Chapter 576 Black Box Effect
The . military base in Japan was in chaos, with alarms sounding all the time. Especially at the Yokota Air Base, where planes took off and landed, people were running around in a panic everywhere.
It's not the kind of chaos that is busy but orderly, but it's really a mess.
Out of nowhere, it looked like a doomsday scene.
As soon as this thought popped up in his mind, Gao Yi slapped himself lightly in the face.
Two nuclear bombs have been exploded. Who knows if a third nuclear bomb will explode near the military base in the next second? In this case, it would be a doomsday-level disaster.
No matter how severe a natural disaster is, it cannot completely destroy a country, but a doomsday-level war can really destroy a country.
Kant led Gao Yi directly to the . military headquarters. There was not always someone on duty here, but now, Gao Yi saw many senior officers and even generals running towards the office after getting off the car.
The nuclear explosion happened more than an hour ago, and the second nuclear explosion happened nearly half an hour ago. These people are only arriving now. Aren’t they acting too slowly?
Warships left the port and military planes took off, but Gao Yi could not see any of this.
What Gao Yi could see was the panic-stricken and frightened look of the US military in the highest command center in Japan.
"Why did you bring us here?"
"Because communication is most convenient here."
Kant replied hurriedly, and he took Gao Yi to an elevator, but when he saw that the elevator was already full of people, he turned around, waved, and took Gao Yi up the stairs.
"The CIA hasn't contacted them yet, and even if they did, they wouldn't be able to get much information. There's still no news from the embassy, but I suspect the situation has worsened again, and the people in the embassy should also come here to hide."
Kant walked quickly, taking Gao Yi and the others up the stairs to the second floor. They walked to an inconspicuous office and pushed open the door.
"This is my office. It's safe. Now I have to provide military intelligence to the headquarters, but God knows what I will say."
After entering his office, Kant turned around, spread his hands with a helpless look on his face, and said to Danny who came in last: "Close the door."
Danny closed the door quietly.
Kanter said to Gao Yi, "The situation is already very bad. You have to tell me the truth, man. If you were not standing in front of me, I would suspect that you just wanted to destroy Benzi. I know the historical grievances between Dongda and Benzi very well, but you are here. If you want to die, we will die together. So, tell me, have you been fooled? Have you been used by the Russians?"
Gao Yi understood Kant's concerns, and he also understood why Kant brought him to the headquarters.
If there really was a nuclear bomb aimed at the US military headquarters, Gao Yi would have to be buried with Kant.
Strictly speaking, Yuri does tend to be a loner.
However, Gao Yi had to hold on no matter what. Even if a nuclear bomb exploded over his head, he would insist that it never happened.
"Don't worry."
Gao Yi looked calm. He pressed his hands down towards Kant and said, "We brought three nuclear bombs in total. The first one was detonated as planned. The second one had some accidents, so we just detonated it. We have to use the third one as well, otherwise it will be a bad ending. However, the explosion point of the third nuclear bomb is at the Bakong Yiyu Tower."
"you sure?"
"Of course I'm sure."
"The video says that New York and Los Angeles will also be attacked. Are these really not going to happen?"
Gao Yi laughed, then he spread his hands and said: "Dude, I'm not crazy."
Kant sighed softly, then shook his head and said, "I'm not sure now. Have you ever thought about this? You are the only one in the world who knows the real inside story. You are the only one who can contact these lunatics and communicate with them."
Gao Yi thought about it and said, "It seems to be true."
Kanter continued, "We are now in the same group. I personally participated in part of this operation. However, even I am not sure whether what you said is the truth. This operation involves so many people, including the White House, Wall Street, CIA, France, Britain, and Russia. Man, you can't even convince me, your accomplice. How can you convince those who don't understand this at all?"
"Uh……"
"You know what the black box effect is? When people are faced with unknown situations or incomplete information, they tend to automatically assume the worst outcome instead of thinking positively. In other words, if things continue on the current trajectory, they will really get out of control."
Kant was already very impatient. He looked at the closed door, then he lowered his voice and said, "Now, I'm sure everyone is beginning to tend to believe the threat from the Russians in the video, rather than believing that this is just part of your plan. So, what you have to do is tell me the truth, man, at least let me know whether I should try to grab a seat on the plane that leaves Benzi now!"
Gao Yi found that he might have really ignored the psychological feelings of his allies, which was not good.
When a major crisis occurred, Gao Yi, the crisis creator, did not inform his own people what was happening and give his allies some reassurance. This was his dereliction of duty.
Gao Yi said seriously, "Believe me, there will be no problem. At most, there will be one more nuclear bomb explosion. Even if there are more nuclear explosions, I promise to let you know in advance."
Kant sighed, pointed to the closed door and whispered: "Now, I have to go and make a report to Lieutenant General Snyder. Tell me what I should say!" He just wanted to get a definite answer from Gao Yi.
Gao Yi thought for a moment and said to Kant: "How much does the lieutenant general know?"
"Knowing some things, but not the details, but now he has to know the details."
Gao Yi took a breath and said, "Do you dare to give him money directly?"
Kant was stunned for a moment, then he whispered, "We'll talk about the money later. What's important now is intelligence! Intelligence!"
"Just tell him that there will be a third nuclear bomb, but it will definitely not threaten all US military bases. Then tell him that the people who made the nuclear explosion can be contacted directly. Whether to contact them depends on the general's opinion. Is that okay?"
The best way to break the black box psychology effect is to let in the light.
If the highest commander of the US military headquarters in this country could personally contact the person who caused the nuclear explosion, he would definitely feel a lot more at ease.
Kant's eyes lit up, and he whispered, "Can we really get in touch?"
"It really can, and I can even talk to you directly. Man, believe me, the situation is not out of control. Although there was a small accident, everything is under control. Just give me a satellite phone, an ordinary one that works."
Kanter began to believe Gao Yi. He hurriedly said, "Just wait in this office. Don't go out now. Someone in military uniform may come in later. Don't worry."
As he spoke, Kant took out a satellite phone from his pocket, and then he whispered: "What I prepared for you will definitely not be eavesdropped on. I can assure you of this. Too many people will die if the news is leaked. I will go report first, and it may take a long time."
After saying that, Kanter hurried to leave, but before he left, he suddenly turned back and said, "Hurry up and make calls, especially to Russia and the University of Tokyo. It's not enough for us to know what's going on, we also have to make them relax."
Danny left in a hurry.
Gao Yi held the phone and pondered for a moment. Forget it. There's no point in picking a place or a phone number at this time. Kant was right. The important thing to do is to contact the person as soon as possible.
I have contacted Panetta, but I need to tell him again at this time.
After dialing Panetta's number, Gao Yi whispered, "It's me. I just got a simple satellite phone. The second nuclear bomb explosion was an accident, but there will be no problem. Everything is under control. Don't worry. Now I need to inform Russia of the news."
Panetta took a long breath and said, "Contact me as soon as possible. Communicate with me as soon as possible after this is over. The problem is quite serious right now. I need your first-hand information, but the consequences of a strategic misjudgment are too serious. Contact me first, quickly."
Panetta hung up the phone.
Gao Yi complained to Danny and Sis, "Why didn't you remind me..."
Danny said angrily, "Do I need to remind you to use the US military satellite network to call Russia?"
Gao Yi curled his lips. He hadn't decided who to call for the second time, but his finger automatically dialed Huang Haisheng's number.
"Hello, it's me."
Huang Haisheng's voice was trembling, but he tried his best to say in a calm tone: "Hello."
"Well, um, uh, it's just to remind you to get up and pee, and then tell you to watch the fireworks. How should I put it..."
Gao Yi really didn't know how to tell Huang Haisheng without violating taboos. After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly said, "Three times is the limit. Just set off fireworks at the designated location. No, it should be "Three Goats Bring Good Luck". And this... well, I can't tell whether it was a robbery or a fire at the city gate. Anyway, I'll tell you."
"I don't know what you're talking about, but I advise you not to play with fire."
Huang Haisheng calmed down, and then he suddenly said, "Although it is indeed very beautiful, I am afraid it may cause a fire."
"Yeah, contact me later."
Gao Yi was about to hang up the phone, but then he heard Huang Haisheng say, "Come on."
Then Huang Haisheng hung up the phone.
Gao Yi took a breath and called Marina. After Marina answered the phone, he whispered, "It's okay. Everything is fine except here. I'm just trying to scare you."
Marina exhaled softly and asked, "Are you okay?"
Gao Yi's heart skipped a beat. So this is what it feels like to be cared for by others. Well, the relationship with Marina that had developed over time was still different after all.
"I'm sure I'll be fine. Nothing will happen to me. Don't worry."
Gao Yi didn't say much, as there were still several people with connections waiting to be notified, so he said very gently: "I'm busy first, I'll tell you in detail when I'm done, bye."
