Chapter 59 Compromised Okukanhai
At seven o'clock in the morning, Ao Guanhai was sitting on a chair in the White House office, and at this time a group of busy people were standing in front of him, some of them were security guards, some were secretaries and executives, and some were live broadcast staff.
Everything is in full swing, because in half an hour, he will be on the Washington TV Morning News, a live lecture about mutants.
Regarding the extremely egregious incident of mutants infiltrating the White House to assassinate the president, the White House has officially decided to express its position and send the strongest voice to mutants.
Ao Guanhai was staring intently at the teleprompter at this time, so that he could familiarize himself with the manuscript and avoid an embarrassing situation in the next live broadcast.
"Oh no, Mr. President, the morning news in New York has begun." And at this moment, his personal secretary suddenly burst in in a hurry.
"So what?" Ao Guanhai frowned, and said in his heart that I not only knew that New York was broadcasting the morning news at this time, but I also knew that Washington, San Francisco, and most other states and cities were broadcasting.
"But that's what they're playing." The secretary handed over his mobile phone in a panic.
"Just yesterday night, there was a horrific tragedy in New York, when a U.S. special operations team suddenly attacked a boarding school, causing heavy civilian casualties."
"it!!" Hearing this, Ao Guanhai's face turned white, and he snatched the phone.
Looking at the pictures in the news, Ao Guanhai's face gradually turned from white to red, and then from red to black again.
What was said on the news was even worse than he thought, and Stryker's attack on the Mutant Academy was not only known, but also successfully photographed.
The TV looped the ruined school and the children lying in pools of blood, some of which were even coded for being so bloody, such as the one that burst the brain and the leaking intestines.
At this time, Ao Guanhai felt that there seemed to be a voice shouting in his head, Stryker, this bastard is pit me!
Obviously has hinted that he should do things cleanly, Nima, this is called clean? The terrorists in the Middle East are doing more than you do.
And although it was also mentioned in the news that this is a mutant school, what about mutants, even some people who are disgusted with mutants will also side with mutants in the face of this tragic situation.
And based on Okukanhai's experience, this sentence must have been said deliberately, in order to provoke the anger of the people and sympathy for mutants. The people are sympathetic to the weak, and this news has obviously portrayed the mutant population as an image of oppression, and as for the assassination of the president by mutants, hehe, the people are forgetful.
Even the bigger ones will make up for the government's cruel oppression of mutants, which led to the mutants rising up to resist, anyway, it's all the fault of the damn government.
"Mr. President, some TV stations have already started broadcasting New York TV, and according to the information just received from New York, because of the soaring ratings, New York TV is preparing to rebroadcast it once after the morning news is over. And an expert program on this matter has also been urgently prepared. ”
"What about the Internet?" Okukanhai asked with a dark face.
In this day and age, the Internet is the easiest and fastest place for people to express their opinions.
"Mr. President, this video is currently going viral on the Internet, and it has been viewed more than 10 million times in a short period of time. And our White House government website, too, has collapsed because of the influx of angry people. ”
"These bastards!" Okuguanhai slammed his fist on the table.
You don't have to think about it to know what will happen next, of course, the TV station inside and outside the Internet, all of them are bombarding the government, and the final spearhead will naturally be pointed at him as the president. And his political enemies are naturally willing to fall into the well and pour sewage on him at this time.
Although Ao Guanhai's decision was made after careful consideration and the starting point was also for the interests of the people, it is obvious that those ignorant people will never appreciate it. They don't pay attention to this so-called school, which is actually a mutant training institution with private weapons, and even selectively forget the fact that the president of the United States was almost assassinated by mutants.
All they have in their minds is - ah, these children are so pitiful, the hateful government officials are really perverted fascists who kill a thousand knives, and the people have never been willing to take things for granted.
"Mr. President, will the next live broadcast continue?" The secretary on the side asked in a low voice at this time.
"It's a fart!" Hearing the secretary's inquiry, Ao Guanhai immediately roared angrily.
As long as you have a brain, you should know that if you get another bill against mutants at this juncture, believe it or not, there will be an anti-racism march of 100,000 people at the entrance of the White House tomorrow.
After all, although many people hate mutants, there are also many people who approve of mutants, and after today's news, those centrist sides will obviously be tilted.
"The situation at the school is currently under the control of S.H.I.E.L.D., and it is said that they happened to be conducting an anti-terrorist drill in the vicinity last night, and they arrived in time to stop the atrocity from happening. According to S.H.I.E.L.D., they are now calming the emotions of those who survived. ”
"God ~ Shield ~ Bureau!" Ao Guanhai gritted his teeth and said word by word.
Stryker decided to do something to the Mutant Academy that night, and you're doing anti-terrorist drills there, are you fooling me?
Okay, I just warned these guys yesterday, and today these guys made such a big news, which is clearly causing trouble.
"Pick me up at S.H.I.E.L.D. immediately!" Okukanhai gave an order to the secretary.
"Toot ~ Hey!" A few seconds after the phone rang, Nick Fury's voice came from the other end.
"Director Fury, I need you to explain this." Okuguanhai asked.
"Mr. President, are you talking about the Mutant Academy?" On the other end of the phone, Fury's leisurely voice came.
And Fury's understatement intensified Ao Guanhai's anger.
"Director Fury, I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer, and I will immediately complain to the World Security Council about it. Perhaps I should remind you that half of the funding of the World Security Council is provided by the United States Government. ”
"Of course, I know that, Mr. President." In the face of this obvious pressure, in the office of the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. at this time, Fury still looked very leisurely lying on the chair.
Of course, he knows the image of the US government on the World Security Council, and the reason why he can face Ao Guanhai so calmly at this time is naturally confident.
Playing with a file bag in his hand, Fury said slowly; "Mr. President, if I say that I already know the mastermind of yesterday's assassination, are you satisfied with this answer?"
"What? Tell me who the hell it is? Hearing this, Ao Guanhai's face changed, and the anger on his face quickly turned into surprise.
"The real mastermind is none other than Colonel Stryker, who instigated you to sign a military operation order."
Hearing this, Ao Guanhai's brows furrowed slightly, and after a while, he said in a somewhat dissatisfied tone; "Director Fury, let me make it clear that I'm not interested in your S.H.I.E.L.D. and military dog-eat-dog."
"Mr. President, let me also explain that the reason why I dare to say this is because I have absolute evidence, including Stryker's complete plan, and in fact just now, I have had this document sent to your secretary, and you can judge for yourself."
Hearing Fury's extremely serious words, Ao Guanhai was silent, and his hand had subconsciously clenched into a fist. "Stryker, this bastard, how dare you lie to me!"
Ao Guanhai was really angry, he knew that the military was not small in peacetime, but he didn't expect that the courage of these bastards would be fat to such an extent.
"Mr. President, if you want to pursue Colonel Stryker now, then you don't have to." Fury said calmly, and the hint in these words, he believed that Okukanhai would be able to pay attention.
"The most important thing now is that the information I have in my hand was sorted out with the help of mutants, so you ····· it, Mr. President."
"I see." Okuguanhai is not a fool, of course he knows what it means.
Being cheated like this by Colonel Stryker is definitely a shady piece of black history, and neither the people nor the government elite would want to let an incompetent person be president.
Whether it's about Stryker's deception or the Mutant Academy incident, he has to be careful about his reputation and political future.
"Director Fury, I want you to introduce me, I need to talk to the mutants."
