In the United States Senate, Congressman Jerry was holding a document to impeach the current government at a meeting.
His sudden words immediately turned the originally harmonious atmosphere against the president.
Jerry said, "At this critical juncture, please give us an explanation. Why did you choose to station troops in the Land of Mercenaries?"
The president took the prepared document and felt that it was useless now. He didn't know what to say. He looked at Jerry and thought, Why don't you just die? Didn't you have cancer? What a busybody.
But on the surface, he said, "Isn't it obvious? The Middle East accounts for half of the world's oil. Although they are not a powerful country, don't forget that most of the American national debt is in their hands. These local tyrants don't care about money and have been leading America by the nose all these years. The country can't be like this, so what's the problem with stationing troops in the world's second largest oil reserve? "
"No problem," Jerry said.
"Then what do you have to say?"
Jerry took out a document and said, "I've received a report here, accusing you of covering up the fact that your troops were defeated in the Land of Mercenaries twice. This is very unfair to those soldiers who sacrificed themselves. I also heard that there are more than 70 soldiers still on the run. Could it be that you don't care about their lives, President?"
The president's expression changed slightly. "Jerry, use your brain before you speak."
"I have a list of the people who died this time. If you don't believe that the president allowed these people to enter the Land of Mercenaries, you can check the police system to see if the people on this list are soldiers of the army. Also, their passports all have records of them going to the same place. A total of two times, eighty people and two hundred people. We lost more than two hundred people. Let me ask you, what benefits did you bring to America in this battle? "
"This …" The president suddenly didn't know what to say.
To be exact, he had nothing to say because he didn't gain any benefits.
After a long time, he said firmly, "Jerry, please understand the situation. Are you the president or am I? You haven't taken office yet, so everything I do is decided by the Parliament. You have no right to interfere."
"I don't intend to interfere, but I have an obligation to let everyone know what you are doing and what you have done wrong. You've rashly stationed troops in the Land of Mercenaries. This is clearly an arduous and unrewarding act. If this matter is exposed, it will be no different from the scandal in Israel. "
The president slammed the table and said in a deep voice, "Jerry, I ask you to think about it carefully. If this matter is exposed, how big a blow will it be to the image of the American government?"
Jerry said, "You're wrong. I'm just disappointed in your decision as a president, not America's image."
The president looked at Jerry meaningfully. Suddenly, the two of them felt the tension in the air. Not only them, but the members of the democratic party also became sensitive after this secret operation was exposed.
At this time, the most active party was the Gonghe party, which was fighting with democracy.
They felt that Jerry was too good at stirring up trouble.
But they like it.
"Councilor Jerry is right. This operation lacks consideration."
The president felt that he had no choice but to pull out the arrow.
He rejected the representative of the Gonghe party on the spot and said firmly, "Since it's been made public, I'll be frank and talk about the benefits. I must get the Land of Mercenaries!"
If the United States could really take over the Land of Mercenaries, it would be a great joy. After all, if the country benefited, their interests would be the same. Although the two parties were at loggerheads in terms of political power, it was just a money game between the rich and the powerful. Whoever got the Land of Mercenaries would benefit. At most, it would just be a matter of how much the two sides would get.
"Continue." The opposing Gonghe party signaled the president to continue.
The president looked at all the representatives and spoke in a forceful voice, "Regarding our first defeat, I admit that we did not fully understand the Land of Mercenaries and neglected the harsh environment there. Everyone, what I want to say is that the Land of Mercenaries is far more complicated and dangerous than we had imagined. To our soldiers, conquering the Land of Mercenaries is no less than conquering the Vietnam War!"
Jerry snorted disdainfully. "Do you mean to say that your defeat is within reason? Or was it that this battle was destined to end in defeat? If that's the case, why did you send the soldiers to die? You don't respect their human rights! "
The president said in an impassioned voice, "Those who achieve great things do not bother with trifles! Everyone here should know how much we are willing to pay for crude oil! The United States is good at everything, surpassing all other countries in all aspects, but when it comes to crude oil, we have always been held back by the Middle East country bumpkins. Therefore, crude oil and underground mineral resources are a political task for us! Not to mention that I'm the one who took office, even if it was all of you sitting here, you would also think of ways to do something in this regard. Therefore, I think no one here will object to this price in exchange for a legitimate reason to station troops in the Land of Mercenaries. We can take this opportunity to use the excuse that there is no government in the Land of Mercenaries to control the situation. We are worried that the citizens of the country will be harmed, and we can use the slogan of seeking peace to station the peacekeepers! "
Everyone's eyes lit up.
The peacekeepers were the special forces of the United Nations, responsible for supervising the armistice.
Since the United States would be stopped by other countries, no one would object to the peacekeepers.
Jerry didn't expect the president in front of him to have the courage to reverse the situation. He felt that he had lost tonight.
Back in his villa, Jerry threw his coat on the sofa and said to his assistant, "Help me make an appointment with Mr. Statham."
"Yes, Senator."
Statham came to Jerry's house in the evening.
Jerry drank a glass of red wine and said somewhat dispiritedly, "I impeached the president today, but this guy really has a trick up his sleeve. I don't think there's any way to make him lose points in front of those capitalists for the time being."
Statham: "Tell me, what happened?"
After Jerry briefly told Statham what happened today, he tentatively asked, "Do you have any information about your boss?"
Statham smoked and didn't speak. He was thinking and digesting the information that Jerry had told him.
After a long time, he tentatively asked, "Mr. Jerry, have you joined any organization?"
Jerry frowned. "What do you mean?"
Statham: "For example … the Jews have their own organizations, and the blacks have their own organizations and guilds. What about you? Do you want to join a new organization? "
Jerry shook his head. "I'm sorry, I'm not in the mood for the time being."
"Understood." Statham nodded and stood up. "Then, if there's any information, I'll tell you again."
When Jerry walked Statham to the door, he couldn't help but ask, "Your boss is also in this organization?"
"Any organization has a confidentiality agreement. Sorry," Statham said to him.
"Understood." Jerry nodded, but he felt that Statham seemed very mysterious and cautious, which made him a little curious about the organization he was talking about.
