Chapter 1209: Too Many Wolves, Too Little Meat

"I always feel that this operation will not go smoothly." Roadhog sat on the plane, arranging his weapons and whispered to General Hawke.

Hawke rolled his eyes at him, although he also knew that this was a fact. But don’t say it out loud.

Good things don't work, bad things do.

In fact, Hawke was ready when he received the order.

After all, this time, the United States wants to abandon its allies and go it alone! For this mission, Hawke had to be isolated within the special forces. All people involved in the mission were Americans, and there was no outsider!

Thinking of this, Hawke's heart of stone also became melancholy.

"The special forces will be disbanded after this, right?"

Five years have passed since the establishment of the Special Forces. It was he who built it from scratch, but now, it is he who has split the Special Forces with his own hands. When he concealed other members of the special forces and secretly carried out the transfer mission, he betrayed the partners he had worked with before.

From now on, there will be no so-called trust within the special forces.

An organization without even basic trust, even if it can continue to exist, will only appear to be coherent and disorganized.

Perhaps the name Special Forces will still exist in the future, but it is estimated that like many NATO-affiliated organizations, the name will outweigh the meaning.

But for the benefit of the United States, Hawke had to do this.

He is an American after all.

Perhaps only those in Congress still think that after doing this, the United States can still dominate the special forces and, in the spirit of American democracy, once again establish an order illuminated by the so-called beacon of free will led by the United States.

"This kind of thing...what can we do?"

Roadhog also said a little depressed.

After all, he is just a soldier. Even though they jointly explained the disadvantages of doing so to the country, the country still goes its own way and still arrogantly believes that those countries that suffer losses will acquiesce to the actions of the United States as before.

After all, the United States has harvested these so-called allies countless times.

In the international order led by the United States, so-called allies are just leeks in another sense.

Japan and the European Union, which one has not been harvested?

The difference is just in food appearance.

At that time, Japan's trade surplus with the United States was astonishingly large. The Japanese made a lot of money from Americans and rarely imported goods from the United States. This made the United States unhappy, and it directly served the Hiroshima Agreement, and then started a crazy harvest mode.

This means that the food appearance is relatively ugly.

For Europe and the United States, they still pay attention to methods. Although they are also harvesting, at least they are acceptable in name.

This time, the United States has spotted Russia's increasing pressure on Europe, so it is so unscrupulous.

They believe that Europeans will be willing to swallow their anger after seeing the threat from Russia.

But in fact, since the destruction of the U.S. Navy, countries such as Britain, France, and Germany have been very happy.

Because this means that they are on the same starting line as the United States to a certain extent. Everyone has no navy anymore!

The next step is to see who can rebuild faster.

Of course, the United States still has an extremely strong advantage. Even if the United States has exported its industry, its industrial capabilities are much stronger than those of Britain and France! Especially the United Kingdom, this country has evolved from a former industrial country to a financial country. The entire country's main income comes from the financial industry, and the rest comes from the service industry.

In normal times, this thing is actually a good thing.

Because finance really makes money!

But once the situation becomes unstable, they are doomed.

It’s useless if you have money but no industry.

France is slightly better, but France's cheating welfare system has greatly hindered France's industrial development. A large amount of funds are used in the welfare and pension systems, and there are very few funds for industrial development. This is because France has a strong foundation and has a large number of patents. Only by relying on patents to earn dividends can many large companies in France make profits. But in fact, France The international competitiveness of the product is very low.

Thanks to that, they also have overseas colonies for blood transfusion and dumping, otherwise they would have been finished long ago.

It's ridiculous to say that France, which has always advertised itself as a free country and the starting point of modern civilization, is the last country in the world with a de facto colony. And it's not small. It itself uses the euro, but many African countries in North and West Africa still use the franc (Chinese franc).

Fortunately, all French military bases in Africa have been taken away.

Next, let’s see how France maintains those colonies.

If those colonies get out of control, France may really be doomed.

Germany is a little better. After all, it is a country that has experienced suffering and has a much stronger sense of crisis than Britain and France. Its industrial capabilities are complete and powerful. It is conceivable that as the United States and European countries turn away from Germany, Germany will inevitably stand at the top of Europe again.

With a good economy and a complete industrial system, there is no reason why Germany cannot rise to prominence.

Unless those German politicians are really brainwashed and castrated by the Americans, they will not miss this opportunity.

So despite the fact that Europe needs the United States now, in fact, both China and Russia and the European countries themselves are very clear that the United States will soon lose Europe.

Hawke and Roadhog may not know this, but out of warrior instinct, they have already sensed something.

But so what?

They were just soldiers, and even if Hawke was a major general, there was nothing he could do to make any changes to this kind of thing.

"What do you think we should do next?"

Roadmaster began to worry about his future.

The special forces can't go back, and it's meaningless to go back. Others will no longer accept them, and going back will only embarrass everyone.

But for a while, Roadmaster doesn't know where he can go.

Compared to Roadmaster, Hawke doesn't have so many worries.

After all, others come from different backgrounds.

There's no shortage of places for him.

"I guess he'll go back to the Special Forces Command? How about coming to my side? I guess the higher-ups will let me reorganize a special forces unit."

Roadmaster thought for a while: "Forget it, I feel... a little tired."

At first, Roadmaster was quite tempted, but soon, he thought of this operation.

Then he became uninterested.

He could understand that the higher-ups did this for the sake of national interests, but he couldn't accept it emotionally. He could fight for the country, even if he died on the battlefield, he would be worthy of anyone, but this matter... was too unkind.

"I'd better go back to my hometown and be a policeman. My brother is a policeman, and he's pretty good at it. He bought a house in New York some time ago... in full!"

Roadmaster likes to stay in the army because it's simple.

But now... it's better to be a policeman.

"By the way, I'm an elite special forces soldier after all, right?"

Hawke was stunned. Did the topic change so quickly?

"But why, after so many years, I don't make as much as my brother did in a few years as a policeman?"

Roadmaster's salary is not actually high. In fact, the salary of the US military is not very high. What is really high is the subsidy. His monthly income is about more than 8,000 US dollars. If he goes back to retire this time, with his years of service and military rank, he will probably get a subsidy of about 100,000.

But even so, it's not as high as his brother Sage's salary for a few years.

There's no way, who said New York is rich?

Originally, because of the alien invasion, New York was actually depressed for a while, but after the rise of the Atlanteans and the invasion of monsters, many people found that... New York is still safer!

Because there are so many superheroes!

As the economy picked up, the New York government and the legislature were not pure idiots. They immediately realized that people's needs began to change.

In the past, people preferred places with freedom and low taxes.

But as the world changed, people found that freedom and taxes were bullshit. When people died, they had nothing.

Safety is the top priority.

As a place where superheroes gather, New York naturally became people's first choice again, and a lot of funds began to flow to New York for risk aversion.

This undoubtedly promoted New York's economy.

For the reconstruction of New York, the original large investment funds were allocated by the government, but with the influx of funds, even the most unpopular public infrastructure in the past received a lot of investment.

Americans don't like to invest in infrastructure because of the low rate of return and long cycle.

Everyone likes quick money.

This is why the public relations infrastructure in the United States has become very poor so far.

Because there is no money.

But now it is different. The economy of New York has improved, and people have also recognized that these infrastructures can pay back, so a lot of funds have begun to flow in, and many people are not for making money, but just for risk aversion. Although the profit is not much, with the government's endorsement, as long as the economy of New York is good, then the investment cannot lose money.

Naturally, someone will invest.

Seeing this, the New York government made safety its main focus.

So public safety received more funding. First, the police department received more funds. Now the New York police has started the fourth expansion in three years. Secondly, like superheroes, the New York government has also become tolerant.

Politicians are the most beautiful creatures.

When the existence of superheroes can drive the development of the city and affect the economy, politicians will only attack superheroes when they are full, because that will affect the votes.

Under the combined influence of these two reasons, the special department also received more financial support.

Originally, when Kai formed the special department, he used high salaries to poach people everywhere. When Saji entered the special department, his salary reached a monthly salary of more than 10,000, not including various subsidies. If these are added, Saji's monthly income can exceed 20,000+.

As the funding for the special department increases further.

The benefits naturally become better.

In order to retain these special talents, the city government even proposed housing subsidies.

For example, if you rent a house, you can apply for a monthly rental subsidy ranging from 800 to 1600 with the rental contract. It may not seem like much, but it is actually quite a lot. If you pay a little more, you can rent a very good house. If you buy a house, the subsidy will be paid consistently. The calculation is very complicated, but it is still a lot of money.

In addition, the welfare has become better.

Take Saji as an example. He is the head of the special department. In addition to participating in various operations, the risk subsidy is very high. In addition to the messy subsidies, these alone can reach about 40,000 per month. What's more abominable is that although Saji's salary has to be taxed, his salary slip only shows that his salary is 10,000, and the remaining 30,000 is all subsidies, which are not taxable at all!

With this calculation, Saji's income is much higher than that of many senior white-collar workers.

With the subsidies for buying a house, it is not uncommon for Saji to buy a house in New York.

Buying a house in New York is now an investment with a very high return rate.

Thinking about it this way, Lu Ba felt that being a policeman is not bad.

"Is that so?" Hawke felt very sorry.

But it was hard to say anything.

Just when he was about to make a joke, the fuselage suddenly shook, and he even heard a faint explosion.

"What's going on?!!"

Then he heard a shrill cry from the cockpit.

"Enemy attack!!!!"

Hawke's face changed all of a sudden!

For safety, Hawke deliberately chose to act in the air.

The planes of the special forces are all specially made and have very advanced stealth functions. Before setting off, Hawke also deliberately set up a confusing array and sent several cover teams to advance from sea, land and air to confuse the enemy... or perhaps an ally.

He kept the whole journey confidential. Neither the pilots nor the team members knew the specific route. Only after boarding the plane, the pilots guessed the flight route, and all the pilots were reliable personnel who had been reviewed. Not only that, in order to keep it completely confidential, there were two fully armed special forces members in the cockpit to escort!

Even the communications were strictly monitored.

There was no so-called leak at all!

But now, the enemy still came, and what's more terrifying is that the fake escort team he sent out to create confusion has been very normal so far, and no team has been intercepted.

In other words, the enemy has been eyeing him from the beginning!

Is there a problem in the country? ? ?

This is very possible, after all, Hawke can't hide it from anyone but the country.

What he didn't know was that his box containing the nanoworm bomb had been sending signals to the outside since it came into their hands, and there were two of them.

One was sent to Cobra, and the other was sent to China...

That's right, it was originally sent to Kai. Didn't Kai think of this matter some time ago? He didn't have time himself, so he simply sent this thing to his hometown through some channels.

After the old family got this thing, the first reaction was naturally to snatch the nanoworm.

But the hometown is a responsible big country after all, and it's too unkind to have a strong gun.

Not everyone is as shameless as the ghosts.

So I thought of a way to reveal it to others.

Then he pretended to be careless and picked up the thing... by accident.

But the old family found that he was still too conservative.

He didn't even need to spread it himself, many people have already set their sights on the nanoworm bomb!

Hawke thought he did it secretly, but please, the special forces is a multinational joint organization after all, and everyone is not simple.

Now the old family is a little stressed.

With so many wolves, can their hunters really grab meat to eat?

The welfare of the special forces is natural
