Agriculture Maniac

Chapter 622 Battle of the Mackenzie River

When the three departments held an internal meeting.

Robert Gates, the North American Pentagon's Chief of Defense, also convened a number of generals and advisors for a serious discussion regarding the Japanese islands' entry into northwestern Canada.

In the eyes of federal capital.

In 06, the three departments experienced extremely rapid growth.

Taking advantage of the South Pacific tsunami, it extended the economic circle of the Vietnam-Hong Kong-Macau region to Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, and Malacca, consolidating the three groups' position in Southeast Asia.

Using its combined fleet, it expanded its influence in Latin America through the Mexican campaign, encompassing Cuba and Jamaica.

Utilizing the three ports of Vladivostok, it extended the Far East agricultural reclamation area to Chukotka, and used Tomorrow Island as a springboard to launch its polar expedition.

With the help of the Earth-Moon launch platform of the three-system aerospace, and through a nuclear-powered spaceplane, it will soon achieve the manned lunar landing of the three-system aerospace in a frog-jump manner.

With the help of global resources, it carried out a second upgrade of the 'Dongyue-class guided missile cruiser' and launched a series of unmanned aerial vehicle carriers, further improving its three-system weaponry.

Against this backdrop, North America suffered an unprecedented subprime crisis.

In order to survive, federal capital had to compromise with the three systems.

On the one hand, they introduced the three financial systems, sacrificing the loan interest rates of the entire North American region for the next ten or twenty years in order to save the North American financial economy.

On one hand, under coercion from Yu Sanyuan, they took out the red money they had earned from investing in the East over the past few decades, and used it to participate in the infrastructure construction of various regions in the East through the trade hall; on the other hand, they bid for the three-system industries and promoted the development of various regions in the East in accordance with the agreement.

This compromise, coupled with the increasing power of the three systems, has led to this situation.

This has led to an increasing number of high-ranking officials and generals in the federal government becoming close to or colluding with the "Three Kingdoms" (a term referring to the Communist Party of China).

As a result, within the federal capital system, more and more capitalists began to secretly transfer assets overseas in order to avoid risks.

It can be said that the Federation has almost lost confidence in confronting the three factions head-on.

Just as capitalists were preparing their escape routes...

AI-powered mountain god defected, and related databases were copied.

The loss of the core control system in the three-system area led to chaos throughout the factory, forcing many fully automated processes to halt production...
It's like playing an arcade fighting game.

The opponent grew stronger with each battle, and it seemed like they were about to unleash a powerful attack... But unexpectedly, instead of releasing the attack, the opponent suffered serious internal injuries from holding it in.

By this time.

After secretly studying Chinese for six or seven years, the senior executives of Federal Capital finally experienced firsthand what it means to find a way out of a seemingly hopeless situation.

So here comes the question.

As the saying goes, "Strike while the iron is hot."

Is the current federal capital tearing up the three-party agreement, taking the opportunity to return to the Asia-Pacific region, and reclaim the first and second island chains?
Or should we negotiate with the three systems to remove some of the unequal trade treaties from the three-party agreement?
Or perhaps it would resolve the issue of Japan's entry into northwestern Canada and consolidate its position in the Americas?

The North American Under Secretary of Defense spoke first: "None of us can be certain of the negative impacts that AI-Mountain God's defection has had on the three systems. Perhaps the production halt of the three systems is real, or perhaps it is fake. Perhaps the three systems only have one AI-Mountain God, or perhaps the three systems have countless AI-Gods and Gods. But in any case, we cannot gamble, because the cost of trial and error is too high."

"And even if we win the gamble, due to the combined fleet, we can at most reclaim the second island chain, but it will be very difficult to take over the first island chain."

"If the gamble fails, the three financial groups will completely withdraw from North America, and the nascent North American financial economy will plummet. Housing prices, healthcare, production... including the three financial groups' military-to-civilian conversion projects in North America will also come to an abrupt end."

"Furthermore, if the bet is lost, the Three Systems will launch a new round of revolution export through Cuba and Jamaica. In the past, not many people worshipped the Three Systems, but now, not to mention ordinary citizens, even that extreme heretic David Ensger has begun to question his own god. Whenever no one is around, he will secretly take out the red book hidden in his chest and then immerse himself in it."

"So I think we now have two options."

"First, we will negotiate with the three systems to revise the Three Americas Agreement, changing 'interest payment' to 'resource compensation,' for example, using Iraqi crude oil extraction rights to pay the interest of the three systems' finance for the next ten years, or using the extraction rights of shale gas in the Americas to pay the interest of the three systems' finance for the next twenty years."

"Secondly, while the three factions are preoccupied with external affairs, we should quickly annihilate the Japanese expeditionary force on the islands to ensure the integrity of the defense of the Americas. Since the Japanese islands cannot obtain food, crude oil, weaponry, or supplies from the three factions, their combat capability will be reduced by at least two-thirds. We only need to deploy 12 troops, combined with 4.5 troops from England and 6 troops from Canada, to fully achieve our ultimate strategic objective..."

If all else fails, then surgery can be performed. After all, northwestern Canada is sparsely populated, and Tijuana Corporation possesses nuclear waste recycling technology. Referring to Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, cleaning up the contamination shouldn't be difficult.

After listening to the analysis, the head of the RAND Corporation, a North American military advisor, showed admiration for the defense secretary recently elected by the Democratic faction.

“I strongly agree with the Deputy Minister’s suggestion because it carries the lowest risk.”

The head of the newly formed North American Space Force countered, "We know very little about the situation in the three systems. Even through collective meetings of the three systems, we only learned that they are focusing on the development of the quantum industry and promoting a manned lunar landing in order to boost morale..."
But who can guarantee that this isn't a smokescreen deliberately thrown out by the three factions to intimidate others?

If the three factions are currently very weak, we shouldn't take the risk. If we wait for them to recover, we will miss the last strategic window of opportunity to eliminate them.

The head of RAND Corporation smiled and shook his head. “General, I know you have taken control of 430 Theta satellites over the Americas with the help of AI-Cthulhu, but do you really have control? You can see the Triads’ military deployments, agricultural projects, and resource collection progress around the world through Theta Starlink, but can you see the Triads’ food strategy around the world?”

You can't see it; you don't even have the authority to make 430 Theta satellites self-destruct.

Doesn't that prove anything?

The head of the Space Force said, "At that time, AI-Cthulhu had not yet breached the bottom layer of Theta Starlink. Give me six months, and it won't be difficult to completely control Theta over the Americas."

The NSA leader suddenly spoke up: "Six months? Ha, you think the recovery period for the three systems is long? Let me tell you, according to our think tank's calculations, the three systems only need two to three months to activate a brand-new AI to eliminate all the negative impacts of the AI-Mountain God's defection."

North American Defense Secretary Robert Gates coughed, “So we only have two months to make the most urgent choices. Or rather, to eliminate Japan’s military presence in the Americas within two months, and to reach a revised agreement with the three systems within two months.”

The head of the space force slammed his hand on the table and sneered, "What can you pro-third faction people do besides be cowards?!"

The North American naval commander said expressionlessly, "What else can we do? We can wait until after the meeting, fire a burst of bullets at you in the parking lot, and then announce that Japan secretly assassinated you in order to seize the Theta satellite controlled by North America."

"."

The North American air force official nodded. "No joke."

"."

The head of the space force suddenly became quiet and stopped saying anything.

North American Defense Secretary Robert Gates ignored this scene, saying, "In that case, let Mr. Bush handle the issue of negotiating with the three systems to revise the Three-United States Agreement. Our priority is to devise a plan to eliminate the Japanese expeditionary force that has entered northwestern Canada and to use the pretext of the Japanese invasion to destroy the polar transport lines deployed by the three systems in the Beaufort Sea and even in the Arctic Ocean."

The Deputy Minister of Defense, elected by the Democratic faction, suddenly raised his hand and said, "There is another important issue: the Northern Republican faction does not recognize the Japanese invasion and prohibits us from crossing the state airspace of the Great Lakes region."

The North American Maritime Commander stated, "Therefore, in this operation, the Third Fleet will head north after completing resupply in Los Angeles, while at the same time, the surface forces in the Gulf of Alaska will head south. Then, from the north and south, together with shore-based weapons and western missile bases, we will launch a pincer attack on the Japanese naval task force stranded off the west coast of Canada."

The Army official added, "Western Canada is the Yukon Highlands, and the northwest is mountainous ice fields. In the current season, the only transportation route is the frozen Mackenzie River. The Army will airdrop 12 airborne brigades to seize key points on the river to cut off logistics to Japan and block the retreat of the Japanese expeditionary force."

North American Defense Commissioner Robert Gates noted down the key points of the meeting, activated the AI-Cthulhu for optimization, and soon a detailed operational plan was presented to the generals.

···
Located in northwestern Canada, north of Great Slave Lake. As Canada's longest river, the Mackenzie River, which flows through the mountains, is not a smooth river.

It has a large drop, and even forms many waterfalls.

Therefore, using the Mackenzie River as a transportation route requires either laying ramps or constructing take-off and landing devices on the frozen river surface, taking advantage of the river's drop.

These devices and equipment, much like bridges over ordinary rivers, become key targets for military strikes.

3 month 10 number.

At 2 a.m., the Pentagon launched its first wave of attacks on the Mackenzie River, which was controlled by the Japanese expeditionary force, using 43 specially designed medium-range Maverick missiles.

After one hour.

43 specially made calf coins disappeared from the North American guidance system.

next moment.

NSA-controlled keyhole spy satellites

NASA-controlled UFO UHF Starlink

The Space Force controls 430 Theta satellites.
Three images were transmitted back at almost the same time.

However, the three scenes are slightly different.

Just like the landing point of the Mackenzie River No. 18 marked by the Pentagon.

After the calf responsible for attacking the area disappeared.

The footage from the Keyhole satellite shows a sudden "Boom!" in the landing area of ​​the 18th satellite, followed by the Japanese island's take-off and landing equipment shattering into pieces. Water splashes up on the frozen river surface, and dozens of Japanese soldiers can be vaguely seen torn to pieces.

Footage from the UFO UHF Starlink shows the Mackenzie River in the landing area of ​​UFO #18, completely still and intact, while ice transport vehicles continue to pass through the Japanese islands.

The footage from Starlink shows the impact point of Missile 18. Boom! The entire riverbed was shaved off. The explosive force of the missile didn't resemble that of a Maverick; instead, it looked like a Javelin fired using plastic-based explosive particles from the III series.

Then···
Three images flashed by suddenly.

The image from the Keyhole satellite has been replaced by an image from Theta Starlink.

The footage from Starlink UFO has been replaced by footage from Keyhole Satellite.

The images in The Starlink have changed to images of UFOs.

Many North American generals: "???"

And then.

Three images flashed by again.

We finally achieved unification.

The North American generals looked at each other in bewilderment.

The NSA official said awkwardly, "Uh... it's probably a technical malfunction during signal transmission."

The Space Force commander nodded. "We have just taken control of 430 Americas Theta satellites, and our operational capabilities need improvement."

A NASA official stated, "UFOs use ultra-high frequency communication, which transmits signals much faster, perhaps a few seconds faster than Keyhole and The Tower. We couldn't capture the explosion the first time, but we were able to capture it in a later update."

Robert Gates, the North American Defense Secretary, is loyal only to Bush.

I feel like a fool for the three parties' rather far-fetched explanations.

"I want to know, where did those 43 specially made Maverick missiles, each costing $3500 million, go?!"

The heads of NSA, NASA, and the Space Force all said in unison, "We don't know."

"···"

"But we can be sure that the guidance system was interfered with and the real-time monitoring was modified by unknown data, otherwise it would not have been able to present three images at the same time and then achieve uniformity."

Robert Gates pondered, “Currently, it seems that only the Yellow River supercomputer of the three systems is capable of doing this, but there is no reason for the three systems to interfere with our attack on the Japanese expeditionary force.”

At this time.

Suddenly, alarms blared from the Pentagon.

[Alert! Alert! Our cybersecurity systems are under attack by unknown data.]
[Alert, alert, the first-layer firewall has failed.]
[Alert...Secret database is being compromised.]
[AI-Cthulhu intervenes…]
[Data flow tracing suggests that Japan has launched a cyber information war against us.]
[Alert: Second-layer firewall has failed.]
[Alarm: The confidential database has been passively activated with a self-destruct program. Self-destruct countdown: 12 minutes and 33 seconds.]
Robert Gates jumped to his feet. "Fuck, the Japanese have launched a war against us!"

The head of RAND Corporation raised his hand. "Calm down. Our core data has already been transferred to Texas. The Pentagon database is not important."

"But the fact that the Japanese dared to do this means they must have been mentally prepared to fight us."

"What can we do? Our top priority now is to eliminate the advance force from the Japanese islands in northwestern Canada."

“No, our primary task is to destroy the Japanese AI – Yamata no Orochi,” Robert Gates said, displaying a map of the core industries of the Japanese islands.

They then focused on Hokkaido, outlining several high-altitude snow-capped mountains.

"The graphics card matrix of the Japanese islands should be here!"

Upon hearing this, the head of RAND Corporation remained silent for a moment, then asked, "What will we use to destroy it?"

"Depending on the terrain, we need 26 bunker-buster missiles to clear the way, including 12 B-53s weighing about 4 tons each with a yield of 900 megatons."

"This will trigger a media storm."

"But the Japanese are attacking our core facility—the Pentagon!"

The head of RAND Corporation shook his head and said, "Then let's expose this matter first... You know, during the hacker war a few years ago, someone also breached the Pentagon network, but it didn't trigger a war. And back then, we were number one in the world. Now we've declined so much. If we use 12 B53s just to infiltrate the Pentagon database from Japan, we'll be criticized by Europe, the United States, and the East. It will also be used by Yu Sanyuan as leverage to negotiate with us to revise the Three-American Agreement."

"Politics, it's politics all the time!" Robert Gates exclaimed indignantly. "This is war!"

"My friend, war is a continuation of politics. Of course, the battle for the Mackenzie River must continue. We must bypass the guidance system that may be interfered with by the Japanese islands and use more advanced technology to send specially made calves to the Mackenzie River."
