Chapter 1058: The situation has changed slightly

After a night of crazy riots, the capital of country A finally ushered in the dawn, the red sun shone on the land, exposing the mess after the madness, after emergency repairs, the power was finally restored, the president made a speech through television for the first time, put all the responsibility on the Soma country, and called on everyone to refrain and calm down, not to fall into the hands of the Soma country, unite and confront each other.

The president of country A knows very well that putting the blame on Soma is his only way out, otherwise he will be impeached and thrown into the wilderness, and Soma is the only most acceptable suspect by everyone.

When the angry people of country A heard that Soma did it, they were completely angry and asked the president to be tough and attack Soma country, as for the reason behind the matter, everyone was too lazy to care, and many well-known people even jumped out and pointed out that the government was not tough enough, and the media also loudly called on the people to vigorously support the president to take military action and avenge the victims, of course, all this is the result manipulated by the president behind his back.

In any case, the people of country A stood up in support of the government's use of troops, and major cities even held marches, shouting slogans such as blood debt and revenge.

At about nine o'clock in the morning, the president summoned several high-ranking dignitaries to his office for a meeting to subordinate the attack on Soma State, although country A had sent a large number of troops to assemble on the sea and was ready for the attack, but it was not enough, and it still needed a certain amount of time to prepare.

Looking at the subordinates who came in a hurry, their eyes were red, obviously they didn't sleep well, and the fire in their hearts was even stronger, and they couldn't wait to launch a general attack on Soma immediately, suddenly, the president found that something was wrong, and after a closer look, there was one person missing, and he couldn't help but ask the assistant next to him in surprise: "Why hasn't Commander Mike arrived?" ”

"Report to the president, Commander Mike can't be contacted." The assistant hurriedly said.

"Report to the president, I just received news that Commander-in-Chief Mike was assassinated last night, and after rescue efforts failed, he has died." The director of intelligence hurriedly said that the matter has been concealed until now, and it is his fault not to say it again.

"Huh?" The president was stunned for a moment, then his face turned pale, and he looked at everyone coldly, and it took a while to calm down, and said: "Your Excellency Mike was accidentally killed, who should be the commander-in-chief?" ”

"Your Excellency the President, please allow me to be the commander-in-chief, and I promise to take Soma within a month." The Minister of Defense snatched it out and said, his face excited, his eyes bursting with fanatical fighting intent.

As long as the Soma State is defeated, it is possible to win the public opinion, and it is no problem to be elected as the next president. No one wants to miss the question of Somalia.

The Minister of Defense recommended himself, and naturally he also had the intention of running for the next president, but it was more about gaining more fame, fortune and power, and that was the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, and there were only one or two countries in history, each of which was written into the annals of world military history, what a glory it was.

Most of the people present were people from the civilian bureaucratic system, and they were not qualified to be elected to the post of commander-in-chief, and everyone looked at the representative of another officer system, the chief of the general staff of the four armed forces, and in addition to the navy, land and air force, country A also has a network army of nearly 20,000 people.

The chief of the general staff glanced at the Minister of Defense, of course he would not give up such a good opportunity, fighting a war, of course, it is a matter of the army, after the president nodded, the chief of the general staff of the four armed forces had the final say, and the chief of the general staff of the four armed forces said unhurriedly, "Your Excellency, I suggest that Mr. Arthur, secretary of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, serve as Mr. Arthur, Mr. Arthur once served as the commander-in-chief of the contract country, has experience in commanding coalition forces, and is one of the five-star generals in our country, and his qualifications, experience and ability are enough." ”

Of course, the chief of the general staff of the Fourth Army still has a word to say, that is, Arthur is his relative, and the cooperation will be very close, and it is not necessary to change someone.

The Minister of Defense was stunned for a moment, then became discouraged, reluctantly took a half step back, and looked at the president, of course the president really wanted to be the Minister of Defense, after all, he was his own confidant, but first, there were too many things in the Ministry of Defense, and it was not good to be distracted, and second, the chief of the general staff of the four armed forces had spoken, and he had to pay attention to it, otherwise it would cause extraneous complications.

Country A is not like Huaxia, the president changes once every few years, and it is difficult to establish absolute prestige, and it is not comparable to the chief of the general staff of the four armed forces, who has been mixed in the military system for a long time.

After weighing it up, the president felt that the proposal of the chief of staff of the four armed forces was still somewhat reasonable, although the Minister of Defense was also a general, his rank was enough, and his prestige in the army was not low, but he had no experience in commanding the coalition forces, and the Ministry of Defense had a lot of things, so he couldn't get away, so he said: "What else do you have to propose?" ”

As soon as everyone heard this, they knew that the president had actually acquiesced to the nomination, and anyway, it had nothing to do with him, and he could not offend the chief of the general staff of the four armed forces, so he agreed, and the defense minister knew that the general trend was gone, and he also agreed.

In this way, the position of commander-in-chief of the coalition forces was handed over to General Arthur, and the president immediately ordered his assistant to sign it himself, and since the commander-in-chief was re-selected, the specific offensive plan could only be discussed at a later date, and the date of the attack on Soma had to be delayed.

Office of the President of the Presidency of the State of Great Britain.

The president glanced at his confidant intelligence chief and asked slowly, "Is there anything wrong with coming early in the morning?" ”

The director of intelligence hurriedly told what happened in country A, and the president who listened to it was dumbfounded, and he couldn't react for a long time, this thing was too incredible, too unbelievable, and after listening to it for a while, the president asked in surprise: "Is this true?" ”

"Absolutely." The Chief of Intelligence affirmed.

The president actually knew that it was true at this time, that it was impossible for the intelligence chief to mess with him in this kind of matter, and that Britain and country A were close comrades-in-arms, and most of the information was shared, so it was impossible to expect himself, but it was too incredible.

After receiving the intelligence chief's affirmative reply, the president couldn't help but ponder, and after a while, he said: "This matter is very complicated, and you should do two things at once, first, to correctly guide public opinion and maintain the same tone with country A, second, to notify the troops not to move for the time being, and third, to notify the General Staff, the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Secretary of State to come over for a meeting, and the meeting will start on time in an hour." ”

After the director of intelligence left, the president dialed the special line of the president of country A, carefully learned the truth about what happened in country A and the contingency plan of the president of country A, and the two chatted for half an hour before hanging up the phone.

Half an hour later, the President arrived in Room No. 1, where the representatives of the General Staff, the Department of Defense, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Secretary of State were already seated.

Everyone had already received the news, and after hearing the report of the intelligence director, they were still shocked, no one would have thought that such a thing would happen in Congress A, and the secretary of state immediately rushed to say: "Your Excellency, country A's intelligence ability is very strong, why the enemy comes in, I don't know, if it is us, can we find the enemy mixed in in advance, and plan in advance to deal with it?" ”

There is a implication of this question: Even country A cannot prevent the entry of terrorists, nor can it prevent and arrest the actions of terrorists, and our ability in this regard is not stronger than that of country A? If it happened in our own country, could we stop it?

Everyone is not stupid, naturally understands what is here, everyone looked at the president, the president glanced at the intelligence director, this is under the control of the intelligence bureau, the intelligence director is not easy to answer, saying that he can, he will offend country A, and he will leave a proud and arrogant image, saying that he can't, and he seems to be incompetent.

"In my opinion, no matter what, we can't take this risk, country A's economy is strong enough to cope with all crises, our country's economy is a little lagging behind, especially the unemployment rate is low, the people's resentment is too great, one is not good, and there will be bigger troubles." The foreign minister said in a round.

During this period of time, a large number of young people in Britain have taken to the streets to demonstrate, demanding that the government solve the problem of difficult employment.

"I don't approve of this proposal." The chief of the General Staff said that as a soldier, the chief of the General Staff knows very well what it means to join the coalition forces for the troops, and if they do not participate in the war, the army will be useless, and everyone will have no military merits, and they will not be able to be promoted, and they will not be able to make a name for themselves, so they will naturally jump out to oppose it.

"Oh? What is the opinion of the Chief of the General Staff? The president hurriedly asked. The military system of Britain is similar to that of country A, and the president does not dare to offend the military easily.

"In my opinion, this is a great opportunity to divert domestic social contradictions, and as soon as the war breaks out, all industries will usher in great demand and opportunities for great development, which will be of great benefit to stabilizing domestic economic development." The Chief of the General Staff did not analyze it from the point of view of the military, but from the point of view of the economy.

One side is the interests of the army, the other side is his own black yarn hat, offended the army, he did not have much loss, anyway, he abdicated after two years, but once the same thing develops in his own country, the president knows very well that his position must be moved in advance, how shrewd the president is, he immediately thought of this powerful relationship, weighed it for a while, really did not dare to fight, hesitated.

Seeing this, the intelligence chief came to the round: "I myself am very much in favor of joining the coalition forces and showing the world our country's strength, but how can we ensure that the enemy does not mix in?" Who can guarantee that the affairs of country A will not be played out in our country? We would also like to ask for your attention. ”

Everyone is a human being, and as soon as they heard it, they knew that the intelligence chief was strongly supporting the president not to send troops to participate in the coalition forces, lest the disaster of country A break out in his own country, and the last shot was out of control, and no one wanted to offend the intelligence director easily, and they all looked at the president and did not express their position easily.

After the president pondered for a while, he didn't dare to express his position easily, even country A could not avoid serious *** in the capital, not to mention the economic losses, the political impact was too bad, if the same thing played out in Britain, the president believed that the day of his resignation would be over.

Weigh and weigh, and before you know it, your heart will start to tilt in a certain direction.
