#726 - Chapter 726: Not a free voyage? Troops stationed on three sides, encircling North America!
Albert frowned visibly.
Something bad?
Is there bad news?
He had been in a good mood lately. North America was moving in a good direction, and even Lawrence's visit earlier, claiming military spending was in trouble, wasn't exactly bad news.
As a result, after the two put their heads together, it immediately turned into good news.
With the wealth of drug dealers and gangs, once a 70% tax was levied, not only would military spending be solved, but there would be plenty left over!
Thinking of this.
Albert's confidence soared: "So-called bad news, once it gets to me, will become good news—Lawrence, right?"
Lawrence hadn't left the office yet.
He laughed loudly: "Of course! With the President's talent, trouble will also turn into a good thing!"
The Secretary of Defense was dumbfounded.
Did they know what they were talking about?
Where did this confidence come from?
"Speak, what is it?"
Albert picked up his coffee, appearing nonchalant.
"A fleet composed of Type 055 and Type 077 ships is heading towards the Western Pacific!" the Secretary of Defense said urgently.
"Tch!"
Lawrence sneered.
What's the big deal?
Isn't it just freedom of navigation?
Some time ago, China's two major aircraft carrier fleets appeared separately in North America, sailing near the east and west coasts.
Anyway…
Since the North American aircraft carriers can't beat them, let them have freedom of navigation, it won't cost us a hair!
Okay!
Lawrence and Albert have now learned the spirit of Ah Q.
Freedom of navigation was first proposed by North America.
Now that China has freedom of navigation, it's very reasonable—if you can't beat them, just pretend you don't see them.
"It's not a Chinese fleet!" the Secretary of Defense added.
"What?!"
Lawrence, who was just being Ah Q, shouted with a look of anger: "As long as it's not China, whoever dares to come to North America for freedom of navigation, we will never let it go!"
Alright!
That's China's little brother!
It is China's overseas front!
Many of China's large-scale equipment are exported via Myanmar as a springboard, and even promoted to the outside world by Myanmar.
Attack Myanmar?
First, we don't dare.
Second, we're not sure we can beat them.
"They are not exercising freedom of navigation!"
The Secretary of Defense said urgently: "Myanmar just issued a statement saying that they will… sell equipment to Mexico at cost price!"
Instantly!
Albert and Lawrence both changed color.
Exporting military equipment?
Mexico simply wouldn't use China's modern equipment, especially large warships.
According to the usual practice, the warships are controlled by the Burmese!
Saying it's an export is tantamount to Myanmar stationing troops in Mexico!
"Mr. President!"
The Secretary of Defense added: "Myanmar claims that it will subsequently export and station 100 Blade Sea-class cruisers and at least 1,000 J-22 fighters to British Bermuda, French Saint Pierre, and Mexican Guadalupe!"
"F*ck!"
Albert was almost scared to pee.
Currently.
The total number of Type 055s in the world is still less than a hundred.
There are no more than 200 J-22s.
China wants to station so many in these places?
What's deadly is…
Besides mainland Mexico.
There are also British Bermuda, French Saint Pierre, and Mexican Guadalupe.
The above three islands are distributed around the North American mainland and belong to the east and west coasts.
To put it bluntly.
Once this situation is formed, it means that in addition to Maple Leaf Country in the north, the east, west, and north directions of North America are completely surrounded into a pocket formation!
You need to know that Chile, far away in South America, introduced a large number of advanced warships, which made North America feel like a lump in its throat.
If Myanmar's encirclement is formed…
The entire North American mainland is within the range and combat radius of Type 055 and Type 077 carrier-based aircraft.
The consequences are unimaginable!
Mexico now listens to Chile.
Who does Chile listen to?
It goes without saying.
Bermuda and Saint Pierre belong to Britain and France respectively.
France has long been showing goodwill to China, and England is even surrounded by India. Without China's exported equipment, it would probably have been encroached upon by India—these two countries will definitely agree to let Myanmar station troops on the islands.
"Mr. President, what… what should we do?" the Secretary of Defense said anxiously.
"How would I know?!"
"Didn't…"
The Secretary of Defense was dumbfounded: "Didn't you say that bad news would become good news when it got to you?"
"…"
Albert almost choked to death.
How can this become good news?
I can't do it!
"Repatriate them."
After a moment.
Albert lowered his head dejectedly and waved his hand, saying: "Repatriate those damn immigrants!"
Of course, he knew Myanmar's purpose.
It was to receive instructions from the big brother.
Extreme pressure!
Either, hand over the people to me, and I will recover the money they owe.
Or.
At the risk of losing more than one trillion, I will add another trillion to surround the entire North America in the middle, and either trap you to death or scare you to death!
What to choose?
Albert had no choice!
In order to solve the military spending problem, put the entire North American mainland under countless Type 055s?
Once this happens.
He will be immediately driven off the stage!
…
New York.
Central Park Tower.
It is not only a landmark building in New York, but also the most expensive real estate in the United States.
In one of the luxury houses with more than 2,000 square meters.
Guzman was in his private swimming pool, overlooking the lush Central Park.
A cigar in one hand.
Red wine in the other.
No fruit in hand?
No need!
Several beautiful women with excellent looks and figures, wearing small cloth swimwear, surrounded him to feed him fruit.
Guzman couldn't help but sigh.
Worthy of being a former superpower!
Even if it's not as good as before, it far exceeds Mexico.
In Mexico, as the biggest drug lord, he is certainly responsive to every call, but the country itself is too poor.
Some enjoyment in Mexico, even with money, is difficult to achieve.
Suddenly!
The phone rang.
"Hello?" He answered the phone.
"Mr. Guzman."
A cold voice came from the phone: "The total amount of your debt is 76.3 billion…"
"Go to hell!"
He had received debt collection calls many times: "I'm in North America! Haha… I can tell you the address—dare you come and get the money?!"
The other party had threatened many times before, but ultimately there was no action.
"This time, it's different." The other party sneered.
"What's different? F*ck!"
Bang!
Guzman's words had just fallen.
A loud noise came.
What's the situation?
He was startled, reached out to grab the gun, and shouted: "What are you guys doing? This is North America, there is the Castle Doctrine—kill him!"
He had a large group of armed bodyguards around him.
But there was no gunfire.
The bodyguards all rushed over, and each of them took out their guns.
But!
What rushed in was fully armed…
Special Forces?!
"CTU!"
A loud shout sounded: "Surrender immediately! Any resistance or counterattack will be regarded as a terrorist and shot dead directly!"
CTU.
Counter-Terrorism Unit under the Central Intelligence Agency.
Specially used to combat terrorists and organizations.
Elite among elites!
When the bodyguards saw the attire and heard what the other party said, they all squatted down without hesitation.
They were just bodyguards, how dare they confront official institutions?
Unless they were crazy!
"No…"
Guzman, who had touched the gun, immediately retracted his hand without thinking, and raised his hands in surrender: "Misunderstanding! There are no terrorists here, I am Guzman, your Secretary of State Lawrence personally called…"
