Chapter 588: Bomb
The press conference at the governor's mansion in Austin, the capital of Texas, was a far cry from the scene on Victory Square in Philadelphia, both in terms of momentum and scale, but the sensation between the two was inversely proportional. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Ulysses and Dabinite were all about bringing down the Hovington group, which was why they had a reception on Victory Square in Philadelphia, which was their purpose, and the reason why it was a sensation was nothing more than the public's desire to satisfy their curiosity and the attitude of the top government to the future war.
Under normal circumstances, such news is enough to make headlines, but it is only to attract extremely high attention, and it does not take too long, and the news of the entry of the Comoria family into the United States in half a month, a month, or even three days is enough to suppress the news of the resignation of Skarna and Tayllas.
At the end of the day, the press conference at Victory Square in Philadelphia was nothing more than Ulysses and Dabinite exploiting the anger of the American people to achieve their own political goals.
The press conference at the Austin Governor's Office, although small, completely detonated the American political arena, directly turning the American political circles, the military, Congress and even the judicial system upside down!
Big news!
Absolutely big news!
This was the first thought that popped into the mind of more than a dozen senior Texas reporters when they walked into the meeting room of the governor's mansion and saw Hovin.
Immediately, every reporter was trembling with excitement.
At the press conference in Victory Square in Philadelphia, there are hundreds of reporters, so many people, and it is estimated that it will take more than half a day for each person to ask a question and answer it, and it is naturally impossible for a press conference to be held for so long, so a considerable number of reporters in Victory Square in Philadelphia do not even have the opportunity to speak.
However, there are only about a dozen reporters who come to the governor's mansion, and such a wonderful interview environment can meet the demands of almost every reporter to speak their minds.
Of course, the quality of a press conference is not the environment in which the interviewee is interviewed, but the subject.
But Hovington!
The sudden appearance of this powerful governor who had been captured by the enemy in the governor's mansion in Austin was definitely super weighty, and if Hovington could say anything, his interview value was even higher than that of Ulysses and Dabinit.
Hovington took the initiative to call a press conference, and what he said must be heavyweight.
A near-perfect interview environment.
Near-perfect interview subject.
Although more than a dozen reporters regretted that it was not an exclusive interview, the environment was much happier than those of their counterparts on Victory Square in Philadelphia.
"Mr. Governor, it's a pleasure to meet you here, and I hope today's interview will be a success. β
In the living room, a middle-aged man who looked close to fifty years old forced himself to hold back his excitement, signaled the camera to point at Hovinton, and then took the initiative to smile and said, his name is Johnson, the chief reporter of the Texas Times, and now there are only more than ten reporters who come to the venue, but they only represent three extremely influential media, in other words, this interview will be completed by the leaders of the three media, and Johnson is the leader of the five reporters of the Texas Times.
As for the other two, one is Natural Media with enough influence in California, New Mexico, Arizona, and Idaho, and the other is Phoenix Media, which is unique in Louisiana, Florida, Georgia, Missouri, and Kansas.
California, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Idaho, Louisiana, Florida, Georgia, Missouri, Kansas...
These ten states have always been considered by the outside world to be the traditional sphere of influence of the Hovington group, at least, among these ten states, the power of the Hovington group is stronger than that of the Ulysses and Dabinite group.
Now that the Big Three media giants are at the Governor's House in Austin, there is no doubt that it was Scanner and Teglas who brought the Hovington Group together.
Now dozens of TV stations in 10 states are simultaneously broadcasting the news conference.
"I'm glad I can go back to the U.S., but I think some people will be upset when they know the news. β
Hovington smiled calmly, laughing heartily.
"Haha, I wonder who some of the people Mr. Governor is talking about?"
Johnson subconsciously snorted, he didn't expect Hovington to really say those people in his heart, but to his surprise, Hovington not only said, but also directly named him: "At the very least, I can be sure that President Ulysses and Congressman Dabinitt are very unwelcome for me to return to the United States, in their hearts, maybe it is more in their interests for me to die at the hands of the enemy, isn't it?"
β......β
Johnson opened his mouth, unable to utter a word for a long time.
The other reporters also looked like they had seen a ghost, looking at Hovington with a flat expression in amazement.
The other party's words are so straightforward, they are simply sensational!
What does he want to do?
Johnson's heart was beating wildly, he knew that today he was likely to interview the biggest news in his life, whether this news was good or bad for the United States He had no way to consider, after all, this was the news broadcast live on dozens of hundreds of TV stations in ten states, and it was impossible to stop it, and it was rare for Hovington to be so straightforward, as a reporter, Johnson naturally did not want to miss this opportunity, and in the blink of an eye, he had decided to dig deeper into some topics that might be interviewed.
"I know that you have a grudge against President Ulysses and Congressman Dabinit, who, as far as I know, have proposed your removal from office and made the decision to refuse to rescue you as soon as you were captured. β
Johnson spoke slowly word by word, but before he could finish his words, he was directly interrupted by an old reporter from Nature Media: "Not only that, but now there is an investigation team sent by President Ulysses and Congressman Dabinite in California, Governor Hovinton, is it because of this that you believe that they will not welcome you back to the United States?"
"That's not enough, is it?"
Hovington smiled and was silent, and he continued: "I know that in the eyes of many Americans, I am now a sinner who has lost American territory, not only me, but my old friend Teglas and Skarna are also sinners, but what I want to say now is some inside story of this war, which may be something that Ulysses and Dabinite do not want to hear. β
"Insider, what insider?"
Phoenix Media was personally led by the head of their information department this time, and it was the highest standard among the three media giants, and it was the most confident in speaking.
"There are too many insiders, for example, when I came to Texas from Philadelphia, it was completely unexpected, and I was not prepared at all. Another example is when I came to Texas, the war in the border town had already begun, and I completely lost contact with the commander of the other side, and when I arrived in the border town, the war was over, so I became a sinner for the loss of American territory before I met the American commander in the border town. β
"For example, at the moment of the end of the war, I received a call from President Ulysses, ordering me to take back the border town within twenty-four hours, and at that time, tens of thousands of American troops in El Paso had just withdrawn from the war in support of Juarez, and after the Third Field Army was completely destroyed, I could not mobilize troops in twenty-four hours in the vicinity of the border town, perhaps President Ulysses thought that I could conjure hundreds of thousands of millions of American troops out of thin air, so he completely ignored these problemsγ β
"So under the death order of President Ulysses, I could only mobilize the nearby American troops as quickly as possible, temporarily gathered a force of more than 30,000 people, and rushed straight to the border town without even having time to rest after their long-distance attack, only to encounter a large area of uncomplicated but extremely powerful traps outside the border town, and in that battle, I was captured, I don't want to explain anything, but I don't understand President Ulysses's order to take back the border town in twenty-four hours, even if he is an idiot, he can see that it is impossible for me to mobilize too many troops in twenty-four hours at that time, so I think, President Ulysses is not only an idiot, but also a blind man, and he is sending me and the US military nearby to death. β
In just a few words, it escalated to a personal attack, and the corners of the three media giants' mouths twitched, but they remained silent.
In this situation, they only need to let Hovington say it, and they don't need to ask anything.
"What makes me even more ridiculous is that after I was captured, my friend Scarner, after issuing a war mobilization order, once again received an idiotic order from President Ulysses to take back the border town in twenty-four hours, and forced him and Teglas to make a military order to take back the dark town in twenty-four hours, such a military order was completely forced, and everyone knew that Scana mobilized two Marine Divisions of the Marine Corps to support the border town, and it would take about a week, and if it was twenty-four hours, what did he do when he mobilized the Marine DivisionAnd how many troops can he muster in twenty-four hours?"
"The facts are obvious, he mobilized less than 60,000 troops, but the funny thing is that before the war began, his troops had civil strife at the instigation of well-intentioned people, and suffered heavy losses, tens of thousands of American troops had no desire to fight, and the final result was the annihilation of the whole army, and what I couldn't understand was that during the war, Skarna once called the head of the Hurricane Legion, and the lieutenant general said that they were still about 200 kilometers away from the border town, but after a few hours of war, the Hurricane Legion rushed to the battlefield with all their own personnel annihilated, did they fly overοΌβ
"I have definite evidence that the Hurricane Legion was less than ten kilometers away from the border town, but they allowed our troops to be slaughtered by that group of damned drug dealers, and deliberately did not come to their aid, these were the orders of President Ulysses?
"There are too many unreasonable things about these things, so I have reason to think that Ulysses and Dabinite are the culprits who caused the defeat of the war, they don't want to take back the border town at all, they do all this, they are all to hit me, to fight Skana, to fight Tegras, in order to achieve this goal, they even deliberately sent more than 100,000 American troops to death, and now, it seems that their goal has indeed been achieved, and all three of us are now sinners, aren't we?"
Amazed.
Everyone was stunned again.
No one expected Hovington to be so drastic, looking at this posture, he was completely planning to push Ulysses and Dabinite into the abyss, so that they would never recover!
"These... These... Is there any evidence for this?"
After a long time, Johnson asked in a dry tone, what Hovington said was too sensational, and if Hovington could really come up with evidence, he couldn't imagine what the United States would become.
"Evidence? Of course, and it's very important evidence, it's human witnesses. β
Hovington laughed: "Before the witness arrives, I still have a video here, maybe every American should look at it, see how disgusting and dirty our Mr. President, our Mr. Congressman, the day after I was captured, the investigation team sent by Ulysses and Dabinite to California was about to turn .* What's more, Ulysses and Dabinite want to take over my two daughters, want my two daughters to be their playthings, and in the face of all Americans, I want to mention the names Ulysses and Dabinite again, I have to say, these are two inhuman mongrels!"
When Hovington said this, he took out the disc and handed it to Johnson.
Johnson's hand as he took the CD trembled violently, where was this CD? What he was holding in his hand was clearly a bomb that could blow up the entire United States!
