When it was almost dawn, Liu Wei and the others rushed to the eastern suburbs airport in Baltimore. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Through clients working for the Federal Axe, Capua Jr. obtained a special pass and then rented a small business jet from an aviation leasing company. Although the U.S. military is tightening air traffic control and designating 200 kilometers around Manhattan as a no-fly zone, it has not expanded to Baltimore.

At this time, both houses of the US Congress were already lively.

Although there were still two hours before normal working hours, hundreds of members of Congress arrived at the Capitol ahead of schedule with congressional leaders.

There is only one issue: whether or not to allow the regular army to carry out military missions in the country.

Although there is strong support for this issue, believing that it is very necessary to involve the regular army in combat operations under the current special circumstances, when it comes to the wartime mechanism related to it, Republican lawmakers are clearly opposed to it, believing that it should not give the president too much power.

In order to stop the controversy, the Chamber of Deputies took the lead in dividing the proposal into two parts, namely, the mobilization of the regular army and the implementation of the wartime system.

In the vote, the proposal to mobilize the regular army was successfully passed, and the president will mobilize all US military forces to resolve the current crisis according to the actual situation. To prevent abuse of power by the president, the House of Representatives will set up a special committee to decide whether the crisis is resolved. In other words, the temporary bill will automatically be voided after the Special Committee has determined that the crisis has been resolved.

Proposals to implement the wartime system were rejected by Republican lawmakers in a vote because they were too general and the president would be given a lot of unnecessary powers. Although after the vote, the Myongcho Party lawmakers again suggested that the provisions of the proposal should be discussed separately and give the president the necessary means to resolve the crisis, Norris will not be able to mobilize national resources as a wartime president until a new proposal is presented.

Because the Cook Party has a majority in the House of Councillors, the temporary bill passed by the House of Representatives has not been blocked.

That morning, Norris was given the authority to mobilize the regular army and, in an additional clause, the privilege of exercising defensive hostage military operations.

The so-called defensive surname refers to military operations aimed at protecting national security.

After receiving the authorization, Norris signed the first presidential order to bring the American troops who had already reached the vicinity of Manhattan into a state of war.

Subsequently, Norris signed a total lockdown order.

The presidential decree not only banned all civilian aircraft and ships from approaching Manhattan, creating a broader no-fly zone, but also explicitly prohibiting people without permits from leaving their homes, imposing curfews in New York and Jersey City, and allowing the military to enforce the order.

Although Norris's decision-making was a bit arbitrary, it still won the support and approval of the American people.

Objectively speaking, the damage caused by the turmoil and unrest was more severe than the attack on Manhattan. On the first night after the attack alone, tens of thousands of burglaries occurred in the greater New York area, hundreds of shops were burned down, and dozens of citizens were killed in the scuffle. In order to maintain social order, New York and New Jersey have mobilized thousands of police forces, as well as thousands of National Guardsmen. If the US authorities need to put more effort into dealing with the rebels, they will not have enough energy to resolve the current crisis.

Maintaining social stability has become a top priority.

Unfortunately, when Norris issued the presidential order, Liu Wei's business plane had already left the eastern suburbs of Baltimore's airport and was flying west.

While Norris televised a curfew in the greater New York area, the Grayback Jackal did something similar on Manhattan Island.

It didn't take much effort for the Greyback Jackal to find hundreds of journalists from all over the world.

Although most of them are Americans, many work for news outlets in other countries. Among the journalists found by the Grayback Jackal, many are very famous. For example, a columnist for the Wall Street Times published several influential comments in the aftermath of the financial crisis, exposing the ugly roles played by Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase Investment Bank and Citibank.

The gray-backed jackal has never been to the United States, but he knows the American social system very well.

In the name of preserving and protecting the boiling, journalists have a great deal of influence, and freedom of the press has long been written into the constitutional amendment.

It can be said that in the major events that have occurred in the United States in modern times, there are journalists.

What the gray-backed jackal wants to use is the influence of journalists.

In front of hundreds of journalists, the gray-backed jackal once again explained the reasons for the attack on Manhattan, demanding that the United States must withdraw its troops from overseas occupied territories, stop interfering in the affairs of the Islamic world, apologize to the war-torn countries, pay war reparations, and unconditionally release members of Islamic organizations in custody.

Journalists are not stupid, and when they heard this, they realized that there was a high probability that the attackers would have let them go.

The gray-backed jackal was not interviewed and did not answer any questions. In the atmosphere of the time, no journalist dared to ask questions.

They had only one goal, and that was to get out of Manhattan as soon as possible.

Sure enough, after the demands were announced, the Grayback Jackals immediately announced that they would leave Manhattan with the first group of critically ill patients who needed immediate medical attention.

At noon, about 300 reporters and more than 100 seriously ill patients stepped onto the US landing ship.

Because there were so many people who needed to be evacuated that some seriously ill patients could not take the helicopter, the gray-backed jackal agreed to the request of the US authorities to send a landing ship to pick up the personnel.

Lessons learned, the Yankees did not play tricks when answering people.

In the afternoon, in accordance with Liu Wei's promise, the gray-backed jackal sent more than 600 children and about 200 pregnant women to the US landing ship.

At this point, the attackers have made good on their promises.

Unfortunately, the first approach proposed by the gray-backed jackal did not work, at least not immediately.

After leaving Manhattan, more than 300 journalists were immediately sent to the US military camp at LaGuardia Airport, where they were placed under house arrest.

It didn't take much for Robert to learn that the attackers had revealed a great deal of information to these journalists.

Although he did not have the authority to restrict the personal freedom of journalists, in the name of security, Admiral Robert still had the FBI and CIA intervene in the investigation, questioning each reporter individually, and trying to get useful information from the reporters. The main purpose of this is to prevent information from leaking out of office so that the US authorities will not be able to step down.

It's just that there is no impermeable wall in the world.

Although the U.S. military has placed hundreds of journalists under house arrest, it still has not been able to fully control the situation. Not to mention the foreign journalists with passports, even some American journalists are trying to get the news out there. What's more, the gray-backed jackal did not let all the reporters go, but left a few more daring reporters to follow the patrol of the FOS regiment and learn more about the situation on the island.

That is, they did not leave Manhattan Island with the seriously ill.

Because there was no other way to leave, the reporters later mixed with the civilians until the U.S. military captured Manhattan Island and left with the civilians.

The U.S. military can put more than 300 journalists under house arrest, but it can't put 3 million civilians under house arrest!

Unfortunately, the news could not be transmitted in time, and the right to speak in the news was still under the control of the Yankees, and the whole world could only hear the Yankees' voice.

In the afternoon, Liu Wei's business plane arrived in Las Vegas.

After asking Dianbin to find Yankesky, Liu Wei took little Capua, accompanied by Takeuchi Kotone, to the capital of Nevada by helicopter.

When they arrived, Scott was watching the news with relish.

Although the TV report is not detailed, in the eyes of the vast majority of people, the US federal political axe has controlled the situation and is defusing the crisis, but Scott does not belong to the vast majority of people, relying on his keen political sense, he has realized that this is likely to be the biggest crisis encountered by the Ming Cook party and government axe.

Regardless of the disposition, Norris will be affected.

While feeling sorry for his compatriots who were stranded on the island, Scott also thought about personal interests. If this incident can be used to weaken the influence of the Ming Cook Party, the Republican Party will win the election without difficulty, and he will become the youngest president in Republican history.

Of course, before that, he must win the party election to get the Republican nomination.

When thinking about these things, Scott thought of Liu Wei.

He did not forget that Liu Wei had mentioned in front of him that the Ming Cook Party would definitely lose the election, and whoever represented the Republican Party in the general election would become the next president.

Could it be that the Manhattan affair has something to do with Liu Wei?

Scott was a little confused, but didn't call Liu Wei. One is that Liu Wei does not let him contact him directly, and the other is that he is worried.

If the Manhattan affair is really related to Liu Wei, he has to draw a clear line with Liu Wei, and he must not be together.

It's just that Scott also thinks this concern is a bit ridiculous, Liu Wei is just a businessman with courage and skill, not a terrorist as claimed by the federal political axe.

Besides, how could he have the power to occupy Manhattan Island?

The visit of Liu Wei and Capua Jr. dispelled Scott's worries even more. Since Liu Wei is still in Nevada, the Manhattan affair has nothing to do with him, at least not directly.

This reassured Scott a little bit, and made him feel that Liu Wei was still a partner who could work together for a long time.

Liu Wei doesn't care what Scott thinks of him, but he has to figure out whether Scott is the kind of politician who has both wisdom and courage.

The key is not wisdom, but guts.

If Scott's courage is not big enough, it is useless for Liu Wei to do anything.

Fortunately, Scott's performance before this did not disappoint Liu Wei. When he met Scott, Liu Wei knew that he had not chosen the wrong person.

Scott is a typical politician, the kind of politician who will stop at nothing in order to achieve his ends.

No matter how big the risk is, as long as there are reciprocal benefits, he will not back down!
