115: "Only kangaroos have the right to claim sovereignty over me"

United States, Pentagon, high-level closed-door meeting.

Secretary Sevitz: “Just now, President Qiao Laxi has informed me that the matter of dealing with the Anti-War Army has been fully entrusted to our Department of Defense. What should we do next? All of you, give your opinions.”

Mitch, Secretary of the Army, made a decisive decision: “Since all heavy bombers have been returned to our country, let’s go directly to war.”

Savitz: “Ahem… Our country and the Anti-War Army have a three-month ceasefire period, and it hasn’t arrived yet.”

Mitch: “Just ignore that agreement. Find any reason to invalidate it.”

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Claire: “So the key is to find a reason to break the agreement. This reason must be justifiable and acceptable to the American people who are concerned about this matter, and to those anti-war people in Congress.”

Lorenz, Secretary of the Navy: “How about we use the Anti-War Army’s previous visit as an excuse and say that their visit violated the agreement?”

Savitz shook his head: “This matter happened half a month ago. It’s too late to use it as an excuse now.”

Fry, Secretary of the Air Force: “If there’s no reason, then we’ll just have to create one… How about we say that the bombers we received back were disassembled, that they were our assets, and the Anti-War Army stole our military technology from them and traded it with Dragon Country, thus violating the ceasefire agreement?”

Savitz: “That argument is indeed flawless… After all, it’s just a matter of words.”

“But this reason is also a bit late. If you really wanted to use this as an excuse, then we should have announced it after receiving those planes. Now that Dragon Country’s H-20 Bomber has come out, for you to say this now, it’s a bit like trying to extort us.”

Then, everyone further discussed various crooked ideas.

But Savitz listened, and none of the reasons were perfect enough.

This is no longer the era where the United States could casually take a small bottle of laundry detergent and accuse other countries of manufacturing weapons of mass destruction.

Savitz finally sighed and said: “I will carefully consider all the reasons you have proposed. Let’s adjourn the meeting for now.”

Savitz was cooped up in his office for a long time before finally coming up with a “solution.”

How about we “do this” first.

Savitz used his ministerial authority to open a military hotline with allied Australia…

One day later, a special visitor appeared at the Anti-War Army base.

That person first lingered in the MacDonnell Ranges and was apprehended by the Anti-War Army soldiers on patrol.

Then the person revealed his identity, stating that he was sent by the official Australia government and wanted to speak with the Anti-War Army leader.

Fang Le couldn’t be bothered to see that person, and didn’t even let him enter the MacDonnell Ranges, only communicating with him via remote connection.

That person stated that he was representing the official Australia government and demanding that the Anti-War Army withdraw from the MacDonnell Ranges.

Because the entire MacDonnell Ranges is Australia territory, and the Anti-War Army stationed itself in the MacDonnell Ranges without permission, it infringed upon Australia’s sovereignty.

These official words stunned Fang Le.

To be honest, it had been over two months since they started their rebellion, and they had been fighting a third country on Australia soil the whole time.

Australia itself, apart from Senator Pearson who was enthusiastic about mediation in the early days, had not made an appearance.

In fact, throughout and after the entire war, the official Australia government seemed to have been invisible.

But now, the official Australia government suddenly sent someone to drive out the Anti-War Army. What were they trying to do?

Fang Le ultimately only said one thing to that official Australia envoy:

“The only ones qualified to make me withdraw from the MacDonnell Ranges and make territorial claims against me are the Australians on this continent.”

“No other creature has this right.”

After sending the envoy away, Fang Le pondered for a long time.

He always felt that this envoy incident was just a pretext.

The American military would definitely have other follow-up moves.

Sure enough, just one day later, an explosive event suddenly emerged.
