Chapter Eighty-Nine: Greeting the President
The flying aircraft carrier slowly sailed, approaching the preset position of ambushing the Zetarians.
This is a barren land in southeastern California, spanning the Mojave Desert in Nevada, Arizona, and Utah.
This wilderness desert is a rare and sparsely populated area in the United States, where war is waged without fear of accidentally injuring civilians and causing property damage.
Luo Feng did not advocate setting the ambush position on the mainland of any country, and his original plan was to find a small uninhabited island in the center of the Pacific Ocean and bury all the Zetarians on that island.
This was to prevent the remnants of Zitari from breaking through the encirclement network and breaking into human settlements to shoot indiscriminately and cause unnecessary losses.
Opening a wormhole in the center of the Pacific Ocean, even if the Zetarians break through the first ground air defense blockade, there are countless frigates and destroyers waiting for them in the vast ocean, ensuring that these remnants cannot reach any land.
However, after receiving a briefing from the Minister of Defense, the president of the United States who had an ear of corn on his head had other thoughts. His Excellency insisted that the site of the alien invasion be located on the United States mainland, and even asked him to appear at the scene of the battle to give a speech.
Luo Feng immediately knew that the United States was now divided internally, ethnic antagonism, left and right factions were contending, policies were gradually tilted towards isolationism and the supremacy of the United States, international prestige had fallen sharply, and the status of world leader was in jeopardy.
Setting the front line against aliens in the United States itself, on the one hand, can unite the internal people with the help of external pressure, and on the other hand, it can enhance the international image, at least pretending to be the most responsible power on the earth.
Since the president took office, the wall has not been built, nothing has been accomplished, and the poll approval rating has fallen frequently, and he also wants to take this opportunity to whitewash himself as Roosevelt who is on the verge of death, and use the aura of the war president to disguise himself as the leader of this alien war rather than a participant.
Similar to him back then, George W. Bush was also scolded by the media as a fool, despised and despised by the people, and saw that he could not be re-elected, but he briefly deceived voters by launching the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and survived his second term.
The United States has such a demand, so it is natural to try its best to develop diplomatic skills and find ways to achieve its goals.
After sending a special envoy to consult with the other four countries of the five permanent members of the United Nations, and promising many practical benefits, the United States won the false name of the alien landing country and the country that initiated the war operation.
Only Huaxia can wrestle with the United States, but the Chinese people have never liked to be the first bird, and they know the truth of making a fortune in a muffled voice.
Of course, it was Director Luo who ultimately decided where the aliens would come, and for this reason, the White House approved a large amount of public relations funds, which were deposited into a secret personal account opened by Director Luo in a Swiss bank......
Luo Feng really doesn't want to take this money, he has too much money in his director's hospitality account to spend it, and he doesn't plan to retire in the Marvel Universe, no matter how much dollars he has, it's just a number to him.
But the thing of collecting black money is also to reassure the person who sent the money, otherwise it is difficult for him to integrate into the officialdom of the United States if he is a Chinese person, putting on a face that is not stained by the mud, and if he can't be in harmony with the bureaucrats of the United States, it is difficult for S.H.I.E.L.D., which is headquartered in New York and has most of the employees of the United States, to open up the situation and carry out its work smoothly.
Collecting black money is also to better protect the earth, Luo Feng can only smile bitterly.
The establishment of ambush positions in the Mojave Desert was determined after careful screening by the Pentagon.
There are four advantages here:
First, it is sparsely populated, and it is easy to evacuate people, because there is Las Vegas City, and the transportation is quite convenient, which is conducive to the mobilization of troops.
Second, this place is located in California, one of the richest and most prosperous states in the United States, and the alien invasion of this place can enhance the tension of the people of the United States, stimulate the people to have a sense of crisis, and the popularity of the people obtained by the President of the bed breaking under the command of the Earth Alliance to repel the aliens will also be greater, which has political symbolism and is conducive to propaganda.
Third, not far from here is the Edwards Air Force Base in the United States, where the most advanced model of the black technology experimental fighter is deployed, which can be tested in the air combat against aliens.
Fourth, there is a large-scale solar power station here, which can provide energy support for the black technology weapons deployed by the Mi army.
The United States intends to use several black technology weapons that are still being tested to deal with aliens, namely: Metal Storm Weapon System, Electromagnetic Cannon Air Defense System, High-power Laser Air Defense System, Hive Attack Drone Formation, Strong Pulse Energy Weapon System, and the strong sonic cannon and gamma-ray missiles that have been used to deal with the Hulk.
This time, the United States has made up its mind, shining a light on the people of the world, and making the joke that "the rice army established by smashing so much military spending is to fight aliens" become a reality, and it will show the prestige of the world's police.
The Mi army has already entered the preset position, and has completed the deployment of a black technology air defense system on the position in advance, and the armies of other countries have also mobilized the most elite ace army in China here under the pretext of joint military exercises, and all kinds of secret weapons at the bottom of the box have been taken out and unveiled without money.
The most eye-catching thing in the Chinese army is the Iron Overlord Battalion, the Iron Overlord mecha equipped with all kinds of heavy firepower is majestic, lined up in a neat phalanx, and it looks really full of courage from a distance, like the Iron Legion of the Great Qin Empire.
In order not to be excluded from world affairs, Dongying also took advantage of the signing of a mutual defense agreement with the United States to spend a huge amount of money to buy a qualification, but only the logistics support troops and medical troops were sent.
This group of Dongying people looked at the Iron Overlord Legion of the Huaxia people with blank eyes, and their eyes were straight, and a major general of the Self-Defense Forces couldn't help but exclaim: The Huaxia people actually have Gundam! What are the roboticists in our country doing, the technology tree is crooked, hey, just know how to develop some cute girl robots!
……
Luo Feng came to the deck of the flying aircraft carrier, he came to greet several big shots.
The No. 1 helicopter of the US Navy with the bald eagle emblem flew over the aircraft carrier, slowly descended, the hatch opened, the gangway fell, and the president walked out, followed by the five members of the World Security Council and the defense minister and interior minister of the United States.
Luo Feng stepped forward, saluted His Excellency the President, and stretched out his hand: "Your Excellency, welcome to inspect the battlefield. Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your trust in me, and please come with me to the bridge of the aircraft carrier to observe this alien resistance war. ”
