A mushroom cloud rose over the city of Tacloban, and the halo of radiation illuminated the faces of both sides.
At this moment, whether it was the Country F soldiers behind the sandbags or the Moro soldiers advancing with the tanks, they all stopped pulling the trigger and turned their eyes to the illuminated sky in the city center.
Nuclear weapons made all resistance and offense a meaningless game.
When the shock wave swept across the street, both enemies and allies were vaporized into ashes by the scorching heat …
"… This is the command center, please respond after you hear this …"
"… Buzz … Please respond after you hear this …"
Zhang Feng opened his blurry eyes and clenched his teeth, but he still couldn't help but cough up blood.
At this moment, his situation was very bad. The glass around him was shattered, and there were broken pots and mud everywhere. His entire body was trapped in a wooden cabinet. It seemed that when the nuclear strike came, he was thrown into a flower shop by the shock wave.
Outside the broken window, the armored vehicle overturned on the side of the road. The turret had been completely cut off, and the overflowing fuel was quietly leaping with flames.
It's terrible …
Zhang Feng removed the stone that pressed on his chest and stood up from the ground with difficulty.
When the shock wave swept the street, his chest felt like it was hit by a truck. Fortunately, he had the protection of the kinetic skeleton, and fortunately, he was still a few kilometers away from the center of the explosion. Otherwise, it wouldn't be as simple as internal injuries.
"Ahem!"
With the support of the rifle, Zhang Feng walked to the side, picked up his tactical helmet, and put it on.
"This is the 121st team … We … may have been hit by a nuclear strike."
"… This is the command center. Please immediately organize personnel and withdraw to the landing point."
"Understood."
Nuclear bomb, why is there a nuclear bomb?
With victory in hand, it was obviously impossible for Celestial Trade to use this kind of weapon of mass destruction. Air superiority was in the hands of Celestial Trade. In this case, the nuclear bomb should have been pre-set in Tacloban by Country F …
But why does Country F have a nuclear bomb?
And they actually used it in their own city?!
Are they crazy?
Zhang Feng didn't understand.
The only thing he could be sure of was that more than half of his team was killed or wounded in an instant. He, who was on the edge of the city, suffered such a terrifying impact. The Moro Fifth Mechanized Division that had already rushed into the city was most likely dead.
Country F's Army was retreating to Samar Island, and Tacloban was their only route.
If he did not want to be captured, he had to retreat to the landing point immediately.
…
Within a month, two mushroom clouds, one big and one small, rose from Earth.
The nuclear explosion in Tacloban had set off a global panic no less than that of Resident Evil some time ago.
For a long time, people had only experienced the power of nuclear weapons in movies.
However, at this moment, everything was happening in reality. Although it was only a few words in the newspaper and a scarlet dot taken by a satellite, the shock it brought to people was far greater than any film and television works since the Cold War.
"Last night, there was a nuclear … nuclear explosion in Tacloban? Please wait, I need to confirm if there's anything wrong with the press release … "
"According to the data released by Country F, the first confirmed death toll has exceeded 20,000 people, including 13,000 civilians who have yet to evacuate, but this number was surpassed by 50,000 two hours later. The specific information can be seen on the official website of the Country F government … If Celestial Trade stops the cyber attack on Country F. "
"The spokesman of the Country F President's Office said that the nuclear explosion was caused by Moro, and the source of the nuclear bomb was Celestial Trade. However, Moro gave the opposite answer, accusing Country F of detonating the nuclear bomb in Tacloban. "
"… Nuclear weapons are proliferating. How many countries are illegally holding nuclear weapons outside the framework of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Convention?! We must end this unstable situation. This is related to the lives of everyone on Earth … "
Five hours after the nuclear explosion, the news spread to the world in an instant.
NASA first released a satellite image. In the image, a bright spot suddenly flashed at the location of Leyte Island, which could be clearly seen in outer space. This image taken by the satellite was also used by major media as the only picture of the power of nuclear weapons.
At present, the control of Tacloban was still being contested, and there was strong nuclear radiation remaining. No reporters could enter the area.
"This is crazy! They actually took out nuclear weapons! "Ivan slammed his fist on the table and said angrily.
"… We were tricked." Jiang Chen frowned.
More than half of the 11,000 Moro Army was lost. A brigade of more than 2,000 soldiers from Celestial Trade had a total of 431 killed and 1,107 injured to varying degrees.
At present, all combat units had retreated to the landing point.
Seizing the opportunity, Country F's garrison on Leyte Island, with the support of artillery, launched a frenzied counterattack against Moro and Celestial Trade's positions. Because the artillery was deployed in the foothills in the middle of Leyte Island and was covered by a large number of anti-aircraft guns, it made air strikes very difficult.
The two frigates deployed in the coastal area launched counterattacks against the local artillery positions, but due to terrain factors, the effect was minimal.
At this moment, the command center was in a heated discussion about this matter. All officers, including Jiang Chen and Ivan, didn't sleep a wink all night.
"Why do they have nuclear weapons!? When did Country F also become a hidden nuclear country?! "
"Is it the Freemasonry? Israel is a secret nuclear country. If the Jewish consortium has enough influence in Israel, there is no reason they can't get nuclear weapons. "
"But what do they want to do?"
"Framing, framing, and even dragging the United Nations into this civil war!" Barkary, the logistics officer who had been silent, suddenly said.
The command table quieted down. Everyone, including Ivan and Jiang Chen, focused their attention on him.
"Makes sense."
Jiang Chen nodded. Barkary's words made him realize something.
Just then, an officer entered the command center and walked straight to the command table.
"Country F requests a ceasefire. Both sides return to their respective areas of actual control and wait for the results of the United Nations' investigation."
"Investigation? What investigation? "Jiang Chen frowned.
"It's about who was the first to use nuclear weapons," the officer who passed the order said with an ugly expression.
Both sides accused the other side of using nuclear weapons, and both sides had their own reasons for not using nuclear weapons. Moro clearly had the advantage and couldn't drop nuclear bombs on its own people. While Country F was at a disadvantage, it was impossible to use nuclear bombs on its own city and its own people.
In addition, both sides were non-nuclear countries.
In order to investigate the source of nuclear weapons, the United Nations had convened an emergency meeting and announced that it would intervene in this "civil war."
However, at this moment, Jiang Chen suddenly realized a serious problem.
"Ceasefire … what about the areas occupied by Country F guerrillas?"
