The Secret Weapon Raymond Daley Copyright 09/01/12 by Raymond Daley Smashwords Edition The war had raged on for too long. Both sides had almost exhausted their ranks and supplies. Somewhere away from the centre of the conflict lay an underground bunker where the top brass had assembled. "We must come up with a solution to end this stalemate! The war has gone on too long" said the Commander In Chief. "A massive strike from all our remaining ships and submarines!" said the First Sea Lord, head of all the Navies. "A massive strike from all our tanks, troops and helicopters!" said the head of the Army. "A massive strike from all our aircraft!" said the Marshall Of the Air Force. The Commander In Chief shook his head. He could not allow more losses. A whispered voice suggested a massive nuclear first strike. The look this whisperer received would have been the perfect weapon if the Commander In Chief had been able to weaponize it. "There is ANOTHER way" a female voice said. All eyes turned in the direction of the speaker. The Commander In Chief insisted she make herself known. "Mrs. Mary Jones, head of the ML. Our forces have been held in reserve for just such an occasion sir. We are ready and our numbers exceed one million. We are the ultimate force, the enemy will crumble before our might" she said, passing him her credentials. "ML, eh?" said the Commander In Chief? "Has it really come down to that?" "I'm afraid so sir, we just can't afford any more losses to the military. The ML is all we have left" said Mrs. Jones. So it came to pass that the Commander In Chief authorised the ML to be utilised. The enemy surrendered instantly, stunned at the sheer audacity of the usage of the ML. Deep in the bunker Mrs. Mary Jones shook the hand of the Commander In Chief. "Another success for the Mothers League!" she smiled. "They never knew what hit them" laughed the Commander In Chief. THE END. ________________________________________________________________Authors Notes:- This story actually started out in a completely different way with a completely different secret weapon. It wasn't until I reached the bit where Mrs. Jones says who she represents that I changed my mind. I may still write the other story about the other secret weapon, its just as funny.
