Chapter 586 - The World Was Frightened! (2/2)
But nuclear weapons were different.
A ten-thousand-ton nuclear weapon could level a town.
A hundred-thousand-ton or a million-ton bomb could even destroy a large city, and a ten-million-ton weapon would be powerful enough to blow the larger cities like London and New York, leaving only a giant pit. The Soviet Union had once tried to test a hundred-million-ton nuclear bomb and its power was unimaginable. No one survived within a hundred miles and the sound of its explosion was spread in a three thousand miles range.
Immortal State Warriors were like children when faced with nuclear weapons. That was why both the Dark World Arbitration Department and the Christian Church had retreated. No matter how invincible Chen Fan was, the five superpowers would never care about him.
But the energy Chen Fan had gathered above London had made the United States anxious.
“The energy level reached ten thousand tons? Does it mean that he can blow up a city with ten thousand residents?”
The Generals looked at one another.
They had a few thousand nuclear bombs of a million tons handy, so they didn’t mind any ten-thousand-ton nuclear weapons, but those bombs were locked in the missile depot and could only be used with the President’s authorization.
And the Five Thunder Seal was in Chen Fan’s hands.
It was like having someone pointing a gun at them with the intent of seeking revenge.
How could the United States be at ease?
“If we offend Chen Beixuan someday and he releases this super weapon in New York or Boston, we’re going to suffer from a loss of trillions of dollars and up to a hundred times the casualties we suffered in the 9/11 incident!” the expert concluded.
The Generals blanched and even the white-haired Minister was stunned.
A 9/11 incident almost forced the President to step down, then what about a hundred?
“Our country can’t bear to leave such a danger alone! We either kill Chen Beixuan or rope him in. There’s no other choice!” the Minister said.
His thought wasn’t wrong.
“If you threatened my safety, then you had made the mistake of your life. I wouldn’t be able to sleep without eliminating you!” This was like a situation where someone suddenly took out a knife in a peaceful dorm room. “You might not be stabbing me, but I would feel threatened.”
“Minister, I request the use of G.o.d-battling Armors and G.o.d-killing weapons to eliminate Chen Beixuan!”
A Major General of the Navy rose.
“I second the motion!”
The Lieutenant General of the Air Force got up.
“I concur!”
The Major General of the army followed.
Almost half of the Generals at the meeting got up one after another, while the high-ranking Generals were still sitting there, looking at the others.
The white-haired Minister Iron Fist sat straight while he tapped his fingers on the desk, then he said after a while, “Let’s send the CIA first. Ask him how much money or which company’s shares he wants. We’ll satisfy his demands even if it implies hundreds of billions of dollars or the control of a country, but if he doesn’t compromise…”
Minister Iron Fist continued with his cold eyes, “Immediately execute the beheading plan!”
“Yes sir!”
All of the Generals rose to their feet.
Not only was the United States terrified, other superpowers like England, France, Russia and China were all shocked and frightened. All those countries had secretly developed this kind of energy-measuring instrument, so apart from the United States, few others also had detailed data taken after monitoring the sea of thunder.
“The energy of ten thousand tons of explosives, which is equal to the power of a small nuclear weapon. How did Chen Beixuan do it?”
In the Kunlun Base, Director Xiao read the report as his hands trembled.
No matter how strong an Immortal State Warrior was, the power of his attack could only compare to a missile, and a missile could only carry tens of tons of explosives. However, there weren’t any other weapons that could contain ten thousand tons of explosives except nuclear weapons.
“Director, I think we’ve underestimated Chen Beixuan all this time,” Black Tortoise said seriously.
Chen Fan had never taken the five superpowers seriously in the past. Russia declared a truce only because they didn’t want to fight with Chen Fan anymore. The European Union made peace with him, not because they were afraid of him; they had realized that continuing the battle was a meaningless and fruitless strategy.
But it was different at the moment. What Chen Fan had was a weapon that could threaten the superpowers.
Although it was just a small ten-thousand-ton nuclear bomb, it had frightened a lot of big countries, and even superpowers like the United States had their eyes wide open.
“Nuclear power is the most sensitive nerve of the United States. Iraq and Libya wanted to develop their own nuclear weapons and they were sanctioned for decades because of it. Without our protection, the two countries would have been blown to pieces. Chen Beixuan is in big trouble this time.”
White Tiger shook his head.
Director Xiao held the doc.u.ment tightly without saying a word.
A glint of anxiousness flashed through Red Sparrow’s eyes.
