Chapter 1129: Backup Plan for Adding Ingredients

Jack's words made all the big guys look at each other in confusion, even Rossi was quite surprised.

Unexpectedly, in a meeting of this level, he would dare to stand up and defend himself at the critical moment, and speak eloquently in front of a group of bigwigs. Rossi felt quite gratified, thinking that his last disciple was not accepted in vain.

Perhaps because he was worried that his disciple might say something wrong, he hurriedly continued with what he had just said.

"What Jack meant was that rather than saying that the death of General Hammer's wife was the fuse, it would be more accurate to describe it as a countdown. The ignition button had actually been pressed a long time ago.

The death of Mrs. Hammer means that Hammer has lost his last concern in this world, and the countdown has returned to zero.

Therefore, Jack and I agreed that no matter how we responded, we only had one chance. If we failed, General Hammer would most likely throw away his chips to prove his determination.

And I believe that as a soldier, his way of proving his determination is definitely not as simple as shooting a few hostages."

General Hammer only had two chips in his hand, 83 hostages and 15 VX gas missiles. Since Rossi denied the possibility of shooting the hostages, it seemed that the only possibility left was to fire two missiles to show his determination.

Admiral Al Kleiman had his eyelids drooped and sounded as if he were talking to himself.

"If I remember correctly, Frank (Hammer) had requested several hearings of the Special Military Committee to discuss new standards for determining deaths in action and to give due honor to those who died in covert operations.

The last hearing was less than a year ago, when Senator Weaver rejected his appeal, citing budget constraints and provisions of the secrecy law.

We had a chance to avoid this.”

This person was probably the only one present who could say such a thing. Jack noticed the expression of as if he had eaten shit on the face of Director Sinclair, the presidential assistant.

Fortunately, Admiral Al Kleiman had just expressed his dissatisfaction a little bit, and he didn't really intend to send the FBI people out to die, so he quickly moved on to the next topic.

"OK, then who can tell me how lethal a VX gas missile is? And how far is its range?"

The one who answered the admiral's question was a two-star major general sitting near the corner of the table. "Based on the population density of downtown San Francisco, we estimate the number of casualties to be around 21 to , but the range of the E missile is enough to cover the entire San Francisco Bay Area."

"Sixty to seventy? Doesn't sound that bad?" A certain politician is embarrassing himself again.

"The unit is thousands. One E21 missile equipped with a VX warhead can cause casualties of 70 thousand people!" The major general emphasized loudly, "and General Hammer has 15 such weapons of mass destruction.

By the way, may I remind you, Director Sinclair, that the population of San Francisco city is over 80, and the population of the entire San Francisco Bay is over 780 million, second only to New York City in population density.

Director Sinclair swallowed hard and stopped interrupting. This time he really didn't intend to embarrass himself any more.

"Does the military have any countermeasures against this kind of nerve agent? I remember Jack mentioned in his action report in Korea that the military provided an emergency medicine called phosphate-dissolving needle."

Jim Womack seemed to have really read Jack's report carefully, which made someone flattered and he had to whisper some scientific knowledge to his boss.

"Sir, you can think of VX as a persistent poison. Antiphosphate injections, as well as emergency drugs such as atropine and belladonna, are only effective for short-term and low-dose poisoning symptoms.

Therefore, the best way to deal with the weapon is to prevent it from being launched. Otherwise, even if it is destroyed on the launch pad, it will cause deadly pollution to the waters around Alcatraz, including the Golden Gate Bridge and Fisherman's Wharf, which are less than two miles from the island.

Large-scale incendiary bombings may be useful, but this requires evaluation by military experts."

The director nodded slightly, and he couldn't be more satisfied with his agent's performance today.

The major general also nodded slightly at Jack, and then added helpfully, "Napalm bombs can only create a high temperature of about 1000 degrees, which is extremely ineffective against VX agents.

We need to find the location of those missiles, drop thermite incendiary bombs in a targeted manner, and then evaluate how many waves of napalm bombs need to be dropped based on the damage effect until all the poison is consumed. "

Jack's expression froze slightly when he heard this. You know, normally, if you are not a fan, you will only watch a movie once, and if it is particularly good, you may rewatch it after a while.

But that usually happened many years later. For example, he had watched "Independence Day" and "True Lies" at least three times in his previous life, with at least three to four or five years in between.

"The Rock" is one of "Bombshell's" earlier works, released in the 90s. Although he had revisited it once before traveling through time, he could no longer remember many details.

Despite this, he vaguely remembered that the military's backup plan included the use of thermite incendiary bombs, and in the end an F/A-18 fighter jet was unable to retract its bomb and did throw one.

But if we follow what this major general said, it is not a question of deploying a few F/A-18s at the moment.

Sure enough, Admiral Al Kleiman knocked on the table and asked, "Can we prepare thermite incendiary bombs for F/A-36 fighters and equip B-18H with enough napalm bombs within 52 hours?"

"No problem, but I strongly recommend using this as a backup plan," the major general replied.

"So what we need now is a preferred option, right?" The admiral said, looking at Jack, "Agent Tavoler, forget it, I'll just call you Jack.

Since you have successfully prevented a similar terrorist attack in Seoul, I wonder if you have the confidence to cooperate with the military's special forces to carry out the same mission again."

There is absolutely no comparison between these two tasks, okay? Jack rolled his eyes secretly, but considering that this big guy almost suggested sending Rossi to Devil's Island as a negotiation expert, he felt that it would be more reliable for him to do it himself.

At least in the original drama, a biological weapons expert who sat in an office all year round was able to complete the task together with an old man who was almost 70 years old, so it should be smoother if he takes action. Probably.

Thinking of a certain biological weapons expert, Jack turned to look at his boss, "Sir, I think I need a partner."
