Chapter 973 Presidential Decree

At the Elysee Palace in Paris, the French cabinet meeting is being held under the auspices of Sarkozy. The reason for this emergency cabinet meeting is that the U.S. Air Force in the Persian Gulf has been defeated.

The French political axe is afraid that once the Persian Gulf War is over, Somalia will not give up its retaliation against the French attack on Somalia. Thinking about the stealth fleet of the Somali Strategic Air Force, which has an excellent range and a large bomb load, may appear anywhere in France at any time, and it is likely to drop bombs on your roof while you sleep... Fear comes from this.

It is impossible for France to make peace with Somalia, because the price must be the great benefit of the French political axe, and France, which has lost two warships and many fighters, cannot be so cowardly and boneless.

If it continues, France will face the ubiquitous attacks of the Somali Air Force. Do you want peace in France?

The group of cabinet members in the cabinet quarreled endlessly, both the main war faction and the main faction. The main war faction is naturally a French right-wing firmer, and secondly, it also has a very obvious bloodline of the French proud Gaul chicken. They are unwilling to admit defeat and seek peace to a small East African country, which is similar to surrender. Their pride and arsolute in their bones will never allow them to do so.

And the Lord and the faction are more rational. It is absolutely not good for France to continue to fight with Somalia. Originally, there were not many conflicts between France and Somalia, but it was because of accidents and some wrong diplomatic decisions that led to the escalation of conflicts between the two sides and further accumulation to the current level.

Among them, there is a lot to do with some French politicians who are short-sighted. Of course, according to the past practice, there is nothing wrong with those behaviors and decisions. Bullying weak countries is an effective way for big countries to increase their strength and seek benefits. But in the end, it is a joke to find that small and weak countries are not easy to mess with. If you go down rashly, you will collapse a few big teeth.

What's more, it is not that every member of the cabinet acts in full accordance with President Sarkozy's opinion. After all, there are also struggles and interest entanglements within the French political axe, and the night represented by many cabinet members is the interests of the French consortium. Under the threat of Somali warplanes, France's biggest loss is those consortia. What other business development does a country that is under threat of attack talk about? I'm afraid that except for the manufacturer who sells urns, who are the most happy, everyone else will cry.

For the consortium, the face of the French political axe is not worth much money. Especially in the case of conflict with their own interests, it is normal for the cabinet members they support to propose a truce, which is in the interests of the consortium.

The two factions attacked each other and made the cabinet meeting like a vegetable market. Sarkozy was a little overwhelmed and had to order the end of the meeting.

After the meeting, Sarkozy left several direct men behind, as well as Defense Minister Moran, who did not belong to Sarkozy's small group. Now France is at war, and no matter what the major event is, it is impossible to exclude the defense minister.

"My opinion is that the war cannot end, the contradictions between us have been concluded, and we still want Libya, complete the Mediterranean plan, and fill the power gap of the United States moving eastward. These are related to France's current and future interests, and we are not allowed to make any compromises at all." Sarkozy looked at the five or six cabinet members and first opened his mouth to set the tone.

"However, the Persian Gulf conflict is already showing signs of ending. The victory of the Third OECD will completely change the world pattern. The defeat of the American war and the weakening of influence are also an opportunity for France to rise. If France makes the wrong decision at this time, France will lose Go to this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Gentlemen, you can now express your opinions and tell me how to continue to fight and ensure France's victory?

Several members of the direct cabinet looked at each other in front of each other. Sarkozy did not show such an obvious main attitude in the cabinet meeting before, but if we continue to fight, France has to take too much risk. It is true that France has won and gained benefits in this Sofa War, but once the war is defeated or deadlocked, France's losses are also amazing. At that time, will the French people living in the shadow of Somali air strikes allow them to stay on the stage?

"We only need to hold on for three months! I have had a telephone meeting with the President of the United States, and the two sides have negotiated some cooperation matters. The United States will provide France with the new type of missiles that appeared in the Persian Gulf War in three months. At that time, we will no longer worry about the threat of the Somali strategic air force! What we have to do is not to fail or step down in three months. Sarkozy understood the thoughts of his subordinates and once again revealed an important news.

Several cabinet members' eyes lit up, and even Minister Moran was no exception. The United States' new type of missile that can shoot down the French Strategic Air Force is not two countries. Even if other countries have not clashed with Somalia, the performance of the Somali Strategic Air Force has put everyone under heavy pressure. With such effective counter-missiles, the threat to the Somali Strategic Air Force will be minimized.

"President, I propose a surgical tactical nuclear strike on Somalia. Perform surgery on Somalia's main military targets and remove Somalia's counterattack capability with tactical nuclear weapons. Defense Minister Moran first made suggestions.

However, this proposal has caused panic among several other cabinet members. Tactical nuclear strikes? Before that, nuclear weapons had only appeared twice in actual combat, and tactical nuclear weapons, with the development of technology, similar to neutron bombs, shock wave bombs and other small nuclear weapons that reduce collateral damage the weakest, tactical nuclear weapons will be the most likely nuclear weapons to be used in actual combat in war. Surgical removal of enemy-specific targets with tactical nuclear weapons with a equivalent capacity ranging from dozens of tons to 1,000 tons is also a buffer and warning before nuclear war after the outbreak of fierce conflicts between nuclear weapons countries.

"This won't work... It will definitely trigger a nuclear war!"

"God, Minister Moran, you are bringing France to destruction..."

Several cabinet members raised objections one after another, and even glared at Moran. They are just a group of politicians, representing the interests of a certain group in France. Only when France exists can they live a good life. If France is gone, then everything is over.

In the world, the only countries that really have the strength to carry out surgical tactical nuclear strikes are the United States and Russia, and other nuclear weapons countries only have that potential. The United States and Russia have a vast territory, strong fighting capabilities, and enough strategic nuclear weapons to carry out a tactical nuclear strike on a small nuclear-weapon state, and after the other party carries out a limited nuclear counterattack, it will directly carry out a strategic nuclear strike to bring the other party back to the Stone Age. Huaxia's fighting ability is stronger, but the strategic nuclear fighting ability is also relatively limited. As for countries such as Britain, France, India and Pakistan, the fighting ability is very weak, and the strategic nuclear fighting ability is also limited, and the self-retained attack is insufficient.

Now the Somali Strategic Air Force can withdraw its hand. Once France first uses nuclear weapons, whether tactical or strategic, it may cause the other side's nuclear counterattack. Oh, my God, I can't imagine what the scene in Paris and even the Elysee Palace was destroyed by a nuclear bomb. It must be crazy.

"If we don't do this, how can we delay it for three months? Do you use Paris and Marseille? Did Lyon become a ruin in exchange for three months? Or declare surrender? Moreover, if a tactical nuclear strike is carried out on France, the other party may not have the courage to carry out a nuclear counterattack. After all, the incidental damage of tactical nuclear weapons has been minimized, and some residual pollution or damage capabilities will return to normal in a few days at most, and the impact area is small, which does not have such a great impact on the local environment. And after we act, we have already represented the warning attitude of the French political axe. At that time, whether it is useless Americans, timid British, or despicable Russia and China, they will come out to stop it. At this time, we can temporarily stop the war and return to the negotiating table for three months. Three In a month, we will discuss how to solve the problem in Somalia.

Minister Moran's so-called tactical nuclear strike plan is also a bait for the British, Russian and Chinese onlookers, as well as the United States with plans to withdraw. Tease these countries and put pressure on Somalia. It can be said that it can kill many birds with one stone to force Somalia to return to the negotiating table, which not only save the face of France's political axe, but also to buy buffer time for France.

Of course, tactical nuclear strikes are bound to take great risks, because no one can know whether the 'East African devil' will launch a nuclear retaliatory action against France despite the opposition of the world.

Risks and opportunities coexist. After Minister Moran put forward his opinion, he closed his mouth and looked out of the window with his eyes. What he just said was not what he said.

Several other cabinet members also fluttered their eyes, and suggestions were put forward. How to decide depends on you, President Sakzi.

Sarkozy suddenly felt a heavy pressure on his shoulders. One of the things he wanted most now was to go home and ask his famous model's wife to massage him to relieve this depressing fatigue. But he can't. He still has ambitions. He will continue to be active in French politics and lead France to become stronger. The ultimate goal is to replace him with the United States.

This decision is not good. Once the worst happens, he is a sinner in France. If it further triggers a global nuclear war, then he is the sinner of the whole world.

Sarkozy's face is changing like Sichuan Opera's face, his eyes are like a kaleidoscope, and all kinds of complex and changeable emotional changes are also flashing. After a long time, the French president finally made a decision.

"Then follow the advice of Minister Moran, and I will sign the presidential authorization order!" Sarkozy said this sentence with all his strength.
