Chapter 118: The situation deteriorates
The White House, Office of the President.
President Palmer had a dark face, and he was in a very bad mood right now, and anyone who was cocked up for a meeting in the middle of the night while he was asleep probably wouldn't be in a good mood, especially when he knew that the matter was urgent, but the staff had not been able to agree on it, and his mood was even worse.
"All right, guys." Palmer propped his chin on his hands, looked at the staff and said, "We have to be sure of one thing first, that is, if we don't intervene for the time being, will the situation get out of control?" β
"Mr. President." "We have a Japan-US security treaty with Japan back in 1951, so we have this position to help Japan confront China, otherwise we will lose credibility internationally," an adviser said. With all due respect, Mr. President, if the U.S. government loses its integrity, it will be very bad, perhaps destructive, to the government and to you personally. β
"Oh, come on." Another aide who objected to him couldn't help but interject: "Don't forget that China now holds two trillion dollars of foreign debt from the United States, and if we don't think about the consequences and directly anger China, China doesn't even need to do anything, as long as it reveals the slightest hint that it is going to sell dollars, we will have to spend 36 or more dollars when we go to buy a bottle of Coke the day after tomorrow, which is also ruinous." β
"But the Japan-US security treaty concerns the international image of the US government, and we cannot afford to lose our integrity." The adviser said excitedly: "A government without integrity is not trustworthy, our losses will be beyond imagination, it takes decades or hundreds of years to build trust and maintain trust, but it only takes a moment to destroy trust." If we ignore the treaty, we will surely lose the votes of the people. β
"But if people find out that what they could have bought for a dollar now costs ten dollars, we will lose their support now, immediately, immediately, and we don't even have to wait until the next presidential election."
"But we have enough power to recover that loss, and we can buy those dollars ourselves."
"Yes, we can buy it ourselves, but don't forget that other people who hold foreign debt in the United States, those vampires will not hesitate to follow the Chinese to attack us, and that will make all the wealth created by the United States in the past twenty years disappear." Boom! The staff member made a flowering gesture with both hands and said, "That's it, and then the money is gone, and we have to spend hundreds of billions to recover this part of the loss, are you sure you want to do this?" β
"The question is that if we ignore the Japan-US security treaty, the consequences will be the same, or even more severe, and honesty is the foundation of the United States, can we throw away integrity? Just for the money? And then we will face a disintegrating America? Who can be sure? β
In the East China Sea, Xia Yu could not know what was happening in the White House of the United States, thousands of miles away, and even if he did, he didn't care at all, he was just vigilantly watching the situation in the air now to avoid being attacked by others for a second time.
The Thunderbolt-12 air-to-air missile fired at Noda had broken away from the carrier aircraft's radar guidance and began to pursue Noda with its own radar seeker.
βγ°γγͺοΌ γγγγͺγοΌ How is it possible, this can't be! Noda Gen shouted: "δΏΊγ―η΅Άε―Ύγ«θ² γγγγͺγγγ γη΅Άε―Ύγ«θ² γγͺγ!" I'm definitely not going to lose, absolutely. β
The warning radar beeped non-stop, Noda Gen tried his best to pull up the plane, trying to use a sharp turn to shake off the missile attack, "bang bang bang", F2 began to continuously throw decoy bombs, wanting to use the high heat of the decoy bomb and the radar reflection cross section to deceive the air-to-air missile, but because the F2 itself is too close to the Thunderbolt 12, the RCS of the F2 fuselage, that is, the reflection cross section of the radar has reached 3 here in the Thunderbolt 12, and it is impossible to get rid of it at all.
"Ahhhh With the rapid sound of warning radar in the cockpit, Noda Gen shouted loudly, he controlled the F2 to do the maximum angle of attack evasion maneuver, Noda Gen's whole person was pulled by the huge overload force, making his face become like a melted wax figure, and all the facial muscles were turned to the side, twisted to the like a human being.
"Noda!" Kazuki Koda exclaimed, he could clearly see the trajectory of the missile and the plane in the distance, and many years of experience in flight and training told him that Noda Gen could not avoid the attack of the missile at all, so Kazuki Koda shouted on the radio: "Jump quickly, Noda!" β
"All right, gentlemen, be quiet for a while, and listen to me." President Palmer rubbed his temples and frowned, saying, "Regarding integrity, I don't think there's anything to talk about about it, we can't break our promises." But in the same way, it is not in the interests of the United States to provoke China now, and we cannot lightly use force against China unless necessary. β
"Now, we have to establish a precondition that Japan and China cannot be allowed to go to war, and this situation will never allow it to happen." "I don't want the Japanese to pull us down, so we have to keep the situation under control, do you have any objections?" β
"No objection, Mr. President." XN
"OK, now that this has been determined, what we need to discuss now is when we need to actively intervene in the situation." Palmer looked at everyone in the office and said, "Don't let me finish everything, you are my staff, you must come up with a plan for me, all kinds of plans, I don't want any accidents to go wrong." So, gentlemen, I need you to get me in place as quickly as possible, understand? β
"We understand, Mr. President."
"OK, let's get to work." Palmer clapped his hands, stood up, turned to the side and said to the homeland security adviser, "Tony, I need an emergency plan for the situation to get out of control, including a possible war with China, I want you to do it yourself, I trust you, Tony." β
Tony nodded and said, "I'll do it myself, Mr. President." β
"Thank you very much." Palmer looked at Tony and nodded, then turned to a Foreign Ministry official and said, "Help me contact Japan, I need to put a little pressure on them." It seems that Japan's right-wing forces have seized too much power in the government, and we have to find a way to rebalance it. β
It is estimated that President Palmer could not have imagined that he did not wait for his staff to submit the emergency plan, because at this time of his meeting, Noda Gen not only left the retreating flight formation without permission, but also launched an attack on the Chinese carrier-based aircraft without authorization, and most importantly, his autonomous behavior has been the most fierce counterattack by the Chinese carrier-based aircraft.
"I can get out of the way!" Gen Noda tried his best to resist the overload of the high G and shouted, "I can avoid ......"
"No!" Kazuki Koda screamed, Noda Gen's F2 fighter jet was in front of his eyes, and was blown into a fireball by volley, and Noda Gen, who refused to parachute, also went to download with a long flame along with the wreckage of his plane.
"Noda, Noda, skydive, hurry up and give me a skydive!" Seeing that the huge wreckage was falling, Kazuki Kazuda also hoped that Noda Gen was not injured by the explosion of the missile, and he could consciously eject and escape, but Kazuki Koda was soon disappointed, knowing that all the fragments of the F2 fighter had fallen into the sea, and he did not see Noda Gen parachuting. Kazuki Koda knew that Gen Noda was dead.
"Damn!" Kazuki Kazuda had red eyes, turned his head to stare at the J-15 that had already been able to see with a missile, and said viciously: "All planes listen, this is my order, give it to me, attack!" β
