The imprint of the universe and the return of all things

Section 1. Alternative Plans

At six o'clock in the morning, U.S. President Andrew Herbert, who was kept up all night by the bad situation in Silicon Valley, convened an emergency meeting of the U.S. National Security Council in the Situation Room of the White House.

In the situation room, Andrew Herbert was pacing back and forth angrily, and the members participating in the meeting were all sitting at the conference table with serious expressions.

Andrew Herbert cursed angrily:"You are crazy, crazy, you are actually using raw weapons to deal with our army in the city, Galen Scott was raised by a dog, he is a devil! I I will never let him go. I want him to die worse than a wild dog. None of those gangsters and the crazy entrepreneurs who support him will be let go. What they did is even more brutal than the Gong terrorists. , even if they are killed, they still deserve to die!"

He asked US Secretary of Defense David MacArthur:"Have the troops been assembled, and when can they launch an attack?"

David MacArthur said:"Northern Joint Operations Division The leadership has deployed a mechanized infantry/soldier division, two light infantry/soldier brigade combat teams, and an air/borne combat brigade at several strategic locations outside Silicon Valley, with a total of nearly 30,000 soldiers dispatched. Currently , the army is on standby, with the experienced combat veteran General Anthony Bezos (chief of the Northern Joint Operations Division) serving as the overall commander of this military operation. As long as you give an order, Mr. President, the army can launch an attack on Silicon Valley at any time. A full-scale attack."

Andrew Herbert listened and nodded with satisfaction.

However, David MacArthur continued with a heavy face:"However, Mr. President, I must remind you again that although the battle plan formulated by the Northern Joint Operations Division is already the best battle plan, it still has certain limitations. There is a greater risk. Even if our army finally annihilates all those exposed disciples, no, those"consolidated terrorists", we may have to pay a huge price for it. Due to the limited intelligence we have, we cannot We know Galen Scott’s next move, and we don’t know how many traps he has buried in Silicon Valley. We are on the strategic passive side, so this battle is destined to be very tragic, and the casualties of our army may be It was very tragic, even more tragic than any war we have experienced in the past ten years. What's even worse is that those"Gong terrorists" have no other clear signs except the green silk scarves tied on their arms. On a chaotic battlefield, our soldiers may accidentally injure many civilians. At that time, we may have to bear great political and public pressure."

Andrew Herbert said irritably:"Of course I know that there will be consequences if we storm in like this. It's a big risk, but do you have a better way? I've been delayed once before by that stupid old man Robert Fisher, which caused things to deteriorate to this point. Now, no matter how high the price is, I will We need to take decisive action to deal with Galen Scott and those damn exposers as soon as possible. We can’t delay it any longer! Otherwise, I don’t know what crazier things that devil Galen Scott will plan..Don’t forget, that devil still has a"mutant evolution agent" in his hand. If the clinical trial of the"mutant evolution agent" succeeds, he will have an army of superpowers, and our army will be able to defeat them by then. If our army can't win, do we still have to launch impeachment myself and raze the entire Silicon Valley to the ground?"

David MacArthur listened and remained silent.

The Secretary of State said to Andrew Herbert tremblingly:"Mr. President, please forgive me for being offended. I also think this matter should be carefully considered. In the more than 100 years since the Civil War, nothing has happened again in our country." After large-scale wars, a united and stable internal environment is one of the cornerstones of our country's prosperity and development. Now, once this war starts on the mainland, no matter what the outcome, our country's vitality will probably be severely damaged. By then, , our opponents will take advantage of the chaos to challenge our position in the world, our allies will gradually alienate us, or even get rid of our influence, and those terrorists from China will also take advantage of the situation to sneak in and create chaos within our borders. Various incidents. And aren't these what you have been most worried about? Therefore, I think that before the army launches an attack, maybe we can discuss it again and find a solution other than military means to resolve this crisis."

The words of the Secretary of State touched the heart of Andrew Herbert. After Andrew Herbert calmed down a little, he thought seriously and slowly walked back to his seat and sat down.

Then, he glanced sharply at all the members participating in the meeting, and said slowly:"If I give you two hours, can you come up with a good idea for me to solve the problem without fighting? Kurt's kind of a good idea. War is indeed not a good method, but if you can't think of other methods, it is the only method. So, guys, for the sake of the great United States of America, use your brains quickly.. Now I’m going to have a meeting with the members of our party to discuss how to put all the responsibility for the failure of the annihilation of the army stationed in Silicon Valley on Robert Fisher and their party. I want to put pressure on them so that They should stop obstructing us in California and holding us back. I will come back here in about two hours. If you can't come up with a good way, I have no choice but to order a formal attack.

" , he stood up and prepared to leave the situation room.

At this time, FBI Director Gabriel Gonzalez suddenly said:"Mr. President, please stay. In fact, I have a plan right now that may be able to find where Galen Scott is hiding."

Andrew Herb Te sat back in his seat and said doubtfully:"The FBI has been struggling for so long but still failed to find Galen Scott. Why didn't you tell me earlier if you had a good idea?"

Gabriel Gonzalez said:"This is because this plan also has high risks and requires a high price. The situation has not deteriorated to this point before. We have other options, so I have not put it forward. But the matter is now, I think it is It's time to think about this plan."

Andrew Herbert said:"Tell me, what is your plan?"

Gabriel Gonzalez said:"I suggest using Ito Kenichi as bait. Use him to find Galen Scott." Andrew Herbert was startled when he heard the name"Kenichi Ito", and then said:"Tell me more details."

Gabriel Gonzalez said:"Ito He is one of the key figures in Scott's so-called"universe domination" plan. Although Scott has obtained the wormhole transmission technology from Ito, I believe that Scott still values ​​Ito's talent and hopes that Ito can continue to contribute to the project. He works. Therefore, I plan to persuade Ito to be our intermediary, and then set up a trap to let Scott take the initiative to bring Ito back to him. Then Ito will try to secretly pass the information about Scott back to us. In this way, only a small-scale military operation can solve Scott and avoid a large-scale local war."

After Andrew Herbert thought for a while, he said in a deep voice:"You should also know very well that we spent a lot of time. It took so much effort, manpower and material resources to get Kenichi Ito. Now, you want me to hand over Kenichi Ito. The price is too high," said Gabriel Gonzalez. :"Kenichi Ito's greatest value to us is just the wormhole transmission technology he has in his hands. And this technology, we can now also obtain it from Sakura Muto, a female cadre of the Koirikai who is imprisoned in prison. It is not We have to rely on Ito. What's more, Ito is firmly opposed to using his technology for military purposes. He may be an obstacle to us in the future. Therefore, I think that Ito, who is of little use, can be exchanged for tens of thousands of The lives of soldiers and civilians and the peace and security of the American homeland are very cost-effective."

After Andrew Herbert pondered for a moment, he said decisively:"I have said that Kenichi Ito is a very important"political trump card" for me. I originally planned to use this"trump card" to prepare for my next move. It will add weight to the general election. However, if I can really find Scott through Ito, I am willing to give up this"trump card"! Gabriel, what are you going to do specifically? As far as I know, that guy Ito is very good to us. If there is hostility, can you guarantee that he will serve us loyally? And Scott is so cunning, will he trust that kid Ito so easily?" Gabriel

Gonzalez said:"Mr. President, frankly, I don't I am 100% sure that Ito can be persuaded to be completely loyal to us. But at least I know that Ito hates Scott who deceived him and killed innocent people more than us. He is eager to stop Scott's various evil deeds. I believe that he will be willing to cooperate with us. As for how to design it to get Ito to go to Scott, I want our acting assistant executive director of the FBI, Ashley Clark, to explain it in detail. In fact, this It was she who came up with the plan. Mr. President, could you please allow the Situation Room to have a video connection to FBI headquarters?"

Andrew Herbert nodded slightly.

Subsequently, White House staff opened the large screen in the Situation Room and connected to the FBI headquarters via video communication. Ashley, who was sitting in the FBI headquarters conference room waiting for orders, immediately appeared in the video.

After Gabriel Gonzalez briefly explained to Ashley, Ashley began to explain her plan to everyone.

Since Ashley had performed well in previous operations in Switzerland, Andrew Herbert admired Ashley quite a bit, so he listened to Ashley's report very carefully.

After listening to the report, Andrew Herbert felt that although Ashley's plan was good, it might not be so smooth during the actual implementation process, and there would be a lot of uncertainty. He was worried about it and couldn't make up his mind for a while.. So he asked other members of the committee for their opinions. Other members have expressed their opinions one after another, and they all agree that this plan has certain feasibility and is more worth trying than directly launching a large-scale attack.

Andrew Herbert suddenly saw that everyone supported Ashley's plan. After careful consideration, he finally decided to postpone the attack on Silicon Valley. He agreed to let the FBI implement the plan first and gave the FBI three days.
