White House, District of Columbia.

Because the threat of war is imminent, the White House has strengthened its security defenses, not only have all the secret service personnel returned to the team, but also deployed a National Guard armored unit outside, set up roadblocks, used several wheeled armored vehicles, and has helicopter gunships patrolling the air at any time.

In fact, just a few hours ago, Congress passed a war resolution.

After the Speaker of the House of Representatives stamped the seal of Congress, the resolution submitted by the White House officially came into effect, that is, during the next war, the commander-in-chief of the US military, that is, the president, will hold the country's war decision-making power, and will not be responsible to Congress during the war.

Under U.S. law, the president decides unless there is a nationwide military mobilization.

Obviously, for the time being, there is no need for a nationwide military mobilization.

The U.S. president is scheduled to deliver a nationally televised address at 9:30 p.m. and formally declare war on North Korea through a televised address.

In fact, the U.S. Congress passed a temporary bill on the same day.

What bill?

Within a month, the benefits were distributed to all citizens, and they were paid in cash, with federal grants to state and local governments, and local governments to local people.

$5,000 per person.

During the state of emergency, the use of electronic money will be stopped, and only paper money will be used for circulation.

In addition, in the coming week, grocery stores and supermarkets across the United States will be open for free to provide daily necessities to the public.

Expenses?

It's all paid for by the federal government.

All of these policies are aimed at maintaining order in the country, ensuring the basic livelihood of the people, and avoiding nationwide unrest.

How much does it cost?

Clearly, this is not something for the federal government to consider, at least not now.

Why did you schedule the televised talk in the evening?

Quite simply, before that, the president of the United States needs to take some time to write a speech.

Of course, this is a bit of an exaggeration, that is, it must be the secretary who writes the speech, and the president of the United States will read it at most before giving a speech.

The point is, it also takes time for a secretary to write a speech.

There are more important things for the President of the United States in the afternoon.

What's the matter?

In accordance with congressional authorization, the first wartime executive order was signed, that is, all arms companies in the United States were unconditionally subject to the government's command.

There is going to be a war, and arms production must be stepped up.

In fact, on the morning of the same day, the US State Department and the Department of Defense held an emergency meeting to ask dozens of domestic arms giants to make assurances.

What guarantees?

Complete the production mobilization as quickly as possible.

Of course, the opinions of these arms giants must be heard.

Why?

The production line of many weapons and equipment is not to say that it can be accelerated if you want to, that is, heavy weapons and equipment have a relatively long production cycle.

Even if it is necessary to speed up production for the needs of the war, it is necessary to complete all aspects of preparation work in advance.

If nothing else, it takes a lot of time just to recruit workers.

In addition, it is necessary to purchase industrial raw materials or spare parts in advance, adjust the production line, coordinate with other manufacturers, and so on.

For this purpose, the US Department of Defense has created a special "production committee".

Why?

It is responsible for managing the production of arms enterprises, and to be precise, to solve the trouble of expanding the scale of production for arms enterprises like Loma.

If the war expands and requires a wider mobilization, it will be up to this committee to allocate supplies.

In fact, when it really comes to that point, the White House, the State Department, and Congress will set up their own committees to uniformly allocate materials across the country.

Only now, for the time being, there is no need for that.

In the afternoon, the President of the United States convened a military meeting.

Although it is not yet time to draw up a battle plan, many problems must be resolved in advance, especially those of the army and the government.

All in all, this is probably the busiest day since US President Rodney took office.

Strictly speaking, it's two days.

He hasn't rested since yesterday.

Although it has been claimed that North Korea carried out the attack, Rodney did not believe it at all, at least at first thought it was nonsense.

What is North Korea?

If North Korea had this ability, would the United States still be able to dominate the world?

Only, Rodney admitted the statement.

Quite simply, he was faced with a multiple-choice question that he didn't have to choose at all.

If it drags on, the domestic situation in the United States will definitely get out of control, and then riots will spread across the country, and there may even be a civil war.

In fact, just yesterday, riots broke out in almost all major cities in the United States.

In New York, fierce battles between police and gangsters continued into the night.

Why?

The gangsters believed that the banks had hacked their money in conjunction with the federal authorities, and then mobilized people to take to the streets, clashing with the police who were maintaining order, and then it turned into a shootout.

It wasn't until the National Guard moved into Manhattan that the street fighting ended.

In Miami, the fighting continued until dawn today.

Although the National Guard entered the city at the first time, it was not able to suppress the local criminal syndicates, and even suffered small losses.

In the words of journalists, Miami became Fallujah.

And Los Angeles.

The riots against minorities continued until this morning, when they were brought under control after the National Guard entered the city.

Although there are no accurate statistics, yesterday at least tens of thousands of civilians were killed in clashes, and thousands of police and guard officers and soldiers were killed or wounded.

As long as the turmoil continues, the United States will be completely finished.

The only way to end the unrest is to start a war, deflect internal tensions, and use wartime mandates to impose martial law throughout the country.

You must know that according to US law, the military has no right to participate in internal security operations.

Then, only by allowing the country to enter a state of war can reservists be legally conscripted, and the strength of domestic security can be strengthened by expanding the strength of the National Guard.

The key is still to create an enemy for the Americans, so that the Americans can deal with this enemy together.

North Korea?

Sort of.

Anyway, it's much better than having no enemies at all.

As the secretary brought in the speech, Rodney was closing his eyes.

He was really tired, not only did he not rest for two days, but he didn't even eat lunch, he also attended several meetings, and dealt with so many tricky things.

If he could, he wanted to lie down in bed and rest for a while.

Unfortunately, not yet.

There are still 2 hours to go before the televised speech, so you have to hurry up and revise the speech, in fact, just read it and write down the main content.

Revise?

What's there to modify?

Perhaps, after the televised speech, you can go to sleep and rest.
