Body 078.The battlefield is open

Kevin Lorraine, President of the American Community, is 69 years old this year, although he looks a little old, but by the standards of human beings in the 22nd century, he is actually in the prime of life, full of energy, looking at his resume, he can definitely be regarded as the darling of fate, he happened to be studying in England when the Yellowstone outbreak occurred, escaped the initial disaster, and then participated in politics with a pro-people image of concern for people's livelihood, good education, quick response, and sharp speeches made him step by step to the highest position in the country.

Just a few hours ago, President Kevin was personally directing one of the most glorious operations of his presidency: the complete erasure of the West Coast republics from the North American continent, when he could justifiably restore the name of the country to the "United States of America" – and with such a feat, he should be one of the greatest presidents in the history of the United States.

But now, the president sits in his office, staring at the big screen in front of him.

The battle was still raging on the screen, but the number of surviving tanks was more than half of what Major Aron had first entered the battlefield, and the voices of the soldiers during the battle or on their deathbeds kept coming out: "Steel 12, your position is too far back!" "Damn, the engine is finished...... Prepare for the last full launch! "How could Uncle Ben die here!" "Mom......" "You can't kill it all, these bastards!"

And what made him even more upset was that there were a lot of small pictures inserted next to the screen, which were signals from the earth's own territory - dozens of civilian unmanned broadcasters flew over from hundreds of kilometers away from towns that had not been affected by the war for live broadcasts, if it wasn't for the local garrison to find out and control it, the unmanned broadcasters parked around the battlefield may be ten times more now, and what is even more outrageous is that there is a small TV station that simply sent a broadcaster, although the host is still pale when he stands at least two kilometers away from the battlefield, Talking trembling, but the ratings of up to 30% are enough to make the boss have the idea that "it doesn't matter if the host dies here......

All the images that the world can see, all the voices that can be heard, now emphasize one thing: the soldiers who have bravely fought into the battlefield need support.

But President Kevin still couldn't make up his mind.

"It's not time, it's not time." He stared at the countdown on the screen, there was no one else in the room, but he was talking to himself, as if to give himself confidence, "Patience, patience......"

At this moment, the door to the room opened, and a group of people walked in, grim-looking, and President Kevin recognized the group as including the Vice President, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense, and even his own secretary.

"What's wrong? What happened? The president stood up and asked in as serious a tone as possible, "I should have said that I would wait for my orders......"

"Can't wait any longer, Mr. President." Vice President Schmidt interrupted him, "We have to react immediately, we have to go to the rescue of those soldiers right away...... Do you know how much support has dropped on the Internet right now? Everybody was asking, including my father, who called me to ask why we hadn't sent troops yet! ”

"Mr. Schmidt, it's going to be a terrible war, I think you know that." President Kevin glared at his deputy, who was fifteen years older than him, and thought that he would never have any ambitions, "We will have to pay a huge sacrifice to complete the alien assessment!" It's not just these desperate young men now, we may have to sacrifice ten or a hundred times more people to get through! ”

"Then why are we still standing still?" The Minister of Defense couldn't help but interject, "Your Excellency, all officers at and above the division level are sending urgent reports to the Ministry of Defense, and they are about to be unable to appease their subordinates!" ”

"It's because the sacrifice will be unprecedentedly huge, so it's not time yet!" President Kevin gradually clarified his thinking, "I need more public opinion on the Internet!" I want everyone to stop sparing their lives, to be prepared, to be desperate to go to war, so that we can understand when tens of thousands of people have died...... They will remember how unwilling we are to send these valiant soldiers to their deaths, and how we have wanted to save the lives of these lads until the last moment, until we have toβ€”"

The Vice President raised his hand and interrupted the President again: "With all due respect, Mr. President, now is not the time to think about this β€” Mr. Secretary Taylor, please repeat what you just said to the President." ”

Kevin Lorrain looked angrily at the Secretary of State who stepped forward - unlike the old man Schmidt, Taylor was his confidant! How can it be on the side of the vice president now? What exactly was the deal between the two men?

"Mr. President, I understand your thoughts, after all, I was equally supportive of your plan 24 hours ago." "But things are different now, Dr. Wright and Dr. Terez in Las Vegas have just finished their correspondence, and they admit that they are not ready, and their research and development results cannot catch up with the alien assessment." ”

"I know this, Wright told me before he went to the west that the latest contact proves that the alien assessment may be a year to a year and a half earlier than expected, which disrupted his plan, so the research department put a lot of research and development results into actual combat in advance during this time." President Kevin said coldly, "But what does that have to do with what you're going to say?" ”

"The reason why we want to show care for the military is based on the fact that we can definitely win this war, Mr. President." The Secretary of State's lips trembled a little as he said this, "But if we don't do our best now...... No, if the whole planet doesn't do its best, there is no chance of winning! Now it is not a question of how to win the hearts and minds of the people, but how to win! It's been a few hours since the start of the exam, Mr. President, we have no more time to waste! ”

"But if we rush to send troops now, it will only confirm our incompetence!" Kevin Lorrain blurted out, "Don't forget that it was we who presided over the liaison with the Ahmeds, and we asked for the second test, and now ...... Aliens come in at the right time, but we're not ready? Everyone will think that it is our stupidity that has lost the future of the earth! My friend, if this is revealed, we will be sinners on earth! ”

The Secretary of State stared at him and said bitterly, "We are already sinners, Mr. President. ”

Kevin Loren was stunned, realized something, and suddenly reached out to grab his former friend: "We still have a chance, we still have a chance to divert the world's attention...... As long as our offensive is strong enough in a few hours, with enough sacrifices, and with some propaganda, everyone will have nothing to say! ”

But the Secretary of State gently pulled his hand out of the president's clenched hands and shook his head: "Mr. President, I've been with you for twenty-six years, and I know too well what you're thinking now, and you're thinking, even if you lose the bet, the end of the world will be two hundred years from now, and it has nothing to do with us, right?" ”

"We have to take measures, and if you don't want to, Mr. President, we'll have to do it ourselves." Vice President Schmidt raised his hand, "I declare the initiation of an emergency vote of no confidence in the President, given that President Kevin Lorland will cause mortal harm to the nation." ”

"Schmidt, you!"

The Speaker of the House of Representatives raised his hand: "Yes." ”

The Minister of Defense raised his hand: "In favor." ”

The Secretary of State looked at President Kevin Lorraine, sighed imperceptibly, and raised his hand, "Yes." ”

Everyone in the room except the president raised their hands.

"Voted of no confidence passed, President Kevin Lorraine, you are temporarily removed from office under the constitution - guards, please watch the president, do not allow him to leave this room, and do not allow him any informational contact with the outside world until Congress makes a new decision!"

Four heavily armed meched infantrymen, all with bald eagle emblems on their breastplates, who had sworn to protect the president with their lives, had now become the president's caretaker.

Kevin ...... Stay here and watch and see how wrong we are. The Secretary of State pointed to the big screen, where the battlefield was still under fire, "and I'm going to make up for that mistake now...... Hopefully, it's in time. ”

On the streets of Baltimore, the Star-Spangled Banner is hung in almost every window, which must have just been downloaded and printed online. Gable walked down the street with a rifle, and there were many people around him with all kinds of weapons, greeting people all over the street, and from time to time someone formed a small group and drove out of the city, Gable knew that they were going to Nevadaβ€”although they probably didn't even know how they could help by going there, maybe they would regain their cool heads on the way and sneak back, but now, all of them couldn't sit still and wanted to do something.

Gable walked through a square, where many people were watching the live broadcast of the battlefield on the big screen, and suddenly someone ran over and switched the channel, which attracted a burst of scolding, but soon a message came out of the crowd: "The president's office is going to make a temporary emergency speech!" ”

Although the speech could be watched through webglasses, Gable, like everyone else, walked out into the square and gathered to hear what the president had to say so far.

"I can't believe I voted for Kevin Loren in the campaign." A man muttered to himself.

"Hopefully we'll have a chance to correct this mistake." Another already drunk black man.

But to everyone's surprise, it was not Kevin Lorain, who had been scolded and almost expelled from the Earth, who appeared on the big screen, but Vice President Schmidt. The people quieted down to hear what the vice president had to say.

"President Kevin Lorraine has been temporarily suspended from his duties as President of the Presidency due to unforeseen circumstances, and I have full authority to act as a substitute in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations." Schmidt is a gray-haired old man, when he lost to Kevin, many people think that it has something to do with his age of eighty, and some people even bet that he will die during his term of office, but now this old man stands up straight, and he doesn't even need a speech, "All the citizens of the American Community, as well as the compatriots of the entire earth's civilization circle, I believe everyone knows that the earth is now going through an unprecedented test." I must admit the fact that this test was what we wanted, but now it has become an uncontrollable accident. ”

"What does he mean?" Gable asked the man next to him.

"That is to say, this sudden alien test has nothing to do with them." The man said stupidly, "I knew it was so!" ”

"I would also like to admit the fact that now the situation has developed completely beyond our expectations, that our mistake could be catastrophic, and that we must now do everything in our power to make up for it, and for that we need to abandon all old ideas...... Citizens, compatriots, it's time to unite! Vice President Schmidt suddenly raised his voice, "I now order in the name of the interim acting president of the American Community!" All armed forces under the American Community, stop all military operations against other countries, and the commanders of all theaters of operations immediately send all the forces that can be mobilized to the Nevada desert to participate in the battle! Go ahead and fight with Major Chandler them! ”

The crowd erupted in earth-shattering cheers, everyone raised their fists in the air, as if this would spread their power thousands of miles away, Gable cheered and wept, screaming words that even he didn't know what they meant, and a thought echoed in his heart: "There is hope, we still have hope!" Reinforcements will be coming soon! ”

Schmidt's words are not finished: "At the same time, I declare the opening of the borders of my country!" I ask all governments that are in a position to do so, please send your troops, please show your strength to support us...... One country alone cannot save the planet, and I ask all the nations of the planet to fight side by side with us! ”

"Interesting, huh?" Borg took off his headphones, "The Alliance has finally opened up, I wonder how our side will respond?" ”

Zhao Yu snorted: "If you still pretend at this time, then you will be really stupid and hopeless." ”

"There's no denying that the big guys are shockingly stupid at times."

But this time the big guys aren't that stupid. A few minutes later, a supreme order was sent to the chariot: "All troops in a position to do so immediately go to the Nevada battlefield and fight at the same time, and at the same time remove the identification of friend or foe from the armies of other countries!" The only goal is to break through to the tower! ”

The radar screen flashed, and the red dots that originally identified the Alliance forces became green dots representing friendly forces in an instant!

"I thought I would never see the Union Army fighting side by side with the National Army in my life." Hunter muttered.

At this time, Christine's voice sounded in the channel: "Did you see the order? The National Army and the Union Army are no longer hostile! Wait a maximum of an hour for the nearest reinforcements to arrive! ”

"You're right, prodigy, there is no more hostility, our enemies are now only aliens." Borg replied, "So...... Why should we wait? ”

Hunter couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, while Zhao Yu laughed: "I knew you would say that, Captain." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What are you going to do? Christine asked uneasily.

"Fighting, of course, Christine." Zhao Yu replied, "We've waited here long enough!" ”

The battle spider, which had been quietly crouching on the edge of the battlefield, suddenly stood up, and several unmanned broadcasters turned the camera together, and saw the Deathbringer roar and crash into the battlefield!

"Hey, aliens, mad dogs are coming!"

=======================

Well, someone asked me why the bloody plot should be left to the Americans...... I think this kind of bloody and tragic thing should be left to the United States...... Pretty good......
