He took a deep breath and tried to suppress the anger in his heart, but his tone was still cold and piercing: "I don't care whose orders you obey this time."
"But, you lost this opportunity, do you know what this means?"
"Our opponents are now alert. Their defense systems are fully activated, fighter jets are circling in the sky, and troops are deployed along the border. We have lost our best opportunity and may even trigger an all-out war!"
Kevin lowered his head and said in an almost inaudible voice, "Mr. President, I am willing to take full responsibility."
"responsibility?"
Bei Jing sneered, turned around, stared at Kevin intently, and said, "Do you think taking responsibility can save the situation?"
"Right now, the situation in the entire Middle East is out of control. Our allies are questioning our capabilities, and our enemies are watching us covetously. Can you afford such consequences?"
The office fell into deathly silence, with only the ticking of the clock on the wall reminding the passage of time.
Bei Jing walked up to Kevin and said in a low but intimidating voice, "From now on, you are relieved of all duties and await your fate after this is over."
Kevin refused to give in and argued, "Mr. President, I was following orders from the Guggenheim family in the military. As for sinking several Miracle Group freighters, it was also at the request of Danil Guggenheim."
"Is it wrong for me to follow orders from my superiors?"
Menahmu Baijing looked at him like a fool, shook her head and said, "You are not wrong, but your mistake is the time to stand in line."
"Although the Guggenheim family has a certain say in the Israeli military, they can hardly protect themselves after causing such a huge disaster this time. They will only try to distance themselves from the matter and protect themselves."
"So, you think they'll come forward and help you?"
Kevin's throat seemed to be blocked by something and he couldn't make a sound. He turned and left the office with heavy and slow steps.
Menahmu Baijing looked at Kevin's departing back, sighed, and then picked up the desk phone.
"Convene a cabinet meeting immediately. We need to re-strategize. Time is running out. We must find a new breakthrough before the situation gets completely out of control."
"At the same time, we must urgently investigate which country is targeting our fighter jets. We must retaliate."
"Yes, Mr. President."
He sat back in his chair and looked out the window again, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
The other side.
Located in the Guggenheim family estate in the central area of Israel.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the ancient stone walls, casting a golden-red glow. The manor was quiet and solemn, but at this moment, the atmosphere in the study was extremely tense.
Daniel Guggenheim pushed open the heavy oak door and walked quickly into the study with a hint of impatience on his face.
"Father, what do you want from me all of a sudden?"
Old Guggenheim was standing in front of the desk, his back to the door, his hands behind his back. When he heard his son's voice, he slowly turned around, his face terribly gloomy.
His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, staring straight at Danni'er, and his voice was low and cold.
"Humph! Brat, who told you to go with the navy?"
Dannier was stunned for a moment, then shrugged his shoulders and said with a hint of disdain in his tone: "I just want to do something for the family and gain some experience. What's the problem with that?"
"What's the problem?"
Old Guggenheim slammed the table and raised his voice so sharply that the air in the study trembled.
"Do you know that your reckless action this time has brought disaster to the family?"
Dannier was startled by his father's anger, but he still pretended to be calm, frowned and asked, "Father, what happened?
"I was just participating in an ordinary military operation. How could my family be involved?"
Old Guggenheim took a deep breath, trying to suppress his inner anger and said, "Your grandfather just sent me the news that this action has completely exposed the military operation that has been prepared for many years."
"Originally, we could control everything from the shadows, but now, all our plans have been disrupted!"
"It may even trigger a full-scale war in the entire Middle East!"
Dannier's face changed, and he felt a little uneasy. "Father, what does this have to do with me?"
"This time I was just following the navy's actions and did not participate in the core decision-making."
"What's the relationship?"
Old Guggenheim slammed his palm on the table, shaking the papers so that they jumped up.
His roar echoed in the study, as if it was going to blow the roof off. "It's all because of you, kid! You rashly followed the navy this time and dragged your entire family into this!"
"Do you know that our original plan was flawless? Kevin was just a pawn of ours. If anything goes wrong, he will naturally bear all the responsibility. Our family can completely stay out of it and refuse to admit it!"
He gasped, his eyes as sharp as a knife, piercing Danil: "But what about now? You are in the fleet, and everyone knows that you are from the Guggenheim family!"
"So, your existence indirectly represents the family's position!"
"You think you're just going there to 'gain experience'? You're actually handing a knife to the enemy, giving them the opportunity to turn their spearheads directly on your grandfather and us!"
Dannier was frightened by his father's anger, his face turned pale as paper, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.
He opened his mouth, but found that he had no way to defend himself. He could only murmur in a low voice: "Father, I... I really didn't expect it to be like this..."
"Unexpectedly?"
Old Guggenheim sneered, his tone filled with sarcasm and disappointment. "How many times have I taught you since you were little? Every move our family makes must be cautious. We absolutely cannot let anyone get a hold of us!"
"But you?"
"You only care about your own ridiculous vanity and hatred, and completely disregard the safety of your family!"
Dannier lowered his head in shame, not daring to look up at his father.
Old Guggenheim turned around disappointedly, with his back to Danil, and said with a hint of fatigue in his voice: "From now on, you must not leave the manor."
"At the same time, you are prohibited from participating in any family affairs. This is also an explanation to the rest of the family."
"If it happens again, the family will no longer cover for you. Do you understand?"
Danil nodded, his voice hoarse and low: "I understand, father."
Old Guggenheim waved his hand and motioned him to leave.
In the study, after Danil left, old Guggenheim sat back in his chair, closed his eyes and frowned.
He could only pray in his heart that this crisis would be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise, the Guggenheim family's foundation built over the years might completely collapse because of a small mistake.
at the same time.
Regarding the fuse of this incident, all parties are investigating which two forces launched an air battle with the Israeli Air Force over the Mediterranean Sea.
