Reborn American Giants
Chapter 55 The White House Clouds,
Pushing open the door of the famous "Oval Office", Underwood, the leader of the "free world", was sitting behind his desk looking at a document in his hand. He saw his chief of staff, Becker, and
McCarter, director of the Latin American Coordination Office, walked in and put the document in his hand on the paper from 1880
Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom gifted the "Resolute" warship that was rescued by an American whaling ship after it was decommissioned. On the desk made of hull wood and named the "Resolute Table", he asked the two Beckers: "Baker
Hey, McCarter, you're here." President Underwood greeted the two of them, stood up and walked to the sofa.
The two returned greetings to Underwood and then sat down on the sofa. Becker opened the notepad in his hand and said to Underwood: "The discussion is over. There are some things I think you should know about."
"Please tell me," Underwood sat upright. Although he was determined to use force against Grenada, he had not told anyone about this decision. It was just an idea "brewing" in his heart. He would never
On his watch, the "throat" of the United States was tolerated and fell under the control of the "gcist camp".
Clearing his throat, Becker began to report to the President of the United States: "Because the level of this seminar is not very high, I only summoned some middle-level commanders below the rank of colonel, who have been at the grassroots level of the military for a long time.
The command position allows us to more intuitively understand some of the current specific situations of the army."
Underwood nodded in agreement. The U.S. military has never experienced war since the Vietnam War. When he is preparing to use force externally, he should indeed first understand the details of the internal situation of the army. Otherwise, when dealing with a small country like Grenada,
It's normal to win, but it's embarrassing to lose.
"I summoned Lieutenant Colonel Jason Grant of the Marine Corps, Colonel Bryan of the Army, and others. According to their reports, within the army, the upgrading of weapons and equipment, such as the M1 Abrams main battle tank, is still
New equipment such as the lav-25 wheeled armored vehicle has just entered service this year. The army is taking time to familiarize itself with the operation of these equipment. However, Lieutenant Colonel Jensen reported that the Marine Corps is ready. As long as the order is given, the boys will be ready at any time.
Prepare to destroy enemies for the country."
What Becker said about the m1 Abrams main battle tank and other equipment that had just entered service was that the United States was responding to the T55, t-62, t-72 and other tanks manufactured by the Soviet Union, and at the same time replacing the "m60 Patton" equipped by the US military.
"series of tanks, introduced in 1973
Chrysler signed a prototype vehicle trial production contract, completed the prototype vehicle trial production in 1976 and conducted a comparative evaluation experiment at the Aberdeen Proving Ground. Chrysler won the victory and signed the contract, began comprehensive engineering development, and delivered the vehicle in 1982
The first batch of production cars.
The same is true for the lav-25 wheeled armored vehicle. It just entered the army in 1983. At the same time, the US military also has a lot of high-tech equipment entering military service. Any equipment cannot be able to exert its combat effectiveness as soon as it is in the hands of the army.
After a long period of running-in and training, Underwood certainly understood
Bai Bai, even if he didn't understand, his military advisers would remind him, but the current situation may not wait for this batch of US military equipment to be run-in. After the training was completed, Underwood clapped his hands and praised him.
: "They are all a group of great young men. I believe they have the ability to safeguard our American interests."
After a pause, Underwood continued to say to Becker: "Remind me later to contact Casper (Secretary of Defense) and ask him to send personnel to supervise the training of the troops. Although I don't want to admit it,
But the situation in Grenada makes me feel uneasy, and I think our troops will soon be dispatched."
Becker and McCarter were stunned. This was the first time that Underwood revealed that he had plans to attack Grenada. Before this, although Underwood's confidants had made speculations, no one could do anything about such a big matter.
They didn't dare to confirm and could only think silently in their hearts, but now, they finally confirmed the news of the coming war from Underwood's mouth.
Becker cheered up and said to Underwood, "I know," while writing down the incident on his notepad.
"Go on, what is the CIA's report on Grenada's intelligence?"
"Kelly, the director of the Latin American Intelligence Center, also arrived today. According to his report, the Grenada government army has two infantry battalions, a field artillery company and an anti-aircraft artillery company, with a total of about 2,000 people. The infantry are equipped with some light weapons, similar to
Submachine guns, light machine guns, 120mm Soviet mortars, 23mm twin anti-aircraft guns, etc. There are no tanks or heavy artillery, only some Soviet btr-60s.
There are no armored vehicles, and there is no air force. The navy has some small gunboats, that's all." After thinking for a while, Becker added, "Well, Georgia also has a militia team of more than 2,000 people, but there is one thing worthy of our attention.
According to intelligence from the CIA, there is currently a Cuban engineer battalion on the island, and they are building "that airport". There are about 700 people, and their combat effectiveness is unknown."
This small amount of troops and equipment is really not worth mentioning for the United States, so Becker's expression is very relaxed. Once the United States decides to take action, the force Grenada possesses will not be able to resist the powerful American army.
Underwood adjusted the glasses on his eyes and thought quietly. Grenada is also a member of the Organization of American States. As early as 1949, at the ninth meeting of the Organization of American States, it signed the Charter of the Organization of American States and adopted it at the same time.
The International Law of the Americas was established, stipulating that the member states of the Organization of American States commit themselves to continent-wide solidarity and complete non-interference. The principle of non-interference has become an integral part of the international law of the Americas, in addition to the observance of democracy, economic cooperation, social justice and
principles of human rights.
Now that the United States wants to take action against Grenada, it must face this "Inter-American International Law". Of course, the United States can rely on its own strength and ignore the commitments it made when it signed this law. However, now that anti-American sentiment is rising in Latin America, "
When the left-wing movement flourished
At this time, if the United States insists on taking action against Grenada regardless of the impact, then Underwood's "return to Latin America" policy will face the risk of "bankruptcy". At the same time, Grenada is still a member of the Commonwealth. Therefore, its "ally", the United Kingdom
Human reactions must also be taken into consideration.
McCarter, director of the Latin American Coordination Office, is very aware of all these concerns. He also knows where Underwood's "concerns" lie. Therefore, this is why he is in this room at this moment. Underwood needs him.
Latin America" gives advice.
"Mr. President, I think we still have time," McCarter smiled and broke the silence in the room. When Underwood's eyes followed the voice and turned to him, McCarter said: "Now what Austin has established."
Since the Revolutionary Military Committee had just overthrown Bishop, it had not yet grasped the situation in the country in a hurry. Now Bishop's supporters took to the streets to confront the troops controlled by Austin. If something happens to Bishop at this time
…”
McCarter's words made Underwood's eyes light up. Once Bishop died, the Americans would have an excuse to intervene in the Grenada incident. But he soon realized that Bishop could die in the hands of anyone, but he must not die in the hands of the Americans.
Let alone doing anything, Underwood couldn't have any relationship with it. Underwood thought in his heart and murmured: "This is a good thing, but we can't do it."
"Of course we can't do this," McCarter said with a mysterious smile on his face, "Just because we can't do it doesn't mean Austin can't do it."
"Oh?" Underwood looked at McCarter with doubtful eyes, waiting for his next words.
"After the success of Austin's coup, Bishop was placed under house arrest in the Prime Minister's Office. Assuming, just a hypothesis, that Bishop's "supporters" rescued Bishop at this time, this scene will definitely be very "lively"..."
McCarter's words were not fully stated. Everyone present was a seasoned politician who all understood the development of events in this situation. Bishop had a huge reputation and his past policies had also gained him support from the people, while Austin controlled
Grenada's army, facing Bishop, was rescued
When he came to "force the palace", he had only two choices, either to give up his rights and "make peace" with Bishop, and then wait for Bishop to regain power and then liquidate himself, or to be ruthless and choose "physical annihilation" and a one-and-done assassination.
Get rid of Bishop and calmly deal with the situation yourself.
Underwood and the other three are all "human beings". If you think about it, if you were in that situation, you would choose to go all out and fight hard, and Austin's choice is obvious.
