Firepower is king

Judging from the shooting club's adaptability, it is no problem to hold a meeting in a short period of time to deal with emergencies.

Without special circumstances, the shooting club can still ensure that all members of the shooting club attend the meeting, and when facing such a big change, all members of the shooting club must attend the meeting.

Or was it that Lloyd spoke of the predicament before him, and that it was a matter of urgency to make a decision. Not solving, but making a decision, in other words making a choice.

"Donte asked me to do something crazy for him. I don't know what it is yet, but I'm sure the consequences will be serious. I can't think about it right now. Please help me think about it."

Lloyd's tone remained calm, but everyone knew what his predicament was. .??.

In fact, the choice is easy to make, that is, we must not be tied to Donte's boat, especially the shooting club cannot be dragged into the water.

Eric, who helped bring Lloyd and Biden on the line, still has a say at this time.

Eric said without hesitation: "You must not follow Donte to death. No matter what he does, as long as you still stand with him, the result will not be good."

Tom said hesitantly: "Can you please both sides? After this period of time, it will be fine when Biden takes office."

Lloyd smiled bitterly, and then he said helplessly: "The result of trying to please both sides is often to offend both sides. It would be best to stabilize the current situation, but I think if I don't agree to Donte's request, then I He must be dismissed immediately."

Marcus hesitated, but he still whispered: "Is it okay to resign? Take the initiative to resign. Today is already the 7th. In less than half a month, Biden will take office. As long as these ten years have passed, God, can you go back again?”

"It's impossible. This kind of position is reserved for our own people who need to be rewarded. If the general stays as the White House military advisor, he will have the opportunity to continue to serve as Biden's military advisor. But if he resigns Or be dismissed, then the possibility of becoming a military adviser under Biden’s office is too low.”

Speaking Jane, she rarely speaks on such occasions, but when she does speak, it always has the final say.

It's not because of Jane's high status, nor because she is a woman, but because of the nature of Jane's work, which allows her to access a large amount of information that others cannot, and when making decisions, she has more information for reference than others. Then Jane's words naturally carry weight.

Jian sighed tiredly, and then she continued in a low voice: "Donte is not willing to fail. He plans to do some extremely immature things. Now he has started to operate. If he gets involved in these things, it means The end of Zhengji’s life.”

No one asked Donte what he planned to do, because Jian Jian could tell

If so, then she has already said it.

Everyone was silent. After a long time, Lloyd finally whispered: "Okay, I will resign voluntarily. Resigning voluntarily means that I have made a break with Donte. In this case, there is hope for a comeback in the future."

Giving up the current interests, resigning to complete the separation from Donte, and waiting for Bai Den to have a chance to come back after taking office. This is a compromise made under balance.

It’s just that some things can only go up but not down, and you can’t go up at once.

Eric was silent for a moment, and then he suddenly said: "Can you make a deal with Donte? Let him make a price. As long as we retain the position of military advisor, as long as he allows the general to spend this period of time safely, he can get it Great benefit.”

Just a direct monetary transaction, without considering anything else, use the money to buy the seat from Donte who is about to leave office. Don't tell me, this is really a trick.

After a long silence, Jane suddenly said: "No, it is better to cut off. Resigning voluntarily is the best way."

Eric was puzzled, and he whispered: "Why? Can you explain in detail, what exactly does Donte want to do?"

Jane really didn't want to say it because the matter was too important, but now, after careful consideration, she believed that the interests of the shooting club were greater and more important than the confidentiality principle she needed to abide by, so she finally made a decision.

Jane continued to whisper: "Donte needs a lot of people to help him do this, but we haven't found out who his helpers are yet. Believe me, no matter what Donte does, he will fail and it will only become a farce in the end. So we must not be tied to him.”

Eric thought for a moment and said: "Then it's time to invest more in Biden. It's not just about money, the price to pay is higher, but compared to the risk of following Donte, I I think the loss of money is more bearable.”

There are many things that Lloyd does not do personally, and he cannot come forward personally, but as long as someone handles these things for Lloyd, Lloyd does not have to come forward personally.

Now both of them agree on the idea that Lloyd should resign, give up his immediate interests, and save his energy for the future so that he can make a comeback.

But at this time, Gao Guang felt that there might be another way. "Uh, can I be an undercover agent?"

After Gao Guang said these words, he continued to say cautiously: "Let's negotiate with Biden first, let the general stay in the White House, pretend to cooperate with Donte, but in fact he is helping Biden in private."

"No." "Absolutely not."

Jane and Tom objected at the same time, and then Jane whispered: "If you have a low status, you can do this, but the general's status is too high, no one will trust a fence-sitter, even if the immediate crisis is safely passed, but In the days to come, the general will definitely be marginalized."

In fact, Gao Guang also knows this truth, but he has hidden worries in his heart, that is, the chain reaction that Lloyd's resignation may cause.

"I'm worried that if the general resigns, it will cause the current stable state to collapse instantly. In particular, it will cause the Pentagon's competitors to misjudge and feel that we have lost power, and then start to actively attack us."

Lloyd whispered: "This is very likely to happen, but all we can do is try to be steady and wait until we can survive this period."

Although the premonition is not very good, we can only survive this period of time. After Bai takes the position, he can help Lloyd up as soon as possible to stabilize the situation again.

It can't always be smooth sailing, and you will always have to face competition.

From the perspective of risk prevention, Gao Guang said in a low voice: "Well, now we have to shrink our business in Europe and suspend our business in Africa. Especially the airlines in Kyrgyzstan will be very dangerous. I should put the airline If the company’s headquarters is moved to another place, how about moving all the planes to Baghdad first?”

Lloyd whispered: "Okay, Baghdad is fine. At least it can be safe. European Command's hands can't reach Baghdad."

After finishing speaking, Lloyd suddenly said: "Hank's position must be moved. Before I step down, Hank, where do you want to go?"

Nowadays, there is an inevitable status gap within the shooting club. Some people are promoted step by step and have a bright future, but some people stay where they are, such as Hank.

But as long as he is a formal member, he will definitely attend the meeting, and Hank has almost finished his seniority in Afghanistan, and it is time for a promotion.

Originally, Hank was going to Europe, but Eric failed to get the position of commander in Europe, so Hank's transfer was shelved. Now Eric is worried that once he steps down, he will never have a chance to come back, so While you still have some say, hurry up and resolve Hank's major issue.

In any case, the members of the shooting club are very united.

Hank hesitated for a moment. He was from the Special Operations Command, and it seemed that it was not suitable to go anywhere else after leaving Afghanistan. At this moment, Eric suddenly said: "Hank is in Afghanistan, right? Well, I personally suggest that it is better to stay in Afghanistan."

\u003e

As soon as these words came out, everyone was puzzled again. Lloyd immediately said: "Why?" Eric smiled and said: "I have some gossip. Biden plans to withdraw troops from Afghanistan." Jane said in surprise: " Oh? I have no information about this."

In terms of intelligence, of course Jane has the most abundant resources, followed by Tom, but this kind of information came from Eric's mouth, so naturally it is not that convincing.

Eric smiled again and said: "Really, I have a very reliable source of information. I originally planned to go to Afghanistan to develop a large gold mine, but a very important aide of Biden stopped me. Because after Biden took office, the first thing he did was to withdraw troops from Afghanistan, so just wait and see, they will definitely withdraw. "

This was big news. The two-term military intelligence elite had no information at all, but it was a businessman who got the information first. After everyone was silent for a while, Hank suddenly said: "This is an opportunity to make a fortune."

Yes, every time the US military disperses from an area, it is an opportunity to make a fortune, and it is an excellent opportunity to make a fortune.

When they left Iraq, they left behind almost all the heavy equipment of the Army. Tanks, armored vehicles, rifles and artillery were all given away or thrown away.

This is not the same as picking up rags, these are all good things in service.

Gao Guang's heart suddenly became excited, and Lloyd also said softly: "Well, withdrawal, if all troops are withdrawn, is indeed a good opportunity. If we can make preparations in advance, the abandoned materials will be enough." Worth a fortune.”

Gao Guang suddenly said: "Otherwise, the airline should stop going to Baghdad and go to Afghanistan. Hank, is that okay?"

Hank said without hesitation: "I will allocate an airport for you to park the plane and let the best ground crews serve you. Our planes are used to perform special missions."

Gao Guang immediately said: "Airplanes alone are not enough. Aircraft only transport some small items. What about those heavy equipment? And there are buyers. It is not convenient to find buyers temporarily. Who is the buyer of American equipment?"

After thinking for a moment, Gao Guang finally said: "I'm going to find a buyer. Well, don't worry about anything else. Let's seize this opportunity first."

Hank said without hesitation: "If we really want to withdraw our troops, I will definitely not be able to leave. So I am starting to prepare now. We will take away all the equipment stationed in Afghanistan. If the Afghans get it, But it’s such a loss.”

Lloyd said: "Yes, the withdrawal must be done in batches. It will have to last for half a year. The first half of the year is enough for us to digest it. Let's start operations now."
