The tough vote on Capitol Hill in "417" is hell on both sides!
Poseidon,
At this point, the place was in chaos.
After the Bear soldiers sent by the Titan Group occupied this place, there were too many people, so they couldn't control too many people at all, so many tourists took advantage of the chaos to flee.
But
The soldiers of the Bear Country are not so stupid to care about these tourists, but directly installed bombs everywhere, all of which cannot be disassembled and discarded, even if these tourists resist no matter how much they resist, can they still crack the precision bombs of the Titan Group?
Among the tourists, there is a small team that has been put together improvised,
Adventurous professional gambler John Delan, former mayor of JoNew Robert Lemshi, daughter Jennifer, boyfriend Christian, single mother and her smart son Kona...... (Movie "Poseidon")
I fled together.
"What should I do?"
"It's the Titan Group!"
Everyone was terrified and anxious. After all, the Titan Group is not a small organization, and the horrors it has done have terrified the whole world.
"Is there anything we can do to save ourselves?"
"Defuse the bomb?"
"Escape from the ship?"
At this time, the former mayor of Jonew, Robert Lemshi, stood up with a resolute face.
"No, we can resist, there are 5,000 people on our ship, and there must be many people who are brave and dare to resist. We can take out the other side, defuse the bombs, and save the whole ship. ”
"Wouldn't that be too risky?" The others hesitated.
"yes, the other side has a gun...... Moreover, how to defuse the bomb? Do we have professional people? ”
John Delan, a professional gambler, gritted his teeth at this time: "I think, we can't sit and wait for death, we fight!" ”
At this time,
The whole ship's radio began to sound:
"Hello Poseidon visitors, staff, everyone......"
"We are the Titan Group, and we kidnapped the Poseidon this time, not for money, but for life, so please don't resist, otherwise don't blame us if you die."
"As we all know, our Giant God Group is a very trustworthy organization, and we don't like to harm people's lives."
"This time, our task is to control this ship for 2 hours."
"And in the United States, we have controlled 75 squid people and 5 scientists."
"We have told the top brass of the United States through TV that they can choose to give up one of them within two hours, between 5,000 of you, 5 scientists, and 75 squid people!"
"Within 2 hours, I didn't make a choice, and all three parties died!"
"And if we make a choice, we will execute the side chosen by Congress and release the other two!"
now
The entire Poseidon, more than 5,000 meters of Chinese people, are all fried.
Some people were crying in horror.
"I don't want to die, I don't want to die, I'm still young!"
Some people were relieved after hearing this.
"Don't panic, we're fine, we have 5,000 people, and they can't choose us."
The radio continued: "At this time, the national television station of the United States is broadcasting the news that you are controlled by us, according to official practice, you will be 100% safe, and they dare not give up." ”
"Also, don't think about resisting, we have installed 50 high-powered bombs on the entire ship, and it is difficult to dismantle. If we die a single person, you will die a boatload of people. ”
"Please trust the credibility of our Titan Group!"
"You are safe, don't resist, in 2 hours, you will regain your life and freedom!"
More than 5,000 people on the Poseidon: "............"
Credibility?
It seems that the credibility of the Titan Group is indeed good.
So, one by one, they began to lie flat, no longer thinking about any resistance.
Mayor Robert's side, a crowd: "............"
I just mustered up the courage to resist, and it turned out to be like this.
Resist a hairy!
I choose to believe in the credibility of the Titan Group!
……
……
On the side of the United States,
"What?"
"And a third party?!"
The faces of the top brass of the United States have changed drastically.
Originally, I thought that there were only 75 squid people and 5 scientists to choose from, so it would be relatively simple for the officials of the United States to respond.
And now, there is a third option, "Poseidon giant cruise ship 5,000 Mi people", the problem will be many times more complicated.
"Trouble!"
President Kerton hurriedly shouted: "Call that ship right away and see what the situation is!" ”
Soon, the results came back.
The Poseidon was really captured and floated in the Atlantic.
And at this time,
Television began broadcasting the accompanying photos of the ship in an email from the Titan Group.
- Robert, Mayor of Jonew, in the control room, with the bandits.
Subsequently, he made a phone call and talked to Robert about the situation on the Poseidon's side, confirming that the Poseidon was indeed kidnapped.
……
At this point,
The citizens of the whole country, because of this news, directly blew up.
"Crazy! It's really crazy! ”
"It's so cruel, it's very difficult to choose which one, no matter how you choose, someone will lose their lives."
"Can we trust the government's decision-making capabilities in an emergency?"
"We cannot allow terrorists to succeed and should take all measures to protect people's lives."
"Riding a horse, can you stop talking nonsense? All measures? What measures? Fake Big Sky! It doesn't work at all! ”
"Hehe, needless to say, it must be the squid man."
"Scientists can't die, and the cruise ship of 5,000 people can't die, the only one who can die has no impact on the United States is the squid man!"
"Yes, kill the Squid Man!"
"Those people have taken up a lot of our wealth, and we are struggling in poverty......
It is human nature to hate the rich.
The squid people occupy too much wealth, which naturally makes countless poor people angry, especially now that the financial crisis in the United States has caused countless rice people to lose their jobs and become laid off, and social contradictions have intensified, more people hate the squid people of the rich class.
There are also many people in the United States, angrily scolding the culprit - the Giant God Group.
"We can't fall for the scheme, this giant god group is the culprit!"
"This Titan Group has threatened the stability and tranquility of the entire society, and we must take tough measures against this Titan Group, and even eliminate them, in order to maintain the peace and stability of the society."
At this time, the people of Jeonmi are discussing the contradictions between morality, ethics, law, and human nature. Some people advocate saving scientists first, because they are a precious asset to society; Some advocated saving the passengers, because they were innocent and there were more of them.
And most of the people are more inclined to give up on Squid Man!
Squid Man: "............"
……
And this side of Capitol Hill,
A fierce quarrel is underway.
"I think we should prioritize the lives of the hostages, negotiate with the bandits, and try to find a peaceful solution."
"I agree to prioritize the lives of the hostages, but we must not show weakness and make the bandits think that we are not capable of fighting back. We should take some measures to protect the safety of the hostages, while also preserving the dignity of the country. ”
"Shut up!"
"You stupid pigs, what you say is a piece of shit!"
"What peaceful settlement? The Titan Group is coming for us, how can we solve it peacefully? ”
"Also, 'What measures are being taken to keep the hostages safe?' What's the difference between this and? Can you do this? ”
"Fack, is there something wrong with what I said? I'm thinking about the big picture! ”
"Consider Nima! There are still 2 hours to go, don't say anything fake and empty, we want a method, a method, a choice, a choice!! ”
Some excited parliamentarians have already pointed at each other's noses and sprayed saliva.
There are also lawmakers who stand directly on the table, looking down and scolding each other, drowning each other with saliva.
"One of the three? Do we have to choose? ”
"What about our fleet? Can you find the Poseidon quickly? ”
"No, the Poseidon has turned off its satellite positioning, and now it has disappeared into the sea, and 2 hours is not enough time to choose."
At the top of Congress, lawmakers are under unprecedented pressure to make decisions in as little as two hours.
Moreover, the problem now is that no parliamentarian on the scene dares to directly say, 'What will happen if you give up scientists/squid people/5,000 ordinary Chinese people', and if you say such a thing, it will be exposed at that time, and you will definitely be ruined.
If you say that you give up scientists, you will be disgusted by all the high-level intellectuals, academics, and educational circles in the United States.
If you say that you give up Squid Man, you will be hit by Squid Capital.
said that if you give up 5,000 Mi people, it is estimated that you will be sprayed to death by the whole country in the future!
Therefore, the atmosphere of the discussion on the scene became strange, one by one slapped the table angrily, and shouted one by one, but they did not talk about the core, but instead made a fool of themselves.
And time, bit by bit, keeps passing.
At last
House Speaker Johnson slapped the table and made a decision: "In that case, let's vote!" Secret ballot! ”
