Volume 12 Prelude to the Great War Chapter 65 The Conversation of Politicians

Now the Baixin channel connected to others is closed! After that, Duqiwei is about to go to the table, and Mrs. Gebrin wants to talk to him about some important things separately.

"General, the situation is very clear." Mrs. Lobring went straight to the point, looking very sincere. "Although we have made adjustments and deployments to the current tension, we can do very limited things before we obtain the war authorization from Congress. In fact, even if the president can obtain the war authorization today, we will not have time to send more troops to the war zone in time. The cruel fact before us is that war is likely to break out before we complete the deployment. That is to say, Türkiye is likely to face the powerful Republican army alone.

Duchway did not speak. Through this period of contact, he already knew Mrs. Lobring's power.

“What’s worse is that Israel faces the same threat.”

When she said this, Mrs. Lobring paid great attention to Duchwie's change in expression.

Although he did not notice Mrs. Lobring's gaze, after all, the quality of network communications could not reach the reality level, Duchway immediately heard what Mrs. Lobring meant. He also controlled his facial muscles without showing too surprised or other overly obvious expressions.

"General"

"Ms. Secretary of State. I understand what you mean." Duqiwei only thought for a moment and decided to flip the cards with Mrs. Lobrin. "At the meeting, there was a question I had never raised, that is, all China's actions against Turkey now have a longer-term plan. To put it bluntly, that is, China wants to use the Turkish Kurdish issue to completely solve the Middle East issue."

"You mean, China will take the initiative to launch a military attack on Israel?"

Duchway knew that Mrs. Lobring was asking questions knowingly, so he nodded without doing any details.

release.

A look of surprise flashed across Mrs. Lobring's face, and then she cast inquiring eyes at Duchwie.

There is no way to flip the cards to the Secretary of State. What happened at Zhengri and Daori was enough to make Duqiwei believe. All actions against Turkey are illusions. The real purpose of the Republic is to deal with Israel; Pei Chengyi used the tactic of "striking the east and attacking the west". The problem is that this kilogram did not change Duqiwei's situation, but instead made his future more dangerous. From Duqiwei's standpoint, whether Turkey is finished or Israel is finished, he, the front-line commander-in-chief, has to bear the responsibility.

During the video conference, Duchway spent so much effort on some irrelevant topics just to figure out Mrs. Lobring's position. Although Duchway had ten thousand reasons to believe that Mrs. Lobring was an absolute politician, he also knew that Mrs. Lobring was a politician with great ambitions.

According to Duchway's understanding, Mrs. Lobring pursues a perfect combination of national interests and personal interests.

This is exactly the same as Duchwit's pursuit.

In this case, Duchway had reason to believe that Mrs. Lobring would put national interests first.

Under the current situation, if you want to realize the national interests of the United States, you must protect the two alliances of the United States.

.

In other words, as long as Mrs. Lobring is still thinking about the country, she will not use Turkey or Israel to deal with Duchway. She will do everything possible to help Duchway win this war. At least until she wins, Duchway should not be allowed to take the blame for the US government.

Influenced by this, Duchwit decided to have a good talk with Mrs. Lobring.

After pondering for a while, Duchwie broke the silence and said, "I still stick to my starting point that China will not attack Israel without a reason. In other words, in order to attack Israel, the Chinese authorities will fabricate a reason as they do now."

Mrs. Lobring was not surprised, but asked Duchway to continue.

"The current situation is that as long as the Chinese army attacks fiercely in the north, we will have no choice." Duqiwei sighed. He said, "Admiral Rodriguez made it clear when introducing the situation. Our military deployment is far from reaching a certain level, and it is very likely that it will be in an extremely unfavorable situation in the early stage of the war. Because the first Marines arrived at the first Marines, and the first Marines were the first to enter the battle. Therefore, after the First Marines Division arrived in Israel, as long as the Chinese army made a strategic breakthrough in the north, we would have no choice but to put the Second Marines Division in Turkey, launch an attack from the flanks, and force the Chinese army to give up the assault. Unfortunately, the value of the Second Marines Division will definitely be

It is very limited, especially when China invests three combat units, it can only delay the attack speed of the Chinese army at most, and it is impossible to block the attack of the Chinese army. Considering the strong air transport capability of the Chinese army and the possibility of continuing to invest in ground forces, we even have reason to believe that the second Marine Division's roundabout attack in the north will not achieve any results. In this case, we will be desperate and can only allow the Israeli army, the First Marine Division deployed in Israel, and even the later army combat forces arrived from the Golan Heights to march from the Golan Heights to Damascus, forcing the Chinese army to place its main force on the southern battlefield, thus providing the Chinese army with reasons to attack Israel."

Mrs. Lobring's expression suddenly dimmed.

Duchway did not continue to say it, but slowly lit the cigar.

"Is there no other solution?" Mrs. Lobrin had to ask. The address of this site has been changed to: I wish you abstain from your heart, please log in to read it if you delete it!

"If there were other solutions, we wouldn't be so passive."

Mrs. Lobring sighed and said, "If this is the case, how likely is our victory."

"Ms. Secretary of State, I think it's too early to talk about the chances of winning now."

"What's the meaning?"

Duqiwei hesitated for a moment and said, "No matter what, before considering victory, fighting against a super heavyweight opponent like China, you must first consider how much price it will cost to win. That is to say, to win this regional war that is likely to be the largest after World War II, how many troops we need to dispatch and how many soldiers we are prepared to sacrifice in the war. If we are not fully prepared, I believe that we will definitely not be the one who laughs to the end.

Mrs. Lobring was stunned for a moment, then understood what Duchwit meant.

It is obvious that Duchewei is dissatisfied with many of the actions of the United States' government, especially in the deployment of troops, and has not taken this war of head-on battle with another superpower seriously. In fact, this is also the third time the United States and the Republic, and in the first two battles, the United States suffered a loss and was a de facto loser.

"General, too, also know that we must act according to the law." Mrs. Lobring knew that Duchwie must be given greater assurance so that the only general who was able to command the American army to win would focus all his energy on the war. "I can guarantee that after obtaining the war authorization of Congress, I will convince the President to give you the highest military command, and you will mobilize all military forces except the strategic forces."

Duchway did not rush to express his opinion, because the conditions offered by Mrs. Lobring were not generous enough.

"In addition, you can mobilize the generals in the Ministry of Defense. Of course, during the war, you can also mobilize the intelligence resources including the Four and Posts." Mrs. Lobring paused for a moment and said, "In short, as long as you can win this war, you can mobilize all resources that you think are necessary."

Duqiwei nodded slightly and said, "Ms. Secretary of State, what if we are destined to not win?"

Mrs. Lobring immediately frowned and expressed her dissatisfaction with Duchwie's statement.

"I mean, if all the victory is not destined to be won, who will be responsible will be borne by the

"General, what do you mean by all victory?"

"Of course, we won the final victory on both fronts, and even overthrew the Syrian and Iraq regimes. Anyway, everything ended in the most favorable way for us." Duqiwei talked around and then fell to the point. "In short, what I want to know is that the purpose of our fight is to include the highest goal and the most basic goal."

Now, Du Qiwei made the words clear.

Obviously, Duchwie asked not about the purpose of the war, but about distinguishing responsibilities.

In other words, in what way does Duchwit not take responsibility for the war?

In fact, this is also Duqiwei’s biggest concern. If this issue is not clear, Duqiwei will definitely not be able to command the US military to fight with peace of mind.

Mrs. Lobring is an excellent politician. It is impossible not to know what Duchwie means.

After pondering for a while, she said, "For us, the best result is of course what you started to say. On the two fronts, it is about winning or even eliminating a few disobedient governments. In order to achieve such a goal, we must pay an extremely heavy price, which runs contrary to our national interests. From another perspective, the authorities of the Republic have obtained the war authorization and will invest in the national war power. If we blindly expand the purpose of the war, it will only lead to the rapid expansion of the scale of the war. At that time, it will not be a regional war, but a world war." The address of this site has been changed to: Exorcist the heart, please log in to the Dharma to read it!

Duchway nodded and waited for Mrs. Lobring to continue speaking.

"At the end of the day, this is a regional war deliberately created and provoked by the Republican authorities. As an important force in maintaining regional stability and peace, our mission is to defend national interests besides teaching the invaders. And for us, the most fundamental national interest is to maintain the status quo, that is, to bring the situation in the Middle East back to its past through war." Mrs. Lobring glanced at Duchwie and said, "General, is this clear enough?"

Duqiwei thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "It's very clear, at least it makes me understand how to command."

"General, now I want to get your guarantee."

Duchway knew that Mrs. Lobring would ask this question, and he had already prepared the answer.

In order to show "sincerity", Du Qiwei seemed very serious and thought for a while before speaking: "Like Ms. Secretary of State's view, I have always realized that realizing our interests in the Middle East is not as simple as overthrowing the governments of some or several countries. In the long run, maintaining the current state is the best result. In any case, we are vested interests in the Middle East. It is not us who need to gain benefits through changes, but China. Therefore, China is making a big fuss about the Kurdish issue."

Mrs. Lobring did not comment on Duchwie's remarks, nor could she express her opinion.

Although it is well known that as early as when Brandino was in power, the United States' sphere of influence in the Middle East was threatened by the republic. It was not Landes who actively adjusted its Middle East strategy and proposed the slogan of "change", but Branven, the most savvy thing about the Democratic president is that he did not turn the slogan into action. Instead, he left the important task to Landes. Therefore, "seeking change" not only became Landes' slogan, but also became his main political policy for months in power. Duchway criticized this unrealistic political policy. Whether it makes sense or not, as Secretary of State of the US federal government, you will not be subject to unnecessary opposition. Lobrinf's Zhishishipin Xiaohui expressed his opinion.

Of course, Mrs. Lobring would not not understand what Duchwie said.

With just a little politically savvy, you can hear another meaning from Duchwie's words, that is, this senior Democratic member who has worked with Brandino for 8 years is already tired of some of the Democratic practices, and has even seen through the hypocritical aspects of the Democratic Party and is seeking new partners.

Duchway sent some kind of signal to say the least.

If Mrs. Lobring had taken this signal seriously in the past, but at this time, she would not give any reply.

Duchway also knew that Mrs. Lobring would not make a statement, so he continued: "First of all, we have to admit that our chances of victory are not as great as we imagined. Even if we invest all our strength, I cannot guarantee all victory. In any case, we are facing the most powerful enemy in history, and we also have to face a talented general. According to my understanding of the Chinese army and Pei Chengyi, we can win in one direction at most, and it is difficult to guarantee victory in two directions."

"Even if I go all my concubines, I can't win in both directions?"

"Ms. Secretary of State, the Chinese head of state has obtained the war authorization. Like our situation, can the Chinese authorities accept a fruit without any fruit of victory?"

Mrs. Lobring hesitated for a moment, then understood.

Fact 7: She had seen through this issue for a long time, but it was hard to raise it directly. She needed to use Duchwie's mouth to explain it thoroughly. In this way, she convinced officials in the US federal government, generals of the US military, and members of Congress to accept an incomplete victory when necessary.

"To put it bluntly, we must learn to make choices." The address of this site has been changed to: Fanggu, Zhou Jing, please log in to read!

"I see.

Mrs. Lobring sighed and said, "General Duchwit, you should know that if we give up an ally that has existed for decades without any effort, neither me nor the President, can satisfy the members of Congress. You also know that according to our country's system, as long as Congress thinks it is necessary, the war will not end."

Duchway's brow jumped a few times, and understood what Mrs. Lobring meant.

"As the commander of the front line, you know more than me. I just hope that you can do your best." Mrs. Lobring couldn't say it too directly, because her correspondence with Duchwie must have been backed up and she will be in a fight in the future. This is evidence. "As you said, we are facing the most powerful enemy ever. And we have lost to this opponent twice on the battlefield. Being involved in the Middle East War is the most reluctant result. From our standpoint, the basis of national interests is to ensure that the situation in the Middle East will not change much, which is also your basic task. On this premise, you have the right to make a choice based on the actual situation on the battlefield."

Duqiwei nodded and said, "That is, I can decide whether to make a truce?"

"No, the power of the armistice is in the hands of Congress and the President." Mrs. Lobring said without negligence, "General Duchwi, as a soldier, your power is to command the army to fight. Of course, as the supreme commander of the front line, you can use the power in your hands to create a truce environment that is beneficial to us."

Duchway smiled, showing that he understood what Mrs. Lobring meant and did not ask any more questions.

Although there is no shortage of precedent for generals to sign a ceasefire agreement in the history of the United States, at this time, Mrs. Lobring would definitely not open this golden mouth. According to Mitsune's law, only under the authorization of the president can the general have the right to sign a legal ceasefire agreement. In any case, Mrs. Lobring is also a member of the Republican Party, and her interests are with the Republican Party, so there is no reason to stand on the same boat with Ducheway. The problem is that Mrs. Lobring is very clear about the importance of Ducheway, so she gave Ducheway a hope.

Influencing domestic governments through the development of war is an easy way.

As early as during the Peninsula War, Ducheway, who was not very political, did this, and eventually forced the US authorities to decide to give up the Korean Peninsula. For Ducheway, who is already proficient in politics, creating a situation that allows the US authorities to sit down and sign a ceasefire agreement with his opponents is definitely not difficult.

From Duchway's standpoint, what he wanted was Mrs. Lobring's attitude.

Whether to sign a ceasefire agreement must be decided by the US federal government. It is absolutely not a bad thing to communicate with the Secretary of State in advance so that the Secretary of State can keep a clear mind. Especially when this Secretary of State has an influence on the president and even makes strategic decisions on behalf of the president, it is necessary to get a vaccination in advance.

The two discussed a few more insignificant issues before ending the video conference.

At this time, Landers' speech in the House ended. Because the head of state of the Republic had obtained the war authorization, the whole debate was no longer held under the motion of the Speaker of the House. Only one representative of each party made a declarative defense, and then a vote was made.

In the evening of that day, the U.S. House of Representatives formally granted the U.S. President limited war rights.

Because the Senate has no power to veto the war power granted to the president by the House of Representatives and can only engage in symbolic debates at most, Landers has obtained limited national power.

At this point, the other side of the Middle East War finally took the stage.
