Chapter 227: The Age of Molaring and Sucking Blood
Estimated casualties of close to three million people.
Walker was reluctant to believe it...... No! That's a bit too lightweight.
- It's him! I don't want to believe it!
No president of the United States can afford to have a casualty figure of this magnitude!
No!
Roosevelt in World War II was not good, Lincoln in the Civil War was not.
Not even the man who built this country, the fucking Washington himself who likes to pull out the teeth of black people!
Walker stared blankly at the empty presidential chair and tugged at his tie blankly.
Three million casualties.
When this number was multiplied tenfold and appeared on the land of Europe, the United States did not feel anything.
Because they are too far away, the government of the United States will not focus on reporting the news that hurts the market.
So the generally refined and self-interested people of the United States feel little.
But when it appeared in Washington...... What is this concept?
That's three times the total number of casualties in the United States during World War II!
Ten times the number of deaths!
And all this is according to what the white hall mirror said...... Will it happen in the next few hours?
President Walker on the small bench, his slender fingers gripping his hair fiercely.
At this time, he was under tremendous pressure that was unique among the presidents of the United States.
Roosevelt, Lincoln, Washington, the darkest moments of the three of them combined are not half as devastating as he is at the moment!
But...... He can't escape.
The iceberg is right in front of you, and it is not the big ship of the "country" that can be given the gift of the Lord and automatically bypass it.
The strong mind that had been cultivated since childhood was brought to the extreme by Walker at this time.
He steadied his thoughts, and although his eyes were still flustered and distracted, he finally came back to his senses.
"I'm going to exercise the powers of the president." Walker swallowed nervously and said to the White House butler, who was already limping to the ground under the news.
He had never felt his throat so thirsty in his life.
"I'm going to call a council urgently!"
Meeting, yes. Meeting.
A meeting is needed in this urgent time.
Meetings are the administrative foundation of all countries.
Many people don't like it, and even spit on it as "a cumbersome program that wastes time and lives and keeps people spinning in circles".
But even a military junta, which is streamlined to the extreme, dictatorial to the extreme, needs a meeting of several people when they launch an action to oppress the people.
Human power came from teams for tens of thousands of years.
Without the support of the team, even if he has the blood of the most noble royal family in the world, he is more powerless and fragile than the ants in the barren mound.
And the role of the conference is to eliminate differences and unite ideas.
To put it simply, a meeting is the process of "forming" a team.
Exclusion from meetings is like exclusion from socializing, and it depends on the individual's choice.
But you must be clear that at the same time, your decision is a rejection of influence! You are refusing to take control of power!
When you don't speak up in the "formation" stage of the team, do you still want to make yourself important?
Why don't you snap your fingers and let the sun go out?
The forces participating in the meeting will put their demands and energies on the table. ….
Then they push and pull each other over the content and goals of the meeting, and even torture and hostile each other.
Your own abilities, your own difficulties, the remuneration you demand afterwards, and your demands on representatives of other forces...... The list goes on and on.
But in the end, the foundation of the team, the so-called "consensus", is born out of this tug.
Walker understands the virtues of his country.
He understands that the people of his country are politically important
The government has a deep sense of distrust and a lack of security.
If the matter is rushed to the right and the evacuation notice is issued directly in Washington, bypassing the parliament, then it will not be a matter of three million people along the river.
The panicked crowd will ***, robbery, killing, female Yin...... Once the order collapses, there will be no such thing as a "lower limit".
The killing efficiency of people stepping on ants is far worse than catching and killing between ant populations!
The same is true of the approaching Muto, and the humans of Washington.
"If everyone has a gun, he will not mess up...... It's like a joke, but Walker can't laugh right now.
The most urgent task now before Walker is how to get this group of old men in Congress to accept the facts.
An underground defense facility in Washington's far northwest.
This is the farthest location from the military port.
"A bunch of bugs!" Walker foamed at the mouth and cursed viciously.
"I've been entangled with these things all my life, how can I do politics well!"
But he still has to maintain his image in the face.
"Ladies and gentlemen. We faced a challenge unprecedented in the history of the United States, evacuating three million people in less than an hour, a test of the ability of Washington, D.C. to govern and enforce at the grassroots level. What we need to solve is a really systemic and decisive administrative problem."
Walker struggled not to let his anger leak out from under the mask.
"Once again, I implore you to make a swift and effective decision for the safety of the three million people living along the river in Washington!"
"We are gathering information for the decisions that will save the people, Your Excellency." The Speaker of the Council looked at Walker impatiently.
"We all know that decisions made without data can be worse than doing nothing, and we're working to prevent them from happening!"
"That's exactly what the meeting is going to do. Do you know what a forced evacuation order would do on Wall Street? Will it have any impact on international oil prices? Do you think that the tragic consequences of an uncontrolled economy will be smaller than the loss of three million people?"
"And food, energy, control, transshipment...... These require the calculation, communication, and cooperation of all departments! Simply driving people out of their homes, the logistics can't keep up, the resettlement can't be settled, and the property damage can't be sorted out...... You know the temperament of those people, before the Titans really appear and come down on their heads, they will kill the National Guard first because of their distrust and nervousness towards the government!"
"And then they kill each other." A meeting participant was like a heel, thinking he was humorous and picked up a joke.
But then the president and the speaker gave him a cold look at him at the same time, and he learned how to keep his mouth shut prudently. ….
The corners of the Speaker's mouth twitched as he turned his head back to face Walker.
If it weren't for the fact that kid still had the two fast reaction units of the Washington Police Department in his hands just now, he would have kicked him back into his mother's womb now!
What kind of politics do you play without even this little look?
"In short, Your Excellency."
The Speaker looked at Walker, who was already on the verge of losing his anger.
"We still have a lot of agenda under this systemic problem, so please don't disrupt the proceedings of the meeting, okay? Ladies and gentlemen, let's move on to the next ......."
"When did I say that I should care about the feelings of the people?"
Experts and scholars debated, politicians and parliamentarians argued with each other, and a heavy curtain of silence suddenly fell.
They all looked at Walker with wide eyes.
It's like seeing an ornamental monkey that kills humans!
Am I crazy? Or is the world crazy?
The Speaker was speechless from the high platform with his mouth open.
Walker, on the other hand, had a fierce expression and a louder voice, and continued without hesitation.
The corners of the monkey's bloody mouth are still baring their teeth!
"Mr. Bai Tangjing, when did you say it?
Do you care about the feelings of the Wall Street bankers?!"
Walker's grim eyes scanned the entire room.
"Are you stupid to treat 'civilization' as a skin?"
Everyone who looked at him exuded a chill from the bottom of their hearts.
- This isn't the "good guy" Walker!
This is the only thing they react to at this point.
"What makes the United States so strong? Everyone and every family here knows it!"
"Plunder! Kill! Exclude dissidents! Concoct a coup d'état!"
Bloody words popped out of the president's mouth without any restraint.
Every word here will get the biggest page in the newspapers of the whole planet tomorrow!
The experts and scholars present did not mention it, but most of the politicians and parliamentarians were in the embarrassment of being at a loss, or holding their hands on their chests in a defensive posture, or desperately tidying up their already clean and tidy appearance, and they didn't hear it.
Garrett Walker, did this guy take the wrong medicine? How dare he put these......
"You're surprised, how dare I?"
Walker stepped up to the high platform where the Speaker was and snatched the gavel from his hand.
"Bang Bang Bang" knocked three times.
His expression was fierce, as if he was knocking on someone's skull instead of the table just now!
"Wake up! Everybody! Wake up the fuck!"
"The world has changed!"
In the roar, the originally gentle white elite even burst out of the neck.
"Titans! These god-like beasts! Monster! Every once in a while, they will run to the human world and make a big fuss!"
"It's over, I'm happy. Leaving behind human beings, who are both high and low, and who have suffered heavy casualties, is like leaving behind an ant nest that is tired of playing!"
He deliberately accentuated the politically incorrect word "no distinction between high and low", but the members of the audience also looked solemn because of this.
The life of the "noble" and the life of the "lowly...... Although no one can say it in recent decades, it does not prevent everyone from understanding it in their hearts.
"The global economy is hopeless, respect reality!"
After calming the audience, Walker's voice lowered a little, but his tone was still cold to everyone's bones. ….
"The essence of the development of finance is the public's optimistic expectation of the future. But now ......."
"Humanity has fallen from the top of the food chain, and no one can do a good job in the economy when the lives of the masses are threatened at any time. No one!"
"It's a game-changer! A revolution like never before!"
"Since the Stone Age, mankind has to fight and fight again! It's not for money, it's not for power, it's not for that damned, uncontrollable lower body!"
"It's for the most basic, simplest of all—survival!"
Walker looked around at everyone again, and this time, even though it was still creepy in the depths of his heart, no one dared to avoid his gaze.
"Do you think that the venerable gentleman and Muto fought to protect the United States?"
"For the sake of the 'beacon of freedom,? For countless money, luxury cars, yachts? For the sake of the good people in the dock, the sweet beauty who can shake her waist when she sits on you?"
There was a faint laugh from underground.
Vulgar jokes were a common tactic in speeches, and they thought it was a sign that Walker wanted to lighten the mood.
And the wise man frowned...... The content of the current speech has nothing to do with ordinary speeches.
Walker cooperated with a smile on his face, staring at everyone.
But in the next moment, his smile was frozen in deep rage.
"Do you have shit in your heads?!"
The vicious swearing without embellishment shook the entire audience in the conference room.
"That respectable gentleman, he wants to protect the world's first industrial country! It is one of the world's top three food producers
! It is a scientific and technological power that can have dozens or hundreds of colleges and universities, and can export high-level talents in batches!"
"Luxury cars, yachts, beautiful women...... Use your pitiful little brains! Do you think these things have even a little bit of value in his eyes?"
Walker mockingly tried desperately to draw a small enough idea with his knuckles, and he pinched them until they turned white.
"It's to protect these fragile, interconnected relations of production that he's going to war with that damn Muto!"
"Who the fuck cares about the wishes of those civilians? Who the fuck wants to save the assets of a Wall Street banker?"
"Even if Lehman Brothers gives me their *** company now, it is not as good as a controlling stake in Monsanto in my eyes! Even if it's just 1%!"
After saying that, Walker looked at the silent venue and exhaled.
Then he leisurely lowered the mallet and straightened his tie and cufflinks.
The hysterical ferocity and ferocity with which he spoke seemed to disappear in an instant.
It's like being back in the White House, and turning back into the suave "good guy" Walker.
"Colleagues, the purpose of the meeting is to reach consensus."
"The financial industry has been irreparably destroyed, and everyone has tried their best to save it, but unfortunately, we can't do anything."
Walker gave the audience an understanding look on his face, and the lawmakers looked at each other...... Are they "exhausted"?
Anyway, nod!
So there was a lot of approval.
"But there should always be a tone for the world of the future, right?" ….
Everyone's eyes looked expectantly at Walker on stage.
He didn't sell it either.
"In the future, the secondary industry will flourish because it is the cornerstone of human survival and development. The primary sector will also flourish because we need it to feed our population in the secondary sector, and it is also a source of security for all ordinary people in this world. But the tertiary sector ......"
Walker's reserved and haughty smile was as decent as an old European aristocrat.
"It will exist, but only exists. Because everyone here needs to have fun, the people need to have fun, and more importantly, the giants, their desires are still burning hot, and we should satisfy them no matter what."
[In other words, it is the best way to read aloud and listen to books at present, @
"The only time the United States has had an airstrike on its homeland was when white people bombed the community, and now you can bomb the white community."
Walker casually uttered words that had been taboo until today.
"No, Your Excellency President, I'm not racist......"
"I don't care! Myron!"
The black man stared at the president who interrupted him.
"I don't care if you're a or not, I just need you to make them understand that it's a joke to want to defend their property and freedom with those water-barred toys in their hands!"
"Not even a single F22, they deserve it?!"
"I want you to shoot, set fire, bomb! Drive the stubborn civilians out of their houses and stuff them into shelters far from the river!"
"I have to emphasize to you: this is a job given to me by Mr. Hakutang, and I don't want to mess it up, not at all! But if you dare to mess up......
"Complete, totally understood!" ….
The black man almost trotted out of his seat, and in a panic knocked down a clerk on the way.
As he watched his departing back, Walker's voice came from the Speaker's old voice.
The old man, who had been through the storm, had already regained his composure.
"Are you sure you're conscious, Walker? You don't look like you're just three million dead, it's like the sun is going out tomorrow."
"Is there any difference between the two in my political career, Mr. Dupont?"
「...... Not really."
The Speaker stared at Walker with interest, as if he were meeting him for the first time.
"I've listened to Mr. Whitetang's talk about 'Split, Walker'."
"So what?"
"No, under the will of such characters, old Dupont and his family are no different from little bugs, and they can't do anything. It's just that I used to want to go to the South to see Donald's luxury hotels, but now I ...... It seems that the Walker's northern manor, after removing the complicated and withering on the surface, also has the value of visiting."
Old fox.
Walker cursed in his heart.
But then, he sneered, and under the Speaker's stunned gaze, Walker picked up the coffee cup in his hand.
Greet him elegantly as if he were holding a glass of champagne.
"'The complexity of the surface,...... Good analogy, we've all been wearing this 'civilized, coat' for too long, Mr. DuPont. So long that we have forgotten how to survive and make a fortune in a wild age."
"Looks like the Walker family has found memories?"
The Speaker was still tentative, but Walker just smiled and drank his coffee.
The bottom of the cup, which was still stained with coffee, was printed directly on the minutes of the Speaker's previous meeting.
It's full of dazzling data, symbols for money, and complicated financial analysis.
Walker propped his hands on the table and looked down at the old man with a smile.
"Welcome back to the great days of grinding teeth and sucking blood, Mr. DuPont."
What are you doing, you
