No matter what the U.S. government or the mysterious organization's next actions are, they can't change one thing, that is, the carnival of public opinion!
Whether it is the attack on the White House or the rescue of the president, it is the biggest whirlpool of public opinion this year.Almost everyone is expressing their opinions. In today's American public opinion field, there are two voices. One is naturally the traditional ability of the United States-to start a war!
This kind of voice is very loud, and many Americans feel unsafe. After all, even the White House, the center of the United States, has been captured by terrorists, so how can this country be safe?This strong sense of insecurity has led many people to choose to support the United States in retaliating against this terrorist attack.

And North Korea naturally became that target!
Many people are calling for war against North Korea.

But this voice encountered an obstacle, that is the attitude of the countries surrounding North Korea.

Will Russia allow the US to wage war on North Korea?
Can China allow it?
If you think about it, you know you can't.

It is impossible for them to turn the Korean Peninsula into a forward base of the United States, and Japan and South Korea are also unwilling.

For Japan, North Korea is indeed a threat to their security, but a war is not an option they want. After all, North Korea is too close to Japan, and their missiles can threaten Japan at any time. Japan has never thought of going to Japan. South Korea's unification, and put itself under threat.

Not to mention South Korea, if a war were to break out, they would be the first to be affected.Don't think that South Korea, like China, has always longed for reunification. For many Koreans, they are precisely against reunification.

The development of South Korea is deformed. The big chaebols preside over the entire South Korean economy. As a result, the economic dividends have not been enjoyed by the people at the bottom.The social resources received by the bottom Korean people are very scarce. South Korea is one of the most stressful countries in the world.If the peninsula is unified, it will inevitably make South Korea's economy tilt towards North Korea's backwardness in development, so that there will be fewer resources left for the South Korean people. (This can be seen from West Germany’s economic assistance to East Germany after the merger of the two Germanys)
This has caused many Koreans, especially young people, to be unenthusiastic about the reunification of the peninsula, or even very repulsive.

Well, what good does it do them for the US to attack North Korea?
No, not only do you have to go through the flames of war, but you also have to bear the consequences of the unification later.

So the most serious objection is South Korea.

Even if South Korea played a disgraceful role in this matter, it had to stand up and oppose it.

Therefore, the voice of launching a war in the United States is very loud, but among the upper-class people who really control the destiny of this country, they all hold a conservative attitude towards war.After all, North Korea... What's in the interest of taking it down?
That is a poor and desperate barren land. Even the food needs external assistance. It takes a lot of money to conquer it, but there is not much to get. It even has to face the interference of two big countries!

Even the United States feels frightened in the face of the cooperation between China and Russia.

The means of war are not cost-effective.

Another voice in the public opinion field is more interesting.

They are reflecting.

Reflect on why the United States is the most vulnerable country in the world to terrorist attacks.

There has never been hatred for no reason in this world. If the United States is really good, who is full enough to make trouble for the United States?

So what happened to America?
So a group of people began to reflect.

This reflection is bad.

The United States has always had a strong anti-war thinking. Since the Vietnam War, this trend of thought has been very popular in the United States.

They believe that the reason why the United States is being targeted in various ways is that the United States has waged too many unjust wars.Although the United States often says that they attack a country to liberate those countries, in fact, they bring nothing but chaos and war.

Both Iraq and Afghanistan have confirmed this point.

Except for Saudi Arabia and a few small countries in the entire Middle East, there is no country that has a good impression of the United States.

And it is precisely these people who have become the main force of terrorists.

As a result, many people began to step up their efforts to call for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from those places, and some people were even more radical. They asked the U.S. to withdraw its troops from all over the world.

This is of course impossible. The international social order dominated by the United States relies on the establishment of those overseas troops. They station troops in all transportation hubs around the world. This is the guarantee of American hegemony. Without these, what can the United States do? Suppress the whole world?

Without the guarantee of force, the dollar is worthless.

In short, during this period of time, public opinion was very lively.

In order to calm these public opinions, President Benjamin, who had just completed the operation, had to give a speech in the ward.

This may be the strangest presidential speech in the entire history of the United States.

Benjamin started working without even pulling out the various catheters on his body.

No way, although he called for reforms and reductions in military spending, he never thought of making the United States withdraw its troops from all over the world.He is always the president of the United States, and he still has to put the national interest first.

His reforms are to cut defense spending, replace military force with diplomatic means, and at the same time invest more money in people's livelihood, so as to narrow the gap between rich and poor and increase employment rate.

Kay and Margaret were outside the ward just as Benjamin was speaking.

"Thank you, Kay." Margaret really, really thanked Kay, even though Kay shot Benjamin.But Margaret was not an ordinary woman. In her opinion, being able to rescue Benjamin without much damage was the greatest victory.

"You're welcome... By the way, how long are you going to keep me?"

After this incident, Kai never returned to Los Angeles. It wasn't that he didn't want to leave, but that Margaret and Benjamin were very enthusiastic to keep him, which made his trip postponed again and again.

Both Margaret and Benjamin had lingering fears about the incident, and at the same time they had extreme mistrust of the security around them.After all, the fact is that the White House was easily breached, and the president almost died in the White House. With this level of security, no one can rest assured.

And because of the previous terrorist attack, only Banning died in the White House presidential guard... Even if the Secret Service has repeatedly emphasized that they will send elites to protect the president's safety, it still takes the president and his wife to believe it. .

But the president's safety cannot be unprotected, so the couple thought of Kai.

They wanted Kay to stay with them for a while, and Margaret even considered Kay as their personal bodyguard.But this decision was protested by the Secret Service and several other departments. Even the bigwigs in Congress persuaded the president not to make the Secret Service too ugly. After all, if the president really did this, he would undoubtedly tell the public that his The president does not trust the government. This is a very serious political incident that will greatly damage the morale of the people.

So Benjamin could only make concessions. He was the highest official of the government. If even he didn't trust the government, how could the people still have a sense of trust in the government?

As a condition, Benjamin asked Congress to authorize him to lead the new team of the Secret Service and his guards.

On this point, Congress did not force it.

Can't force it, what can they say?The White House has been compromised. Does the president not believe that there is something wrong with the original team?

So Benjamin sent his most trusted Banning and Davis to re-form the presidential guard. Their loyalty has been tested, and Duke was also absorbed into the presidential guard.One more thing, Duke's ex-girlfriend... the woman who turned Duke away, has now been investigated.Because she actually left her job just moments before the attack.

Although she herself stated that it was her boss, the special agent in charge of the White House Department of the Secret Service, who gave him leave.

But now the Secret Service of the White House is dead... and there is no place to ask for evidence.

In short, under the guiding ideology that she would rather believe what she has or not, she took a vacation.As for when to come back.

That's not clear.

Of course, the president's wife's help is indispensable, but her own loopholes are also a problem.

The formation of a new presidential guard will take time, so Margaret hopes that Kay can serve as temporary security during this time.

"Kai... Banning and the others need time. I know this is troublesome for you, but I don't trust anyone now. I can only trust you."

Anyway, they are friends, it's really hard for Kai to refuse.Although he thought such attacks would happen again, how to say?President of the United States, this is the most popular target in the world.Basically, those countries that are unhappy with the United States will take him as a target.

"Okay... But I can only stay for a week at most, and there are still a lot of things waiting for me in Los Angeles."

In fact, if the White House hadn't been attacked, the public opinion would still be in Los Angeles. After all, the war that took place in the United States was boring enough for Americans to talk about it for many days.But now the White House is stealing the limelight from Los Angeles.

But the problem is that things like being robbed of the limelight cannot solve the problems that Los Angeles needs to face now, and the Los Angeles police are still working overtime.

So one week is the limit.

Benjamin was very busy. He had just delivered a speech on TV, and before the live broadcast equipment in the ward could be removed, old Edward came to the ward with several military personnel.Old Edward is now the deputy secretary of defense acting as the acting minister, because the minister of defense Ruth McMillan is still recovering from injuries in the hospital. Among the hostages held, she and the president were seriously injured. Si's secret, so nothing happened, except for the few unlucky ones who were shot.

From old Edward's expression, he could tell that this was a big deal, so soon the president's temporary guards made those who were still cleaning up the live broadcast equipment leave the ward immediately.

Margaret did not enter the ward either. Although there is no saying in the United States that the harem interferes in politics, generally speaking, no one would want the president's wife to participate too much in these confidential events. After all, the president is elected, and the president's wife is By the way. (There are exceptions, such as President Carter's wife, who will attend her husband's ministerial meeting, and Clinton's wife who also participates in state affairs, but most of the president's wives are not likely to get involved in these things)
Kay was left behind.

Old Edward looked from Kay to the President.

"Margaret is a little nervous right now..." Benjamin showed a helpless expression. After experiencing this kind of thing, no one can take it calmly, including Benjamin, but it's not as obvious as Margaret's expression: " And I trust Kay, he's proven himself. If it's too secretive, I'll let him out."

Old Edward didn't say anything, Kay was also his acquaintance.

What he was going to say next was indeed a secret, but it didn't matter to Kay.

"Our people checked the body of the female terrorist and found something."

That is to say, zero, and Kai took the initiative to say the strangeness of zero, which is why the military will carry out the investigation on zero's body in the first place.

Benjamin knew why Edward hadn't insisted that Kay go.

So he let Edward continue.

"The woman's body has traces of transformation. Our scientists found traces of genetic engineering and a large number of traces of drug transformation from her body. They concluded that this is a fairly mature transformation technology! Although it cannot be confirmed yet This kind of transformation is not universal, but we believe that our enemy will definitely not have only one such transformed human warrior."

Benjamin frowned. He had actually been thinking about launching this terrorist attack.

There are many suspected targets, such as a bunch of terrorist organizations in the Middle East, and countries in the world that hate the United States. There are too many countries that are already capable of doing so.

But when you think about it carefully, every suspected target has one or another reason to show that they didn't do it.

For example, those terrorist organizations in the Middle East have motives and are willing to destroy the United States.But the problem is that these people can only use AK47 and RPG as their weapons. They don't have this technology at all, and they don't have the ability to make such a big event.

The same is true for those countries that hate the United States. Most of them have a miserable life. For example, several countries in South America have domestic inflation and poor reputation. They just don’t have the ability to do so.

And those countries that are capable of doing so don't have that much motivation.

For example, the other four members of the Wuchang, among them, both China and Russia have such capabilities.In fact, Russia can only say that it hates the United States, and it has not hated it to the point of blowing up the entire United States.On this point, the Americans and Russians have a big cognitive bias.

Because of the propaganda of the Cold War, many Americans believe that Russia hates them and wants to destroy them.

But for the Russians, the most important thing for them now is to develop, let Russia return to the position they think, and have no interest or time to destroy the United States for the time being.

Not to mention the China in this world, the Huaxia in this world are exquisite isolationists. Except for their own sphere of influence, they rarely express their views on the affairs of other countries. The United States has always regarded them as enemies, but Huaxia treats the United States like I'm a bit ignorant, it's because the United States needed such an enemy after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, so it was arranged forcibly.

But high-level Americans know very well that the Chinese are not interested in them.

And even if the two countries are malicious to the United States, they will not use this method. International rules have their own way of playing, and terrorism is too low.No normal country would use this method.

So after a lap, Benjamin himself was stunned, and he couldn't figure out who had this ability and who had this motivation.

"About this female cyborg... Kai, do you have anything to add?"

In fact, even if Benjamin didn't keep Kai, Edward would talk to Kai about it later.They want to know how this kind of modified person is capable, and how to deal with it.

"That woman's combat power is not bad, but her shortcomings are obvious. Once she starts to fight, she loses her mind and has no rules at all. It is not difficult to deal with it. A well-trained team can cooperate to kill her. If the opponent's There is nothing to worry about if the reformed people are at this level."

　I didn’t come back until 12:30. I couldn’t fall asleep because I was having a good time playing, so the code words have been written until now. For the sake of such hard work, I recommend tickets and monthly tickets for support!
