Darkness is Coming

William Harrison, the name is well known, the current president of the Commonwealth of America is also the first president of the United States to call for peace after years of war. Or the melon eaters who only know the skin, they are very sure that he will win the next election and continue to be re-elected.

   If William Harrison was replaced with a mutant with his full memory, what would happen next? This is a creepy question.

Looking at the best aspect, it is that the mutant has the opportunity to take root in the US Federation, and with the help of the US Federation's cultural soft power and hard power such as economy, technology, and military, it will rapidly develop and grow, from a cancer cell to a malignant tumor, even if it is finally. If you can cut it off, you have to pay thousands of times the painful price.

At worst, the United States is the superpower with the most nuclear weapons in the world today. It has tens of thousands of nuclear weapons, of which 7,000 to 8,000 nuclear warheads are deployed in actual combat. mode, capable of carrying out a global nuclear strike. If the top leader of such a nuclear power is being played by mutants, doesn't that mean that the button to start a nuclear war is in the hands of mutants, and six billion people in the world have become hostages of mutants?

   Of course, this is just an impossible assumption. If the mutant can kidnap William Harrison, then the United States should have been kicked down from the status of the world's largest power, and even the five permanent seats of the United Nations cannot be kept.

Moreover, it is said that the nuclear button carried by the US federal president does not actually exist. Although the successive US federal presidents still arranged for military assistants to carry the "rugby" (nuclear black box) with them after the Cold War, but in the film and television drama, open the black leather bag and press the button to launch it. The plot of nuclear weapons is purely fictional.

There is no button in the briefcase carried by the military assistant, only the President's private key, confidential satellite communication equipment and the various nuclear strike war plans formulated by the US Federal Strategic Command, including which countries and which targets to use, and which nuclear weapons to use. How many warheads and so on.

After the President and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff make a decision, they need to use their private passwords to verify their identity, and then take out the passwords in their nuclear suitcases with the Secretary of Defense, and send them to the General Staff Operations Department at the same time. The special communication center will mix them into one. The new code is sent to the national military command center underground in the Pentagon through a special frequency, or a mobile strategic command center such as the E-4 commander, and then to the five major nuclear combat forces: Task Force 133 (Pacific Fleet Strategic Submarine), 144 Task Force (Atlantic Fleet Strategic Submarines), Task Force 204 (Air Force 8, Strategic Bombers), Task Force 294 (Air Force 18, Air Refueling for Strategic Bombers), Task Force 214 (Air Force 20, Strategic Intercontinental) missile).

   Wait until the combat order is finally issued to the nuclear combat platform, and commanders at all levels jointly verify the order to use nuclear weapons, and the launch device can only be activated after it is confirmed.

  This whole system also has a strictly confidential self-checking feedback system. With the intelligence quotient of the mutant - even if it is a monster like Bai - there is still a long way to go to infiltrate and master the right to use nuclear weapons.

   But Director Zhong obviously had something to say. She wanted to explain a possibility to everyone present through this assumption: Although it seems that there is still a long distance from the destruction of the world, the mutant has found a way to shorten this distance.

  Imagine, with the various abilities of mutants, the demagogic means of the temple, and the evildoer Bai, even if the United States cannot be dealt with, can it be possible to deal with some multinational groups and some small countries? It's impossible for everyone to enjoy presidential-level security, right? As long as you find the right breakthrough and replace some of the people in key positions with fakes that can be faked, it is not impossible for the mutant to master the capital of negotiation.

   After all, it is not only nuclear weapons that can cause large-scale damage to human beings, but also chemical weapons, biological weapons, chemical products, financial crises and ideologies.

   "Yes, that's exactly what I'm talking about."

   Yang Xiaoqian, who has always been reticent during the meeting, spoke again, uncharacteristically.

   "The mutants want to get the capital of the negotiation, we must not let them succeed, let alone let the mutants survive like terrorism." Yang Xiaoqian looked at Yan Wangye, and Yan Wangye naturally took over the topic.

"In Western countries plagued by terrorist attacks, terrorists' means always spread fear, distort ideology, use violent attacks to bring panic, and force governments to make unnecessary responses to create a sense of security. In fact, we know that terrorists The actual damage that can be caused is very limited, but once you have the capital of negotiation, they are like rats in a china shop, making people avoid them. What's worse, rats in a china shop may not have the ability to overturn a lot of china, but they The appearance of the china shop made the customers in the china shop panic, and inadvertently knocked over those delicate china that the mice were unable to knock over." Yan Wangye said, "Now the mutants want to be the mice in the china shop, we can't be afraid of loss. must be cleared as soon as possible.”

"We live in a real world full of entangled interests, not fairy tales. To say that terrorists can continue to survive after a series of horrific terrorist attacks, there is no dirty work in it, then I think everyone I don’t believe it.” Having said this, Yan Wangye couldn’t help raising his voice, “Since terrorists can exploit loopholes, so can mutants. The intelligence department has issued warnings more than once, indicating the frequent connection between the two. This is an extremely dangerous sign. And I want to stress that, at the end of the day, terrorism and mutants are not the same thing.”

"We have the ability to suppress the terrorism that the whole people resist, but we cannot suppress the mutants that reproduce faster, and terrorism uses destruction as a means and for profit, and the ultimate goal of mutants is to destroy human beings, um, accurate It is said to destroy human civilization. Therefore, we cannot treat mutants with the attitude of treating terrorism. There is no room for negotiation on mutants. Only by acting early can we stop losses in time.”

After    finished speaking, Yan Wangye looked around for a week, but saw no disapproving eyes. He was about to finish his speech, but saw a hand raised.

"I agree with Team Leader Yan, but I have a question." Qi Xinwu asked, "Since we haven't shown the intention to start a war, why are mutants rushing to show their abilities to demonstrate to us? Everyone doesn't think this is the case. Is there anything strange about it?"
