Chapter 233: Exposed
In countries around the world, parades, whether for-profit or non-profit, are basically required to be reported.
And such a large-scale demonstration naturally attracted some attention from the intelligence services of various countries, but even the election of the president of the United States had millions of people marching in protest, and this time humanity was almost wiped out, and it was not normal for the people to vent their dissatisfaction?
As far as the United States is concerned, hundreds of parades break out every year, which is not a problem! In this regard, even governments have long anticipated and made relevant plans.
Among these parade applications, there are protests against the government's concealment of the truth, there are also protests against the government's priority to save the politicians and rich people when the crisis comes, and even protests against the brutality of aliens, but the most common is to call on humanity to unite against aliens.
In the beginning, the countries only tried to increase their police presence to ensure that there were no riots, and apart from the large scale of the demonstrations, they did not notice anything unusual.
The next day, large-scale demonstrations broke out in various states and counties of the United States as scheduled, and the scale was unprecedented!
The central squares of the major cities were basically occupied, and the demonstrators held up signs and slogans of various colors, chanting various slogans, and walked through the main streets of the cities.
The National Police Department is struggling to maintain law and order, and reporters from all over the country are also going to various areas to shoot interviews.
……
At 9 o'clock this morning, a series of large-scale demonstrations were held in hundreds of cities in various states and counties, and the number of marchers has reached more than two million, and it continues to increase!
It is reported that the parades will be held in San Francisco, Atlanta, Dallas, Detroit, and Washington today and tomorrow, and after that, the parades will continue to be held in New York, Oakland, Minneapolis, and dozens of other cities across the country.
Since the outbreak of the 'doomsday crisis', the government's response has obviously been criticized by many people, so let's interview the people's demands on the spot! After the reporter finished speaking, he found a young man holding a sign and excitedly shouting "Down with the aliens".
"Hello sir, where are you from? What is the purpose of participating in this march today? ”
"Whew...... Hello Miss Reporter, I am the student union representative of the University of Berkeley, and our group is the California League of Colleges and Universities, and I beg your pardon, I am a little excited, because this march is really about the survival, dignity and freedom of everyone!
We are suffering from a barbaric invasion of an alien civilization, so we must stand up and resist, which cannot be done by millions or tens of millions of people, and we are standing here today to appeal to the government to launch a bill to the United Nations to form an 'Earth Defense Force'!
In such a critical situation, it is time to unite the 6 billion human beings on Earth and establish a united front of aliens! Only then will we be able to fight those evil and murderous aliens!
Finally, I would like to say that all the earthlings who do not want to be slaves will come and show solidarity with us! Humanity will win! The student representative raised his fist and shouted, winning a burst of cheers from those around him......
……
Meanwhile...... CNN, NBC and other well-known TV stations in the United States are all reporting a similar scene!
Not only the United States, but also media workers all over the world were stunned to find that among the major social networks and marching crowds, the remarks of "Earth Defense Force", "Earth Foreign Combat Force", and "Unite Mankind to Resist Aliens" were almost one-sided and explosive, and were supported by more and more people!
In the capital square of the flower planter, there are even tens of thousands of people singing the national anthem in unison.
“…… Get up...... Those who do not want to be slaves have built our flesh and blood into our new Great Wall...... Everyone was forced to let out a final roar...... Get up, get up, we are all ......"
As the song came out far away, and even more and more pedestrians joined in, people's anger and unwillingness to aliens in the event of the apocalyptic crisis of mankind were erupting in this increasingly fierce procession......
……
The conference room of the Hexagonal Office of the United States.
“…… The above is the global dynamic broadcast of the 'Doomsday Crisis' parade, please watch the follow-up report of this station! ”
Syllable! The "new" defense minister of the United States turned off the TV and looked at everyone present with a somewhat ugly face.
The new defense minister is the president's emergency temporary replacement, the former commander of the United States Air Force.
"Ladies and gentlemen, although I understand the hostility of our citizens towards aliens due to the 'Doomsday Crisis' incident, this strong call for the formation of a 'United Earth Defense Force' represents a serious crisis of confidence among the people in our government army! ”
He looked around at the generals and dignitaries present, "Not only that, but is it a coincidence that the whole world is now bursting out of this kind of large-scale war cry almost at the same time?" I suspect even more that someone is secretly pushing!
What's even more terrifying is that a global organization with such transnational operational capabilities, they are acting on such a large scale, and our intelligence services have not even received the slightest news in advance? Even how exactly they did it, there is still no definite conclusion!
This has created a serious crisis of confidence in the intelligence system of our country for both me and myself!
A country, not even the military and intelligence services that are responsible for protecting it, can be trusted, colleagues! As the new Minister of Defense of the United States, I feel ...... now It's very insecure! The Minister of Defense said word by word.
Everyone present was silent, and then one of them stood up and spoke, "Your Excellency, as a member of the military, I must point out that there is no room for our military to intervene in the development of this incident, and if you want to be held accountable, I think District 13 must take the main responsibility!" ”
As the main party, the head of the thirteenth district was also present at this moment, and when he saw everyone turning their heads to look at him, he couldn't help but sigh and stood up, and solemnly bowed to everyone present.
"I'm sorry everyone, I do need to bear a lot of responsibility for this, I will not deny this, but ladies and gentlemen, our opponents are not the poor and backward countries of the past, and we do not have asymmetrical technological and combat superiority!
On the contrary, the bomb is not something that can be solved by the army or conventional weapons.
Just as in the Gulf War, in the face of our advanced fighters, the enemy's tanks could only be targets, and that bomb was ...... There is no solution!
If there's anything wrong with Sector 13 in this process, it's that it underestimated the hostility of the aliens towards us, and was tempted by advanced technology to not choose to destroy it immediately...... I'm so sorry! ”
The Minister of Defense seemed to be very satisfied with the district chief's words, "I have read the incident report, and it is not your fault in this matter, and there is nothing wrong with your approach, on the contrary, you who finally persevered until the last moment and solved the bomb should be commended!" ”
Everyone looked at each other, and although it sounded reasonable, the bias was a little too obvious, right? Don't forget, you're the one in charge of the military, okay! Could it be that the two of them have a leg?
The district governor himself seemed a little surprised, and couldn't help but look at the Minister of Defense gratefully.
"Ahem! I think what the district chief just said is very reasonable, this crisis is caused by the overall backwardness of military equipment and military science and technology, which proves the necessity of China's military strength to be strengthened urgently!
Ladies and gentlemen, it is urgent to increase military spending! The Minister of Defense glanced at the members of parliament present, and the meaning could not be clearer.
Everyone: "......"
Ni Mei! No wonder he was deliberately belittling the military just now! Just one day in office, did you get into the role so quickly?
At this moment, the intelligence chief, who saw that he was the only one left to be roasted on the fire, for fear of being burned by the three fires of the new official, also stood up.
"Your Excellency Minister, although our intelligence department will not be able to catch the driving force behind it in a short period of time, it is not for nothing!
Although the speed and scale of the march were somewhat beyond our expectations, it is not surprising that according to the assessment of our intelligence experts and psychologists, there will be calls for joint efforts against aliens at home and abroad after the events of the 'Doomsday Crisis'.
However, the effect of public opinion on such a scale around the world is not the effect that can be caused by a single force!
There is another important factor that is the cause of all this! ”
"Oh? What is it? The Minister of Defense asked.
"It's Mr. Albert's speech!"
"Huh? Oh...... I see! "There are no stupid people here, everyone is stunned.
Indeed, without Albert's provocative declaration of war, I am afraid that people's inner emotions would not have found such a precise target to vent, and the enthusiasm for war would not have been so high!
"What do you mean?"
"I think the people behind this incident should be the same force that tampered with our press conference speech! This is an organized, premeditated, and carefully planned battle of public opinion! ”
"So...... Does your intelligence department have any suspicions? ”
"Yes! The fact that the other party is able to silently tamper with the transmission files of our confidential channel shows that their electronic intrusion capabilities are very powerful!
From some clues in this incident, it is speculated that the driving force behind it is likely not to use conventional, such as financial support and other ways to promote the march and public opinion, but to borrow the Internet to guide the formation of a series!
It can be inferred from the commonalities between these two points...... At present, I can only think of the five major powers and the ......, which are famous for their electronic invasion capabilities Captain Ghost! ”
"Captain Ghost?!" The Minister of Defense's eyelids jumped.
"Yes, and in that case, the only one who can be sure that the bomb won't explode and make the next precise arrangement according to the situation, is Captain Ghost!"
……
"Your Excellency, you seem to have been exposed!" The code name said suddenly.
"Hmm...... As expected, from the moment I took the shot to solve the bomb, it can be said that it has become the focus of all forces! Even if the aunt next door loses a chicken, they will also think that I did it!
But now I know I don't know, for the result...... Does it have an impact? Nie Yun smiled nonchalantly and continued to get busy......
