United States, White House.

President Roma, Secretary of State Madison, Secretary of Defense Admiral Hill, National Security Advisor Chris, and many other high-ranking figures gathered, all with solemn expressions, and the atmosphere in the entire conference room was depressed, all shocked by the news from the battlefield in Afghanistan.

McLaughlin felt very unlucky, he had just become the acting director of the CIA last week, and suddenly such a big thing happened, and at this moment he could only use a pitiful intelligence information to report the intelligence information of the entire Afghan battlefield in as much detail as possible.

"As we all know, Afghanistan's geographical location is in the center of the Asian continent, is an important part of our containment of Russia and China, strategic significance is very significant, related to the global military strategy of the United States, now, with the resurgence of the Taliban and Karzai's betrayal, although we have found a new partner, but the current situation, is undergoing subtle changes. We are becoming more and more passive, and we don't want to admit it, but we have to admit it. McLaurin said bitterly.

"What I want to know more is why the Dark Star sent warplanes into Afghanistan and the CIA didn't get the slightest message? With such a big mistake, are all the CIA intelligence officers eating? President Rohm asked rudely, apparently losing patience and not wanting to listen to McLaughlin's nonsense. Maybe he understands that this is not to blame on Mike Laughlin, after all, the other party has just taken over the power of the CIA, and the relationship has not yet been smoothed out, so how can it continue to operate normally and efficiently. But President Roma can't do that much.

If something goes wrong, someone has to come out of the top cylinder.

And the most appropriate Mo is about Mike Laurin, who is in charge of intelligence gathering!

That's politics.

Everyone else sat on the sidelines and listened attentively, after hearing President Roma's words. Everybody is clear. Perhaps the shortest-lived CIA director in the history of the United States is about to be born in front of them. From the beginning of the job to the end of the class, it only takes a week, and it is really in a hurry.

Everyone sympathized with Mike Laughlin...... But it's just sympathy.

"Guys, I'm sorry. Previously, the CIA's main focus was on cracking down on the Galaxy Group and seizing the voice intelligent operating system technology, and it relaxed its vigilance against the dark star. McLaurin said, and then handed out a few more pieces of information, "Actually, when the Dark Star fighter took off, we sent back information. It's just that at the beginning, the CIA and the military thought that the dark star and the Huaxia military were trading fighter planes, and they didn't think that the dark star would directly send fighters to Afghanistan for a long distance. ”

"The Huaxia military and Darkstar are indeed carrying out a large number of arms reception work, so it caused a miscalculation." Admiral Hill replied.

If you want to say that McClairing was the first to stand up to the top cylinder, then Admiral Hill, as the Minister of Defense, will inevitably be unable to escape responsibility for such a big thing as the shooting down of the B2 strategic bomber, and it is a doomed thing to get out of class, the difference is to get out of class immediately or leave with dignity after solving the impact of the incident.

Of course.

Any normal person would be willing to choose the latter.

"Mr. President, there is no need to say much about the determination of responsibility, and now we should think about how to explain to the people in the United States. Since the birth of the B2 strategic bomber, it has been criticized for its high cost. However, because of its super combat ability, it was able to survive, and it was slowly regarded as the god of war by the people. But now the sudden downing of two B2 strategic bombers by the enemy at once may cause panic. ”

"Moreover, the B2 strategic bomber is one of our cutting-edge weapons to deter countries around the world, and the possible chain reaction after this shot down may be difficult to eliminate in a short period of time, and the United States' military supremacy in the world may be challenged by Russia and China. In addition, our European partners are not as peaceful as they seem. The National Security Adviser said slowly.

Silent.

Everybody knows what that means.

Perhaps the downing of the B2 strategic bomber was a trigger for the decline of the United States, and once it was not handled properly, the bad consequences caused by it would be unbearable for everyone here.

As a political elite in the United States, I naturally understand the truth.

In the past, when the United States in its heyday had its interests infringed upon in any region of the world, the first thing that came to mind was the natural aircraft carrier, clamoring for a solution by force, in the name of protecting US security interests. Now it is afraid of the wolf in the front row and the tiger in the back, looking ahead and looking backwards, which also reflects the decline of the United States from the side.

……

The meeting has been going on.

In a solemn atmosphere, everyone quarreled, discussed fiercely, discussed the response plan, and quickly came up with follow-up actions.

First of all.

President Roma delivered a nationally televised speech directly through the White House conference room, announcing to the people of the whole country what was happening on the battlefield in Afghanistan, especially the fact that the Dark Star colluded with Karzai to attack the US military and destroy two US B2 strategic bombers and 14 F22 Raptor fighters, which has seriously threatened the security interests of the United States. In the end, Rohm pledged to retaliate as quickly as possible.

Wow.

The F22 Raptor fighter, the world's most advanced multi-purpose stealth fighter, was actually shot down by an organization that had never heard of it. And even the B2 strategic bomber lost two.

The American people were shocked.

At the same time, the news media of various countries immediately reprinted the US president's speech in their own media, and all major news websites made headlines.

Overnight.

Darkstar has leapt from an obscure underground organization to a world-renowned existence.

In fact, this is also the result of the deliberate efforts of the United States, which intends to put the dark star in the spotlight as it did with bin Laden, and then lead a war on terror to reshape the hegemonic image of the United States.

End of speech.

President Rohm and others discussed putting pressure on Huaxia again, and when they learned that the Shadow Star fighter plane passed through Huaxia's airspace, their first reaction was anger and wanted revenge. But now that the United States is suffering from internal and external troubles, the battlefield in Afghanistan has become a mess, and it is powerless to entangle with China, and it is even more afraid of attracting China to intervene.

"Does Huaxia have anything to do with Karzai?" Röhm asked in a deep voice.

Everyone understands what President Roma meant, if Karzai has the support of China behind him, then the United States will be in big trouble. Of course, if it's only related to dark stars. No matter how terrible the dark star is. He is just an organization, no matter how strong he is, how can he be stronger than the United States.

"According to the investigation of our intelligence officers, it should have nothing to do with the Chinese government, on the contrary, from Karzai and the Taliban secretly signing a peace agreement behind our backs, to Karzai's defection, and even to today's de facto independence in the northwest, they are all inseparable from the dark star. In fact. Whether it is the resurgence of the Taliban or Karzai, their armed forces are all powered by Darkside, and in addition, we have received uncertain information that Darkstar may have a team of instructors training troops for Karzai. McLaughlin said.

It's okay, it's fine.

Hearing McLaurlin's words, President Rohm finally breathed a sigh of relief. "It's not time to make enemies with the Huaxia government, but we must stop the Dark Star from sending arms to Afghanistan through Huaxia's airspace, and we must put enough pressure on Huaxia to make them understand our anger. But don't go overboard......"

After speaking.

President Roma was aggrieved.

I have been dealing with Huaxia for many years. It's always been strong, and suddenly there is a reversal of the situation. Naturally, it is extremely unpleasant.

"Well, this is a bit difficult to do, because of the problem of the Thai garrison before, our relationship with the Huaxia government has been in a delicate tense state, this time we want to successfully achieve the goal I am afraid it is not so simple, besides, the Huaxia military is cooperating with the dark star, to be precise, the Chinese military has a request for the dark star, at this time it is basically impossible to offend the dark star for the sake of the United States." McLaurin said.

"Hmm."

Everyone else couldn't help but nod their heads slightly in agreement with McLaulin's words.

Now.

The competition between the United States and China is getting stronger and stronger, and the United States has always relied on absolute military strength to suppress Huaxia, and if there is a chance, it would be good for Huaxia not to fall into the ground, and it is simply a fool's dream to want Huaxia to help the United States maintain its hegemony.

"I'll try to convince them." Secretary Madison said.

……

……

……

"Mr. President, I plan to go to Afghanistan to find out the details in person, in addition, according to intelligence analysis, the fighter sent by the Dark Star is also an F22 Raptor fighter, and its performance is much more powerful than the genuine fighter of the United States. Our Air Force is at a disadvantage......" Admiral Hill said in a deep voice.

Said here.

Admiral Hill is indeed very unwilling, all along, the sea and the sky have been dominated by the US military, and no one has ever shaken the status of the US military. This time, the U.S. F22 Raptor fighter squadron was wiped out, and Admiral Hill had a hard time accepting such a result, so he had to go to Afghanistan to find out the situation.

"Whether it's a coincidence, or ......" Hill didn't say the latter words, but he believed everyone knew what it was, "To be on the safe side, I recommend suspending Operation Lightningstorm and increasing the deployment of air defense in the Afghan theater." And at present, the Karzai rebels and the Shadow Star forces are still in control of the Fazabad air base, and we must blow up this air base at all costs. It is better to strike saturation with cruise missiles ......"

“……”

Everyone was speechless, and they all looked at President Roma, waiting for the other to come up with an idea. It has to be said that Admiral Hill's proposal is very sound, but it must be approved by the president.

"Admiral Hill, are you saying that our air force can't compete with the Shadow Star Air Force?" President Rohm asked incredulously, saying that this seemed like a safe approach, but it was actually a fear of going head-to-head with the Shadow Star Air Force.

"Well, Mr. President, I didn't say that."

Admiral Hill hurriedly denied it, but added as soon as his voice changed, "But the war situation in Afghanistan has to make us think more, just in case...... I mean, if the Dark Star Air Force is really stronger than we expected, the arrogant decision will cost us more, and we must be prepared for all kinds of things before anything happens. ”

"Yes, I agree with Admiral Hill. Mr. President, perhaps we have always underestimated the Dark Star Organization, and he may be a stronger and more formidable opponent than bin Laden! We must pay attention. ”

……

Now.

Not to mention the emergency meetings that are taking place inside the White House.

Karzai, who was hiding in the old forests deep in the mountains of Afghanistan, was in high spirits when he learned that Darkstar had recaptured the Fazabad airbase and defeated the surrounding defenders. On the one hand, because of the powerful reinforcements of the Dark Star, he saw hope; On the other hand, I was also surprised by the strong strength of the dark star. Karzai, who has always lived in the shadow of the United States, has seen for the first time a force more terrifying than the United States, and he is still in partnership with this force, how can he not be excited.

"Haha, the Yankees have suffered heavy losses this time, so they must have a headache." Karzai was secretly shocked and laughed when he learned of the victory.

"Well, a headache is certain, but we'd better not go back to Zabad for the time being, as our only air base, we will definitely be hit hard by the US military next. To be on the safe side, we'll stay here for the time being. The monkey said with a faint smile.

"Yes, yes."

Karzai couldn't agree more. (To be continued......)
