"What's going on? Gentlemen, any of you give me an explanation! ”

The White House, and the president in his last year of term, asked with a cold face to the few people in front of him, among these people, there are the chief of staff of the White House, the president's state adviser, and several heads of key departments, including the director of the NRO, Peter.

The U.S. government's discovery of an alien base on Pluto and the start of preparations for the landing on Pluto caused an uproar in the world in just one day, and Mr. President, who was on vacation, was stunned when he learned about it, because he didn't know about it until he rushed back to the White House and confirmed that it was indeed true, and it was almost the same as what was advertised on the Internet.

Not long ago, NASA's Mars Climate Explorer rover, which accidentally flew into Pluto's orbit, discovered the extraterrestrial civilization facilities stored on Pluto, and then NRO took over the matter and joined forces with ODNI to establish a huge "Zeus Program" in Area 51.

When he learned of the existence of this plan, the anger in the heart of Mr. President almost reached its peak. That's right, his term of office will end next year, and from the current point of view, it is already in the nature of a "left-behind president". But as long as he doesn't move out of the White House for a day, he is still the president of the United States and the supreme head of this great country.

"Peter, you're the director of the NRO, I think it's more appropriate for you to explain this, right?" As the chief of staff, he is Mr. President's indispensable confidant, and although the angry Mr. President gathered them together and asked such things at the same time, in fact, everyone present understood that Mr. President was really targeting ODNI and the NRO agencies that were actually in charge. And Peter is the director of the NRO, and he knows the inside story of this matter better than anyone else on the scene, so it is most appropriate for him to explain it to Mr. President, not to mention that in the eyes of the chief of staff, such an incident has reached this point, and Peter, as the director of the NRO, must take responsibility.

"Explain? Why explain? Peter glanced at the chief of staff coldly, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "As an intelligence agency, the NRO does not need to explain to anyone if it complies with the procedures, not to mention Mr. Chief of Staff, don't forget that there was a precedent for the original Manhattan Project, and until the study was successful, President Truman never knew about the existence of the plan." ”

"You!" I didn't expect my words to be stiffly rejected by Peter, but what Peter said was right, the intelligence agency is a relatively special department, and its independence and particularity determine the difference between them and other government departments, in fact, in some aspects, even the president of the United States has no right to intervene in the normal work of the intelligence agency. As long as Peter can get the formalities that meet the requirements of the qiē procedure, then the existence of this Zeus plan is legitimate.

For the chief of staff, Peter is unceremoniously, but for the cold-faced Mr. President, Peter still has to give a few faces. Immediately, he reported to Mr. President the ins and outs of the entire Zeus program, as well as the current progress of the project, and even took out the information that had been prepared for a long time about the successful test of controlled thermonuclear fusion.

"Mr. President, due to the previous Lingjingmen incident, the NRO side kept the entire plan strictly confidential, not only considering the importance of the plan, but also taking into account the interests of the United States."

"American interests?" Mr. President glanced up at Pete and frowned slightly.

"That's right! It is precisely the national interests of the United States! Peter repeated in an accentuated tone, he preached to Mr. President, including everyone present, that because controlled thermonuclear fusion technology will bring earth-shaking changes in the energy structure of human society, if this incident spreads, it will inevitably affect the interests of the United States in the world, thereby disrupting the global strategic deployment of the United States, the most direct of which is the traditional energy sources such as oil and natural gas controlled by the United States.

Suppose that when the whole world knows that controlled thermonuclear fusion technology is successful, then the originally hot oil fields will become garbage that no one cares about, and the practical value of primary energy sources such as oil and natural gas, including coal, will inevitably plummet, and what kind of impact will it have on the United States with the chain reaction of a large number of related industries.

It is precisely because of these considerations that the Zeus project has been carried out in strict secrecy from the beginning, and has been carried out in a state of extreme secrecy. All of this is a decision made by the NRO out of the interests of the United States, and as the director of the NRO, Peter has done nothing wrong at all.

"But Mr. Peter, don't forget that now your so-called secret is no longer a secret, and your Zeus plan has put the whole of America in a situation of extreme passivity." The state adviser suddenly opened his mouth and asked, as a confidant of Mr. President, of course he stood with the chief of staff. Peter's words are beautiful, if there is no such thing as the current thing, it can be explained, but the problem is that Peter just forgot that the current situation is different, his so-called secrets have long been known to the whole world, on the contrary, they are the people who hold the highest power in the United States are the last to learn the news, which is simply a joke.

"I don't deny that." Peter replied indifferently: "According to the NRO's investigation, the original source of the information is likely to be the Space and Space Administration, you must know that from the analysis of the information currently circulating, the so-called insiders are not aware of the Zeus program, it is just an inference made according to common sense." ”

"Inference? Hehe, Mr. Peter, are you going to pass the buck? The state adviser seized on Peter's illness and immediately pursued and beat him.

"Shirk? There is no need for this. Peter shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly: "Gentlemen, don't forget that we have the most powerful country in the world, and the United States of America will not accept any threats. ”

"What you are doing is damaging the image of the United States!"

"Wrong! I'm defending America's interests! ”

Peter and the state adviser immediately confronted each other, and soon the chief of staff also joined in, and then the heads of the CIA and the FBI stood with Peter out of their considerations, and several parties in the White House office suddenly quarreled and quarreled, one voice was louder than the other, looking at the chaotic scene, Mr. President felt that his head was three times bigger.

"Enough!"

Mr. President, who couldn't stand it, slapped the pen in his hand on the table, and the voice of the office suddenly fell silent, but both sides still stared at each other, with a posture of not convincing anyone.

"Let's think about how to solve the problem at hand." Mr. President, who had a splitting headache, said with a calm face that he could only make peace with the mud when things came to this point, although he was angry that the NRO and other intelligence agencies had come up with such a Zeus plan without telling him, but he also did not agree with the views of the chief of staff and state advisers. As president of the United States, it is his duty to lead the country to remain the world's sole superpower, and to do so, national interests are paramount. Therefore, judging from the current situation, he can only choose this way.

However, when Mr. President said this, everyone at the scene seemed to lose their voices for a while, as if their mouths had been operated on and sewn up with threads.

Now, due to the series of reactions caused by the extraterrestrial base on Pluto, demonstrations have occurred all over the country from time to time. Professor Adams's unfair treatment of major companies, institutions, including the California Institute of Technology protests are inextricably linked, although the United States is strong, but the United States is also a democratic and free country, the Constitution gives every American freedom of speech, once the government makes a suppression of people's speech or other drastic means, the risk caused by zhì no one dares to take the risk, not to mention that before the meeting, everyone also got a new news, that is, the presidential candidates of the two parties are already preparing to take advantage of this incident, If the government does not respond well, the situation is likely to change unpredictably.

Seeing that the people who were still noisy in front of them had become dumb at this time, Mr. President felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart. In his seven-year term, he realizes today that he is the president who is unable to do anything, let alone solve the current problems.

Just as Mr. President was distressed and turned his tentative gaze to his most trusted chief of staff, there was a sudden knock on the office door.

It was the Secretary of State who came in, and in front of everyone in the office, Mr. Secretary of State nodded slightly at everyone, and then went straight to Mr. President: "Mr. President, the State Department has just received a 'request' from various countries, and I want you to take a look." ”

"Request?" Mr. President looked at the Secretary of State suspiciously, and the Secretary of State placed a stack of papers on the table with a solemn expression. Picking up the text, Mr. President looked at it, who wants to look at a face more and more black, where is this request, almost an ultimatum. At the top of the list is from Russia, which has demanded that the United States fully open up the Zeus program, and that Russia can work closely with the United States on controlled thermonuclear fusion devices, including the Pluto landing program. If the United States refuses to cooperate, then Russia will take the necessary measures, including submitting it to the United Nations for discussion, and reserve other drastic means .......

In addition to Russia, there are China, France, Germany, Italy, India...... Even the British, who have always been known as the younger brother of the United States, have put forward similar conditions, and what makes Mr. President most angry is that the two dogs raised by the Americans, Japan and South Korea, have actually put forward a "plea" to follow the United States into the Pluto landing program.
