North America.

East Coast of America.

The city of Jacksonville on the border of Florida and Georgia.

The warm sea breeze in summer blows on this coastal city, bringing warm water vapor from the North Atlantic.

In nearby Kings Bay, there is the famous local submarine base of the US military, which is also known as the most leisurely resting port of the Navy.

At this time, four nuclear submarines, the USS Florida, USS Alaska, USS Maryland, and USS Wyoming, are moored in the dedicated submarine port in the bay.

A large number of sailors use this place as a vacation place.

Maintenance personnel who were sent to maintain the submarine were currently conducting maintenance on the Florida.

Mark, the engineer who was inspecting the silencer tiles on the surface of the submarine, was doing the inspection in a perfunctory manner. Suddenly he was tapped on the shoulder. The startled Mark looked behind him angrily.

The tall boss was looking at him with an unhappy look on his face, and then threatened: "Mark, don't you want to work anymore? If there is a problem with the silencer tile, you will have to go to a military court."

"I know..." Mark replied very perfunctorily.

Suddenly his eyes widened.

what?

torpedo?

"Mark! Are you listening?" The boss became even more angry.

But Mark pointed at the sea behind his boss with trembling hands: "Torpedoes! There are torpedoes!"

"What? This joke is not funny at all..." The boss was confused.

But Mark, who looked horrified, immediately pulled his boss to lie down on the deck.

boom! Not far away, near the waterline on the side of the Alaskan ship, a large hole was instantly blown out. The violent explosion caused water columns to rise into the sky.

Mark and his boss, who were more than two hundred meters away, were suddenly drenched by the sea water.

"What's going on? Enemy attack?" The boss got up and looked at the Alaska, which had tilted a little, in shock.

Right now.

The base's alarm screamed loudly.

The sailors in the port were like headless flies, confused by the sudden explosions and sirens.

In fact, it's no wonder that the sailors at Kings Bay Base are so lax and at a loss. The main reason is that this is the mainland of America. This base has not been attacked since its establishment.

In addition, for the past thirty years, America has become accustomed to being domineering around the world, and she never thought that anyone would dare to disturb Tai Sui.

Mark quickly left the submarine deck.

Other colleagues also ran out of the submarine one after another.

At this moment, the radiation detectors carried by several engineers responsible for repairing the nuclear reactor started beeping intensively.

"Oh my God!"

"what happened?"

"Could it be that the Alaska's reactor was hit?"

Mark shook his head: "Impossible, I saw that the torpedo did not hit the reactor location."

"Stop talking and leave!"

The maintenance engineers who reacted did not care about anything else and ran desperately towards the underground bunker inside the base.

Fortunately, a few engineers were conscientious. Before escaping, they reported to the officer in charge of maintenance work that the radiation at the explosion site seriously exceeded the standard, so that the other party could quickly prepare radiation protection measures.

After more than half an hour of chaos, the base finally gradually returned to normal order.

But at this time, Major General Carnegie, who was in charge of the base, had an expression on his face as if he had eaten several kilograms of flies.

"The nuclear radiation seriously exceeded the standard? Dozens of sailors showed signs of radiation sickness? Bastard! Could it be that the reactor was damaged?"

However, Lieutenant Colonel Kevin, the person in charge of maintenance work, and Lieutenant Colonel Austin, the person in charge of base security work, both shook their heads in unison.

"The reactor was not destroyed? Where did the nuclear radiation come from? Do you want to tell me that the Alaska was attacked by a nuclear bomb?" Major General Carnegie asked very angrily.

Lieutenant Colonel Kevin replied solemnly: "Yes, Your Majesty Major General, we were attacked by a nuclear bomb! To be precise, it was a dirty bomb. The explosion did not produce a large amount of fission reaction, but released radioactive dust. It’s contaminated the base’s submarines and ports.”

"..." Major General Carnegie's whole body felt bad. After calming down for a while, he yelled: "Fake Squid! Who did this?"

However, it was no use how they yelled and cursed.

…

The Pentagon and even the City on the Hill Council behind it all received this emergency notification at the same time.

In the Appalachian Mountains of Virginia.

Inside a low-key large manor hidden here, this is one of the four rotation points of the Council of the City on the Hill.

This quarter it has just been the turn of this point to serve as the Council's temporary office.

The formation of the four-city rotation system is mainly because the core members of the Council of the City on the Hill belong to various consortium families. If they are fixed in one place, families and consortiums in other areas will have opinions.

Therefore, a small remote city was selected in the southeast, northwest, and northwest as the office location for each quarter.

It also represents that every quarter, families and financial groups in the region will become the rotating directors of that quarter.

The Appalachian Mountains are in eastern North America, which means that the directors who are on rotation at this time are people from the Wall Street financial consortium.

For example, Thomas Morgan, Li Qingye's "old friend", is here right now.

"Kings Bay Base was raided by a dirty bomb?" Thomas' expression was very calm, but his eyes were filled with anger: "Is this the security you keep claiming?"

Whether it was the Black Ship (CIA), the FBI, or the US military generals, they all lowered their heads at this time and did not dare to look directly into the sharp eyes of Thomas and others.

Another fat old Mediterranean man put down the cigar in his hand: "Huh... have you found out who it is?"

"Yes...it's clover oak!" Jack replied nervously.

"Trefoil Oak? Is that the organization that has been causing a lot of trouble in Latin America recently?" Thomas's eyes flashed with a hint of viciousness and suspicion.

A thin layer of sweat appeared on Jack's forehead: "Yes, they marked the clover oak pattern on the torpedo shell, but it may also be deliberately disguised by other forces."

Thomas immediately issued an order: "Continue the investigation! I don't care if it is made of clove oak, but the source of the raw materials for the dirty bomb must be found out."

The other rotating directors also nodded.

In their opinion, the clover oak in Latin America does not have the ability to refine uranium 235. Even uranium 235 with a concentration of only 0.5 cannot be produced by underground rats like this.

And for this kind of thing, there is a high probability that other powers or regional tyrants are behind it.

The location takes place in the North Atlantic again, and it is most likely the forces surrounding the North Atlantic.

As a result, the scope of the culprits has been further narrowed.

Even an old agent like Jack, who has been engaged in intelligence all his life, has no suspicion of going to East Asia, Southeast Asia, and South Asia at this time.

After all, the two places are tens of thousands of kilometers apart. Conventional submarines cannot submerge for such a long time, and only a few forces have nuclear submarines.

According to their intelligence, the nuclear submarines of several forces in southeast Asia have alibis.

As for using other options, such as transporting it by civilian ships and then secretly dropping it near Kings Bay, that is also possible.

But in this way, as long as you investigate the ship records in recent days, you can basically identify which ships have passed through the surrounding waters.

Obviously they did not realize that the torpedo came by submarine, which involves the current technical blind spot.

As a result, Black Ship's investigation went in the wrong direction from the very beginning.

With such a serious incident happening in the mainland, Black Ship devoted almost all of its energy to the investigation of this matter.

In Southeast Asia, Joshua is disguising himself as a commercial investigator for a multinational trading company and heading to the Borneo region of Malaysia.
