Chapter 1330 (1/2)
”I'm more concerned about Bernice's general election than about the details.” After all, we threw a lot of chips on Joseph
”It's not particularly optimistic,” Aisha said, shaking her head. ”The situation in South America is heating up and a large number of Colombian refugees are pouring into the United States. It is inevitable that the support rate of Hawks will rise. What's more, it happens to catch up with the tense relations between Singapore and the United States... ”
Nodding, Jiang Chen was silent.
He did not consider the refugee effect brought about by the war. Undoubtedly, the United States is the first choice in the eyes of the Colombian people, followed by Canada. The influx of refugees is bound to bring poverty and crime to the United States and cause a series of social problems. This is the crucial moment of the election campaign, which will have an intuitive impact on the general election.
It seems that Mr. Kennedy Jr.'s opponents have been waving flags and shouting for anti refugees.
One of them is the idea of building a great wall on the border between the United States and Mexico
……
A conference is being held in Arlington County, Virginia, inside the Pentagon.
It was not just high-level officials from the Department of defense, but also the president and his advisers and cabinet bureaucrats.
It's interesting to say that just three days ago, these people in the conference room had just held a meeting in the White House. Now they are in a different place, and the same group of people have held a meeting in the Pentagon. Although the topics discussed were different, there was no change in the object of discussion.
A conference paper was put in front of everyone, with a brochure next to it, with words like ”new country international defense Expo 2017” written on it.
This pamphlet is designed by the military industry of the future people. The National Defense Department of new China, the main unit of exhibition prevention, is sent to the relevant procurement units of the invited countries through embassies in various countries. What's in front of everyone at the moment is a copy, which the CIA got from an invited country.
If only one country's Defense Exhibition, it is not enough for the Pentagon to fight such a battle.
The crux of the matter is the weapons that a country intends to sell at this exhibition
“…… The future military industry intends to sell EMP weapons and mechanical exoskeletons to the members of the Earth Defense Alliance. ” Looking around the colleagues present, defense minister Carter said with a dignified look, ”although it is not sure what kind of weapons they intend to export at present, we must pay enough attention to it. I believe you all know what it means to us if EMP weapons spread. ”
The senior defense officials and White House bureaucrats in the audience looked at each other, and it was obvious that they had felt a little bit bad from Carter's words.
After a moment's hesitation, the White House Military Adviser applied to speak, turning a ballpoint pen.
”On the other hand, does this mean that we also have a chance to get their EMP weapons? We have not made any effective progress in the technical bottleneck of EMP weapon research and development. If we can find a way to buy it from them... ”
”No way,” Carter said with a wry smile, shaking his head. ”No US military enterprise has been invited, and our purchasing unit is obviously not on their list.”
Let alone the United States. No NATO member states have been invited. All the 47 invited countries are members of the Earth Defense Alliance.
In a sense, the behavior of the new country also confirmed the conjecture of the United States.
