            Part 3( Final Act)

            Many of the top Brass with in the Babylonian military were not pleased to see that war between Egypt and Babylon seemed to be adverted. They wanted to see Egypt conquered and under the control of the nation of Babylon. The Joint Chiefs also changed their original position and recommended a preemptive strike against Egypt. In their eyes they believed that Egypt would try and spread its influence to other parts of the world and once again in the near future pose a threat to Babylon again.

            Thus after the Joint Chiefs changed their position the Minister of Defense came to see the President. "Mr. President I realize that current tensions with Egypt have cooled for the moment, but there are many things that have concerned me and the Joint Chiefs that have happened in the last month. We suspect that the assignation and latter military coo that occurred in France was the doing of Egypt. We also believe that what Egypt is doing now is waiting for a better time to attack us, when they have the influence and military force that they need to launch a successful attack on the nation of Babylon. I and the Joint Chiefs has changed our position, we recommend a full scale strike at Egypt with the goal of replacing the current government or were we take Egypt over. Mr. President you know as well as I do that Egypt will always be threat to the security and even existence of Babylon. We must attack them before they have a chance to do the same to us or one of our allies."

            The President was completely socked my what the Minister of Defense said. "Are you crazy?????!!!! If we attacked Egypt it would be the most devastating thing we could do. They would surely launch their nuclear weapons. Not only that we would lose all international support that we have in our fight with the Egyptians. No, this plan is suicide for us and the rest of the world."

            The Minister of Defense was angry and stormed out of the President Office. He never thought that he would be suck a weakling, and started to think of a plan to start a war with Egypt.

            The idea came to him, he would set off give a nuclear device to one of the many groups Egypt supported who also hated the nation of Babylon. And allow them to enter the country and set it off in one of Babylon's cities. So he went about to set the plan in motion and get support form the military for his plan.

            The first part of the plan was a success. They were able to give a nuclear bomb to the group Liberators of the People. They had thought that Egypt had given them the device, when in fact it was the Babylonian Military that had done it. They were able to sneak it into the nation of Babylon since the military made sure they would be able to make into the country with the device. They put the bomb inside of a car they rented in the City of Babylon. Two men had come with the bomb and were driving the car. They planed to drive the car to downtown Babylon and set it off. Little they knew, but the center that controlled the missile defense system of Babylon was located in the city as well.

            As they drove the car to there target, the men were very nervous and ran a stoplight. A police car came after them and tried to make them stop the car. They did not know what to do and started to run. As they were speeding on the streets with at least 10 police cars following them, they decided to go to the Downtown area and tell the world on international television who they were and then set off the bomb they had in the trunk of their car.

            They reached the Downtown area in 15 min after that. They had a cell phone and told the police all they wanted to do was make a sort statement to the media and then they would give themselves up. The most famous news announcer Bob Robertson came with his crew to take the statement, since his office and studio was one block away form were the men were. He rushed right to the area when he heard about it and the police asked him if he could take their statement and explained their deal they had made with the men, and he agreed.

            Bob came to the men with a white flag and said, "We are the news crew you wanted so that you could make your statement to the world."

            The man who was driving the car got out and came to them and took the microphone form Bob. "We are part of the group Liberators of the People. You now all see the might city of Babylon fall before your very eyes."

            Then the second man who was still in the car set off the bomb they had in the car. They entire city of Babylon was destroyed in the seconds that followed. Everyone knew that Liberators of the People has a group that Egypt supported and assumed that they had gotten the nuclear device form Egypt. The Egyptian Ambassador to the United Nations tried to tell everyone that the nuclear device that Liberators of the People set off in Babylon was not form them and they would never do something like that. However, no one listen. Babylon of course responded with a full nuclear strike against Egypt and France. Since the missile defense control center was destroyed in the blast, the missile defense system was down, but the President and his top military advisors all assumed that it was still operational. France and Egypt launch their weapons as well. The resulting explosions killed 60% of the world’s population in one day. After this Both Egypt and Babylon call a truce, but the offerings of peace came way too late, and those who survived that day started to wonder how they would survive in this new world.

                    A good story Jack_www just maybe need to slow down a little when typing installments,lot of spelling errors and words typed twice etc.

                    Great finish especially the fact that the war was over in just one day.Bet the miliatary advisor was gutted if not vapourised in the attack.
