936 A credit card, destroying America

"At 20:38 on December 19, UAE time, Prince Chardunke, who was visiting Afghanistan, was assassinated, and an armed riot broke out in Dubai. This is a serious political incident that is no less serious in nature than the Sarajevo incident, and if it were to affect the whole body and stir up the regional situation in the entire Middle East in normal times, it could even lead to a direct conflict between the largest forces of the East and the West. It's just that at this point in time, no one will pay attention to such a trivial matter. I know that's not what you're here to hear today, but there's an interesting detail in this matter that needs attention. ”

"That is, the method of assassination can be said to be unbelievable - Prince Chardonk was stoned to death. ”

The U.S. Congress is all in one place.

A huge and extremely serious decision was before all the dignitaries of the United States, and in order to determine what to do, the lawmakers decided to hold a consultation session. And at the center of everyone's attention, a standard American in his forties is talking. As far as congressmen are concerned, he can be regarded as a young man. The screen behind him was constantly showing the first-hand information and pictures he had obtained, detailing the results of the investigation before and after the incident.

"The attack originated from the top of the Burj Khalifa, and the weapon was a trebuchet. ”

"Guys, a trebuchet!"

"This old toy, which has long been submerged in the tide of history, this thing that has no range or accuracy at all, and which has not been seen since the gun revolution, is the weapon used to assassinate Prince Chardunke. An eight-ton boulder was projected from the top of the Burj Khalifa Tower, spanning a distance of 7.2 kilometers, accurately smashing the moving Prince's convoy into the square. Armor plates, protective layers, explosive-carrying structures, etc., were all crushed into iron sheets under this blow. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, if we were to plan and execute this assassination in the United States, it would take a lot of resources, a long time, careful preparation, and there is no guarantee of success. Because the longer and longer a secret plan is prepared, the more likely it is that it will be compromised by leaks. With Prince Chardunk's security level, it would not be easy to assassinate him. But now, there is no need for any special preparation, a trebuchet with a big stone, several Chosen People of different levels, do what they want to do with their heads, and then do everything as if they were playing. ”

"Shanghai, London, Dubai, it makes me think, maybe one day it will be Washington's turn, my turn. ”

"As my bodyguard, my security team has been thinking about one question: how am I going to die? I've seen the list of long-range sniper headshots, bones blown up by explosives, foaming at the mouth by poison, gutting with infrasound, and even special allergic reactions. They worked around my possible death, and they protected me well over the years. But I think their list is far from enough. A stone from seven kilometers away is more likely to kill me than a sniper rifle with an accurate range of more than two kilometers. ”

"What the hell are you trying to say?" said an elderly congressman who didn't like to hear him, and said sarcastically, "If you're just expounding on the 'Chosen One Threat Theory,' then Mr. Zade, you can take a break, this kind of clichΓ© is familiar to everyone here." That's not what we're going to talk about today. ”

"No, no, no, I'm not talking about empty threats, I'm talking about you, Mr. Mileson, and your death may be ingenious. We all know what you've done in the North, and we all know what your whole family has done in the North. The Chosen One appears randomly, so there are not many Chosen One in the north. Let me think about it......" The congressman surnamed Zade pretended to think for a moment, and snapped his fingers: "An Indian boomerang? I wonder if your security team has considered how you died if your head was cut off by a boomerang?"

"That's enough!" Congressman Malson slapped the table angrily, but the man surnamed Zade completely ignored him, and instead looked around the audience and said loudly: "We can no longer ignore and underestimate the threat of the Chosen One! This time the Dubai Catapult gave me a bad association, and I suddenly found that the biggest threat to the Chosen One is not the various supernatural powers, but their large or small personal space!"

"A hot air balloon, two chosen ones, not afraid of the cold and not afraid of air pressure, 20,000 meters above a wave of the hand, a few more than ten tons of stones fell ~~~ fell and smashed on the roof of the Capitol, and then all of us had to finish. How much does that cost add up? I'll give you my credit card and easily buy a hundred hot air balloons, 10,000 big rocks. Capitol, White House, Pentagon...... If you do the math, a credit card will destroy America. ”

A young parliamentarian stood up excitedly and retorted loudly: "You are alarmist!"

Another veteran MP also chimed in: "Councillor Zade, don't flaunt your sense of humor. As you said, it is true that today's candidates may pose some problems, but we cannot ignore the positive effects they bring. Not to mention non-replicable things such as items and technologies from other worlds, the personal space you just talked about can greatly speed up the progress of various cutting-edge projects if you make good use of it. ”

"Think about it, how many rockets did we need to build a space station in the past? Now we only need to send a few people up there - oh, and considering that these people are often skilled and more tolerant of extreme environments, the life support system can be greatly simplified, and the amount of one load can be increased several times. In addition, the delicate equipment in the carry-on space can be perfectly protected from accidents, and the cushioning system is also saved. ”

"Think about it being possible to build an entire high-tech space station with a single rocket, or to launch a large number of satellites at a very low cost. Communications, scientific research, exploration, espionage, all these aspects will bring about huge leaps and bounds. So, I don't think it's necessary to panic too much about the Chosen threat. If we can work together, we can create greater and more far-reaching value. ”

Congressman Lao Cheng's speech made many parliamentarians discuss in low voices.

However, the Zade family's councillor immediately opened his mouth with a mocking expression: "You are right, Mr. Spike, cooperation can achieve greater benefits. But the question is, who is the beneficiary?"

"The Chosen threat? No, no, no, that's not a threat, it's something that will happen. From an individual point of view, the Chosen One is a serious threat to social order. On the whole, the Chosen One, as an emerging force, will definitely, inevitably, and absolutely challenge the old forces and will definitely move the knife against us. ”

"The relative calm of the previous days was just an illusion. The Chosen ones have not yet gathered enough strength to maintain a semblance of peace. Jumping around on the urban stage one by one, like superheroes in comics. But now, folks, the assassination of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, the death of Prince Chartonke, and most crucially, the catastrophic consequences of the events in Shanghai, speak for themselves – some people are ready to show their fangs!"

"And when they're really ready to do itβ€”" he pulled out his credit card, "and that's enough." ”

"A bunch of nonsense ......"

"Makes sense......"

Immediately the halls of the Parliament began to buzz and quarrel, and all the members of the parliament had their own opinions. Seeing this, the speaker opened his mouth to stop: "Silence, silence!"

Congress quickly quieted down.

The Speaker nodded to the side, and the member surnamed Zad saluted and stepped down, and an old man with white hair like an old professor walked up to the stage.

The white-haired old man had a calm momentum, and after slowly scanning the circle, he opened his mouth unhurriedly: "Gentlemen, this topic is not what we are discussing today, and this topic has been discussed enough in "X-Men". Cooperation or hostility is not something that we can decide on our own. Whether it is cooperation or hostility, there must be a basis. ”

"The basis of cooperation is mutual needs and a stable political structure, but unfortunately, first of all, there is no leader of the Chosen One like Professor X in this world for the time being, and the vast majority of the Chosen One are in their own primitive ecology, even if we want to cooperate, we can't find a real cooperation goal that can solve the problem. Second, if there are such leaders, I'm not sure they really need us. ”

"People who are intoxicated by the power of the individual are always arrogant and blind. I've tried to get in touch with some of the so-called top eight in the world, and unfortunately none of them have taken me, the former secretary of state, seriously. My team has studied their mentality, and in their eyes, money and power are worthless, and only power gives all glory to themselves, a very common trend among the Chosen One. ”

"On the other hand, hostilities are based on the necessary hostile tendencies and adequate intelligence. Before we go to war, we must always know whether the other side is our enemy or not, what our enemy is, and whether we can defeat it. ”

"So, we now return to the most important issue that we have summoned all the gentlemen to study todayβ€”the Black Death Emperor. ”

A satellite map of the United States was displayed on the big screen, and a striking red dot was flashing and disappearing not far from the west coast of the United States. The white-haired old man pointed to the red dot: "Everyone, we don't know why that Black Death Emperor came all the way to us, but he is already imminent. According to current trends, he will set foot on American soil from California in three days. ”

"Whether it is war or peace, how to respond, everyone, we need to make a decision immediately and come up with a plan immediately. ”
