DEFCON Year New Generation: Leigh Barton

Chapter 12

A few hours after everyone was in the briefing room at the base, which was built in the aftermath of World War III, which was finished thanks to Joe Biden getting reelected with support from Democrat voters and officials like Nancy Pelosi, Gavin Newsom and Corey Booker as well as moderate Republicans like Chris Vance, Tara Setmayer and Reed Galen to quote a few, all of whom campaigned for Biden and his successor, President Barnes.

But Leigh now had to brief the US Marines on China's failed attempts to influence the outcome of the 2024 and 2028 elections and its government's attempts to influence the future voting outcome of 2032. And Leigh had plenty of evidence for the upcoming briefing regarding the upcoming NEO from China.

As soon as she arrived in front of the US Marines, Leigh turned the projector on before starting the briefing.

"Alright, Marines. Let's get things straight. Our new operation isn't going to be a combat operation. It's gonna be a NOE operation. Any foreigner living in China as well as every tourist in the country have already been warned by many countries from the Allied side of World War III to leave China.

But this was just the start of the job. We need to finish the job, like we did in 2024 by voting and electing Joe Biden for President so that he could let the Allied command to lead the war effort while he was handling the domestic policy matters. But we need to finish the job by helping the civilians safely embark the buses before boarding the waiting C-130Js and C-17s from our Air Force. These planes have been joined by Australian, French, Canadian, Dutch, German, Czech, Indian, Singaporean, Jordanian, and Polish cargo planes.

Plus, those planes are accompanied by helicopters and infantry forces as well as commandos from said countries. They will help us escort and evacuate the civies.

Watch out however, we may have competent troops on our side, but we also may have corrupt soldiers and cops on the opposing side so watch out. President Biden and his successor incumbent President Barnes started a good job, but we have to finish the job by doing our duty." Leigh briefed the US Infantry Marines.

As everyone took mental notes of the details of the operation, Leigh explained to everyone the details of the operation, including an extraction to Poland, where Norrie Vastano and her Marines would be waiting for everyone to arrive in the cargo planes.

But Leigh also explained to the US Marines that they also had to be careful around Norrie Vastano and her troops, many of whom were seasoned veterans of World War III and fought on all major theaters of the war, finishing the job just as then-President Biden had promised to the whole American people.

And Leigh, Darnell, LaRue, Dunning, Tores and Marquez also knew that Norrie Vastano's Marine unit, the Bobcats, were well-known for their military effectiveness and their fiercy fighting spirit on the battlefield, even if they did treat prisoners and civilians in strict accordance with the Geneva Convention. This also frightened the Marines in the briefing room, knowing Norrie Vastano's platoon were not just fierce in battle and effective, but also lacked any formal clothing discipline and also were well-known for their lack of manners, even if Vastano and the Bobcats were very decent and honest individuals who had finished the job like President Biden did upon his reelection in 2024 until January 20th 2029.

All of them knew of Norrie Vastano and her Bobcats' military reputation as well as their social awkwardness. Nonetheless, Leigh and her squad knew they had to cooperate with the Bobcats, meaning the squad would have to board the last plane leaving China.
