MTL - I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World-Chapter 1463 emergency meeting

"I propose to send more troops to Colombia! Also mobilize our allies, especially the parasites that are in arrears with NATO military spending!"

“The method is good, but it is very difficult to implement. The UK has sent two divisions to support us. France has also sent a division. We cannot expect them to invest more troops in South America that are not within their interests...”

"What about Turkey? If we promise to help them enter the EU..."

"Then we will offend at least twenty allies!"

"..."

The room was arguing, and Mike Burns stared at the globe at the corner of the table without thinking.

The problems facing the United States are more serious than imagined.

Although the defense budget has been increasing, the number of soldiers has been decreasing.

Since the end of the Iraq war and the end of the Afghan war, the total number of US Army soldiers has dropped from 570,000 at the peak of 2012 to the current 480,000 (2020). At present, the number of active soldiers in the US Air Force is about 300,000, the Navy is about 320,000, and the Marine Corps is still 180,000. Of course, it is better to mobilize the National Guards of the states and mobilize those guys to participate in the foreign war.

In the asymmetrical war, for the sea power countries, this amount of standing is actually enough. However, unfortunately, in the face of the technical strength of the Star Trade, they are now on the wrong side. Fortunately, the last session of Hillary Clinton stopped the disarmament plan of Alabama, otherwise the situation will only be worse...

"You," knocked the table with the knuckles, indicating that everyone stopped quarreling and looked at themselves. National security adviser John McCain raised the volume and said, "There are already 130,000 Americans who are free for Colombia. According to the Pentagon analysis, if we want to gain an 'overwhelming' advantage in Colombia, then at least we need to invest in a group army in South America. Volunteers in Moro and Madagascar are on the road, those third world hooligans Drag us into the quagmire."

Speaking of this, McCain paused for a moment and continued.

"You have neglected the most effective method."

“The star trade is strong enough, but their strategy is limited! Whether it is a space elevator or a high-tech factory in the new country. Instead of throwing hundreds of thousands of people into the bottomless pit of Colombia, it is better to send our aircraft carrier to the Western Pacific. Group! Launch our intercontinental missiles! Even if their air defense system is excellent, it can't make up for the difference in quantity!"

"We fired four hundred Tomahawk cruise missiles into the space elevator and launched a strategic nuclear strike against the industrial base in Angka. Even if they can arm every soldier to the teeth, we can let them return to the Stone Age!"

"You are crazy!" another consultant sitting next to him exclaimed, "It is not just us who master nuclear weapons! If they launch a retaliatory strike against our homeland..."

"But our income is huge!" McCain said firmly. "Looking forward, as long as they absorb their technology and rely on the industrial strength of us and our allies, we will be able to colonize Gliese 581 in a few decades! Instead of fighting at home and aliens. war!"

As for the bombing of the space elevator, as long as the technology is in hand, it will not be possible to recreate one. After the new space elevator has been built, it will be the moon of the star trade, the Martian colony, and the future of humanity will be the United States, not the new country or the star trade!

"This is too risky."

Mike Burns frowned, but his heart was secretly pondering.

The submarine missile well of the Star Ring trade had been heard a long time ago, but Hillary Clinton had done a good job before he left office, that is, the introduction of the Sade air defense system into military bases such as Guam and Wake Island. If the new country launches intercontinental missiles from the western Pacific, there is a high probability that they will be able to intercept during the ascending phase of the missile...

But in case you can't stop...

Just as Mike Burns hesitated, a phone call came over.

McCain also wanted to persuade something, but when the president picked up the phone, he closed his mouth politely.

The hand holding the phone was slightly white, and the expression on Mike Burns’s face was cloudy.

After putting down the phone, his hand has been resting on the phone and has not been removed. He has been sitting there for a long time.

After a long time, he looked up and said.

"Lewis."

Lewis, the president's chief of staff, bowed slightly and replied.

"……Mr President?"

"You are going to inform the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense, the Minister of Finance... and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the US Army." After nameing about twenty names, Mike Burns paused for a moment and slowly said, "I am here one hour later." An emergency meeting is held and all members of the National Security Council must be present. Now, all of you will go out for a while."

After hearing this sentence, the expressions on the faces of senior White House officials such as Lewis and McCain were all moving and facing each other.

The expressions on everyone's faces are different, just like their complex mood at the moment. Lewis looked at the president in disbelief, and McCain's face showed a ecstasy, but was quickly hidden behind a series of small moves.

Members of the National Security Council were established during the Cold War and were chaired by the President as National Security Council. Regular attendees include the Vice President, the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense, the Minister of Finance and the National Security Adviser. As well as the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the US Army as the statutory military adviser to the National Security Council, the statutory intelligence adviser, Director of cia. In addition to this, there are important officials such as the White House Chief of Staff, the US Attorney General, and the US Secretary of Homeland Security. The importance of the discussion at the meeting is determined by the President himself.

From the level of attendees, it is not difficult to see the importance of this level of meetings.

The last time I convened a meeting like this, it was twenty years ago, when the president was named Xiaobu. Shortly after the meeting, the US-led coalition forces went to Afghanistan and started the long-awaited war in Afghanistan...

Taking a deep breath, Lewis nodded.

"I will go here."

At the request of the President, people in the conference room left.

After the meeting room was empty, Pens's shoulders slowly relaxed, not eager to prepare for the next meeting, but took a pen from his arms and looked at it for a long time.

Somehow, he suddenly rang about a month and a half ago when the regime handed over.

As a vice president, he was also at the scene, vaguely remembering the situation at the time.

There has never been a president who, when he has given authority, will be relieved. It is as if she has surrendered the supreme throne of this country. It is not power or benefit, but a heavy burden.

Now he suddenly understood something.

Or some regrets.

She is facing a madman, and now the madman is standing in front of him. Just when he was still hesitating to add a firewood to the stove, the madman had already guided Mars out of the stove...

But now regret is useless, and it seems that he has no choice of power from the beginning. The president died with a vice president. After the vice president, there was also the president of the Senate... From the moment when Wall Street was "unified," the country’s power checks and balances began to become unbalanced, and those capitalists were completely mad.

After a long silence, he picked up the phone and slowly broadcast a number and called a familiar person. He now needs to consult other people's opinions, although he also knows that this big probability is doing nothing.

The phone is connected.

Without extra chills, Burns sorted out his thoughts in his mind and slowly opened his way.

"Twenty minutes ago, in the Caribbean..."
