Chapter 374: Meeting
In the night, Ulysses, who had really been busy all day, and it could be said that he was in a state of nervous tension at every moment, stood up and stretched, and let out a long breath.
Most of the staff in the White House have left work, Ulysses looked at his watch, ready to end today's work, before this series of events, he has always been a capable president in the eyes of Americans, but not a hard-working leader, Ulysses has worked overtime during his term of office is extremely rare, he has been trying to finish today's work, put off until the end of work to continue to be busy? In his opinion, this is not hard work, this is standard incompetence.
Finish the day, recuperate, and then meet tomorrow, whatever happens tomorrow, at least for now, he doesn't have to think about it.
Ulysses pursed his lips and looked out the window, relaxing for about ten minutes before turning around and leaving the office.
"Bang!"
The door to the office was slammed open from the outside.
It's to pounce, not push, the person who came seemed to have used all his strength, and pounced directly, the office door opened instantly, and the momentum sank, Ulysses, who was just about to go out, was startled, and subconsciously avoided, and the whistling door panel almost hit his nose.
Ulysiston was annoyed for a while, looked at the person viciously, and after seeing who the other party was, he took a deep breath and suppressed his anger, but his tone was still unpleasant: "Joseph, what happened?
"Me"
Vice President Joseph, who staggered in, gasped for breath, and all the urgent news was jammed under the reprimand of Ulysses, which made his brain a little short-circuited, and for a while he had a kind of doubt, 'What am I doing?'
Then the next second, Joseph suddenly came to his senses.
He dragged Ulysses' hand and dragged him to the sofa, although the two were superiors and subordinates, but friends and confidants for many years, now alone, there were not so many rules, Ulysses was helplessly dragged to sit down, smiled bitterly, lit a cigarette, and thought that it would definitely not be clean tonight.
Without saying a word, Joseph turned on the big screen in the president's office and adjusted a channel at random.
The channel is an impromptu break in the breaking news.
Ulysses glanced at the picture, stunned for a moment, and then stood up suddenly, his voice subconsciously raised: "What's going on?!"
On the screen, the gunshots are endless, bullets are flying, the fire is continuous, and the flesh and blood are flying
This is not at all a small number of super elite sneak attack on a large number of US troops, this is completely a large-scale war.
Ulysses' brain was dizzy, his body shook, he struggled to hold on to the armrest of the couch, let himself fall on the couch, and asked again, "What the is going on?!"
"It's war!"
Joseph was not angry, and was a little angry: "Those damn damn yellow-skinned monkeys all came out at once, I don't know who provided them with a lot of arms, they are fighting back! This is a counterattack, it is their revenge war, the surviving Chinese in the major cities of the United States today are all gathered together, they don't know where to get a large amount of arms, with those weapons, they rush to the streets of the city and shoot American citizens unscrupulously, San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, these three places, a large number of Chinese have even begun to fight with our army, they are all like crazy, not afraid of death, not afraid of pain, like robots, our army can't even stop it! Can't stop it, you know? This group of damn Chinese, even now even Washington Don has something like that, I have started to send troops to suppress it, but that group of mongrels don't know how to retreat, they don't have any reason, they only know how to shoot with guns, damn, I won't be surprised even if there are Chinese people storming the White House in a while!"
The corners of Ulysses' mouth twitched, and he was also anxious for a while, this was a situation he didn't expect.
The Chinese counterattacked
If this matter was not promoted by the Shenzhou Empire behind the scenes, he would not believe it, and if nothing else, let's just say where the large number of Chinese people got the arms from in the first place?
This incident speaks volumes.
But what's the use of that?
Now in several cities, the Chinese have begun to fight with the army, and the United States has preceded the massacre of Chinese, so it is easy to give the international community the impression that the American army also joined in the massacre of the Chinese.
And after this incident, the Divine Empire must have more to say.
Ulysses took out his mobile phone and was already waiting for a call from the Divine Empire.
This news, he didn't believe that the Shenzhou Empire would be too slow, and he would definitely receive the news as soon as possible.
"This matter is not easy to handle. ”
Ulysses said in a deep voice, frowning.
"It's not a difficult question to deal with, it's a question of whether we can deal with it, and in less than half an hour, I've received countless phone calls, and Congress has convened an emergency meeting, and all the parliamentarians, military generals, have already begun to move, and they ask you to rush to the Capitol immediately and explain in detail what happened today. ”
Joseph said with a wry smile.
"The Capitol?"
Ulysses sneered, narrowed his eyes, and said coldly: "I'm really looking for opportunities, this timing is simply perfect." ”
"To go or not?"
Joseph asked, a little worried.
"Can't help but go. ”
Ulysses stood up, lit a cigar, and said viciously, "Go now!"
Twenty minutes later.
The Capitol.
The highest meeting room.
U.S. President Ulysses, Vice President, and Interim Secretary of Defense Joseph pushed open the door of the conference room.
Nearly half of the seats in the conference room were already filled, and on the remaining empty seats, there was also a laptop, and the person who appeared on the computer screen at this time was undoubtedly not a powerful member of the US military and political circles.
In the conference room, in the video, almost the most powerful group of people in the United States were completely gathered.
Ulysses looked grim and glanced around, with a sneer in his eyes.
Some of these people in front of him were promoted by themselves, some were opponents, and a few, even political enemies with personal grudges, but what surprised him the most was that none of the candidates who were the most promising candidates to become the new president of the United States after him attended the meeting, but it was clear that they also sent representatives.
It's really calm.
Ulysses narrowed his eyes and strode into the conference room.
Everyone stood up to greet them.
In any case, Ulysses is still the president of the United States, and the most basic etiquette still needs to be observed.
"Sit down, everybody. ”
Ulysses waved his hand casually, deliberately looked at the watch on his wrist, and said flatly: "It's time to get off work, I don't understand, why this meeting was suddenly held, if you all have time, then there are so many things in the United States today, you can completely let your energy be brought into play, after all, you all know, too many things have happened today, this time, this situation, I really don't think we have the need to have a meeting, there is no time, and there is no point." ”
"Mr. President"
Seeing Ulysses sitting on the main seat of the conference room, an old four-star general stood up and said with a serious expression: "In fact, the purpose of our meeting today is to do too many things in your mouth, obviously, a lot of things happened today, and they are all things that are not good for us, everyone is very uneasy, and the people of the United States are struggling between life and death, for a series of things that happened today, we think it is necessary for you to give everyone and the United States an explanation." ”
"Explain?"
Ulysses glanced at the four-star general, and couldn't help but feel a tingle in his heart, Admiral Daniel Alexander, director of the U.S. National Guard, the matter of his promotion from lieutenant general to general was brought up by Ulysses himself, from major general to lieutenant general, that is to say, Daniel Alexander was completely one of the closest confidants to him before, but after the terrorist attack, the general, who had expressed his loyalty to the president countless times in public or private, quickly threw himself into the arms of a strong presidential candidate, and tonight, among all of them, he was the first to shoot at himself.
Is this a vote?
This is dirty politics.
Ulysses laughed at himself in his heart, and said lightly: "Admiral Daniel, if you need to explain, then it should not be explained by me, but by the enemy, and it is right to find the Shenzhou Empire to explain, I can't explain anything, the only thing I can do is to destroy the enemy." ”
"Destroy the enemy?"
Another middle-aged man stood up and asked with a sharp look in his eyes: "Mr. President, as far as I know, the results of our current destruction of the enemy are not very ideal, on the contrary, a small group of enemies has inflicted huge losses on us, of course, I believe that our country and army can destroy the enemy, but before we can destroy the enemy, what price do we need to pay? Millions of civilians and troops have died? Countless military bases have been destroyed? Countless cities have been bombed?" I don't see any point in such an annihilation, the enemy is nothing more than a small army of about a hundred people, but it has inflicted such huge losses on us, to put it mildly, President Ulysses, this is your dereliction of duty!"
Frank Brooks, a veteran U.S. congressman, is now the number one lackey of a presidential contender, and now that the contender is not here, he is undoubtedly the representative sent by the other side.
"Dereliction of duty, I'm sorry, what I want to say is that this is the strength of the enemy, everyone, although the number of enemies is small, but it is a real super elite force, and it is also led by the royal god of war Wang Lin Xuanyuan himself, and there are at least two X-level masters, their destructive power is very powerful, for the huge loss, I am deeply heartbroken, but I must say that these prices are what we must pay!"
Ulysses said calmly.
"What we could have done without paying a price was the stupid decision of some people that led to the war!"
Another four-star general sneered and said, the stupid decision of some people, who this certain person is talking about, it is self-evident.
"I did provoke the war, but I don't think my decision was stupid, I am the president of the United States, and the United States is the number one power in the world, the United States cannot be humiliated, and anyone or country who dares to provoke and insult the United States must pay the price!"
Ulysses said with a cold expression.
"But now are we paying the price, or are we paying the price!Ulysses, the price you make the other side pay is a joke in comparison, and now that the enemy is wantonly killing our soldiers and civilians, what are you going to do to make the other side pay?!"
The Admiral roared.
Admiral Charles Roclery, commander of the U.S. Cyber Command, is famously hot-tempered, and he was at odds with Ulysses, and now he is even more unceremonious when he speaks.
"War!"
Ulysses replied to Admiral Charles's question sonorously: " Only war can make the other party pay enough price, everyone, I have found a strong person who can fight against Lin Xuanyuan, and even against the emperor, Lin Xuanyuan's sabotage will be stopped soon, I will meet with the leaders of the Philippines, Vietnam, India, Japan, and other countries tomorrow, we should start acting, the Shenzhou Empire wants war, we will give them war, I can assure you that everything that the United States has lost today will be taken back from the Shenzhou Empire immediately!"
Everyone fell silent.
Ulysses took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, we have no way out, war is imperative, I hope that after everything is over, I can hand over a still strong America to my successor, instead of handing them a mess." ”
He stood up and said lightly: "Okay, this is the end of the meeting, everyone, goodbye." ”
