Chapter 890: Traps
Main Conference Room of the Pentagon
There is a very important meeting here today. If the word "important" is used here, it is a bit ordinary, because the meetings held here are very important. Generally speaking, important decisions of the US military will be decided. Anyone who can come here for the meeting It is a general with a four-star general or above (the highest in the US military is a five-star general), and there will always be one of the president and the secretary of defense here.
But there is a more important person coming to the meeting today. This person basically has no position in the US government, but the generals present all know that he is the real master of the United States. If the United States is a group , then the president can only be said to be a senior, and that person is the chairman of the group.
For decades, this chairman has only come here a few times, but every time he comes to a meeting, the whole world will be bloody, such as the Iraq war and the Afghan war. In short, the arrival of this person heralds the world There are American soldiers visiting other places, of course not for sightseeing.
"Stand at attention." Following the command of the joint chief of staff, more than a dozen generals stood up at the same time, and Anderson Yeke smiled and walked into this conference room where most things in the United States are decided.
That's right, the chairman they are waiting for is Anderson Yeke, the chairman of Skull and Bones. Skull and Bones is a huge organization. Relatedly, they will join forces only when they encounter some major problems. Of course, if there is a huge opposition within the US government, then Skull and Bones will make them evaporate, just like former US President Kennedy.
Kennedy is not the only president of the United States who tried to overthrow the Skull and Bones Society's rule in the United States, but he was the only one who did it so fiercely. In the next few decades, no president dared to confront the Skull and Bones, who would not cherish their own lives.
"Gentlemen, please sit down." Anderson Yeke was wearing a black dress, and his hair and beard were specially groomed. It was the first time for some of the generals in this room to see the actual helm of the United States.
"I haven't been to this place for a long time. The last time I came here was when we were going to use force against Afghanistan. Now I'm here again, so you can't be idle." Anderson said with a smile.
"Mr. President will always point out a profitable path for our great America, and we have no doubts about it." The Secretary of Defense of the United States is a sedan chair bearer, and his role has also become apparent at this moment.
"Thank you, Mr. Minister, for your compliment, but this time we are not fighting for profit, but for our survival. Everyone knows that the world is not just an era when our family is the only one. Now there is a very powerful group,
That is the energy group. Including us in the United States, most of the world's wealth is received in the name of this group every year. We can still persist in the past ten years, but if it continues for more than ten years, I am afraid that we will not have that even if we want to resist. capable. "Anderson's words are obviously very popular here. All Americans know that what he said is true. Now the Chinese have begun to act arrogantly, especially those employees of the damn energy group. Just like the messenger of God.
The title of God’s Messenger is not actually said by Li Cong’s subordinates, but by the New York Times in the United States. Many magazines say that Li Cong is the God of this era, so his employees are naturally God’s messengers up.
"Mr. President, what you said is very correct. Now the Chinese government is developing very fast thanks to the help of the energy group. The last Korean War has shown us clearly the combat effectiveness of the Chinese Army. If it is correct, I think we will be the same as in North Korea decades ago, and we will still face a failure." Although all Americans do not want to admit this, it is the fact that it is the North American Air Defense The commander of the headquarters, his grandfather became a martyr in the Korean War decades ago and died at the gunpoint of the Chinese, so this guy doesn't have any good feelings for the Chinese.
The Minister of Defense was obviously very dissatisfied with the realization of this guy's chatter, and he almost talked about it in two places. Before the meeting, Anderson told himself the content of the meeting. The African army did it instead of pulling the United States into a confrontation with China. It must be clear that the energy group and China are two groups, and they are two completely different groups.
"Your Excellency Commander is very correct. Our great American army has only failed in the hands of the Chinese, so we must be prepared. Now is not the time to compete with them. Now our The attention should be shifted from Europe and Asia to Africa, because we have not paid attention to such a rich continent for ten years, and now it has almost become the private domain of energy groups. This is simply unimaginable, gentlemen, please look. After finishing speaking, Anderson signaled his assistant to turn on the projector.
The screen shows more than a dozen military bases of the Energy Group in Africa. The largest can accommodate tens of thousands of people, and the smallest can accommodate thousands of people. Some of these bases have more modern facilities than American bases abroad. To be advanced, of course the most important thing is those weapons. There is no layman present, and it is natural to see that these things are the latest products of Russia. These things are basically on the same level as the US military. It is even better than that of the United States. It can only be said that Russia does not yet have large-scale equipment.
"Russia is always a bunch of poor people, so it doesn't matter if they research the best equipment, because they don't have the money to equip it, but Li Cong's energy group is different, as long as they have good equipment, they will spend more He will also equip the money. If my financial organization is not mistaken, the annual revenue of the energy group is as high as trillions of dollars, and it is no problem to support our entire American army." The reason why Anderson took Li Cong I lied about my income, but I didn't want this fact to make everyone feel flustered. If the internal situation is unstable, don't mention how to deal with Li Cong.
"This is really a big problem. The research ability of the Russians has always been comparable to ours. We did see them before. The deal between them has reached such a level that the Russians betrayed us. What kind of price do you have to pay for these weapons? It’s as difficult as making us Americans sell our aircraft carrier.” The navy commander said with some doubts, he really didn’t understand, are those Russians all fools? Can you give up your top technology for money? You must know that those things cannot be bought with money, they are the crystallization of the whole country.
"Good question, my dear ǎo Navy, our bat group of the Skull and Bones has already investigated this. The current Russian Prime Minister Putin has basically been controlled by Li Cong. As for the other big families in Russia, basically It has been sorted out by Li Cong, and now I want them to sell nuclear warheads, I am afraid they will also sign." Anderson also had a sad face when he talked about this, he really didn't understand why Li Cong could do them Something Americans haven't done for decades.
After listening to Anderson's words, the generals in the room put away their casualness. This is really shocking. The empire that has been against his country for more than ten years has become that guy Li Cong? How is this possible? It's not that we don't believe it, it's that what you said is a bit outrageous.
"Well, speaking of it, we did a great favor to this guy. When the Soviet Union disintegrated in the 1990s, we beat them so hard that their highest power level collapsed almost overnight. We thought that Russia would not have the glory of the Soviet era, so we didn't pay much attention to them, and we didn't expect that when we wanted to intervene, we would not be able to intervene." Anderson seemed to be doing a self-criticism at this time, although this guy said it was him mistake, but how dare these people here accuse him?
"Dear Mr. President, it is useless to say these things now. We Americans have always walked on difficulties, and we will overcome the past. You have always led us on the right path, and you will definitely do so now. In the past, just now you said that you should pay attention to Africa, do you want to directly eliminate the influence of energy groups in Africa?" The Minister of Defense said hurriedly when he saw the sad faces in the room, but don't call someone who didn't see it before talking about the business The enemy beat all these American generals to the ground, which is really not worth the candle.
Anderson seemed a little too involved just now. After being reminded by the Minister of Defense, he remembered what he should do. He nodded appreciatively and gave the Secretary of Defense to the United States. He wants to run for the next president. Well, if you want to run for election without the support of this old man, there is basically no hope.
"Yes, Mr. Minister, I just want to expel all of Li Cong's forces in Africa at once. This is also the original intention of our meeting. The founder of China said such a sentence, that is, political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. , although we are Americans, this sentence is very correct. No matter how rich he is, he still has to obey the barrel of a gun in the end? We Americans can lose everything, but we cannot lose the title of military first. Otherwise, our words won't work in this world." Anderson said earnestly.
The guys in the meeting room are all hawks in the United States, and they all have great connections with the arms groups behind them. If they send troops, they will all agree, and if they don't send troops, they will cause trouble. Listen to Anderson's words one by one I feel that this is another good opportunity to make a fortune.
"Everyone, according to the information provided by the CIA and the Bat Group, the energy group has a total of nearly 250,000 troops in Africa, and there are more than 500,000 other personnel. Everyone knows the situation in Africa. The people there take A soldier is a soldier with a gun, and an ordinary citizen is an ordinary citizen when he puts down a gun. Therefore, after our calculation, this army will be calculated at 350,000, so we must not take it lightly. Besides, the weapons used by these troops are basically the same as ours. Russian products of the same grade, if we continue to fight in accordance with the model of Iraq and Afghanistan, we will definitely fail." After seeing that other people agreed with Anderson's words, the Minister of Defense took out the plan that had been formulated long ago. battle plan.
The Americans really don’t care about the 350,000 troops. Saddam’s troops claim to have millions, so what? It took only a few months to take Iraq down. No matter how strong the fighting power of these Africans is, can they still be stronger than those of the Arabs?
Looking at the generals here, Anderson knew that these people didn't think highly of these Africans at all, and it's no wonder that he might not be able to take a fancy to them. In fact, Anderson knew in his heart that as long as Li never had a large-scale If that powerful weapon is sent to the army, basically there will be no problems. Those Africans are like children with sharp swords. Although they have weapons, it is estimated by their training quality. A company of their own can solve a battalion of them.
Anderson knew that it was useless even to order these generals. Over the years, the U.S. Army has been almost invincible. Those are still the army of one country. These people are just the private army of a group. In their eyes, these people are really too weak ǎo, I won’t say what I did wrong, maybe you will understand if I make you suffer, and Anderson signaled the Minister of Defense to start issuing combat orders with a look.
As a country that advertises peace, the United States will never take the lead in provoking wars, so those who provoke wars are others. They are out of self-defense, so this time the combat plan is to fight back after being beaten passively. The generals can basically memorize the combat plans formulated by the Ministry of National Defense.
First of all, the two aircraft carriers stationed in the mainland and the Middle East will gather off the coast of Madagascar and be responsible for blocking the waters of the Indian Ocean. On the other hand, the assistant European aircraft carrier will be responsible. A total of four aircraft carriers will complete the task, reaching one-third of the number of US aircraft carriers. First, the aircraft carrier fleet is not required to launch a ground attack, but only responsible for blocking the entire African continent, as long as Li Cong's army does not accept foster care from outside.
This task looks very difficult, but it is actually very simple. With the advanced technology now, it is enough to let the satellite monitor the two sea areas at all times. Basically, all the things that the African troops need need to be transported by sea. The place must be within 500 kilometers of the military camp. There are only railways in this area. If they are unloaded elsewhere, they probably don’t know how to transport them. There are not so many railways in Africa.
Once there is no foster care, the performance of these miscellaneous troops can be imagined. The African continent will definitely not starve to death these hundreds of thousands of people, but there will never be weapons that can be used by them. The inventory in the house, at that time, it is probably time to break up the partnership.
The plan does not include the content of the army's participation in the war at all. People from the U.S. foreign ministry have already begun to visit more than a dozen countries in Africa, China and the north. They have basically reached a preliminary alliance, and they will send troops to drive away the remaining diehards. More than a dozen countries will form a coalition to "suppress bandits" to maintain the security of the African continent. At that time, the Americans will need to pay a sum of money, and the rest is to promise to help these countries improve their military strength. Americans are most willing to do this kind of thing It's done.
These backward African countries are not afraid of energy groups. Anyway, the development of the whole country is very slow. Even without those energy sources, it is nothing to them. Hundreds of years have passed without energy sources, and they don’t care about such a short period of time. And they have such a big "blood feud" with the army of the energy group.
According to the deduction of the Ministry of National Defense, the entire plan will take half a year to complete. After this battle, Li Cong's military strength in Africa will basically be wiped out, and the entire energy group will lose trillions of yuan for this. For the energy group It is not a big blow, but it is basically impossible for the energy group to find another place where hundreds of thousands of troops can be trained in other places in the world.
Anderson was very happy looking at the departing generals. It seemed that the world was still in his hands. At this moment, he seemed to have seen Li Cong's embarrassing face at the distribution meeting. Will he faint during the atrocities of his own army.
The plan is too huge, and the preliminary preparations alone will take several months. Fortunately, under the instruction of Skull and Bones, all preparations have basically come to an end. Now it is time for Li Cong to hold his distribution meeting. As long as this ǎo looks good, he will lose his African base forever, and the energy group should have a very good name after that day, which is called "Bloody Group".
"Master President, you're almost gone, you..." The Minister of Defense, a bearded guy, didn't leave. Whether he can become president depends on this old guy in front of him. How can he give his immortality to you? It would be disrespectful to leave him alone.
"Hehe, you did a very good job today. I heard that you are electing the next president. I will take care of them, but I will not tell you the final result. I can only say that your hard work will pay off. Everything you need." Anderson left after finishing speaking, that is, as his identity, he does not need to pay attention to a presidential candidate, he only needs to see who is the next president, and on the day the president is elected, he must first Go to Anderson's villa to accept the blessing of the actual power holder in the United States, and then the swearing-in ceremony, which is why the Americans announced the election results in the afternoon and held the ceremony in the evening.
Although Anderson didn't say it clearly, this already made the minister ecstatic. At least half of his ass was sitting on it. As long as he could cooperate well with this operation, that seat was basically his own.
