Chapter 26： Rhetoric and intelligence

It is said that the love of the robe on the battlefield can always create the deepest friendship. After two tribulations together, Hawkeye also trusts Chen Lu, a brave and kind-hearted young guy more and more. While everyone was busy caring about Armstrong's situation, Chen Lu hurriedly collected information from Hawkeye about the actions taken by the US government to deal with the virus outbreak. After all, the most precious thing in the 21st century is intelligence, and the identity of the Eagle Eye S.H.I.E.L.D. agent is the biggest reason why Chen Lu is anxious to infect him.

"Eagle Eye, why hasn't the US government sent troops to wipe out all these zombies and keep them trapped here?" This is the most basic question as a survivor, and Chen Lu naturally intends to start with this question.

In fact, Hawkeye is also annoying to be asked about this question. As a government agency agent, he certainly knows the embarrassment of the government, but most civilians will only use this as an excuse. Just when he wanted to go over it casually, he saw Chen Lu's serious eyes and suddenly felt that even if he told the truth, it might be understandable for someone with leadership ability like Chen Lu.

So Hawkeye sighed lightly and told Chen Lu the actual situation: "Because we still don’t know the mechanism of this zombie virus, it is still unknown what kind of combat effectiveness the zombie still hides, so we rushed to send a small number of troops over. I'm afraid it will only create more zombies. Think about it if we want to clean up all the zombies in Queens, then in order to avoid casualties, we need at least hundreds of thousands of troops? But to assemble such a huge army, a week How can time be enough? The government is currently relocating overseas aircraft carrier battle groups. By then, at least three aircraft carrier combat formations will be stationed in New York to fight, but all of this will take some time. This is a war and not a trifling matter, my friend. "

Chen Lu nodded to express his understanding, and then asked: "What about the vaccine? As long as the vaccine is developed, we don't have to be afraid of these zombies. The army can also boldly march in to rescue us."

"Vaccine?" Hawkeye smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Child, do you know how long it takes for humans to develop a virus vaccine? Although I don't know much about biology, I still know this—— Not to mention cracking a virus, even discovering a virus is a big problem! The World Health Organization has been fully researching a virus vaccine for this zombie virus, but just seven days is too short for them. Yes, please trust them and give them more time."

"According to you, these zombies can't be eliminated in a short time." Chen Lu also laughed bitterly, of course, in fact, he was happy.

"It's not that it can't be eliminated, but how much we need to pay." Hawkeye looked up at the ceiling and sighed helplessly: "Although these things have happened countless times in the movie, once things happen in reality In China, we still find it difficult to make a choice. If these zombies madly attack the defense line laid by the military, then they might force the government to make a decision as soon as possible. But this group of zombies did not do so, even I think they took the initiative to avoid The contact with the army’s defenses allowed the government to temporarily settle down and be unable to make a decision."

"What about countries other than the United States? Someone will always figure out a way?" At this time, Chen Lu's question has already touched on issues in the diplomatic field, a bit involving state secrets.

However, Hawkeye’s grievances against the international community have reached a point where it is a bit intolerable. He did not hesitate and replied with a little excitement: "Other countries? Which do you mean, Russia, China or the European Union? Do you think they can have any good suggestions? Isn’t it just using the pressure of national public opinion to force us to throw nuclear bombs into New York! Anyway, it is the United States that has suffered losses, and at the same time it can wipe out all the zombies. They really want to die for the best of these two things! New York is the number one in our country. If a large city is bombed by a nuclear bomb, the history of the United States as the most powerful country in the world may be over. For those countries that have always hated the United States, what good ideas do you think they will give?"

"So, the U.S. government is planning to drop nuclear bombs in New York? Even that other countries are planning to drop nuclear bombs in New York?"

"That is the last resort! What's more, there are still tens of millions of people in New York who have not yet been evacuated!" Hawkeye was so excited that he almost jumped up. It seems that these things have been held back in his heart for a long time. He hit the ground with a punch and said unwillingly: "Unless the zombie's attack really forces the government to be too tight or even collapse, otherwise this method must not be used!"

Chen Lu said anxiously: "It's hard to say... If the zombies break through the military's defenses, even if the U.S. government refuses to launch nuclear bombs, other countries will throw them down in the name of righteousness. After all. It is a crisis for all mankind. Perhaps the international community is ready to sacrifice the entire nation of the United States..."

"I will never allow my motherland to be a victim of saving mankind! Absolutely not!" Hawkeye said with clenched fists and gritted teeth. But in fact, he himself knows that even if the United States is the world's largest power, its status in the international community cannot be higher than that of all mankind. If other countries see the situation wrongly and launch a nuclear bomb to New York, they might really get the support of most countries in the world.

Okay A brief summary is: zombies can be eliminated, but the US government is unwilling to pay too much, so it is under tremendous pressure from the international community. The U.S. military is convening a large army, and vaccines are also being developed, but all this will take time. Throwing a nuclear bomb is the most effective solution, but whether the nuclear bomb should be thrown or who should be thrown is a matter that governments all over the world are arguing about.

All of this is still in the middle of the calculation. Human beings are such a race that cannot give up infighting at any time. If the US government can decisively sacrifice its own national interests for the sake of all mankind, the zombie crisis may have been resolved long ago. However, this is impossible. Unless the attack of the zombie army completely collapses the US government, and then allows other countries to take over the United States to control the overall situation, the United States will eliminate the zombies at all costs.

The US government is currently the umbrella of Chen Lu’s zombie army, at least for the time being. When the interests of the United States are opposed to the interests of all mankind, disputes will inevitably occur. Such disputes cannot be resolved in just one week.

is really a delicate balance.

Of course, Chen Lu is not to sit back and relax. The US army is slowly gathering and the zombie virus vaccine is constantly being developed. These are all things he must find a way to solve. And being able to shed so many words from Hawkeye also made Chen Lu more determined to use his identity as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent to intercept intelligence for himself.

The advantage in intelligence must be the number one advantage Chen Lu must have to destroy the world!

The strategic importance of the eagle eye chess piece is self-evident!
