Chapter 251: Struggle for power and profit
On Lingshan Island, countless raven fighters are patrolling back and forth on the island.
In the valley where the Dachunlu Starman Mothership is located, it is even more lively, with hundreds of SCVs and exploration planes constantly busy up and down to repair the mothership, and at the same time, there are several Dachunluren octopus-type exoskeletons interspersed.
It is not an easy task to get rid of this more than 1,000-meter-long Dachunlu exploration mothership, and the best way is to let it fly on its own.
If it was originally based on the technology mastered by Chris's subordinates, this would not be an easy task, after all, the level of the Da Chun Law civilization is very high, and if you want to repair the other party's mothership without knowing this civilization, even if there is a genius engineer like Swan, it will be a very difficult job.
But now that the Dachun Laws have become a subordinate civilization of Chris, the situation is different.
The total number of Da Chun Lu people is now only about 2,000 people, and of them, more than half of them are the technical and logistics personnel of the battleship, and there are hundreds of high-level people, and only a few hundred people belong to the military class, and most of them died in the previous battle.
And thanks to the political system of the Dachunlu civilization, just like the so-called aristocratic treatment demanded by the high-ranking officials of Dachunlu before, this civilized political system is an extremely hierarchical imperial system.
Therefore, after the so-called aristocratic high-ranking people announced that they had become Chris's subordinate races, these Dachun Luts showed great obedience, fully submitted all the technical information they had, and began to work for Chris, which obviously greatly accelerated the repair progress of the mothership.
Although this is just an exploration ship, and the personnel are just some ordinary technicians, and they do not have the most high-end technology of the Chunlu civilization, but the benefits are very comprehensive, and it is still of great help to Chris, especially the other party's use of energy technology, so that Chris's Star Spirit Technology unlocking progress has been greatly improved again.
Chris stood at the top of the cliff quietly blowing the wind, and Probis swayed beside him.
Looking at the busy SCVs and probes below, Chris was very satisfied, and he also reduced some of his depression about temporarily losing Decca's powerful combat power.
It's been a few hours since Dika was taken away by the Ancient One, and Chris is afraid that he won't be able to come back.
However, Chris knows that Dika is not dead, although Dika is drawn by lottery, but like the summoned heroes, they are all related to the system, if he dies, he will definitely get a hint from the system, and now in this situation, it is obvious that Gu Yi does not know where to go.
Just when Chris rarely experienced the silence at this time, Frank's figure appeared behind Chris.
"What's the matter? Frank. Chris asked without looking back.
"BOSS, don't you have any plans for the White House?" Frank didn't mind either, and asked bluntly.
For such a big thing as the capture of the White House, for Chris, who has already included the whole world in the scope of surveillance, it is simply impossible to say that he does not know, and even when Sheffield planned this incident, Chris already knew.
But Frank is a little confused that Chris has no action at all about this matter, after all, at this time, if Chris can solve this matter, it will be a great influence on him in the United States and even the world.
"What? Do you also care about the life and death of those big masters? Chris couldn't help but smile when he heard this.
"No, I just think that this is a very good opportunity for us to expand our influence" Frank shook his head and said, "Of course, I also hope that this matter will end as soon as possible, after all, the impact of this kind of thing on the people is also very huge." ”
"Hehe, don't worry, I have already arranged this matter, Sheffield can't turn the sky," Chris said with a chuckle.
"Oh? What are you going to do? Frank couldn't help but be a little curious.
"You know what? Sheffield's most important assistant, but our people, but this time, I won't come forward in person, after all, I'm just a businessman, this kind of showmanship, let's leave it to my old man" Chris patted Probis next to him, and the corners of his mouth flashed a trace of arc and said, "And I'm afraid you don't know yet, right?" The Autobots' army has already arrived on Earth, and they must have already started to move. ”
…………………………
In the Pentagon, the speaker of the House of Representatives, surrounded by a crowd of people, stepped out of the car, and several generals immediately greeted him.
"Mr. Speaker, I'm Admiral Briggs, and I'm the Deputy Chairman of the Senate Liaison Council," a general in an Air Force uniform introduced himself, "and now I'm in charge here." ”
"Hello General, but isn't the Secretary of Defense or the Secretary of Homeland Security responsible for this situation?" The Speaker asked.
"The Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Homeland Security are both in the White House," Admiral Briggs said with a slight embarrassment.
"And what about the deputy minister?" The Speaker asked again.
“…… They're also in the White House."
"Oh my gosh...... Well, it looks like the situation has gotten worse to the extreme," Mr. Speaker said with some helplessness.
"Yes sir, so we need to take a final contingency plan," Admiral Briggs said as he led the way.
"What do you mean by that?" The Speaker asked, as if he didn't understand.
"Sir, this country needs a leader, look at the current situation, the Washington police surrounded the scene, the FBI wanted to command, and the Secret Service also considered it their duty" Admiral Briggs explained the current situation as he pressed the elevator button leading to the bunker command center.
And the meaning of his words is also very clear, that is, he hopes that Mr. Speaker will take over the duties of president and then hand over the command to him.
In the national emergency plan of the United States, if something happens to the president of the United States, then the vice president and president of the Senate will continue to perform the duties of the president as the second heir, but now Mr. Vice President is now in the White House like the cowboy president, so the responsibility of the president of the United States naturally falls on the third heir, that is, the speaker of the House of Representatives in front of him, but it is obvious that some people are not willing to hand over the command of the scene to General Briggs.
"General, I'm Carol Finnati, the Secret Service's chief of security," said a woman behind the Speaker of the House of Representatives, standing up, "and it's our job to protect that building. ”
"Yes, that's right, but you're running to our building now," said General Briggs smugly as the elevator opened, looking at the busy headquarters in front of him.
"General Briggs is right, what we have to do now is send troops to immediately take back the White House from the attackers," Mr. Speaker nodded in agreement.
"No, sir, we can't do that, the Local Security Forces Act and the Insurgency Suppression Act make it impossible for us to deploy combat troops on our homeland," Ms. Carroll continued.
"That's why we have the National Guard," General Briggs said again.
"General, with all due respect, only the president has this right," Ms. Carroll argued.
"Then invoke the 25th Amendment to the Constitution" At this time, a staff member behind the speaker stood up and interrupted the drama of the struggle for power.
"What? You want to remove the president? Carol was stunned to hear the name of the bill.
"Ms. Carroll, right now we are facing a very serious constitutional crisis, and this country needs a leader." The staff member explained.
"I'm afraid it won't work," a voice sounded from behind them just as Carol was about to say a few words.
Everyone turned around, but saw the head of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Gideon Malik, with a vote, and did not know when he entered the underground headquarters.
It can only be said that with the fall of a large number of high-ranking government officials along with the White House, all kinds of bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods have begun to jump out and prepare to seize power.
