#1299 - The true appearance of the nuclear bomb

Following Aziz's command in Arabic, a forklift tied with iron chains pulled a large hole in the belly of a statue, revealing a large box with a yellow and black radiation symbol inside.

Several terrorists stepped forward and worked hard, and soon they managed to carry the box out of the statue using only their shoulders and hands, and moved it to a tool bench that had been prepared in advance.

As the lid of the box was opened and the lead seal was broken, a cone-shaped object with a diameter of about 30 cm at the thickest end, a length of about one meter, and the size of a trash can appeared in front of everyone.

This is a section of the fairing of an AGM-86 air-launched cruise missile, or it can be called a missile warhead. Although the exterior surface is painted gray-black, the yellow and black radiation warning sign printed on it is chilling.

However, what really made Jack and Harry feel creepy was that the outer fairing of the warhead had obviously been opened by someone, and several wires that did not belong to the warhead body extended from the bottom of the warhead, connecting to a console with a display and a small keyboard.

This is obviously not the configuration of a normal missile warhead, and there is only one possibility for this situation to occur: "Dark Jihad" actually successfully modified it and bypassed the "PAL" system and anti-tampering mechanism.

Aziz used the Geiger counter to confirm that the radiation was within the safe range. He touched this "big treasure" with satisfaction, and then waved to his men, "Bring them over here."

Jack and the other four were pushed in front of the warhead, and he asked triumphantly, "Do you two know what this is?"

This question was of course directed at Jack and Harry, and before Jack could open his mouth, Harry spoke first, "Of course I know him."

A smile appeared on Aziz's face. This was one of the reasons why he had gone to great lengths to capture Harry. He wanted this guy, who was obviously a federal agent, to personally prove that he had a powerful weapon, and more than one.

"Is this a water heater?" Harry's muscles tensed slightly, ready to go.

Jack, who received his eye signal, blinked repeatedly and found that his objection was ineffective. He could only turn slightly and shift his body weight toward where Juno was standing.

Juno, who was standing next to the workbench, had an AKM next to her. Only by kidnapping her and obtaining the weapon could he be sure to protect Helen and Jessie in the chaos.

However, Aziz did not lose his mind because of anger as Harry expected. Perhaps it was because he had seen how difficult this opponent was before in Washington DC. He was lucky enough to have escaped with his life, so he subconsciously did not want to get too close to this lunatic who dared to ride a horse and jump off a building to chase him.

He pulled out his dagger and grabbed Helen's hair, pressing it against her neck, "Do you know why I wasted my time getting you guys here?"

Helen screamed and shook her head desperately, while Harry's face became extremely ugly.

Aziz answered his own question, "Because I need your husband to prove to the world for us that the Dark Jihad already possesses powerful nuclear weapons."

Helen was so hopeless that she even burst into tears. She still hasn't figured out what happened. "God is my witness, he is just a useless salesman."

As soon as these words came out, Harry's expression suddenly became even uglier.

As Aziz exerted a little force with the dagger in his hand, Helen, feeling the pain, had to try hard to raise her head.

"You have one last chance. If you answer incorrectly, that's wrong."

Aziz looked sinisterly at Jessie next to him. The girl was desperately trying to break free from the terrorist who was controlling her. Perhaps because they felt that both women were not a threat, neither Helen nor Jessie were handcuffed.

"I almost forgot you have a daughter, so you still have two chances."

Harry shook his head slightly and sighed, finally giving in.

"This is a W-80 nuclear warhead with adjustable yield, mainly used for air-launched cruise missiles. The three in your hand should be the nuclear warheads of the ten AGM-86 air-launched cruise missiles lost during the Afghan retreat five years ago, with an equivalent of 15,000 tons of TNT.

The military later recovered five of them, and the CIA intercepted two more in Türkiye, but it was clear that they were just smokescreens you had deliberately thrown.”

Before Harry finished speaking, Jack sneered, "I have to say you did a great job, hiding the nuclear bomb in the looted ancient Persian artifacts and transporting it out of Greece.

Some countries obviously do not have the foresight of the Syrians and choose to send their national treasures that have been imprinted with thousands of years of history to another ancient civilization for long-term exhibition to avoid war. "

"I told you that you're an interesting FBI agent." Juno seemed completely unaware of the mockery in Jack's eyes as he looked at her, and she was laughing uncontrollably.

She raised her chin towards Aziz as if to take credit. "Now you still question my decision to bring all of them here? One of these two people is the FBI, and the other is a federal agent. They will be your best witnesses."

Unfortunately, Aziz ignored the crazy woman and waved to his men, "Hurry up and take out the remaining two nuclear bombs. We don't have much time."

"Don't you have anything to say to me?" Helen came back to her senses and seemed to understand everything suddenly. There were tears in the corners of her eyes, but she looked at her husband as if she was looking at a stranger.

"Yes, just like you thought, I am a secret federal agent." Harry turned his head away and did not look his wife in the eyes. As a result, he was punched hard the next second and fell to the ground in embarrassment.

"You bastard! You liar! Son of the Beach! You've lied to me for over twenty years, and you're even trying to continue lying to me!"

It was only then that Helen pieced everything together, including her daughter's strange behavior, and now everything made sense.

When she thought of all the fears she had suffered before, and even the humiliation of pretending to be a call girl last night, the feeling of being socially humiliated in front of her family turned into double anger, causing her to fall into complete hysteria.

"I'm sorry, dear." Poor Harry, all the injuries he had suffered so far came from his wife's critical hit. Of course, this is not worthy of sympathy, it is purely his own fault.

"Stop calling me that, you damn pig! You're such a jerk!"

Poor Helen could only curse like these two sentences over and over again, her vocabulary was extremely poor. Jack and Jessie next to her could only look at each other in silence.
