Several days later, the world's first secret joint supreme command was formally established in an underground bunker deep in Bear Nation's Ural Mountains.
Converted from a nuclear war command post left over from the Cold War, the bunker lay hundreds of meters beneath layers of granite. Its walls were several meters thick, built from composite armor of reinforced concrete and lead plates.
