Chapter 155 New Era 5
At seven o'clock in the evening, the school's senior management meeting proceeded as usual.
Daryl took More, who had not attended the meeting for a long time, to his seat. Kate sat at the chief seat and asked An Zhui to report on the expansion of the wall first.
"At present, the western wall will be completed the day after tomorrow. The materials for the southern and eastern walls have been transported to the town. It will only take us a month at most to complete the construction of all the walls."
An Zhui took a handwritten note and carefully reported the construction details to Kate.
No one objected, and Herschel sat calmly in his seat, drinking the drink handed to him by his daughter Beth.
Kate glanced at everyone and announced the next topic.
"There is a tank in our neighboring community of Sinoa. This is new intelligence our search team brought back."
“As you know, the leaders of Sinoa have had conflicts with us, and we need to be prepared to face challenges from other communities.”
"What do you think of the Sinoa community? Let's talk about it now."
After Kate finished speaking, she extended her right hand back, indicating that other senior executives could speak.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, but Moore immediately broke the brief silence: "Fuck, of course we'll kill them! I'm willing to take a team of people to blow up their tanks!"
Herschel was still thinking about how to express his opinion, but when he heard More's radical remarks, the old man's face immediately turned red.
"More! The Sinoyans have never done anything to harm us! What are you thinking about! Also, you are retired now, so just stay in school!"
"Fuck, you old bitch! Are you waiting for them to come to your door with tanks?!"
Moore slammed the table, stood up and glared at Herschel. He hated it most when people talked about his crippled arm.
As soon as the topic of Sinoa started, two high-level officials started to quarrel. The other high-level officials chose to wait and see. They had no intention of interfering with the strategic planning of the outside world, and only needed to manage their own departments.
Herschel glared at Moore. He was not angry because of Moore's rude words to him. He was angry at Moore's attitude towards the survivors outside. It was too rude, even cruel.
"Ahem... Ahem, I have a suggestion. If we are worried about the threat posed by their armed forces to us, then we just need to destroy the tank."
Moore's girlfriend, Professor Maya, stood up and expressed her opinion.
These words silenced everyone present, which could be regarded as a more peaceful response.
Boom!
There was a knock on the door of the conference room. Kate stood up and opened the door. She knew who was coming. Several members of the 141st team came back from Newnan to report on their work.
Price was followed by Soap and Ghost. The old man was holding a burning cigar in his hand. When he saw everyone in the room looking at him, Price put it out in anger.
An Zhui gave up his seat to Price. He had a clear idea of his position. He was Zhang Qiang's housekeeper and did not need to do anything extra to gain face. Instead, he lowered his posture on his own initiative, which made him appear slippery among the senior executives.
"So what are you guys arguing about?"
After Price sat down, he asked everyone in confusion. As soon as he entered the corridor on the second floor, he heard a quarrel coming from the conference room.
Kate told Price the new intelligence the search team had obtained, and Price immediately smiled. He said with a smile:
"It's not a big problem. It's just a tank. We can deal with it with just one Javelin. And we have four Apache helicopters. Hitting tanks with Hellfire missiles is easy."
Kate nodded in agreement, trying to calm the senior executives. She had done so much preparation, and it was finally her turn to make the final decision.
"Have you ever thought about what Principal Zhang would do?"
Kate glanced at everyone and spoke slowly.
"I know Zhang will kill them and then take the tank! Hahahahaha!"
Moore stood up anxiously to answer the question, like a child who knew the correct answer.
"I...Fuck..." Daryl covered his face and couldn't bear to look at it. This stupid guy just told the truth.
Kate gave More an unkind look, Maya winked at him frantically to signal him to sit down, and even Herschel was speechless to More. How could he think so much of the kind Zhang?
"Zhang comes from the ancient East. I know his code of conduct very well: courtesy before force."
"We can use our resources to trade tanks with the Sinoa community. If they refuse, we can use force to deter them or just use javelins to destroy the tank."
"What do you think? No one will get hurt this way. I believe that without casualties, the war between the two sides will not be so easy to provoke."
Kate stared at Moore with sharp eyes, forcing him to sit down slowly. Moore swallowed and knew that he had said the wrong thing because of his straightforwardness.
Kate's proposal sounded very reasonable, and even Herschel, who was against fighting with Sinoa, had to agree to this compromise and nodded in agreement. After all, Herschel didn't want his family to be threatened by other armed forces.
In fact, this compromise was just Kate's rhetoric. She had discussed the leaders of the Sinoa community with Zhang Qiang. The governor was a crazy guy and would definitely not let the Destiny Army get their hands on his precious weapons. At that time, the two sides would definitely have to fight.
Saying this at the meeting now is nothing more than finding a reason for the senior executives to take action. How things will actually develop is not as simple as just talking about it.
As soon as the Heaven's Mandate Army sets out, it will certainly aim to behead the Governor and annihilate the diehard members of the Sinoa community.
Although Zhang Qiang had emphasized many times before he left that Kate should be in charge of the military power, Kate did not want to be the only one who had the final say, as this would only leave potential conflicts within the school. Oriental people like unity, and Kate was worried that Zhang Qiang would be dissatisfied with her when he came back to deal with the internal conflicts.
I have to say, as the director of the CIA, Kate is still thinking a lot...
"Perfect plan, when do we act?"
Price, as the supporting actor, applauded Kate.
"The day after tomorrow. Let's deploy the team tomorrow and prepare resources and equipment."
Kate finalized the time for action and the meeting ended.
