Chapter 811: The Scapegoat of Joy

In the presidential office of the Pentagon in Washington, the faces of US President William Colby, Vice President Edmond Randolph, Secretary of State Timothy Pickering, and Secretary of Defense John Marshall all had expressions on their faces.

Several high-ranking US officials even hoped that today was April Fool's Day, and the commander-in-chief of the United Nations forces, George Abiza, was joking, but the reality was so cruel, the United Nations forces had indeed suffered heavy losses, and the US navy, army, and air force had suffered a lot of losses, and the loss reports had been placed in front of them.

Now the Huaxing Association has become a quagmire, if the United States can get out of the quagmire of the Huaxing Association now, these high-level American officials must be in favor of it with both hands, but they know that if the United States retreats now, it will cause a series of unfavorable chemical reactions to the United States, at least the Philippines, the master of the country, will definitely be replaced by Chinese, then the United States' decades of layout in the Asia-Pacific region will be in vain.

Now the United States can only fight hard-headed and completely wipe out Huaxing, so this time the US military has suffered such heavy losses and one aircraft carrier has sunk, and the United States has to continue to fight.

Some people have even proposed to carry out a nuclear strike on Huaxing again, but the US high-level knows that not to mention that Huaxing will have already captured most of Luzon Island, and if it carries out a nuclear strike, it will bring countless civilian casualties, although the United States does not care about the casualties of Philippine civilians, but the world's public opinion still has to be taken into account by the United States, and in addition, China's warning, the United States has to pay attention to it, and if it really causes a nuclear war, the United States itself should cry its nose.

President William Colby whispered to Secretary of Defense John Marshall: "I wonder why this is happening. What happened to our American army? Just after launching an attack on Huaxinghui, our US Air Force and Navy have lost nearly 500 fighters, including 441 fighters, these are all fourth- and fifth-generation fighters, and each of them is piled up with dollars! In addition, the USS Bush, a Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier of the US Navy, as well as one missile destroyer and two missile frigates, were all sunk by Huaxing fighters, and many other warships were damaged! Our U.S. Army is even more wrecked, nearly 100,000 elite troops were defeated by a small number of armored units of the Huaxing Society, and had to withdraw to the city of San Fernando, with a total of more than 20,000 casualties, of which more than half were killed or missing! I very much doubt that those troops on the front line are the troops of our United States of America? ”

Secretary of Defense John Marshall said with a wry smile: "The main reason for the defeat of the United Nations forces this time is that the Huaxing Air Force has more fighters than we expected, and it seems that China has given Huaxing at least more than 300 fighters, so that the fighters of our United Nations forces are at a disadvantage in terms of numbers." ”

Vice President Edmond Randolph suddenly interjected: "China has given Huaxing more than 300 fighter jets!" How is this possible? Is there no place for China's fighter jets? According to information from our US intelligence department, the fourth and fifth generation fighters of the Chinese Air Force will definitely not exceed 1,200 fighters, so how can the Chinese side take out a quarter of its fighters at once to support a Filipino-Chinese gang organization? This is unreasonable! ”

Secretary of Defense John Marshall explained: "China should indeed give Huaxing more than 300 fighters, but most of them are third-generation fighters, only a small number of fourth-generation fighters, but Huaxing will use that strange means to steal hundreds of advanced fighters from our United States, as well as Japan and South Korea, these fighters are all fourth-generation and fifth-generation fighters, plus Huaxing will get more than 300 fighters from China, so that the war has just started. We were caught off guard by the Huaxing Air Force. ”

Secretary of State Timothy Pickering asked, puzzled: "How can China's third-generation fighters possibly pose a threat to our fourth-generation fighters and fifth-generation fighters of the U.S. Air Force and Navy?" Could it be that our previous intelligence was all wrong? Isn't the performance of the third-generation fighter of the Chinese Air Force not inferior to our American fighters in service? ”

Secretary of Defense John Marshall said embarrassedly: "The performance of China's third-generation fighters is indeed as good as we have obtained before, but the pilots of Huaxinghui are very good, even surpassing our pilots of the US Air Force and Navy, even piloting the old third-generation fighters, which has also caused great losses to our US Air Force and Navy." ”

After a pause, John Marshall continued: "As for the rout of our American Army, there are many reasons! The United Nations forces handed over the task of attacking in the direction of San Juan to our US Army and the Philippine Government Army, and as a result, after the Huaxing Army suddenly launched a counterattack, because the Philippine Government Army in front was quickly defeated, the fleeing Philippine troops instantly broke down the temporary defense line established by our US Army, which caused chaos in our US Army. ”

President William Colby did not reduce his level of anger when he heard Secretary of Defense John Marshall's explanation, the fiasco of the United Nations forces, especially the heavy losses of the American army, had almost sent him to the edge of the precipice, and he would sit on the end if he did not get his position as president, and someone must be responsible for such a large loss of the American army, and he, the president who supported the war, was the best scapegoat.

President William Colby certainly does not want to be ousted from the presidency in this way, and it seems that he has to find other scapegoats to cover him, and President William Colby thinks that the most suitable scapegoat is George Abiza, the commander-in-chief of the United Nations forces, and if it were not for George Abiza's incompetence, how could the United Nations forces have suffered such a big defeat? Nor will the US navy, army, and air force suffer such large losses.

Thinking of this, President William Colby looked at the other three high-ranking American officials, and said in a solemn tone: "The news of this fiasco has spread all over the world, and someone must be responsible for the failure of this United Nations force. ”

Vice President Edmond Randolph, Secretary of State Timothy Pickering and Secretary of Defense John Marshall, listening to President William Colby's words, couldn't help but make eye contact with each other, it is obvious that President William Cole wants George Abizza to be the scapegoat for the fiasco of the United Nations forces, but several people believe that this may be the best choice, after all, it is also a very bad thing for several of their senior American leaders to let President William Colby step down now, If they don't know that they will also be implicated in the fiasco of the United Nations forces, and now the commander-in-chief of the United Nations forces, George Abiza, is the scapegoat, which can be described as a happy thing.

So Edmond Randolph, Timothy Pickering, and John Marshall nodded their heads and agreed with President William Colby's suggestion that George Abiza, the commander-in-chief of the United Nations forces, should be responsible for the fiasco of the United Nations forces.

President William Colby was relieved to hear that the other three top U.S. officials had agreed to make George Abizza a scapegoat, and then he thought about it and said, "I think it's up to Lewis Black, a five-star general in the Army, to take over as commander-in-chief of the United Nations forces, and to be in charge of the U.S. Army, Army, and Air Force in the Philippines." ”

Edmond Randolph, Timothy Pickering and John Marshall were also not in control, and the new commander-in-chief of the United Nations force was decided.

Secretary of Defense John Marshall then told President William Colby: "Today, our U.S. Navy and Air Force have only eight F-22 Raptor fighters, six F-35A fighters, 68 F-35C Lightning fighters, 39 A-10B Intruder fighters, 98 FA-18 Super Hornet fighters, nine F-15 fighters, 14 F-16 fighters and seven AV-8B Harrier attack aircraft combined, for a total of only 249 aircraft. If we want to continue to attack Huaxinghui and eliminate this troublesome terrorist organization, we in the United States and other countries must add enough fighter planes to Luzon, otherwise it will be difficult for the United Nations forces to launch another attack on the area controlled by Huaxinghui. ”

President William Colby nodded and said: "Although our US Navy and Air Force have lost a large number of fighters this time, compared to the total number of fighters that our United States has, it has not reached the point of breaking the bones, the Department of Defense will formulate a fighter reinforcement plan as soon as possible, send as many fighters as possible to Luzon, and make appropriate replenishments to the US Army on Luzon, after all, this time several army units and marines have suffered a lot of losses!" At the same time, we also need to ask other countries to send more fighters and troops to join the war on terror in Luzon, because the war on terror is the responsibility of all countries, and we cannot take it on our own. ”

President William Colby made up his mind that this time he would make the rest of the United Nations forces hemorrhage, and the strength of the United Nations forces in Luzon would be overwhelming for the Huaxing Society, and he did not want any more accidents, so he had to quickly eliminate the Huaxing Society and put everything back on the right track.

Secretary of Defense John Marshall hesitated for a moment and said: "However, if we again transfer a large number of fighters, we can only draw them from our defense forces in the United States, and then the security level of our American homeland will be greatly reduced." ”

President William Colby waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter! No country would dare to wage war against the United States of America, and the Department of Defense could draw as many fighter jets as possible to join the United Nations forces. ”

Secretary of Defense John Marshall nodded, but in his heart he secretly said that Huaxing would not even be a country, wouldn't it dare to provoke a war with the United States? Of course, John Marshall would not have said these words, and he actually believed that the United States would not be threatened by war.

Soon the order of the US Department of Defense was transmitted to the command of the United Nations forces on Luzon Island in the Philippines, and the commander-in-chief of the United Nations Forces, George Abiza, saw the order to let him return to China, although his face was very calm, and there was even a trace of regret in it, but his heart felt very relaxed, and he finally left this ghost place, George Abiza was eager to leave Luzon Island immediately and return to the United States to relax, but he had to wait until the new commander-in-chief of the United Nations forces arrived on Luzon and completed the handover before returning to the United States.

George Abiza knew that when he returned to the United States this time, his military career would probably come to an end, but if he dredged up the relationship, he might be able to get a job at the military academy until he retired.

If he continues to stay in the position of commander-in-chief of the United Nations forces, maybe the final result will be even worse, he is very sure that Huaxing will be an extremely difficult bone to gnaw, the United States has now broken a few teeth, the war continues, although the United States has a sharp tooth, but it is still unknown how many can be left, and whether it can gnaw the bone of Huaxing is also unknown.

George Abizza had just received the order to leave his post, and the commander of the British Expeditionary Force, William Fadel, came to the command of the United Nations forces at the Subic Naval Base to look for him, and after seeing George Abizah, William Faddell said with a relaxed face: "Very sorry, General George Abizha, I have been relieved of the position of Commander of the British Expeditionary Force by the British Ministry of Defense, and after the arrival of the new Commander of the British Expeditionary Force, I will return to the United Kingdom, hoping that the United Nations forces will be under the leadership of General George Abizah, Eliminate the Huaxing Association as soon as possible. ”

While William Faddell spoke, George Abiza even saw a look of joy in his eyes, it seemed that not only was he not optimistic about this war against Huaxinghui, but there were still many smart people.

George Abiza shrugged his shoulders and said: "I have no chance to fulfill General William Fadel's request, I have just received an order from Washington, the United States, that our General Lewis Black of the United States Army will take over the post of commander-in-chief of the United Nations forces, and I will also return to the United States." ”

William Faddell also saw the relief on George Abiza's face, so he smiled and said: "It seems that we are brothers and sisters, but this bad war is finally over for us." (To be continued.) )
