Chapter 688: Intelligence Information (Part Two)

The president gazed at Jerry and all of the sudden, a stiff tension started to arise between the two. Not only them, but with the exposure of this secret mission, those members of the democratic forces suddenly became sensitive on this matter as well.

The ones who were most excited were actually the Republicans who had been in a rivalry with the Democrats all this time.

They felt that Jerry was too good at creating a scene.

But they liked it.

“Senator Jerry is right, there is a lack of consideration in this action.”

The president felt he was on the edge of the cliff.

He rejected the republican’s accusation on the spot and said with a strong attitude. “Now that it’s made public, let me be frank about the benefits involved. I must get my hands on the Land of Mercenaries!”

If the M Nation could really take over the Land of Mercenaries, then it would be a happy ending for all of them since they would benefit from the nation’s benefits. Although the two parties were in rivalry with each other for all these years, it was some rich people’s game in the end. If anyone could get the Land of Mercenaries, then all of them will benefit, with the only difference being who was going to get more pieces of the cake.

“Continue.” The opposing Republican gestured for the president to continue.

The president looked around at all the members and said resoundingly, “In terms of the first defeat, I admit that it was an oversight of the harsh climate and environment in the Land of Mercenaries. Gentlemen, what I want to say is that it is far more complex and dangerous than we thought, and the hardship the soldiers faced with the terrain and environment was no less difficult compared to the Vietnam war!”

Jerry snickered. “So you’re saying, the defeat was expected? Or that we were bound to lose in this war? If so, then why did you send the troops there to die? You’re not respecting their human rights!”

The president shouted out emotionally. “Those who achieve great things are not bound by small things! It should be clear to everyone sitting here how much we are willing to pay for crude oil! The M Nation exceeds and leads all other countries in every aspect, except for crude oil, which has been held back by the Middle East. Therefore, crude oil and mineral resources are a political mission for us. Even if I wasn’t the president this term, any of you would try to do something about it. Therefore, I don’t think anyone here would disagree with paying a little price in exchange for a justifiable reason to enter the Land of Mercenaries and station troops there. We can use this opportunity to take control of the situation in the Land of Mercenaries, to enter as peacekeeping troops for those natives who fear for the destruction of their homeland in this war.”

Everyone’s eyes brightened as they felt it was a good idea.

The peacekeeping force would be led by the UN Special Forces, with the responsibility of stopping the war and enforcing truce.

M Nation’s military presence would be rejected by other countries, but no one would object to having the peacekeeping force enter the war zone.

Jerry didn’t think that the president would have this quick of a response to save his position on the spot, and he felt like he lost the battle tonight.

When Jerry went back to his villa, he threw his jacket right onto the sofa and said to his assistant, “Get me an appointment with Mr. Stenson.”

“Okay, Senator.”

Stenson arrived at Jerry’s house in the evening.

Jerry drank a glass of red wine feeling defeated as he said, “I impeached the President today, but the guy sure is good at what he does. I don’t expect that he’ll lose his reputation to those capitalists for now.”

Stenson: “Tell me, what happened.”

After Jerry briefly told Stenson about what happened, he asked cautiously, “Has your boss gotten any intelligence information yet?”

Stenson smoked his cigarette silently; he was thinking and digesting the information Jerry had just told him.

After he pondered for a long time, he asked cautiously, “Mr. Jerry, have you joined any organizations before?”

Jerry shook his head. “I’m sorry, I don’t have that in mind at the moment.”

“Understood.” Stenson nodded and stood up. “Well, I’ll let you know if I get any more information.”

As Jerry walked Stenson to the door, he couldn’t help but ask, “Is your boss in this organization?”

“All organizations have confidentiality agreements, so sorry but I can’t say,” Stenson said to him.

“I get it.” Jerry nodded, but he felt that Stenson was being very mysterious and cautious about this organization, which made him a little curious of what exactly he was referring to.
