Chapter 124: Ace in Hand (Part I)
After a heated quarrel, the meeting of the chiefs of the General Staff became as silent as death.
The expressions of the ten chiefs of the General Staff were grim, and nine of them looked extremely angry. Although Stark came up with a lot of hard evidence, no one believed his nonsense, let alone that such a thing could happen at such a critical time. Several chiefs of general staff were paying attention to Yang Fanglie, and at this time, only Yang Fanglie came forward to raise questions, and others could make trouble and put pressure on Stark.
After being silent for a while, Yang Fanglie said: "If there is nothing else, I suggest that the meeting be adjourned for the time being, and then we will discuss it when it is clear." ”
Everyone originally had great hopes for Yang Fanglie, but Yang Fanglie proposed to adjourn the meeting, which was immediately incomprehensible.
Sergeyev also found it difficult to understand, but quickly understood. "That's fine, it's not too late to wait until there's more news to discuss it."
At this time, Renault and the others also understood, so it was naturally not good to continue to entangle.
After the adjournment, Yang Fanglie asked Wei Longzheng to invite Yuan Dezhi over.
No matter how conclusive the evidence Stark presents, Yang Fanglie will not believe his nonsense. Doomsday forces have landed on Amsterdam Island, except for the four scattered scientists, the remaining eighteen scientists have been evacuated, and a team of scientists led by Zyuganov is about to arrive. At this time, there was an unexpected situation, and the command center of Diego Garcia lost contact with the Doomsday Force!
Is this just a coincidence? Apparently not!
Although Stark insisted that the incident had nothing to do with the United States, and that the root cause was the increased electromagnetic waves emitted by the Y celestial body, and the communication satellites in geosynchronous orbit were also interfered with, resulting in the interruption of communications, the other nine chiefs of general staff all believed that this was definitely not the result of the increased interference of the Y celestial body.
The question is, how do you prove that Stark is lying?
Yang Fanglie has no evidence in his hands, and there is no evidence in the hands of other chiefs of the General Staff.
If the quarrel continues, not only will the situation not be more favorable, but it will also waste extremely valuable time, so Yang Fanglie proposed to adjourn the meeting temporarily.
Now, what is needed most is evidence!
Not long after, Yuan Dezhi rushed over. The Military Intelligence Bureau has also completed the strategic evacuation, and all core personnel have been transferred to the Xuanwu Strategic Command Center.
"Old Yuan, what do you think?"
"It's very strange, mainly because it happened at a coincidental time. Although we cannot rule out the possibility that the Y celestial body has an anomaly that has caused interference with communications, I think that the United States will certainly have something to do with it. Let's not forget, the United States secretly formed a Doomsday Force. ”
Yang Fanglie's brows tightened, and he let Yuan Dezhi continue.
"What would have happened if all this had been orchestrated by the United States? Communication was cut off, and we had no idea what was going on on Dao Island. Yuan Dezhi snorted coldly and said, "I dare to guarantee that when the communication is restored, the Y celestial body will disappear, and no one will be able to prove that Stark is lying." ”
"The point is, we need proof that Stark is lying."
"At the time of the incident, one of our country's reconnaissance satellites happened to pass over the island of Amsterdam, but the communication was interrupted, and the communication did not return to normal until it left the sky over the island of Amsterdam."
"Did you take a picture?"
Yuan Dezhi sighed and said: "The reconnaissance satellite transmits the photos taken to the ground command center in real time through the data link, and even if the photos are taken, the data has been lost. ”
"Send another satellite."
"It's useless, communication hasn't returned to normal, we can't receive the pictures taken."
"Is there no other way?"
"It is possible to launch a reconnaissance satellite equipped with a film camera and then recover the film. It's just that several of our space centers were destroyed in a strong earthquake, and there are no launch vehicles that can be used immediately, and there are not even ready-made satellites. With this in place, it will be a few days away. Before the film can be recovered, the reconnaissance satellite has to be allowed to perform an orbit change maneuver, which will take another one or two days. ”
"You know, we don't have that much time." Yang Fanglie paused slightly and said, "Zyuganov will arrive on the island of Amsterdam in a few hours. If Stark wants to play this play well, he will definitely stop before this and let Zyuganov pounce. ”
"If they didn't play well, Zyuganov and they would definitely not be able to get to Amsterdam Island."
"Even so, even though Stark's ambitions are clear, we're still the biggest losers. As long as the outcome is decided, I am afraid that except for me and Sergeyev, everyone else will move closer to Stark in order to get a piece of the pie, and our country and Russia will be completely marginalized. ”
Yuan Dezhi sighed secretly, of course he understood the meaning of Yang Fanglie's words.
If communications return to normal before Zyuganov and them reach the island of Amsterdam, the Y celestial body is definitely under the control of the American authorities, or even hidden by them. When the time comes, Stark will not say anything, everyone knows that the Y celestial body is the technological crystallization of extraterrestrial civilizations, so it is reasonable to disappear from the landing site, and no one can think that the United States is secretly playing tricks.
If Zyuganov and the others fail to reach the island of Amsterdam and have an accident on the way, Stark is almost certainly behind the scenes. At this point, everyone knows that the United States has taken control of the Y celestial body, and has even acquired the advanced technology of extraterrestrial civilizations. Although Yang Fanglie and Sergeyev will not stop there, Stokes and others, who have always been close to Stark, will definitely rely more on Stark, while Renault and others, who have an ambiguous attitude, may change their course and move closer to Stark again.
In this case, Yang Fanglie had only two options: one was to withdraw from the Planetary Defense Council in anger, and the other was to recognize the hegemony of the United States.
These two options are the next kind of policy, and they will not help China's future in the slightest.
"Mr. Yang......"
"Think of something else?"
"I think it's worth taking a gamble."
"Bet, how to bet?"
"This matter is still up to Zhang Xiaogang, he is arranging it before and after."
Yang Fanglie didn't ramble, and immediately asked Wei Longzheng to contact Zhang Xiaogang and ask him to make a video call.
Zhang Xiaogang had already returned to the office and was waiting for Yang Fanglie's call.
At the beginning of the meeting, he saw at a glance that even if Stark's superb acting skills were enough to win the Oscar for Best Actor, a lie is a lie. Even the most perfect lies are flawed. There is an extremely glaring hole in Stark's lies. If the electromagnetic waves emitted by the Y object can cause interference to communication satellites close to 36,000 kilometers above the ground, why did it not interfere with Diego Garcia's communication facilities? Such a powerful source of interference is enough to completely paralyze radio communications within a radius of thousands of kilometers.
What made Zhang Xiaogang puzzled was that Yang Fanglie didn't grasp this question and questioned Stark.
Stark may have other theories, but his statements are all made up lies, and the more lies are told, the easier it is to contradict themselves.
Zhang Xiaogang can only believe that Yang Fanglie is not sure to expose Stark's lies and needs more direct evidence.
Obviously, the evidence will not be sent to the door on its own initiative, it must be found.
Thinking about this, Zhang Xiaogang returned to the office and waited for Yang Fanglie's call.
"Mr. Yang, I don't think it matters what is going on, the important thing is that we have lost contact with Chu Tianjiang, and the top priority is to find out the situation on the island."
"This is also my opinion with Mr. Yang." Yuan Dezhi hurriedly said a word, so as not to let Zhang Xiaogang get carried away.
"What do you think should be done?" Yang Fanglie asked.
"The Yankees have trump cards, and we have trump cards too." Zhang Xiaogang lit a cigarette and said, "Stark dares to defy the world's condemnation and fight against nine countries, he must have played a trump card, otherwise he would not be full of confidence." Let's play the trump card and see who wins the most. ”
"You mean......" Yang Fanglie understood what Zhang Xiaogang meant.
"Even if Stark wasn't lying, and the truth is as he said, we have to act now. On this point, you can ask Luo Jinyong's opinion. ”
"The question is, is it too late to act?"
"It's not too late, we still have a little king in our hands. Now is the time to put Tissot to its value. ”
"Tissot?" Yang Fanglie looked a little puzzled.
Zhang Xiaogang smiled and said, "You have to ask Lao Yuan about this matter, he knows better than me." ”
Yang Fanglie nodded and said, "Wait until I discuss it with Lao Yuan before taking action." ”
"Mr. Yang, now is not the time to be cautious, we only have one chance, and human beings only have one chance." Zhang Xiaogang knew that Yang Fanglie was not only asking him for advice, but also hoping to get some support from him. "Long before the Doomsday Force was formed, we knew that the Yankees were secretly playing tricks and forming their own Doomsday Force, and the purpose of this force is self-evident. After Chu Tianjiang joined, I kept reminding him that he was also preparing. To this end, we specially asked Luo Jinyong to make a special modulation of Chu Tianjiang's doomsday warrior system, and also conducted targeted training. It's a pity that the results of half a month's training show that if Chu Tianjiang acts alone, he is not an opponent of the U.S. Army's Doomsday Force at all, and he needs at least one partner. This is also the reason why we captured Long Zhijian alive on the desert island, and secretly escorted him back to China, reformed his Doomsday Warrior system, and then cultivated Liu Zhanbo. ”
Yang Fanglie frowned, he knew all these things, but he had never thought about it.
"Let Chu Tianjiang and Liu Zhanbo fight together, and the combat effectiveness of the two can be brought into play. Let them act alone, and everyone's combat effectiveness will not be much stronger. ”
"The question is, if you let Liu Zhanbo go over now, is it too late?"
"Maybe it's too late, but who knows for sure?" Zhang Xiaogang lit another cigarette and said, "Previously, I had already considered this possibility, and Chu Tianjiang also had some concerns, and we all thought that we should try to win over a doomsday warrior and let him cooperate with Chu Tianjiang. ”
"Petronovich?"
"It's not him, it's Halevy."
"This ......"
"If Haleviken cooperates with Chu Tianjiang, his value is no less than Liu Zhanbo."
"But ......"
"Mr. Yang, if you are Stark, and you have a doomsday force with a size of more than 100 people, how will you capture the Y celestial body?"
