Chapter 36 Playing with Skin
"I don't agree with Mr. Secretary of State."
Another objected: "Our scientists just told us that thing is an alien creature. It is home to more than ten non-earthly elements. So Mr. Secretary, can you tell me that the Eastern Camp got more than ten non-terrestrial elements from there to make this big guy? ”
"The war has just ended." He continued: "I admit it, we lost and we were at a disadvantage. But the attrition of the Eastern Camp is no small either. The pressure of the war on the economy and people's livelihoods has made both of us desperate to recuperate. We all refrained and did not use nuclear bombs, because we knew that it was self-destructive. So, what reason do they have to provoke another war shortly after it has ended? ”
When the other people heard this, they couldn't help but nod their heads, looking like they thought so.
Mr. President waved his hand: "I'm pretty sure it's not the Eastern bloc that's doing something. ”
As he spoke, he picked up a document on his desk and handed it to the nearest secretary of state: "Let's take a look." ”
The Secretary of State took the document, flipped through it, and frowned. He handed the document to the next one and said, "So, the Eastern camp has long been aware?" ”
Mr. President said: "Yes, they have already noticed. ”
"Ill-intentioned." "They knew about it, but they're telling us now," the secretary said. Our Los Angeles Economic District has been devastated, and they..."
The president was expressionless: "Please don't be so immature, Mr. Secretary of State." If it were me, I knew about the alien invasion in advance, and I wouldn't have said it. If the Pearl River Delta Economic Zone in the Eastern Bloc were to suffer such a blow, I would be happy to see it happen. ”
The Secretary of State paused, then shrugged: "Okay." ”
At this time, several important personnel read the information in turn, which only talked about a dozen sentences.
"So, their previous announcement of establishing bases on Hong Kong Island and Philippine Island is a move to deal with the alien invasion in advance?"
"That's how it should be." The Minister of Defense said thoughtfully: "During this time, the maglev troops of the Eastern Camp have often wandered in the central region of the Pacific Ocean, probably because of alien invasions. ”
The president took back the information and pressed his finger on it: "Obviously. They say that aliens have opened a space passage to the bottom of the ocean in the central region of the Pacific Ocean. But now the question is what to do. ”
"This is not a matter for the United States alone, nor for the Western camp, but for the entire planet," the secretary said. We should ask the Eastern Bloc for all the relevant information and hold them accountable for the destruction of Los Angeles! ”
The president glanced at him: "You have a brain watt?" Thought it was pre-war? Mr. Secretary, the most we can ask them for is the most they can do, and much more is simply not possible. ”
He sighed: "The army must be ready for everything. Tell our allies, especially those in the Pacific Rim, to be on the lookout. ”
After a pause: "I plan to convene the first post-war United Nations General Assembly to discuss this matter in detail. ”
"Do you need to inform the Eastern Bloc?" The Secretary of State asked another stupid question.
"Mr. Secretary, you just said that this is not our family's business, don't you understand?" The president was furious.
The United Nations General Assembly was convened in Washington, D.C., three days later.
It was the first meeting of all the nations of the world to come together after three years of war.
Compared to the era before the formation of the Eastern and Western blocs, the UN General Assembly at this time was clearly divided. The representatives of the two camps were on one side, blowing their beards and glaring.
As the initiator, the representative of the United States spoke first.
"As the world's number one country and the leader of the planet, the United States has a responsibility to protect the planet. And so it is, we paid for the Los Angeles Economic District, getting first-hand information about the alien invasion. ”
The representative of the United States said shamelessly: "The site of the alien invasion is in the underwater area in the center of the Pacific Ocean..."
"I'll interrupt."
The representative of the Celestial Empire of the Eastern Camp stood up and said: "The information of the US government is not detailed, because we only routinely inform them. Mr. James, please come down and let me popularize alien invasions for the nations of the world. ”
The representatives of the countries of the Eastern Bloc burst into laughter.
The American representative, James, had his cheeky face turned upside down, and his expression remained unchanged: "Of course, of course you have to speak. But before you speak, I must say that because of your egregious behavior, which has devastated tens of millions of people in the Los Angeles area, you must give an explanation and pay compensation. ”
The spokesman of the Celestial Empire scoffed, "Shameless. ”
He walked up, pushed James aside, faced everyone, and said, "The United States is no longer able to shoulder the responsibility of leading the planet. Whether it is at the level of science and technology, or military, economic and other aspects, we have comprehensively surpassed. At a time when Americans are ignorant, we have discovered the possibility of an alien invasion and have made every possible preparation for it. And at the first time, the news of the alien invasion was conveyed to the West Palace of the United States. ”
After a pause, he said, "The disaster in the Los Angeles area was not caused by us. The first culprit is alien biological weapons, and the second culprit is the US government. We had long ago brought the news of a possible alien invasion to them, but they turned a blind eye and did not react to it. So I would say that this is self-inflicted. ”
That's right, the information in the hands of the President of the United States was three months ago.
When the Celestial Empire learned that there was going to be an 'alien invasion', it officially notified the United States of the news. But it is clear that the United States is not taking it seriously.
They believe that this is a conspiracy of the Eastern camp, just like the space hegemony between the United States and the Soviet Union at the beginning - concocting the so-called false news and false information about the moon landing, inducing the Soviet Union to devote its energy to the space military race.
So they ignored the possibility of this message. It's just that when the Eastern Camp was setting up a base, he pretended to follow up.
The UN General Assembly ended in a quarrel, and in the end, the two camps failed to reach a cooperation. At the end of the day, it's all about playing its own way.
For such an outcome, the Eastern camp is psychologically prepared.
It was under such circumstances that a second alien biological weapon appeared. This time, the alien biological weapon attacked the country of the Western camp - Australia, and the location was Sydney.
Australia is a country that is the hardcore little brother of the United States. However, the country is not very strong, both militarily and economically.
After the establishment of the Nanyang Republic, the country was firmly suppressed, and the Nanyang Republic rode on the head to pee, and even half of the country's mineral assets were controlled by the Nanyang Republic.
When the monster attacked Sydney, Australia was prepared, but it was clear that their preparation was not helpful.
On the premise that we cannot use strong weapons of destruction, we can only retreat one after another. Fortunately, most of Sydney's population has been evacuated, and ordinary people have suffered much less disaster than Los Angeles.
