Chapter 50: Jumping

At the end of 2015, it was just over Christmas. The land of the Republic of Mirijian is still immersed in the carnival of yesterday.

However, in the office of the director of NASA headquarters in Washington, D.C., the atmosphere was a little tense, and Director Kevin Powell took the report he had just received in his hand, pointed to the information displayed on the screen of a small portable monitor, and asked his secretary general Katherine unceremoniously:

"When did you get the news? Why didn't you hand it over to me sooner! ”

Catherine is a blonde and blue-eyed elderly woman with obvious Germanic ancestry, who has served in NASA for no less years than Powell, and has seen too many ups and downs.

"Dear Mr. Director! In fact, this report has just been forwarded, and you hardly expect your fellow guys to react quickly. ”

Oh? As soon as Powell heard this, he immediately understood what Catherine meant, and his subordinates were now becoming more and more bureaucratic and afraid of responsibility. Suddenly encountered such a major news, if you don't discuss it, thoroughly investigate the situation, and prepare certain precautions, how dare you poke the matter to him!

He quickly regained his mood and asked again:

"Well, Catherine, you mean it's true."

"Yes, sir, if you will ask my opinion!" Catherine remained expressionless.

"Then how many people know about this news now, and has the scope been effectively controlled?"

Powell immediately asked,

Catherine replied in the affirmative, everyone still knows the importance of this. Knowing that when encountering this kind of problem, what should be the first thing to do?

Powell nodded, relieved, he put down the electronic file in his hand, put his finger on his forehead and rubbed it gently, and made a thinker's posture: this matter is so important, so important that even a person as powerful as him has to think about it in this way if he wants to make a specific decision.

What to do?

Escalate the matter directly to the president? No! This is obviously a bad idea.

In fact, it is more inconvenient to poke many things to the president, and the White House has now been infiltrated into a sieve by the media, and once anything enters there, it is equivalent to entering all the newspapers, broadcasters, television stations and online media in the country, and in less than half an hour, everyone around the world will know about it.

At that point, it's still time to talk about how to come up with ideas! What other actions are being taken? Once this kind of thing is leaked to the public, it is almost certain that it will disturb the social order of the earth and the world will fall into chaos in a short time.

The media may not do anything else, but fanning the flames and using public opinion to rape the government, this is their specialty! As for social responsibility, do media reporters still have such a scarce thing as social responsibility in their minds?

Powell knows very well that what the earth needs most now is the unity of all forces, and the need for the government to maintain a strong executive capacity, only in this way can we face this common crisis of all mankind!

Save the planet? Not everyone can do it! A wry smile escaped from Powell's lips.

The next thing he did was quickly make a few phone calls and communicate with some people properly.

What he communicates with is the privileged departments that NASA most often deals with, and in fact, these talents are the backbone of the Mirijian Federation, far more reliable than the places that the White House has changed in the past few years. Privileged departments like the FBI and the NSA are always ready to act, and their execution is far from comparable to that of the president's staff.

I have to say that these people are in such a position, and they are all the same as Powell, at least they do have a sense of responsibility, even what Powell said is so outrageous, everyone can also give respect, do full exchanges and communication, and quickly have their own judgment. Eventually, Powell came up with documents and persuaded the men to take action.

In fact, according to the current government system, these people must be completely violating the rules in this way, which is equivalent to privately colluding without approval, trying to mobilize forces that should not be mobilized to target the public! But at this time, who cares about these things?

After receiving Powell's call, several powerful federal agencies quickly took action, and the FBI, CIA, NSA, began to act in accordance with their respective emergency procedures. The efficiency of these units was indeed worthy of the privilege of the institution, and it was not long before the entire United States and the world were under total surveillance, almost without the knowledge of the whole world, and at this time, the scale of the operation was not even authorized by the president.

More than eight hours later, when His Excellency the President, the owner of the White House and the ruler of the entire free world, finally reacted, only to find that the entire United States had been out of his control, and his subordinates were secretly plotting to rule the world.

"What's going on? Johnson, I need an explanation! The furious president immediately called the head of the FBI through a special line, and after some urgent communication, a special bulletproof convoy drove straight into the White House, bringing the president out, all the way to the top of the road, in satellites, planes, armored vehicles...... The journey was accompanied by the most strict security measures, and he was tracked all the way by the media reporter's helicopter and led him to a grand underground base hidden in a cave.

Here, he was surprised to see almost all the most important people in the country, FBI, NSA, CIA, DOD, as well as DoS, DoT, NASA, DARPA, etc., almost all the heads of government power departments that can be touched by some connections are sitting here, as well as the gray-haired and respected speaker of the Congress, and the controllers of finance, energy and other departments are also sitting here.

At this moment, on the large round table in this conference room, there is no doubt that the most core power on this planet has been concentrated! If terrorist organizations were able to squeeze in here to carry out terrorist suicide attacks, he would definitely get his wish, and basically achieve the goal of destroying the world with a single blow.

At this moment, they were trying their best to tear their throats and quarrel, the atmosphere was chaotic, and the whole room was like a world war, until the gray-haired old speaker knocked on the table vigorously and shouted that Mr. President had arrived, so that the conference room finally quieted,

Under the stern gaze of Mr. President, his Secretary of State, Michael, first came up and explained to the President:

"Mr. President! Today we are here to discuss the question of how to save the planet! ”
