Same day, White House. "How likely is this to be a hoax?" Eisenhower asked his chief adviser, Charlotte, the previous President of the United States, with a serious expression. Charlotte shook her head, looked around the entire conference room, and then replied: "Lin Youde is not the kind of person who is whimsical. His actions will have some purpose. If this is a well-planned scam, then he planned all this What is the purpose? Or to put it more bluntly, what benefits can he get from this scam? In my opinion, if this is a scam, it can only be a cover-up to cover up more important secrets. This explanation seems more reasonable. So, everyone, you'd better hope it's not a scam. " "Even if it's not a scam, we have nothing to worry about," the Defense Secretary shrugged. "Both wars have shown one thing. Well, the magic armor used by the war queens in the war is a scarcer resource than the war queens themselves. " Normally, countries do not recruit less qualified war queens into the army, but only train them regularly to ensure that they have a certain level of competence. combat capabilities. But in a state of total war, all qualified warriors will be recruited, so the magic armor becomes insufficient. It often happens that warriors die in battle or are too tired to attack, and then someone is replaced to drive the same magic armor. Things on the battlefield. The words of the Secretary of Defense made the expressions of the presidential staff participating in the meeting soften slightly, but at this time Howard Stark, who participated in the meeting as a technology and industry adviser, said: "No, no, Mr. Secretary of Defense, you are thinking in the wrong direction. Magic armor is essentially an armor designed for highly qualified warrior girls. Its fundamental goal is to allow these girls to exert 100% of their strength and make the best use of their resources. Therefore, our magic armor is complex. , expensive, with superior performance, and can also provide girls with a considerable degree of protection. This is precisely because the proportion of war queens in the population is too low, so we try every means to strengthen them. Think about it from another perspective, you will. Are the top soldiers in the army equipped with equipment worth millions of dollars? "The U.S. dollar at this time is not the same as the U.S. dollar in later generations. A million U.S. dollars is an out-and-out huge sum of money. Howard Stark glanced at the staff and ministers in front of the conference table. "Now think about it, if Zhan Ji can be seen everywhere, and she can recruit hundreds of thousands or millions at will, will we equip Zhan Ji with such expensive magic armor at this time? No, no, we will only give them These girls are equipped with magic weapons that are as powerful as the weapons used by magic armor, and they are the most economical ones. In this case, this is the most cost-effective method. The casually sacrificed cannon fodder is equipped with that kind of equipment. If Lin Youde is really able to produce war queens, it means that the magic armor used by war queens will become a thing of the past, while the mass production of small devices and weapons for war queens will become a thing of the past. "It will become the mainstream." The staff looked at each other. Stark was the main arms supplier of the US military and an expert in military weapons. His status made it impossible for the civilian staff to refute his idea. The military attach¨¦s thought about it for a moment. Just understand that Howard was right. "Thank you Mr. Stark for your insightful insights," Eisenhower said on behalf of everyone, "However, the top priority now is to determine what the Germans - no, determine what Lin Youde is doing. If he really discovered a method to artificially cultivate war girls, Then we have to find a way to steal that technology. " ** "I don't care if it's true or false," Churchill banged on the table. "We should take action. If it's false, we'll take action to prove it is. It¡¯s fake. If it¡¯s true, we will steal the information back. If we can¡¯t steal it back, we will blow up Lin Youde¡¯s experimental facilities.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it bad to carry out hostile activities in such an open manner?¡± ¡°There is nothing to be afraid of,¡± Churchill. Waving his hand, "As long as we are not discovered, there will be no problem. I mean, as long as we are not caught by people and they can have clear evidence that we did it. If you can't even do this, then spend money on intelligence." The funds of the department are wasted. " "Winston," said the elderly gentleman sitting opposite Churchill, "you are no longer the Prime Minister, and we are not having a state meeting now, but playing bridge." "I. I know, I know." Churchill let out a long sigh, "The guy from the Labor Party who is now the prime minister probably won't have the courage to take decisive action. Those guys are doing everything except inciting voters to win votes. "Winston, how can you be a qualified ruler if you can't get the support of the people?" "The problem is, the people are a bunch of fools," Churchill didn't mind the eyes of the people around him. , "They will only believe those guys who talk nice things and believe in some fancy things. Look at the new ones they choose."The appearance is as beautiful and fancy as a child's toy tin soldier, but it is useless. "The elderly gentleman shook his head, pressed the cards in his hand on the table, and stood up. "Are you leaving? Churchill looked at him, his words unexpectedly revealed a hint of reluctance, "It's only nine o'clock, we can still fight for a while." " "I'm a little tired today. The old gentleman straightened his clothes, then looked down at Churchill and said, "Winston, I think you should learn to enjoy life. You have done enough for the British Empire, and now it's time to take a rest." " "It won't be long before I can rest forever. " "Winston, don't say anything unlucky. As your old friend, I hope I can play bridge with you for a few more years. There is a unique fun in playing bridge with you. Although it is tiring, it is more interesting than playing with others. Don't let me lose this rare pleasure so soon. " Churchill looked at the elderly gentleman, his lips twitched, and finally nodded: "Don't worry, I'm not ready to go to heaven so soon. " After Churchill finished speaking, he paused and then corrected himself: "No, I should go to hell. Unless God is an Englishman. "The old gentleman smiled. He said goodbye to Churchill again, then took his hat and civilized stick from the waiter, and left the club with the graceful steps typical of old British gentlemen. Churchill looked at the cards in his hand and put them He threw them all on the table, then reached out and opened the cards covered by the old gentleman on the table. "Damn it," Churchill curled his lips and muttered, "Why is there a unique fun in playing bridge with me? You just don't like playing with me." Because I always lose to you, you damn old guy. "
