Chapter 556: Decision

After the two-hour press conference, reporters from various news outlets sent the news back as quickly as possible. The pen is interesting and www.biquge.info news, and what is important is the effectiveness. When the contents of the republic's press conference were made public, the world was in an uproar, and governments and organizations did not expect the republican to be so tough this time, and at the same time, the various intelligence agencies began to operate at full speed.

The White House, USA.

President Xiao Ao kept losing his temper in the office, and none of the White House staff outside the office dared to go in to persuade him, and no one wanted to touch the president's moldy head at this time. It was about ten minutes before Xiao Ao's voice came from the president's office.

"Someone!"

"Mr. President!"

"Find someone to clean up this place, and notify it separately, so that the Secretary of Defense and the Director of the CIA can ...... Half an hour later in the conference room. Xiao Ao read out a series of names. Half an hour later, all the personnel whose names were mentioned by Xiao Ao had arrived in the White House conference room.

"Everyone knows the content of the press conference of the Republic, so I won't say more. Now let's come over to discuss how we should deal with the next move of the Republic. Xiao Ao didn't say any nonsense and got straight to the point.

"Mr. President, I think the Republic is trying to provoke us this time, and now they want to touch our interests in Afghanistan, and we must not let them succeed. If we do not teach the republic a profound lesson this time, then we estimate that we will lose a lot of benefits in the future. "The words of the Secretary of Defense are very much in line with the thinking of most Americans.

"What about the CIA, do you have any latest information?"

"Mr. President, according to the reports of our intelligence agents embedded in the Republic. Now the Republic has begun to secretly transfer troops into the western part of their country, and it is estimated that the number of troops will reach about 150,000. Combined with the 30,000 people who entered the mobilization some time ago, the total number of troops may reach about 180,000, or even exceed this number. ”

"What does the Army think?"

"We don't have any opinions on the side of the army, the main thing is that we have too few troops in Afghanistan now, only one division. If the Republic really has a large number of troops entering Afghanistan, the strength of one of our divisions plus the Afghan government army will definitely not be the opponent of the Republic. Although our army is ready to strike at any time, we are too far from Afghanistan. Based on the current military strength of the Republic, by the time our forces are in place, I think the Republic will have cleared the entire territory of Afghanistan. "The five-star general, commander-in-chief of the U.S. Army, said very accurately the current disadvantages of the U.S. Army.

"What about the Navy?"

"Mr. President, there is nothing wrong with our navy, our Pacific Fleet has been sailing in the waters of the Indian Ocean recently, and warplanes are ready to take to the skies at any time. But we need to communicate with the countries along the way. ”

"Mr. President, I think we can completely give up our interests in Afghanistan. Over the years, not only have we not gained much benefit from Afghanistan, but many soldiers have died in Afghanistan because of the resistance forces in Afghanistan. Moreover, the republic borders Afghanistan, and if we fight with the republic in Afghanistan, then we have no chance of winning. Their army is backed by the state and is completely free of any logistical pressure. We are fighting far from our homeland, and the logistical pressure is too great. Moreover, the Republic has been rapidly upgrading its weapons and equipment over the years, and they can easily solve one of our divisions in Afghanistan. The U.S. Secretary of State made the opposite view.

"We can launch missiles from home. As soon as the Secretary of State's words ended, the Commander-in-Chief of the Army immediately came up with a plan.

"General, in fact this is impossible. What reason do we have to launch missiles from the territory to attack the troops of the republic, do you want to cause a world war? Now the republics are not as good as before, and although their current military strength has not caught up with us, they have reached the point where they can threaten us. Besides, do you think those members of Congress will agree to war? It is precisely because of this that the Republic has calculated this that it has come back so hard-line this time. The most important thing is that they are now in the name of counter-terrorism, and what reason do we have to interfere with their actions against terrorism? ”

"Do you want to let them be arrogant?" the commander-in-chief of the army was very unconvinced.

"Everyone, we have all ignored the most important point so far, why does the Republic dare to be so tough and so fearless this time?"

"Why?" others also wondered why the republic was so tough this time.

Although we have no direct evidence to prove that this person or this special operations team is a member of the Republic, all indications indicate that this is what the Republic did. And what happened in Iraq some time ago has not been forgotten, right? A combat squad that slaughtered so many terrorists, and they themselves did not have any deaths. If the Republic had sent them into the country, how many of us would have escaped their assassination?" the Secretary of State's words silenced all those present at the meeting, who had completely forgotten about the assassin who had been hiding his body had not been reminded by the Secretary of State.

"Do we really want to turn a blind eye to the republic's prestige and fortune? Then how will we gain a foothold in the international arena in the future?" In Xiao Ao's view, the republic's position as the world hegemon this time is indeed challenging the United States' position as the world's hegemon, but the republic's hands have in its hands the weapon of mass destruction that will make them completely dumb.

"Mr. President, we must do this at this stage, or we must be ready to fight the Republic to the death at any time. Moreover, the Republic is now a big market, and if we rashly go against the Republic, then we are likely to be subject to economic sanctions. So the mercenary villains in Congress won't agree to our troops.

As time passed, the voices in the conference room became louder and louder, and a fight almost broke out. In the end, it was decided to abandon all American interests in Afghanistan, and at the same time warn the government of the republic.

At this time, not only the U.S. government was holding an emergency meeting, but Afghanistan, a small country, also held an emergency meeting after learning about the contents of the republic's press conference to discuss how to deal with the republic's next move. The biggest difference between the Afghan government and the U.S. government is that the U.S. government has the strength to wrestle with the republic, but the Afghan government is not like this, and if it were not for the support of the U.S. government, they would not dare to disobey the republic.
