Fortunately, except for Fu Youquan, no other person made such a terrifying association.

At least no one else said it.

This made Chang Haonan somewhat relieved.

By the way, I also understood why the other party specifically asked me to participate in the meeting.

It turns out that it was just to ask such a somewhat irrelevant question.

However, it is understandable.

This matter is probably something that people around the world have never dared to think about in the past.

And, more importantly.

Chang Haonan knew that the matter was over here.

But others don't know.

Judging from the current point of time, this is a continuous, wave after wave of attacks.

What if there is a fourth or fifth time?

It is different from the simple emotional venting of melon-eating people.

People who can sit in this conference room need to think about issues from all aspects.

When the situation is still unclear, let alone coping, no one even knows whether they should expect or worry...

The next few hours, until midnight, were calm.

After the attack, considering that someone had tried to hit the CIA Langley headquarters with a plane in 1993, the first response of the US intelligence agencies was to evacuate their staff.

Therefore, for a long period of time, the U.S. intelligence system was almost paralyzed.

As time passed, the situation finally began to improve, and more and more information about the attack was confirmed and released.

Then, the information will be transmitted back to the country one after another by the overseas agencies.

Chang Haonan, who was in the capital, finally got what he wanted and saw a lot of things he had never seen in his previous life.

Someone even got a TV and directly received the TV signal from the other side of the Pacific.

What is playing on the screen is Mr. Bush's speech.

At this point in time, even he could only get some fragmented information, so there was not much nutritious content in his speech.

Not to mention that the other party's stumbling words were obviously more irritating than anyone on the Chinese side.

Therefore, everyone's attention quickly shifted to other places.

Soon someone spoke first:

"Look at the background...this doesn't seem to be a white house?"

"That's right."

Luo Yudong, still standing behind the small podium, replied:

"Due to air traffic control and the extreme chaos, Air Force One was prohibited from returning to Washington."

"So, he should be at Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana."

Many people were surprised when they heard this location -

It is one of the most important components of the United States' strategic nuclear forces.

Is choosing that location for the first (actually the second, but no one knew it yet) speech after the attack the equivalent of a hint?

It was also at this time that the statement "We will respond to this" came out on TV.

Although not everyone here understands English, the translation faithfully conveyed the meaning to everyone.

This meeting is essentially a discussion.

Faced with this kind of scene that had never happened before, even Mr. Zhang, who was literally experienced in many battles, was a little unsure of how to steer the discussion.

Facts have proved that in this kind of private setting and lack of guidance, whether it is the big leaders or the masses, they are essentially a group of ordinary people.

So the conversation quickly started to fly.

From guessing the other party's next reaction to studying what kind of statement we should make.

For a long time, Chang Haonan did not participate.

The main reason is that among the people at this table, he is indeed a low-key person, and it is difficult for him to take the initiative to express his position without being invited to speak.

However, he was happy to have some leisure time. He just took out a pen and paper from his briefcase and occasionally recorded some news reported back.

"Ahem—"

Finally, Mr. Zhang, who was sitting in the front seat, turned on the microphone in front of him and coughed twice.

This is obviously a signal that leaders are ready to take a stand.

Therefore, the originally noisy venue quickly became quiet.

"Comrades, let me first emphasize one point."

Mr. Zhang's voice seems to have become older than two years ago, but it is still firm and powerful:

"It is not the scope of our military personnel's responsibilities to make public statements about this emergency and handle it at the external level."

"So, the topic we discuss this time should still be limited to the military level."

Now, the tone has been set.

The discussion at the military level seems to be quite broad.

But to sum it up, it's actually just one question—

Did the "response" that Mr. Bush said on TV a few hours ago include means of war?

Opinions quickly divided into two completely opposite groups.

Some people feel that the other party may just pay lip service and may not actually use force on a large scale. Not that these people would think America loves peace.

It's mainly a matter of concept.

In 2001, there was no concept of the so-called war on terror.

Therefore, although everyone agrees, this incident must be quite irritating to Americans.

But in the minds of many people. To talk about starting a war...

A clear goal seems to be needed.

But others are **** for tat, saying that the impact of this wave is comparable to the attack on Pearl Harbor. In this case, the target is no longer important.

Even if you are searching for enemies in the void, you still have to find someone unlucky to take the blame.

Otherwise, where will the American people vent their anger?

During the back-and-forth argument, sitting next to Chang Haonan, Qiao Chenqing, who was in charge of the Air Force, moved closer to Chang Haonan and asked in a low voice:

"Comrade Haonan, you just... seem to have never spoken, right?"

The current commander of the Air Force on paper is still Liu Yaoshun, who has met Chang Haonan several times before, but his physical condition no longer allows for high-intensity work.

Therefore, Qiao Chenqing is mainly responsible for daily affairs.

Faced with this problem, Chang Haonan said in his heart that I actually said it before you came to the venue, but the content was enough to scare someone to death...

Of course, I just said this in my heart.

On the surface, he still nodded and expressed his stance immediately:

"There are not many opportunities to listen to the speeches of the chiefs. I still need to learn more."

In fact, Chang Haonan was ready to say something on the way over.

But I really didn't expect that the person in charge of the Second General Staff Office would stand directly on the stage.

This situation is a bit complicated.

You know, the Second Division itself is responsible for intelligence collection.

Chang Haonan's speech will inevitably involve a considerable amount of information from the West Asia region.

Some of them were brought back by Old Wu, and some of them were things he already knew about, but he still had to put them on Old Wu's head.

No matter what, talking about foreign intelligence in front of the head of an intelligence agency is always a troublesome thing—

If the other party had already reported the same content, it would be Chang Haonan's own embarrassment.

And if not, it is tantamount to pointing at the nose and saying that others are not doing their job properly.

The future working relationship will not be good.

That's why Chang Haonan never found a chance to speak.

However, at this moment, Mr. Zhang looked at the clock that was already pointing to midnight and announced that the meeting would be temporarily adjourned.

Then, while most people got up and went to rest, he waved to Chang Haonan.

Soon, Fu Youquan, Chang Haonan, and Qiao Chenqing sat next to each other.

"Comrade Youquan."

Mr. Zhang fiddled with the tea leaves floating on the water with the cup lid and said in a half-joking tone:

"At the meeting last night, you specifically applied and said you wanted to call Comrade Chang Haonan to attend the meeting, but Xiao Chang came over and remained silent. Isn't this... inappropriate?"

It was naturally impossible for Fu Youquan to admit that he was out of his mind at the time and suspected that the matter was related to Chang Haonan, so he called him over.

But I couldn't think of any other explanation for a while.

As a result, the atmosphere fell into a slightly stiff stalemate.

In this situation, Chang Haonan naturally needs to take the initiative to rescue the leader:

"Chief, what Mr. Fu wants is mainly for me to learn and gain experience. Even if I speak, it is just to make suggestions, so I was mainly listening just now."

After finishing speaking, he also opened the notebook next to him.

As expected, it was filled with several pages of content.

However, Mr. Zhang just chuckled after hearing this explanation:

"Xiao Chang, if I hadn't met you the year before last, this explanation would barely make sense."

As he put the tea cup back on the table, he changed the subject:

"In the situation just now, it may indeed be inconvenient for you to express your position rashly."

"But there's no need to be so modest now. Tell me what you think."

This is what Chang Haonan has been waiting for—

As the only person present who did not hold a military rank, some words were actually more appropriate for him to say.

"Mr. Zhang, I think this battle will definitely happen."

Upon hearing this judgment, Mr. Zhang did not make any obvious statement, but nodded slightly, indicating to Chang Haonan to continue.

"On the one hand, the greatest psychological reliance of Americans in the world lies in their belief in the absolute security of their homeland. Although the threat of intercontinental nuclear missiles has been rumoured for decades, it has never been realized, and there is a lack of actual feelings. Even World War II did not have any serious impact on North America.”

"So, this time, it is actually the first time in more than a hundred years that Americans have been beaten on their doorstep. It is impossible to endure it no matter what."

"On the other hand, after the 1999 incident, the military myth that the US military finally established through the Gulf War has once again been loosened. Therefore, they urgently need an opportunity to reassert their strength to the world."

Although two years have passed, when talking about the Allied Forces operation, Mr. Zhang still had a happy expression on his face.

For those in the know, that time was indeed a relief.

Of course, in his position, he could not express his opinions casually on Chang Haonan's opinions, so he just nodded, unable to tell whether he agreed with this judgment.

After a while, Mr. Zhang spoke again:

"So... do you think we should try again the response to the Allied Forces Operation?"

"No, or...completely the opposite."

Chang Haonan took a deep breath, and then said decisively:

"I personally believe that this time, we should go all out to support the Americans!"
