Chapter 690: I'll Let You Die
The White House of the United States, an underground fortress.
Byron, the current vice president of the United States, sat down in his chair, and the people around him were equally silent, and this state of affairs has lasted for several minutes.
"Byron, you don't need to resign."
If this sentence is changed to anyone in this world, even if Wen Ming said it before today, it would not bring them so much pressure.
But after Wen Ming said this to Byron today, it means that Byron is finished.
Even Byron's cronies, before today, still hoped that Byron would be able to go further, no matter how bad it was, he would be able to get a good position in the new US administration, and they would continue to shine and continue to work hard for the construction of the United States, or to put it bluntly, continue to use their power to reap benefits.
Now, too, I am completely disappointed.
Desperate, because the words spoken by the head of District 51 were destined to become the words of testimony in court, and they were only directed at Byron, and they did not participate in this plan to 'murder Wen Ming'.
Where to go now?
Some people think so, but they can't find the right reason to leave.
"Your Excellency the Vice President."
Someone broke the silence and said, "I think it's important for us to know the details so that we can help you make decisions." ”
Byron came back to his senses after hearing this, and immediately said: "The existence of Area 51 is very secretive, but now...... I don't think there is a need for secrecy anymore. What Wen Ming said is the truth, Area 51 has indeed studied the alien called Megatron for nearly 70 years, and many of our scientific and technological achievements also come from Area 51's research on that alien. ”
"And let Area 51 activate that alien and attack Wen Ming...... It was indeed my order. ”
When this sentence was spoken, the faces of everyone in the audience changed.
There is still room for refutation in other people's testimony, but the parties themselves admit it, what else is there to say?
Originally, they wanted to give Byron ideas, in order to alleviate the consequences that Byron's 'cronies' need to bear, but now, they have given up.
Byron could also feel the change in the atmosphere in the room, and couldn't wait to explain: "But this is not for my own selfish desires, but for the United States." ”
After standing on the moral high ground, Byron said as if he had suddenly grasped hope: "According to Article 3 of the first sequence memorandum of Area 51, if there are 'alien' relics on Earth that are not in the hands of our US government, then we can use any means to contain them, destroy or obtain the 'alien relics' in the hands of other people or other countries. ”
"I chose to use this method completely according to the terms on the memo, you know, Wen Ming's understanding of aliens is not at all like the first day he knew about the existence of aliens. And how could the science and technology he invented, his incredible research results, be something that a human being can develop in such a short period of time? ”
"There must be 'alien relics' in his hands, and yes, I'm doing this for us America."
Once again, he was standing on the high ground, and Byron was not just telling those present, but also telling himself.
This must be bitten to death, so that Wen Ming will not have any way to find trouble for himself.
Moreover, how long can such a clear display of the level of understanding of aliens, and the rumors of 'starting' a war between humans and aliens, be arrogant?
There was already a way to keep himself, and Byron thought of a way to continue to 'solve' Wen Ming in an instant.
Yes, I must find a way to let everyone know that it was Wen Ming who took the initiative to provoke the war with aliens, and he is a sinner of mankind.
I have to say that Byron is still very 'clever', otherwise he would not have become the vice president of the United States.
But to the rest of the room, Byron's words didn't mean anything.
One of the staff members sighed and said: "Your Excellency, as you said, Area 51 was established in the forties of the last century, and given the world environment at that time, it is not surprising that there is a clause in the memorandum that you mentioned, because World War II was taking place at that time. ”
"Even in the '60s and '70s, we had no problem executing that memo, but it's the 21st century, and this year is 2012."
"Your Excellency Vice President, do you think that memorandum is still valid? If it had been made public before, would the council have been able to agree to that memorandum? ”
"If Congress disagrees, does it incumbent upon our American Constitution to guarantee it?"
After saying this, the aide concluded: "Your Excellency, whether this memorandum is valid or not, it is impossible for us to disclose the existence of this memorandum to the whole world, because to make it public is to say to the whole world that we have declared war on the whole world, and as soon as they find alien relics, we will immediately start a war." ”
There was silence again, and Byron stared blankly at the staff member who had carefully analyzed him.
Yes, it's the 21st century, how can such a memo exist, how can it be supported?
If President Roosevelt had signed this memorandum at that time, it would not have been possible to make this memorandum in the current environment. Even if it does, it will never be openly admitted.
And how can you rely on this memo to be protected?
It was at this time that someone rushed in and said, "Your Excellency Vice President, Teresa Roy went to Capitol Hill and he is telling all the lawmakers to go to the Capitol." ”
Byron, who was a little dazed, was angry when he heard the news, and he shouted: "What qualifications does he have to go to Capitol Hill, he is just a businessman, and what qualifications does he have to tell those councillors to go to the Capitol?" ”
The man who had just rushed in said with some embarrassment: "Almost all the councillors who were notified by Teresa Roy have set off, even if they can't be there, they ......."
The words were not finished, but the angry Byron was instantly deflated.
It's over, they're going to impeach themselves, how long will the impeachment process take?
Byron, who was thinking about the situation when Ao Guanhai was impeached, saw the face of the assistant next to him change greatly.
Then he heard his assistant say with a look of horror: "Your Excellency, the CIA people are here, and the Pentagon people, they ......."
Byron instantly felt short of breath, didn't he say that he would let Teresa Roy gather members of parliament and then start impeaching himself?
Why did the CIA and Pentagon people come?
Does the CIA have this power, and do the Pentagonists want a military mutiny?
Before Byron could speak, he heard a ringtone, which was his assistant's personal phone.
The assistant was originally going to hang up directly, after all, the current situation is not suitable for answering the phone, but when he thinks of the current situation, someone called Byron, maybe...... Picking up the phone and glancing at it, the assistant's face became very strange.
"Yes...... Smell! ”
Byron was furious again when he heard the name Wen Ming, but in addition to anger, there was also horror.
Wen Ming had already taken control of the parliament, if it wasn't for Wen Ming, how could Teresa Roy get all the councillors to follow the assembly order issued by him, a man who had not yet come to power?
If it weren't for Wen Ming, how could the CIA have the audacity to come to the White House?
If it weren't for Wen Ming, how could someone from the Pentagon dare to come to the White House?
"As I said, you don't have a chance to resign."
As soon as the phone was connected, Byron heard a demonic voice, the sound of a sniffing sound.
"The reason why I'm calling you this is to tell you not to try to resist, otherwise there will be many innocent casualties. Among them, even your family. ”
"Isn't it unbelievable that I would dare to threaten your family when I call you?"
"Isn't it that I'm not afraid that you will use call recording to get me in trouble?"
"I'm sorry, I did threaten you with your family, but you don't have any evidence."
"Trust me, you can't save yourself, and no one will choose to help you at this time."
"The only power you have now is to trade your life for the safety of your family."
"Yes, I'll let you die."
"Of course, as the vice president of the United States, I give you the power to choose the way you die, please cherish your power this time, because this will be the last time you use power."
