Chapter 559: Sky-mending Plan_2

The United States needs an enemy, and more importantly, someone to take the blame for Ben's collapse.

Gao Yi thought for a moment and said, "The nuke came from Russia, but what do you think about Chao Bei?"

"Is that possible?"

"Not only possible, but it'll definitely pull them in."

Panetta pondered briefly and said, "Ben was attacked, it's a national disaster-level event, the financial sector will collapse, the industrial system will suffer irreparable damage in a short time. If we plan ahead, we'll reap astronomical gains quickly from Ben's catastrophe. Meanwhile, with the rising tensions, the Pentagon will increase troop deployments in Ben, leveraging the pretext of preparation for war to secure more military funding. Once we gain the support of Wall Street and the military, all that's left is the President's tacit approval. Is that your plan?"

Before he opened his mouth, Gao Yi didn't know if he had a plan, so this roadmap was filled in entirely by Panetta himself.
