"General Yang is right, this is an extremely serious problem." Sergeyev spoke. "There is enough evidence that we may have less than a month left. Speeding up the production of super-nuclear warheads will inevitably place a great burden on secrecy, and no one can guarantee that no information will leak out. If there is an emergency, such as an intelligence leak, it will expose many security risks. The most worthy of our attention are the super-nuclear warheads that have already been produced, as well as the nuclear materials used to produce super-nuclear warheads. In view of Japan's clumsy capabilities exposed in this incident, I propose that the Planetary Defense Council take over Japan's nuclear material plants. ”

"No, we ......"

"General Takeuchi, do you think there are better security measures?"

Stark's remarks show that he shares the same view as Yang Fanglie and Sergeyev, that is, Japan's exposed capability problem is a great security risk.

"I can make a guarantee."

"How much is your guarantee worth? It only takes one super-nuclear warhead to destroy the whole of Japan, and we must not allow any accidents to happen to the nuclear materials that can make thousands of super-nuclear warheads. "Yang Fanglie's attitude is extremely tough, and he doesn't leave any room for it." What we are doing now is to defend the whole world and the entire human civilization. If believing someone's assurances leads to catastrophic consequences, we will definitely regret it! Even if there is only a 1 in 10,000 chance, we must not do anything that we regret. ”

"General Takeuchi, do you have anything else to say?" Stark took a stand.

Takeuchi clenched his fists and said, "I have no right to give an answer, I will report to the Prime Minister and let the Prime Minister decide whether to accept the decision of the Planetary Defense Council." ”

"I am confident that your Prime Minister will definitely make a wise choice." Stark ignored the angry Takeuchi and said, "In view of the seriousness of the situation, it is very necessary to make a plan in advance to take over Japan's nuclear material warehouse and nuclear material refining plant. For reasons of secrecy, I propose that the US military take on the main task. In addition to inviting British, French, German, plus Australian, and Australian troops to participate in the exercise, we will also invite delegations from China, Russia, and Israel to observe the entire exercise. The headquarters of the joint military exercise is located in Yokohama, which is also responsible for receiving observation groups. Guys, do you have any comments? ”

"How many people can be sent to attend?" Sergeyev asked.

"Up to five hundred."

"Isn't it too little?"

"General Sergeyev, are you ready to send a front?" Stark smiled and said, "Of course, if you think that five hundred people are not enough, you can send more personnel to Japan through the intelligence agencies, and I will do my best to assist." ”

Sergeyev nodded, satisfied with Stark's reply.

"Is there an Air Force or Navy involved?"

"This ......"

"Although I also believe that the Japanese prime minister will make a wise choice under the persuasion of General Takeuchi, I think it is necessary to prepare for the worst." Yang Fanglie smiled and said, "I can send an aircraft carrier battle group, twelve nuclear submarines, and thirty-eight conventional submarines." Of course, for reasons of secrecy, these ships do not participate in joint military exercises organized by the American side, but conduct separate exercises in the East China Sea. ”

"General Yang, it's too uninteresting for you to do this." Sergeyev said with a smile, "General Stark has tried his best to conduct joint exercises, and we should also conduct joint exercises." The Pacific Fleet can leave port within 24 hours, so why not set the location of the exercise in the Sea of Japan? ”

"This ......"

"If this arrangement is made, we will also be able to use strategic aviation forces to make the scale larger, so that the outside world will think that we are working against the US military." Sergeyev paused slightly, then turned the conversation to Stark. "General Stark, I think it's better for secrecy."

Stark sighed with a wry smile and said, "If it is beneficial to secrecy and let the situation in the world remain stable before the Judgment Day comes, I have no reason to object. ”

"Generals, do you have any suggestions for a better one?" Sergeyev seems to have forgotten that Stark is the rotating chairman.

Apparently, no one objected, and even Takeuchi remained silent.

The key point is that maintaining the stability of the situation in the world is more important than anything else. The security and secrecy work that the Planetary Defense Council has done over the past two years has been aimed at maintaining stability so that it can concentrate all its efforts on advancing scientific research projects and defense projects related to resisting the invasion of extraterrestrial civilizations.

In just over twenty days, the Day of Judgment will come. If there is turmoil, all efforts will be in vain.

"It's a bit redundant, but the basic process has to be completed, let's vote." Stark didn't ramble on any more. According to the regulations, any decision made by the Joint Chiefs of General Staff will only take effect after it has been voted on, and it will become the basic norm that the 10 member states must abide by.

As long as the United States, China, and Russia take the same position, plus any member state, any resolution can be voted on.

Obviously, it was not possible for all six other chiefs of the General Staff to side with Takeuchi, so Takeuchi also voted in favor of the vote.

After the vote, the 10 chiefs of the General Staff began to discuss a specific plan for holding two joint military exercises at the same time.

Mr. Takeuchi voted in favor, so he received Stark's invitation that Japan's Self-Defense Forces would send troops to participate in a joint military exercise led by the United States.

At the very least, the two joint military exercises will be held on the grounds of tensions on the Korean Peninsula.

Although no one has made it clear, the 10 chiefs of the General Staff all know that the two military exercises were aimed at Japan. That is, if the Japanese authorities refuse to hand over the nuclear material warehouse and nuclear material refinery to the Planetary Defense Council, the Nine-Nation Coalition will occupy the Japanese mainland and overthrow the Japanese regime.

With the knife holder on the neck, is there any other choice for Japan?

Takeuchi was desperate, and what made him even more troubled was that he had to persuade the prime minister, who was elected to power by a right-wing extremist party, to give up the idea of acquiring nuclear weapons.

Although Takeuchi said that it would be good for Japan to make a rational concession, because keeping a seat in the Doomsday Force would be more valuable than building nuclear weapons, he did not have the confidence to convince the prime minister that the special forces who joined the Doomsday Force might not be able to obtain the advanced technology of extraterrestrial civilizations.

It's a gamble, and the stakes are Japan's national fortunes.

If the bet is won, Japan will at least be able to become one of the great powers in the world after Judgment Day. If the bet is lost, Japan will be reduced to a third-rate country.

Perhaps, the prime minister will make a rational decision.

The point is that the basis of gambling is that human civilization can defeat the invading extraterrestrial civilization, otherwise all countries and nations will lose.

It's not a chance, but it's better than perishing.

Finally, when the meeting of the chief of general staff was over, Zhang Xiaogang connected the confidential line with Yang Fanglie.

"Mr. Yang, the matter will not end here."

"Really?"

"Believe it or not, I don't believe in little devils anyway." Zhang Xiaogang lit a cigarette and said, "The pressure of the soldiers may allow the little devil to recognize the situation and make a wise choice, but there are many dreams at night, and no one can guarantee that the little devil will not drag everyone into the water in a desperate situation." ”

"What do you mean......"

"Even if we take over Japan's nuclear material warehouses and refinery plants, we can't guarantee that everything will go smoothly, at least Japanese personnel will still have to refine nuclear materials."

"This ......"

"It's not hard to do something when refining. Even if supervision is strengthened and products are comprehensively inspected, it is impossible to prevent it. Among other things, the little devils are involved in the creation and launch of the launch vehicle, and the Planetary Defense Committee has very little oversight in this regard. ”

"In other words, we have to be on guard."

"Mr. Yang, have you thought about it?"

"What?"

"You started to behave aggressively, so that Takeuchi even had the heart to die. The contradiction between us and the little devil can be said to be known to passers-by. ”

"You mean, the little devils will take their anger out on us?"

"Also, what led to this incident was the accidental death of Nakamura Kojiro, and Chu Tianjiang was the first party. Even if the Yankees are the real culprits behind the scenes, the little devils will not point the finger at the Yankees, but will do everything in their power to curry favor with the Yankees and create favorable conditions for dealing with us. ”

"That's what the Yankees want to see."

Zhang Xiaogang nodded and said, "The two families have their own ghosts, and I don't guarantee that the Yankees will repeat their old tricks and use the little devils to deal with us." ”

"This ......"

"If it's just a little trick, I can handle it. My fear is that the little devils are in cahoots with the Yankees and will do things we don't expect. ”

"What's the matter?"

"I can't think of it, only one thing for sure."

"What?"

"We're not little devils, we don't swallow our anger, we don't need to curry favor with the Yankees. If I change my stance and ask me to do it, I don't do it, I don't say it, and if I want to do it, I have to do it. ”

"This ......" Yang Fanglie frowned, his expression extremely grim.

"To put it simply, as long as we do it, the result will definitely be that we will be slumped and lose the ability to take revenge on the little devils and the Yankees."

Yang Fanglie gritted his teeth, and his face turned pale.

"As the saying goes, you can't have the heart to hurt others, and you can't have the heart to prevent people. It's certainly not a bad thing to be on the lookout. ”

"The point is, how to prevent it?"

"We are indispensable members of the Planetary Defense Council, and the Yankees will certainly not risk dealing with us until Judgment Day comes."

"You mean, after this?"

"It doesn't have to be after."

"This ......"

"When Judgment Day comes, all secrets will be revealed. Whatever the outcome, it can't be changed, at least the leader's influence will be minimized. At this time, our attention is focused on the invading extraterrestrial civilization, and the defense will be minimized, which is the most likely to be plotted. ”

"You're right, this is indeed the most dangerous time."

"Either way, there's nothing wrong with being extra guarded."

"I will carefully consider your suggestions and complete the deployment as soon as possible, hopefully not too late."

Zhang Xiaogang nodded and didn't say anything more.

"You also have to keep an eye on Chu Tianjiang, don't have accidents."

"Okay, I'll keep an eye on him now."

After the communication was lost, Zhang Xiaogang left the private office arranged for him by the Security Affairs Coordination Office. As soon as they reached the ground, a military vehicle drove up. The driver was a security officer, and it was the guard sent by Zhang Xiaogang to secretly protect Chu Tianjiang before.

Something must have happened.
