Uganda, Uganda, U.S. military camp on the shores of Lake Albert, inside an underground cave.

More than ten xenon lamps illuminated the entire cave, and a gray-haired scientist held a blue and transparent gem like crystal, his eyes showed a look of intoxication, and muttered: "I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect that in my lifetime, I would be able to see the third star stone born." ”

At this time, another middle-aged man came to the old scientist with an alloy lockbox and whispered, "Dr. Austin, we can't delay any longer." ”

Austin looked at it carefully for a few more moments, and then reluctantly put the star stone into the lockbox, which closed.

After the lockbox is closed, it can only be reopened by the fingerprint iris verified by the person in charge of the Starstone project at Los Alamos National Laboratory and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in the United States, and two people need to enter different passwords at the same time to reopen it, otherwise, any wrong opening method will cause the lockbox to explode.

At this time, the atmosphere of imminent battle on the ground was already very strong.

"Quick, quick, the men of Platoon A get off the plane quickly, Philip, what are you doing stupidly?!" Second Lieutenant Steven shouted as he stood at the open hatch of the CH47 Chinook helicopter, and the wind from the twin rotors of the column made his shirt grin.

The camp is brightly lit, and dozens of armed helicopters and transport helicopters of various types are taking off and landing in an orderly manner in the night.

"G-Company Collection! G-Company Collection!"

"F Company immediately went to Area 023 to deploy defenses, and F Company immediately went to Area 023 to deploy defenses. ”

"Attention units, attention to all units, immediately enter the battle position, immediately enter the battle position!"

In the French camp not far away, the troops are also vigorously fighting, and in the past few days, reinforcements have arrived one after another, and the number of French troops in this area has reached more than 700 people in two battalions, and the strength has surpassed that of the American Marines on the shores of Lake Albert.

In the sky, the French Air Force's "Mirage" 2000 and "Rafale" M carrier-based fighters are also entangled with the US military's F-18E/F "Super Hornet" fighters.

……

Inside the amphibious command ship "Sagar".

A Navy Lieutenant Commander was beside Vice Admiral Fox, commander of the US Fifth Fleet, whispered a report on the current situation: "Sir, the escort fleet of the Chinese and Russian navies has converged and is now cruising 600 nautical miles away in our formation. Not long ago, the anti-submarine squadron discovered traces of a nuclear submarine of unknown nationality at a distance of 100 nautical miles from the fleet, and there is no information on this submarine in the Navy's submarine characteristic voiceprint library. The opponent is very cunning, and after discovering our tracking, it quickly disappeared, and at the moment the anti-submarine squadron is intensifying the tracking. According to the latest report just sent by the Pentagon, the Russian "Kuznetsov" aircraft carrier battle group has entered the Gulf of Guinea, and some intelligence personnel have even found the shadow of Sukhoi fighters in the Dakar air base in France, and the French Ministry of Defense said that the French Navy will participate in the joint anti-piracy exercise organized by the Chinese and Russian navies, and at present, the two frigates of the French in the Gulf of Aden are moving closer to the joint escort group of the Chinese and Russian navies. In addition, recent satellite photographs show that the 2nd Infantry Regiment of the French Foreign Legion is approaching the Ugandan border from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and that their paratroop unit on the shores of Lake Albert has increased to a battalion. ”

Lieutenant General Fox smoked a cigar and his eyebrows were furrowed, the current situation was very obvious, the French had begun to unite with China and Russia, and the strength of the three parties was not under the two-aircraft carrier battle group of the US army, and the French even had a slight advantage in terms of the army.

The White House has issued a strict order that the US military must not fire the first shot unless the French army fires.

The USS Stennis aircraft carrier battle group, which is rushing to support the US Pacific Fleet, passed through the Bass Strait yesterday, but it will take at least a week or more to reach the western Indian Ocean.

………………

In the United States, the White House, CIA Director Leon Panetta hurriedly entered the office of President Okunhai and placed a document in front of Oguanhai: "Mr. President, this is the target information of Prism Jihua No. 4. ”

Ao Guanhai put on his glasses and looked at them for more than ten minutes before he looked up at Leon Panetta, squinted his eyes and said, "Leon, once this thing is released, the consequences will be beyond our control." ”

Leon Panetta whispered: "Mr. President, as long as the star stone is in hand, then next year's election ......"

Ao Guanhai was silent for a long time, nodded, and signed his name at the end of the document.

Half an hour later, the Elysée Palace, France.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy had just finished a state security meeting with the Minister of Defense, the heads of the intelligence services, and the commanders-in-chief of the major services, and was having dinner when a confidential secretary of the Élysée Palace hurriedly entered the dining room and said: "Mr. President, the US ambassador asks to see you." ”

Sarkozy frowned, although the United States and France have been tense in Africa these days, the private diplomatic interaction between the two sides is also very frequent.

The French side once asked to share the right to use the Xingshi computer with the United States, which could be set up in France's colony in the Caribbean near the US mainland, but the United States refused, and Sarkozy had to seek cooperation with China and Russia.

Sarkozy interrupted dinner to meet Jacob Benson, the U.S. ambassador to France, in the reception room of the Élysée Palace.

After holding a private meeting at the request of the other party and dismissing everyone, Sarkozy said: "Mr. Ambassador, there should be nothing for us and you to discuss, right?"

Jacob Benson smiled mysteriously and said, "Mr. President, let's wait until you read this document first, and then we will talk about other matters!"

Sarkozy frowned, opened the file, and soon, his face changed, he slammed the file on the table, looked up and said angrily: "What do you mean by this?!"

Jacob Benson said: "It's not interesting, it's just an exchange of interests, we get the star stones, and we also guarantee that Mr. President will be safe and secure during this term." ”

Sarkozy glared at each other and didn't say a word.

Jacob Benson smiled and upped his stakes: "Also, your biggest rival in next year's presidential election, Mr. Strauss Kahn, is currently residing at the Sofitel near Manhattan Press Plaza, if ...... What I'm saying is that if Mr. Kahn withdraws from the presidential election because of some unforeseen circumstances, I'm sure you'd be more than happy to see that. ”

Strauss Kahn is a French economist, lawyer, politician, member of the Socialist Party, a French social democratic party, currently serving as managing director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and the favorite to be the president of France in 2012.

Sarkozy opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.

That night, the French camp on the shores of Lake Albert fell silent, and French Air Force fighters disappeared over the camp for the first time.

At two o'clock in the morning, a US Marine Corps MV22 "Osprey" tiltrotor secretly took off from the camp and flew to the US military base in Mombasa, Kenya.

The next day, May 14, 2011, the New York City Police Department's chief press secretary, Paul Brown, confirmed to the media that International Monetary Fund (IMF) Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn was being detained and questioned by the New York City Police Department on suspicion of sexually assaulting a hotel attendant. No formal charges have been filed against him.

According to information revealed by the New York police, Strauss-Kahn stayed at the Sofitel Hotel near Manhattan's newspaper square on Saturday. A 32-year-old female waitress at the hotel told police that when she entered Strauss Kahn's room at about 1 p.m. on Saturday, Kahn came out of the bathroom naked and tried to sexually assault her. The waitress then fled the room and called the police.

In the early morning of the 15th, the New York City Police announced that International Monetary Fund Managing Director Dominique Strauss Kahn was formally indicted for "sexual assault and attempted rape" against a local hotel waitress. New York Police Department spokesman Brownie said Strauss Kahn did not have diplomatic immunity, but did not explain why.

On the 16th, Strauss Kahn, the managing director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), appeared in court for the first time on sexual assault allegations, and his bail request was denied.

………………

"How did the French just stop fighting? It's funny, it's funny. ”

General Staff.

Chang Siwei was pacing back and forth in the office, and Peng Guochen was standing in front of him.

On Chang Siwei's desk is a copy of the Global Times, with the headline: "International Monetary Fund (IMF) Managing Director Strauss Kahn Detained by NYPD on Alleged Sex Scandal"
