Chapter 1078 (1/2)

It has been several days since the military action to eliminate the mother nest of star ring trade. The White House and the Pentagon have held more than ten meetings around the star ring trade.

“…… I don't care what method you use. In three days, I want to see DARPA's research and development project for power armor separate from the mechanical exoskeleton project. Don't worry about the budget. I'll talk to Congress. According to the opinion of the Minister of national defense, the positioning of this power armor is tentatively designated as the firepower fulcrum of the infantry team. In addition to the load of at least 50 kg ammunition and the functions of nuclear, chemical, biological and chemical defense, the power armor must also have the absolute protection capability for ammunition below 7mm caliber... ”

At the moment, in a small conference room in the White House, Hillary had a separate meeting with director DARPA.

DARPA is the abbreviation of DARPA, known as the real aegis agency. In many defense and aerospace projects, we can see the shadow of DARPA, including the Faraday spray that restrained EMP weapons, which is the product jointly designed by DARPA and Lockheed Martin.

The star ring trade has been ahead of the United States in defense technology, so Hillary Clinton had to place her hope on DARPA.

Taking Hillary's request seriously, director DARPA twirled his ballpoint pen twice and tapped the tip of his nose on the notebook.

”We will carry out the project as soon as possible. Lockheed Martin has made good progress in the research of mechanical exoskeleton, and we have ready-made technical resources to use. In addition, I suggest to negotiate with Germany to see if we can get the information about the improved ”lightning” exoskeleton from Krupp group. They obviously have the prototype of power armor, but there are still some deficiencies in design. ”I'll let Kerry talk about it.” Hillary said.

After exchanging views with the president's wife on details, DARPA closed his notebook and stood up to leave.

There are still a few meetings waiting for him. He has to prepare the plan in two days and try to catch up with the CBC hearing on the third day. This kind of research and development project involving hundreds of millions of dollars can not be decided by his signature alone.

When he got to the door and was about to open the door, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and the White House assistant came in with a document.

”Madam President.”

Hillary looked at her assistant and asked gravely.

”What's the matter?”

”The president of the new country sent us an invitation.” Walking next to Hillary Clinton, the aide put the document on the table, ”saying we were invited to the outer space security summit on June 15.”

”Outer space security summit?” Hillary gave a sneer, wrinkling the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes.

Star ring trade is OK to hold an outer space security summit? Who is using space resources for weapons development?

”Write a euphemistic rejection letter for me, saying that the US side regrets that the satellite ring trade violates the outer space treaty, and will not start high-level bilateral talks with the new country until the satellite ring trade and the new country explain this.”

”Yes.” The assistant nodded and turned away.

Leaning back on the chair, Hillary rubbed the corners of her tired eyes.

There was another meeting ten minutes later, and just as she was about to take a nap, the light from the corner of her eye suddenly noticed the invitation.

After a moment's hesitation, and in the principle of diplomatic etiquette, she reached out of her bag and took the invitation.

When the line of sight roughly swept over two lines of words, caught a keyword Hillary, suddenly stunned there.

”Extraterrestrial civilization?”

Looking down from the text of the invitation, Hillary's look changed.

When she got to the last line, she threw the invitation on the table, got up at once, and quickly ran out of the door.

……

In the early morning of June 1st, a Gulfstream airliner landed at Coro City Airport.
