535. The One Who Must Not Be Named
News of the nuclear launch spread globally like wildfire, and by the time dawn broke over the northern hemisphere, every single news channel had the satellite footage of the enormous mushroom cloud on display.The International Peacekeeping Union called an emergency meeting of all 17 major countries, including Valheim and the military Republic of Orichoko.The President of the Council was furious about the unexpected nuclear launch, and his eyes were fixed on the 3 major nuclear powers.“There was a nuclear detonation over Gulliver’s Reef last night. But no one has accepted responsibility for the test,” he barked, staring daggers at the Defense Ministers of each nuclear nation. “You can try to play it smart, but I know it was one of you three. Only 3 countries have nuclear capabilities. It’s either Valheim, Orichoko, or Zorland!”“It wasn’t us. We don’t even have the capability to hit a target that far away,” the minister from Orichoko replied. “Clearly, there is a bigger fish in this
534. Operation Daybreak
As advised by Alex, the missiles were dismantled, and each part was loaded onto a separate truck while the warheads were airlifted via heavy-duty transport choppers.While all parts were bound for the same location, they were moved through different routes.Some were loaded onto private jets while others were shipped onto yachts and fishing trawlers.By scattering the components, they avoided attracting any unwanted attention and were easily able to clear all checkpoints without raising any suspicion.Right at the stroke of midnight, the first choppers landed in Santini, followed by the jets, yachts, and fishing boats, which took longer routes to confuse the coast guard and curious radar operators.Once all the components had landed, Samantha and her team started working double-time to reassemble the nukes.Meanwhile, Captain Williams and his elite commandos patrolled the beaches, keeping an eye out for any snooping boats and aircraft.“What’s the status, Captain?” Alex radioed in.“T
533. Nuclear Dreams
By revealing his true identity, Alex had sparked Elaine’s rebellious spirit, instilling him with a fiery new sense of hope.Even though President Sebastian held absolute power over Alexandria, Alex could already envision the possibility of change once people discovered the truth about their corrupted leaders.For now, however, Alex’s top priority was bolstering Alexandria’s military capabilities. And a nuclear revival was the best choice on the table.That same day, Alex took the evening flight and returned to Glenmonte. Once there, he drove straight to Cherry Hearse Avenue to meet Samantha at the secret nuclear research facility.Samantha welcomed Alex with a confident smile and gestured toward the nuclear storage facility behind.“We managed to finally refine the uranium and install it into two separate warheads. Our first atomic bombs are ready for testing.”“Well done. I am proud of all of you. Today, you’ve laid the foundations for helping Alexandria reclaim her lost glory,” Alex
532. A Spark of Revolution
By promising to sell weapons to Valheim and stop building the Golden Dome, Alex had presented himself as a harmless ally.However, his call for a direct negotiation with Sergei Zharkov complicated things for the President and his lackeys.Even though Alex would rather lose his life than betray his beloved nation, he had lied with a purpose.He needed more time to build his forces and weed out the corrupt.And by giving President Sebastian the task of arranging a meeting with Valheim’s Minister of External Affairs, Alex had given him something to keep him occupied.With the meeting concluded, Alex flew back to Ivera.But instead of returning to Hannington, he landed in Clover Dale to meet the leader of the opposition, Elaine Braithwaite.Despite his ripe old age, Elaine was the only one who dared to stand against the President, and that too in open defiance of all his policies.Even though Alex knew very little of Elaine, he had a feeling that the man hadn’t sold himself out to Valheim
531. The Overlord
Alex had expected opposition from the heads of state, but he had never imagined that the ones in office would openly discuss betraying Alexandria to the enemy.It was completely clear now that their masters in Valheim wanted to disarm Alexandria and weaken her so badly that she wouldn’t be able to defend the next invasion.Even though Alex wanted to rip out Douglas’ tongue for making such an offer, he suppressed his rage for the moment and spoke as calmly as he could.“What would you get by destroying the very nation that fed, clothed, and sheltered you?”Douglas scoffed at his naïve words and gestured with his open arms.“Open your eyes and look around you! Alexandria is already falling apart. There is no saving this country. Valestra and Ivera are crumbling from within. We are neck-deep in debt, and the army has been reduced to a shadow of its former self. There is nothing left to cling to. Alexandria’s past glory doesn’t matter anymore. What matters is where we are headed. And I, f
530. A Meeting With the President
The lines were in code, but Alex knew exactly what the message meant. He had been waiting for this day ever since he’d gotten his hands on Raul’s research, and now the future had finally arrived.Instead of replying to the text, Alex deleted the message.He knew the information was far too valuable to be picked up by the enemy, so he chose to switch to a secure channel on a private satellite radio designed by Kronos Tech.“Sam…it’s me…Can you hear me?”Amidst cracks of static, Samantha’s voice rose from the other side, diminished and shrill.“Loud…and clear!”“Get things ready. I am already on my way to lay the final touches. I want the bird ready to fly by tomorrow.”“Understood. Preparations are already underway. We are going to test two separate designs with two flight paths. The only problem now is a safe landing location.”“I have a place in mind,” Alex replied. “I’ll send you the coordinates and discuss everything else in the morning. Just get everything shipshape. And remember
