There is no way to stop MUTO from entering the sea. At least from the current perspective, even if the Third Fleet and the Seventh Fleet arrive in Antarctica, they will certainly not be able to stop such a large number of MUTO.

What’s more, before that, at least hundreds of millions of MUTOs had successfully entered the sea.

This is not a cat or dog-like creature. The small MUTO has a body length of seven or eight meters, which is about the same as an ordinary Amazon python. Its attack power is much more powerful. Ordinary people face this kind of creature with only the word “death”.

Once MUTO lands on a large scale, will the military really have the ability to stop and destroy such a large number of monsters?

Thinking of the MUTO-A, which is more than 150 meters long and wanders around the city, crushing it and causing countless casualties. It can also spit out attack materials like electromagnetic cannons. It is absolutely impossible for ordinary troops to resist it.

Dempsey immediately understood the key point. If he did not want to cause large-scale civilian casualties, he could only destroy the enemy at sea.

But whether this was possible, Dempsey was unsure.

“Your Excellency General, in order to avoid civilian casualties, I suggest that certain facts be announced and residents of coastal cities be evacuated first.”

The major made a thoughtful suggestion.

Dempsey’s eyebrows suddenly twitched, he glanced at the major, and looked down at him without saying anything.

Yes, if the truth is announced and forced evacuation by the government, a lot of harm will indeed be alleviated in the foreseeable future. But the disadvantages of this are also obvious, first of all. After the news is released, it will definitely trigger large-scale social unrest around the world. If the government fails to respond appropriately, the White House may collectively step down.

Second, coastal cities have concentrated most of the United States’ economic, industrial and population. Evacuation is easy to say, but it is not so easy to actually do it with so many people. Where should we evacuate so much supplies?

There is land, but which cities can accommodate such a large population? There is no time to evacuate properly.

What’s more, with such turmoil, the United States will definitely enter a state of military management due to economic problems. This is not a result that many people want to see.

These problems lead to countless other problems, and each problem is not handled well. It can make many big shots fall to pieces. Who dares to take such a risk and make such a suggestion at this time? Who dares to take responsibility?

No, it’s not a question of who dares to take responsibility, but who has the qualifications to take responsibility?

Only Mr. President can do that.

But is the President willing to take the risk of responsibility that will ruin his reputation and make him irrecoverable?

Thinking about it from his perspective, Dempsey does not think that the President would be willing to take such a risk, and he would not be able to obtain the consent of Congress.

Unless all the members of Congress have gone crazy, they will evacuate at this time.

In Chinese idioms. People will not shed tears until they see the coffin. Only when they are truly facing the threat of death will people truly agree with this suggestion.

After sighing slightly, Dempsey cheered up his tired spirit and prepared to discuss these issues with the president and others.

…

…

People go to work and rest as usual, and the entire Western world is immersed in the arrival of Christmas. In eastern Asia, influenced by Christmas, many young people are also willing to celebrate this date. Spend this holiday happily with your girlfriends.

However, in the waters south of Australia and New Zealand, the huge Third Fleet is filled with a dull and tense atmosphere.

It is different from the previous state of emergency preparation. At this moment, the entire fleet has actually entered a state of war. As early as a few hours ago, with the cooperation of the main force of the Australian Air Force, the F-22 fighter jets that took off and landed from Guam had already cooperated with the Royal Australian Air Force in advance and began to attack the MUTO at the forefront.

After several tests, it was found that the MUTO-A type has a detection and strike capability of 40 kilometers, and the fighter group cannot carry out close-range attacks at all, otherwise there is a possibility of being shot down.

Fortunately, MUTO is too eye-catching and the number is quite large. Under the command of high-altitude electronic early warning aircraft and the detection of reconnaissance satellites, the fighter group only needs to be hundreds of kilometers away to directly launch missiles, and wait until the missiles fly to At 20 kilometers, turn on the missile-borne radar again to allow the missile to hit the target directly.

But there are two problems with this.

One is that the number of missiles carried by fighter planes is limited. Let alone one fighter plane, even if more than a dozen fighter planes are added together, it is difficult to compare with the amount of missiles carried by strategic bombers.

In this way, even if the MUTO group can be attacked beyond visual range, considering the terrifying number of MUTOs, it will only be a small loss.

After all, humans never expected that the weapons they developed would be used against such alien-like creatures.

In modern warfare, missiles are indeed very powerful. Sometimes just one hit on a ship can cause it to lose all combat capabilities or even sink.

Including a fleet, the total is only a dozen or dozens of ships. The number of missiles carried by the fighter formation is definitely enough.

But if faced with an astonishing number of MUTOs, it is like a human holding a powerful pistol. Although it can kill one person with one shot, if it is aimed at densely packed bugs, it may not be able to kill even 10% of the bugs if the pistol is useless.

In other words, conventional weapons and equipment used by humans to deal with small MUTOs are definitely not cost-effective and do not have equivalent gains.

It can only be used to deal with large MUTO-A type creatures, and the effect is pretty good.

The second troublesome problem is that missiles flying at several Mach speeds were actually detected by the large MUTO-A and destroyed in one fell swoop using mass bombs!

Missiles have never been seen to track enemy aircraft. Where have I seen missiles that can perform various tactical maneuvers to avoid them like fighter planes?

Yes, when ten missiles are launched, seven missiles will often reach a range close to 20 kilometers. Then it was hit by a mass bullet in the air!

Originally, the results of using missiles in this situation were annoying, and the success rate was reduced to 30%. This is an intolerable point for everyone anyway.

“No, we must change our attack method!”

After the commander of the Third Fleet, Lieutenant General Kenneth Floyd, learned of the results of the attack, he immediately rejected the use of beyond-visual-range missile attacks.

“How long are we ahead?”

“Thirty-two hours left!”

The general next to him replied.

“What if we include the opponent’s speed?”

“…This way we can meet each other in only twenty hours.”

Spreading out the map, Commander Floyd quickly calculated the distance. Twenty hours later. The two sides will encounter each other about 1,460 kilometers southeast of Tasmania, Australia.

This place is still 2,284 kilometers away from Sydney and less than 1,000 kilometers away from the southern coastal city of New Zealand, Invercargill!

At the speed at which these monsters are detected at this time, if there is a sudden diversion in this place twenty hours later, then as long as

In sixteen hours, you can land in New Zealand.

Based on this calculation, the time left for New Zealand is only thirty-six hours!

Forty-four hours left on the Australian island of Tasmania!

There are only ten to twenty more hours left in Melbourne and Sydney.

More than a day later. There is no way to stop this MUTO from entering the sea. Then New Zealand will suffer first, and one day later it will be Australia’s turn!

Of course, by this time, the number of MUTOs in Antarctica will have climbed to more than 15 billion!

No, not only that, at the same time, Chile and Argentina in South America will also face this unprecedented disaster!

Freud could think of it. The Australian military, which shares US military intelligence, can naturally expect this result.

Andrews glanced at the map with a pale face and turned his gaze to Prime Minister Tony Abbott.

“Is it this bad?”

Albert looked away from the map and couldn’t help but frown, feeling extremely worried.

Previously, Andrews thought that the US military could stop MUTOs from entering the sea, so they only had to face seven million MUTOs. Unexpectedly, the US military failed to intercept them and also lost several strategic bombers in one go. Despicable retreated back, much to his irritation.

What are the consequences of a failed interception?

This is the result of their calculation now. A horrifying result.

According to the previous calculations, it is easy to draw a conclusion. Only five or six hours have passed, and the number of MUTOs in the sea has reached more than 22 million!

Two days later, if the speed of MUTO entering the sea does not slow down at all, hundreds of millions of MUTO will continue to land on the coast of Australia.

With such a large number of monsters, Andrews did not think that he could annihilate them all with the power of his country’s military.

To put it simply, if these unknown creatures are replaced by the same number of rabbits, they may not be able to kill them all in a short time even if they are soft-handed, not to mention that MUTO is by no means a weak rabbit.

“Mr. Minister, do you have any suggestions?”

Abbott began to ask his defense minister for his opinion.

“Your Excellency, I think… our own strength alone is not enough to fight against such a large number of MUTOs. So I suggest… first urgently evacuate the residents of coastal cities, and then mobilize national military forces and deploy… Of course, it is best The only alternative is to let the United States use nuclear weapons, which may prevent these monsters from landing.”

“nuclear weapon?”

Albert pondered and said nothing. Using nuclear weapons in the South China Sea of ​​Australia is not a trivial matter. However, compared with the subsequent tragedy, the use of nuclear weapons is really not a big deal. The biggest difficulty is getting the United States to agree to use nuclear weapons.

this……

It should not be difficult to do. After all, American think tanks are not fools. When seeing such a critical situation, they will definitely recommend that the president use nuclear weapons to block the progress of MUTO.

Even a preliminary test is fine. (To be continued ~^~)
