Chapter 160: Pete's Disaster!

The war is no longer something that anyone or any force can stop, and even if President Wang Hengyue gives the order to stop the war now, it is no longer possible to prevent the continuation of the war.

If Churchill was the most determined to resist in Britain, then there is no doubt that Pitt is also determined to resist in the United States.

Pete was reluctant to give up, and Pete never gave up. He firmly believed that he could lead the United States to a miracle that would shock the whole world.

He ran around, calling on all Americans to unite and fight for a common goal:

Victory!

Win whatever it takes to defend the United States!

It was not Yu Yun who was always by Pitt's side, but Pitt's wife Mary. This American woman, who has never experienced the happiness of husband and wife since marrying Pete, although she has long known that her husband does not love her, she still does her best to fulfill the duties of a wife and the first lady of the United States, and has never slackened.

She also knew that the war had reached a most critical moment, both for the United States and for her husband.

Mary was exhausted from a busy day, and her husband had to attend a dinner party in the evening to give a speech, and Mary could not accompany her this time. He returned to his father's house, where he met his father, Little Evans.

Mary clearly noticed that the atmosphere in the manor was not right. My father and some political and business dignitaries were nervously talking about something.

Mary greeted them briefly, then returned to her room. But she always felt in her heart that something was going to happen

She crept out of the room, outside the room where her father and his friends were, and put her ear to the door, listening quietly.

"Pitt is no longer fit to be president of the United States, Evans."

"Yes, I think so too, he has to be responsible for all of this in America, Evans."

"Check, Robbie, I think we can think about it again, I had a deep conversation with Pete, and he thinks he has what it takes to defend America."

"Defending America? Evans, don't be so naΓ―ve. He can't defend America. Mexico has declared war on us. Of course, a Mexico is not terrible, but apparently Mexico did so with the support of the Chinese and the Germans. Do you think one United States will be able to withstand an attack from several directions? ”

Outside the door, Mary heard her father fall silent, and then it was a moment before Evans said, "Do we really have to go that far?" ”

"Yes, we're ready. In Pete's name, he will not give up, he will stubbornly persevere to the end, and then lead the United States to destruction, and it is up to us to end this terrible thing. ”

"Okay, okay" Even outside the door, Mary could feel her father's despair, and she heard her father say, "Pete is my son-in-law, but I will not sacrifice the future of America for him, since you all think so, let's start doing it." ”

"Thank you for the sacrifices you made for the United States, thank you."

Mary heard that they were about to leave, and hurried out of the place first. After all the guests had gone, Mary went into her father's room. She saw her father sitting blankly, muffling a cigarette

"Father," Mary called in a low voice.

"Mary" Evans looked up, saw that it was his daughter, and forced a smile.

"Father." Mary sat down beside her father, nervous, worried, scared in her tone, "What do you want to do to Pete?" I heard it all outside just now. ”

Evans smiled bitterly: "Nothing, we think that Pete, your husband and have fulfilled his mission as president of the United States, he should give this position to someone more capable to do something, although it sounds a little embarrassing, but in fact, there is nothing wrong with thinking about it." The presidency of the United States is the hardest job in the world, and now Pete can let go of this burden and be by your side! ”

"Is that all?" Mary was visibly unconvinced.

"That's all, a father doesn't cheat on his daughter." Evans' smile stiffened, "We just want him to end his mission." ”

Mary didn't hear the pun in her father's words, and she breathed a sigh of relief: "Father, Cornwell is not fit to be a president, yes, I always thought so. Even though he was so strong in front of all Americans, he was actually very fragile at heart, and he had to rely on the support of that Chinese woman to do what he wanted to do, and I even think what would become of Conwell once he lost Yu Yun's support? ”

"Mary, go get some rest early."

Watching his daughter leave a little lonely, Evans fell into deep self-blame.

Yes, my daughter was never happy. Her marriage to Pitt was itself a marriage with strong political overtones. Pete never really loved his wife, and Evans was sure of that. But Evans and his father, Evans Sr., never cared.

In their opinion, it is enough for a successful person to be able to show his father's affection in front of outsiders.

But they sacrificed the happiness of their daughter's life

Pete carefully dressed in front of the mirror, he carefully beat and beat his tie, then turned to his wife and asked, "Is it okay for me to do this?" ”

"Very spirited, Pete." Mary said with a smile.

"Today is a very important speech." Pete said in good spirits: "I will give a war speech in front of the big business groups, and I need their support so that I can continue to carry on the war." ”

"You're going to make it." Mary was still smiling: "Wherever you go, I will be there for you, and then watch your success." ”

"Thank you." Pete was touched by his wife.

For so many years, his wife has always stood by her side without regrets, no matter what she did, the most supportive of her was her wife Mary.

Maybe when the war is over, I should make it up to her

"Stationmaster, everything is ready, we can evacuate."

Yu Yun nodded, looked around, and suddenly found that she had lived in the United States for so many years, and she didn't have any luggage.

It's a strange feeling, or maybe I've never considered the United States my home.

I have received the news that I have been ordered to evacuate immediately, and it was sent with the password of Tianzi No. 1. In other words, his latent life in the United States is finally coming to an end

I went back to China, I really want to go back to China, and I don't have to wake up with nightmares every night.

The only thing she couldn't worry about was Pete. To be honest, Yu Yun knew that Pete loved her, but she had never loved Pete, not a day. She treats Pete as her own relative, an older brother; She regarded Pete as her own task, a task that had to be completed, but it had nothing to do with love, but now that she was about to leave the United States, Pete's figure suddenly appeared in her heart, and this feeling was so strong.

"How's Pete doing?" Yu Yun tried to make his questioning sound calm.

"He's going to give a speech today to some big business people in the United States, and we seem to have heard some news that someone is going to be bad for Pitt."

"Bad for Pete?" Yu Yun frowned: "Did our people do it?" ”

"No, no one has given us any orders related to this. It should be done by the Americans themselves, and now the disappointment of Pitt in the United States is more serious, many people think that Pitt is no longer suitable to be the president of the United States, and he should choose to resign voluntarily, but Pitt refuses to resign, and he firmly believes that he can continue to do this position. ”

"Do you know what it is?"

"It could have been an assassination against him"

Yu Yun suddenly became nervous.

Assassination? An assassination of Pete? God, who would have thought to go to this Pete? At this moment, Yu Yun suddenly realized that he actually cared so much about Pete, maybe he had never found out before

"Order everyone to evacuate immediately, and complete the evacuation within ten days." Yu Yun's order became firm.

"What about you?"

"I will evacuate later to generate electricity for the country, the American mission has been completed, and the first batch of 'returnees' are on their way home, please start answering immediately."

"Webmaster, you"

"Don't worry about me, I know how to take care of myself." After Yu Yun finished speaking, he walked to the table, opened the drawer, took out a pistol from it, then checked it, and carefully put it away

"Gentlemen, there is no despair in the United States, on the contrary, this is only the beginning of American hope!"

Pete raised his eyes and waved his arm vigorously: "We will definitely be able to defeat the Axis and achieve the victory we want." But now, the United States needs your support! We will fight the Axis in the sky, we will fight the Axis on the sea, we will fight the Axis on land. ”

"And what about Mexico? Do you give them a turkey and invite them home? ”

Someone said this sarcastically, and then immediately snickered.

Pitt controlled his anger: "I have sent the best generals and the best soldiers to repel the invasion of the Mexicans, and I believe our army can do it." Our main enemy is not Mexico, but the threat from China and Germany. ”

"Mr. President, it is not good that you can see this clearly." The leader of a large consortium stood up: "But what do we rely on now to fight with the Chinese and the Germans?" At sea, we have lost the superiority and are not yet completely occupied by the Axis powers now or in the air, but God knows when enemy planes will appear above our heads? Do you think that an air strike on New York or Boston would not be a terrible disaster for the United States? ”

Another American stood up: "Mr. President, it's hard for us to keep going. If we are purely based on the balance of forces, we can continue to fight for a year or even longer, and the enemy will be more corpses on American soil, but what is the special significance of this for the United States? Our land will be bombed, our homes will be destroyed, our economy will be hit hardest, and don't you think it will be a terrible disaster for the United States to continue to resist? ”

"Sir, you are terrible defeatism." Pete pursed his lips: "The United States will never surrender to a foreign invading force, never." Yes, our economy will be dealt a terrible blow, but compared to surrender, we can fully bear the economic losses, and victory is the most important thing for us"

"Enough!" The American rudely interrupted the president: "This is your own war, you will be responsible for this war alone, and the whole of America will not be destroyed with you because of your madness." You have lost our trust. I voted for you, and now it looks like a crazy and brooding decision, yes! ”

With that, the American strode out, not even bothering to look at Pete again.

So, more and more people stood up and walked out, and soon, in such a large auditorium, only the lonely Pitt couple remained.

Mary quietly shook her husband's hand.

Pete let out a long sigh!

When they walked out, there were no flowers, no cheers, which was a huge contrast to when Pitt was elected president of the United States.

"Am I really doing something wrong?" Pete asked softly. He seemed to be asking Mary, and he seemed to be asking himself.

"No, you didn't do anything wrong." Mary smiled and comforted her husband: "You never did anything wrong, it was them who were wrong." ”

"Thank you." Pete said gratefully.

"Mr. President, Mr. President, I support your decision, long live the fight, the United States will never give in, never!"

Suddenly, someone shouted loudly. Pete hadn't heard of his support for a long time, he asked his bodyguard to bring the man over, and resolutely stopped the bodyguard from wanting to check on him, when the man came to him, Pete said gratefully: "Thank you for your support, sir!" ”

"No, it should be the United States, thank you." The man said, "I have a gift for you." ”

An ominous premonition suddenly rose in Mary's heart, as to why

The man's hand reached into his pocket, then pulled it out

"Be careful, Pete!" Mary screamed, and then the whole person stood in front of Pete's gunshots

The assassin was subdued, but he did not give in, and there he shouted: "Conwell, you scum of America!" ”

Pete didn't hear him scolding at all, he hugged his wife tightly, and at the moment when the assassin's gun rang out, it was his wife who used her body to block the bullet

"Pete, Pete, I'm going to die." Mary said weakly.

"No, no, you're not going to die!" Pete cried out in panic: "Doctor, doctor! ”

"Pete, it's useless, I can feel it." In the face of death, Mary did not have the slightest fear, and even a relieved smile appeared on her face: "Pete, did you ever love me?" ”

Pete nodded vigorously: "Yes, I love you, I love you so much." Mary, hold on, the doctor will be here soon. ”

"Forgive my father, forgive him," Mary's voice grew deeper.

Pete didn't understand why his wife would say such a thing, he was about to speak, and he heard her say: "Pete, my father said that this position is the hardest place in the world, give up, don't give anything for this country"

Pete's hands were covered in blood, and he had no idea what he was supposed to say.

Mary, Mary, she never loved her, but she always silently gave everything to herself behind her. Even, she gave her life for herself

But why forgive his father? What does this have to do with her father, Evans?

Mary's eyes gradually closed, and no matter how much Pete called her, she could no longer open them.

Mary died, and the wife of the President of the United States died.

Pete held his wife's body sadly, sat on the ground blankly, no tears, not even sadness, maybe Pete at this moment has been completely desperate.

On the other side, Yu Yun saw that it was too late, too late, but fortunately, Mary protected her husband with her own life.

It was a brave woman, and even though she seemed so weak before, she didn't hesitate to stand up when she was most needed.

Perhaps, Mary thought that dying for her husband was the happiest thing to do.

So, if it were you, would you do it? Yu Yun suddenly asked herself in her heart, but she couldn't give herself an answer.

Putting Pitt in this position would be a huge mistake for the United States, and he is not fit to be president of a country, especially in times of war. But he still sat in this position, and so, for Pete, his suffering officially began!

Yu Yun sighed softly.

Pete, Pete.

Why do you have to sit in this position?

A spot that doesn't belong to you.

This is a disaster for Pitt himself, and it is a disaster for the United States.

There is no end to disaster.

But the great catastrophe in the United States has only just begun!
