"... wait."
"You just said, how long ago did this happen?" Kamp widened his eyes.
"17 hours ago." the chief of staff said quickly.
"Then tell me, our country's Strategic Nuclear Submarine launched Tomahawk cruise missile, which should have been carried out under the order authorized by my signature. Why did I only know about it 17 hours later?" Kamp's eyes widened.
Didn't you make a mistake? Shouldn't I be the first to know about such a thing? Why did I find out after the 17th hour?
"Actually, Mr. President, this is the problem, and Mr. President, we only realized the seriousness of the matter when many countries asked through their diplomatic departments what our country meant, and we immediately verified Central Command. Only then did we find that Central Command did not know about it. We then verified it with many warships in the Red Sea, and then these warships reported back a problem."
"After the attack, these warships received a message from Central Theater Command, telling them it was a combat order and asking them to keep it secret and pretend not to know about it."
"But Central Theater Command did not issue any relevant instructions, including no internal records in the system."
The chief of staff said with a serious face.
"That means someone commanded our submarine? And it was Strategic Nuclear Submarine?" Kamp also knew the seriousness of the matter.
"Yes, but other countries outside the world don't know. They just think it was us." The chief of staff looked serious.
"Where is the Michigan?" Kamp asked immediately, "Is it possible that there is something wrong with the Michigan?"
"The Michigan is currently in a communications silent state, but its identification friend or foe device is not turned off. We can receive its location and our system can know where it is, but because it is communications silent, we have no way to contact it for the time being."
"We have analyzed the movement trajectory of the Michigan and its current status. This is a standard procedure to conceal oneself immediately after an attack and maintain communication silence. It is unlikely that there will be a problem with the Michigan. We have retrieved and analyzed all the information of the captain, Captain Edward."
"He is an excellent patriotic soldier and is unlikely to have any rebellion or other circumstances. Therefore, we currently speculate that it is most likely a recurrence of the Thomas Gable incident in 2008." The chief of staff handed the results of the analysis document to Kamp.
Kamp immediately started reading it quickly. After reading it, he said seriously, "What is the problem now?"
"Two questions. The first question is a comprehensive inspection of all national defense and military systems. A thorough inspection. The system architecture engineers and programmers of the national Security Bureau and FBI and related important system construction are already in place. They are preparing for a comprehensive inspection." The chief of staff said immediately.
"The second question is about how to respond to this matter." The chief of staff said quickly.
"What's the result of your discussion?" Kamp asked quickly.
"First, no response. Anyway, the matter has been done, and explanations are useless. However, this non-response is unrealistic. Although only senior officials of other countries know about it, even if it is given to them, an explanation is needed. The outside world does not know about this yet."
"Second, take the initiative and find a way to divert the destination of this matter. However, these two methods have only one purpose and cannot expose the matter itself. We must even conceal the internal affairs of Colonel Edward and Ohio-class strategic submarine."
"Central Theater Command Only a very few people know the truth now. The rest believe that the order was issued directly by the Pentagon. Those warships that received the notice from the theater command will not know the truth. As for the various countries that notified us, we have not responded yet. They are all ambiguous answers. They do not know our intentions for the time being." The chief of staff quickly stated how to handle the matter.
"In other words, we don't know what happened. We helped people eliminate the enemy, and now I still need to help him deal with trouble?!" Kamp was extremely angry.
"Mr. President, there is no other way." The chief of staff said seriously, "If this matter is leaked, then our Ohio-class strategic submarine carries a nuclear warhead, although we know that a nuclear bomb cannot be launched in this way."
"But the people don't know that we will face huge pressure from public opinion all over the world! Including our country, and you will have an election next year... This is the most critical thing."
Hearing about the general election, Kamp felt slightly relieved, "What do you think?"
"I have obtained relevant information from the CIA. In some of the massacres caused by the Red Scarf Army and Dane Military Consulting Company, ordinary people in the United States were also killed. Although there is no way to confirm the identity, it doesn't matter."
"We can declare to the outside world that we are bound to fight against terrorist organizations! No one can escape from this matter, these terrorist organizations must be eliminated!"
"In addition, you need to call the other side of the Pacific to help communicate with the other side. If possible, it is best for us to jointly conduct a bombing operation, similar to this operation." The chief of staff said quickly.
"Us or them?" Kamp was stunned for a moment.
"All countries have the responsibility to fight against terrorists!" the chief of staff said seriously. "According to our latest intelligence, a China citizen named Deng Mei was kidnapped by a terrorist organization called Zaka. Among the people kidnapped by the terrorist organization, there were also our citizens. This is an excuse."
"As well as a mercenary organization called Blood Wolf hired by the Eviya government. We can make suggestions to them and we can also contribute part of the money."
"Formulate a plan for me, hurry up, and invite the relevant senior officials to come over immediately. We need to discuss it closely. I need to contact the other side of the Pacific first." Kamp said immediately.
"Yes, Mr. President." The chief of staff nodded immediately.
The entire White House has quickly become busy because of this incident, but many people probably don't know about this busyness... This is completely taking the blame!
At this moment Jiang Yan Hai they had already set off. After borrowing two government army vehicles, they quickly arrived at the temporary station of the government army, inside a tunnel, where they would make simple repairs.
Their people are still divided into two groups, Jiaolong Commando Unit people are together, and Jiang Yan Hai people are in another group.
At this moment, Xu Hong and Yang Rui were standing together. Xu Hong was the blaster who had just defused a bomb on the battlefield and saved the driver of the second car bomb.
