Chapter 910 Public Opinion Offensive

'Nuclear-powered bombers' did not cause a wide sensation within the scope of the United States, and even many strategic military analysis departments regarded this information transmitted by Japan as a 'joke'.

However, when the information was reported to the desk of the CIA Director Panetta, looking at the analysis results of the Intelligence Analysis Center, the former White House Chief of Staff shouted at the head of the Intelligence Analysis Center and scolded.

Although Panetta is not from a 'professional', he knows politics best. He knows how much the current White House owner attaches importance to and eliminates the Third OECD composed of "rogue regimes" such as Somalia and Iran. To this end, the CIA is also starting to form a special working group for this 'OECD' intelligence collection work.

Therefore, any 'suspicious' behavior in this organization must be carefully verified and cannot be concluded based on subjective impressions alone.

The head of the Intelligence Analysis Center also felt wronged. Is Somalia, a third-rate country, more powerful than the scientific research strength of the United States?' What nuclear-powered bombers need to solve is not two problems, but a technical shortage that integrates many fields, which cannot be effectively solved with the current technical strength of the United States. Although Somalia has some discoveries and achievements in one or two military technologies, it does not mean that the comprehensive technical strength of the Somali scientific research department exceeds The United States.

So there is nothing abnormal about lowering the intelligence level of Somalia's 'nuclear-powered bomber'.

But he did not dare to defend, because the other party was the director, and his subjective consciousness was not 100% certain.

"Fuck...!" After receiving a call from the White House General Office about the president's summoning him, Panetta scolded and hurried to the White House.

Secretary of Defense Gates and the Director of the Central Commissioner's Panetta are Obama's 'left-hand and right', and these two people are summoned this time.

Obama expressed his dissatisfaction with the CIA and the Department of Defense's intelligence analysis on the secret development of 'nuclear-powered bombers' in Somalia.

"Gentlemen, I don't care whether Somalia has research and development technology. What I want to say is that 'nuclear-powered bombers' threaten the United States. I don't want to see Somali bombers with nuclear warheads appear above the White House." Obama looked at the two cronies and tried to express his worries and unhappiness in a gentle tone.

"So... what I want to know is how to make Somalia give up this research project?" Obama put his hands on the table and leaned forward to stare at the two and asked.

Gates and Panetta don't understand that the 'nuclear-powered bomber' plan is that the United States has given up. If the Chinese commander of Somalia is involved in this plan and invest all the resources of Somalia, it will be beneficial to the United States, which will weaken the development potential of Somalia. Why does the president want Somalia to abandon this plan? If Somalia suspends this plan, it will only be good for Somalia in the long run.

Isn't it equivalent to helping the 'enemy'?

Obama seemed to see the doubts in the confidence of the two parents. He explained, "Even if there is a possibility of one in 10,000, it will pose a serious threat to international peace. For the American people, they will also worry that one day the bomb in Somalia will not be thrown on their heads. What we need to do is to extinguish any source of the threat to the United States. Moreover, do you think that even if Somalia does not carry out this plan, the development potential can reach the level of the United States? So we don't have to worry that Somalia will really threaten the United States. All we need is to ensure that Somalia's nuclear bombs will not fall on the United States during the current period.

From Obama's point of view, the 'security' of the American people is very important. What the political axe is to do is to make the people feel safe. Only in this way can the people support you. Otherwise, what should the political axe do? Somalia's total economy is small and its national base is weak. Even if it invests limited resources in key places, it can't catch up with the United States, not to mention that the United States has many allies. How many years will it take to catch up with the United States? Fifty years or a hundred years or more?

So for Obama, whether Somalia has the technical power to study nuclear-powered bombers is not the main thing. The important thing is not to sit idly by and watch Somalia study such a project that will pose a major security threat to the United States, because if you sit by and watch Somalia study nuclear-powered bombers, there is a slight possibility of success. After all, the United States and the Soviet Union The 'nuclear-powered bomber' was developed in the 1950s, and the Somali Star Group also has a certain technical foundation. If the Tu-119 bomber is made, it will not be good for the United States. This represents a significant improvement in Somalia's strategic nuclear deterrence capability. Originally, the United States was in the Middle East. Several military bases are within the scope of 'nuclear strike' in Somalia, but with long-range bombers, the United States itself is facing the risk of 'nuclear strike'.

Defense Secretary Gates figured out all this and thought to himself, no wonder the other party could be the president, but he could only be the defense minister. Sometimes the more complicated the problem is, the more it is out of the essence and core of the problem.

The CIA and the Department of Defense want to consume Somalia's strength with a nuclear-powered bomber program. For Obama, even without this plan, Somalia's 'potential' is limited, which is insignificant compared with the United States.

"President, I think we can guide public opinion. At the beginning, China and the former Soviet Union stopped the research of 'nuclear-powered aircraft' because the reactor pollution on 'nuclear-powered aircraft' could not be effectively solved, and most of the bombers would be at a low altitude when bombing, which was easy to be bombed by anti-aircraft weapons. If it is shot down, the nuclear reactor may lead to nuclear pollution. I don't think people in the world want to see a moving 'nuclear pollution source' flying overhead, and there is a risk of crashing at any time. Secretary of Defense Gates thought about it and came up with a solution.

Although in practice, it is impossible for a nuclear reactor to have a nuclear explosion like a nuclear bomb, because the reactor uses low-concentration nuclear raw materials, and nuclear weapons need high-concentration nuclear raw materials. Low-concentration nuclear raw materials cannot complete the chain reaction at all, and there will be no explosion at all, but after all, it is nuclear raw material, and there will always be nuclear leakage and nuclear pollution. It may still pose a threat to the safety of ordinary people.

If 'negative propaganda' is carried out through Western-controlled public opinion, Somalia will face worldwide pressure, which may force Somalia to suspend the research project.

When the director of the Central Existrate's speech, Panetta saw that the president smiled with satisfaction, he quickly followed the proposal, "We can secretly make some preparations, such as the economic and technological blockade of Somalia, the strict control of the flow of relevant technologies into Somalia, and the provision of high-standard parts and strategic materials to Somalia. Countries and organizations, we need to put pressure on them to stop helping the Somali project.

Obama also nodded when he heard the words, and he was very satisfied with the answers of the two assistants.

"Well, leave this matter to the CIA, and I will allocate a sum of money from the president's funds to deal with this matter." Obama happily ended the conversation.

... "It's too bullying!" Li Mo was very angry when he read the reports of several mainstream Western newspapers in his office.

Immediately after that, a spokesman for the Somali Star Group held an emergency press conference, saying to the outside world that the Star Group did not study the rumored 'nuclear-powered bomber' plan on the Internet.

But the media reporters were all-pervasive. Soon a Western newspaper broke the news. It was said that a media reporter was "lucky" to interview a staff member who had participated in the core research project in Somalia, and the staff member of the Star Group, who did not want to be named, said that the Star Group was indeed doing it. A top-secret research program, as rumored on the Internet, is a kind of research on 'nuclear-powered aircraft'. However, due to external pressure and financial and technical constraints, the plan is currently at a standstill.

After a few months, the Somali Star Group is once again 'reputed' internationally. Many military observers, critics, analysts, etc. have expressed their views on the development of 'nuclear-powered aircraft' by Star Group in the media. Most of them believe that Somalia does not have the conditions to solve the problem of 'nuclear-powered aircraft', and they have also expressed concern about the hidden dangers of nuclear pollution caused by 'nuclear-powered aircraft'.

At this time, the United States and Russia, two countries that have developed 'nuclear-powered bombers' and the United Kingdom, which is currently intensifying their research and development, have all said that 'nuclear power' is a driving force with great potential, but before solving nuclear pollution, it should only stay in the laboratory, not rushing into the plane. Above.

In a word, public opinion has one-sided pressure on the Star Group, and there have even been protests in several countries around Somalia.

"Ha ha, these guys know how to make some small moves, but this time they miscalculated." Li Mo sat in the office enjoying the milk tea while looking at the newspaper and laughing.

Brigadier General Assad, deputy commander of the Air Force, smiled and said, "I'm quite strange. I thought they would allow us to study 'nuclear-powered aircraft', but I didn't expect them to stop us from studying in this way."

"I was surprised at first, but when I think about it carefully, I think there is nothing wrong. Everything has two-faced surnames. Some people need the 'positive' side, some people need the 'negative' side, and the 'front and back' that may be needed in special times are also different. Americans now prefer us to reduce 'waste' than hope that one in ten thousand may develop a 'nuclear-powered bomber'.

Assad nodded with deep understanding and said, "Commander, you ordered the staff member of the Star Group who 'does not want to be named', right? In this way, the West believes that we are studying 'nuclear-powered aircraft' and fall into a bottleneck.

Li Mo smiled and said, "True or false, true or false, who can say it clearly if it is not the person concerned? What we need to do now is to cater to the minds of those Westerners and let them see our 'wrongness'. Only in this way can they lose their vigilance and we have time and opportunity.
