Reborn American Giants

On Friday, October 21st, President Underwood and his wife went to the Augusta National Golf Course in Georgia for the weekend. He wanted to relax and take a rest. The United States has been really troubled recently.

At 6:15 in the morning on the 19th, the Marines stationed at the U.S. Marine Corps camp near Beirut International Airport in Lebanon, responsible for maintaining the withdrawal of Israeli and PLO troops, were still sleeping.

Several soldiers who got up early to change duty found a Mercedes-Benz truck parked outside the barbed wire fence of the camp. Suddenly, in the eyes of people's surprised eyes, the truck suddenly started, crashed through the barbed wire fence, then passed through the playground in the center of the camp and crashed into the camp.

In the hall of the main building, there was a loud "boom", accompanied by a shaking of the ground. People watched in stunned silence as the U.S. Marine Corps camp was razed to the ground in a burst of rising smoke.

flat ground.

This Mercedes-Benz truck was loaded with 2,500 pounds of TNT explosives, about more than 1,100 kilograms. 241 US soldiers were killed. At the same time, a French military camp not far from the US military camp was also attacked by a car bomb, killing 108 French soldiers.

die.

Underwood is presiding over a cabinet meeting to discuss further government policies to support small businesses. This is a strategy he has adhered to since taking office. As a result, the United States has dramatically stopped its economic decline. In the face of widespread economic recession among European allies,

, showing a wave of economic upsurge that bucked the trend.

National Security Assistant Bud McFarland pushed open the door to the conference room. In the confused eyes of the cabinet ministers, he smiled and nodded his apology. At the same time, he leaned into Underwood's ear and whispered the news to him.

.

"Mr. President, our country's Marine Corps base in Lebanon suffered a bomb attack and suffered heavy losses."

His words shocked Underwood, the leader of the free world. The pen he held in his right hand fell straight onto the conference table, then rolled along the smooth oak tabletop and fell to the ground. But Underwood

Not caring about this anymore, he let out an exclamation.

“Oh God.”…

"Mr. President...Mr. President," Bud whispered.

"Gentlemen, I think the meeting has to be ended temporarily," Underwood came to his senses, apologized to the cabinet members present, then stood up and walked out of the meeting room under the guidance of Bud.

Along the way, Underwood kept giving instructions, "Bud immediately convened a meeting of the National Security Council and summoned Secretary of Defense Casper and CIA Director William to the White House Situation Room."

"Yes, Mr. President," Bud lowered his head and quickly wrote down all Underwood's instructions in his notebook with a pen.

"It's been a really bad day..."

Faced with the attack, the U.S. government responded quickly. A reinforcement fleet composed of the USS Independence aircraft carrier immediately carried the Marines who had originally planned to go to Lebanon for defense and rushed to the Mediterranean. At the same time, the USS Kennedy and other two aircraft carriers were cruising in the Mediterranean.

The group began to move towards Lebanon, launched combat readiness patrols, and actively attacked the Lebanese Hezbollah armed forces.

At the same time, it launched publicity campaigns to inspire the patriotic enthusiasm of people across the United States. At this moment, the Republican government led by Underwood did not forget to seize the opportunity to increase its public support rate.

Everything that can be done has been done. Underwood gave a televised speech, preaching to the public that as long as the instigator behind the scenes is found, the US government will definitely launch retaliatory actions. Now that everything that needs to be done has been done, the only thing left is to wait for the reinforcements of the fleet.

Further news upon arrival.

Underwood was accompanied by Secretary of State John Kerry, Presidential Chief of Staff Becker, former Senator Nicholas and his wife. Underwood hoped that he could have a day or two to rest.

At 11 o'clock in the evening on the 21st, Underwood was resting in the bedroom. A sudden ringing of the phone woke him up. He fumbled to open the reading lamp, put on the glasses placed on the bedside table, picked up the phone, and heard from the receiver:

He heard the voice of his chief of staff, Becker, "Mr. President, I'm sorry to disturb you so late, but as you said, Grenada will notify you immediately as soon as there is news."

"Becker, what's going on in Grenada?" Suddenly woke up from his sleep, Underwood's voice was a little dry. He made a fist with his left hand and put it to his mouth, coughed twice, cleared his throat, and then

asked.

"I just received news from the CIA that the Austin government has indeed taken action against Bishop. At about 6 p.m., they attacked Bishop and others at Fort Rupert in St. George, including former Foreign Minister Whiteman, former Labor Minister Aaron,

Executions were carried out by former cabinet members including former Housing Minister Bain, former Education Minister Clift and NGT President West."

This was another "astonishing" news, but it was what the U.S. government had expected. Underwood cheered up and said to Becker on the phone: "Get Air Force One ready for me right away. I'm going to fly back right away."

hsd.”

"Yes, Mr. President, I will arrange it immediately."

"Also, you first convene the members of the National Security Council, as well as the Secretary of Defense, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, William of CIA, and others." Underwood thought about who else needs to be convened to participate in this meeting. "

Also, notify McCarter, who is in the Latin American Coordination Office of the five Caribbean countries, and ask him to wait for notification from the White House.”…

"Frank, what happened?" the first lady was awakened by Underwood's call. She stood up and leaned on the bedside, waiting for Underwood to hang up the phone and asked softly.

"Claire, I'm sorry for waking you up. Please take a rest. I have urgent matters and I have to rush back to the hsd first," he lowered his head and kissed the first lady's forehead gently.

"Go ahead, pay more attention to your health and rest a little longer on the plane,"

At Mrs. Underwood's "exhortation", Air Force One flashed its signal lights and, escorted by two Air Force F-15 fighter jets, took off from the dark night.

At two o'clock in the morning, the White House Situation Room was brightly lit. Members of the National Security Council were summoned urgently, plus Secretary of State Kerry, Secretary of Defense Casper, CIA Director William, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Army General John William Vesey.

The others sat at the conference table to discuss the sudden change in the situation in Grenada and the contingency measures that the U.S. government should take.

"Now that the incident has just happened, we can wait for the incident to unfold and at the same time obtain further information about Grenada." CIA Director William's suggestion is a mature opinion. His professional characteristics determine his role in the incident that broke out in Grenada.

Taking a more cautious attitude, the US government will not take action easily.

But Underwood didn't want to wait at all. He did not speak. Instead, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Vesey asked Secretary of State Kerry: "What is the reaction of our European allies?"

"The State Department contacted our European allies as soon as the incident occurred, and they all generally expressed shock and concern at the deaths of Bishop and others."

Underwood put down the spinning pencil in his hand and asked Defense Secretary Casper: "How much power do we have in the Caribbean."

Looking through the notepad he had prepared in advance, Casper reported to the president calmly: "As for the Navy, we can use the Second Fleet. At the same time, the USS Independence aircraft carrier group supporting Lebanon is in the waters not far from Guangzhou Island. We can also immediately

Order them to temporarily suspend their mission to support Lebanon and go to the waters of Grenada to maneuver and be on standby."

"At the same time, there is also a battalion of Marine Corps in the fleet, about 1,900 people, and there is also the 82nd Airborne Division in China that can be deployed quickly and maneuverably. These forces are sufficient to complete any military operation."

"Very good. Immediately order the Independence aircraft carrier to stop advancing and go to Grenada to stand by. At the same time, what William said is very reasonable. Let the Second Fleet immediately send a task force to Grenada to further investigate the situation and prepare to evacuate to Grenada at any time.

Prepare the Americans, and ask McCarter to contact the six Caribbean countries and ask them to issue invitations. We need a legitimate name to intervene in this incident." Underwood made the decision, and the war was about to break out.

"Kerry, please make a statement immediately to show that our US government is concerned about this matter," Underwood's last words ended the meeting, and everyone filed out and rushed towards their mission goals.
