The river troops began to assemble.

On the premise that the Cuban side has clearly stated that it will search for drug traffickers who have fled to Cuba within a week, the River Force still insists on entering the country to conduct a search in person.

And their reasons seem to be very strong, and that is:

The stolen assault boat had important intelligence and equipment on board from the US side, and if leaked, it could cause major consequences.

As for what are the major consequences?

Who knows.

Obviously, even in the United States, within the various parties, the demands of the River Force are not one-sided support, and the internal struggle in the United States has reached unprecedented heights and intensity, and the only thing that is fortunate is that everyone is still sticking to the bottom line, not breaking the framework of the rules, and trying to use violent means.

——

But of course, that's not to say that no one wants to.

In Washington, D.C., in a nondescript villa near McPherson Square, two men are talking face-to-face, one of whom is Wade, who suffered a tragic defeat in the Texas incident, and the other, General Grady, who played an important role in the storm.

"We regret the Texas thing."

"Actually, that's definitely not what we wanted, and as my friend told you, we don't really want anyone to be killed or injured from start to finish-—— or at least not that many casualties."

"But there is no way, politics is cruel, and the struggle is cruel."

"If you want to do something, you have to give up other things, and at the same time you have to pay the price."

"Of course, I still have to say sorry to you-—— after all, this is the result of my decision, I hope you can forgive me."

Opposite Grady, Wade's face was full of excitement and disbelief, and even after hearing Grady's words, he didn't react to answer, but looked at the other party in a daze, as if he was stunned.

After a few seconds, he realized that he had spoken:

"I really didn't think of it, I should have thought of it a long time ago."

"Yes, and only those who have really been in the war zone can understand our suffering"

"No, needless to say, I'm sorry, General, you're doing the right thing, if my comrades-in-arms knew all this, they would die willingly."

"No one wants to die, we all just want to live better."

Grady said with a serious face.

But then, he changed his tone and continued:

"However, if no one sacrifices, everyone is doomed to live badly."

"Yes, that's the case, so I'm willing to sacrifice!"

Wade said eagerly, and looking at his performance, Grady finally nodded in satisfaction.

He continued:

"I think you know why I called you here."

"You know, there's a big thing going on in Miami lately."

"Yes, I know, about drug lords"

Before Wade could finish his sentence, Grady immediately interrupted.

"Now, I'm going to tell you, this is also in our plan."

"I guessed it!"

There was a hint of excitement in Wade's tone.

"Are we going back to the battlefield?"

"Yes, that's our plan, but it's clear that someone doesn't want our plan to go ahead."

"So, do you know what to do?"

"I understand."

Wade nodded solemnly.

Then, the two looked at each other and smiled, and said no more.

One afternoon a few days later, Bob walked out of the White House.

This is the first time in this week that he has taken the initiative to meet with the president and explain his thoughts.

First, the Texas incident made him anxious, and the subsequent large-scale manhunt made the trend of public opinion even more unfavorable to him, but at this juncture, the Hechuan troops actually jumped out to make trouble.

He is not afraid of war, and even in a way, he is really looking forward to a war.

However, he could never allow war to happen in such a way, let alone in such a chaotic situation.

If we fight, will all the problems be solved?

This is the opinion of many people, and it is also the intention of those militants who advocate the expansion of influence, but in his opinion, this is simply nonsense.

It is necessary to stabilize internally now before it is possible to export to the outside world.

Otherwise, the wear and tear of the war machine caused by internal contradictions alone will be enough to pull the country down the abyss.

Therefore, in the case of such turbulent public opinion, he still insisted on speaking out against it.

However, he could vaguely see that his opposition began to gradually become weaker.

That special military adviser next to the president. He has never expressed his support for anyone, but he seems a little suspicious in terms of logic and position.

Perhaps, I should find a way to kill him.

——

Erase him from the point of view of discourse and move him away from the president.

Wait, there's always a chance.

Bob sighed, took out his phone, and made a call to his assistant.

"Where are you? I'm ready to go. ”

On the other end of the phone, the assistant's voice was a little flustered.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry sir, I'm still in the bathroom, I've had some accident here, and I need a few more minutes - can you go back inside and wait for me for a few minutes?"

Listening to the sound of rushing water coming from the earpiece, Bob hesitated for a moment and replied:

"Go back yourself, I'm too late."

"Come to me in the office and we need to discuss the next steps as soon as possible."

"Understood, I'll be able to solve it soon, and I'll follow behind your car."

"Okay, that's it."

Bob hung up and sat down in his bulletproof Lincoln.

This car has been with him for more than 3 years and has made him extremely satisfied, both in terms of safety and comfort.

"The same as the president," he always said.

In fact, the design of this car does have many similarities with Army One.

The same level of protection, the same electronic design, the same non-lowerable windows, the same heavy armor.

Bob subconsciously glanced at the window on the left-—— and the only window in the back that could be lowered by 7 centimeters was still closed at this time.

He sat down relaxedly in his chair and closed his eyes slightly.

His mind was constantly flickering with all sorts of images, saliva from the mouths of politicians, waving arms of officers, blank expressions of the president, lights, flames of war, the Stars and Stripes

After a few seconds, Bob's eyes widened again.

And then, he saw a scene that shocked him immensely.

The window was lowered.

Then, a black dot magnified in his vision-—— which may have been just an illusion.

But in the next second, he fell into endless darkness.

"Bob is dead, do you still think your so-called organization really wants to do something good?"

"They can directly attack the core of a country, if they get the so-called 'Spark core secrets', do you think this organization can still exist?"

In Chengdu, in the interrogation room, a commissioner who had never shown up sat opposite Lin Chen, pushed a copy of the latest news paper to Lin Chen in the interrogation chair, and said with a serious expression.

And after hearing the news, a trace of surprise flashed on Lin Chen's face, and then he suddenly frowned.

"Impossible."

"This news can't be true-—— in theory, it's not in their core interests."

"Once Bob dies, the entire military system and political system of the United States will collapse, and the death of an important person will inevitably cause major turmoil-—— and we will be the first to be suspected."

"It doesn't make sense, how can they do that?"

"If you want me to tell the truth, you should use better means than try to deceive me"

"That's your problem, Lin Chen."

The commissioner shook his head slightly, and continued:

"You're too smart, you think too much, but you ignore the most critical issues."

"And you know what the most critical issue is right now? That is, you are here, and the threat of Starfire has been eliminated. ”

"So, why should we lie to you? It's simply not necessary. ”

"Also, do you think it's impossible for that so-called organization to take the initiative to cause unrest? So what if I told you that before Bob was killed, the president had issued a new appointment order, which was quickly passed to remove him from all his duties? ”

"It was all premeditated-—— and even after his death, someone quickly acknowledged the responsibility for it."

"And you should be familiar with the organization that takes responsibility."

"Veterans Association, Texas Vigilante League."

"The people will not accept it"

Lin Chen was still denying it, but after a short hesitation, he suddenly figured out the logic of this matter.

Why won't the people accept it?

Yes, the death of a key person is easily associated with hostile countries and hostile forces, but this is not an unshakable law.

If everyone had already exchanged benefits and confirmed the aftermath strategy before this happened, then the consequences and aftermath of it could be controlled within a very small range.

Yes, there can be no mistake.

However, Lin Chen still couldn't understand why.

He looked at the commissioner, hoping to get an answer from him.

"Why?"

"Why? Maybe that's the question we should be asking you. ”

"We don't know the answer, but . I can point you to one more mistake. ”

"What's wrong?"

The commissioner paused for a moment, then said:

"There is no organization in this world that is omnipotent."

"True omnipotence exists only in religion and mythology."

"As long as you are human, you make mistakes; As long as you are human, you can't control the whole situation. ”

"Do you think that their successes several times are due to how powerful they really are, how incredible their power really is?"

"-——Perhaps, this power is indeed incredible, but I want to tell you that the power does not belong to this organization, but to this physical world."

"And the name of this power is randomness."

"They just happened to do those few things, and in a short period of time, it was incredible."

"But if you stretch the time scale into the whole of human history, you will find . . . It's just a trivial thing that isn't worth mentioning. ”

A sharp warning.

Lin Chen was stunned in place, he silently looked at the man in front of him, his mouth open, but he didn't know what to say.

After a long silence, the commissioner sighed.

"That's all for today's conversation."

"I guess you'll need time to think about it too."

He stood up, and at the last moment of leaving the interrogation room, he suddenly spoke again:

"Perhaps, you should take some time to read history."

"We're going to speed things up."

In the conference room of the Nantianmen project base, Lin Yongming said to a kind of technicians and engineers who participated in the meeting.

"The shooting death of Bob, the former minister of the American Corner Tower, is a major event."

"Although the U.S. side has urgently issued a statement indicating that his attack was entirely a personal incident caused by internal contradictions, it is clear that this is a very clear sign."

"In the coming period, the risk of the world falling into war will be infinitely raised, and at the same time, nuclear war will be avoided under the constraints of the 'bottom line'."

"Then, what we will face is the threat of a large-scale, large-span, high-frequency conventional war and proxy war."

"Therefore, the strategic significance of the Nantianmen project has once again been raised."

"We have to use the shortest possible time to ensure that this equipment can be born and formed smoothly."

"Now that we have received the first batch of technical information from the Xinghuo team, I need you to give me a definite answer, after solving the heat dissipation problem, how long will it take for the entire powertrain to complete the final finalized design?"

Hearing his words, everyone in the conference room fell silent involuntarily, and after a few seconds, an engineer raised his hand and spoke:

"A month, we need a month to digest the Spark team's technology."

"Judging from past experience, as long as the technology is provided through Xinghuo, its completeness and usability are very high, and there is no need to go through too much expansion and experimentation."

"So, a month is enough."

"As soon as the design is completed, we will work with other departments to start systematic optimization and experimental model manufacturing as soon as possible."

"It's going to take us about six months to build Experiment 1."

"No problem."

Lin Yongming nodded immediately, and then continued:

"Remember, you're making a military order right now."

"If it's not done by then, everyone will be held accountable, is there a problem?"

"No problem!"

The engineer replied firmly.

Then, Lin Yongming just glanced at him, and immediately shifted his focus to other technical modules.

In just half an hour of meetings, he almost adjusted the plans and milestones of the entire project.

Everyone can see that this project is really about to enter a new phase.

——

Once one is made, it must be used immediately in a new stage!

It may not be a backwaters, but its significance is comparable to a backwaters.

Failure is never allowed if it is really possible.

Well, all the people in this room, including the meeting itself, will leave their names in history
