"Gentlemen, do you have any good suggestions?"

Seeing that there were no outsiders in the house, the defense chief of the Mi army was the first to ask.

"Before making the next step, we need to unify the bottom line that we can accept, if we can accept the loss of those wreckage, then this matter will end here, at the cost of our decades-long lead is likely to be wiped out, and the safety of our officers and men fighting on the front line is likely to be lost, if we cannot allow the remains of these top-secret equipment to flow to our possible future adversaries, then we must take decisive action immediately, But this requires a certain amount of risk and a lot of public pressure, and on this issue, I insist on my consistent position, that is, no matter what the cost, we must also get our things back, even if it is by unscrupulous means, what do you think? ”

General Richardson's attitude was crisp and decisive.

About two hours later, the secretary of state, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the assistant for security affairs, the director of the CIA, and other core aides gathered at the presidential palace, and some staff members had already adjusted the video and telephone conference equipment.

"Gentlemen, do you have any latest decisions, I have seen the briefings you have put together, what is the result of your final assessment?"

Mr. Mi sat behind his large desk, examining every face in front of him and on the screen, waiting for the final plan of his core cabinet members.

"Gentlemen, we have not been able to reduce the level of danger of this incident after many evaluations and deductions from many angles, and it is clear that this is the most threatening crisis event that has occurred to us in recent years, and we cannot sit idly by and watch this incident continue to develop without releasing the danger of our core secrets being leaked and our soldiers and equipment unreservedly displayed in front of our opponents, and allowing it to develop will cause endless harm. This is the final conclusion reached after the evaluation of our expert group and the feedback of front-line officers and soldiers. ”

On the other end of the phone, the defense minister of Mi stated the conclusion reached after several arguments between them.

"Is there anything else you'd like to explain?"

Mr. Mi continued to ask without any expression, and at the same time picked up the pages of analysis and evaluation reports on the table and flipped through them.

"I have another situation here, according to the report of our intelligence officer in the Kovo region, it is very likely that the wanted Semonov is still stranded in that consulate, which is in line with our initial judgment, those Orientals must have provided the necessary shelter for the desperate Semonov, in order to temporarily avoid a series of accusations and wanted by the international community against him, in exchange for those Orientals obtained the key parts of the equipment and components of the crashed plane that they were so eager to obtain, and now there is a great possibility, Semonov and the wreckage of those planes are hidden in that building, and after their relevant personnel confirm the handover, these classified parts are very likely to be transferred immediately, and Semonov should also be escorted to the place he wants to go at the right time, in addition, the department has noticed that there are some other sensitive people stranded in the consulate, in the later stage of the Kovo War, there are many such people who are afraid of being wanted and tried afterwards, and they have all hid in the corresponding embassies and consulates to seek refuge, and the Chinese consulate is no exception, There are a number of political figures with whom they have some connections, and I am therefore in favour of further action there, and of implementing it immediately, lest there be long nights. ”

The CIA director was the first to make his attitude clear.

"On the issue of the former Yugoslavia, China has always been in opposition to us, so that we often have constraints when formulating sanctions against the SAGO, and it is not impossible to give them a little warning in some way, but I just want to remind you that if this matter is not handled well, it will cause a very serious diplomatic dispute, and in any case, we must first seek the understanding and support of our allies."

The Secretary of State gave his opinion from his own point of view, and there was nothing superfluous for anyone else.

"Well, now that I know what you've come to and what judgments you've made based on it, how are you going to defuse this crisis? How to give that country a proper warning and banging? Tell us about your specific course of action. ”

Mr. Mi's questions were still flat and did not show any waves, and his eyes always stayed on the pages in front of him.

"We have developed two sets of plans, the first choice is for our special forces to carry out a raid there, in the shortest possible time to recover or destroy on the spot what we lost, and at the same time arrest Semonov, the advantage of this plan is that the effect of the attack can be confirmed on the spot, in addition, once Semonov is caught there, it will be useless no matter how the other side protests afterwards, Semonov is the hole card we control to shut them up, therefore, this plan is relatively safe, and the grasp is a little higher."

Mr. Mi's eyes finally left the pages of the report in his hand, he raised his head and glanced at a few people in the room, and then looked at the defense minister of Mi and the commander of the European Marine Theater Richardson in the video, and there was obvious surprise in his eyes.

The whole office was quiet for a while, and finally, Mr. Mi moved his eyes back to the report in his hand, let out a long breath and asked:

"This is your preferred option, what's the other option?"

Mi Fangchang coughed lightly:

"Our second plan is relatively simple, and the implementation is more rapid, but the disadvantage is that we may not be able to personally confirm the effect of the attack, and we cannot control the degree of damage there, if the attack is in the right position, then after the attack, the purpose of destroying the wreckage can basically be achieved, at least those dismantled intact components can be seriously damaged, even if the attack does not achieve the pre-effective effect, we can intercept it on the spot when they are forced to transfer the wreckage and the wanted person, But no matter which plan is adopted, as long as we seize the handle of the other side, then they will have nothing to say, and they should be able to compromise under the pressure of public opinion and the deterrence of our strength......"

"I'm sorry, but you haven't said exactly how your second plan will be implemented?"

Mr. Mi interrupted the defense minister's in-depth remarks.

"Our second plan is a long-range attack without contact with the other side, using our laser-guided missiles to carry out precision strikes, and using ground-penetrating bombs to penetrate the main body of their buildings and directly blow up the wreckage parts of the aircraft stored in the underground secret room, the advantage of this plan is that even if we miss again, we can attribute this targeted attack to a technical error or a missile that deviates from the target, and the missile attack will also disperse the suspicious people hiding inside, which also provides a ...... for us to arrest or pressure them outside."

"Enough!"

Mr. Mi slammed the stack of research and judgment reports in his hand on the table, and he looked at his staff members in front of him with eyes that were almost angry and puzzled.

"Enough, gentlemen, is this the final solution that you have come up with all these days? But what I saw and heard was a crazy plan in the middle of the word. ”

Mr. Mi breathed a sigh of relief, put the pile of reports in his hand again, stood up from the wide chair, paced back and forth in the center of the office, and continued:

"Gentlemen, don't I need to remind you, that this is not an ordinary residential building, let alone a den of terrorists, where the flag of their country is planted on the roof, and no one is allowed to enter without permission, and you want to send us Marines to attack it? How did you come up with such a crazy, stupid plan? Can you make sure that our people rush in without being recognized? Can you make sure they'll find their target as soon as they're inside? Are you sure that the guards stationed there won't return fire and be at our mercy? What if there is a clash inside and our men are killed or wounded? What to do if you are captured? How many Combatants do you need to send to make sure you're on the safe side? It's crazy, gentlemen, and I advise you to calm down again and find a practical solution. ”

Mr. Mi said, turned and walked in the direction of the gate, he stood in front of the door for a moment, looked up slightly at the roof above, and then left a sentence 'It's crazy!' Then he slammed the door, slamming behind him.

The people in the room stood in their same positions, and no one moved, and no one spoke, so they were all stunned, and after a long time, the Secretary of State took a step forward, and seemed to say to the people in the room, and to the Minister of Defense and the Commander of the European Theater of Operations on the other side of the screen:

"Gentlemen, the topic of today's meeting is over, I think you should know what you should do, the master here does not want to see trouble, good luck to you."

The secretary said, raising his hand to turn off the monitor, and turned to leave the world-famous office, leaving everyone else.

On the other side of the screen, in a small conference room, Defense Minister Mi looked at Richardson, who was sitting on the side:

"I knew it was the result, this plan is really crazy, can we find any other solution?"

Mi Fang said tentatively.

Richardson had been fiddling the pen in his hand, and when he heard the Secretary of Defense asking, he said with a slight smile:

"Our boss has approved the second plan we have come up with, and he hasn't vetoed our plan to carry out precision strikes, he just doesn't want to see trouble, so I'll go to the war room."

Richardson stood up and walked out, and when he reached the door, he said to the defense secretary without looking back:

"Old friend, it's time to change places, it's inconvenient for you to be here."

About half an hour later, a calibrator from the Theater Operations Division walked into Richardson's office with a map of the coordinates of the strike that had just been drawn up, and on the map the targets that were about to be attacked were marked with 'X'.
