Chapter 284: Threat

readx;

The hijacking of the president on Air Force One immediately became the number one event for the US authorities. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In fact, when the agents on the "Air Force One" reported the situation to the rear, no one believed that it was true, everyone thought that someone was joking.

It's just that no one can deny the facts.

Just five minutes later, agents of the Secret Service loaded the vice president, who was attending a social event in Denver, Colorado, onto a helicopter sent by the Marine Corps.

While the Vice President was rushing to the nearest air base, another presidential plane had already taken off and was flying over.

If all goes well, the vice president will board Air Force Two in half an hour.

According to the emergency response of the US authorities, during this period, the US high-level staff, including the speaker of the House of Representatives and the secretary of state, will carry out emergency evacuations, some of which will be sent to strategic command centers located outside Washington, and others will be sent to other strategic command posts in the country.

After Air Force Two takes off, the vice president will hold an emergency conference call.

At this time, the first thing that the US authorities need to find out is the state of the president, that is, whether the president has been killed or whether he has lost the ability to assume the responsibility of the president.

According to the relevant laws of the United States, even if the president is not finished, as long as he loses the ability to continue to perform his presidential duties, whether he is sick, hijacked, or poses a threat to the national interest, the president will be temporarily removed after the consent of the majority of the cabinet members, and the vice president will perform the duties of the president in his place. As for the formal recall, it will have to wait until the fact and be voted on by the members of Congress.

In fact, the situation at this point is very clear.

The president was kidnapped, and the robbers barricaded the agents outside the room, and if they forcibly attacked, the situation would inevitably worsen. "Air Force One" did not change course and is still on its way to Australia.

So, has the president lost the ability to perform his duties?

In any case, this is not the first issue on the vice president's mind.

After boarding Air Force Two, the vice president's first order was to strengthen Air Force One's escort force, allow the F-22A fighter jets deployed on Guam to take off urgently, and then dispatch two tanker planes from Australia to support the fighters on escort missions.

Obviously, the vice president is smart.

If he had been too active at this time, such as by moving the president's impeachment, those who supported Scott's cabinet would have thought he was seizing power. If Scott is finished, it's better to say later, after all, the vice president is the legal successor. If Scott hadn't finished, the vice president would have been in a very awkward position.

In the position of vice president, the safety of the president must be considered first.

The question is, what can be done by sending a couple of fighters?

The robbers were already on Air Force One, and the president had been kidnapped, dozens of agents were helpless, and fighter jets were even more useless.

You can't shoot down "Air Force One" in order to kill the robbers.

After the takeoff of Air Force II, the vice president held a conference call.

Because the clues were very limited, the robbers cut off the surveillance system as soon as they entered the president's room, so there was very little to discuss at the meeting.

U.S. intelligence and security agencies, including the FBI and the CIA, have launched an investigation without the vice president's orders.

The first thing to find out was naturally the identities of the two robbers.

There is nothing to doubt about it, they are all reporters of the South Korean National News Agency, and they are all very famous reporters, otherwise they would not have gotten a ticket to board the "Air Force One".

The problem is that these two journalists had absolutely no motive to attack the President of the United States.

In order to find out the identity of the robbers, the FBI immediately sent a note to the National Intelligence Service of South Korea, asking them to provide relevant information and conduct a full investigation of the two journalists.

At this point, the most important thing for the US authorities to figure out is the purpose of the robbers.

It is a pity that the robbers did not negotiate with the agents on the "Air Force One" at all.

All the vice president could know was the conversation between the robbers and the president in the room.

Whether the robbers were negligent or the voice monitoring system installed in the room was particularly hidden, the agents of the Secret Service were able to hear the conversation in the room and send it to the vice president.

By this time, it was not Scott who was shocked, but all high-ranking American officials.

On "Air Force One", Liu Wei proved his words to Scott with his actions.

Seeing the "shark gills" that appeared in Liu Wei's ribs, even if Scott didn't believe in myths, he had to believe what he saw, Liu Wei was indeed a transformation warrior.

"Mr. President, you should know by now why I'm doing this, right?" Liu Wei pulled down his clothes, "Although I don't have any holiday with your country, I must ensure my own advantages, and more importantly, make sure that no one can pose a threat to me in the next few decades." ”

"You...... Aren't you afraid of ...... if you do this?"

"I'm afraid, of course very afraid, because I only have a very limited army, and I'm facing the most powerful military force in the world." Liu Wei smiled and said, "But I don't have a choice, as long as I plan to continue to live and do something I want to do, I have to take such a risk." ”

Scott's facial muscles jumped a few times and said, "You came to me to make us give up our efforts on genetic modification?" ”

Liu Wei nodded and didn't say anything more.

"It's just that what I don't understand is, why did you risk coming here?"

"Adventure?"

"Everything you do is to survive, or to eliminate the threats you may encounter. You have to know that once you're on this plane, you can't get out alive. ”

"Mr. President, you underestimate my abilities too much." Liu Wei shook his head with a smile and said, "Let's put it this way, since I can turn Manhattan into ruins, do you think I can't leave here?" ”

Scott was stunned for a moment, thinking that Liu Wei was not joking.

"In fact, if I wanted to, I could turn all the big cities in the United States with a population of more than two million into Manhattan within a year."

"You ......"

"According to the information released by your country, two thousand people attacked Manhattan, and all of them were trained professional soldiers. You underestimate us and overestimate us. ”

"What do you mean?"

"In fact, there were only more than 500 people who attacked Manhattan."

Scott was taken aback, and immediately said: "This is impossible, relying only on more than five hundred people, you can't control Manhattan at all, let alone ......"

"Mr. President, you didn't understand what I meant."

"You mean ......"

"They are not ordinary people, but reformed fighters like me. Maybe in some ways they are not as good as me, but I can assure you that they are stronger than any military man. If you give me enough time, I will be able to lead this army and inflict heavy losses that your country cannot bear. ”

Scott shuddered involuntarily.

"Of course, I'm not a murderer, I'm not a saboteur. Everything I do has a purpose, and killing civilians for no reason is not what I want to do. Liu Wei smiled and said, "It's just that there must be a premise for this, that is, our safety is guaranteed enough, and no one will take the initiative to provoke us." If, on that day, we are threatened, and that threat happens to come from your country, then we will have no choice. ”

"Are you threatening me?"

"No, of course not, but to warn you, and all those who are listening to this conversation through the listening system. You have to understand that I'm not kidding. Liu Wei paused slightly, and the next thing he said was to the vice president of the United States, who was more than 10,000 kilometers away, and other officials. I have never doubted your country's scientific and technological prowess, and although your country has the capacity to restart the project after the destruction of the Future Soldier experimental base, or to launch a similar project under another name, I can guarantee that in the next few years, if not a decade, your country will never be able to transform a Future Soldier that can match mine." ”

"That's what you're for?"

"As I said, it's just a purpose."

"What about the others?" Scott wasn't stupid, and he also knew that someone in the back was listening to their conversation.

"My purpose is not to threaten you, let alone to gain benefits from you, but to reconcile with you and forget about the past and the unpleasant things that are happening." Liu Wei paused again, probably worried that the American officials would not be able to react. "Our purpose is not to be an enemy of any country, but to gain our own space for development and do something of our own. So I hope that in the future we will be able to live in peace and not interfere with each other. ”

"The question is, what do we get out of it?" Scott is a politician, and even when his life is in danger, he has not forgotten to make political capital.

"Just like I mentioned at the beginning, my commitment to safety. As long as your country is not an enemy of us, we will not attack other cities in your country. The precondition, of course, is that your country pledges to abandon the genetic modification programme and not to do anything that poses a threat to us. ”

"You know, it's impossible."

"Really? Mr. President, you have forgotten that nothing is impossible in this world. ”

Scott gritted his teeth and said, "Even if I make a promise, you won't know if we've given up on genetic modification projects. ”

"I really can't know, but I can guarantee that if we find out again that you have a project in this area, a city will be in ruins." Liu Wei paused for a moment and said, "When the time comes, it won't be an attack like the one that happened in Manhattan, but a devastating blow without warning." ”

"You ......"

"If I'm not mistaken, your country has long known that we have planted a nuclear warhead in Manhattan, and although we have not installed an explosive core, we can do genetic modification, and we can build a modified army strong enough to get the enriched uranium needed to make an atomic bomb."

Scott didn't speak again, because he knew that Liu Wei was not joking.

At this time, the US officials in the rear were also anxious. They weren't worried about Scott's safety, but Scott had never mentioned the most critical issues.
