Chapter 354: Helplessness and Regret

"Mr. Josh, thank you, thank you very much. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Mr. Clark, thank you as well. Thanks to the help of both of them, Atlas will never forget any of the friends who helped us. ”

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

A large number of reporters have come to the White House one after another, and in the office of President Ulysses, Al Laine Atlas shook hands with the two giants of the Skull and Bones and thanked them in a very sincere tone.

U.S. President Ulysses.

U.S. Field Marshal Al Atlas.

Josh Morgan, patriarch of the Morgan family.

Clark Rockefeller, patriarch of the Rockefeller family.

Four people, four names, four identities, almost represent the pinnacle of American power.

It was a veritable meeting of giants.

"The general is polite, your presence makes everyone, including us, feel very safe, we believe that Atlas is a righteous family, we have an obligation to help, and this is all as it should be. ”

Josh smiled and shook Ellain's palm, and his smile looked like that.

The two giants of the Skull and Bones Club arrived at the White House ten minutes ago, and more than ten days ago, the Skull and Bones Society used its powerful wealth to directly set off a frenzy of public opinion in the country that Atlas would be the savior of the United States, and it was a great success, and now at the last moment, it is natural to come and check it in person.

Many of the media that came today are directly or indirectly controlled by the Skull and Bones Society, and the appearance of Josh and Clark can also make those media people understand the attitude of the Skull and Bones Society, so as to ensure the harmony and completion of this award ceremony, and there will be no too sharp voices.

As the most direct beneficiary of a series of events, it is naturally normal for Ellane to come forward to express his gratitude on behalf of himself and the Atlas family.

"Thank you very much Mr. Josh for his trust in Atlas, and I can promise that the Atlas family will definitely do their best to protect the United States and protect the lives of the American people. ”

Ellain nodded, speaking solemnly.

"Very well, I believe every word of General Ellain. ”

Josh shook Ellahn's palm again, turned his head to look at Clark, and smiled: "Clark, you can take General Ellahn to visit our media friends, and make a simple communication before the award ceremony, it will be much more convenient at that time." ”

"No problem. ”

Clark nodded, looked at Irlahn and smiled, "General, please." ”

"Before I came to the United States, I had heard of the tacit cooperation between the two, Mr. Josh commanded the Skull and Bones Society, and Mr. Clark executed incomparably, and the many previous collaborations between the two were breathtaking, and if there was a chance, Atlas would be willing to cooperate with the Skull and Bones Society in depth. ”

Ellain smiled and nodded, as if there was some emotion in his tone.

Ulysses, who was silently drinking coffee on the side, changed his expression slightly and did not speak.

Clark's expression did not change, and he simply nodded and said, "Please." ”

Al Lahn smiled and followed Clark shoulder to shoulder as he walked out of the president's office.

In the office, Josh looked at the back of the two of them leaving with a smile on his face, but his eyes were full of coldness.

"Our U.S. marshal is really scheming, and he wants to stir up the relationship between the three of us in a word, which is very interesting, isn't it?"

The office door is closed.

Josh was silent for a moment, then walked over to Ulysses and sat down, smiling.

Ulysses snorted softly, the meaning somewhat unclear.

Allahn's sentence just now, although it seems to be praise, actually quietly elevates Josh's position, saying that Clarke's execution is unparalleled, and the subtext is equivalent to saying that Rockefeller is equal to the younger brother of the Morgan family, although today's Skull and Bones Club is indeed dominated by the Morgan family, but Rockefeller is also one of the giants, maybe in Ellahn's mind, lowering the status of Rockefeller can plant a thorn between the two giants of the Skull and Bones Club?

Naive.

Josh shook his head slightly, his eyes a little disdainful.

Without entering the Skull and Bones Club, it is difficult for outsiders to understand the operation of the Skull and Bones Club, the two giants within the Skull and Bones Club, this generation is Morgan leading the Rockefeller, but for decades, the two families have always been in a state of close cooperation, and there has not even been a major conflict in the middle.

In the hundreds of years since the establishment of the Skull and Bones Society, Morgan and Rockefeller have led each other, and there is basically no-for-tat competition for power.

This world is very big, and their ambitions are also very big, so much so that over the years, they have continued to expand outward, fighting with the elite club, fighting with the Yanhuang club, advancing and retreating, so that they can't even think of going to infighting.

As for leadership?

As long as the skeleton will continue to grow stronger, there will be no such thing as leadership, whether it is the Morgan family or the Rockefeller family, will not care very much.

In other words, as the current leader of the Skull and Bones Society, Morgan naturally hopes that after him, his son Victor Morgan will continue to lead the Skull and Bones Society, but if Victor does not succeed and the Rockefeller family will lead the Morgan family in ten or twenty years, he will not mind too much.

This is the magnanimity and tolerance that a wealthy family that has been working with each other for hundreds of years should have.

It would be naΓ―ve for Ellaon to want to stir up a relationship between them.

Josh didn't worry about Clark's inner thoughts, the relationship between the two was unbreakable at all, and what he cared about was Ellain's last words.

Atlas' in-depth collaboration with the Skull and Bones Society.

One is the wealthy group that controls the wealth of the United States, and the other is the military that can now be said to be the supreme giant.

Such in-depth cooperation, in any country, is enough to deeply disturb those in power.

"How much control can you have over Atlas?"

In silence, Josh asked suddenly, his expression extremely serious.

If Ulysses could control Atlas, then Ellahn wouldn't have said that meaningful remark.

Josh didn't expect Ulysses to maintain 100% control over Atlas, but if he couldn't control it completely, then things were undoubtedly a bit serious.

Ulysses shook his head and remained silent.

"Don't tell me that you have no control over Atlas, that is, you have personally introduced the United States to a monster full of ambition and lust for power that you can't control, and worst of all, you give it a chance to do so. ”

Josh's eyes grew sharper.

"What can I do?! If I don't put Atlas in, can I just watch Lin Xuanyuan's miscellaneous pieces continue to kill? Who can stop him?

Ulysses said in an annoyed tone.

Josh's expression froze for a moment, and then his brows suddenly raised: "Is this your reason? That's right, now they may be able to stop Lin Xuanyuan, but how much crisis will an uncontrollable Atlas bring to the United States? Don't you know yourself?"

"I didn't expect that to be the case either. ”

Ulysses looked agitated with a hint of imperceptible regret.

He really didn't expect this.

A series of operations, it's just too fast.

In the country of capital ideas, how terrifying the power of money is, people who have not experienced it will not understand at all, the public opinion propaganda of the Skull and Bones Club can no longer even be described as vigorous and resolute, it is completely in one step, in one day, the whole United States is promoting the news that Atlas will become the savior of the United States, Congress reacted fiercely, opposed, hesitated, wait-and-see, supported, and so on, and then Lin Xuanyuan's actions looked completely like cooperating with Atlas, a military base a day, rivers of blood, and mourning all over the wilderness, this miserable scene shook all the American high-level and made them feel unprecedented pressure。

No one could stop Lin Xuanyuan.

Only Atlas!

In such a situation, the leader of the American hawks, the commander of the Central Command Department. Admiral Roderick Reckton, the patriarch of the Renekton family, directly expressed his support for Atlas's entry into the United States.

The hawks have always had a strong influence in the US military, and as soon as Roderick spoke, some people who were watching and hesitating finally began to waver, and the voices of support instantly exceeded the voices of opposition, and the jaw-dropping appointment of the five-star general was approved.

Subsequently, two of Atlas's super-elite units entered the United States, and that was the force that could surpass the American Dawn of Darkness in combat strength.

Subsequently, Admiral Roderick Renekton obeyed Atlas's words, and even personally came forward to fight for Atlas's ascension.

It wasn't until this moment that Ulysses suddenly discovered that even if Atlas could block Lin Xuanyuan, no one could stop Atlas now.

One Lin Xuanyuan has made the United States anxious, and now that the Atlas elite is exhausted, at the right time, once they want to do something, then no one can stop it!

Before that, Ulysses always thought that he could control Atlas to a certain extent, after all, it was an emerging giant, and they needed the support of the president and cooperated with each other, but now it is completely different, as long as the award ceremony passes, even if Ulysses does not support Atlas, with the support of hawks, Atlas can quickly gain a foothold in the United States.

This is what Ulysses regrets the most.

But so what?

Termination of the Investiture Ceremony?

Null and void all previous appointments to Atlas by the United States?

Now that the concept of a savior has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, it will take more than courage and courage to declare all appointments null and void at this time.

And at this time, the appointment was declared invalid, and Atlas's opinion was also asked.

Today's Atlas is absolutely amazing in the United States, a master who can compete with the emperor, a supreme who is worse than the emperor but stronger than Lin Xuanyuan, and a world-shaking master who can compete with Lin Xuanyuan.

Then there are more than a dozen X-level masters, as well as hundreds of super elites whose strength is between SS+ and SSS.

This force already has the confidence to argue with Ulysses even if he withdraws all his appointments.

And then there are the hawks.

No one knows what the relationship between the hawks and Atlas is, and if Ulysses declares the appointment invalid and the hawks are involved, it will be a complete storm, and even a civil war will be ushered in within the United States before the war even begins.

This is the end of the matter, whether it can be refunded!

Even if Ulysses didn't want to hold the ceremony, he had no choice now.

"Do you have any backup plans?" or any other ideas?"

Josh's expression grew serious.

If Ulysses really has nothing to do with Atlas, then not only the U.S. government, but even the status of the Skull and Bones Society will be seriously challenged.

With Josh's understanding of Ulysses, even if the other party hadn't prepared for this before, he should have a countermeasure now.

Atlas's eyes jumped, his eyes angry and helpless, he lit a cigar and took a big puff, his muffled voice sounding lifeless in the smoke.

"I sent someone to find Wang Fuyu, the king who is side by side, and I want to talk to the emperor again through him. ”

Ulysses clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and said calmly, "But he refused." ”

Josh raised an eyebrow, completely unaware of what Ulysses meant.

"That's what I thought of as a countermeasure, but I was rejected, so..."

Ulysses smiled bitterly, "I don't have any other way now." ”
