The United States.
Congress.
In the large hall, the president sat in the chief seat without saying a word.
The guy watching him from below was Senator Morton from the social faction.
In private, after Senator Jerry gave him a look, the way Morton looked at the president changed. He was like a vicious dog that saw a bone.
"Mr. President, have you seen everything that happened outside?"
The president did not speak.
Now, whatever he said was wrong, because all of this was a problem with his policy.
Morton narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't you have anything to say? How are you going to appease the lives of more than a thousand people in New York? In addition, New York is the world's largest economic hub. Now that it has been destroyed, many businessmen and investors have left. The economic loss this time should be on the scale of tens of billions of dollars, right? Who was the one who strongly opposed sending troops to the Land of Mercenaries? "
"It was us!" Morton stood up and looked at everyone. He said passionately, "We, the social faction, told you not to fight! What is that country? It's a cancer. They live in this world, and every day they live is worth it. They have long been indifferent to life and death. You play with them! Aren't you asking for trouble? The aircraft carrier went around the entire Indian Ocean, spanning such a large distance and consuming manpower and material resources, and the result? They were completely wiped out! There was also a scandal of shooting and bombing ordinary people who could not resist. More than 50,000 people! What's the difference between this and an inhumane massacre? Don't forget that this is an era of peace. You set a precedent for a massacre. How can we, who have always upheld international law, live in peace? Who will serve the United States in the future? The point is, you are still stubborn and do not admit it! What kind of thick skin allows you to ignore all this public opinion? Mr. President, I ask you to answer these questions of mine. If you can't answer them today, it means that you are not capable of dealing with the current problem. We, the social faction, oppose you and your team continuing to lead the United States. "
"I don't think the current situation is a disaster for the United States." At this moment, the President suddenly thought of an excuse. He raised his head and met Morton's gaze. He retorted, "The American people have lived in peace for decades, so much so that they don't even have to worry about anything. But this time, don't you feel that they are unprecedentedly united? Everyone has seen that they have always rejected outsiders from speaking up for us. Even if we are wrong, their protection will only make us continue to be wrong. As long as we take down the Land of Mercenaries, all the doubts in this world will become a laughable thing of the past! Do we, the United States of America, need someone to decide for us what to do? If that's the case, is that still America? The strong should have the privilege of the strong! Why are Americans so proud of themselves? Because we are strong! Let the doubters question us now. As long as they are not of our race, no matter what we do, they will always question us. However, what Merrica loves to do the most is to slap them in the face when they question us! Public opinion can only be controlled by the victors. As long as we persevere and wait until the moment of victory, I will aim the cannon at whoever dares to say anything! At that time, who would dare? "
Morton chuckled. "What can you do even if you destroy the Land of Mercenaries? To be honest, that country is not suitable to build a military missile deployment base. Its neighboring countries and surroundings cannot threaten Asia's Hua and Russia at all. From a strategic point of view, it is already inappropriate. I don't understand, what's the point of this war? In addition, you only lost 50,000 people, but you have already suffered from the counterattack of the outsiders in New York City. More than 1,000 people have already died. Are you going to destroy tens of millions of people in the Land of Mercenaries and exchange the lives of millions of Merrica's people? Where do you put the safety of the people? Are you going to benefit the people in exchange for benefits, or are the people going to sacrifice themselves for your rights and become tools for you to intimidate other countries? "
Morton looked at the president suspiciously. "You don't know how to run this country! Let's not talk about your so-called war first. You should think about how to deal with the current organization of outsiders. If you can't even handle the affairs of your own country, don't go out and embarrass yourself by fighting a war. "
The president gritted his teeth. "Don't worry, the outsiders won't be free for too long. If I can't deal with them at my own doorstep, I will voluntarily step down!"
"Good!" Morton immediately decided. "I hope you can keep your word!"
After the meeting ended, the president, accompanied by his assistant, followed Morton in the long corridor.
The war between the two spread from Congress to private.
"Mr. Morton, I heard that the boss behind Mandala Studio is actually with the outsiders?" The president smiled faintly. "Otherwise, I really can't understand why you deliberately target me, but always speak up for the Land of Mercenaries. What are you after?"
Morton smiled. "What are you after? You have caused the United States to be in its current situation. Frankly speaking, with your foundation and connections, you can't last until now. But you haven't been removed from office yet. What is the person behind you after? If I don't speak up, will you lead the United States to destruction? "
The president: "Don't use the interests of the United States as a cover. The Land of Mercenaries is behind you. Do you think I don't know?"
Morton: "Say whatever you want. If you're not happy, you can get your FBI to deal with the socialists."
The president gritted his teeth.
If he wanted to deal with them, he would have done it long ago.
Not to mention him, even Rockefeller, who was behind the president, had actually dealt with the socialists before. He didn't expect the appearance of Mandala Studio to strengthen the social relationships of the socialists. It was also that hospital and top medical skills that made the rich speak up for them!
The socialists were now the third largest party after the two major parties. It was really difficult to deal with them!
"You're especially complacent. The socialists have grown wings this year, but it doesn't mean that you can fly up to the top. So what if I step down? It's not your turn to sit. There's another party. According to the rules, it's their turn to sit next term. As for you? No way! "The president said.
Morton smiled. "It doesn't matter. In fact, I was a worthless nobody at the beginning. But today, or in the future, if I can pull you down, I'm already a big shot. What do you call this? No matter the result, as long as you're serious with me, you lose! Like now. "
"You!" The president was speechless.
Morton left a sarcastic smile and walked away.
Jerry, who passed by the two of them and saw this scene, couldn't help but give Morton a thumbs up. He thought to himself, This person Stenson found is really good! Just now, every question he asked in Congress hit the nail on the head, forcing the president to issue a military order.
