INVASION USA (Book 2) - The Battle For New York (58 page)

*****

The chairman was in shock. Minutes earlier he had ordered his Politburo up on deck to be with him as they went under the bridge. He was excited about renaming the bridge, but then as the men arrived, everything seemed to go wrong.

The 14 men looked on in shock as one ship exploded after the other, and they all held on as the vibrations of the engines in reverse tried to still the large ship. Slowly, they inched under the bridge, and the chairman put his hands up for silence. He shouted out as loud as he could that this bridge would now be “renamed the…” Suddenly hundreds of massive explosions filled the air from the bridge directly above them, shutting him up once and for all.

Hundreds of blinding explosions hurt their eyes and deafened their ears as the bridge span above them was ripped away from its two towers. Very slowly the whole structure above the aircraft carrier began to descend, gathering speed as it fell right on top of them.

The Chairman of Zedong Electronics—the most powerful man in the world, the man who had already killed one third of the world’s population—still had his arms outstretched and his mouth open mouthing words as the tons of steel and cement came down, crushing the whole tower of the aircraft carrier and imploding the steel structure into the flight deck as if it was paper. It turned everything underneath it into hamburger meat, and the whole bridge hit and then sliced and diced the dying ship into two. Within seconds, there was nothing left on the surface apart from rolling water and explosions, as hundreds of pockets of air boiled back up to the surface.

The whole bridge, the Politburo, the Chairman of the New World, and the entire aircraft carrier was gone—gone forever.
