O'Guanhai is still the president of the United States, and the current position of secretary of state has not been affected in any way.

Almost any order they gave was able to be executed as effectively as before, except for those related to Wen Ming.

After the U.S. Secretary of Defense rejected the order of the current U.S. President O'Guanhai to attack the Worthington Institute, the U.S. military's performance completely exceeded O'Anghai's expectations.

Even in the U.S. military system, senior military officials who belong to O'Guanhai's direct line or secretary of state, as well as the direct line of the Clinton family behind the secretary of state, at this time, they are like all betrayals and refuse to carry out the order to storm the Worthington Institute.

"The Washington Military District did not refuse our order, however, they were too far from the Worthington Institute."

"The Department of Homeland Security did not refuse our orders, but they only had a special operations team, and the rest were special agents, and they simply had no ability to break through the military blockade and enter the area where the Worthington Institute is located."

"Caro's men were confined to the encirclement of the Worthington Institute, and the C-187 sequencer, who was responsible for the encirclement of the Worthington Institute, was completely under the orders of the Secretary of Defense, and they refused to let Caro's men pass through the encirclement."

After a series of reports, Ao Guanhai's face was very ugly.

The authority of the position of president of the United States is really large, and he can even directly declare war on a certain country without the permission of Congress. All he needs to do is declare war, or even after the battle has begun, to communicate and debate with Congress.

For example, the previous war launched by the United States against Iraq was directly declared by the then US president without the knowledge of Congress, and a large amount of military forces were invested in the shortest possible time.

But there is a premise for this, that is, the secretary of defense in charge of the US military is on the same front as the US president.

Although the attack on Worthington Institute is an act on the American mainland, even if the Secretary of Defense refuses the order of the President of the United States, the President of the United States can directly mobilize the military through senior military officials under his control, or elite agents of departments such as the CIA and FBI, to directly launch an attack.

But when the Secretary of Defense sent a regular division to encircle the Worthington Institute, the President of the United States had to start a civil war directly. Otherwise, his people would not have been able to pass through that 'encirclement'.

It was originally used to surround Wen Ming in the Worthington Institute, and even the army that was ready to launch a strong attack at any time, but now it has become Wen Ming's umbrella.

The reason is naturally because of the kind of virus that Wen Ming said, which can destroy the entire human world in half a year.

When human beings have just experienced a zombie crisis and have not yet recovered their strength, the fear of this virus has prompted them to make their own choices.

"In other words, in these 48 hours, we can't attack Worthington Institute at all?"

Ao Guanhai's face has become very calm, and the matter has come to this, even if he is hysterical?

After calming down, he asked, "Can we only watch Wen Ming and use the potion researched by Worthington to kill those 8 people?" And then, spread this panic to the whole world? ”

Ao Guanhai's subordinates were also panicked at this time, because they all knew that the result that Ao Guanhai said was not the final result.

If the lethal effect of the virus was proved by Wenming in these 48 hours. Then, the House of Representatives will not conduct a detailed investigation at all, and will only pass the impeachment process against Oguanhai as soon as possible.

After that, the Senate will also announce the start of impeachment proceedings as soon as possible, and summon Ao Guanhai to confront Wen Ming under the auspices of the current Supreme Justice.

In this process, O's position will not change, but many of his powers will be frozen according to the constitution. If the trial is unfavorable to Oguanhai, then he will be directly expelled from the United States after the trial is over.

The same outcome is likely to happen to the current secretary of state.

That is, the time that they can really exercise the power of the president of the United States is only 48 hours. Once the impeachment process is actually initiated, even if they want to remedy, they will not have the authority to mobilize enough power to do so.

"We also have a way to remove the current defense minister and demand all the rights and interests of the deputy defense minister acting as the defense minister." One of O'Guanhai's aides said: "The deputy secretary of defense is on the same side as us, and as long as he can exercise the power of the defense minister, he can let the troops that are now surrounding the Worthington Institute directly attack." ”

"Even if the army commander refuses to carry out the order to attack, they can open the encirclement and our men will launch the attack."

The generals can refuse the orders of the emperor in the feudal period, let alone in a modern democratic society?

Wen Ming said to the world during the live broadcast, and also to those high-level officials in the U.S. military and the U.S. government who can see the live broadcast: "The public officials of a country should be loyal to the people of the country, not the temporary ruler of the country." ”

The so-called military personnel regard obedience to orders as their duty, and the emphasis is on the soldiers, not the officers, nor the senior officers of the army.

Moreover, even if those soldiers are willing to carry out the orders given directly by the President of the United States, how can the President of the United States convey the orders to them?

Call?

In the case of communication control, who can get information from the outside world except those staff offices and military commanders?

People who have access to information from the outside world, they will have their own ideas.

So Ao Guanhai hesitated: "Can you guarantee that the Deputy Minister of Defense will carry out my order to attack after taking over power?" ”

This question silenced those aides, although the current deputy minister of defense was of the same mind as them, but the former minister of defense was also of the same mind as them.

What's more, not to mention the Minister of Defense and Deputy Minister, even their aides, whose interests are tied to the current US President O'Ao Guanhai, as well as people in other positions, have their own ideas at this time.

If what Wen Ming said was true, in the process of launching a strong attack, let that virus leak, then would they also die?

Will their family and friends also die?

Ao Guanhai stepped down, and they had a big deal to change jobs, and even if they were implicated, they would only go to jail. But if you die, then there is really nothing.

There are also staff members who are really thinking about Ao Guanhai, saying: "We have four submersible strategic nuclear submarines, and it is impossible for them to have communication with the outside world. However, we can contact them with the final command and give them the latitude and longitude of the target. ”

The staff member took a deep breath and continued: "Mr. President, if you can open the black box, I think we can completely destroy Worthington Institute in five minutes. ”

The proposal left everyone present silent, horrified, and incredulous.

For large countries such as the United States, China, and Russia, submersible strategic-class nuclear submarines are standard.

These strategic-class nuclear submarines lurk in the sea all year round, let alone the detection systems of other countries, and even the high-level officials of the countries to which they belong cannot find their real location.

Their role is to determine the country that will attack after their own country has been hit by a nuclear attack, and then they will not hesitate to launch a retaliatory nuclear strike against the country that launched the attack.

This is the so-called second-strike capability.

Their commanders are truly obedience, and they will hesitate unless they bombard the White House. They don't hesitate to target other places.

But at this time, Ao Guanhai hesitated.

If he didn't destroy the Worthington Institute, he could still have a fight with Wen Ming, shirk responsibility, and even frame Wen Ming.

But if he had let people destroy Worthington Institute, it would have been true that there would be no three hundred taels of silver here.

The staff member who made the proposal said: "If we are worried about the leakage of the virus, I think we can use small-yield nuclear weapons, and I believe that no virus can survive in that environment." ”

Ao Guanhai is very entangled, this is an opportunity, but this opportunity may make him never have a chance again.
