Listening to Lin Cheng's narration, he looked at the video materials provided by Lin Cheng as evidence again, the president's original dark face looked even darker at this time, as the most powerful person in the country, he knew very well what the situation in Lin Cheng's mouth would be like if it became a reality.

The man-made Decepticon army reappears in Chicago, and without the help of the Autobots, humanity can only solve the problem by relying on their own army.

There will still be a large number of casualties, and once it is revealed that the artificial Decepticon army was developed and manufactured by the CIA at the behest of the Pentagon, the people's trust in the US government will be reduced to a very outrageous level, but it is also an opportunity.

In the face of an upcoming election year, the president urgently needs to create favorable conditions to gain votes and approval for himself, and now, if he succeeds in resolving the catastrophe that is about to happen in Chicago, there is no doubt that he will be able to reap enough votes and support.

At the same time, if the friendship from the Autobots can be harvested on behalf of humanity, then the re-election next year will not be a problem at all.

"—what do you want to do?"

"I hope you can grant me the right to control the Gravewind Squad and thoroughly investigate the KSI Jianneng Technology Group, in addition, Harold Ettinger, who chose to betray humanity for his own selfishness, must also be arrested, preferably executed privately, this person will become the biggest black spot in the federal government."

After speaking, Lin Cheng waited for the president to make a final decision, and Lin Cheng's request also made the president fall into contemplation, at present, solving the crisis brought by KSI Jianneng Technology is the most important, followed by gaining the friendship and support of the car people.

As for the arrest and private execution of Harold Ettinger, the former director of the CIA and a rehired consultant, although it is not necessary, if this person's actions are exposed, it will inevitably cause a crisis of public confidence in the federal government.

"I take the liberty of asking, Mr. Lin, what would you do if I didn't agree to your conditions?"

After a short silence, the president raised his head, looked at Lin Cheng again, and asked.

"Quite simply, we have prepared enough evidence and materials that if you don't agree to my terms, they will be sent to the news outlets all over the United States, large and small, and we will use the power of public opinion to force the federal government to solve this matter."

"But on the other hand, after this matter is resolved, the Autobots will leave the earth, and even if humanity faces the catastrophe of civilization destruction again, the Autobots will not provide half of the support - so, this is the worst outcome, and the most helpless choice."

Hearing this, Lin Cheng smiled, the corners of his mouth outlined a cold arc, his tone was flat, neither humble nor arrogant, he had long anticipated the various possibilities that the president would ask, and made arrangements respectively, this is where he came to participate in this private meeting.

If the talks with the president fail, he will choose to force the federal government to make a choice through public opinion, but this is definitely the worst possible outcome, because after that, the Autobots will completely lose hope of remaining on Earth, and if he can, he will never do so.

Hearing Lin Cheng's words, the president fell silent.

After a long silence, he seemed to have made a decision, and Mr. President slowly got up and stretched out his right hand towards Lin Cheng again.

"You are very smart, Mr. Lin, you know how to fight for yourself on favorable terms, I think your ideas are beneficial for both of us, so, I will do my best to promote the result you want, and by tomorrow night at the latest, I will give you a satisfactory answer."

"I'm glad you made the right choice - when it's over, I can arrange for the Autobots to meet with you and take a group photo if you need to, and I think these photos, videos, should have a big positive effect on your approval ratings."

Lin Cheng smiled and reached out to hold the president's outstretched hand.

This is an exchange of interests after the end, and it is also a lock to the cooperative relationship between the two parties.

"I'm looking forward to it."

The president took Lin Cheng's hand and shook it gently, with a satisfied smile on his face.

After leaving the White House, Lin Cheng did not rush to find a luxury hotel to spend the night, but stayed in the drift body in the form of a vehicle all night, and the vehicle was parked outside the White House, mainly to prevent the president from saying one thing and doing another, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge with his backhand, and backtracking.

Although the Bugatti Veyron's cab is luxurious, it is always a little cramped, but fortunately, he has not been in a more difficult environment, as the minutes passed, the sun rose again, and the betrayal did not occur as he imagined.

At about nine o'clock in the morning of the next day, Thomas Lane, the chief of staff, personally delivered a document sealed in a brown paper bag, which was an identity document forged by Lin Cheng by the White House Office overnight, but because it was made by a government agency, it had full legal benefits.

"Rick Lim, Chinese-American, Director of the DHS Office of Intelligence Analysis, Full-time Advisor to the Division of National Security Affairs......"

The United States Department of Homeland Security, abbreviated as DHS, translates to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which is subordinate to the U.S. government's cabinet intelligence agency, and its existence is extremely young compared to the other sixteen intelligence agencies in the United States.

It was founded in connection with the Cold War, and after the events of 911, its functions underwent a major transformation, and it became more and more important, as a government function dedicated to dealing with various terrorist activities and man-made accidents, as well as natural disasters, and directly subordinate to the official residence of the White House.

For example, if you are transferred to the top of the CIA, it means that you have a relationship with Congress, if you are transferred to the top of the NSA, it means that you have someone in the Pentagon, and if you are transferred to the top of the FBI, it means that your work ability is very good and is valued by the top management of the FBI.

But if you move to the top of DHS, it means that you have a very hard relationship in the White House, and you can even say that you have the president himself standing behind you.

As for the full-time assistant to the National Security Affairs Division, who is directly accountable to the president, he is appointed directly by the president and does not require congressional approval at all, and DHS is also an intelligence unit directly under the White House, which also does not require congressional approval.

"Tut-tut, this is a direct transfer to the Homeland Security Agency agent of the Territory Blockade, and what about the matching ISAC and watch, don't you send it?"

Looking at the two work documents in the kraft paper file bag that were obviously made overnight, and even exuded the smell of fresh ink, Lin Cheng showed a strange smile on his face, this time, it was probably even if he received full support from the official residence of the White House in the United States.

Of course, this also means that the president has really made the right decision.
