The newly appointed director of the CIA handed over an urgent piece of information to President O'Guanhai and explained: "According to the information obtained by our intelligence officers in Australia, another group of cargo ships loaded with equipment to support Ampai has left Melbourne and is destined for Iraq. ”

Ao Guanhai took a quick look: "The credibility of the intelligence? ”

Herbert said in an affirmative tone: "Our people bought the workers who loaded and counted the goods, and got the loading list, which listed a batch of petrochemical equipment, but in fact, they used this pretext to secretly transport military equipment many times. ”

"Can you be sure so?" Because he is about to attack the freighter of his allies, if he is not completely sure, Okukanhai does not like to take risks and offend people. Moreover, this is the end of his term.

"The person who was bought was able to prove that he had seen the actual delivery of equipment under the pretext of chemical equipment. Recently, the situation around Saudi Arabia has become serious, and the Anpai armed forces are facing multiple threats from Saudi Arabia, and they are in particular in need of anti-aircraft weapons. I deduced that there must have been anti-aircraft missiles in this batch of goods that destroyed the Saudi Air Force. ”

"Taking a few steps back, there have been a lot of new weapons in the Middle East recently, including the mysterious hypersonic vehicle, the individual exoskeleton photographed by intelligence officers, and the suspected new phased array radar, all of which are urgently needed in the region right now."

Herbert wanted the president to agree to intervene, and as intelligence chief, he knew how critical these military technologies would be to the United States if they succeeded. In the situation where the Anonymous Party was born, the technological advantage in the hands of the United States ...... There is not much left.

In order to defend its world hegemony, the United States can only make surprising moves, on the one hand, to acquire technology, and on the other hand, to block the possibility of strengthening its power in the Middle East.

O'Guanhai convened a cabinet to discuss the matter.

There are both those who agree and those who do not agree to take risks, and consent is naturally a great benefit; What disagrees is that it is considered a provocation to allies, to mysterious forces.

The Secretary of State said: "This will first of all provoke the resentment of Australia, and it will appear that we have disrespected our allies and blatantly interfered in their internal affairs; Second, if there really is such advanced technology, have you ever wondered who it belongs to? ”

Herbert objected: "We can communicate with the Australian government in advance and let them cooperate in this matter and be more open-minded." In response to your second concern, even Anonymous can openly confront the world? ”

The secretary of state disagreed: "I don't recommend provoking this mysterious organization, you have to make sure that the benefits are large enough, otherwise Japan will be a bloody lesson." ”

Herbert immediately followed: "Isn't it worth the risk that so many advanced, anonymous parties have not put on the technology?" I would also like to emphasize that the United States is still the most militarily powerful country in the world! With nuclear bombs in their hands that can make the whole world play out, once we are in a hurry, do you think we dare to fight with them alone? ”

As soon as the Secretary of State was about to speak, Herbert interrupted him unceremoniously: "Finally, we are not sure whether they are Anonymous or not. Gentlemen, what are you afraid of? When will the mighty United States come to this point? ”

The argument continued, and people's eyes looked at Okukanhai.

After thinking about it, he also made a decision: "This is indeed a key opportunity for us, the advantage of the United States is being lost, and we are already in a difficult situation, and we can only look for a breakthrough!" ”

Once the president has made his decision, the next step is to focus on how to implement it.

Ao Guanhai has a direct question: "That company has strong capital and political connections behind it, how can we communicate with our allies?" ”

The chief of staff gave advice: "In the name of dangerous materials, we should emphasize the consistency of the US and Australian camps and the interests of the alliance, and we cannot lose the big because of the small." ”

Ao Guanhai nodded: "Give me the phone number of the Australian Prime Minister." ”

……

The container-laden ship Fox, which has been on sail for six days, will cross the Indian Ocean to the Persian Gulf, with no stops on the way and all cargo destinations in Iraq.

The route is clear, the mission is clear, and for all the crew, including the captain, it is just another ordinary job, surviving the monotonous days on the sea, and then counting the allowances in hand.

Since a major consortium bought the underperforming shipping company, the crew has finally been treated better, especially for missions to the Persian Gulf, where the subsidy will be higher than usual.

I was glad to meet the crew of a good company, but I didn't expect that this peaceful journey would soon encounter a well-planned conspiracy and a bunch of prey who stepped into the trap.

Suddenly, the voice of the first mate interrupted the captain who was in his sleep: "Captain! A sailing ship appeared at eight o'clock, as if it were a warship? ”

"Warship?" The captain was puzzled, stood up and looked through the binoculars, and was indeed able to see the gray painted warship.

"It seems to be American." The first mate said.

"The Americans and we are allies, rest assured." The captain said that for him who had been sailing for many years, it was not strange to come across a warship, as long as he was not a pirate, everything was good.

It's just that the next radio shout made everyone wonder: "Fox, this is the US Navy XX!" Now I ask you, slow down! ”

The captain questioned, but complied: "This is the Fox, RECEIVED!" ”

Soon, two U.S. warships approached, and the anti-submarine helicopter flew over the freighter first, hovering, and using camera equipment to record the ship.

"What are they doing?" The crew looked up at the sky in confusion.

"I don't know." Sensing something was wrong, the captain picked up the radio and tried to contact Australia's maritime authorities.

But at this time, the request of the US military came again: "Fox, please cooperate with the inspection requirements immediately, stop the ship on the spot and anchor, repeat, stop the ship on the spot and anchor!" ”

Such a large ship didn't stop at sea, and the captain asked, "What the hell is going on?" We are an Australian merchant ship with legal procedures, and you have interfered with the freedom of navigation on the high seas! ”

The U.S. warship was aggressive: "Again, stop the ship and anchor on the spot!" If you do not fulfill your orders, we will use military means to force you to stop your ship! ”

The U.S. helicopter lowered its altitude, and one could see the weapons in the hands of the soldiers above, and some of the muzzles were even aimed at the ships.

"Captain, they're going to play for real!" The rest of the crew communicates with infinity.

"Do what they say." The captain decided.

After all, it is an ordinary civilian, and in the face of the guns of the US military, they have to give in.

The reluctant captain contacted the Australian maritime department, and the freighter was only 400 nautical miles away from the west coast of Australia, and it was not far away.

The Australian maritime department was informed of the news, but also received orders from the government to send warships to negotiate - nominally. As a matter of fact, the Australian prime minister did not dare to disobey the US demand at all, and could only cooperate.

In this way, the huge Fox freighter was forced to stop broadcasting in the middle of the deep sea, isolated and helpless.

U.S. Marines, who were constantly abpelling from helicopters to board the ship, further controlled the freighter, including placing the captain under house arrest in disguise and keeping them away from the bridge.

……

The news that the Fox was seized by the US military on the high seas was transmitted back home.

The consortium controls a number of authoritative media outlets, and as soon as the news is confirmed, it immediately starts to cover everything from the fastest Internet access, to TV news, and finally to print newspapers.

The carefree Australian people have learned this shocking news from the social network - the Americans actually seized a merchant ship of their country for no reason?

The news media unanimously emphasized "the arrogant threat of the Americans," "the obstruction of the freedom of navigation of merchant ships," "the illegal detention of the crew by the U.S. military," and so on.

This group of uncrowned kings almost described Americans as "pirates", and the consortium that controls the power of media discourse completely controls the trend of public opinion, and spreads uninterruptedly and rhythmically.

Subsequently, the Australian government officially issued its attitude, stating that the main cause of the incident was the suspicion of arms smuggling on the cargo ship, and the Australian maritime department will also participate in the investigation.

But the government's explanations were ignored by the media, and the news was placed in the most inconspicuous place, and their words could not be seen without a magnifying glass.

The statement of the company to which the goods belong is highlighted.

The company's representative was resolute: "The merchant ships are carrying oil refining and chemical equipment from oil companies in Iraq, and there are no weapons and equipment that are not in existence!" And the relevant commodity inspection is strictly approved by the Australian government department! ”

The media immediately disseminated and interpreted this point of view.

Media people and public intellectuals counted the dollars and understood these words for everyone: the US military is just making trouble without reason, and the capitalists behind the scenes intend to attack their opponents.

The Australian government is weak and incompetent, and it is completely unable to protect the merchant ships of its own national enterprises, and can only treat the Americans as grandchildren.

At this important moment, our merchant ships did not feel the slightest concern of their own government, but indifferently shirked their responsibilities and allowed foreign barbarians to humiliate.

and so on, the Internet is overwhelming.

The consortium that has the power of media opinion interprets the events exactly according to their meaning, fully embodying the characteristics of "free world, free discourse".

These "truths" that fanned the flames successfully ignited the discontent of the domestic people.
