The first thousand two hundred and eighty-four chapters are of one mind
The frequent knocks of the mallets could not even calm down the quiet, and several members of parliament had already roared loudly and had to start a hearing on the war immediately.
To put it nicely, Qi Tianlin asked him to stand still and endure the impact of the ocean. He was a wooden man standing there, accepting the abuse of various American dialect accents.
But he enjoyed it as if he was happy!
Although his face was expressionless, it was actually like listening to the sound of a fairy. Isn’t it his dream goal to hear the Americans’ roar?
But his eyes and expressions must be dull enough to cover up his heart.
However, when these noises were finally a little quiet because the men were tired, he added: "Around five hours before I took off and returned to Washington, a group of fighters had an air battle with the F35 joint attack aircraft group of the 33rd Wing of the US Air Force. The message I heard was that more than 30 American fighters were lost, and eight of them were shot down."
Sprinkle salt in the oil pan to describe this scene. The re-angry congressmen are about to overturn the table!
This is the well-suited red shirt wooden conference table and chair made 150 years ago!
Even the Pentagon generals who had sat in independent blocks jumped up, only Hegel had a gloomy face and looked at Qi Tianlin motionlessly, the Chinese who said something and fell into a dullness.
Of course, from the perspective of Qi Tianlin Station, he could hear the clearest and chaotic venue, but he could basically identify the sounds from all directions one by one. This is because of his extraordinary hearing, and more importantly, the sound field layout is reasonable. The military intelligence department is cursed the most, thinking that they were concealed or failed to investigate. Didn’t Herari just said that the damage and data statistics on the front line are still in progress?
Regardless of whether what the President says is true or false, the military intelligence department should be reprimanded. The call for the strong demand for real data and truth is becoming more and more blunt, which can be regarded as an indirect questioning the president.
Of course, Bren could hear it, but his expression seemed more playful, and he just focused his eyes on Qi Tianlin's face until Hegel finally stood up at the request of the Speaker.
The current US Secretary of Defense can still calm the noise among the members of the parliament. After all, he represents the army, and many people want to know what he will say. So as he walked towards the lecture, Qi Tianlin took a step back and was about to give up the podium, but when Hegel pointed at him, he stood there knowingly.
Everyone saw their actions, so when Hegel stood behind the podium, the audience finally calmed down. Hegel's voice was a little desolate, but very calm: "Yes... we encountered a failure!" The venue was a little turbulent, but he could immediately calm down and listen to his continued words: "The Chinese people shamelessly used our intervention in the democratic process of Tanzaniani and attacked us, causing the most huge war damage ever! Because in the chaos in Africa, I have not received the most accurate and detailed report so far, which is also due to the decades of operation of China in Africa. This is the first heavy blow we have suffered in the attack on the African fortress of China!" The voice increased slightly.
Just when both congressmen and Qi Tianlin thought Hegel would use the common speech tone of politicians to incite emotions and share the same hatred of the enemy, Hegel's tone suddenly changed: "But I also ask everyone to clearly see what the difference is between this incident and the Pearl Harbor incident. This is not an attack on the United States, but a sneak attack by the Chinese in the fight for the democratic process and an energy power that can become an ally of the United States. Such an incident will not arouse the people's fighting spirit against the Chinese, they will only fight against the war! They will not consider the energy demand and economic demands of the United States. They will only want to get the most comfortable life without any risky war! Pearl Harbor once made the American people feel the risk of the country being attacked, but the Chinese people cunningly avoided this situation. We cannot arouse the people's emotions. In such an era of general anti-war..."
After pausing, almost everyone's eyes revealed surprise at a defense minister who said something outside of war, and then said: "I have a bad news. No matter how powerful the military power we have, we now have 15,000 infantrymen who were left in Kenyani. Three hours ago, Tanzaniani announced the declaration of war on Kenyani because Kenyani helped us attack it. From a military perspective, China consolidated the two strongholds of Sudan and Tanzaniani every hour and mastered a considerable degree of air supremacy, which led to us not even being able to withdraw people to Kenyani. Until this moment, I suddenly realized that every year there would be endless military reduction plans in parliament, leaving us with only short-lived front-line combat troops stationed in military bases around the world. If we do not use a large number of reserve troops, we cannot even guarantee that the United States has sufficient defense."
The politicians immediately began to curse, as if Hegel was challenging their authority to control the country's economic power and cut various expenses. The most common saying was: "How many hundreds of billions of dollars in military spending each year will result in this result?"
Yes, China only has one-quarter of the US military spending every year. How can we support the hundreds of fighter jets that suddenly explode now?
Why did he spend money but fell behind?
But Hegel suddenly took a step back: "Please explain this question?"
Qi Tianlin was completely stunned for a moment, didn’t he have this line?
But he said everything he said, and he opened his mouth and said: "The Ministry of Defense is striving for transformation, military reform is underway, and some fundamental ideas seem to need to be clarified."
This was a bit sensible. The members of the parliamentarians were vague experts and were very dissatisfied. Hegel also stood beside him and supported him: "What about a specific example?"
Qi Tianlin made a cruel decision: "The US military advocates the leading path of cutting-edge technology, but the rockets from the 1960s and 1970s were slightly modified. This time, hundreds or thousands of aircraft carrier battle groups could also blow up the latest technology battle group. Quantity changes resulted in qualitative changes. A most advanced anti-missile missile system is close to 1.2 million US dollars, and it can only intercept a rocket of 12,000 US dollars. This is how military spending is spent."
Now the generals finally couldn't help but join in the curse! The army didn't say anything, but the navy and air force relied on high-tech power to be unique around the world. He was simply making a fuss. He probably used guerrilla warfare to cover up the arguments of regular warfare in the past. Paul is now becoming more and more presumptuous!
Where do the members of parliament know about military affairs? They only read the report of the Ministry of Defense research, saying that the better the technology can control the world. The reality... seems a bit biased, just look at the defense minister who also transferred from parliamentarians. They seem to understand why the Minister of Defense is a little difficult to move forward.
Qi Tianlin is not afraid of scolding: "The US military has always advocated the theory of technology-oriented and accurate victory. The FCS (future combat system) of the navy and air force and even the army were dismounted are all manifestations of this idea. It has enriched the weapon R&D company and procurement system. This kind of deep-rooted military idea is originally wrong!"
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
Now a general wants to jump up and try to hit people. Have you ever seen this kind of demeanor in the small countries of Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand in the US parliament? The members of the parliament were very dissatisfied, and some people who were close to each other asked: "What kind of thought should be? Do you have a mature ideological system?"
Qi Tianlin is not so awesome: "The current US military believes that the victory of all wars is based on precision and technical means. A complete and effective military system is the ultimate goal. Every soldier should be as precise as the parts in the clock. However, American scholars in the last century proposed the theory of chaos. War is a complex system that is basically in a chaotic state. Nothing is done step by step, and there is never a perfect weapon. But if you have time, you can take a look at the "Guidelines for the Modernization and Transformation Plan for the US Military" that prompted you to repeatedly reduce military spending, "2020 US Military Joint Concept", and "Cyber-Central War" and these programmatic documents of the US military over the past decade, and you can find the answers based on the facts in front of you."
It has to be said that Qi Tianlin's study at West Point and Princeton was still effective. The arguments of the Western Soldier St. Clausewitz have long been spread throughout the world. Qi Tianlin has also studied his works in the West Point Military Academy system, but what I really understand is the chaos theory, which is two hundred years later than the Soldier. There is no conflict between the two, and there is also some vague connection.
The entire conference scene was a little quiet. It was not that he was impressed by Qi Tianlin's arguments. Qi Tianlin could even see the confusion in the eyes of most congressmen. Well, it was just that unawareness and harshness. What these politicians are best at picking and scheming. As for their professionalism, they may really have no expertise.
But a string of applause suddenly sounded, like a signal, and more applause followed, not the warm feeling of the whole audience, but the courteousness, and soon became completely quiet, because the first one to applaud was Halari...
She seemed to wake up from the state of resting with her eyes closed, and walked onto the stage a few steps. All the applause seemed to be welcoming her. The supporting roles Qi Tianlin and Hegel came down tactfully, but Fox and Jacqueline, who were on both sides of Qi Tianlin, did not stand up again, but looked at him. Qi Tianlin could see that there was half of Hunter by the door!
Herari had already put his hands on both sides of the podium: "Dear gentlemen, I am not here to argue with you today, nor to find problems, find loopholes or conduct polls. These will definitely be solved one by one in the future. Today I am here to get a result of working together!" The tone of voice began to rise.
"Is there still a possibility of a peaceful resolution of this war now?"
"The war they provoked should be ended by our last punch!"
"I admit that we have suffered great sacrifices, but I will write to the sacrificed family in person, telling them that I am also a mother! I empathize with their pain and sorrow! These children who sacrificed their lives for the country are the sons of the country and my son!"
"But this is a war! A war that is not allowed to compromise! We will fight back without any mercy as always!"
"Rely on the unity of our consistent beliefs! Strength and courage!"
"For justice will eventually defeat evil!"
"We have unified our thinking today! We have decided to fight together!"
“Fight as an American’s pride in liberty, democracy and pride!”
A few minutes ago, Qi Tianlin felt that his speech skills seemed to be pretty good. Now, compared with Helaria, he is simply a child who just learned to speak!
Each sentence, the increasingly high momentum and tone, prompted the MPs to get up. By the last one or two sentences, almost everyone stood up, following the old woman who was increasingly arrogant, finally applauded warmly!
Qi Tianlin was also applauding, but he wanted to see if Helari's speech also stated: "Please stop here and wait for the applause to begin!"
Politics is nothing more than bewitching people’s hearts, whether they are really willing or not!
On the surface, it seems that everyone is united now!
(Oh, today seems to be the 30th New Year's Eve. I wish you all a happy Chinese New Year!)
