If you want to be a qualified politician, you must learn one thing.
"There are no eternal enemies, and there are no eternal friends. There are only eternal interests!"
Facing Connard's proposal, among the people present, except for some people in the military, they were not happy. Those pure politicians are all in favor!
Although these politicians represent the interests of capital, war will create great benefits for them. However, that must be a war that can be won!
All of them are well aware that New Tuvalu has the ability to dismantle their chain of command!
In a meeting room with a very high level of security, Connard took the negotiation plan given by his presidential think tank and waited for the connection with New Tuvalu to be connected!
Compared with Connard's side who is ready to fight, New Tuvalu's side is extremely relaxed.
In the palace office, His Majesty the King of New Tuvalu sat casually on a chair, listening to the red landline phone ringing in front of him!
One, two, three!
Li Daniu picked up the phone when Burns and others next to him were a little anxious!
"Hi, I'm Tarek II!"
"Hi, I'm Conrad!"
The corner of Li Daniu's mouth curled up a bit, and he remained silent.
And Conrad, who finished reporting his name, was furious in his heart. Since he became the President of the United States, this was the attitude when someone called him for the first time on this planet.
Suppressing his anger, Konrad said: "Our military satellites are being attacked by an unknown type of space fighter. At present, more than 12 satellites have been destroyed!"
"Oh..." Li Daniu elongated his voice, and then asked in amazement: "Are you sure it's a space fighter? Was it developed by us earthlings, or was it aliens?"
Forcibly resisting the urge to drop the phone, Konrad said, "I'm sure it's a space fighter, and it was developed by us people on Earth."
Li Daniu continued to exclaim: "It's unbelievable. Our new Tuvalu has been doing research in this area. However, so far we have only developed the S-9, and we have no idea about the real space fighter! "
Conrad took a deep breath, and the length of this breath made the chief strategist next to him startled.
"His Majesty King Tarek, the most urgent issue now is that an unknown space fighter continues to destroy our satellites."
At this time, Conrad has completely let go of his anger and turned back into a qualified politician. He said in a very calm voice: "So, we want to borrow your country's S-9 aerospace fighters and space-based satellites to protect our satellites. If possible, we also hope to borrow your company's satellites to launch Let’s launch our X-37B space reconnaissance plane!”
Whether New Tuvalu's S-9 and space-based satellites can be used for the legendary space fighter does not need to be considered. Including borrowing the satellite launch site of New Tuvalu, it is all to show their soft attitude.
After learning about this attitude, Burns and the others were instantly excited, because the person on the other side of the phone was recognized by many countries as the number one power in the world!
According to common sense, at this time, His Majesty the King of New Tuvalu should put forward the conditions for his truce on the grounds that he needs to charge fees.
However, will the king of New Tuvalu be willing to play his cards according to common sense?
"I'm so sorry!"
Li Daniu's words not only made Connard's heart suddenly cold, but even Burns and the others who had just become excited were shocked!
"Our space-based satellites cannot attack targets in space. The main function of the S-9 high-altitude interceptor is to fight inside the atmosphere. There is absolutely no way for space fighters!"
Conrad asked unwillingly: "What about our request for borrowing your country's satellite launch base?"
Li Daniu laughed and said: "Of course there is no problem with this, but our new Tuvalu is a small country. When we launched the second space-based satellite before, our rockets have been used up. If your country wants to borrow our At the rocket launch site, we need a week to assemble a new rocket!"
The rocket standards used by different rocket launch sites are of course different. But Li Daniu's excuse is also full of loopholes, because no country will only have one rocket after it has the technology to launch rockets!
Conrad thought he was an old-fashioned politician, and he could have the advantage of his old fritters in front of young people like the new King of Tuvalu.
However, he forgot one thing, that is, he is now in an absolutely weak position in front of the king of New Tuvalu!
Tit for tat, that requires the same level of strength!
Conrad's chief strategic analyst quickly wrote a sentence on the cardboard next to him.
"Your Majesty King Tarek." Konrad cleared his throat and said, "Which country do you think is most likely to develop a real aerospace fighter? And why does this country keep attacking our satellites?"
Li Daniu sighed in his heart, not because this question was difficult to answer, but because he suddenly felt a little unreal.
The president of the most powerful country in the world is now subdued again and again in front of him!
"I think there are only a few countries that can possess this technology, but these countries have no reason to attack your country's satellites. Because there seems to be no international disputes about your country recently." Li Daniu replied: "Perhaps, Just like after your country's army was hijacked by terrorists, the air and space fighters that attacked you were also hijacked by terrorists?"
Conrad confirmed what the new King of Tuvalu meant, that is, you dare to intercept our launch vehicle, and you dare to send people pretending to be terrorists to try to destroy me, so I want to destroy your satellites!
"Your country has created a success that has amazed the whole world in eliminating terrorists." Conrad asked, "Facing the problems our country is currently facing, what good advice does His Majesty Tarek have? ?”
Li Daniu laughed and said: "Of course, we in New Tuvalu are committed to eradicating all terrorists in the world. We will definitely take the current situation in your country very seriously, and I will immediately arrange for people to investigate!"
Just when Connard thought that His Majesty the King of New Tuvalu was still perfunctory, he heard something that shocked him!
Li Daniu said: "After the investigation results come out, we will definitely eliminate all the terrorists who participated in the operation. And, please rest assured, we will find out everyone behind those terrorists at the same time. No matter who they are, as long as they are involved This terrorist attack will be the enemy of our new Tuvalu. We will definitely make them pay the price! Only these people will pay the price, and no terrorist will dare to provoke your country and us in the future New Tuvalu, as well as the world, is the ultimate goal of our new Tuvalu!"
The high-sounding words made Connard's heart sink more and more.
After babbling a few more words, Connard hung up the phone in a hurry, and then looked at the chief strategic analyst next to him, and other people who participated in the conversation.
Because this conversation is so important, Conrad and his chief strategist are not the only ones who can hear the conversation.
And the others who heard it were all real politicians. They all understand What the last sentence of the new King of Tuvalu means!
The member of Congress whispered: "I don't know what you have done to New Tuvalu before, but it is nothing more than the two things that happened recently. Now the meaning of the King of New Tuvalu is obvious. As long as we can Give enough punishment to those involved and they will give up!"
The Secretary of Defense was the first to voice his disapproval when he heard what the MP had to say.
"How can we compromise with New Tuvalu?"
The Secretary of Defense knew that if he were to be held accountable, he would end badly. Therefore, he said firmly and abnormally: "I suggest that an all-out war be launched on New Tuvalu immediately! Mr. President, what do you think?"
Conrad pondered for a moment, and finally said: "I will apply to Congress for the right to go to war!"
The congressman present, who has a lot of supporters in Congress, frowned and said: "It is impossible for Congress to pass!"
Connard also said very firmly: "Then I will go to war first, and then report to Congress! You know, I have this right!"
