Just as Zhao Xinglan rushed to the city center to attend the dinner, far away on the other side of the world, in the power center of the United States, a highest-level military meeting was being held. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Admiral Graud is reporting to the bigwigs:

“…… This is the entire harvest of our many search teams on several continents and in the oceans in the past ten months, which adds up to only 0.51 kilograms, and has been handed over to the military's top-secret laboratories. ”

The vice president frowned slightly: "That's it, this can't meet the demand at all, right?"

The admiral spread his hands with obvious helplessness on his face: "I admit that so, the crux of the matter is that this thing is too difficult to find! In this respect, God has not shown the generosity he should have with his chosen people, so in the past few decades, all the Blue Tide Crystals we have found have added up to less than twenty kilograms, and they have basically been used up to the same. ”

The Minister of Defense asked: "Compared with those countries, our search force is the largest and equipped with the best equipment, is there only so many discoveries over the years?"

Admiral Graud nodded gloomily, thanks to the powerful military strength of the United States, which is unique in the world, the scale and number of search teams secretly sent over the years can be said to be incomparable to other countries combined. A large number of nuclear submarines are swaying on the bottom of several oceans day and night, and it can be said that they have basically searched all the places they can find.

The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff asked in a deep voice: "In the last King Squid incident, who was the force that took away that piece of Blue Tide Crystal Mother, have you found out now?"

"Unfortunately, there is no news. The Admiral replied with little confidence.

The last incident simply made the entire CIA lose face, but they didn't even know who the initiator was, when did the arrogant and domineering Mi people suffer such a sullen loss?

The Secretary of Defense coughed and replied calmly: "Your Excellency, now is not the time to pursue responsibility, and the first task before the United States is how to resolve the far-reaching impact of this incident on national security. Or a potential threat!"

The president, who had been silent, asked in surprise: "You mean a threat?" Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean, can you explain it more clearly?"

The Minister of Defense nodded, and said with a stern expression: "Yes, it's a threat!"

"Gentlemen, you may all think that the Blue Tide Mother is gone! Although we didn't get it, those nasty countries didn't get it either, so it doesn't have any impact on the existing balance of power. ”

"Yes, I thought so at first, but after these days of secret investigation, we didn't get any news, although the Chinese people are extremely well guarded!"

He turned on the projector on the table, called up a few pictures, and explained: "This is the news that the high-level mole that is dormant in the interior of the country has risked its life to send back the news, and the people of the country have made great progress in the search for this strategic resource recently. ”

"Not long ago, a secret base of a rebel group in the Wakhan Corridor of Afghanistan was wiped out by Chinese special forces, and it is said that a piece of blue tide crystallite weighing nearly two kilograms was accidentally found at that time. ”

"In addition, just this morning, the Chinese found a piece of blue tide crystal mother in the South China Sea, weighing at least ...... Fifteen kilograms!"

As soon as these words came out, almost all the bigwigs present changed their faces.

The Secretary of State said coldly: "The luck of the Chinese people is too good, right? With such a large amount of Blue Tide Crystal Mother in hand, how many troublesome things will they do in the future? How much benefit will the United States lose because of this!"

"Can we get our men to try to get this here, at all costs!" asked the vice president, gritting his teeth.

The Minister of Defense shook his head gloomily: "Because the stakes are so high, that gentleman had to break the dormant convention and send us back this top-secret information, and now he has been discovered by the Chinese side and controlled by the Chinese side!"

"In addition, we can no longer find suitable people in the relevant departments in China to carry out such a difficult task, and they will definitely further strengthen their precautions when they are alert. ”

The president's brows tightened more and more, and he said in a low voice: "The Chinese people have made such an amazing harvest this time, and then they must be unwilling to keep to themselves in some aspects." ”

Nelson, director of the National Reconnaissance Bureau, said: "According to the latest situation, a certain secret military base located in Lingnan Province has quietly increased its security level, and there are rumors that several frozen secret weapons research projects have been restarted, and many authoritative experts and scholars have been secretly summoned, including academician-level figures of the National Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering!"

The president did not speak with a gloomy face, and everyone present at the meeting had solemn expressions and thought about it.

On today's global political map, the pattern of confrontation between the two powers of the United States and China has gradually taken shape, and although China has not yet reached the peak, it is also a powerful pole that is not inferior to the West. However, the economy of the United States has been sluggish in recent years, and its international status has been slowly declining compared with the beginning of this century.

Many international observer organizations believe that unless the Chinese government makes a major mistake in making a strategic decision, this situation will continue, and eventually this ancient civilization, which has been inherited for thousands of years, will surpass all strategic rivals and stand on top of the world again at a slow and irreversible speed!

Whether the Western civilization, represented by Europe and the United States, which has been strong for 500 years, will lose its charm and aura, slowly decline, and gradually become a vassal of the Eastern civilization is a severe and unavoidable challenge faced by every government of the United States!

In recent years, in the confrontation with China in various fields, the number of defeats of the Chinese people has gradually increased, and many aspects have been caught up or even overtaken by the Chinese people.

If the Chinese government really develops something terrible because of this, and uses it to greatly increase its power on the secret front, then it will undoubtedly gain great benefits, and the strategic advantage of the Chinese people in this regard will be greatly weakened.

"You are faced with this situation...... Any good proposals?"

The president subconsciously clenched his fists and asked in a solemn voice, "What should we do to better protect the interests of the United States?"

The secretary of state said coldly: "We can unite with the Russians to exert pressure on the top level of China to share this Blue Tide Mother! Because it is the common property of all mankind and should not be occupied by a certain government alone!"

"Do you think this will work?"

The national security adviser sneered: "China's high-level leaders are getting tougher and tougher each time, maybe it was possible a few decades ago, but now...... Don't you think they're all kids?"

The guy turned red and said, "I'm just making a possible suggestion! After all, the Russians are also very short of this thing, so they shouldn't refuse our proposal!"

The Minister of Defense shook his head: "This is just a strategy, and it is not wise to use the threat of force to deal with such an opponent who is evenly matched with us now." I think that since the Russians also need this kind of strategic resource, it would be a more feasible idea for us to choose to cooperate with each other, but to give them some benefits, I wonder what you think?"

Compared with the secretary of state's blind toughness, the defense secretary's opinion is undoubtedly much more pragmatic and operational.

In recent years, Russia has also had many domestic problems, national contradictions have continued to intensify, and separatist forces have had a strong influence in many places; due to the historical problems left over from the former Soviet regime, various economic reforms have been difficult and difficult to open up, oil prices have been at a low point for a long time, and the government's fiscal revenue has been extremely unsatisfactory; its military strength has been declining slowly and continuously; in addition, the national population has been gradually decreasing, and although the government has taken many measures, the results are still not satisfactory.

The bipolar pattern of the world is now taking shape, and Russia, a traditional power, is suffering from the same situation as the United States, and its international status continues to decline slowly, and its predicament is even more unbearable. Many eminent observers believe that, barring a miracle, it is entirely possible that this once great power will be completely reduced to a second-rate country in the near future!

"Just by virtue of the relationship between the Russians and what we are doing...... How likely do you think such a cooperation is?" the president asked, after a moment's thought.

The national security assistant said: "Even if the Russians get some Blue Tide Crystal Mother, with their current terrible economic situation, they may not be able to come up with much money to study it, and even under the most optimistic circumstances, they will not be able to get more results on the secret front than the Chinese, let alone us!"

"And for this powerful neighbor around them, they have always been very guarded, in the past because of our suppression, they had to hold a unity alliance, but in their bones there is no way to talk about how much trust each other. ”

"This time, if Huaguo becomes stronger in those areas because of this, it is definitely not good news for them, so I think that working closely with them to try to get that piece of Blue Tide Mother over is a complete win-win result!"

The president finally showed a smile on his face, nodded lightly, and said: "Yes, what you said makes sense, Russians should understand the necessity of such cooperation as long as they still have a minimum of intelligence!"

"And in the future, we can still cooperate with them for a long time, do you think?"

Admiral Graeuzi was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you mean...... Looking for it in Siberia?" (To be continued.) )
