According to eyewitness accounts, the alien invaders had engaged the Coalition forces, and the alien spacecraft dropped devastating weapons on the ground, after which a large explosion occurred over the Atlantic Ocean 2,000 kilometers offshore, with a force of 5 million tons of T N T equivalent, enough to destroy any large city and kill tens of millions of people. So far, the coalition has not officially released further details of the attack. ”
Barton changed his TV channel.
"According to the latest social media popularity statistics, the topic of alien invaders soared to the first place with the occurrence of the terrorist incident in New York, and the scenes caused by spaceships, full-coverage armed alien invaders and nuclear bomb explosions were recorded by those who witnessed the incident with videos and photos and posted on the Internet, these materials caused a global sensation, interstellar wars, human doomsday remarks spread wantonly, public opinion control by local governments has completely failed, and billions of human beings shrouded in the black fog of terror are worried about the future of this planet."
"Affected by the terrorist attacks and nuclear explosions in New York, the global financial market suffered a heavy setback yesterday, with the fear index ETF rising by more than 200% in a single trading day, and gold futures hitting a ten-year record high......"
Patton turned off the television, and all the media outlets where information could be obtained spread the unprecedented panic caused by the New York attacks.
Hundreds of casualties.
The Albert Experimental Campus was damaged.
Space crystals were stolen.
The alien invaders have completely demonstrated their ability to destroy the civilization of this planet, and then disappear without a trace, and can drop a nuclear bomb that destroys the world at any time and in any place.
To make matters worse, some are gone in this battle and will never return......
And the fate of this planet is moving in an uncertain direction.
The Parliament of the Union was convened urgently, with the participation of representatives of all regional governments and the military, because action must be taken to safeguard the survival of civilization for all mankind.
The new member of the coalition council, Congressman Fox, took the podium.
"Hello all the representatives of the government, the representatives of the coalition forces, the parliamentarians, and all the gentlemen and ladies, I come to this podium with a heavy heart, just yesterday the invaders from beyond this planet once again attacked, the flames of war burned to the temple of human science, hundreds of innocent civilians were killed and wounded, they once again demonstrated the brutal power that can destroy humanity, a nuclear bomb hundreds of times more powerful than the Hiroshima atomic bomb exploded over the Atlantic Ocean, this nuclear bomb would have completely wiped New York City from the face of the earth, Captain Kevin, a special operations unit of the Union Army, saved the disaster and saved tens of millions of people, he is a superhero that we all believe in, but unfortunately, in the end, our hero paid with his life! But the catastrophe did not end there, but just began, the space invaders fully demonstrated the scientific and technological power far ahead of the earth, the intention to exterminate mankind, he could drop a second nuclear bomb anywhere on the earth at any time, and everyone lived in terror. We are facing the most threatening of enemies, and in the not-too-distant future, they may bring a dense space fleet that spreads over every inch of the sky, when we will not only face a vicious battle, but a slaughter. Therefore, today, starting from today, between countries, it is time to stop the war, between nations, it is time to reconcile contradictions, all of us, regardless of profession or color, it is time to unite together, a community with a shared future for all mankind, to take action, to survive and fight for tomorrow! We ......"
The people in the council held their breath until Congressman Fox finished his speech and burst into applause.
Uniting to defend against the aggressor is the only way out for all.
"Councilor Fox!"
"Councilor Fox!"
"Excuse me......"
……
Reporters raised their hands to ask questions from the audience.
"Give the microphone to this Mr. Reporter," Fox said to the staff, gesturing at him.
"After the successive attacks on spaceships, we all know that the coalition was well prepared and took military escort actions, but there was still a terrorist attack in New York, as one of the new council members, do you think this is a failed operation, and what is the next step to protect the safety of this world?"
Fox leaned forward slightly, leaning closer to the microphone: "Mr. Reporter, as a member of the Alliance and a fighter for human peace, I regret that we did not protect every civilian, many innocent people were killed and injured in the incident, and we do not have a time machine to go back in time to save these people's lives." And as a human being, an ordinary person like you, my feelings are very sad, because there is a hero who died in this operation, he did not have to face death, but because of duty, justice and compassion, he fought for this world. We can't define it by success or failure, because we see that there is something in human nature that is beyond success or failure. But guarding this world is the most real problem we are facing, there is an unprecedentedly powerful and deadly enemy, we must unite everything, all the countries, all the races, all the camps on this planet, even if we have had contradictions or hostilities with each other, it is time to put aside these narrow prejudices and hatreds, because we have a common enemy, which should be far closer than one glory and one loss, and we need to face the survival of all mankind together. ”
Congressman Fox's answer made the attendees go from emotional turmoil, to an uproar, to a calm face of reality.
"Congressman Fox, do you mean that you should cooperate with a hostile military organization like the Hellfire Legion?" , the reporter continued to ask sharp questions.
"Hostility belongs to the world of the past, and now it is not only my personal opinion, the Council has listened to the will of the present and is ready to urgently put forward a proposal for joint military action, which will be voted on in Parliament, and all citizens have one vote to decide their own destiny."
"So how will the Coalition deal with the historical feuds between the two sides, Mr. Councillor?" , another reporter next to him grabbed the microphone and hurriedly asked.
The staff present motioned to the reporter to follow the order of the question, but Fox still replied: "There have been many conflicts between the Hellfire organization and the Alliance, but in the recent period, we have not ignited more wars with each other, many people can appreciate the benefits of this kind of peace to the world, in the history of mankind, peace and war are never eternal, the two sides are fundamentally, only ideological and political differences, the Alliance has never been warmongering, As always, we are committed to continuing peace and uniting each other. ”
"Mr. Senator, ...... then"
"What is the attitude of the Hellfire organization......
More reporters got up from their seats and asked questions of lawmakers.
The alliance and Hellfire will consider carrying out a joint military operation, which will profoundly change the global military and political landscape, which is definitely big news that shocks the world!
The reporters present began to lose control, and the staff of the meeting decided to end the media interaction.
"Sorry, today's media question and answer session is over."
"Excuse me!"
