In the command center of the island nation's underground base, Du Le gradually felt comforted and happy as he looked at the battle situation information sent back from the front line.
Although this battle did not ultimately achieve the goal of eradicating the roots and destroying all the alien fleets, we saw with our own eyes that the alien battleships were forced to retreat back to the North American continent due to the pursuit pressure of the Earth Defense Force's space fighter force. The look of running away made Du Le very proud.
The hard work you have put in in recent years has finally paid off. Although the aliens have not been completely driven out of the earth, this successful battle has finally given hope to countless humans on earth.
When the Earth Defense Force declares victory to the world during the "battle".
When governments of various countries declare victory to the whole country through radio stations.
Almost all the people who paid attention to the news, especially those in areas that had been attacked by laser cannons from alien warships, were so excited that tears filled their eyes and they cheered.
When the alien fleet invaded the Earth, most of the people who had not yet understood the powerful military power of aliens were full of hope that by gathering the military power of all countries on the earth, they would be able to drive out all these outsiders with evil intentions. Earth.
However, the news that came out one after another from various battlefields shattered the people's confidence in the earth's military strength. One after another, cities were attacked and even destroyed by alien space warships. Such bad news caused all the people to fall into a powerful panic. And then, almost no good news came back, and many people couldn't help but feel desperate. After all, so far, the scientific research power of the earth is still unable to satisfy the wishes of all people who want to escape the earth and escape the battlefield.
Until today, everyone heard it for the first time. After the large-scale battle with the alien fleet, the Earth's army was not only able to preserve its strength, but more importantly, it was able to force the alien battleship to retreat steadily and eventually evacuate from the battlefield.
Countries around the world are celebrating this joyful news.
This formal battle with the alien battleship has finally come to an end. Pity Country R, ??which has become a battlefield. Due to the outbreak of the war, it was greatly damaged. Not only the buildings were missing, but even the streets and floors were completely damaged.
The impact of the war does not only exist on the territory of country R. Even the ruling class of country R experienced a major earthquake. Because many of the king of country R and the ministers of the former cabinet government of country R have boarded space battleships to escape country R and join the aliens.
Although Du Le arranged for space fighter units to intercept and successfully disrupted the operation of alien warships to transport the population of Country R, ??in the end only about 10,000 people from Country R boarded three space warships and joined the Kingdom of Attila. ,but. The entire original government system of country R has completely collapsed.
But a country cannot live without a king for a day. After the battle, in order to stabilize the state affairs and management system, Country R quickly declared the original government invalid and quickly reorganized it, making it clear that Country R would no longer have a king. Changed to Prime Minister system.
Because the alien warship¡¯s plan to transport the population failed, it could only return to the Attila family¡¯s position on the North American continent in frustration.
But what surprised Du Le was that after the Attila fleet left country R and returned to the Mexican base in North America, it never left the North American continent again. They seem to be concentrating on running their business on the North American continent.
Du Le is not happy to see this situation.
??If the Attila family¡¯s warships don¡¯t dispatch. If the combat power is not dispersed, how can Du Le have a chance to defeat them one by one? After all, it comes down to it. The island country's Earth Defense Force does not yet have the strength to fight an entire alien fleet. Country R's victory was not enough to make Du Le's head spin. Therefore, Du Le has been waiting for the opportunity for the alien warships to disperse and dispatch troops. However, if the Attila family understands Du Le's tactics and continues to stand still like this, Du Le will indeed be helpless.
"Sir, the representative of country M would like to ask to see you." Shortly after Du Le came out of the command center, Pan Huan, the head of the island country's intelligence bureau, brought such news to Du Le.
??For a long time, the intelligence bureau of the island country and the intelligence bureau of country M have maintained contact and exchanged information. Especially after the earth defense force of the island country provided military assistance to country M, the relationship between the two parties became even closer.
This time, the government of country M also chose to notify the island country¡¯s intelligence agency during its visit.
"Did the people from M country mention what the reason was?" Du Le asked. If the reason why the M government requested the meeting this time did not interest him, Du Le would not really want to spend time meeting them.
To be honest, the speed of Country M's defeat was far beyond Du Le's expectation.
As one of the top military powers on earth, Du Le also believed that with their strong military reserves, even if they could not repel aliens, they should at least be able to resist alien attacks in a short time. can preserve the integrity of the country.
"Unexpectedly, Country M's defensive capabilities turned out to be so weak when faced with attacks from alien warships.
Today, Country M is like a tiger that has been stripped of all its sharp teeth. No matter how ferocious its nature is, it has lost the strength and qualifications to be on an equal footing with the Earth Defense Force. In addition, the government of country M has not been on good terms with the island countries in the past. With everything they have done, it is normal for Du Le to dislike the government of country M.
"They want to have detailed discussions with you on matters related to the nuclear bomb transaction, and specifically mentioned that they are willing to make concessions." Pan Huan stated the purpose of the M government.
These words made Du Le's frown relax a little. Undoubtedly, this is indeed the topic that attracts Du Le most at the moment.
I think that when Du Le conducted arms transactions with various countries before, his top priority was the countries that were able and willing to use nuclear bombs as a condition for the transaction. At that time, Du Le fully believed that countries with nuclear bomb R&D and production capabilities, such as China and M, would choose nuclear bombs in exchange for military weapons instead of exchanging mineral resources. Unexpectedly, they were all rejected one after another. Therefore, this was indeed the problem that worried Du Le.
Since Country M is willing to hold talks with him on this topic, Du Le is willing to sit down and talk with them again.
In fact, the situation is now very clear, and it is not difficult for Du Le to imagine that the government of country M made a request for a nuclear bomb deal at this time. What's the intention behind it?
Nowadays, they have lost most of their territory due to strong attacks by alien warships. Even though government personnel were able to temporarily preserve the basic integrity of their structure because they moved to safe places in time, they saw aliens on their territory. Take root. Who knows whether it will continue to sprout, bloom and bear fruit? By then, not to mention that the country will be permanently destroyed, even they, the proud leaders of Country M, will become prisoners and slaves of aliens.
so. The government of country M must not be able to see its country continue to march toward destruction.
However, if they want to regain the dominance of the country from the aliens, it is obvious that they will be defeated simply by relying on the remaining soldiers in their hands. Therefore, no matter how unhappy they were originally. They humbly cooperate with the Earth Defense Force, but at the moment, only the Earth Defense Force can provide them with practical and effective help and give them a chance to turn around.
After continuous combat proofs, even if the country M government has always been arrogant, it has to admit that the Earth Alliance formed by Country M. When the aliens actually attacked, they were in vain. Their combat effectiveness is indeed inferior to that of the Earth Defense Force, their competitor. The latter was not only able to survive the alien attack, but now it was actually able to push back the alien battleship.
In contrast, the government of country M. There is no reason not to be impressed by the Earth Defense Force and the island country where it is located.
In fact, the energy stone is in the hands of the government of Country M. The number is not large, and as the senior officials who rule M country, they know this well. Therefore, at the moment, the only thing that can impress the island country and have the conditions for negotiation in front of the Earth Defense Force is the nuclear bomb developed by country M.
"Okay, take them to the conference room No. 2 of the underground base. I will be there soon." Sure enough, Du Le readily agreed to the meeting request and simply gave Pan Huan an order.
After Pan Huan accepted the order, he immediately left and started arranging the meeting arrangements for the leaders of both sides.
The senior government officials from country M are indeed very high-ranking. They are the secretary of state of country M and the deputy minister of defense of country M. This shows how sincere Country M is for this meeting.
Du Le met them at the underground base next.
"General Du, I have long admired you!" The Secretary of State of Country M, who was arranged to wait in the underground base in advance, saw Du Le entering the conference room. He immediately extended his hand, shook hands with Du Le as a sign of goodwill, and greeted Du Le politely. road.
Seeing this, Du Le shook hands with the Secretary of State of Country M in a general way, and said with a smile: "Welcome to the island country, the people of the island country welcome you. Please take a seat!"
Hearing this, the Secretary of State of Country M was not polite and took his people to sit down.
The only people who attended this meeting with Du Le were Pan Huan and Chen Chen.
One of them is the liaison of the Intelligence Bureau, and the other is the representative of the arms company. Du Le thought that when the country is facing a formidable enemy, the leadership of country M will definitely need to purchase more weapons before they are willing to fight with the island country. nuclear bomb deal talks, so especially bring?Chen is to facilitate the execution of the next transaction.
However, as soon as the Secretary of State of Country M opened his mouth, Du Le knew that his guess was different from the other party's attitude.
"We ask the Earth Defense Force to help us drive away the invaders!" The Secretary of State of Country M seems to be a straightforward person, or maybe because Country M is indeed at a critical moment of life and death, he speaks straight to the point without any modification. clearly state the real requirements.
This bluntness really made Du Le stunned on the spot after hearing the words. At the same time, he thought to himself, this M countryman is really straightforward. But logically speaking, as a political leader of a country, it is impossible to speak without thinking, and it is always so simple and direct. It seems that it should be the case of a dog that is forced to jump over the wall.
"Our strength is not strong enough." Du Le did not want to directly agree to this troublesome matter, so he replied tactfully.
Du Le doesn¡¯t want to become a gun in the hands of others so easily and be controlled by others, unless the conditions proposed by the M government are enough to attract him.
Du Le was right. Among those who can be government officials, who is not a human being? He must not be a simple-minded person with a straightforward personality and say whatever comes to mind. The same is true for the Secretary of State of Country M.
"Aliens are our common enemies. Defeating them is an ideal way out for the future of mankind on Earth and for both you and me." Sure enough, when the Secretary of State of Country M saw that Du Le was about to refuse their request, he immediately Adopted a public relations posture: "Of course, if we can get help from the Earth Defense Force, in order to show our sincerity, we are willing to provide your country with a large number of nuclear bombs in exchange."
"Do you want more laser weapons?" Du Le seemed to want to whet the other party's appetite. Instead of responding directly, he asked another question in a roundabout way.
"We hope that the Earth Defense Force can directly dispatch a space fighter force to North America to form a joint force with the Air Force of Country M to compete with alien warships." The Secretary of State of Country M shook his head slightly. Then he said.
Du Le smiled and shook his head. He already roughly knew what the Secretary of State of Country M meant.
Obviously, the M government is more worried that alien warships continue to attack them, so. They no longer want to rely on the weapons of the island country or their own troops to repel the enemy. Instead, they need more direct military assistance from the Earth Defense Force, sending troops to Country M to help them fight off the aliens.
This request, in fact, is more in favor of the interests of country M. For Du Le, there is no direct benefit.
so. After thinking for a moment, Du Le said with a smile: "Country M is not the only country on earth that has nuclear bombs."
The Secretary of State of Country M naturally understood Du Le's answer. Although it was not considered a rejection, it actually indirectly showed that the conditions offered by Country M were not good enough. The Secretary of State of Country M is silent. Now Country M has lost many things. It is no longer a powerful country and has fewer and fewer exchangeable conditions.
A moment later. The Secretary of State of Country M made up his mind and said: "Our country is willing to give up the energy ore mines of the United States."
Du Le smiled when he heard this, asking Country M to hand over the energy ore was indeed a very painful thing for them. However, this is still a manifestation of the M government considering the problem from its own perspective, but they ignored that Du Le was not interested in this condition.
With Uda¡¯s strength in Africa, they can seize Li¡¯s energy ores at any time. Perhaps, the government of Country M is aware of this and wants to give up the energy stone mines.
After listening to the words of the Secretary of State of Country M, Du Le began to think about some of the information Pan Huan gave him. Obviously, Country M is anxious. However, Country M has lost most of its territory, and many supplies have not been transferred out. Obviously, this is the best condition that country M can provide at this stage.
Neither party is talking about traditional hard currencies like gold. When the status reaches a certain level, wealth cannot be measured by general equivalents. As for Country M, they must have conducted an in-depth investigation into Du Le and knew that he was interested in energy stones, so they proposed such a condition.
In this case, it is difficult for Du Le to refuse the M government.
Although the conditions proposed by the M government are not enough to attract Du Le, Du Le does not need to gain or lose the M government in a short period of time.
After all, the Secretary of State of Country M was right when he said that the common desire of both parties is indeed to eliminate aliens or drive away aliens, which is in the interests of both parties.
Although aliens have already established a foothold on the North American continent, they have also established a country. However, Country M has been operating in the Americas for hundreds of years, so how can it be that it has done nothing?
In the alien-occupied area, there must be M troops resisting or lurking.
In North and South America, Country M still has a certain influence, and various American countries cannot ignore Country M yet.
With the help of the government of country M,The Future Earth Defense Force will also be able to gain some convenience when attacking the alien fleet.
For example, Du Le wants to secretly build a space fighter base in South America.
Even if the alien fleet is not dispatched, Du Le will have to find a way to get closer to their base.
Otherwise, if troops are sent from the base of the island country or the space fighter base of country T in the future, the distance will be too long and it will be easy to be discovered by the alien fleet. Once the alien warships are prepared in advance, it is not too difficult to deal with the Earth Defense Force's space fighters.
"Three days later, the Earth Defense Force can send 3,000 space fighters to Alaska. The M government needs to arrange a large air base for the Earth Defense Force's space fighter force to station and help defend against alien warships," Du Le said.
The Secretary of State of Country M suddenly beamed with joy and replied: "Our government will definitely provide a comfortable air base for the use of the Allied Space Fighter Force."
Seeing the happy look of the Secretary of State of Country M, Du Le smiled and continued: "Although the government of Country M has lost most of its territory in North America, it is undeniable that Country M still has huge influence in the entire Americas." Du Le He praised Country M a little, paused, and continued: "I hope you can find a way to provide the Earth Defense Force with a secret air force base in Colombia, South America."
The Secretary of State of Country M thought for a moment and immediately replied: "No problem."
The Secretary of State of Country M has no reason not to agree to this request of the Earth Defense Force.
¡°Obviously, Du Le has a plan to deploy military forces in South America, with the goal of dealing with aliens.
At this time, no one in the top government of Country M wants to drive away the alien fleet from the territory of Country M.
¡°Moreover, the benefits to Country M of Country M¡¯s promise to the Earth Defense Force are obvious. At least, when this base is built, it can disperse some of the alien fleet's forces.
As for whether the Earth Defense Force has extended its influence into Country M's back garden - South America. Today, the Secretary of State of Country M doesn¡¯t care at all.
The government of Country M has lost most of its territory, and Country M¡¯s influence in South America will inevitably be greatly reduced.
