The knight in the big world of American TV series

Chapter 848 The President's Counterattack
Of course, given the urgency of Americans, it is naturally impossible to trust the government, and in a place where crowds gather in Manhattan, there are always some onlookers who dare to eat melons at the cost of their lives.These people took pictures of the whole process of God Kai stopping the missile!Most of these videos are shot on smartphones, and these are the work of ordinary people.The few high-definition copies are professional photography equipment. These are precious materials taken by the reporters hiding inside the building. A few professional photographers, under the flames of war, managed to capture the full set of high-definition photos!

So here comes the question, if it's just an ordinary missile, does it need a legendary figure like the Spirit Knight to personally shoot it?

You must know that there were really not too many missiles in the sky over Manhattan that day, and even the planes fell down!Not to mention missiles.Not to mention, the Spirit Knight asked Tony to remove something from the missile.Does an ordinary missile require such a noble ancient hero as the god Kai to expend so much effort to deal with it?What's more, in the end, the spirit knight put it away.

So Huadian was discovered!

So the official suffered another boring loss.They can't explain it, and they can't explain it at all. How can they explain it?

Said that the god who could open up the world with one move stole their American missiles?
Who do you think will reply to such stupid remarks?

Hesitant to say nothing officially, so the discussion about the nuclear bomb actually became popular again on the original basis!
……

Benjamin sat in the president's office and watched the news media's long reports on this matter. His face was so dark that he almost turned into a black brother.

The other people sitting in the office had similar expressions.

"Now... tell me, how should I explain this to my people?" Benjamin did take care of the overall situation this time, washing the ground for many people, and even betting on his own political career. His polls are very good , the re-election is basically secure, no one can compete with him!

But now, in order to protect the overall situation, he can only stand up and talk nonsense!

This has a very big impact on his re-election!What's worse, he can't punish anyone for it!This is outrageous.

The whips of both parties were present in the office, and their expressions were serious.Although the two parties compete on the surface, it is actually a game of left-handed and right-handed. The two parties in the United States are very different from those in other countries. First of all, the two parties do not actually have a clear-cut political platform.

To put it simply, they are all the spokespersons of capitalism, and no one represents a certain social class.Therefore, although the two parties may seem to be arguing very lively, in fact, compared with those parties in other countries with a real political program, their relationship is so good that it's a honey!
But the problem is that this kind of good relationship can bring stability to the American political arena, but at the same time, it also causes class solidification.

From the founding of the country to the present, elite politics has not been broken for more than 200 years, but has become more stable.

This has also led to the fact that American politics is getting farther and farther away from ordinary people, and the passion and willingness of the people to participate in politics is getting smaller and smaller. This can be seen from the decreasing number of voters in the United States year by year.

Of course, that doesn't mean they won't fight for power.This stuff is the instinct of politicians.

But this time, the whips of both parties acted as lobbyists in unison, persuading the president to come out and help clean up the land.

That's why Benjamin was so happy.

There is no way that the president’s influence in the political arena is really inferior to those big bosses from both parties. There is no way that the president will leave after serving his term. However, as long as there are no major accidents, those big bosses from both parties still have huge power , this power is not open, but hidden under the government, where the public cannot see it.

It can even be said that, with the exception of a few US presidents, most of them are just elected 'faces' to look good, but in fact... they are just puppets.

The shadow government in many urban legends is not groundless.

Some people have said it, you are talking nonsense, why did the leaders of the two parties speak to S.H.I.E.L.D.S.H.I.E.L.D. is so cowhide that it can already intervene in Washington's power game?
Of course that's not possible.

This is the red line. If S.H.I.E.L.D. dared to do this, it would have been split up long ago.

It's really a nuke thing... too big.

Once it breaks out, it is definitely not just SHIELD who will take the blame!
First question, where did the S.H.I.E.L.D. nuclear bomb come from?

This must be explained!

From the US government?

Very serious consequences!
Made it yourself?

The consequences are more serious!

Stolen from when the Soviet Union collapsed?
The consequences are still serious!
There is no doubt that this incident will cause a political storm!
How many people will die because of this storm, no one knows.At least the two party whips didn't dare to think about it.

The two parties themselves may not be affected by this storm, because the game of drumming and passing has been played between the two parties for so many years, and it is conceivable that it will continue to be played.But people in the two parties are not necessarily so.

No one wants to pay for this incident. ,

So they came forward to persuade the president and came out to wash the ground.

Of course, this is not without cost.The price is that Benjamin will rarely receive bipartisan support!At the same time his re-election would be guaranteed.

As for how to guarantee... Hehe, it really shouldn't be too simple.Anyway, the candidates are from the two parties, and whoever they choose to be the candidate is eligible to compete.At that time, just throw a few cannon fodder in.

What?No one wants to be cannon fodder?
Ha ha, then you underestimated the presidential election.For some less outstanding politicians, it is definitely a rare qualification to be nominated as a candidate of the two parties. At least they can greatly increase their exposure.

It's not that if you can't win the presidential election, you won't be able to vote in the future.

One or two failures won't do much real harm.

It's a pity, it's a good idea, but...Americans have always found joy in rebelling against authority.

Really let this kind of speech continue to develop, maybe something will happen!
In any era, in any country, there is no shortage of political speculators!
If someone really raises their arms and shouts, Benjamin's political career may really be over!

"Mr. President, please trust us, we will give you a satisfactory answer." The two party whips knew what the President needed, and he was making progress.

He needs more, substantial support!

The two party whips didn't mind much about it. Politics, isn't it all like this.

"That's good!" President Benjamin's personal resources are naturally impossible to compare with these two party leaders who have been working hard for many years.These bigwigs don't just represent themselves, the contacts and interest groups behind them are extremely huge.If we really want to talk about public opinion control, the government is like a younger brother to these big bosses!

Again, they don't just represent themselves.

"I can put this problem aside, but there is one problem that we must solve!"

Although Benjamin didn't say anything specific, everyone knew what he was talking about.

The whips of the two parties stopped talking. They are not professional in this matter, so professionals are needed to describe it.

"Ms. Carter, I now hope that you can give me an assessment. Can the United States still trust S.H.I.E.L.D.?"

There are four so-called professionals, the director of the CIA, the director of the FBI, representatives of the military, and Ms. Carter!

Ms. Carter is a legend, and no one will deny it, so Ms. Carter should not even think about having any status in Washington in her life.Everyone will treat her with courtesy, but will not give her the power commensurate with her status.

Everyone is not stupid. If this kind of people really play politics with them, it would be too disruptive to the balance.

Of course, things are a little different now.

First of all, the captain changed from a god back to a man, and the dead Captain America was invulnerable!No one will accuse a dead person, let alone a dead person will come out to fight for power and profit with them.So they made Captain America into a god.But gods don't appear in front of people, they should be in church.Now that the captain has returned as a human being, there is no divinity.

Although the captain's influence is still terrifying, it is not invulnerable anyhow.

In addition, there is a difference in comparison.

In the era of the US team, the only one who could compete with him was the Red Skull.

But Red Skull is the villain!He naturally stands out!
But what about now?

Immortals walk all over the place, and their superpowers are not as good as dogs.

Although exaggerated, among these superheroes, the US team is really... quite ordinary.

In addition, since we noticed that SHIELD began to gradually break away from the control of the U.S. government, American traditional entertainment has exploded, decentralization!

So Ms. Carter once again appeared in the White House grandly.

When Carter heard the president's inquiry, he also had mixed feelings in his heart.

Because once upon a time, she also thought about the Rubik's Cube in the universe.

It's just that she didn't succeed due to the technical means at the time.

It's just that she didn't expect that Nick Fury did the same thing, and it was successful, but it just made a big mess.

But she still has to say what needs to be said.

"S.H.I.E.L.D. When an organization grows large, it will naturally prioritize its own development, which is inevitable." This sentence is an excuse.

Just like the FBI was just a pure police organization when it was established, but for its own growth, the FBI did a lot of crimes, especially during the Hoover era, it was really unscrupulous.Sometimes, the interests of an organization or a department are not in line with the country in which it is located.

The most obvious example is the CIA drug trafficking. In order to expand its influence in South America and attack the red forces, the CIA has supported those anti-government armed forces, but supporting those anti-government armed forces and guerrillas requires money!
Where does the money come from?Ask the government?
Hehe, anyone can do this kind of work for money, so why not let the CIA do it?
So the CIA began to do evil. They started drug trafficking, transporting drugs from South America to the United States in exchange for funds.Then use the money to support the anti-government groups and guerrillas they want to support.

It can be said that since the 80s, the drug epidemic in the United States has been credited to the CIA.

But is this in line with America's own interests?

Of course not.

But the CIA still did it.Because his duty is not to fight drugs, their duty is to carry out various subversive activities in other countries!Only when the essential work is done well, can the CIA continue to receive more funding.

Fighting drugs is the job of the DEA.

The same is true for S.H.I.E.L.D. Are their interests aligned with those of the US government?
Impossible to think about.

"But it is undeniable that a part of S.H.I.E.L.D. has rotted and must be purged!"

What Carter said next was much more ruthless. There is no way, she is now the head of the Shadow Bureau, and if she wants to develop, she must attack her competitors.

In the United States, many law enforcement agencies have overlapping responsibilities, and the competition between them is even more tragic.

What is the FBI arresting the CIA? The local police and the FBI have joined forces, and the Drug Enforcement Administration and the CIA have joined forces.very common.

For a period of time, the New York Police Department and the New York Director of the Federal Investigation Department of the United States have been competing fiercely and the relationship has been tense. The confrontation between the FBI and the New York Police Force is called excitement.They catch each other, all kinds of phishing and anti-phishing are exciting, and the two sides will make a lot of trouble because of a little conflict.In the end, the Department of Justice had to take action in person to remove the director of the FBI New York and the chief of the New York Police Department, and finally let the dispute subside, but even so, the two departments have not liked each other until now.

And the Drug Enforcement Administration has to argue with the CIA every year. It is said that the CIA has to go to the Drug Enforcement Administration to get people every year, because those people are all from the CIA...

It's quite magical.

But it's also normal.

Duties overlap, who has more and who has less?How to divide?Of course I want to grab it!If you don't rob others, you won't be grateful to you. On the contrary, it will make your colleagues and subordinates unhappy, so why not fight?
So did Carter.

For the Shadow Bureau to develop, it must fight S.H.I.E.L.D.

And when Carter looked back at SHIELD today, she had discovered a darkness she didn't know.She doesn't know where this darkness comes from, but the best way for now is to weaken S.H.I.E.L.D.!

In order to minimize the impact.

Ms. Carter's statement was soon supported by several other professionals.

Again, they all want to enter the field that S.H.I.E.L.D. is responsible for, so how could it be impossible to put eye drops on S.H.I.E.L.D.

Other bigwigs also agree with this.

There is no way, those politicians in New York are crazy. If the Federation does not give a reasonable explanation, this group of people can directly promote the independence referendum.

This is not intimidation.

The national system of the United States is a federation. Although it has more centripetal force than the Confederacy, the Constitution gives independent power to the states.Lincoln and the Southern Civil War were technically unconstitutional, but who cares, Lincoln won anyway.

This leads to normal times, everyone knows the benefits of unification, the unified United States is the largest country in the world, if it is divided... who the hell is your state?Everyone can restrain themselves with a little friction.

But this time is different.

Those rich people and politicians in New York almost freaked out!
Almost all of them were sent to heaven!
"I think I understand what you mean." Benjamin nodded in satisfaction.

Just kidding, his size is also the President of the United States!If he came out to take the blame, did he really give some benefits and let it go?

Don't even think about it, S.H.I.E.L.D. must be punished as it should be!
