Pentagon.
This war that did not belong to the Americans, taking place on the territory of Egypt and Ribia, kept the entire Pentagon busy, and not even just the Pentagon.
Not so long ago.
The White House has summoned the Secretary of Defense to report on the armed conflict, but the most important thing right now is not to figure out why this damn conflict is happening, but to end it.
Stop this damn war.
And in a decent way that Americans can accept.
"Mr.
Minister, this is the information of the Hunter Mercenary Regiment."
The new Secretary of Defense Panetta has just taken over the scepter of the head of the Pentagon from Gates, who is known as the elder statesman of the Eight Dynasties.
But what followed was not a spring breeze, but a damn war.
"Damn, that's what you found" Panetta was indeed angry.
The information on the Hunter Mercenary Regiment in hand is hardly anything reliable other than what is currently known in the media and sent back from their soldiers on the front line.
Even the introduction of that damn sniper is speculation.
Nothing is known other than that his code name is "The Duke".
Mr.
Panetta, who had been at the helm of the C.I.A. for many years before becoming secretary of defense, knew better than anyone how much power the C.I.A. really had.
If the CIA's ability to obtain only this limited information means that they are facing more than just a bunch of ordinary mercenaries.
It is not even excluded that it is the special forces of other countries.
But in the end, it is Russian or Chinese This is a very tricky question.
"Mr.
Minister, this is the information that the CIA has just sent, and there is no record of the movement of this mercenary group except for the possibility that it has appeared in France."
"France" When have these damned mercenaries ever been to France.
"Yes, Mr.
Minister, according to intelligence, we suspect that the Hunter Mercenary Regiment was on a mission in France before they arrived in the Egyptian class Anseris, and this is a report from our men from England."
Quickly find an introduction to the French operations of the "Duke" and the Hunter Mercenary Regiment from the materials in hand.
Seeing the downed helicopter in the photo, Panetta suddenly felt a little headache.
Damn British.
They must know more about this group of damned mercenaries.
Panetta fell silent.
This war has dragged on long enough, which is both extremely disadvantageous and somewhat unbelievable for the Americans.
The longer it drags on now, the more passive they will become.
The news of the mercenary named "Duke" was not too much for them to deal with, but no one could be sure that he would not have more important information until he had killed the guy.
It made him feel a lot of pressure.
It was the president in the White House who had ordered him to end the war as soon as possible and kill the damn mercenary.
Panetta was keenly aware that Mr.
President must have something to hide from him, most likely about the armed conflict.
He even guessed that it was not ruled out that the information exposed by the mercenary was true.
Other words.
It is highly likely that this administration actually directly contributed to and benefited from the civil war in Ribia.
With his knowledge of the U.S. government, there is a good chance that the damned hawks in the military and government would make such a decision in the face of enormous political and economic interests.
What the hell Why did such terrible questions arise during his tenure.
"So where are our people now?"
The light in the command room was a little dim.
On the huge blue curtain wall, more than 10 displays with different functions are projected, and at this time, these displays are beginning to organize and display information.
A large amount of information is gathered and presented after rapid computer analysis.

Americans' communications and intelligence capabilities are undoubtedly second to none in the world, but even so, Panetta still has some illusion of hiding and seeking.
This mercenary squad called the "Hunter Mercenary Regiment" is so well hidden that it is almost impossible to find any valid information about them except for some intelligence that has no combat value.
"Sir, we lost contact with the Fox Hunters 1 hour ago, and they may have entered the desert area of Ribia by now, and should be in this position."
The intelligence officer quickly circled a topographic comparison map on the computer, and the location was very correct, and Li Changjiang's current location was indeed in this area.
Panetta quickly glanced at the map.
His eyes immediately searched the vicinity.
Ribia Angstrom class Eastern Mediterranean Yes, right there is Eyes suddenly fell on the Mediterranean Sea in the Gulf of Sirte, north of Ribia.
"Our people who are in this place" The finger was quickly pointed to this location.
"Report, it's the Sixth Fleet's amphibious assault ship USS Wasp and USS St.
Peter on a mission in this area."
A Ticonderoga-class cruiser.
A Wasp-class amphibious assault ship.
Almost instantaneously, Panetta thought of using air power to support, but quickly dismissed his idea.
Now that the Hunter Mercenary Regiment and the US Marine Corps have entered Ribia, if armed reconnaissance planes and armed attack helicopters from amphibious assault ships are stationed in Ribia at this time, international public opinion will certainly be aroused.
The person in the White House obviously does not want to continue to make a big deal about this matter, and even does not hesitate to spend a huge price to calm the matter.
But it is clear that this idea is in conflict with the current action.
Because as it stands.
Killing the damned mercenaries is undoubtedly the easiest and quickest way to stop this.
But the difficulty and cost of taking out these guys has far exceeded the expectations of the White House and the Department of Defense, and has even made things more and more tricky.
What the hell.
Who the hell are those damn mercenaries?
"Is there any reaction from the outside now, especially if there is any movement from the Chinese and the Russians."
Panetta is cautious.
Since the White House doesn't want to make a big deal out of it, he will definitely not try to upset the current international balance.
"No, Mr.
Minister, they have not said anything more on this issue than the statement that has been made earlier."
Panetta sighed.
But he actually knew it in his heart.
Whether it is the Chinese or the Russians, in fact, they have already finished their statements, and really smart people will not be too eager to express their positions.
At the moment, the United States has almost blocked its choice by the statements of the Russian and Chinese foreign ministries who have no choice but to send marines and special operations teams into Ribia.
Unless the White House guy once again bypasses the United Nations and sends troops directly into Ribia, as was the case in the Iraq war.
But once it does, it's an all-out war.
With the current situation of the United States, it is difficult to support another large-scale war.
"Tell Cooper Lawrence to send the seals out."
"Yes, Mr.
Minister."
Receiving an order from the Department of Defense, Cooper Lawrence didn't actually find it strange.
But now it is difficult for him to carry out this order.
There are 11 SEALs stationed at Carrera Military Base, having lost four and injured two others during the previous sortie.
Seal trainer Barty, including Seal Trainer, believes it is not appropriate for seals to re-enter Ribia at this time.
"Sorry, sir, I can't carry out this order" t1706231537:
