Chapter 1462: E
“I propose to increase troops to Colombia! And mobilize our allies, especially the parasites who are in arrears with NATO military expenditure!”
“Not a bad idea, but very difficult to execute The United Kingdom has sent two divisions to support us, and France has also sent a division We cannot expect them to invest more troops for South America that is not in their interests…”
“What about Turkey? If we promise to help them enter the European Union…”
“Then ill offend at least twenty allies!”
“…”
There were endless quarrels and argulobe in the corner of the table without a word as he was iht
The probleined
Although the defense budget had continued to increase, the number of soldiers had steadily decreased
Since the end of the Iraq War and the end of the Afghanistan War, the total number of UA Army soldiers had dropped from 570,000 at its peak in 2012 to 480,000 in 2020 The current number of active soldiers was about 300,000 in the Air Force, about 320,000 in the Navy, and about 180,000 in the Marine Corps Of course, these stats did not include the National Guards in each state It was easier to mobilize the reserves to participate in a war than to mobilize the National Guards
In asy troops was sufficient for a country with superior sea power Unfortunately, they were now at a disadvantage against the technical prowess of Celestial Trade Fortunately, Hill in her term suspended Obama’s plan to reduce troops, otherwise, the current situation would only be worse…
“Folks,” National Security Advisor John McCain knocked on the table with his knuckles and signaled everyone to stop arguing and look to him He raised his voice and said, “There are already 130,000 of our soldiers fighting for Colombia’s freedom Based on the data analyzed by the top e in Colombia, we need to invest at least an arascar Volunteers are on the way, and those Third World gangsters will drag us into the mess”
At this point, McCain paused for a moment before he continued
“You all overlooked the most effective method”
“While Celestial Trade is powerful, their strategic depth is lih-tech factories concentrated in Xin Instead of throwing hundreds of thousands of people into the bottomless pit of Coloht in the Western Pacific Launch our intercontinental reat, they can’t ap in numbers!”
“We’ll launch 400 Tomahawk cruise ic nuclear strike on the Ange Island Industrial Base Even if they can ar thee!”
“You are a lunatic!” Another advisor sitting next to him exclaimed, “We are not the only ones with nuclear weapons! If they launch a retaliatory attack on our hoains are i as we absorb their technology and rely on the industrial strength of us and our allies, ill be able to colonize the Gliese 581 in a few decades! Instead of defending against aliens in front of the door!”
As for blowing up the space elevator, as long they possessed the technology, they could just build another one Once the new space elevator rose again, they could take over Celestial Trade’s Moon and Mars colony At that time, the UA would lead the mankind of the future, not Xin or Celestial Trade!
“This is too risky”
Mike Pence frowned, but he was seriously deliberating this possibility
He had heard of the subo, but Hill did one thing positive before she left office, and that was to introduce the THAAD air defense system into Guam and Wake Island If Xin launched intercontinental h probability that they would be able to co the boost phase…
But if the missiles could not be intercepted…
Just when Mike Pence was hesitating, there was a phone call
McCain still wanted to persuade, but when he saw the President picked up the phone, he closed his mouth politely
