United States Invaded (35 page)

Senator Brownie responds, “Why Nanny, I am, the People’s Congress elected me to the position. That is until we have new elections. Please give our best to President Brownstone. We hope you enjoy your visit to Washington.”

Chapter 23

Alvin calls President Brownstone, “Sir, we’ve just received word that the LSA has agreed to send us Nanny Polsi to stand trial for fraud and tampering with our election laws. She’ll arrive at Andrews on a private plane at 7:00 PM this evening.”

“Alvin, excellent news. I want four FBI agents to meet her. Put her in solitary conferment. I don’t want her to speak to anyone yet.”

“Sir, what about her attorney?”

“Not until she’s charged. Use the terrorist act to hold her. Who’s now running the LSA?”

“The Senator and Governor of California, Brownie.”

“You’ve got to be kidding me? ‘Moonbat’ is running the country, heaven help them.”

“Sir, not only is he now the acting president of the LSA, he’s asked for a private face to face meeting with you, he asked for it to be held in neutral territory.” 

“What is he suggesting?”

“Mr. President, he suggested Montreal.”

“I wouldn’t consider them neutral. Do you have any suggestions?”

“I can’t think of a neutral location that’s close to both of you. Why not show a ton of good faith and hold it in Los Angeles?”

“Alvin, won’t that give him a giant PR win?”

“He got rid of Nanny, would you rather be dealing with Brownie or Nanny?”

“You’ve got a good point there. OK, tell him, I’ll come to LA.”

President Brownstone’s next meeting is with John, the Secretary of Defense, “John, how bad is the situation?”

“Mr. President, we’ve fought the United Nations invasion to a standstill or we defeated their first attacks in all locations except for the Trident Base in Washington. They attacked it with an armored column they staged at Fort Lewis.”

“What did we lose?”

“The boat in dry dock was destroyed by its crew; however the Russians got twenty-four Tridents and 96 Mark 88 warheads.”

“Damn it. Did they get our codes?”

“No, the security staff destroyed them with thermite grenades. We’ve taken their submarine fleet threat from the Atlantic. I bet the attack on their boats by the Chinese came as a rude surprise to Puten.”

“I read Admiral Zander’s report. His idea to quickly update the Captor mines was brilliant. Where do we expect them to hit next?”

“With their navy all but destroyed, I’d guess they will default to a land attack. For a PR win I think they will go after the Pantex Plant in Amarillo, Texas. Since that’s our only nuclear weapons plant, it will give the United Nations a huge PR sound bite and frankly hurt us in our efforts updating our nuclear weapons systems.”

“Have you spoken with Governor Lawson?”

“Yes sir, we’ve also moved a number of troops and armor from Fort Hood. The Russians are building up forces in Mexico; Pantex is the only logical target in the area.”

“John, can you hit their bases in Mexico with a spoiling attack?”

“Yes sir, after our attack on the cartels, Mexico isn’t going to even try to intercept our planes, they lost fourteen fighters the last time they tried to slow us down.”

“John do what you can to reinforce Pantex, move the key people and files out of the base, try to move some forces on the path they have to use between their bases and Pantex. Maybe we can cut them down by a thousand cuts. Make them bleed for every foot of our country they set foot on.”  

“Yes sir.”

“I guess the Russians don’t view the wall along the border as a major hold up.”

“Sir, they’re going to most-likely blow it up and drive through the hole.”

President Puten and the new Russian Federation Defense Minister are meeting to plan their next actions in the invasion of the USA. “Mr. President, our next target is the American Pantex nuclear plant in Texas. This is the American’s only nuclear weapons plant. Taking it will put a stop to them building and updating new weapons. We’ll also capture much of their nuclear materials and older warheads. In addition, we’ll capture all of their equipment.”

“Excellent, do we have sufficient forces available?”

“Yes sir, we’ve been marshalling forces in Mexico, when we’re ready, we’re going to going to cross over into Texas at Del Rio and from there we’ll travel to San Angelo, where we head to Lubbock and finally Amarillo. It’s a long march. However, we’ll have anti-air vehicles and attack helicopters with us. We’ll be attacking with 200 tanks and 400 armored troop carriers.”

“What about fuel?”

“Mr. President we’re traveling in Texas, the ground almost oozes oil, we’ll supply from the towns we pass through. There will be more than enough fuel and food to support our troops that leaves us more room for weapons and troops.”

“Minister, what about their wall?”

“Sir, we’re going to blow a large enough hole in it that will enable our tanks and trucks to drive through into the USA.”

“Minister, your plan is approved. When will you launch it?”

“Mr. President, I want to have all of our forces in place, and our troops acclimated to the time and weather changes before we begin the road march.”

“Excellent idea. What about the Naval weapons depot in Norfolk?”

“Mr. President, there’s no way we want to go near Norfolk. The entire peninsula is very heavily armed and defended. Our senior Air Force staff are looking into a precision bombing attack, sir, we can’t support a land attack.”

“Keep me informed.”

“Yes sir.”

“Kath, have you seen the news?”

“Not yet, what happened now?”

“The People’s Congress in the LSA, hell of the name for it isn’t it? Just replaced Nanny with Governor Brownie as acting President. He and President Brownstone have agreed to a face to face meeting. On the war news, looks like the United Nations, I mean the Russians captured the Trident base in Washington State.”

“I could see that coming, stuck in hostile territory, no way to easily or quickly reinforce them, they were screwed. I hope the damn Russians didn’t get their hands on anything of value.”

“Don’t know, the news isn’t saying anything. Not even Wolf, which leads me to believe they got the bases weapons. If there were good news, every network would be reporting it.”

Laughing, Kathy responds, “They wouldn’t all report it as good news, many want total nuclear disarmament. They’re supporting the United Nations.”

“Wish we could kick them out of the country.”

“Can’t, remember, freedom of the press. President Brownstone wants a strong and independent press even if they criticize him.”

“So they can lie and bend the truth?”

“Haven’t they always? They report the news from their point of view. To the media, truth is based on their point of view and how they determine the story will best meet their goals.”

“Do you think the Russians are going to attack any place close to us?”

“Honey, there’s nothing here, except for DC, and on most days, I’d give real money to have anyone attack DC. I don’t think even Puten is dumb enough to try and attack our capital, the repercussions will spread around the world. I bet Brownstone would level Moscow if Puten sent one Russian trooper into DC.”

“I hope so, because as long as they stay away from here, you won’t get any stupid ideas in your head about going to join the fight. Brad, let others, let younger people fight the battle.”

“Honey, if everyone thought let someone else fight for the country, we wouldn’t have a country. There wouldn’t be a USA. We all have to do what we can.”

“You’re pig-headed. I don’t think any Army in their right mind will touch you, you’re a senior citizen, you can’t fight.”

“I can shoot; I can be a sniper. I’ll do anything I can to win the war and push the United Nations out of here.”

“Honey, I just hope the war doesn’t get close to us. I don’t want to lose you.”

“Don’t you think every spouse of every soldier feels the same way?”

“You’re not a soldier.”

“I am if it will mean our grandkids grow up free.”

Television around the world is interrupted by flash news reports, “Repeating at 4: 55PM Eastern Standard Time a truck bomb exploded outside the United Nations Headquarters in New York City. The bomb was in a white telephone van, the New York bomb squad report the bomb was more than 3,000 pounds. The entire front face of the building has been torn apart, eight of the thirty-nine floors have collapsed. Thousands are reported dead, tens of thousands are injured. The blast destroyed buildings across the street from the United Nations. A tugboat in the river was capsized from the blast, blocking river traffic. All traffic in the area of the United Nations building has been blocked. Bodies were blown out of the United Nations building. So far no one has claimed responsibility for the attack. We have no idea who planned or carried out the attack against the United Nations.

“Please hold on one moment, I’ve just been handed a report, this report is unconfirmed at this point. What’s that?   We now have confirmation that a truck bomb has exploded next to the Russian embassy building in New York City. The truck bomb was so large, the Russian embassy has been leveled. The entire block is a smoking pile of debris. There must have been a large loss of life. The truck bomb left a 100 meter hole in the street. The explosion broke open a gas pipe under the street; the resulting fireball engulfed twenty vehicles, causing their gas tanks to explode. The fire has spread to four blocks near the Russian Embassy. So far no one has claimed responsibility for either attack.

“Here are images from the United Nations building; you can see lines of ambulances waiting to take the injured to the city's hospitals.” The television screens around the world go white with a flash of light. The anchor screams, “What was that?”

“Oh my God, there was another truck bomb! One of the ambulances was loaded with explosives and it was timed to go off when the recovery operation was in process. Hundreds of first responders were just killed, the shock wave brought down the rest of the front facing floors in the United Nations building, most likely killing any first responders and anyone else still in the building. This was a horrible act. It was an act of pure terror. The only reason why anyone would set the second bomb was to hurt the recovery operations.”

People around the world sat in front of their televisions and computers in shock. None had ever before witnessed a truck bomb going off on live television. Bodies and parts of bodies cover the street. Many watchers are sick to their stomachs watching the action live in high definition. The rescuers now require rescuing. Thousands of New York City’s finest police and fire staff are dead or buried in the collapsed United Nations building.

Most of the world is in shock. Mayor DeFacto visits the scene of the bombing; he looks around and has to run off the screen, so he doesn’t throw up in front of hundreds of millions of viewers destroying his chance for higher office within the LSA.

Security is increased at every Russian embassy in America. President Puten is furious someone broke their security and killed so many of his people. Puten talks out loud, “I hate Americans, I hate their country, and each and every one of them. They’re the only ones who would and could have done this. I want revenge on them.” Before he can complete his thought, the networks report the Venezuelan embassy in New York has been destroyed by a large truck bomb, there’s nothing left of the embassy except for a large smoking hole in the ground. Fires are burning out of control all around what used to be an embassy.  

The media reporters are teary eyed sitting in front of the cameras. Today has been the worst terror attack in New York City’s history. The number of dead currently stands at 6,800 and is growing almost hourly. The reporters are worried another bomb is going to explode. Cameras show New York City streets are empty; no one is out, no one is riding the taxis or subways. Everyone is scared to venture out. No one is sure they’ve seen the last of the truck bombs. Everyone living close to one of the major embassies is trying to get themselves and their families away from what they hope isn’t another ground zero. Even the local gangs have decided to stay indoors. New York City has been brought to its knees.

While the reporters are discussing the day’s horrible events, reports flow in that two buses filled with explosives have exploded at Grand Central Station completely destroying the building, the building imploded on itself.

No one in New York City knows where or when the next bomb will go off. Everyone is scared to venture outside. The NYPD and NYFD have lost many of their people in the various explosions.

The United Nations is in chaos, hundreds of delegates are dead or seriously wounded. The two blasts have put the United Nations out of commission until it can find a new headquarters location and bring in new delegates.
