Chapter 154
With Jab's departure, the atmosphere has become quieter now. Everyone sat there silently www.biquge.info did not speak, until five or six minutes had passed, when Pierre looked at them and said, "You may not know that when I was a teenager, I was addicted to gambling. At that time, I believed in bringing wealth to myself quickly, and I felt that wealth was prepared by God for those specific people, and although God was willing to give it to us, it required us to take risks, but to my family's anxiety and my anxiety, I never won money since I gambled. ”
"It was my father's sudden death, and that car accident made me suddenly realize that it was a big mistake. I took over everything my father left me and started from scratch in the family business. I was so busy with business that I haven't been in a casino since my father died, and of course I've opened casinos in Las Vegas and Miami, but I haven't gambled again. I didn't rely on gambling to accumulate wealth, but that doesn't mean I don't have more money at my disposal. Although I quit gambling and now have more wealth, and that wealth is legal, I would say that now, here, everything we do for the good of our country and for our personal benefit may have caused us trouble from the beginning. We've invested in a high-speed killing machine that could turn its guns on us at any moment, and what's worse is that there's nothing we can do about it anymore. The technology we have now is no match for him, unless, of course, we have to pay more lives for it. With that, Pierre left his seat and walked to the window and exhaled deeply.
Wren-Johnson heard Pierre's somewhat lost description, sat there and thought for a moment, then took up the conversation and said, "Mr. Senate, perhaps for historical reasons, none of this is your fault. More than 300 years have passed since we confirmed the exact time of the alien visit to Earth. Of course, when our ancestors found those spaceships, they knew that these aliens had advanced cultural and technological strength, and that was a civilization that was extremely asymmetrical with the civilization of the earth. Although at that time we did not know the purpose of these aliens' mysterious visit to Earth, in terms of civilizational gap, perhaps from the moment they discovered the blue planet, they would have the power to dominate everything here. For hundreds or even thousands of years, what we can do as human beings may be to wait for the judgment of fate. In this sense, these aliens have done nothing to us in the past, and now I believe that their arrival is not necessarily ill will. ”
Hearing Wren's speech, Carter picked up the conversation and said lightly: "Mr. Wren, although you are right, there is one thing you should not forget, the earth's resources have been depleted. In about 300 years, with the birth of industrial civilization, human plundering of the earth's resources has surpassed the sum from the birth of human beings to the birth of industrial civilization, of course, I would say that it is even more than the sum, this ratio is basically 99 percent to one. I mean, our resources are being depleted day by day, and the rate of this plundering of resources is accelerating as civilization is so high. What I want to say is that aliens are much more advanced than our civilization, and I believe that if they use Earth as their backyard, then competing with us for resources may be the bare minimum. ”
Listening to Carter and Wren's speeches, Rogge, the director of the three divisions sitting on the side, immediately said: "The two gentlemen are right, I remember that Pierre once put a top-secret file that Chen Xinyao has developed seawater fuel in the archives, I think if Mr. Chen Xinyao is an earth's messenger, since he can easily develop seawater fuel, then this is dangerous for the water-themed earth." ”
Hearing the crowd's comments, President Forts sat down in his seat and stretched. After taking a sip of Blue Mountain coffee, he smiled and said: "Mr. Pierre's meaning may have been misunderstood, but he actually wanted to say that meeting someone like Chen Xinyao may be our inevitable result." Our ancestors have been waiting for such a meeting, from the frescoes of the Egyptian pyramids, from the dungeons of Eastern civilizations, from our Easter Island in the Pacific Ocean, and of course from the two ships sent to us by the aliens. For thousands of years, we have been carefully preparing for such a meeting. Our children dream of making friends with aliens, adults dream of being guests at aliens' homes, politicians dream of negotiating interests and politics with aliens, and of course military strategists dream of Star Wars. All this shows that our team has something to look forward to, and of course there is something to fear. We don't know exactly what Harry's death was, and of course his death was before we learned that he was an Earthemissary. We didn't do it, and we didn't find the answer from our friends on the other side of the continent. Now I want to say that for the sake of the future of our children, we must not wage war, war is terrible, and it is not such a war with a very asymmetrical level of technology. I read the information about Chen Xinyao's military operations in Tuping Island, the Golden Triangle and Egypt, of course, now that we are proud of the sea aircraft carrier, we have also decommissioned, and the aircraft we use is a rapid response aircraft made by the Australian OTWC company, this kind of aircraft can fly all over the world in an hour, the whole world is using it, we can't make it ourselves, so we have to use it. I think the most important thing now is that we have to peacefully resolve the crisis that we are facing, even though we are in a passive state, and maybe this passive state will continue forever. Of course, I also know that this kind of passivity has been on this planet for thousands of years, and our misfortune is that we now see these alien ships with our own eyes, including the so-called Earth emissaries. But for the war, I can only tell the children now that once the war starts, I will choose to surrender on behalf of the Americans. That's what I'm saying, today's meeting will be in the archives, and none of you can make any records. With that, President Forness took the coffee from the table and poured the rest of the coffee into his mouth.
Listening to the president's statement, everyone present lowered their heads in frustration. Seeing that everyone was no longer speaking, Secretary of State Maury Chavins, who was sitting next to Pierre, broke the silence and looked at the president and said, "Since we have no solution to what is happening now, then I agree with you. But there is one thing I would like to ask you to approve of our plan. Here's the thing, we have supported a reactionary armed government in the middle of Africa, and they have used the advanced weapons that we have provided to them, including of course the best weapons that we have made ourselves, and we have helped these people to gain power in their countries, but in recent years, especially last year and this year, these people have suddenly launched armed aggression against their neighbours. They carried out armed aggression against the mining areas, oil-producing areas of the neighboring countries, which had an extremely negative effect on us politically. The envoy we sent out this year was fed by them to the crocodiles in the swamp, so we had to act. Now I want to say that since we are powerless to do anything about Chen Xinyao's existence, as a matter of the Ministry of Defense's assessment of the war, I ask Mr. President to let Chen Xinyao's side cooperate with us in suppressing this political force. In this way, we can make a comprehensive assessment of the military strike forces at the disposal of Chen Xinyao and them. While I know that surrender may be the best option, we must also be prepared. Otherwise, when surrender turns into ridicule, or even slaughter, then we will be sorry for our children. ”
Listening to Maury's suggestion, Forness nodded. After a moment of silence, President Fornes continued: "In that case, Monsieur Pierre and Al-Smith are working together with Murray on Africa. This month's trips are all cancelled, I'm going on vacation, I'm going to have to think about our outside, maybe today is going to be a difficult day for me. Okay, that's all, let's adjourn for now. With that, President Forness was the first to get up and walk out of the conference room.
