Building a Business Empire with my Technological System

Chapter 308: United States is Cooking
The Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff Reginald Thornton stepped forward and began explaining the Operation Falling Dragon.

”Operation Falling Dragon is the war plan we have developed in the Pentagon for a regime change in China. We are going to use the disputed Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands as our base of operations. With the cooperation of Japan, a Japanese submarine will covertly attack a Japanese patrol craft near the disputed island. Japan will then blame China for the attack, effectively triggering a war.”

President Thomas Greene listened intently, his expression serious. Thornton continued, outlining the strategy in detail.

”Once the incident occurs, Japan will immediately mobilize its forces and publicly accuse China of aggression. The United States will support Japan through our satellite surveillance and air forces, ensuring that Japan achieves air dominance over the disputed region.

Our advanced satellite systems will provide real-time intelligence and targeting information to Japanese forces, giving them a significant advantage.”

Thornton paused for a moment, letting the gravity of the plan sink in before proceeding.

”The ultimate goal of Operation Falling Dragon is to destabilize the Chinese regime by forcing them into a military confrontation they are not fully prepared for. The rapid escalation will put immense pressure on the Chinese government, both domestically and internationally. Our analysts believe that this pressure could lead to internal dissent and possibly even a regime change.”

One of the senior advisors in the room, General Marcus Adams, interjected. ”Mr. President, the reason why this plan was devised is due to the increasing threat posed by the rise of China. Their rapid economic growth and military advancements are projected to surpass the United States within the next decade.

If we are to engage in a conflict, it’s strategically advantageous to do so now, while we still hold the upper hand.”

President Greene nodded slowly, absorbing the information. ”And what are the potential risks of this operation? How do we mitigate the chances of this escalating into a full-scale global conflict?”

Thornton addressed the concern with a measured response. ”The primary risk is the possibility of escalation beyond the regional conflict we aim to contain. To mitigate this, we have diplomatic channels prepared to manage the international response. We will work closely with our allies, ensuring they understand the narrative and support our actions.

Additionally, our cyber warfare capabilities will be employed to disrupt Chinese communications and logistics, further hampering their ability to coordinate a large-scale response.”

With that, the meeting adjourned, and the advisors and military officials filed out of the room. The wheels of Operation Falling Dragon were now in motion, and there was no turning back.

As the last of the officials left, President Greene remained seated, lost in thought. The enormity of the decision weighed heavily on him. He knew that even the best-laid plans could go awry, and the consequences of this operation were too significant to ignore. He needed this to succeed, not just for his presidency, but for the future of the

nation.

Thornton, noticing the president’s contemplative state, approached him. ”Mr. President, I assure you, every precaution has been taken.”

Greene looked up, nodding. ”I trust your judgment, Thornton. But remember, the world is watching, and history will judge us by the decisions we make today.”

Thornton saluted and exited the room, leaving Greene alone with his thoughts.

Then moments later, CIA Director Turner arrived at the Oval Office.

”Mr. President, can I have a word with you?”

”Sure what is it?” Thomas prompted her to continue.

”Mr. President, in this upcoming operation which I was already briefed on, I’m thinking of getting one person into this plan that I believe would be invaluable.”

”Okay...who is it?”

”Michael Reyes, CEO of the Reyes Corporation,” Turner declared.
