Chapter 977: Response

With the shooting club's ability to respond, it is no problem to hold a meeting in a short period of time to deal with emergencies.

Without special circumstances, the shooting club can still ensure that all members attend the meeting, and when facing such a big change, all members of the shooting club must attend.

Lloyd still said that the dilemma in front of him was something that needed to be decided urgently. It's not a solution, but a decision, in other words, a choice.

"Donte asked me to help him do something crazy. I don't know what it is yet, but I can be sure that the consequences will be very serious. Now I don't think it's good, everyone help me think about it together."

Lloyd's tone was still calm, but everyone knew what his dilemma was. .??.

In fact, the choice is easy to make, that is, you must not be tied to Donte's ship, especially you must not drag the entire shooting club into the water.

Eric, who helped Lloyd and Biden to connect, still has a say at this time.

Eric said without hesitation: "We must not follow Donte to die. No matter what he does, as long as we stand with him, the result will not be good."

Tom hesitated and said: "Can we please both sides and stabilize during this period, and wait for Biden to take office, there will be no problem."

Lloyd smiled bitterly, and then he said helplessly: "The result of pleasing both sides is often offending both sides. It is of course best to stabilize the current situation, but I think if I don't agree to Donte's request, I will be fired immediately."

Marcus hesitated, but he still whispered: "Then resignation is fine. ? Resign voluntarily. Today is the 7th. In less than half a month, Biden will take office. As long as these ten days pass, can you go back? "

"It's impossible. This position is reserved for your own people, for your own people who need to be rewarded. If the general stays as the White House military adviser, he will have the opportunity to continue to serve as Biden's military adviser, but if he resigns or is dismissed, the possibility of becoming a military adviser from Biden's tenure is too low. "

Jane, who spoke, rarely spoke in such occasions, but whenever she spoke, it was often the final word.

It's not because Jane's status is high, nor because she is a woman, but because Jane's job nature allows her to access a lot of intelligence that others can't access, and when making decisions, she has more information to refer to than others, so Jane's words naturally have weight.

Jane sighed slightly tiredly, and then she continued in a low voice: "Donte is unwilling to fail. He plans to do something extremely immature. Now he has started to operate. If he is involved in these things, it means the end of Zhengzhi's life."

No one asked what Donte was going to do, because Jane could say

if she could, she would have said it.

Everyone was silent. After a long time, Lloyd finally whispered: "Okay, I will resign on my own initiative. Resigning on my own initiative means cutting off from Donte. In this way, there is still hope to make a comeback in the future."

Giving up the current interests, resigning to complete the cut with Donte, waiting for Biden to take office, there will be a chance to make a comeback. This is a concession made after weighing the pros and cons.

Some things can only go up, not down, and they can't go up all of a sudden.

Eric was silent for a moment, and then he suddenly said: "Can we make a deal with Donte? Let him name the price. As long as we keep the position of military adviser, as long as he allows the general to pass this period safely, he can get a lot of benefits."

It's a direct money transaction, without considering other things, using money to buy the position from Donte who is about to resign. Don't mention it, this is really a solution.

After a long silence, Jane suddenly said: "No, it's better to cut off, and voluntarily resigning is the best way."

Eric was puzzled, and he whispered: "Why? Can you explain in detail what exactly does Donte want to do?"

Jane really didn't want to say it, because this matter was too serious, but now, after carefully weighing it, she thought that the interests of the shooting club were greater, and more important than the confidentiality principle she needed to abide by, and finally made a decision.

Jane continued to whisper: "Donte needs a lot of people to help him do this, but we haven't found out who his helpers are. Believe me, no matter what Donte does, it will fail, and it will eventually become a farce, so we must not be tied to him."

Eric thought for a moment and said: "Then we should invest more in Biden. Biden is not just a matter of money. The price to pay is higher, but compared with the risk of following Donte, I think the loss of funds is more bearable."

Many things are not run by Lloyd himself, and he can't show up in person, but as long as someone handles these things for Lloyd, Lloyd doesn't have to show up in person.

Now both of them agree that Lloyd should resign, give up the immediate interests, and save his vitality for the future so that he can make a comeback.

But at this time, Gao Guang felt that there might be other ways. "Uh, can I be an undercover agent?"

After Gao Guang said this, he continued cautiously: "Talk to Biden first, let the general stay in the White House, pretend to cooperate with Donte, but actually help Biden privately."

"No." "Absolutely not."

Jane and Tom objected at the same time, and then Jane whispered: "If it's a low status, it can be done this way, but the general's status is too high. No one will trust a fence-sitter. Even if he survives the current crisis safely, he will definitely be marginalized in the future."

In fact, Gao Guang also knows this truth, but he has hidden worries in his heart, that is, the chain reaction that Lloyd's resignation may cause.

"I'm worried that if the general resigns, it will cause the current stable state to collapse instantly. In particular, it will cause the Pentagon's competitors to misjudge and feel that we have lost power, and then start to actively attack us."

Lloyd whispered: "This is very likely to happen, but all we can do is try to be stable and wait until we can survive this period."

Although the premonition is not very good, we can only survive this period of time. After Bai takes the position, he can help Lloyd up as soon as possible to stabilize the situation again.

It can't always be smooth sailing, and you will always have to face competition.

From the perspective of risk prevention, Gao Guang said in a low voice: "Well, now we have to shrink our business in Europe and suspend our business in Africa. Especially the airlines in Kyrgyzstan will be very dangerous. I should put the airline If the company’s headquarters is moved to another place, how about moving all the planes to Baghdad first?”

Lloyd whispered: "Okay, Baghdad is fine. At least it can be safe. European Command's hands can't reach Baghdad."

After finishing speaking, Lloyd suddenly said: "Hank's position must be moved. Before I step down, Hank, where do you want to go?"

Nowadays, there is an inevitable status gap within the shooting club. Some people are promoted step by step and have a bright future, but some people stay where they are, such as Hank.

But as long as he is a formal member, he will definitely attend the meeting, and Hank has almost finished his seniority in Afghanistan, and it is time for a promotion.

Originally, Hank was going to Europe, but Eric failed to get the position of commander in Europe, so Hank's transfer was shelved. Now Eric is worried that once he steps down, he will never have a chance to come back, so While you still have some say, hurry up and resolve Hank's major issue.

In any case, the members of the shooting club are very united.

Hank hesitated for a moment. He was from the Special Operations Command, and it seemed that it was not suitable to go anywhere else after leaving Afghanistan. At this moment, Eric suddenly said: "Hank is in Afghanistan, right? Well, I personally suggest that it is better to stay in Afghanistan."

>

As soon as these words came out, everyone was puzzled again. Lloyd immediately said: "Why?" Eric smiled and said: "I have some gossip. Biden plans to withdraw troops from Afghanistan." Jane said in surprise: " Oh? I have no information about this."

In terms of intelligence, of course Jane has the most abundant resources, followed by Tom, but this kind of information came from Eric's mouth, so naturally it is not that convincing.

Eric smiled again and said: "Really, I have a very reliable source of information. I originally planned to go to Afghanistan to develop a large gold mine, but a very important aide of Biden stopped me. Because after Biden took office, the first thing he did was to withdraw troops from Afghanistan, so just wait and see, they will definitely withdraw. "

This was big news. The two-term military intelligence elite had no information at all, but it was a businessman who got the information first. After everyone was silent for a while, Hank suddenly said: "This is an opportunity to make a fortune."

Yes, every time the US military disperses from an area, it is an opportunity to make a fortune, and it is an excellent opportunity to make a fortune.

When they left Iraq, they left almost all the heavy equipment of the Army behind. Tanks, armored vehicles, rifles and artillery were all given away or thrown away.

This is not the same as picking up rags, these are all good things in service.

Gao Guang's heart suddenly became excited, and Lloyd also said softly: "Well, withdrawal, if all troops are withdrawn, is indeed a good opportunity. If we can make preparations in advance, the abandoned materials will be enough." Worth a fortune.”

Gao Guang suddenly said: "Otherwise, the airline should stop going to Baghdad and go to Afghanistan. Hank, is that okay?"

Hank said without hesitation: "I will allocate an airport for you to park the plane and let the best ground crews serve you. Our planes are used to perform special missions."

Gao Guang immediately said: "Airplanes alone are not enough. Aircraft only transport some small items. What about those heavy equipment? And there are buyers. It is not convenient to find buyers temporarily. Who is the buyer of American equipment?"

After thinking for a moment, Gao Guang finally said: "I'm going to find a buyer. Well, don't worry about anything else. Let's seize this opportunity first."

Hank said without hesitation: "If we really want to withdraw our troops, I will definitely not be able to leave. So I am starting to prepare now. We will take away all the equipment stationed in Afghanistan. If the Afghans get it, But it’s such a loss.”

Lloyd said: "Yes, the withdrawal must be done in batches. It will have to last for half a year. The first half of the year is enough for us to digest it. Let's start operations now."
