019 High Rollers
In the White House, President Belleven, who is on the verge of the end of his term, is anxious. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
A senior Pentagon official reported: "Air Force Brigadier General Cornell, who led to the San Francisco incident, has been suspended and investigated, and the military's recovery of the wreckage of the crashed fighter plane is almost complete." ā
Belevin nodded, he himself understood that Cornell was the scapegoat of the Pentagon and the White House in this matter, and he was to blame for something wrong. Because the order to shoot down the alien fighter was endorsed by President Bellevin and ordered by the Pentagon, Cornell was simply carrying out the order. It's just that he didn't complete this task, and it caused a series of extremely bad effects, so he had to deal with him.
NASA Administrator Knight also reported to Belleven: "It has been determined that the alien fleet originally located on the Sun has all come to Earth's low earth orbit. We don't have the ability to observe them in real time, so we can't accurately determine how long it took them to sail, but the most conservative estimates are that they took less than three minutes. This is our calculation from the time we lost our observations of targets near the Sun to the time we found them near the Earth, which is very inaccurate. But even then, they went on a faster-than-light voyage that subverted physics. ā
This situation also caused a fluctuation in NASA, and the technophils were amazed that faster-than-light travel was really possible, and some people couldn't help but be excited, if they could communicate with aliens about academics, they would certainly be able to make the earth's science and technology advance by leaps and bounds, and the level of understanding of the world would also be greatly deepened.
The premise is that the aliens have not destroyed the Earth.
Knight continued: "This fleet has gone from six ships to five ships, and we can't tell where one of them is going, but five ships alone has put a lot of pressure on us. In addition to the two largest ships, the smallest alien spacecraft is also larger than the Ford-class aircraft carriers that we have just built and launched. Since the alien ship does not move within our visual range, we can understand the movement (excluding faster-than-light travel), so we cannot judge its flexibility for the time being. It cannot be ruled out that, in addition to sailing faster than light, the other party's performance is not outstanding in short-distance movements. ā
Belevin was a little annoyed, and said, "Enough, I don't want to listen to your so-called optimistic speculation. Optimistic speculation led us to lose two of the United States' best warplanes in San Francisco, killing and wounding hundreds. We need to treat each other as if they were the most intractable crises humanity has ever faced. ā
Belevin is uninhibited, seems to be resolute and free-spirited, but in fact he is still a little indecisive. He asked, "Still can't get in touch with them, as long as you can communicate, things will be easier." ā
Knight shook his head: "The other party has not responded to all the communication signals we have sent, I don't know if they didn't receive it, or they can't understand it." ā
NASA expressed its willingness to make peace in its communications, San Francisco was kicked in the ass, and the Yankees did not dare to act rashly. But when five huge alien warships floated in outer space on Earth, the tension of the Americans rose again.
"The United Kingdom, France and other EU countries have expressed their desire to cooperate with us in this matter," Robinson said. ā
This meaning is translated into human words, in fact, it is based on the big brother of the United States. These countries are all developed countries, but they do not have the strength and influence to lead the overall situation, so they can only follow the United States.
Belevin also has a headache, he has more than two months to leave office, if this group of hapless aliens can come later, he won't have to have a headache, it's the turn of the, stupid Republican tycoon to worry about it. But I'm glad it's me, and if I change that guy who runs the train with his mouth, maybe the human race will really be finished.
Secretary of Defense Addington said: "The alien fleet is eyeing the enemy, and judging from the configuration, it is very likely that the other side is a war fleet engaged in purely military purposes, so the other side will definitely not be friendly when it comes to Earth." If aliens are allowed to attack the Earth first, we will suffer greater losses than the San Francisco incident, and human civilization will be destroyed in one fell swoop. I suggest that we launch an intensive nuclear attack on the alien fleet first, we have a sufficient number of nuclear bombs to attack this group of aliens in outer space, even if their technology is more advanced than ours, but in the face of nuclear bombs of this scale, they will inevitably be severely damaged. The United States has mobilized the forces and technology to deal with the situation. ā
Morse, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, also said: "The San Francisco incident is undoubtedly a test of alien force against our earth, we did not pass the test, and then the aliens who are relieved may intensify their aggression against us." Therefore, even if we do not have the ability to defeat the enemy completely, we must show the courage to die with the opponent and lose both. When the aliens know that the invasion of us will not outweigh the losses, not only will they not get a complete earth, but they will also lose a lot of money themselves, then they will have to retreat and even negotiate peace with us. ā
Belevin's eyes widened, looked at the two military representatives, and said: "You guys are gambling!" Gamble with the fate of the planet and the lives of billions of people. ā
"This is our last bargaining chip, and if we don't, we don't know what the consequences will be, slavery or destruction," Eddington sighed. ā
Belevin was at war and somewhat difficult to decide, and he asked: "Should we discuss it with our EU partners, the Russians and the Chinese?" ā
Morse said: "What's the use of discussing? They can't do anything other than they will cause us more trouble and make us miss the opportunity, these people don't have the strength to fight back against the aliens, and they can't even rule out stumbling on us in the process. This is a major decision for the future of humanity, and it is up to the United States of America, who leads the world, to make it. ā
At this moment, Belevin felt the glory and burden of being the "ruler of the world", and the high-ranking officials present did not want to continue to be passive, because no one could predict what the aliens would do next and what kind of damage they might cause to the Earth and the United States. Therefore, the first strike is strong, and then the first attack suffers. Use all the killer weapons of the United States to deter the adversary, so as to exchange for peace and negotiations.
It's no different from what Iridium thinks, and the Americans are also preparing to fight a battle to attack the heart. The tilt of the scales of victory is not determined by force and technology alone, but only by subjective expectations.
