United States Invaded (44 page)

The Cubans didn’t expect to be met with any force until they landed their troops; they were told the US Navy had no assets in the South Florida area to interfere with the invasion. The Cubans were correct; the US Navy was out of position to interfere with the Cuban invasion fleet. Unbeknownst to the Cubans, the US Air Force has an AWACS radar plane flying at 35,000 feet between Cuba and Florida watching for any invasion coming from Cuba. The AWACS could watch an area hundreds of miles around and below the plane. The AWACS saw the invasion fleet leaving the Cuban ports. The AWACS called a Harpoon armed B52 who attacked the invasion fleet from 50 miles away. The B52 launched twelve missiles before returning to their base to be rearmed. The Floridian small boat fleet moved away from the Cuban fleet when the missiles struck; they watched the missile strike tear apart the ships as each missile struck a Cuban freighter the defenders cheered. The small boats shot any survivors they found trying to swim away; many of the survivors were wounded, their blood attracted a school of sharks that attacked the Cubans from below the surface. When the defenders moved away from the burning sinking invasion fleet, they left none of the Cubans alive. Those who managed to get off the ships were either shot or eaten, none survived. Parts of bodies washed up on the Florida coastline for a week, causing local towns to close the beaches for swimming until they can be cleaned up and disinfected. 

Upon hearing of the Cuban invasion fleet disaster, the United Nations Secretary-General ordered every Cuban Air Force plane capable of carrying bombs into the air to attack Miami.

One hundred twenty-four  Cuban planes took off from various Cuban Air Force bases, the US Air Force AWACS “saw” them taking off, they called the raid to US Air Force and US Navy bases in South and Central Florida; 36 US fighters takeoff to meet the Cuban planes. Forty miles away from the Cubans, the US fighters launch 144 Advanced Anti-Air Missiles, (AIM 120D). These missiles are “Fire and Forget” they guide themselves to their targets. They have both IR and radar guiding control. By the time the Cuban's missile warning receivers alert the pilots, it’s too late, 80 of the American missiles strike the Cuban planes. The Americans close to a range of 20 miles when they fire IR Sidewinder missiles, some of the Cubans are able to return fire with six missiles, two strike American planes; one goes down; one is damaged. The Americans takedown an additional 29 Cuban planes. The remaining 15 Cuban planes drop their bombs into the ocean; they return to their bases five minutes before American cruise missiles strike the Cuban bases putting them out of action for weeks. A few of the American missiles strike and destroy the Cuban fuel tanks putting a serious dent into the Cuban’s ability to fly.

Along the long border between the LSA and the USA hundreds of thousands of civilians and children are pushed across the border in front of United Nations massed armor.

Chapter 30

Due to the high taxes and high cost of fuel and electricity, many families in the LSA can’t afford to pay their basic utility bills. Detroit, Chicago and New York City’s budgets are deeply in the red because their residents haven’t been paying for their water and electricity. In New York City, Mayor DeFarco announces that if the city’s residents don’t pay their minimum payments for the city supplied utilities, the city will start turning off the utilities. Detroit and Chicago follow DeFarco’s lead.

The media picks up the story;
The New York Slimes
prints the headline, “City cuts off basic human rights from the poor.”
The Chicago Journal
prints, “City to the poor: freeze and die of thirst.” The United Nations’ Secretary-General gives a press release saying, “The United Nations finds the withholding of basic human rights to their citizens is unacceptable. In order to provide the basic human needs to the residents of the cities, the United Nations has called the three mayors to a meeting in order to discuss why the progressives of all political parties are not supplying basic human needs to their residents.”

President Brownie is furious that the United Nations has decided to make an announcement without consulting him. The President calls the Secretary-General asking for a personal meeting.

The two meet in Boston, “Mr. Secretary-General, the LSA considers your remarks inflammatory and hurtful. Your remarks are casting the LSA in a bad light. We are a large supporter of the United Nations; we have allowed you to use our country as a staging area for your attack on the USA to disarm them. If you don’t cease your comments, we will stop allowing your troops to use our land as a staging area.”

“President Brownie, our prepared comments were made only to bring the situation out into the open and to see if you needed us to provide the LSA with assistance. Surely there is something financially wrong with the LSA if your people can’t afford to pay for water and electricity.”

“Mr. Secretary-General, there is nothing financially wrong with the LSA, like all progressive states, most of our payments are for basic entitlements. If the residents of Detroit, Chicago and New York City would rather spend their money on new sneakers and other luxuries, isn’t that their personal decision?”

“Mr. President, we don’t feel that anyone in the world should have to make that decision. The United Nations is demanding that every citizen of the United Nations should have the basic human rights of water, electricity, and fresh, clean water provided free of charge to them.”

“Mr. Secretary-General, I understand, we in the LSA will agree with this, do you have any objections if the nation takes over the local utility suppliers?”

“President Brownie, no, we think that’s a good idea.”

“Excellent, then we agree. The LSA government will nationalize the utility companies, and we’ll merge them into a single LSA national company. We’ll apply a usage tax to cover the cost of supplying these basic human rights.”

“Mr. President, let’s make a joint announcement. I’m so pleased we can see eye to eye on this most-basic issue.”

The two meet the press to announce no one in the LSA will go without the basic human rights.

Rash and President Brownstone watching the two make the announcement, laugh. Rash says, “What happens when these new-unionized national workers demand a high wage and go on strike, the entire LSA will be shut down. They’ll be able to demand sky high wages because they now have the entire country held hostage. How can anyone not see this?”

“Rash, welcome to the progressive paradise. I’m betting the union will wait until the middle of winter before they strike, forcing the LSA to quickly giving into their demands. Rash, I’m expecting a call from John, is there anything else we need to cover today?”

“No sir, I can handle the rest, let me know when you decide to launch ‘Veiled Sword’ so I’m ready to handle the press.”

“If I were you, I’d get ready very quickly,”

John Sessions, the Secretary of Defense, calls President Brownstone, “Mr. President, the major offensive has started. Over a hundred thousand civilians, mostly children, are being herded in front of the advancing United Nations’ Armor. They're advancing all along our border. Based on the numbers, the Secretary-General must have stripped most of the world’s armor to build such numbers. I bet we’re looking at most of the Russian modern tanks leading the charge.”

“Just what we thought, you have my permission to launch ‘Operation Veiled Sword.' I repeat, you have permission to launch ‘Operation Veiled Sword.'”

“Yes sir, thank you, I’ll keep you informed. Sir, I suggest you move to the White House shelter in case a couple of their columns break into DC.”

“John, I’m already here, thanks.”

@@@@@

General Wilson looks at his encrypted tablet, “Listen up everyone, we’re a go, ‘Operation Veiled Sword’ is a go. Our weapons are free, pass the word to GO.”

All along the front, missile batteries and artillery rounds fire. Their warheads are filled not with high explosives; they're filled with a gas. The gas puts everyone unprotected to sleep. When the warheads explode over the front lines and rear areas of the invaders, the civilians and children pushed in front of the invaders as human shields drop to the ground unconscious. The United Nations’ army didn’t carry MOPP 4 suits thinking the Americans would never use gas over their own territory. Tens of thousands of troops fall unconscious, armor drivers fall over inside the tanks and APCs while their vehicles are still moving. Many of the driverless vehicles drive over fallen troops, crushing them. Others end up against trees, or buildings.

General Wilson reviews the reports, before ordering, “To make sure none of these bastards is playing possum, hit them with another volley." Minutes later, thousands of shells explode over the front. Some of the gas is carried by the wind covering American towns, causing the American civilians to also collapse unconscious. Hundreds are wounded from accidents. President Brownstone made the decision more American civilians would be harmed and killed in a normal attack than if the gas were used. While he didn’t like the idea of any Americans to be harmed by the gas, he felt he had no other choice. He couldn’t warn the local towns located at the invasion points because he knew the United Nations would discover the plan.

The American military and militias move to tie and disarm the invaders. Military police and construction teams build barb wire enclosures to hold the invader's prisoner. When the United Nations’ troops wake, they find themselves disarmed, their wrists tied behind their backs, their own armor outside the fences aiming at the troops inside the prisoner area.

“Mr. President, ‘Operation Veiled Sword’ appears to have been a total success. The shells missed only two invading groups; the shells landed in the invaders’ rear areas. The invaders moved quicker than expected. These two groups were hit by our armor and planes. The other groups succumbed to the gas. We moved in per the plan, disarming the invaders; we took their armor and were using it to guard the prisoner camps. I’m sending you video of the camps and us using their armor to guard the United Nations’ troops. Sir, the plan was a huge risk, but thankfully it worked.”

“John, great job. I’m happy the integrators could get the shells made so quickly. Have the United Nations’ senior officers been removed for questioning?”

“Yes sir, they all woke up confused and in a state of shock. We’ve already started interrogating the senior officers; some are very willing to talk, while others just curse us out for, as they say, us breaching international law on the use of gas. Nothing about them invading us being against international treaties and law. They say they were following legal orders to ensure America followed the laws of the United Nations. I seem to remember the Nuremberg trials ruling about following orders not working out so well for those who used that excuse.”

“John, when did the United Nations become the Earth’s government? I must have missed the memo, maybe the email was accidently erased before it got to me.”

Laughing, John says, “Mr. President, I think the United Nations’ computers must have crashed, I asked for a copy of the email; they couldn’t locate it. I think it’s time to launch phase two of ‘Operation Veiled Sword.'”

“John, you have my permission to launch phase two, make sure our people are safe. I’d hate to have to break them out of international jails. Don’t misunderstand me, I will if any are captured. I will not leave a single person held in some other country’s jail unless they committed a crime in that country. Make sure Major Grover is standing by with his special teams.”

“Yes sir, we plan to use the B2 fleet and fly the missions at night. F22s will fly armed escort for the stealth bombers.”

“Cut the planes lose, let’s see what happens when Puten and the Secretary-General wakes up to the panic.”

@@@@@

American’s twenty B2 stealth bombers and fifty rebuilt F117 stealth fighters, are armed and made ready for phase two of ‘Operation Veiled Sword.' The planes are escorted by F 22 fighters with F15s flying backup. The US Navy has 100 Tomahawk missiles reconfigured for phase two missions as backups in case any of the B2s or F177s miss their targets. At 9:00 PM the launch order is given. The planes fly in their stealthiest modes. Their systems can plot the air defense radar footpaths and coverage maps, enabling the planes to fly through the holes in the air defense coverage. When the planes are over their targets, their bomb bay doors open, millions of leaflets are dropped over Moscow, St. Petersburg, London, Paris, Berlin, Hamburg, Havana, Sao Paulo, Lima, Mexico City, Cairo, Tehran, Bogota, Baghdad, Rio de Janeiro, Santiago, Riyadh, Giza, Jeddah, Kabul, Madrid,
Novosibirsk
, New York City, Boston,  Chicago, Indianapolis, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Dayton, Cleveland, Newark, and Baltimore. The leaflets float to the ground. Mixed in with the leaflets are small packages that are sirens and loudspeakers screaming alert tones and messages in the local language telling the population to read the leaflets. Millions are awakened by the sirens and floating down loudspeakers telling them to go outside and read the leaflets.

The leaflets tell the readers they are the targets of America’s nuclear arsenal. America has begun rearming their strategic missiles with multiple warheads. America has 9,000 available nuclear warheads to enact revenge if required. The leaflets show images of the horribly burned and maimed children from the Minot explosion. The leaflets inform the world’s people if the United Nations' war against America isn’t stopped; their cities will be reduced to radioactive ash. They and their children will suffer more than any people have suffered in the history of the world. Each city is targeted with multiple warheads. America promises their homes will be destroyed. Their farmland and clean water supplies made radioactive and unusable. They will be killed by blast, heat, radiation, starvation or thirst. If the American citizens are going to be held hostage or killed by the United Nations, then America will do the same to the world’s people. The United Nations doesn’t represent peace. The leaflets tell the world’s people the United Nations is waging war against America, who is always the first country to respond to any disaster anywhere in the world. Americans are the most compassion-filled people in the world. These compassionate people are being attacked and killed by the United Nations. America stands for peace. However, if pushed, America will use its complete arsenal to ensure the world feels the same level of pain and suffering as the American population. There won’t be anyone anywhere to provide assistance to anyone in the world. The American people have had enough. America has provided trillions of dollars in foreign aid to the world’s needy. America has supplied food and water to the hungry and thirsty. America is saying enough is enough.
