Anchor with goods, the price of F2 is very reasonable, right?

Chapter 432: The United States is going to withdraw its troops?
Just as he was thinking about this question, Thomas' voice came from the microphone again: "Admiral, in addition to this matter, there is one more thing to report."

"What's going on?" Brody asked.

"We just..." Thomas described the encounter with the waves in detail, emphasizing the strangeness of the waves. He did not add any exaggeration, but told the truth.

However, after listening to Thomas, Brody still felt that what Thomas said was a bit exaggerated. How could there be such strange waves?
He paused for a moment and asked, "I see. Do you have a video of the waves?"

"Yes," Thomas replied. As for this strange wave, he naturally asked the drone soldiers to keep the video, and he also kept the video of the wave hitting their fleet.

"Okay, send it over first." Brody said.

"Yes!" Thomas replied.

Seeing that Thomas had nothing else to say, Brody put down the phone and hung up.

He was not in a hurry to watch the video sent by Thomas.

Although the waves described by Thomas were strange, the most important thing at the moment was the meeting, and a result had to be reached as soon as possible.

So, after putting down the microphone, Brody thought for a few seconds, and then he stopped worrying about the waves and started thinking about the meeting again.

"James is right. We cannot withdraw our troops in this situation. The whole world is waiting for the US military exercise to begin. If the outside world knows that Kyushu has sent troops and the US has canceled the military exercise, then the message conveyed is that the US is afraid of Kyushu, which is absolutely unacceptable!"

As the world hegemon, the United States has suppressed the world for half a century. If such information is revealed, other countries may become disloyal and bring endless troubles to the United States!
Therefore, this military exercise must be carried out!

"But the current situation is that conducting military exercises is likely to provoke an attack from Kyushu..." Brody thought to himself.

However, he suddenly thought of something, and his body trembled. He muttered to himself: "So far, we have always believed that Jiuzhou will attack us, but will Jiuzhou really attack us? Do they really want to start World War III?"

Brody began to think about this problem seriously.

This issue can be easily overlooked if it is not thought about deeply.

But if you think deeply, you will find the difference - no major power will easily start the Third World War.

Unless there is no other way!

However, the current situation is only a problem concerning a trade circle, and Kyushu is not at the point of being desperate.

Therefore, Kyushu is sending troops now not to start a war, but to show that it is not afraid of the United States and to resolve this matter, so it sent troops!

Thinking about this, Brody felt it made sense.

So he turned on the video call. Hearing everyone still arguing, he said, "Everyone, be quiet and listen to me."

As soon as Brody said this, the people who were arguing immediately quieted down and wanted to hear what he had to say.

After all, when he asked everyone to be quiet, it meant that he had something important to say.

Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Brody said, "Major General Wilson just sent a communication request. I talked to him for a while and he said something, but we will discuss this matter later."

After explaining the phone call just now, he started to talk about business: "In fact, we have overlooked a problem. We have always thought that Jiuzhou wants to start a war, but this is just our guess. It should be impossible for Jiuzhou to start a war with us just for a trade circle, thus triggering the Third World War, right?
"Just like we don't want to start World War III with Kyushu because of a DN Asia trade circle."

When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned and confused.

If you think about it carefully, it does seem to make sense!
If Jiuzhou really wanted to start a war with the United States by sending troops, it would indeed be very likely to trigger World War III. But Jiuzhou would not do so for the sake of a DN Asia trade circle.

"So, what do you mean?" Air Force General Charles James asked in confusion. He had already thought of something in his mind, but he didn't know whether Brody thought the same thing, so he didn't say it out loud, but asked it out loud to confirm whether Brody's idea was consistent with his own.

Brody stared at Charles on the video call and spoke slowly: "I think Kyushu's military action this time is not intended to provoke a war, but to demonstrate their strength and declare their fearlessness to the world as a means to resolve current problems."

Everyone fell into deep thought, savoring the meaning of this sentence.

Charles thought to himself, this is exactly what I think. Then he also began to think deeply about this issue.

After a while, Charles expressed his support: "I agree with Admiral Smith's analysis." This view is reasonable, and Charles is opposed to the withdrawal of troops, so he naturally agreed. Following Charles's statement, other senior officials also expressed their support.

"That's right. A DN Asia trade zone is indeed not worth causing Kyushu to start a third world war with us."

"I think so."

Everyone agreed, however, two senior officials held different opinions.

"But this is just speculation. What if Kyushu launches an attack right after we start the military exercise?"

"Yeah, do we really have to go to war with Kyushu because of this?"

The two senior officials who opposed the move raised questions.

As soon as he finished speaking, someone retorted: "If a war really breaks out, we have nothing to fear!"

"We don't want war. How could Kyushu easily start a war just for a trade zone? It would not benefit them."

The meeting room fell into a heated debate again. Brody frowned slightly, his expression calm but with a hint of melancholy. He looked at the president in the video, knowing that the president would have to make the final decision.

Previously, Charles's correction prevented Brody's views from being supported.

His opinion was rejected amidst the opposition of the crowd. After all, national affairs are not decided by one person.

The president frowned, his wise eyes full of hesitation.

When Brody put forward his point of view, he also thought that Kyushu might send troops not to start a war, but to solve the problem. However, this is just a guess after all.

If Kyushu really intends to provoke a war, wouldn’t the military exercise become the fuse?

But after hesitating for a moment, the president seemed to have thought of something and made up his mind.

"As far as the current situation is concerned, although withdrawing troops is the safest approach, it will bring great trouble later. When other countries see Kyushu sending troops and the United States withdrawing its troops, they will mistakenly think that the United States is afraid of Kyushu, which will lead to a series of subsequent problems. Therefore, the only way to go now is to continue the military exercise."

Of course, if Brody hadn't made this analysis, he might have been inclined to withdraw his troops. After all, going to war with Kyushu for a trade zone, or even possibly triggering World War III, was not worth the loss.

After making the decision, the president looked up at the people who were still arguing in the video conference and said, "Okay, stop arguing. I think what Admiral Smith said makes sense." Everyone was shocked when he said this. Although the two senior officials who held opposing opinions were unwilling to accept it, they did not speak out their opposition.

So the matter was settled. Brody immediately called Thomas and ordered them to start the military exercise.

After the call was hung up, everyone in the conference room began to feel nervous and uneasy, worried that Jiuzhou would suddenly launch an attack. After all, everything just now was just based on speculation, and no one could predict Jiuzhou's true intentions.

……

On the sea, the fleets of the United States and Japan have begun military exercises.

In the control room of the Kyushu Fleet's aircraft carrier, Captain Ji Yuanzheng looked serious and solemn. He gave the order without hesitation: "Begin the military exercise immediately!"

……

At the same time, in the East China Sea, a huge wave was moving at an extremely fast speed.

The waves were about two meters high and about two hundred meters long.

And below this wave, a huge ship is shuttling back and forth at high speed. It is it that caused this wave - the Swift!

In the central cockpit of the Swift, sitting in the main driving seat, Wang Yang was enjoying a delicious self-heating hot pot.

The steaming white rice and the fragrant fried beef with chili whetted his appetite.

Since cooking was not possible on a nuclear submarine, he brought some convenience foods.

From the United States to Kyushu, across the entire Pacific Ocean, it would take more than a day for the Swift to travel at full speed. How could it not prepare some food?

"Yuyan, how long will it take to reach our destination?" Wang Yang asked while eating.

"Sir, it is now twelve twenty-three. It is expected to arrive at the Niaozui sea area in Lechang District, Zhoufu City, Jianfu Province, Kyushu. It will take another hour and thirty-five minutes." Yuyan's voice sounded in the cockpit.

"There is still more than an hour left...it's almost there!" Wang Yang said excitedly.

In more than an hour, he will reach the coastal area of ​​Jianfu Province in Jiuzhou, which means he will soon return to his motherland! Wang Yang didn't know that something had just happened on his Swift. Since the Swift was equipped with active sonar, it could only detect the situation inside the ocean, so he knew nothing about what was happening outside.

"First, I'll go visit my parents and let them know I'm safe, and then I'll go to the capital to look for the two little fishes..." This is what Wang Yang wanted to do the most. However, he didn't know what would happen to him when he approached the coastal areas of Kyushu...

……

At the same time, the fleets of the United States and Japan have already started military exercises and announced the start of the military exercises. This news quickly caused a huge sensation around the world! Because the whole world is paying attention to this military exercise, wondering why it has not started yet. Now that the military exercise has finally started, it has naturally attracted widespread attention.

Countless netizens flocked to the forum, and a post titled "The much-anticipated military exercise has begun!" attracted their attention. Below the post was the relevant content of the military exercise: "The military exercise has officially begun. Here are a few videos of the military exercise. More videos will be released later!"

There are four video links attached below the content, including fighter jets taking off, fighter jets flying in the sky, anti-aircraft gun turrets turning, and missile turrets pointing at targets and about to be fired. Netizens were shocked after watching these videos.

Although they had expected the United States and Japan to conduct military exercises, they could not help but feel shocked when they saw the exercises begin. After all, the location of the exercises was not somewhere else, but the outer area of ​​the East China Sea!
Netizens took to the comment section to express their shock, excitement, and surprise in words.

US netizen: "Hahaha, our exercise has finally begun! Those who just said we can't do exercises, are you still here? Does your face hurt?"

US netizen: "It must be painful! I don't understand, what were you thinking at the time, how could you think we would not have military exercises? We have already sent troops, are we just joking about not having military exercises?"

Japanese netizen: "Exactly! Don't you use your brain when thinking about problems?"

Netizen from Eagle Country: "Oh my God... they really did conduct a military exercise! Is there any reaction from Kyushu? Or is there no reaction at all?"

The netizen who sent the message said: "No, Jiuzhou still has no reaction!"

A netizen from China said: "It seems that Kyushu is really scared. But this is also good, at least it will not trigger a war, thus avoiding the Third World War."

Maple Leaf Country Netizen: "Although I said that, I never thought Kyushu would be so cowardly!"

German netizen: "Yeah, I was quite surprised too!"

Bear Country Netizen: “This shouldn’t be the case??”

……

"I drank until late at my friend's wedding and now I still feel dizzy. This is all I can write for today. I don't have a drop of wine left and I have to go to bed quickly..." wrote a netizen from Xiongguo.

"I am also a little surprised that Jiuzhou did not take care of this matter!" another netizen from Xiongguo echoed.

Japanese netizens: "Isn't this normal? Kyushu can't defeat the United States even if it goes to war!"

Japanese netizens: "Hahaha, our country also released a military exercise notice and video!"

Italian netizen: "No matter what, the best outcome is that there is no war between the United States and Kyushu!"

Dutch netizen: "That's right! If these two countries go to war, there is an 80% chance that it will trigger World War III!"

US netizens: "Humph! I wonder if those countries in DN Asia will dare to establish a trade circle with Kyushu now!"

US netizens: "They are not stupid. Jiuzhou doesn't dare to intervene in this matter, so how can they have the courage?"

Japanese netizen: "Hahaha, Kyushu doesn't dare to intervene in this matter, which makes me feel happy!"

Japanese netizens: "I feel the same way!"

……

The comments came flooding in.

Netizens from various countries expressed their opinions, most of which were discussing that Kyushu did not take action because it was afraid of the United States.

Some netizens also believed that after this incident, the establishment of a trade zone between Kyushu and DN Asia would be completely ruined. Seeing how fearful Kyushu was, the DN Asian countries would definitely not mention this matter again.

Among these netizens, those in the United States and Japan were the most excited. Not only did they see that the problem of the DN Asia trade circle had been solved, but they also saw Kyushu's fear from this incident, so how could they not be excited?
