Chapter 126: Planetary Crisis
Rice country, Washington.
On the afternoon of 08-02-13, the weather was gloomy and a cold wind was blowing.
White House, Office of the President.
George W. Bush stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, his eyes cold as he looked at the crowd marching outside.
That was a new round of riots in the United States because of the ban on crossbows.
The marcher, numbering tens of thousands of people, braved the biting cold wind, despite the fact that their fingers were red from the cold, and still held long guns and short cannons equivalent to burning sticks, blocking the street in front of the White House.
Crowds gathered in Lafayette Park, next to the White House, where several opposition leaders made impassioned speeches, denouncing the government's inaction in the new year and the serious provocations that the government has suffered in the world.
When it comes to the sore spots, everyone beats their chests and tears are majestic.
The guards of the White House wore thick riot suits and used bulletproof shields to resist the pressure of the people, and the White House guards stood on a high place, holding bows and crossbows in their hands, standing indifferently in the cold wind.
This situation, like the current international status of the United States, is extremely embarrassing.
In this era of science and technology where hot weapons end the battlefield, do the soldiers of the United States use these poor bows and crossbows to defend the integrity of sovereignty?
This kind of scene that makes countless people laugh in the world is happening again and again in all countries of the state of Rice, and it has almost become a classic joke that people never get tired of watching.
The dignity of the country has since fallen into the mud.
The name of imperialism is now frowned upon even by some small countries.
Countless countries in the north and south of the country that people can't think of have suddenly become active, Canada, Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, Brazil, countless countries have learned to say no to the same country!
The disaster began in the heart, and after losing the ability to use strategic weapons in Mizhou, the problem of Mi suddenly became complicated.
Despite the fact that she still has the most advanced technology in the world, the largest war potential, the most powerful, well, no longer the most powerful production capacity, she is still a powerful country.
However, it is only a powerful country, and it is no longer the global hegemon who wields dollars and sticks and makes no one in the world dare to say no.
She is now like a noble and beautiful scientist, with a beautiful face, a well-developed brain, a status that once made people look up to the present but seems to be degraded, she can't help but covet it in her heart, and want to try it, but no one regards her as a sacred place that cannot be desecrated.
Perhaps, it's time to think about the new positioning of the United States in this world.
Bush slammed the window shut, the curtains were drawn, and all the frustrating scenes were cut off, as if they were in another world.
"You all go out first, I want to be alone for a while!"
After driving his entourage out of the room, he sat down and lay on the table weakly, his heart filled with unspeakable pain.
Mi country, just like that, declined during my tenure?
Non-war crimes, non-human crimes, who is to blame, that damn Indian?
He is now the famous lord of Mizhou, and many countries look up to people, and it is difficult for many heads of state to see each other.
The country of rice can no longer be its enemy, and this great country can no longer withstand his abuse.
There were a lot of strange emotions churning in my head.
It took him a long time to perk up, dig out a top-secret document, and read it from beginning to end.
"On the dilemma and solutions of the United States at the moment!"
"Report on the feasibility of replacing air transport with high-speed rail!"
"On the possible impact of the large-scale recruitment of professional soldiers on social order."
"The international competitiveness of the United States!"
"On the domestic and foreign implications of the depreciation of the dollar."
It's all terrible, heart-wrenching reports.
Just like the confusion and loss shared by everyone in the country, the government is now caught off guard.
The Jamaican monetary system, which has been implemented since 1974, has completely come to naught in the changes of less than half a year, and the US dollar has no longer been the transcendent status of the international settlement currency in the past, which has brought trauma to the United States, which can be described as two bans second only to Russell.
The lives of every Mi people have been deeply affected, and the quality of life has plummeted, which has led to more and more resentment in the hearts of the people and more and more dissatisfaction with the current government.
Bush reopened two new reports.
"Test report of a new cutting-edge laser weapon!"
"The latest advances in the miniaturization of electromagnetic weapons!"
Laser weapons have long been in the sequence of experiments and research of the Chinese people, but for many years, due to various reasons, the most important thing is the constraints and slackness of the arms tycoons, and has not been able to complete a series of problems in miniaturization, regularization, and cost control, so it has not been able to complete the service and installation.
The same is true for electromagnetic weapons, its charging and miniaturization problems have been a long-standing problem, once successfully solved, the United States will at least regain a strategic advantage on the Mizhou continent, and can break and cripple the groping pig hands stretched out by the neighbors!
The new models of laser weapons and electromagnetic weapons have been preliminarily finalized, and although there are still various defects, they are already a reliable weapon, and the researchers are vigorously applying for the installation as soon as possible and further research funds.
According to the tradition of the United States, this kind of application has always been not considered, and the new type of weapon has not been thoroughly studied, and once it is installed, it is very likely to cause a serious accident, and then the relevant personnel will fall into the handle, which is a stain that cannot be erased in the political career.
However, Bush did not hesitate to sign a presidential decree approving these two requests.
The United States needs such an advanced weapon that can be relied on, and the Chinese people need this exciting news immensely.
Finally, Bush opened the pages of one of the most important documents.
"Demonstration report on the operation of nuclear reactors and nuclear bomb experiments in the United States!"
Since Russell issued a ban on explosions, scientists in the United States have been very interested in one question: Can a nuclear bomb be detonated in Mizhou?
This is a very serious issue, and once this conclusion is reached, it is very likely to play a decisive role in the new positioning of the United States in the world.
Modern science and technology, up to now, has completely appeared a tendency to attack the strong and defend the weak, the nuclear bomb is the sword of Damocles on the heads of all countries, and everyone is shrouded in the threat of nuclear bombs.
The current international situation is, in the final analysis, nothing more than a nuclear balance.
The reason why wars are becoming more and more miniaturized is because no one can fight, and once a war breaks out between major powers, nuclear terror will loom over every country, and no one will be spared.
If it is not for the deterrence of nuclear weapons, and it is impossible to see if there will be a war of national extinction in this world, it is simply an inevitability.
Tens of millions of Indians, the indigenous inhabitants of Australia, and countless Westerners have illustrated their philosophy of survival with vivid examples, and plundering is their innate nature.
Therefore, there is an argument in the market that those who have nuclear weapons and satellite launch capabilities are big countries, those who have the same are small countries, and those who do not have the same are nothing.
With nuclear weapons, you have the bargaining chips to threaten others, and being able to launch satellites means that you can put nuclear bombs in people's beds at any time, so you naturally have the weight to speak.
Nuclear weapons are so powerful that they naturally make countless people tremble in their hearts.
Once there is definite news that the nuclear bomb cannot be detonated in Mizhou, then for Mi, it means that Mi will become the safest place in the world!
Guns cannot be used here, even nuclear bombs cannot be detonated, and if all cameras are buried in public places, as long as the proportion of people who maintain order is increased to a certain level, the country will become the easiest place to ensure personal safety.
Think about it, the rich and rich live in a luxurious villa with a few meters of walls and bulletproof glass, as long as they hire a certain number of security personnel, there is no worry about explosives, and there is no danger of nuclear bomb covers, the United States will immediately become the most livable place in the world.
After reading the report, the expression on Bush's face was indescribably strange, and he muttered to himself, "The nuclear reactor is operating normally, but the nuclear bomb cannot be detonated. Could it be that the United States really wants to embark on such a road? ”
In fact, if such an identity transformation is really completed, it is not a good thing for the United States, and the United States will become the world's largest financial investment, science and technology research center, and the world's longing for tourist attractions, which is not necessarily a good thing for the interests of the United States, but has the Chinese people turned this corner?
Even Bush himself could not turn this corner.
Just when he was thinking about this question with a headache and weighing whether to use it as a key factor in reconsidering the new national positioning of the United States, he was suddenly awakened by a knock on the door.
"Come in! Didn't you say that I want to be alone and quiet, and if there is something important that I can't wait for a while? ”
Bush asked with a strained face.
"Your Excellency, the Astronomical Observation Department has an important issue to report to you, it is said that the incident is top secret, Voyager 1 has observed something unimaginable, and it will be a major accident that will affect the safety of the entire earth!"
Bush stood up, his face full of astonishment, "Could it be that a comet hit the earth?" ”
It was only after Bush and a number of senior officials of the federal government listened to the exact reports of the relevant departments that they realized that the matter was even more serious than he had imagined.
"Give me access to the other four permanent members, and I want to get in touch with their top leaders, it will be a global disaster, and every country will have to contribute. The aliens are coming, the space battleship is coming! ”
He groaned silently in his heart, and let people not live?
