"Fifty-eight percent of the officers and men requisitioned this time would rather go to court-martials than go to Norfolk Naval Base! There is now a shortage of personnel needed for the salvage plan!" Within a few days, Air Admiral Selva's hair had turned a lot grayer, and every minute since the Norfolk meteorite impact disaster had been extremely tormented.
"And after the news was reported by the media, public opinion unanimously expressed support for their choice, and the public believed that the government had no right to send them to death," added Ashton Carter, who has been under a lot of criticism from the media lately for this reason.
"Ask the World War II veterans on Omaha Beach what they did at that time! Do they think they will land safely under Nazi strafing!" Trump slammed his fist on the table, "Have the soldiers of the United States now lost the courage to dare to sacrifice?" He felt that he was probably the most unlucky president in the history of the United States, and what president would have faced such a dilemma because of a meteorite before?
"We must punish this violation of military orders severely!" Richard Colby realized that this was a very serious question, now these soldiers would refuse to carry out military orders because of nuclear radiation, and next time they would refuse to fight Lucia or China because the enemy was too strong?
"Military court judges should not be disturbed by public opinion, they should maintain judicial independence!" Trump wants to kill these guys who disobey military orders, but he knows that according to the current law and the tendency of judges, it seems difficult to achieve this!
In other words, these soldiers who disobey military orders will be sentenced to imprisonment at most, and the government will have to allocate a sum of money from the already stretched funds to use to imprison them!
"Can't this be done by the machine?" asked Edward Miller, who remembers that the country's underwater machine technology seems to be at the world's leading level.
"Because the radiation in Norfolk Harbor is too strong, and the interference with electromagnetic signals is very strict, we can't use wireless remote control! And how different is it from a diver going into the water by himself if we use wired remote control?" Ashton Carter thought maliciously, a soldier who died of radiation only needs to pay a pension, while a soldier who has been affected by the aftereffects of radiation for a long time needs long-term and high medical expenses, and it is obvious that the former is more cost-effective in terms of cost.
"In addition, the current environment in Haiti is very complicated, and we cannot do the work with machines alone, we can only use them for auxiliary work! The main work must also be done by people!" Admiral Selva reminded in passing, "Those soldiers who have been assigned are not yet in good shape, and if someone is harmed by radiation in the early salvage work, I think they will soon choose to resist this mission like those people!"
"Public opinion is now very unfavorable to us! Because the problem of nuclear radiation has not been solved for a long time, the approval rating of this government has fallen to the lowest point!" "Richard Colby broke another bad news!" "Recently, huge demonstrations have erupted in major cities, mainly protesting against our failure to solve the problem of nuclear radiation and nuclear weapons, and expressing dissatisfaction with our forced order to carry out salvage work under the cover of nuclear radiation!"
"I want to get rid of the radiation, but I don't want to sacrifice human lives! So dear Richard, can you tell me how the protesting people plan to solve this problem?" Trump is speechless to these people, why don't you go to heaven!
"Don't worry about the issue of approval ratings at all! Do you think that the shrewd opposition parties and the opposition will now impeach us? They don't want to come to power at this time and have a headache over this issue!" "The Minister of Finance is now a dead pig and is not afraid of boiling water! He has understood that at this time, no one wants to take over this hot potato, and until the work behind the Norfolk disaster is completed, his position will be as safe as Mount Tai.
"Let's recruit volunteers from all over the country and even from all over the world! There are always people who will take risks for some reason! For domestic volunteers, we can give them tax incentives! As for foreign volunteers, as long as they work underwater for a certain amount of time, we will go through the naturalization procedures for them!"
We promise to naturalize them, provided they survive for the specified time! This group of upright politicians, who represent the hope of mankind, silently praised this method in their hearts.
The government of the United States soon issued a call for volunteers to the world! You have experience in underwater work or driving ships, Milican welcomes your arrival, once the inspection is qualified, the government will reimburse you for the travel expenses, and give you a lucrative position, as long as you hold on to the underwater for a while, naturalization is no longer a dream.
It doesn't matter, we have a well-developed training system, as long as you sign your name on the contract, we guarantee that you will learn the skills you need to work! But if you want to quit halfway, then you have to pay a lot of compensation to Millican!
With the attraction of American nationality, they still have a large number of volunteers from all over the world! The only regret is that most of these volunteers are from third world countries and have a low level of education, and it is too difficult to train them to do such a skilled job!
However, with the help of these cannon fodder, it was the volunteers who slowly started the salvage work at Norfolk Naval Base! However, not long after the work began, they discovered a new problem, that is, not all of these volunteers came for American nationality.
There are also a number of people who are working for certain organizations that the people of the United States do not like very much, and they plan to steal nuclear weapons, or they want to directly detonate them! The former is better to say, as long as the precautions are in place! The latter makes the people of the United States unable to guard against it! They dare not imagine what a terrible situation they will face once an accident occurs!
In this way, the progress of the salvage work slowed down again! Investigating the background of these volunteers became almost Edward Miller's main job, and a large part of Huaguo's already small staff was removed.
Their surveillance of China has been reduced to a record low in the past 10 years or so! So much so that they learned that China had officially started the project of establishing a permanent base on the moon when the rocket was about to be launched! )
