Chapter 986: Chaos Everywhere Three
"Mr. Minister, Your Excellency's reaction is really too weak, when has our US government suffered such a big loss, and was actually calculated by its so-called allies, resulting in heavy casualties in military operations, being questioned by the people at home, and the US army has suffered a huge humiliation for this!"
"The most troublesome thing is that now on the battlefield in Afghanistan, our army officers and soldiers are still under the constant threat of these anti-tank missiles and man-portable anti-aircraft missiles, resulting in the number of casualties in the war is expanding every day, especially the losses of main battle tanks, infantry fighting vehicles and helicopter gunships are extremely alarming, plus a large number of ammunition and materials have been looted, and the transportation lines between Jalalabad and Kabul have been cut off, and we are now very passive."
"The Army Staff deduced that according to this situation, it would take at least two months to occupy Kandahar and Herat, and as for the western and southern parts of Afghanistan, it would take even more time. The Secretary of War waited until Mr. Secretary returned to the Department of Defense after a conclave meeting, and then went into the office to complain.
According to his thoughts, this matter is really too bad, if there are no two countries behind the scenes, how can the US military have such serious losses? Money is not the biggest problem, the key is that the lives of thousands of American GIs, and almost twice as many people are being treated in hospitals, which is equivalent to losing half of the combat effectiveness of the division, which is outrageous!
The presidential administration should use the evidence obtained by the CIA to immediately exert pressure on France and Israel, force them to cancel the sale of advanced weapons to the Taliban government, and take retaliatory measures to sanction them.
Don't say that Israel and European countries are now in their hands to jointly develop weapons, use Raytheon's technology, and provide evidence to the Taliban government, even if there is no, the US government wants to find trouble with whom, and there is no need to consider the issue of evidence, just like now in Iraq, the ghost knows whether there are weapons of mass destruction!
"You are wrong, the anger and resentment in the heart of Your Excellency the President are much stronger than yours, the military has suffered humiliation, and the United States has suffered humiliation, but we cannot face the future world pattern alone, Your Excellency the President needs to consider the problem from a strategic point of view. CIA intelligence shows that European countries are secretly accumulating forces to expand their armies and weaponry in preparation for US deterrence by force. ”
"We are waging a war on terror with Afghanistan, and we have no time to deal with the threat from Europe, if we turn around at this time, we have to do a good job of NATO facing the threat of separation, if European countries announce their separation from NATO, then there is no need for this military organization to exist, the image of the United States in the world will be greatly reduced, and it will also be cheaper for Russia, which wants to go west, and may even cause a chain reaction, especially Japan, I have always been uneasy about this country." The Minister of Defense shook his head and said.
NATO is a symbol of the US superpower, and it is also an important support used to display hegemonism and a unipolar world; no matter how powerful the United States is, it is impossible for it to be the enemy of the whole world, and we must not forget that there is still Russia, and if the net is broken, Russia will absolutely not be afraid.
The former Soviet Union's nuclear arsenal was inherited by the Russian government, although the quality is much inferior to that of the United States, but the number is more than that of the United States, and nuclear weapons have always been a sword of Damocles, which plays a deterrent role, rather than being used in actual combat, unless they want to destroy the earth.
In the face of Russia, an old adversary, as well as a rising China, the US Government's strategic focus has shifted to the Asia-Pacific region, and if it falls out with European countries, its traditional interests will be greatly damaged, and without the support of its allies, Russia will take advantage of the situation to sit on its throne.
Another reason is that the United States has never been worried about Japan, which is a potential threat, and it is also a country that does not play cards according to common sense, after all, when the two sides were at war during World War II, the US military suffered so much, and the losses were also very large, and the Pearl Harbor incident was a lesson from the past!
The United States has built more than 100 military bases in Japan, and no matter how angry the Japanese people are and how strong the wave of protests is, the US Government is resolutely unwilling to withdraw its own troops.
"Do we want to let the weapons made by Israel and France continue to cause us casualties, and we can only sit idly by? This is a great insult to the American military, and we have never been so guilty in the face of World War II! "The Secretary of War is furious when he thinks about it.
"Don't worry, it's not our American habit to swallow your anger, you haven't figured out what Your Excellency the President means, the official posture has to remain the same, the United States and Europe are close allies, but there is no problem in secret, the CIA has formulated retaliatory actions for this, and will ask mercenaries to cooperate if necessary."
"The U.S. government will also send special envoys to visit a number of countries to suggest to countries in Latin America, the Middle East and Central Asia, India, Australia and other countries, asking them to reduce or refrain from buying products from European countries and Israel, including minerals, oil, weapons and equipment."
"The mercenary corps have great influence in various regions, especially on Africa's energy resources, and the U.S. government will ask them to reduce the export of African mineral resources to European countries and Israel, and the economic losses will be borne by the U.S. government."
"This is a huge plan, since European countries are no longer willing to cooperate with the United States, and have to set up their own defense system from NATO, then we have a lot less constraints on doing things, European countries, including Israel, rely heavily on imported raw materials, energy is the top priority, whether the transportation is smooth, this is a big problem."
"The CIA's retaliation plan is difficult to work in a short period of time, so the key at the moment is the war in Afghanistan, which is our first priority, and the presidential office has decided to temporarily hand over all the large cities in the occupied areas to the mercenary corps to be responsible for maintenance, leaving only a small number of troops for logistics transportation and supplies, and concentrating forces to defeat the southern and western regions, for this reason, the Ministry of Defense will give more orders and contracts to the mercenary corps." said the Minister of Defense.
"I just found out now that if there is no help from the mercenary corps, which greatly eases the pressure on logistics and supply, we will be very passive in this war, and the Taliban army is far more difficult to deal with than imagined, that is, the mercenary corps is too ruthless to ask for money." said the Secretary of the Army.
