818 The Aftershock of the Tactical Nuclear Bomb

The office was silent.

President La Jonah and the Minister of Power didn't move.

The silence lasted for half a minute. The president shuddered and collapsed back on his seat, fingers rubbing his forehead.

"I'm sorry, I may not have heard clearly, could you..."

The Minister of Defense quickly repeated his speech.

"It was a tactical nuclear bomb. It exploded at the headquarters of Arrow Military and the entire coast was turned into ruins... The nearby forest is on fire and our firefighters has already entered the forest to extinguish the fire. Fortunately, their headquarters are far from the city and there are no civilian casualties. At present, we have not made an announcement to the media..."

La Jonah finally accepted this fact after a long silence; he sighed and said with a headache.

"Evacuate citizens in nearby villages and towns near the forest. Don't release the news of the tactical nuclear explosion to the press yet, at least not tonight."

"But those firefighters..." squeezed out the Minister of National Defense.

"The country will remember their contributions."

"Yes..." The Minister of Defense nodded and left the office with a low-spirited expression.

"Continue to investigate the reasons for the blackout on Mayotte and the identity of the group that engaged in crossfire with Arrow..." La Jonah took a deep breath and then said to the Minister of Power. "You can go now."

"Yes."

The Minister of Power replied and slipped out of the room hastily.

...

Paper can't cover fire.

Jiang Chen disembarked on Coro Island and collapsed on his bed once he returned to the mansion. When he woke up, the world was in a heated discussion over nuclear weapons.

Although it was a tactical nuclear bomb with only limited destructive power, it was more than enough to smother a military base.

News of a tactical nuclear bomb hit north of Madagascar had already been all over the international news panel. The name of Arrow, the private military contractor, appeared for the first time in the eyes of the public.

They were employed by the UA and have repeatedly traveled to other countries to perform tasks inconvenient for the UA to perform. Such as rescuing key members, counter-terrorism operations, planning of a coup, and a series of tasks that could not be exposed under the light.

Now, all this was exposed in the eyes of the public.

Moreover, Madagascar's domestic and foreign media had unanimously condemned this military company registered in the UA for why Arrow's military base in Madagascar would have a tactical nuclear bomb. In this period, because of this nuclear bomb, the international community was stirred into chaos.

"Why was a nuclear bomb shipped into our country! How many nuclear bombs are here in our country and were brought in by those Americans without our knowledge!" Madagascar Cable TV.

"All Arrow's actions are independent actions without the knowledge from the Capitol. When the media asked why Arrow would hold a nuclear weapon, the Capitol spokesman used shock and unbelievable in his speech. The nuclear weapons incident in Madagascar again exposed the foolishness of the Republic's policy to push for military outsourcing..." The Washington Post.

"The South African government is vehemently protesting the UA's deployment of nuclear weapons of all forms to Africa and expressed concern to terrorism with private ownership's possession of nuclear weapons. The AU is currently holding an emergency meeting at the African Union Conference Center in Ethiopia and is in a dialogue on the Madagascar nuclear issue with the Capitol..." South Africa Morning Post.

"Arrow stated that the nuclear weapon was not held by the company but is related to Celestial Trade. However, when asked for evidence, Arrow's spokesperson avoided the issue. For Arrow's unsubstantiated allegations, Celestial Trade used the word 'absurd' to respond, and the challenged the logic behind Arrow's accusation." Xiangjiang Daily.

It was mayhem.

The first was the firefight that took place in Mayotte.

Beside the body of Arrow officer Mangala, the international wanted criminal Zaid's body was discovered. It had now been confirmed that Mangala was killed by Zaid and the reason was currenly unknown.

According to the analysis of the scene, as well as the bodies of some of the attackers on the scene, it was confirmed that the attackers were Somali pirates. The attack was eventually characterized as a clash between Somali pirates and Arrow. Just five hours after the attack, the Somali government announced that with the cooperation of Israel's intelligence services, the Somali government forces eliminated the pirate stronghold led by Zaid.

In connection with the Jewish background behind Arrow, it was difficult for people not to link these two events together.

With regard to the large-scale destruction of electronic equipment in Mayotte, experts at present had only made a lot of speculations, but they had not been able to make a specific conclusion. There was speculation about sunspot activity and geomagnetism. Some people had speculated that Arrow Company was testing new weapons on Mayotte...

No one linked it to Celestial Trade, far away in the Pacific Ocean.

Although Celestial used EMP in the Battle of MLL Island, and had conducted regional EMP strikes against the Country F Army, neither the range nor strength could be linked to the phenomenon on Mayotte. What's more, EMP weapons belonged in the experimental stage. At present, only high-altitude nuclear explosions could produce wide-area electromagnetic pulse effects.

However, the gamma value on Mayotte remained normal and the nuclear explosion only occurred at Arrow's military base in Madagascar.

As for the nuclear explosion, Arrow still offered no explanation.

The tactical nuclear bomb was the masterpiece of Jiang Chen, and he personally installed it inside the desalination platform.

However, there is no evidence at all, except for Arrow and Jiang Chen who knew this point.

Not to mention that because it was in the center of the explosion, even the iron and steel on the desalination platform melted into molten steel and was impossible to retrieve from the water. Taking ten thousand steps back, even if they did prove that the nuclear bomb was hidden in the desalination platform, why did their desalination platform turn up there?

It could not be explained.

All the evidence was buried in the tomb with the death of Zaid.

Even if Arrow intended to no longer disguise its intention and announce to all media and reporters that the transport vessel of Celestial Trade was hijacked by them and that they did not expect they had hidden a nuclear bomb in the desalination platform. No one would believe their nonsense.

Zaid died on Mayotte and died beside military officer Mangala. All pieces of evidence stopped there. Zaid led the pirates to attack Arrow's military base in Mayotte, and it had no relationship with Celestial Trade.

And just ten hours after the incident, Celestial Trade announced to the media that the transport vessel that was hijacked was rescued by its navy in the Indian Ocean. All the reporters saw that when the ship was brought back to the Coro Island Port, it had hauled a desalination platform behind it...

The broken teeth can only be swallowed down. This was the current situation facing Arrow Military.

Jiang Chen knew, however, that the Freemasonry hiding behind the scenes would certainly not swallow their teeth. They would certainly do something.

At least divert the attention of the international community...

Tossing the newspaper aside, Jiang Chen took a sip of the coffee Ayesha made and then called the President of Moro, Santos.

He didn't speak yet, and Santos asked nervously first.

"Was that you in Africa?"

Their allies held nuclear weapons. It was incredible news. However, Jiang Chen obviously didn't plan to discuss this question.

"It is not in your consideration." Jiang Chen did not answer his question directly. "You must strengthen the defense at the northern border. Although I have been stressing this matter, I now have to emphasize it once more. The war has already started."

"Started?" Santos was stunned.

"Yes." Jiang Chen paused, "The MLL Island will be the frontline between Freemasonry and Future Group. You'd better be mentally prepared."

"This statement is certainly enraging," Santos bitterly said.

"But it's not something we can control," said Jiang Chen, taking a sip of his coffee. Then he continued, "If you want to continue to be the dictator, then you have to fight with them. If you don't want to, please remember to speak with me in advance."

Santos took a deep breath.

"I know what to do..."

"Excellent, then Celestial will always have your back."Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.
