Chapter 938： It's a declaration of war on us

Kennedy Space Center.

The sudden interruption of the screen made everyone unacceptable. At the same time, the news from the measurement and control network also made people unable to believe this fact.

The radar echo representing one's own space shuttle has disappeared! Our own space shuttle was just destroyed in space just now!

At the moment of disappearance, the voice in the radio was extremely flustered and messy, but almost everyone heard it, someone was shouting laser!

Laser weapons in space! This laser weapon destroyed their space shuttle!

Moreover, in the last picture before disappearing, you can also see a beam of shining laser!

Just above their heads, a laser beam flew from nowhere and destroyed them! The last picture captured by the camera is the beam of light reflected on the glass cover of astronaut Nelson's helmet.

Definitely the Soviets, definitely laser weapons!

The radio carried by the astronauts has limited power and must be forwarded by the space shuttle before it can be received by the Kennedy Space Center. It is precisely because of this that with the destruction of the space shuttle, the two astronauts who fell into space have already There is no audio.

A huge shock, everyone was stunned.

Yes, it is fear, although they are not astronauts in space, but they can feel this fear.

Any equipment in outer space is dangerous. The Soviets can use laser weapons at any time to launch terrifying attacks on themselves!

Moreover, it can destroy a space shuttle at any time, how abnormal the power of this laser should be? At least two megawatts! And such a laser can even penetrate the atmosphere and directly attack the ground!

The Soviets' space weapons have finally matured. This time they destroyed their own space shuttles, which was a demonstration to their own side. The entire outer space of the earth belongs to the Soviets!

In shock, the warning from the Kennedy Space Center quickly reached the White House.

The top executives of the White House have not had a good rest in the past few days, and there are great differences on how to carry out the next battle.

With the arrival of the reinforcements, should we go all out to completely quell the rebellion in West Germany, or should we maintain the status quo for the time being? After all, if one's own side is aggressively attacking, and the Soviets' armored torrent is not good, it's time to come over.

The Third World War is imminent.

Bush Sr. is obviously a faction that strongly advocates fighting.

"We can't hesitate any longer. If we hesitate any more, we will lose not only Germany, but the whole of Western Europe, but also the future of our United States. We must fight this war. Although our force is not as strong as before, but , we will never give up the use of force! Only war is the most suitable choice for us in the United States!" Bush Sr. has been instilling this view in the past few days.

However, it is not easy to convince these high-level leaders on our own side, let alone the need to convince Congress, which is even more difficult.

"In the past, we still felt that we had a technical advantage, but now, we don't even have a technical advantage. Our tanks simply cannot defeat the opponent in a frontal battlefield. Can we retake the lost land of West Germany? If We act now, even if the Soviets don't act, the combined East and West German armies are enough to make us face defeat again."

"We have air superiority. We have fighters, bombers, and attack aircraft. We rely on fighter jets to deal with the Soviet armored flood! Moreover, in outer space, we also have an advantage. We can use our own space shuttle to destroy the Soviets' navigation satellites. , communication satellites, and now, the Soviet army, relying too much on navigation satellites, as long as we have the advantage in space, we have hope of victory!" Bush continued.

We are not useless, we also have great advantages!

"Report, from the Kennedy Space Center, our Challenger spacecraft exploded in outer space." At this moment, an amazing news came.

"What happened?" Reagan asked. Space exploration is a very dangerous activity in the first place. Any small malfunction of the space shuttle may cause the astronauts to lose their lives, but now, it is too scary to explode in outer space, right?

"The Kennedy Space Center analyzed that it was the Soviets' space weapon. They bombarded our space shuttle with laser cannons, causing the space shuttle to explode in space."

Laser cannon, is there anything more appropriate than this? Hearing this, Reagan's face turned pale in an instant.

Overhead, there are laser cannons!

"This is a declaration of war, this is a declaration of war by the Soviets against us, our space shuttle was launched for the peaceful use of space! However, the Soviets actually used laser cannons to destroy our space shuttle! At this time, Bush's face was filled with excitement: "Outer space, there should be no war, it should be demilitarized! The Soviets did this by taking the initiative to initiate war! Let us tell the world that the third world war is about to begin!" "

At this moment, when everyone is extremely angry, Bush has already vowed to demand a world war!

No matter what direction you consider it, the Soviets' behavior this time is an active challenge! The Challenger, an American space shuttle, is the property of the United States, and the Soviets actually destroyed it like this! This kind of behavior can be compared with the islanders' attack on Pearl Harbor during World War II, undeclaring war!

This is the best excuse! The United States needs a war, a complete world war, to change the current situation. Whether it can reverse the current situation or ultimately the United States will lose, in short, the United States can only be willing to fight this war!

At this point, Bush is excited.

"Mr. President, the hotline is from Moscow." At this moment, the White House chief of staff said.

US-Soviet Hotline! Back then, it was just a long-distance half-duplex telephone typewriter. Now, after continuous upgrading, it has finally developed into a hotline that can be directly called, with a high degree of confidentiality.

After the U.S.-Soviet hotline was launched, the leaders of the United States and the Soviet Union had the opportunity to have a direct dialogue. Many times, the war was about to break out. After the exchanges between the leaders of the United States and the Soviet Union, a consensus was finally reached, which made the war disappear.

And now, just as a world war is about to break out, the leaders of the Soviet Union are calling, do they want the United States to agree with the status quo? Of course the United States will not agree!

"Hello, I'm Reagan." Reagan picked up the phone, and his tone was not at all friendly, not a politician at all.
