Chapter 36 [Decision]

"Are you sure?"

The United States, that extremely hidden cyber center. General Garfield, who was dressed in iron and blood, stared at the expert in front of him, he obviously hoped that the news was fake.

However, things did not change according to his wishes, and the old man opposite him nodded.

"Your Excellency Michael, didn't you say last time that you couldn't tell when this virus would break out, and now why would you know that it will be three hours now" General Garfield was still a little unwilling, he didn't want the news to be true, because he already knew that this kind of computer virus was far more destructive than a war, especially for the United States, a country with highly developed information technology.

"We really haven't worked out the trajectory of this variant virus program yet," Michael said, nodding.

"Then you ......"

When General Garfield heard this, he hurriedly responded, and at this time the Michael interrupted him.

"This news has just come from the S organization"

Hearing this, General Garfield opened his mouth and could no longer speak. The news that the S organization broke out, how could he doubt it. Although he did not set foot in the online field, it did not mean that he did not know the reputation of the S organization. The temple in the hearts of hackers, the messages sent out are like holy decrees.

"So, there's really only three hours left at most."

Michael nodded dejectedly, his face looked extremely bitter, seeing the spark raging in front of his eyes, but he was helpless, which was his sadness as a top cybersecurity officer.

"By the way, does the S organization have a special killing?" General Garfield, trying to grasp the last straw.

"There's no mention of it in the message," Michael shook his head, it seemed that Organization S was still being studied, and even if they had a lot of strength, it would take enough time.

It will be another month before he gathers experts from all over the United States, and with a sufficiently optimistic estimate, the virus is still under a few optimistic estimates. No matter how fast S organizes them, it will take at least ten days or so Now it has only been three days since the virus appeared, Michael couldn't help but think in his heart.

Michael's words made Garfield's face turn pale. All hopes were dashed, and as a figure at the pinnacle of power, he certainly preferred the long-term peace and stability of the country.

Now that the crisis has arrived, as a general, he has nowhere to use his strength, which makes him feel too incompetent.

"Michael, you guys are waiting here, waiting for the latest news from the S organization." General Garfield bit his lip, he had never been so helpless, and now this kind of thing, all he had to do was to tell the president quickly and let the top decision-maker decide what was next.

……

"What's the news from where." I saw the president, who had always been calm and composed, sit up from the bench suddenly, obviously shocking him by the news that came.

To be able to run for the presidency, what kind of wind and waves have not experienced too few things that can make him lose his grace, this matter is an exception.

In recent days, he has not had a good rest for a long time. It is because of this incident that, as the head of state, he clearly understands that this is definitely a crisis that has never been seen before. If it breaks out, its impact will far exceed that of the financial turmoil that has just passed.

The newly recovered economy will fall into recession again, and he, who has just secured his position, will once again be pushed to the cusp. Because he is the head of state and bears the fate of the entire country. If something major happens, it's because of his poor decision-making.

If the news was true, he would have no choice at all now.

General Garfield was not surprised to see the president's reaction, which was almost exactly the same as he had just been.

"News from the S organization," said General Garfield, who now that time is money, and he wants to make everything clear in the shortest possible time and let the president make a decision.

"S organization" Hearing this, the president nodded a little blankly, and his mind was in chaos.

But immediately calm was restored, he was the head of a country, and now no matter what he faced, he couldn't mess with himself, if he was in chaos, who else would the country count on, the group of guys in parliament who would only find fault?

After thinking for a moment, he quickly picked up the phone and dialed a number

"Notify all departments related to the lifeline of the country's economy and the safety of citizens' lives as soon as possible to implement emergency martial law. All flights are temporarily cancelled...... Waiting for the next notification" said a lot of notices, and after saying that, he hung up the phone a little dejectedly. ,

General Garfield, who was on the side, couldn't help but feel a little admiration in his heart, the president was able to make a decision in such a short time and under pressure.

At this time, I saw the president stand up again, and then walked forward: "General Garfield, you immediately notify all the nearby congressmen, go to the White House within half an hour, and convene an emergency meeting" After saying that, he walked outside, he was going to the temporary conference room to wait for the arrival of those congressmen.

A similar scene continues to occur throughout the world.

Of course, Huaxia will not be an exception, inheriting 5,000 years of ancient civilization. The rapid economic development of recent decades has faced the greatest challenge, and although this event is global, no one wants it to happen.

After all, if disaster does strike, no one knows what the situation will be after the disaster.

Today's economic system has been perfected over the decades. None of us want to experience a catastrophe, because this is a rare opportunity for development.

……

Half an hour, USA, White House.

This is the world-famous presidential palace, and at the same time the president is sitting in front of it. Then he looked at his watch, nodded, and the emergency council began.

"Many of you don't know what I mean by convening this emergency council, or that some of you are still arguing about the orders I have just given, which can be called nonsense, so now I will explain to you and ask for your opinion," the president slapped the table, dispersing the still muttering voices.

"Our country is now facing a major disaster, a few days ago, a sudden mutant virus program quickly spread throughout the United States, it is called the spark, of course, it is not only us who has suffered from its invasion, the whole world is undergoing its test"

……

"Informatization in our country is extremely popular, once it explodes. Aerospace, aviation, railways, highways, the safety of citizens, and everything else will face a huge threat, and I can say that it is a catastrophe, and it can even reach a world war."

"All the citizens are still unaware of this, except of course the super hackers who are hiding among the citizens. Forty-five minutes have passed in the three hours, that is, there are now at most two hours and fifteen minutes left, what exactly should we do in the face of this situation, I hope that through this council a plan will be quickly decided"

The President of the United States looked at the time, and the fifteen-minute narrative was over.

The entire makeshift venue fell silent, and all the doubts that had been heard were gone.

I know that you guys, there is nothing you can do at the critical moment. The president cursed in his heart that this group of guys in the parliament would only look for trouble, and when they encountered this kind of thing, they would wilt en masse.

"I have a plan now, which is to wait until the last hour. If there is no way to eradicate the virus, then announce the whole country, and stop all industrial production, shipping, and other activities. This is the best plan he could come up with after much deliberation.

"Vote now by show of hands"
