!

The fireball was brilliant and dazzling, and the heat wave engulfed the other mushroom bombs as well, and then—

Boom! Boom boom!

The power of a nuclear bomb is measured in terms of its equivalent TNT yield. The nuclear bomb that the United States dropped on the island nation had a yield of only tens of thousands of tons, while the yield of David's nuclear bomb is estimated by outsiders to be between 200,000 and 400,000 tons.

Such a mushroom bomb is enough to destroy a city with a diameter of about 15 kilometers, causing devastating damage to the city's reinforced concrete buildings. If the personnel are not protected, more than 60% will be killed on the spot, and the rest will spend their remaining lives suffering from radiation sickness.

Now, with so many mushroom bombs constantly detonating, the kill radius is rapidly expanding to hundreds of kilometers!

The surrounding Stot-Michsa base and Belyakov missile factory were all affected by the shockwave. The blast wave swept over, completely destroying the buildings that had just survived, and it seemed that there were hardly any people left inside.

Earthquakes struck not only the Kingdom of David, but the entire Middle East!

Even in distant Riyadh, the royal palace was shaking. Fahd regained consciousness amidst the violent shaking and instinctively ran outside.

When he ran outside, he saw Sultan, Aziz and others coming over.

"Your Majesty, please do not worry. This is an attack launched by Nasser's forces against the Kingdom of David."

These words made Fahd even more worried.

"How could the commotion in the Kingdom of David affect us here?"

"Yes."

"What kind of noise was that? A mushroom bomb—wait, Nasser has mushroom bombs?"

"Nasser didn't, but David did. Nasser's operation likely hit David's mushroom bomb depot, detonating the bombs. Next—we need to closely monitor the radioactive fallout and check the wind direction—"

The northern region of the Kingdom of David is influenced by the Mediterranean climate. From November to March, it is under the control of the westerly winds, which bring moist air from the Mediterranean and rainfall. At other times, it is under the control of the subtropical high pressure, and the weather is dry.

Because of its lower latitude, the southern region is under the control of the subtropical high pressure throughout the year and generally has no wind. However, due to the influence of the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea, there may be easterly or southeasterly winds in some areas.

It would be best to blow these radioactive dusts out to sea, but avoid southwest winds, otherwise they might blow them onto Shah's territory!

However—Fahd's attention was clearly not on that; he was simply staring in shock at Sultan who had spoken: "The David Nation's mushroom bombs have been detonated?"
