Chapter 400 Welcome the President
The flying aircraft carrier sailed slowly and approached the sky above the preset position to ambush the Chitauri.
This is a barren land in southeastern California, spanning the Mojave Desert in Nevada, Arizona, and Utah.
This wild desert is a rare sparsely populated area in the United States. A war can be waged here without fear of accidentally injuring civilians or causing property damage.
Luo Feng did not advocate setting up an ambush position on the mainland of any country. His original plan was to find an uninhabited island in the center of the Pacific Ocean and bury all the Chitauri on that island.
This is to prevent the Chitauri remnants from breaking out of the encirclement and breaking into human settlements to shoot indiscriminately and cause unnecessary losses.
By opening a wormhole in the center of the Pacific Ocean, even if the Chitauri break through the first ground air defense blockade, there will still be countless air defense blockades composed of frigates and destroyers waiting for them on the vast ocean to ensure that these remnants cannot reach anywhere. On land.
However, after receiving the war situation report from the Secretary of Defense, the United States had other thoughts. The President insisted on setting the location of the alien invasion on American soil, and even asked him to appear at the scene of the battle to deliver a speech.
Luo Feng knew immediately that the United States was now internally divided, with ethnic groups at odds, left and right fighting, policies gradually tilting toward isolationism and American supremacy, international prestige plummeting, and the world's leadership status in jeopardy.
By locating the front line of the fight against aliens in the United States, on the one hand, it can use external pressure to unite internal public sentiment, and on the other hand, it can improve its international image and at least pretend to be the most responsible power on earth.
Since the president took office, the wall has not been built, nothing has been achieved, and the poll approval rate has dropped frequently. He also wants to take this opportunity to whitewash himself as Roosevelt, who was appointed at a critical moment, and use the halo of the war president to disguise himself as the leader of this war against aliens. author rather than participant.
Back then, George W. Bush was similar to him. He was also called a fool by the media and despised by the public. He was about to be unable to be re-elected. It was by launching the war in Iraq and Afghanistan that he briefly deceived voters and survived his second term.
When the United States has such demands, it naturally tries its best to use diplomatic means to find ways to achieve its goals.
After sending special envoys to negotiate with the other four members of the United Nations' five permanent members and promising many practical benefits, the United States gained the title of the country where aliens descended and the country that initiated the war.
Only China can compete with the United States, but the Chinese people have never liked to be the first person. They know best how to make a fortune silently. After reaping enough benefits from the United States, they gave up the leadership.
Of course, it was Director Luo who ultimately decided where the aliens would land. To this end, the White House specially approved a large amount of public relations funds, and the money was deposited into Director Luo's secret personal account opened in a Swiss bank... …
Luo Feng really didn't want to accept the money. He had too much money in the director's entertainment account to spend it all, and he didn't plan to retire in the Marvel Universe. No matter how much dollars he had, it was just a number to him.
But when it comes to collecting black money, you also need to make the person who sends the money feel at ease. Otherwise, it will be difficult for him, a Chinese, to integrate into the American officialdom with an untainted face. If he cannot make peace with the American bureaucrats, Being in the same dust, blending into them, headquartered in New York, and with most of its employees being Americans, SHIELD found it difficult to open up the situation and carry out its work smoothly.
Collecting black money is also to better protect the earth. Luo Feng could only accept it with a wry smile.
The establishment of an ambush position in the Mojave Desert was a location determined after careful screening by the US Pentagon.
There are four advantages here:
First, this place is sparsely populated and it is easy to evacuate people. Because of the city of Las Vegas, transportation is relatively convenient, which is convenient for mobilizing troops.
Second, this place is located in California, one of the richest and most prosperous states in the United States. The invasion of aliens here can increase the tension of the American people and stimulate a sense of crisis among the people. The president will command the Earth's coalition forces to repel the aliens and obtain The public prestige will be greater, it will have political symbolic significance and be conducive to publicity.
Third, not far from here is the Edwards Air Force Base in the United States, where the most advanced black-tech experimental fighter jets from the United States are deployed, which can be used for actual combat testing in air combat against aliens.
Fourth, there is a large solar power station here, which can provide energy security for the black technology weapons deployed by the US army.
The United States plans to use several black technology weapons that are still being tested to deal with aliens, namely: metal storm weapon system, electromagnetic gun air defense system, high-power laser air defense system, hive attack drone formation, strong pulse energy weapon system, There are also powerful sonic cannons and gamma ray missiles that were used against the Hulk.
This time, the United States has made up its mind to show off its wealth to the people of the world, making the joke that "the U.S. military was built with so much military spending to fight aliens" come true, and fully demonstrate the majesty of the world's police. .
The US military has entered the preset position and deployed a large number of high-tech air defense systems on the position in advance. The armies of other countries have also mobilized the most elite domestic ace troops here under the pretext of joint military exercises. All kinds of secrets are kept under wraps. Weapons are presented for free.
The most eye-catching thing about the Chinese army is the Iron Overlord Battalion. The Iron Overlord mechas equipped with various heavy firepower are majestic and arranged in a neat square formation. From a distance, they are really impressive, just like the steel of the Qin Empire. Legion.
In order not to be excluded from world affairs, Japan also used the excuse of signing a mutual defense agreement with the United States and spent a huge amount of money to buy a qualification to participate, but it only sent logistics support troops and medical troops.
This group of Japanese people looked eagerly at the Chinese Iron Overlord Army, their eyes wide open. A major general of the Self-Defense Force couldn't help but exclaimed: The Chinese actually have a Gundam! What are our country's robotics experts doing? The science and technology tree is crooked. They only know how to develop some cute girl robots!
…
Luo Feng came to the deck of the flying aircraft carrier. He came to greet several big shots.
The US Navy No. 1 helicopter with the bald eagle emblem flew over the aircraft carrier and landed slowly. The door opened and the ramp dropped. The president walked out, followed by the five directors of the World Security Council and the US Secretary of Defense. , Minister of the Interior.
Luo Feng stepped forward, saluted the President with a Chinese military salute, and extended his hand: "Your Excellency, President, you are welcome to inspect the battlefield. Directors, thank you for your trust in me. Please follow me to the aircraft carrier bridge to observe together. This alien sniper war.”
