Chapter 120: The End of the Patriot

PS. Present today's update, by the way, pull a vote for the "starting point" 515 fan festival, everyone has 8 votes, and the vote will also give the starting point coin, kneel and beg everyone to support and appreciate!

In the west wing of the White House, in the cramped chief of staff office, the secretary of state's personal assistant was slapping the table with the chief of staff of the White House: "The secretary of state told Ambassador Huaxia that the president was investigating, but in fact he couldn't even make a phone call to the White House!" The president doesn't know yet! If the FBI continues to detain Xia Ming, Ambassador Hua Xia will send a note of protest! This is a serious diplomatic incident! ”

Of course the president knew, the chief of staff muttered to himself.

He didn't raise his eyelids and said: "The president is still in a meeting with the assistant for security affairs, at least for another hour, and the FBI is investigating in accordance with the law." If the Chinese ambassador wants to send a note, you can just go ahead. I suggest you prepare a little more Sorry, which will be used later. ”

"That's Xia Ming! God, you don't think ...... It's crazy! The assistant looked incredulous.

"It's not that we're crazy, it's that the world is crazy," the chief of staff shrugged, "we have to do something, and of course, as far as I know, everything is legal." ”

"Yes, what happened, it was purely an accident, and you don't know about it", the assistant sarcastically said: "Are you really going to fight with the Huaxia people?" Don't bring the Secretary of Defense, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Security Adviser to the White House? ”

"For Huaxia, Xia Ming is just a small scholar, and they haven't realized his value yet", the chief of staff said disapprerovingly: "That's right, he was very popular during this time, but it is not the heat of public opinion that determines the direction of the world, but our will." Even if the worst happens, as long as the president concedes to China on the national debt agreement, everything will be wiped out. ”

The assistant is still fighting: "This is not a simple matter of interests, Huaxia people value face more than us!" In front of the whole world, we have disposed of a Chinese scientist who is changing the world, how much price will we have to pay to appease the Chinese people? ”

"It's worth the cost." The chief of staff glanced at the assistant lightly, there were too many things that the other party could not touch, he could only say so much.

The assistant was about to say something, but the chief of staff's secretary knocked on the door and came in and turned on the TV: "Sir, I think you should take a look at this." ”

Seeing the live broadcast of FOX, the assistant exclaimed: "That's the San Francisco consul of Huaxia!" ”

Downstairs in the FBI's San Francisco branch, there was already a large block of media, and there were also media helicopters in the sky, and the camera was given to a group of people who were pushing in front of the door. That middle-aged man was none other than the San Francisco consul.

In the chaos, the consul shouted into the reporter's microphone: "You have detained our citizen Xia Ming for no reason, and threatened his life, I strongly protest on behalf of the Chinese government!" I have to see him right away! ”

The chief of staff was a little angry: "Damn it! Say hello to the FOX and NBC media outlets, and stop streaming right away! Let the San Francisco police take that consul away! No, San Francisco certainly doesn't want to take the blame. Let the consul in and let the FBI deal with him! ”

The secretary took the order to set it up, and the assistant gloated a little: "Even if FOX and NBC listen to the White House, CNN won't stop." And there's the BBC. ”

As soon as the words fell, the TV screen turned, and both of them were a little surprised, FOX should not have received the news from the White House. So obedient?

Seeing the converted picture, the expressions of the two froze at the same time.

"The New York Stock Exchange's trading system has suddenly malfunctioned, and the exchange is urgently evaluating whether to suspend trading, which could be the third trading suspension in NYSE since its inception."

The scene at the New York Stock Exchange has always been tense and orderly. At the moment, it is as chaotic as the vegetable market in the camera. The red and green words on the trading screen no longer have the same obvious change law as traffic lights, but a rapid brushing like a rampage.

"The homepage of NYSE's official website was replaced by hackers, convinced that the fault was the work of hackers. Linked to FBI detention in San Francisco. ”

The picture changed to the NYSE website again, with bloody red letters on the pure black background, "Release Xia Ming" in English, and the Chinese was: "If you want to fight, then fight!" β€οΌŒ

β€œShit!” The chief of staff scolded: "I have to tell the president right away!" ”

On the second floor of the FBI branch building in San Francisco, the big man was holding a water glass and was approaching Xia Ming.

Xia Mingpeng slapped the table, which made the big man scold, and taking advantage of this gap, he said coldly: "I also advise you, don't think that you can cover the sky with one hand!" You have no idea what's going to happen next! ”

As soon as the voice ended, the agent's phone rang again.

"Consul? Arrange to another room, treat well, and I'll solve it as soon as possible! ”

The detective didn't care to leave the room, and answered the phone in front of Xia Ming.

Then he cried out, "What? New York Stock Exchange!? ”

Yes, something happened to the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), and the original computer-controlled buying and selling program suddenly got out of control, and the stocks bought by A ran to B's account, and the stocks sold by B ran to C's account.

In just a decade or so, millions of transactions have gone wrong, and NYSE officials are urgently discussing whether to suspend trading.

It was supposed to be a no-brainer, but the technical department reported that it was a database glitch that would not be fixed for a while, or even the same day.

Although there are other exchanges that can be traded, even non-electronic, they have been hit hard. If closed, it would be the third suspension in NYSE history, and most likely the longest, with losses difficult to estimate.

NYSE is no longer comparable to the NASDAQ or even ChinaAMC's Haidu Exchange in terms of trading volume, but it is still the core of securities trading in traditional industries and financial industries in the United States, with an average trading volume of more than $50 billion per trading day. Not to mention the suspension for a whole day, the technical failure of the trading system six years ago, the three-and-a-half-hour stoppage, made countless people wail.

So the NYSE is still holding out illusions and hoping to solve the problem online.

The detective stopped the big man and asked, "You did it!?" ”

Originally, he thought that he could take everything into his hands, but he didn't expect that first the video, then the stock exchange. Xia Ming doesn't play cards according to common sense at all, and every card is an earth-shattering ghost. made him feel that he was not on the same level as Xia Ming at all.

"I'm here", Xia Ming spread his hands frankly, and ordered Xia Xiaoyan to touch the NASDAQ by the way.

This was his first backhand, having previously taken the time to "visit" the NYSE and NASDAQ, planting a Trojan horse in the database server of the trading system.

Although the protection of the securities trading system is stricter and more powerful than that of banks, it is not difficult for Xia Xiaoyan, a powerful EI, to sneak into the database to create some chaos.

"The NYSE system was outdated and fraught with bugs, and it failed six years ago. Actually, it was hacking, but they hid it. I suggested that they find Google to rebuild the trading system with EI, so that they can completely prevent hacking. ”

Xia Ming said very sincerely, if you use the EI parcel trading system, it is indeed impregnable. As long as EI's will mapping is complex enough, even it will take a lot of time to parse the complete will model before it can be attacked.

"Doesn't it have anything to do with you?" The agent showed him his phone, and the screen was a hacked page of the official NYSE website.

"Isn't that what hackers did? Oh. It should be called a red guest", Xia Ming sighed: "Look, this is the disaster you broke through. You think that the whole thing is nothing more than the use of a powerful state apparatus against one person. But where am I? ”

The agent's expression calmed down: "I don't believe that your Huaxia government will be so efficient and can make a decision to attack the NYSE trading system in such a short period of time." But it's nothing, no matter how big the NYSE loss, it has nothing to do with us. On the contrary, those financial dogs who are crying are the people we hate the most. It is glad to be able to heal them by your hand. ”

"Oh, it seems that your understanding is still a little biased", Xia Ming shook his head: "I don't think the Red Guest's target is only NYSE." ”

The agent raised his eyebrows, looked down at his phone again, and the corners of his mouth twitched, and the Nasdaq began to have the same glitch, but on a small scale.

"Alphabet is listed on the NASDAQ, Mr. Xia, you still care a lot about your stocks", the agent said sarcastically, but beads of sweat began to flow from his forehead.

"Look, you're nervous, as you said, you hate financial dogs, but it's the financial dogs and their lackeys who hold the country. I am confident that they will not sit idly by and watch their state apparatus get out of control and move in a direction that harms their interests. ”

Xia Ming said leisurely: "Moreover, are you sure that the disaster is only on the exchange? ”

In the Oval Office of the White House, the elderly president, who no longer had a few hairs on his head, put down the phone, looked at the chief of staff, and did not speak, because the other party's phone kept ringing.

"NASDAQ has also begun, and now we are already in a state of war with Huaxia, a cyber war! Originally, I didn't quite believe their statement, but now I believe it, this Xia Ming really has the ability to influence the whole world. ”

After the chief of staff pinched more than a dozen phone calls in a row, and finally there was no ring, the president said to himself: "I think my next choice will go down in history......

"Yes, you need a strong will and extraordinary courage," said the chief of staff.

The president tapped his knuckles on the table: "Old man, I know you're a more staunch patriot than I am, but what I need now is rational advice." ”

"No, what you need is a choice of goals, whether it is for the interests of the United States for the next century or for the next term of re-election," said the chief of staff. ”

"The question is," the president asked, "how great must a man be that his life or death will determine the interests of the United States for the next century?" ”

The chief of staff sighed, "It seems that you have already made a decision. ”

"Yes, although I believe in you, in those patriots, in the fact that getting rid of this person will bring great benefits to the United States in the future. But not only do we not enjoy the treatment of heroes, but in our lifetime, we will also bear the infamy that thousands of people refer to. All the disputes between China and the United States, all the turmoil, and the accusations will be put on our heads. ”

The president said bitterly: "And my current decision, when the United States declines in the future, will be remembered and scolded for not having the courage to do so." ”

"But that's nothing, the United States is on the right path, and there is a lot of work for me to do, and you're right, my choice is to secure re-election. It was a call from someone in the party, he told me. If the incident is not calmed down as soon as possible, the Republican side will cooperate with them without waiting for the Democrats to take measures......"

As if hearing the final ruling, the chief of staff was depressed, and he said depressedly: "If you make a decision with courage, I am not going to send you the public opinion analysis of the social relations consultant." According to the big data analysis of online public opinion, 92% of Americans believe that if it is not the FBI's own decision but your decision, then there must be something wrong with your spirit. ”

The president's eyebrows jumped: "What do you mean...... In order to convince Americans that my mental condition is normal......"

The chief of staff nodded heavily: "I'm afraid we'll have to make some sacrifices." ”

The phone on his desk rang again, and the president picked it up. The telephone line was stretched long, and after hanging up, he smiled bitterly: "There is a problem with the eastern power grid, and now 17 control centers have lost their ability to control, and five cities have begun to lose power." ”

"Oh, no! A power outage in the United States and Canada 16 years ago almost killed me! The chief of staff covered his face and said.

"If they were true patriots, they would have forgiven me," the president said, dialing the phone.

FBI Division, San Francisco. The agent's face became paler and paler, and he turned his gaze from the phone screen to Xia Ming's face, as if he wanted to find out what was related to Xia Ming, but he didn't find anything.

He gritted his teeth and asked, "Mr. Xia." Can you tell me, why did you say that the red guest would attack the power grid? ”

"You should ask me how this matter should end", Xia Ming was sure in his heart, and the second back hand was released. Although these American patriots control the state apparatus, what will be the consequences if the real rulers of the United States cannot sit still. Anyone with a normal IQ will have something to imagine.

The agent's IQ is obviously not low, so he didn't ask the big man to continue. There should be any special medicine in that cup, which cannot be detected by ordinary medical examinations. It is unlikely that he will be poisoned directly, most likely to create the illusion of some kind of illness and get him to the hospital to continue tossing.

"Well, to answer you this question. After the 2003 blackout, your U.S. power grid began to learn its lesson and gradually integrated the previously distributed power grid into a single unit. However, your states and cities have been arguing about the power grid control system, and have not established a unified management system, and many collaborations have to be completed through the external network. ”

"Although you have put a lot of effort into security, the security is not much stronger than that of banks and stock exchanges, as long as you bury sniffers and monitor the flow of data and control instructions for a long time, you can find vulnerabilities."

"It's actually a good thing, the power outage, everyone comes out of the office and home, breathes fresh air, basks in the sun, changes the mood, and is also a warning to your power grid. To ensure security, you must either build a unified intranet or choose EI for protection and management. ”

Xia Ming suddenly became verbose and talked about the situation of the U.S. power grid in detail, because he found that the agent's expression was a little abnormal.

This tirade did not get a response from the detectives, and even the big man was a little surprised.

Seeing the agent gritting his teeth, his eyes gradually turning firm, Xia Ming realized that this was a critical moment, and this guy was going to take a risk.

At this time, he couldn't care so much, and was about to use his ability to kill with his mind again through eye contact, when he suddenly sensed it and suddenly threw himself into the corner.

"For America!"

The detective shouted in a low voice, and as soon as he pulled out his pistol, he popped twice, and there was a bloody hole in his forehead. The bullet pierced the brain, carrying a cloud of blood and brain tissue, staining the white wall with a blooming scarlet flower.

The other sound was on the big man, who was facing the window sideways, and the bullet came in from the left temple and from the right, splashing a little spark on the iron-clad door.

Xia Ming shrank in the corner, and when he saw the two of them killed at the same time, he realized that the target was not him.

I'll just kill it!

After confirming that the sniper was not aiming at this side again, Xia Ming stood up.

The agent sat down in a chair with his head tilted, blood running down his forehead, splitting his face in half. Both eyes were still open, staring vacantly at the ceiling.

"By the way, I don't know what your name is?"

Xia Ming muttered to himself: "It's a pity, I can only call you nameless." Mr. Anonymous, I didn't even expect such a thing. ”

[It's about to be 515, I hope to continue to hit the 515 red envelope list, and the red envelope rain will be able to give back to readers and promotional works on May 15. A piece is also love, and it must be better! (To be continued.) )

PS: Today, I watched the American team go three times, and by the way, I put half a day of wind, ^.^, only one more.
