146: Conspiracy begins
After Dominic reported the equipment used by the Xinan Country National Defense Force to his home country, USA, John Country, and Gaolu Country were all collectively silenced.
They could not understand why a newly founded country could produce such advanced equipment, and it was self-designed at that.
It was another video conference between the three countries. Seeing that they could not win, the leaders of the three countries had to gather together again to study how to respond next.
"Everyone, speak up. What should we do next to make this Xinan Country behave? The current situation is set in stone. Relying solely on the military forces we control in Africa and the mercenary corps is definitely not enough to match the enemy, but King Kong Country must absolutely not be lost; our country has huge interests there," the President of USA spoke first.
"Are we really going to deploy our own regular armies?" the President of John Country replied, frowning.
"Not a chance," the President of Gaolu Country shook his head and continued to explain: "You know how severe the anti-war sentiment is in our countries right now due to the wars in Europe and the Middle East. If we open another battlefield in Africa, I'm afraid our time in these seats will come to an end."
"Then how about mediation? After all, it's just a border conflict. I don't believe Xinan Country won't show respect to our countries. Let King Kong Country apologize and pay compensation; it won't cost us any of our own money anyway," the President of John Country suggested again.
"If only it were that simple. The current situation is heading towards the worst-case scenario we imagined. This Xinan Country is no pushover. Did you see their statement? It's obvious they want to use this conflict to stir up trouble. Plus, having won battle after battle, would you spit out a piece of fat meat that's already in your mouth?" the President of USA analyzed.
"This won't work, that won't work. Tell me, what should we do?" the President of John Country replied, somewhat frustrated.
"There is one more way," the President of Gaolu Country said at this moment.
"What way?" the Presidents of USA and John Country asked simultaneously.
"The method I'm talking about has some potential drawbacks, but listen first. I want to bring in another party. We cannot send troops, but there are many others who can, such as the Neon Country. It's well known that Neon Country lacks resources, and their thirst for resources and land has reached a perverted level. Moreover, with the arrival of the new century, the natural environment is getting worse and worse. Typhoons, tsunamis, and other natural disasters have kept their island nation in a dangerous situation.
In China, this strategy is called 'driving the tiger to swallow the wolf.' Isn't Neon Country thirsty for land? With us around before, Neon Country couldn't get involved in Africa. This time, we'll give them a chance. As long as Neon Country can take down Xinan Country, what does it matter if we give them the land of Xinan Country? Of course, the right to allocate the resources of Xinan Country must remain in our own hands.
We all know clearly that although Neon Country only has a Self-Defense Force now, its military strength is not bad at all. I heard that Neon Country has been quite restless lately. Why not let them go to Africa and clash with Xinan Country? We can then sit back and reap the benefits.
Of course, this method also has drawbacks. I'm afraid that if Neon Country takes out Xinan Country, they won't be satisfied with the benefits they get and will become the next Xinan Country. This is something you, the President of USA, need to pay attention to," the President of Gaolu Country said.
The Presidents of USA and John Country fell into deep thought upon hearing this, especially the President of USA, who was calculating the pros and cons in his heart. You must know, Neon Country is a die-hard lackey of USA. The reason for this is that they were thoroughly defeated by USA during World War II; two nuclear bombs directly broke Neon Country's spine. But the President of USA naturally knows what kind of people the Neon people are. At the beginning of the new century, Neon Country had already exposed the risk of biting the hand that feeds it. Once allowed to develop and grow stronger, it would be an ungrateful vicious dog that cannot be tamed.
Furthermore, Neon Country is a shackle placed by USA in the Asia-Pacific region, mainly to guard against the increasingly powerful China...
After a long while, the President of USA said: "Fine. I will hold secret talks with the Neon government about this matter. This way, we will first conduct mediation and send peacekeeping forces over; that would be legitimate. If Xinan Country pushes too far, Neon Country's troops can also go over under the guise of peacekeeping forces. That way, no one can say anything."
"Good, let's do it!" Since the President of USA could make the decision, John Country and Gaolu Country were naturally happy to be idle.
After the meeting ended, the President of USA called the Prime Minister of Neon directly. The two talked for a long time, and no one knew what conspiracy they had reached. However, after the Prime Minister of Neon ended the call, he summoned the high-ranking officials of the Army, Navy, and Air Force of the Self-Defense Force for a secret meeting. When the high-ranking officials of the Army, Navy, and Air Force walked out of the conference room after the meeting, their eyes were filled with excited smiles.
The actions of the three countries, led by USA, were also very fast. Just as the Satan First Division had cleared out the remaining resistance forces in Bamu Ji City and wanted to continue advancing, the President of USA held a press conference, calling on Xinan Country and King Kong Country to calm down. The main point was that the two countries were only having a small conflict and it was not worth such a big mobilization. The United Nations, led by USA, could guarantee mediation and let the two countries stop the war first.
After USA finished its announcement, John Country and Gaolu Country followed suit, agreeing with USA's suggestion and sending a letter of mediation to Xinan Country.
President's Office in Luoda City, the capital of Xinan Country.
Qin Yang sat in the presidential chair, and Fernando placed the mediation letter in front of him.
"Boss, USA wants to intervene, along with John Country and Gaolu Country. These few are the main countries speaking out, followed by a bunch of bootlickers who are all just trying to kiss the feet of these few countries," Fernando said.
"Heh, it seems that this provocation by King Kong Country is likely the work of these few countries. Well, these countries do have huge interests in Africa," Qin Yang sneered.
"Then Boss, what about us?"
"Ignore them. Mediation? Mediate my ass. If we weren't powerful, do you think they would intervene? They fight when they can win, and when they can't, they want to play dirty tricks. In their dreams. Tell the soldiers on the front line to continue pushing forward for me. If there is resistance, kill them! The follow-up drone units and Army Aviation units should quickly enter the front line to support and coordinate operations. The Satan First and Second Divisions are both our ace units. We must avoid casualties as much as possible. Those weapons we produced are not just for show; use them all, especially the armed drones. If we can trade machines for human heads, we are making a profit!
I have decided to take King Kong Country, and no one can stop me!"
"Okay, Boss, I understand!" Fernando replied, bowing.
