Chapter 376: Dragon Country will definitely be a strong rival in the future!
Hearing what Marshall said.
Almost all the generals present were speechless.
Although the lieutenant general who asked the question was refuted by Marshall with almost insulting words, it was probably because he really realized his own stupidity.
Still fearing Marshall's power, he could only bow his head and remain silent.
"So, considering all the factors, we can only conclude that these weapons were made by the Dragon people themselves!"
"Well, my dear Mr. Secretary of State."
At this time, after hearing Marshall's voice fall.
Howell's voice, which had been silent all this time, rang out again.
"You mean, we will definitely lose this war?"
"Then the most important thing we should do now is to withdraw our troops and admit defeat in this war?"
At this moment, Howell's words were full of self-mockery.
"As the initiator of this war, shouldn't I also resign and give an explanation to the people?"
"No, that's not what I meant."
"I'm not saying all this to dampen your morale."
"I just want to let you know the seriousness of the situation now!"
Marshall said this, took a breath and continued.
"Besides, I have no intention of asking you to withdraw your troops."
"On the contrary, what I mean is that we must continue to fight this battle, and we must win!"
"This... Your Excellency, Secretary of State, I'm sorry I don't understand what you mean..."
After hearing Marshall's words, Howell's whole body was shocked, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes.
Originally, he thought that Marshall stood up this time to deliberately cause trouble for him.
After putting the blame for these defeats on himself, he would then support one of Marshall's own men to take over as the president.
But unexpectedly, Marshall not only did not impeach him because of this incident, but instead supported him to continue fighting...
There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.
Although I don't know what Marshall is thinking.
So Howell simply shut up and waited for the other party to speak.
"I say that because."
"The rise of a red bear has already made our Eagle Nation very uncomfortable."
"And now, the Dragon Kingdom seems to be showing signs of rising!"
"What if we admit defeat now, withdraw to our homeland, and allow Dragon Country to become a brand new superpower?"
"Then we will have no place to stand in the whole of East Asia or even Southeast Asia!"
"At the same time, we are facing a joint attack from two superpowers!"
"This is absolutely unbearable for us!"
Marshall spoke in a slightly hoarse voice, enunciating each word.
"The emergence of a red bear with a population of only 3 million has already overwhelmed us."
"And do you know how many people there are in Dragon Country now? 400 million to 500 million!"
"This is their population after just experiencing hundreds of years of war!"
"If they were given a dozen years to peacefully oppose the war, according to estimates, their population would soon exceed 7 million!"
At this point, a hint of unconscious fear appeared on Marshall's face.
"Seven hundred million people! That's the combined population of Eagle Country and all of Western Europe!"
"Also, although the woolly bear is huge, the actual habitable area is different."
"Dragon Country occupies almost all the best places in Asia!"
"A Red Dragon Nation with a civilization completely different from Western countries, a large population, and a vast territory, if it rises, it will probably be even more difficult to deal with than the current Russian bear!"
"He may even become the most powerful opponent in the history of our Eagle Nation, bar none!"
"So, no matter what, my opinion is that we must take advantage of the fact that Dragon Country has not yet fully risen and deal a heavy blow to it!"
"Directly interrupt the rising fortunes of the Dragon Nation!"
"Then, depending on the situation, we can dismember Dragon Country! It would be best if we could completely split this country into seven or eight countries."
"Completely eliminate this threat that could threaten us..."
Hear Marshall's endless chatter.
The senior officials of the United States present were all lost in thought.
I was constantly brainstorming in my mind to analyze the feasibility of the Marshall Plan.
However, at this moment, the voice just now rang out again.
The lieutenant general who had just asked Marshall a question asked with a hint of reluctance in his tone.
"Mr. Marshall, we all understand your thoughts."
"We already understand your intentions."
"We also want to tear the enemy, Dragon Nation, into pieces, but the problem is..."
"what should we do?"
The lieutenant general spread his hands and said.
"You also said that those advanced weapons of Dragon Country were all made by themselves."
"If that's the case, then it means they don't have any shortage of weapons and supplies."
"At the same time, you have also seen the combat effectiveness of the Dragon people's troops."
"Even when their weapons were inferior to ours, they were able to defeat us through their elusive movements and excellent tactical skills."
"The war lasted three years, and we mobilized nearly one-third of the nation's military strength, yet we suffered a crushing defeat on the peninsula..."
"According to this calculation, even if we concentrate all our military power in East Asia, we may not be able to defeat the enemy on Dragon Country's homeland..."
"By that time, not only will Sakura take the opportunity to bite us back."
"Even the entire Western Europe will be swallowed up by the Russian bear..."
After hearing the lieutenant general's speech, the dozen or so senior American officials present nodded secretly.
He's right.
The reason why it seems that everything on Blue Star is under the control of the Eagle Sauce is because the Eagle Sauce has the most powerful military force on Blue Star to support it.
If, this time we attack Longguo with all our strength.
Fortunately, I was able to take it down smoothly.
But, if we lose, or even if the entire army is annihilated.
The good situation accumulated by the Americans after World War II has completely returned to zero!
The entire Eurasian continent will completely turn into a sea of red.
North America, where the Eagle Sauce is located, usually seems to be a chosen place with "two oceans in the east and west and no strong enemies in the north and south."
But in the final analysis, he is just a "world island" independent of the Eurasian continent.
Once the Eurasian continent unites and stops playing with him, the Eagle Sauce will fall into a chronic death over time without even needing to be hit!
Therefore, the risk of engaging in a full-scale war directly with the Dragon Kingdom is too great.
However, the benefits are not proportional to the risks.
Therefore, most of the American generals, after careful consideration, rejected Marshall's idea in their minds.
After all, no matter how much Marshall talked, he still couldn't solve the most critical problem.
Can't win.
"Yes, Dragon Country's current conventional weapons are indeed superior to our Eagle Country's."
"They do have an extremely powerful army."
"But this doesn't mean we can't win this war!"
At this time, hearing the lieutenant general's questioning, Marshall still looked confident.
Then he added lightly.
"Generals, gentlemen, have you all forgotten that we once spent so many dollars on the 'Manhattan Project'..."
