Chapter 0848 - Crazy President
In 2020, the only hegemonic power on the planet, after being tossed by a neurotic President Tang Yupu for several years, has intensified and moved towards the final madness of reckless militarism.
Backed by short-sighted American voters, Tang continued to wage trade wars and currency wars in an attempt to pressure other countries to pay for "America First," but the results did not bring other countries to their knees.
China, in particular, has always adhered to the bottom line and has always given a firm counterattack to the trade war and currency war provoked by Tang Yupu.
Other countries, from hesitating at the beginning to gradually catching up with China, have also resolutely resisted US bullying. In the end, although the trade war caused a sharp decline in the global economy, it was the highly open US economy that suffered the most.
Seeing that the quadrennial election season is approaching again, in order to win back the hearts of American voters who have repented of their mistakes, Tang Yupu has played the last card and exerted maximum pressure on China and Russia with the super-powerful military strength of the United States, in a vain attempt to make China and Russia bow their heads first, and then make other countries in the world bow down.
However, China and Russia are still unswerving, and Russia's arrogant and capable president has even directly threatened that the United States dares to act rashly and that Russia's thousands of nuclear bombs will blow up the entire United States to shreds.
China still maintains its commitment not to be the first to use nuclear weapons, but it has begun to deploy troops around China, and the United States dares to step on the red line.
In recent years, the global economy has suffered a heavy blow, the economies of the developed countries in the West have come to a standstill, and the United States, the initiator, and Japan, which is heavily dependent on foreign exports, have experienced economic contraction.
Of course, emerging economies are more vulnerable due to their relatively homogeneous economic models, and the impact is more severe.
For example, several rapidly developing economies in South America, South Asia, Southeast Asia and other regions have shown signs of serious currency depreciation and economic collapse.
Only because China has a strong government, more than one billion people who firmly support the government, and the long-term layout of the "Belt and Road", the economic growth has always maintained a range of more than 5%.
Even countries along the Belt and Road, as well as emerging African economies with close economic ties to China, have withstood this wave of economic downturn, led by China.
China and the United States are rising and falling, and their economic aggregates are not much different from each other. Therefore, the Chinese Foreign Ministry is full of confidence and solemnly declares that no matter what tricks the United States uses, China will accompany it to the end.
However, Tang Yupu seems to have really become a madman, and he actually privately convened his confidants and officials to discuss the need to launch a preemptive nuclear strike against Russia and China.
Even the most hawkish senior officials were frightened by the president's crazy proposal, but in recent months, Tang has searched for strange people everywhere and secretly attacked officials and congressmen who disobeyed him in ghostly ways.
For example, the speaker of the National Assembly repeatedly opposed Tang Yupu's policies, which effectively contained Tang Yupu, but a month ago, the speaker of the National Assembly suddenly fell ill with a strange illness, and the entire nervous system fell into confusion.
The most bizarre thing is that when the crazy speaker sees people, he tells people about all the mistakes he has committed in his life. For example, he violated several women, and in order to become the speaker, he slandered and framed several opponents, etc.
The minority leader also committed suicide in his home last week, leaving behind a suicide note detailing his crimes. The medical examiner confirmed that the minority leader had committed suicide and that the suicide note was indeed in his own handwriting.
These two incidents were exposed by a certain media controlled by the Don Lap family, which not only ruined the insane speaker and the leader of the minority party who committed suicide, but also shocked the whole world by the filthy despicability of American politicians.
Everyone knows that the Speaker and the Minority Leader are the last two lines of defense within Congress against the incumbent president, but there is no evidence that the incumbent president has anything to do with these two events.
However, most of the incumbent high-ranking officials knew very well in their hearts that these two things and eight achievements were the work of those strange people that Tang Yupu had collected in the past two months.
So no one dared to question the president's decision at the meeting that day, and only after the meeting ended, several executives took the opportunity to attend a certain banquet to get together to discuss countermeasures.
"Is our president crazy to carry out a nuclear strike on China and Russia?" The Minister of Defense spoke first, and an old face was already clouded by the president, "China and Russia both have powerful nuclear counterattack capabilities, especially Russia, once it suffers a nuclear attack, their fierce president will definitely not hesitate to carry out a nuclear counterattack, and when the time comes, thousands of nuclear bombs will be thrown, not to mention our United States, the whole earth will be shrouded in nuclear clouds, and all mankind will be destroyed!" ”
"But no, our president does everything without his brain, if it weren't for us people who have quietly wiped his ass openly and secretly in the past few years, I don't know what he would have tossed our United States and even the whole world into!" The president's chief adviser, who has always been tough on the outside world, also sighed.
"I think there's something strange about this!" The secretary of state, who was born in the intelligence department, furrowed his brows, he has always been obedient to the president, but this time he was also frightened by the president's crazy thoughts, "Our president is quite reckless, and he does things without any brains, you can be regarded as a madman, a fool, or even a psychopath, but he is greedy for life and afraid of death, how can a person who is extremely desperate for his life put forward such a crazy proposal to bring all mankind to extinction?" ”
"What do you mean......" The Secretary of Defense looked at the Secretary of State cautiously, knowing that the Secretary of State was one of the President's confidants.
"I mean, the president has probably been held hostage, even ...... His mind has been controlled! ”
The Secretary of State's remarks did not surprise the other senior officials present, including the Secretary of Defense and the White House Chief of Staff, who remained cautious and asked, "......What do you mean by Secretary of State?"
"What I mean, don't you understand?" The Secretary of State looked very excited, "I know you've been guarding against me, yes, I was brought up by the president, but who in this room was not nominated by the president?" Now that the president is completely insane, I, like you, try to stop him from going crazy! ”
"It's not that we don't believe you, it's just that ......" the vice president, who had been keeping his mouth shut, opened his mouth and let out a long sigh, "The strange people around the president are all found by the secretary of state, right?" We really can't afford to mess with those people! ”
"Who said I found it? Why don't you believe my words? "It's been so long since I've been out of the intelligence service, and although I still have a few of my henchmen in the FBI, ...... I can swear that those strange characters somehow appeared with the president overnight, and I have not been able to find their identities until now! ”
