August 28 is an extraordinary day for more than 8 billion people.

On the same day, at 8 a.m. Eastern time, the White House press secretary announced that the US president would personally hold a press conference two hours later to announce a major event and allow reporters from all television stations to report on the White House lawn.

As soon as the news broke, nearly 2,000 journalists flocked to the White House.

At this time, the outside of the White House was heavily guarded. Thousands of military police not only controlled all the nearby streets, but also drew security lines 2,500 meters away, controlled all the high-rise buildings in the vicinity, at least two special forces sniper teams were deployed on top of each building, all intersections were barricaded by the military and police, and nearby residents, government workers, and workers from all walks of life were forcibly evacuated.

Journalists entering the White House are subject to three extremely severe checks. The last screening was conducted in a secret room, where same-sex soldiers conducted body searches and reporters were stripped naked. While many journalists protested, no one wanted to miss the opportunity to report from the field.

What happened the other day has already made journalists smell the smell of major events.

Because the official institutions of 10 countries, including the United States, have admitted that the asteroid that is approaching the earth is beyond mankind's understanding of the universe in some respects, and the possibility of being controlled by extraterrestrial civilizations cannot be ruled out, reporters have realized that the US president personally held a press conference at this time, and the news released must be very important, and it is very likely to be related to extraterrestrial civilizations.

If that were the case, no one would back down even if they let reporters strip naked and report on the White House lawn.

In less than two hours, the White House lawn was filled with nearly 2,000 journalists from all over the world, including Iran and North Korea.

At 9:55 a.m., O'Brien walked out of the White House.

After some preparations, the press conference officially began at 10 o'clock sharp.

"Guys, first of all, I will not answer any questions. If in doubt, save it for the press conference in the afternoon. After a brief statement, O'Brien cleared his throat and said, "Two years ago, we discovered the asteroid that was approaching Earth and gave it the designation '2014X1.' After three months of continuous observation, it was tentatively confirmed that the asteroid was controlled by intelligent extraterrestrial life. In July 2014, the 10 countries that discovered the asteroid, namely China, China, Russia, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Israel, Australia and Canada, jointly established the 'Planetary Defense Council' aimed at defending the right of human existence and development after many consultations and negotiations. ”

Although O'Brien deliberately omitted that Japan was one of the first members, what he said was largely true.

"After two years of arduous efforts, we have not only made major breakthroughs in the fields of nuclear energy, nanotechnology, neural network computers, polymer materials, and other cutting-edge scientific and technological fields, but have also built up powerful armed forces sufficient to defend human civilization, including more than 1,000 nuclear warheads of 200 million tons deployed in outer space, and a combat unit armed with the most cutting-edge technology. I hereby declare to the whole world that under the leadership of the Planetary Defense Council, human civilization has for the first time the strength to defend its right to subsistence and development, and mankind is not afraid of any challenge. In a few days, we will announce to the universe that humanity is capable of defending its homeland! ”

At the end of the speech, when O'Brien stepped off the podium, the horrified reporters reacted.

"Your Excellency, can you elaborate on ......?"

"President, in the Planetary Defense Council, how is it that there is no Japan?"

"Is what happened in Japan at the beginning of the month related to this?"

"Will the United States enter a state of war because of this?"

"The Planetary Defense Council, do you think that all the member states have been unified under one government?"

"Is cooperation with China and Russia suspected of violating relevant U.S. laws?"

"Your Excellency, is human civilization as you claim, strong enough to resist the invasion of extraterrestrial civilizations?"

……

Although O'Brien made it clear that he would not answer any questions, the situation was not under control at all, and reporters rushed to ask questions before O'Brien left.

"To each his ...... Everybody......" The White House press secretary stepped forward and slapped the microphone a few times before the audience was shaken. "Ladies and gentlemen, at six o'clock in the afternoon, a press conference will be held at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and East Avenue in New York, and one of the main achievements of the Planetary Defense Council in the past two years will be displayed, and the super soldier known as the 'Doomsday Warrior' will be displayed on the spot, and I hope you will arrive on time."

By this time, O'Brien had entered the White House.

O'Brien couldn't stay to answer reporters' questions, because he had to face a bigger challenge: going to Congress to make a state address about it.

The reporters reacted immediately and quickly split into two ways. One way to stay and continue to do the report and commentary, the other way to grab the advantageous position.

Soon, New York replaced Washington as the focus of the world's world.

It's just that the U.S. military has already deployed in advance, taking control of all the high-rise buildings near the Empire State Building, and also deploying snipers on top of the buildings.

Because there were no dignitaries at the press conference, the security at the scene was not tight.

Next, there is the long wait.

The purpose of deliberately stretching the time for eight hours is mainly to allow the major news media to digest the big news in the morning and attract the attention of the whole world.

As Zhang expected, by 6 p.m. EST, people from all over the world gathered in front of televisions and radios. Many people have put down their daily routines, many people have put down their household chores, and they have waited for the big news to come.

Waiting, so that everyone is full of anticipation for the "Doomsday Warrior".

In the past few hours, many television stations that have cooperated with the government have also launched special programs that speculate and analyze the face of the Doomsday Warriors.

It can be said that the public opinion propaganda planned by Zhang Xiaogang was very successful.

With the cooperation of the mainstream media, the attention of the population quickly turned to the Doomsday Warrior. The anticipation of the Doomsday Warrior keeps most civilians with the last glimmer of hope.

If the Doomsday Force can make a stunning appearance, the publicity effect will be increased several times.

The key is whether the debut of the Doomsday Force can leave an unforgettable impression on the people, and make the people believe that these warriors armed with super skills will be the saviors of mankind!

In a few hours, the social repercussions of the member states made the vast majority of leaders satisfied with Zhang Xiaogang's plan.

It's just that not all of them are satisfied.

After attending a congressional hearing, O'Brien called Stark and complained that the propaganda related to the Doomsday Soldier completely obscured the shock effect of his press conference, namely that the Doomsday Soldier had robbed him of his footage and left him unnoticed by the public.

Clearly, the black president, who is known for his fame, has forgotten one thing. Just two days ago, he resolutely opposed Zhang Xiaogang's plan to guide public opinion. Moreover, O'Brien seems to have forgotten that what he has done behind the back of the U.S. Congress over the past two years is enough for Congress to initiate impeachment proceedings. If he comes out at this time to steal the camera, causing the next propaganda work to fail to achieve the expected effect, American voters will definitely remember him, and politicians in Congress will remember him, and send him out of the White House in the form of impeachment.

The biggest beneficiary of the success of public opinion propaganda is O'Brien.

Because it was summer in the Northern Hemisphere, it was still very bright at six o'clock, but the clouds over New York were less than a thousand meters high.

The weather conditions were not ideal, which made Zhang Xiaogang, who stayed in Diego Garcia in charge of overall command, a little worried.

At this time, reporters from various countries gathered near the Empire State Building heard a roar coming from above the clouds, as if a thunderstorm was coming.

It was not a thunderstorm that came, but a C-17A transport aircraft.

When the aft hatch opened, ten Doomsday Warriors lined up in a column, and the air commander was waiting for General Howard to give the order to paratrophie.

Chu Tianjiang stood fifth, with Petronovich in front and Halevy in the back.

In order to take care of captain Aldrich and deputy captain Schultz, and to maintain the group battle formation, Chu Tianjiang and Halevy's sniper team could only rank third.

Chu Tianjiang had long found out that the other Doomsday Warriors were also very dissatisfied with this operation.

After the transport plane took off, the ten Doomsday Warriors silently made preparations, no one talked, and no one approached Howard about the situation.

Because you have to parachute into the Empire State Building, you must first familiarize yourself with how to use the glider.

Before becoming doomsday warriors, most of the ten special forces used a glider, a kind of individual airborne combat equipment that is fixed to the back by rigging, made of composite materials, and bounces to the sides when used, and controls the direction of flight by changing the center of gravity of the body.

This equipment is only available to special forces.

Five years ago, the US military first equipped gliders for special forces deployed in Afghanistan, and achieved very good results in actual combat.

The glider equipped for the Doomsday Force has been improved in terms of control system.

That is, ailerons and flaps have been added, and they are connected to the control unit of the Doomsday Warrior system, which is directly controlled by the Doomsday Warrior through the mind.

Comparatively speaking, this method of control is much simpler.

When in use, the Doomsday Warrior only needs to keep an eye on the landing site, and the nerve center control unit can automatically convert the instructions sent by the Doomsday Warrior's brain and the information collected through the visual equipment into control commands, and control the aileron and flaps of the glider to deflect.

In the past, the ten Doomsday Warriors had only been trained in a virtual environment, and this was the first time they had been used in real life.

To this end, Howard prepared an instruction manual for each Doomsday Soldier to familiarize them with how to use it and kill time by the way.
