“……”
The conferenceindoorquarrelcontinuous, Mike Pencemaintains total silenceis staring at the Earthmeter of tablecorner, is lost in thought.
会议室内争吵不休,迈克·彭斯一语不发地盯着桌角的地球仪,陷入沉思。difficult problem that United Statesfacesimagination is more serious.美国所面临的难题比想象中的要严重。Although the defense budgethas been increasing, but the soldierquantityhas been reducing.
虽然国防预算一直在增加,但士兵的数量一直在减少。Since the IraqwarendedafterAfghan Warfinished, the US armysoldiertotalfrom the 570,000person of Year 2012peakperiodhas dropped to the current480,000person( Year 2020). At present the United Statesair forceactive dutysoldierpopulation is about 300,000, navy is about 320,000, Marine Teamas beforeis180,000. Naturally, heredoes not countNational Guard of variousstates, mobilizingthesefellowsto participate in the external war, might as wellmobilizes the reserve dutyto be convenient.
自从伊拉克战争结束和阿富汗战争结束后,美陆军士兵总数已经从2012年顶峰时期的57万人降至目前的48万人(2020年)。目前美国空军现役士兵人数约为30万,海军约为32万,海军陆战队依旧为18万。当然,这里不统计各州的国民警卫队,动员那些家伙参与对外战争,还不如动员预备役方便。Innon-asymmetrical war, to the Sea Powercountry, thisquantitystanding- is actually sufficient. Howeverwhatis very unfortunate, facing the Star Ring Tradingtechnological strength, they are at a disadvantagedsidenow. OnHillarystopped the disarmament plan of Obamaluckily, otherwise the presentsituationwill be only worse......
在不对称战争中,对于海权国家来说,这个数量的常备其实已经够用了。然而很不幸的是,面对星环贸易的技术实力,现在他们正处在劣势一方。幸好上一届希拉里叫停了澳巴马的裁军计划,否则现在的情况只会更糟……„,”Knocked the tablewith the knuckle, hintedeveryoneto stopquarrellingto looktooneself, National Security AdviserJohn McCainenhanced the volume saying that „has130,000Americanis being the Colombiafreedomfights, butaccording todata that the Pentagonanalysisobtained, ifwewantedinColombiaobtained‚overwhelming’ the advantage, thenat leastneedsto investcollective armytoSouth America. Country of Moro and Madagascarvolunteer troopson the road, these third worldhooliganswill be drawing the mireus.”
“诸位,”用指关节敲了敲桌子,示意所有人停止争吵看向了自己这边,国家安全顾问约翰?麦凯恩提高音量说道,“已经有十三万美国人正在为哥伦比亚的自由而战,而根据五角大楼分析得出的数据,如果我们想要在哥伦比亚取得‘压倒性’的优势,那么至少需要向南美投入一个集团军。摩洛国和马达加斯加的志愿军正在路上,那些第三世界流氓会将我们拖进泥潭。”At this pointMcCainstopped the moment , to continue to say.
说到这里麦凯恩停顿了片刻,继续说道。„Youneglected the most effectivemethod.”
“你们都忽略了最有效的方法。”„Star Ring Tradingis powerfulenough, buttheirstrategic depthsare limited! Space Elevator, iscentralizedin the Country of Xinhigh-techfactory.

Eventheiranti-aircraftArtillery Systemare very outstanding, is unable to make up for the disparity in quantity!”
“星环贸易足够强大,但他们的战略纵深有限!无论是太空电梯,还是集中在新国的高科技工厂。与其向哥伦比亚这个无底洞扔几十万人进去,不如向西太平洋派出我们的航母战斗群!发射我们的洲际导弹!即便他们的防空系统很优秀,也无法弥补数量上的差距!”„Fires400TomahawkatSpace Elevator, launches the strategicnuclear striketoAnge IslandIndustrial Base, eventheycanarm the tootheachsoldier, we can still makethemreturnStone Age!”
“向太空电梯发射四百枚战斧巡航导弹,对安加岛工业基地发动战略核打击,就算他们能够将每一名士兵武装到牙齿,我们也能让他们退回石器时代!”„Youwere insane!”Sitscalls out in alarminnearbyanotheradviser said that „masters the nuclear weaponmay, not onlywe! Iftheylaunch the retaliatory striketoournative place......”
“你这是疯了!”坐在旁边的另一名顾问惊呼道,“掌握核武器的可不只是我们!如果他们对我们本土发动报复性打击……”„Butourincomesare huge!”McCainsaidresolutely. „Looked at the distant point saying that so long asabsorbedtheirtechnology, byus and industrialstrength of ourally, could not needdozensyearswe to colonizeGleiz581to come upin turn! Rather thanfights the defensive warinmain house gateandAlien!”
“但我们的收益是巨大的!”麦凯恩语气坚定地说道。“望远点说,只要吸收了他们的技术,凭借我们和我们盟友的工业实力,要不了几十年我们就能反过来殖民到格利泽581上去!而不是在家门口和外星人打防御战!”As forblowing upSpace Elevator, so long as the technologyin the hand, reconstructsoneat the worstwhen the time comes. After waiting fornewSpace Elevatorto make, took advantage of opportunityto incorporateagainStar Ring TradingMoon, isMars Colony, leadinghumanityto move towardin the futureisUnited States, rather thanwhatCountry of XinorStar Ring Trading!
至于炸毁了太空电梯,只要技术在手上,大不了到时候再造一个。等新的太空电梯造好之后,再顺势收编了星环贸易的月球、是火星殖民地,带领人类走向未来的将是美国,而不是什么新国或者星环贸易!„Thiswas too risky.”
“这太冒险了。”Mike Penceknits the brows, actuallypondered overat heartsecretly.迈克·彭斯皱眉,心里却是暗自琢磨了起来。
Before Star Ring TradingseabedMissile Silois very long, hehas heard, but before Hillaryresigns, did a good deed, thatintroducedGuam, Wake Islandand othermilitary baseTHAADair defenseArtillery System. IfCountry of Xinfires the intercontinental ballistic missilefromwestPacific Ocean, very bigprobabilitytheycancomplete the interceptionin the missileascent stage......星环贸易的海底导弹井很久以前他就听说过了,但希拉里卸任之前还算是干了件好事,那就是将萨德防空系统引入了关岛、威克岛等军事基地。如果新国从西太平洋发射洲际导弹,很大概率他们在导弹上升阶段就能完成拦截……May unable to blockby some chance......
可万一拦不住……WhenMike Penceis hesitating, a telephonehit.
就在迈克·彭斯犹豫着的时候,一个电话打了过来。McCainalsowantsto persuadeanything, butsawPresidentto pick up the phone, thereforeshuts uppolitely.麦凯恩还想劝说些什么,但见总统拿起了电话,于是礼貌地闭上了嘴。Shakes the hand of telephoneto turn whiteslightly, the expression on Mike PencefaceYinclearuncertain.
握着电话的手微微发白,迈克·彭斯脸上的表情阴晴不定。
After putting down the telephone, hishandhas puton the telephonehas not moved out of the way, sits there speechlessfor a long time.
放下电话后,他的手一直搁在电话上没有挪开,坐在那里无言了许久。Long time, hisraise your headopens the mouthto say.
良久后,他抬起头开口道。„Lewis.”
“刘易斯。”Held the post ofPresidentChief of StaffLewisto stareslightly, returnedsaid.
担任总统幕僚长的刘易斯微微愣了下,回道。„...... Mr.President?”
“……总统先生?”„YouinformSecretary of State, Secretary of DefenseandFinance Minister...... alsoto have the US MilitaryChief of Staffjoint conferencepresident,”mentioned by nameprobably a 20name, Mike Pencestopped the moment, opens the mouthto sayslowly, „after onehour, hereholds the emergency meeting, allNational Securityboard membersmustarrive. Now, all of youfirstgo outlater.”
“你去通知国务卿、国防部长、财政部长……还有美军参谋长联席会议主席,”点名了大概二十个名字,迈克·彭斯停顿了片刻,缓缓开口道,“一小时后在这里召开紧急会议,所有国家安全委员会委员必须到场。现在,你们所有人先出去待一会儿。”Heardthese words, LewisandMcCainand otherexpression on the numerousWhite HouseAdvancedofficialfacechanges countenancein abundance, look at each other in blank dismay.
听到了这句话,刘易斯和麦凯恩等一众白宫高级官员脸上的表情纷纷动容,面面相觑。
The expressions on allfacesvary, is similar toat this momenttheircomplexmoods. A Lewisfacelooks atPresidentunbelievable, buton the face of McCainappearedwild with joy, butwas hiddenbehinda series ofpetty actionsquickly.
所有人脸上的表情各异,就如同此刻他们复杂的心情。刘易斯一脸难以置信地看着总统,而麦凯恩的脸上则是浮现了一丝狂喜,但很快被掩藏在了一系列小动作背后。United StatesNational Security the board memberis establishedin the Cold Warperiod, isNational Security CouncilchairmanbyPresident. Regularly the conferreeincludingVice-president, Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, Finance Minister and National Securityadviser. Andas the US MilitaryChief of Staffjoint conferencepresident of National Security Councillegalmilitary adviser, legalinformationadviserCIADirector. In addition the White HouseofficeandUnited StatesMinistry of Justiceis long, United StatesDepartment of Homeland Securitylongand otherimportant officials, regards the conferenceto discuss that the importance of content, byPresident I am consideredwhetherneedsto attend.美国国家安全委员会委员成立于冷战时期,由总统担任国安会主席。定期参加会议者包括副总统、国务卿、国防部长、财政部长和国家安全事务顾问。以及作为国安会法定军事顾问的美军参谋长联席会议主席,法定情报顾问cia局长。除此之外还有白宫办公厅主任、美国司法部长、美国国土安全部长等重要官员,视会议讨论内容的重要性,由总统本人斟酌是否需要出席。Onlyfromattending the rank of conference, is not difficultto seethisrank the importance of conference.
单是从出席会议者的级别,就不难看出这种级别的会议的重要性。Holds the conferencelikeprevioustimeurgently, is the 20year ago, thenPresidentnamedGeorge W. Bush. But shortly after the conferenceconvenes, the allied armies of United Statesleadershipthenleft forAfghan, firedwasted timefor a long timeAfghan War......
上一次像这样紧急召开会议,还是二十年前,当时的总统名叫小布.什。而会议召开后不久,美国主导的联军便开赴了阿富汗,打响了旷日已久的阿富汗战争……
The deep breath the one breath, Lewisnodsto say.
深呼吸了一口气,刘易斯点点头道。„Mythisgoes.”
“我这就去。”On the request of President, the person in conference roomleaves the tablein abundance.
应总统的要求,会议室内的人纷纷离席。
After the conference roomempties, the shoulder of Pencerelaxedslowly, does not haveanxiously the preparationnextconference, buttook out a fountain penfrom the bosom, looking at carefullywas very long.
等会议室空下来后,彭斯的肩膀缓缓松弛了下来,没有急着准备下一场会议,而是从怀中取出了一支钢笔,端详了很久。Somehow, before hesuddenly resounded the generalone and half months, political powerconnectiontime.
不知怎的,他突然响起了大概一个半月前,政权交接的时候。AsVice-president, healsoat the scene, rememberedthensituationat that timevaguely.
作为副总统,他当时也在现场,依稀记得当时的情形。NeverPresident, whenhas handed over the authority, canbe the feeling relievedexpression. Is similaris notthisnationalParamountthrone that shehands over, tois not the power that shegoesis not the benefit, butis a seriousburden.
从来没有一位总统,在交过权柄的时候,会是如释重负的表情。就仿佛她交出的不是这个国家至高无上的宝座,离她而去的不是权力也不是利益,而是一个沉重的包袱。Nowhesomewhatis suddenly clear.
现在他突然有些明白了。Orsomeregrets.
或者说有些后悔了。Whatshefacesis a lunatic, butnowthislunaticstoodinhisfront. Inhimalsowhenmustaddfuelto the stovehesitant, thatlunatichad guidedoutsidesparks (Mars) the stove......
她面对的是一个疯子,而现在这个疯子站在了他的面前。就在他还在犹豫要不要向炉子里添一把柴火的时候,那个疯子已经将火星引导了炉子外面……Howevernowregrets is also useless, moreoverpower that as iffrom the beginninghehas not chosen. PresidentdiedhadVice-president, after Vice-president, hadSenate Speaker...... fromWall Streetby„unification”starting fromthat moment, thiscountry'sbalance of powerstarted the imbalance, thesecapitaliststhoroughhave falleninsanely.
不过现在后悔也没用了,而且似乎从一开始他就没有选择的权力。总统死了有副总统,副总统之后还有参议长……从华尔街被“统一”的那一刻开始,这个国家的权力制衡就开始失衡了,那些资本家已经彻底疯掉了。Silentfor a long time, hepicks up the phone, broadcastslowly a number, hitto a familiarperson. Heneedsto consult the opinions of others now, althoughheis also clear, thisbigprobabilityis doingnotstudiously.
沉默了许久,他拿起电话,缓缓播出了一个号码,打给了一个熟悉的人。他现在需要咨询其他人的意见,虽然他也清楚,这大概率是在做无用功。
The telephonepassed.
电话通了。Unnecessaryexchanging greetings, Pencehad not reorganizedunder the mentalityin the brain, opens the mouthto sayslowly.
没有多余的寒暄,彭斯在脑中整理了下思路,缓缓开口道。„Before 20minute, inCaribbean Sea......”
“二十分钟前,在加勒比海……”
