Chapter 32: Fear (asking for monthly flower tickets)
His frustration can be imagined. The key is that he can’t afford to offend anyone.
What he said just now was more like impotent rage.
Revenge? Revenge on whom? Revenge on the various forces that put pressure on him and proposed a multinational joint exercise plan at sea? Among them is his financial backer? Revenge together?
Let’s not talk about whether he has the ability or not. Even if he has it, in the rules of the political game, if the benefits and costs are not proportional, then everything is wrong. An excellent political animal has long abandoned some so-called anger.
Revenge on the ruler of Madripoor who created this incident?
The identity of that person is still unclear. The CIA, FBI and other intelligence agencies have mobilized all their forces, but they can’t find any clues. In fact, what can they do even if they find out?
Just a test, in exchange for the destruction of 25,000 soldiers and officers and two aircraft carrier battle groups.
And it directly turned hundreds of miles of sea into another small Arctic.
When the incident happened, there was not even a little communication. The communication was cut off, and the whole place was destroyed in a short time. There was no survivor. Is this something a human can do?
Even Magneto, who was previously known as the world’s most terrible terrorist, would not be so desperate.
Although Magneto is strong, they can at least see the hope of defeating him. The other party also has weaknesses and constraints. What about this one? Nothing is known.
The unknown is the most frightening and terrifying.
Who knows if this is the tip of the iceberg of the other party? If you really anger that terrible guy and kill him directly to the White House, who can stop him?
Not only the president, but all the senior officials present fell silent.
When the Madripoor incident happened, they knew that the information summarized clearly stated that the mysterious man was more dangerous than Magneto, but they were self-righteous and arrogant, or the people behind them, and they wanted to test it through some means under the rules.
As a result, they didn’t expect the other party to directly overturn the table and play an open card.
This massacre may just be a warning. Who can guarantee that there will be no large-scale retaliatory action next time?
Didn’t you see that one hour after the joint exercise fleet in the Strait of Malacca was completely wiped out, all kinds of sanctions against Madripoor were quietly lifted around the world?
Obviously, the people behind it are also scared.
For a long time.
The president turned around and said tiredly: “Hold a press conference. I will be responsible for this incident. In addition, we must suppress the negative impact of this incident and divert the public’s attention. We need to prove to the world through other places that the United States is still the strongest country in the world.”
The president is not short of political acumen. This time, the negative impact cannot be eliminated through direct retaliation, so it can only be diverted, which is also the most common method.
The other senior officials also tacitly agreed.
As for who the target of the demonstration is, it is not easy to find? There are a lot of people in the Middle East. Anyway, anti-terrorism operations areThey should not be too good at planning.
“In addition, completely cancel the sanctions against the port of Madripoor and send someone to visit Madripoor in the name of cooperation.”
In fact, it is better for the president to visit, but the president is so scared when he thinks about the person who slaughtered 25,000 soldiers and officers without scruples. If he goes, he will be caught and hanged in front of the whole world, and then he will be remembered for thousands of years.
The president has no doubt that the other party dares to do so.
Soon, in the office, the president and the senior military and political leaders reached a tacit understanding as spokespersons. The president, as the general person in charge, is responsible for this incident and is about to step down to eliminate the impact. As for whether the anger over there can be calmed down and what price needs to be paid, that is a later story.
The president’s sacrifice, family, and family members will get the treatment they deserve and regain political capital.
The secret deal is always so ugly.
The president is also very clear, but under this set of political game rules, he has no choice, especially when he sits in this position.
Soon, at the president’s instruction, a press conference was held, defining this incident as a rare meteorological disaster that occurs once in a thousand years. Regardless of whether the public believes it or not, the official will directly define it.
The president will also be responsible for this.
The president was in tears, mourning the death of the 25,500 soldiers and officers, and claimed that he would mobilize rescue forces at all costs to break the ice in the hundreds of kilometers of sea area, and would never let the cold current affect the world, etc.
The main theme is a sincere, world power leader.
In addition, a large number of so-called experts from various news TV stations stood up and conducted a set of simulation exercises, using extremely “professional” rhetoric to simulate the glaciation of the waters near the Strait of Malacca in a short period of time, etc., in an attempt to make the public believe it.
In the home of Li Ang in the small town.
“What nonsense.” Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Li Xiang ate an apple while looking at the so-called experts on the TV in front of him with disdain.
On the second floor stairs, Amy, the mother, had just coaxed the two little babies to sleep, and came down to sit next to her husband, with her head on her shoulder, staring at the TV in a trance.
As Li Ang’s parents, they knew very well what kind of earth-shaking career their son had done.
Both were proud of their son, but they were still a little worried at this moment.
It seemed that their eldest son had too much killing intention.
It was okay that hundreds of thousands of people in Madripoor were burned to ashes, after all, they were all criminals with serious sins, but these 25,000 soldiers were not all sinners.
Amy expressed her inner worries, but Li Xiang looked at his wife seriously: “Li Ang’s future is unimaginable, he will go on the road to becoming a god.”
“God can have mercy on the world and bring peace and tranquility to those people, but at the same time, he is also sacred and inviolable. Li Ang knows what he is doing, and we give him support and reason.”Solve it, dear. ”
Amy thought about it, yes, she knew her son’s character very well, she just needed to know that Li Ang would never degenerate into a devil.
Besides, if she didn’t support her son, would she support someone who had nothing to do with her?
