The Director sent plane after plane overseas capturing images with the new Leon Defense Agency's SR-81, a spy plane running on ramjet powered engines.
Every mission was ordered by the Director, and overseen by the new military commander, Bingham. He was a soldier who'd served under the Ghost and shown great promise, and the Ghost gave him the job.
"Seems like their rocket is almost ready sir."
"Seems that way, I suggest we monitor that, along with the developing situation in the Middle East. Seems the NWNO has their sights sent of repeating the past."
"Understood Director."
The days had begun to blur together as the NWNO was operating on two fronts, reaching space and invading the Middle East. From what photos had been brought back, neither seemed to be going in their favor. Since the war, they claimed to be a superpower, but could barely support the countries that had, meanwhile the NAE owned a hemisphere and hand no trouble improving and governing their country.
"Sir, confirmed launch of the NWNO rocket, but just about 30 feet off the ground it exploded."
"Good for us, bad for them, get me a secure line with NASA and President Ghost."
After about an hour, President Ghost green light a space mission to up satellites into space, after he gave a televised speech.
"America! Today I am proud to announce that on this day, I revoke the JFK era policy stating space isn't anyone's to conquer, America will have a moon base this decade, and by then of it, a lunar colony!"
With that, the NWNO ramped up production of its rockets, but try as they might, they failed. A day later, 4 satellites were put into orbit, allowing communication improvement, radar access worldwide for the NAE, and communication to the moon.
However, this pissed of the NWNO, and they made their move.
"DIRECTOR! NWNO just launched an attack upon the NJT!"
"I'll inform the President, Bingham, scramble fighters ready to assist our allies."
Everything was going to hell, the Director, finally gave the order for the spy ring to infiltrate the NWNO and begin Operation Binder of Fire. As if it wasn't enough, he ordered them to tag high level documents and take them no matter the risk. The facts were on the table, The New American Empire, was decades and strides ahead of the New World Nazi Order.
The NWNO fell from grace when they attacked America, and fell even further during the war. As if it was predicted, they'd lost over and over again, but the fact they'd managed to survive this long, was nothing to scoff at.
