This is just the beginning, just like a movement, once it is moved, it is not so easy to want to end.

On the 27th, at least most people demanded the release of Chen Kangjie, but as the government's crackdown progressed, the meaning was different, and by the 28th, there were not many people collectively demanding the release of Chen Kangjie, and many cities in the United States were caught in chaos, and people pointed the finger at the government and the president.

The United States is a country where gun ownership is legal, and the vast majority of households have guns, and in the United States, whether it is a rifle or a pistol, on average, one person can get one.

In normal times, under normal control, I don't feel anything, but in this chaos, it's not like that.

On the whole, the clash on the 27th was still a big loss to the demonstrators, and the thinking of young people was very simple, and if they suffered a loss, they had to find the field, so on the 28th, a large number of guns appeared on the streets, and the urban area of Los Angeles shouted one after another, and at the beginning the military and police suffered heavy losses, and three policemen and five soldiers were shot down at the door of the U.Scourthouse alone, and when they were sent to the hospital, four people had died, and only three people were saved.

Whether in self-defence or in a fit of rage, the unauthorised military police began to use thermal weapons on a certain scale to retaliate.

At this time, Va1ve did not open a cs game, but the real version of the game has been launched in Los Angeles and many cities in advance, and the modern city has instantly become a venue for guerrilla warfare and street fighting, and the entire social environment has become a rumor, everyone is in danger, and I can't tell when I will be hit by a bullet that comes out of nowhere.

At this time, the federal government, led by President kLd, finally felt that something was wrong and was in a hurry.

There is no way they are not in a hurry, this kind of social chaos, economic downturn in the history of the United States, has not appeared for a long, long time, on the 28th, the nationwide shooting incident led to 1oo2 deaths, the number of injured reached 2o98, which is greater than the loss of a war, the New York stock market fell by 4.7 percent, and the approval rating of President kLd was even lower to the lowest point since he was elected president, less than 35 percent.

Whether it is for himself or for the country, the president of kLd must immediately come up with a workable solution, and now not only has the public's approval rating for him decreased, but the congressional criticism of him has increased in waves, and the senators and the House of Representatives have set up independent commissions of inquiry, which has put kLd into a very passive position.

On the evening of the 28th, kLd convened an emergency cabinet meeting at the White House, attended by the vice president, the secretary of defense, the secretary of justice, the secretary of state, the secretary of the interior, the secretary of transportation, the secretary of education, and the secretary of labor, as well as the assistant to the president for national security affairs, the directors of the FBI, and the CIA.

"Now the situation is extremely urgent, this meeting, we must come up with a feasible solution, otherwise, I don't know what our country will become tomorrow. Everyone sat down, and President kLd, who was not in good spirits, stood at the top of the conference room, propped his palms on the edge of the brown-red conference table, leaned forward, and a pair of blue eyes flashed with a deplorable light, and he glanced at the cabinet ministers and said deeply.

The cabinet members sitting on both sides of the conference table have complicated expressions, all of them are usually big people with hands and eyes, sitting quietly at this time, looking at each other, some of them bowed their heads, as if they were counting the lines on the table, the Minister of Education and the Minister of Labor, who are not directly responsible, are slightly better, and the most stressful is the Minister of Justice, who feels like he is sitting on pins and needles here today, and the most relaxed person is the Minister of the Interior, who intends to attend the meeting today with only his ears.

Dick Smith, the director of the FBI, who was attending the meeting, crossed his hands and stared down at his leather shoes, as if his black leather shoes had patterns, but in fact he did not dare to look at the president, and if he was held responsible, he would be the largest of these people in the room.

"Mr. President, for the sake of today's plan, what we want is to quickly issue orders, so that the garrisons in various places can immediately participate in the maintenance of local law and order, and for cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, etc., special treatment is also needed, and we can draw more Navy 6 Squadrons from Pearl Harbor and other places," Defense Secretary Bieber, who was on the left hand side of the president, saw that everyone was silent, and he was the first to speak after a moment of silence.

"Blind repression is not very wise, and that does not solve the problem fundamentally, only to target the root cause of the problem, at present, many of our embassies and consulates abroad have been affected by the protests of the local people, which is extremely detrimental to the spread of the image of the United States around the world, this morning, the foreign minister of China called me again, expressing their concern about the incident," said Secretary of State Kate Hinta, who was sitting on the right vice president, looking at the president.

"At present, our pressure is not from the outside, but from the country, two consecutive days of protests and demonstrations have been obviously out of control, resulting in a large number of casualties and property losses, affected by this, China's financial industry has suffered heavy losses, investors have withdrawn, this morning, the group of financiers in New York complained to me again, and several major high-tech enterprises have expressed dissatisfaction, which is a huge damage to our economy", the vice president gently tapped the table with his right hand, and said unhurriedly.

"I already know that," said President kLd, who nodded and sat down in his black chair.

Then the Minister of Education and the Minister of Transport reported on the situation of their own departments, in terms of transportation, the problems are not big, mainly in the urban areas of large cities have been affected, interstate highways and railways have basically remained normal, as for civil aviation, affected by violent conflicts, the number of passengers has dropped sharply, and the problems in education are much stricter, more than half of the universities and middle schools are not involved in it, some schools have directly gone on strike, and some have directly participated in demonstrations and even violent confrontations, and the order of schools across the country has been severely challenged。

"Minister of the Interior, you don't have anything to offer. Among the cabinet officials present, only the Minister of Justice and the Minister of the Interior had not yet spoken, and President kLd looked at them for a while, he originally wanted to order the Minister of Justice, but in the end he first looked at the thoughts of the Minister of the Interior.

In many countries, the Department of the Interior is a government department with great real power, the scope of business is quite extensive, and often linked to law enforcement agencies, the highest department of law enforcement units is the Department of the Interior, but the Department of the Interior of the United States is a bit special, its main responsibility is to protect and open up the land resources on the land owned by the federal government of the United States (including the marine waters owned (or under the jurisdiction of) the United States federal government, and is the relevant public land of the federal government of the United States (including marine waters under federal jurisdiction) and other minerals, The main management department of oil and other resources, in fact, is also an important economic sector of the United States, and the Secretary of Commerce was not able to participate in the conference during this period of time to negotiate trade cooperation in Europe, so the Secretary of the Interior was the most relevant person to the American economy among the participants.

The Minister of the Interior is thinking about not saying anything today, but when the President asks, he can no longer be dumb.

"Mr. President, the impact of this massive protest on us has already been said by my colleagues before, so I will not repeat it, it is something that everyone can see, and we all know that the root cause of this matter was led by the FBI arrest Long, so ,,,,,, may have to start with this person", the Secretary of the Interior cleared his throat and said with only a little hesitation.

The reason why they did not mention it was that it was President kLd himself who ordered the investigation of Chen Kangjie in the first place, and for the sake of his face, no one directly raised this point.

Listening to the words of the Secretary of the Interior, the Attorney General and the Director of the FBI suddenly raised their heads and stared at him in slight amazement, and the eyes of others were also focused on him.

President kLd's face changed slightly, and his eyes were intent.

The interior minister's advice can be said to be in one sentence, and it is also the most appropriate and appropriate word, which is understandable, but kLd is still a little uncomfortable, but after taking two deep breaths, he finally did not express any opinion.

"I agree with the Home Minister's advice, our approval rating has fallen to the lowest point now, and if we don't face this issue head-on, there will be more trouble, Mr. President, you see. The quiet atmosphere was broken by the echoed national security assistant, who knew the details and had great influence over the president.

"Elliott, Jody, I just asked you to investigate Long's relationship with the Atlanta Olympic Park bombing, how did it come to this. After glancing at the National Security Assistant, the kLd president sighed, and then asked the attorney general and FBI Director Jody King in an unkind tone.

kLd did say so at the beginning, he did not name Chen Kangjie to arrest him, but when he did that, he did not object, it was a tacit acquiescence, but at this time, as the chief of the administrative system, he now not only wants to resolve the crisis, but also has to pick himself out as much as possible, so someone must carry this matter.

When kLd questioned the two men, CIA Director George Payi had the most strange expression, looking reserved and embarrassed, and his eyes were constantly looking at the president and the two questionees.

Seeing kLd's grim face, George Pay's heart was full of apprehension, because he was the one who started this incident, and he wanted to know what Elliott and Jody King would do.
