I think that's Pittsburgh, Zen said.

They were eager to hit us there, to cut down on our industrial production potential. They got Gary, Indiana, and South Chicago, for the same reason. In spite of everything we could do to stop it, they eventually got through to our major production centers. If we hadn't foreseen the possibility of this happening, and had not spread our industry across the country, breaking it up into small parts, they would have crippled us so badly before the war even started that we would not have lasted long. However, even with our production spread, when they hit the sources of our raw materials, they hurt us--bad. Our stock piles gave out after a couple of years. Since then we've been scavenging for metal wherever we can find it.

Yes. I know,

Of course, while they were hurting us, we weren't exactly helping them, Zen said.

We had a few guided missiles ready in their launching racks ourselves. We weren't exactly defenseless.

I agree with you there, West said.

Would you like to see some of our results.

Hell, yes, Zen blurted out, surprised.

Our photo ships have never gotten really good pics. Have to fly too high for that. Oh, we have turned loose a flood of pics that purported to show how we had bombed hell out of the enemy, but these were all re-touched, to boost public morale. But--how does this radar work? Do you mean to tell me you can actually see what is going on inside the country of the enemy?
