Chapter 1805: Sam's Choice
The political system of Sam's country determines that the ruling party is not the dominant one. The opposition party may seize the opportunity to fight back at any time and force the ruling party to step down. If the war continues, there is no economic pressure for Sam's country, but it is very troublesome politically. Once the truth is revealed, the president will be the first to be affected. The interest consortium is not afraid of continuing, but the president has to consider his personal interests.
If the war launched under the banner of justice of counter-terrorism is completed in a short period of time, no one will say anything, but now it is different. Getting away directly means failure. It will have a great negative impact on politics and the international community. If you don’t get away, it will deteriorate endlessly. It will affect not only the political and international community image, but also the president’s own interests.
Faced with this situation, the president knew that the only way was to escape decently and find a suitable reason. Puneard's words made the president see the reason. The target of counter-terrorism was the Hook tribe. If the country supported was replaced with other names, although it was still the Hook tribe in essence, it would have been explained on the surface.
Just imagine, Sam's country supports a poor and backward tribe in the local area to build a country and encircle all evil terrorism. This can not only show Sam's country's determination and confidence in countering terrorism, but also reflects Sam's country's international image of helping the poor, supporting the weak and peaceful, and killing two birds with one stone. Why not do it?
As for the losses of war, how can there be no sacrifice in the great cause of counter-terrorism? As long as you have a little whitewash and let the interest groups bear a little, nothing is a problem. Anyway, 50% of the purchasing rights of Tantalum are still there, and at worst, you can use this for exchange. Thinking of this, the president made a decision in his heart, but he did not say it immediately. Instead, he glanced at the audience coldly and said dissatisfiedly: "What do you have any other opinions?"
"I suggest that Jackson continues to serve as commander-in-chief and be fully responsible for this matter." A senior representative suggested.
"Jackson?" The president was stunned and immediately remembered his beloved future. He felt moved inside, but he did not reveal it. Instead, he looked at one of the representatives of the interest consortium quietly, curious inside. At this time, what was Jackson's intention? He couldn't help but ask: "Reason?"
"Jackson's defeat was not a command mistake. In fact, Jackson also achieved certain results, at least much better than the previous one. If the enemy had not given up on the valley and our army would have encircled three groups, the enemy would have suffered heavy losses. Of course, this is just if, I was not giving up on Jackson. Think about it, who knows the opponent better than Jackson?" The senior actor analyzed seriously.
"Then let Jackson go." A senior actor said quickly. The others are also talented and they all fit in. For everyone, anyone can go, as long as the war doesn't end.
When the president heard this, he didn't know what these people had. He knew that he loved Jackson. In order to continue fighting, he would not hesitate to let Jackson walk out of the military court. It seemed human favors and had ulterior motives. The president's face turned cold and his eyes became bad. If Jackson was released, it meant that he had to continue fighting. If he didn't fight, Jackson would not be able to release him. He was such a ruthless plot.
"War is nothing for us, and we have enough strength to support it, but failure for us means a decline in international status, a loss of national image, and distrust of voters. Your Excellency President, I am a million soldiers waiting for you to give your order." said an officer with the rank of lieutenant general.
The value of a soldier is reflected in the battlefield. The president understands the intention of the officer, but he will not change easily after making a decision in his heart. He threw a look at the director of the National Security Bureau who has always remained silent. The director nodded understandingly, coughed lightly to attract everyone's attention, and said slowly: "Everyone, it's okay to continue fighting, but it may trigger World War III. Let me ask, are you all ready?"
"Whatever you have to prepare, just fight." A high samsara jumped up and said.
The president glanced at the other party. The man stood behind the man with weapons and arms dealers. He was about to launch the Third World War. The direct beneficiaries were these arms dealers. He raised his eyebrows and snorted in dissatisfaction, but he didn't say anything. He looked at the Director of National Security. The director sneered in understanding and continued: "It's great, you don't need to prepare, but the country needs to prepare. The Third World War requires too much resources. Let's do this. Everyone will donate half of their property to the country. Remember to notify your consortium. The wartime recruitment order is very clear. I think everyone will not forget this, right? If you hand over within a week, the country will not be afraid of any war with enough time."
"You are plundering." A high-speaker shouted dissatisfied.
"Is that so? Why don't I think?" the director sneered disdainfully: "The recruitment order is very clear in black and white. When the country needs it, it has the right to recruit your property. Of course, it will be returned in full after the war. The country will not owe you a penny. This constitution stipulates, what do you think?"
"Hahaha, I think it's OK." Purnard on the electronic screen sneered disdainfully: "A week is probably too long, and there are still twenty hours before the enemy attack. Twenty hours later, Hook will openly send an invitation to China. China will respond within one hour and be able to dispatch a large number of workers to mine within three days. These workers must be faked by soldiers. At that time, we will not go to war with the indigenous people, but will go to war with the "workers" who protect their property, which will trigger the Third World War. Without everyone's support, what will the country use to fight the Third World War? Are taxpayers' money?"
The President threw a satisfied look to the Director of National Security. The Director nodded in conscientiously and said no more. The President looked at the representatives of major consortiums and said dissatisfiedly: "Is it a fight or a gang? Let's make a decision. I'll give you an hour. If there is no reply in an hour, then follow my decision."
The hot potato was thrown to the people present. The president secretly exclaimed, but his face was silently contemplated. It was definitely a good thing to be able to end the battle decently. Everyone didn't have to fight anymore, and they could still take advantage of the benefits. Although the benefits were less, they couldn't reach their own pockets anyway, and the president didn't care. Seeing everyone present with a embarrassed expression, he felt very happy, and the haze of being forced to do so was wiped out.
After a while, everyone was unable to make a decision, so the president simply asked everyone to go to the lounge outside to wait. In fact, it was to give everyone space to communicate with the consortium behind it. After everyone left, the president looked at Puneder on the electronic screen and said, "You handled this matter well. Is there a question, can you end this war decently?"
"No problem. As long as we make appropriate concessions and can do it, they also need peace. I am fully confident about this." Purnard said quickly.
"That's fine, don't wait for their results. These guys won't really donate half of their property. Go and do it. I'll wait for good news." The president said firmly.
