Chapter 737: The United States' Final Choice
In the Mediterranean, on the command ship of the US military, in a depressing atmosphere, no one dared to speak, only the voice of the telephone between the fleet commander and the Pentagon reached everyone's ears.
"Our side suffered more than 300 casualties, of which 290 were killed, more than 30 were seriously wounded, and two pilots were killed, but now the situation is under control, and our air force has eliminated the Syrian government forces in the area, and they probably have a regimental ......"
The intermittent voice came from the mouth of the commander, which was another shame for the US military.
With the air superiority that the United States has, it also has batches of air support, and it has also caused two or three hundred casualties, and even the rescue targets have died as a result, which has directly led to the fact that until now, the US military has not known why the ghost bomber suddenly crashed.
And the United States is facing another difficult problem, whether to continue this conflict, because the Syrian government army is coming over quickly, if it retreats, there is still 30 minutes of safe time, if it is late, it will encounter the Syrian government army again.
Moreover, Syria's current air supremacy is not something that can be easily won by relying on an aircraft carrier strike group and fighter jets from the surrounding US air bases.
Although the Raptor fighter is already in place, Syria also has fifth-generation aircraft, all of which are located in the Syrian government's T4 air base.
This base was originally a key target for the US military, but previous missile attacks on this air base were intercepted.
Syria's air force will support it at any time, and no one can say what the war will look like when the time comes.
At this time, the United States has two options, the first option is to simply expand the war in Syria, let the troops on the front line, hold their positions, attract more Syrian government forces to come, and then eliminate them.
The other option is to simply leave, withdraw all the troops, and not expand the matter.
And this matter is no longer something that he, the commander of the Central Theater of Operations, can decide, and needs to report to the Ministry of Defense and the president.
At this moment, Trump also gathered everyone to discuss the matter.
"There is no doubt that the information that came back from the battlefield was intervened by the people of the Future Technology Group." A staff officer of the Ministry of Defense, facing the bigwigs of the Ministry of Defense and Trump, pointed to the long-range tactical rockets on the data and said:
"This is a long-range tactical rocket of the Future Technology Group, and although it is a rocket, the range has exceeded the general process, whether it is range, accuracy and lethality, it is more advanced than our M270 tactical rocket.
That is, this long-range tactical rocket strike, so that our troops have suffered heavy losses, whether to expand the results in Syria, the first thing to consider is the extent to which the technology group will participate in the future. ”
"But even if we accuse the Future Technology Group of meddling, people will not admit it, because the Syrian government army has purchased a lot of weapons and equipment of the Future Technology Group, and this tactical rocket has also been purchased by the Syrian government."
"What worries now is that many instructors of the Future Technology Group are in the T4 aviation base, and if they take to the air to fight us in a fifth-generation aircraft, we may also suffer greater losses."
"But if we withdraw from Syria, how can we explain to the more than 200 soldiers who died, not to mention that we have the whole of Europe behind us, I have already passed the gas with NATO headquarters, except for Germany, other countries are willing to send troops to Syria."
"Now that a battalion of our Marine Corps has landed in Baniyas, we need to make a decision as soon as possible, and once the decision is made, the funds, troops and weapons must be in place as soon as possible."
"Once this war starts, it means that we will be at war with Future Technology Group in Syria, and don't forget that Future Military Resources has opened up employment rights to Syria and all Arab League member states."
"Not only that, but now the Future Technology Group is providing a large number of weapons and equipment to the Arab League countries for free, and each country has authorized hundreds of billions of dollars in interest-free credit loans, and all Arab League countries can use this credit loan to purchase weapons and equipment from the Future Technology Group."
"So going to war means that we risk being dragged in Syria by the Future Tech Group, and when the whole Middle East attacks Israel, we won't have the time and energy to provide actual military assistance to Israel."
"It's no longer a matter of thinking about Israel, and if we can get rid of the Future Technology Group, even if we sacrifice Israel, it will be worth it for us."
Everyone has expressed their opinions, Trump has been very quiet, watching the time in the conference room pass little by little, he is constantly weighing the pros and cons in his heart, seeing that the meeting has passed for ten minutes, he suddenly slapped the table and said:
"I will get Congress to agree to a full-scale military operation against Syria, so you must act now, and now that the fighting in Syria has begun, it must not stop, but I have one request, and that is that in the fighting in Syria, the casualties of soldiers must be controlled.
Two hundred and ninety have been killed today, and I hope that in the next battle, we must control the number of our deaths, and I hope that by the end of the war in Syria, the number of our soldiers will not exceed a thousand. ”
Hearing Trump's words, all the people present became serious one by one, and an all-out war began, which was somewhat unexpected by them, but at this time, they could not refuse Trump's order.
"Mr. President, once we encounter the troops of the Future Technology Group, I am afraid that the casualties will not be easy to control." Someone spoke.
When Trump heard this, he said: "So we need you to play the role of our allies, you know, we only help our allies and eliminate the threat from the Middle East world, so we should not be the main force in the war." ”
When it comes to the threat of the Middle East to Europe, Trump's every word can be a powerful word.
In fact, the threat to the Middle East world felt by Europe is because of the existence of the Arab League, the sudden monolithic situation in the Middle East, and the fact that the Middle East countries have received a large amount of weapons and equipment from the Future Technology Group, especially since the Middle East is now full of supercarriers, and Europe naturally feels tremendous pressure.
If the countries in the Middle East are in turmoil, there will be a problem of refugees in Europe, but if the Middle East is united and strong, the pressure on Europe's security will be very severe.
Therefore, for Europe, the Middle East can be peaceful, but it cannot be strong, let alone threatening.
