Chapter 834 (1/2)

The conference room in the Pentagon is full of people at the table. Sitting here at the moment is almost at the heart of the American power class.

Not only senior defense officials, but politicians from the White House also visited the room on a rare basis. On the left hand side of secretary of defense Ashton Carter, President Hillary Clinton, her chief of staff, and the White House national security adviser.

The atmosphere on the conference table was very depressing, and everyone's faces were not very good-looking.

At this time, the door of the conference room opened, a young man in a suit held a thick stack of documents in his hand, and meteor strode in.

”Morrel, you are late.” Ashton Carter complained.

”Sorry, it took some time to print these materials Where's my seat? ”

”It's a bit crowded today.” With a sigh, Mr. Carter looked at the assistant standing beside him. ”Bring a chair for Mr. Morrel.”

”OK.” The assistant nodded and turned to the door.

Hillary exchanged views with her chief of staff and then looked at Ashton.

”Now that everyone is here, can we start?”

”Of course,” Ashton nodded and looked at Morrel. ”Well, let's get started, starting with the page at the military base on Guam.”

”All right, boss.” Morrel immediately turned over the document to the report page of the military base on Guam. He did not care about the lack of chairs, so he stood at the table and read, ”at 3:00 a.m. on July 24, the dolphin-10 ballistic missile of star ring trade launched from the submarine missile well in the Western Pacific Ocean. When the missile rose to the stratosphere, it briefly appeared in the Sade anti missile system deployed at the military base of Guam On the whole... ”

”For a short time?” Hillary's eyebrows raised, her pen gently nodded on the book, and interrupted Morrel. ”I want to know how short this is. How many minutes is it?”

Hearing this question, Morrel's expression suddenly embarrassed, and gave his immediate boss Ashton a subtle glance.

However, the latter did not understand, just impatiently said.

”Don't waste our time when the president asks you questions.”

”Yes...”

Morrel nodded and looked at Hillary. After a moment's hesitation, he finally made up his mind to tell the truth to all of you.

”Two seconds.”

There was silence in the conference room.

Although it had been quiet, Morrel felt a kind of dead silence at the moment.

“…… Thank you Taking the chair from the assistant's hand, Morrel breathed a sigh of relief, whispered thanks, and sat down on the chair.

He didn't want to bear the feeling that his eyes were focused on him for a second.

The silence lasted a long time at the table before Hillary broke it and looked at Ashton.

”The Defense Department's budget isn't enough, you tell me, there's no need to play tricks in this kind of meeting.”

In a second, Ashton hasn't come back to this number.

Two seconds?

How could that be possible!

From the time of Moro's independence war, the United States forced the United States to make concessions by using intercontinental missiles in the star ring trade, and the United States strengthened its anti missile deployment to the military base in Guam. Not only has the state-of-the-art Sade system been deployed at the military base in Guam, but also the radar of the original patriot 3 air defense system has been updated

Now, however, the head of the military base on Guam told him that they had only observed two seconds?
