Chapter 228 The era of grinding teeth and sucking blood

Casualties are estimated at close to three million people.

Walker didn't want to believe it! That was a bit too easy to say.

——He was extremely! extremely unwilling to believe it!

No President of the United States can bear this level of casualties!

No!

Roosevelt during World War II couldn't do it, and Lincoln during the Civil War couldn't do it.

Not even the man who founded this country, the fucking Washington himself who liked to pull out black people’s teeth!

Walker stared blankly at the empty presidential chair and tugged on his tie blankly.

Three million casualties.

When this number was multiplied ten times and appeared on the land of Europe, the United States felt nothing.

Because they are so far away, the U.S. government will not highlight these market-damaging news.

So the people of the United States, who are generally refined and self-interested, don’t feel that way.

But what is the concept when it comes to Washington?

That’s three times the total number of United States casualties during World War II!

Ten times the death toll!

And according to what Bai Tangjing said, all this will happen in the next few hours?

President Walker was sitting on the small bench, his slender fingers tightly grasping his hair.

At this time, he faced tremendous pressure that was unique among all previous presidents of the United States.

The darkest moments of Roosevelt, Lincoln, and Washington combined were not half as severe as his collapse at this moment!

But he can't escape.

The iceberg is right in front of us. It is not possible to just blindfold the big ship "country" and receive the Lord's grace and automatically avoid it.

The strong mind that had been cultivated since childhood was brought into full play by Walker at this time.

He stabilized his thoughts. Although his eyes were still panicked and distracted, he finally came back to his senses.

"I want to exercise presidential power." Walker swallowed nervously and said to the White House butler who had collapsed under the news.

He had never felt that his throat was so thirsty in his life.

"I want to convene the parliament urgently!"

Meeting, yes. Meeting.

A meeting is needed at this critical moment.

Conferences are the administrative basis of all countries.

Many people don't like it, and even despise it as "a cumbersome procedure that wastes time and life but makes people spin in circles."

However, even if the military government is extremely streamlined and dictatorial to the extreme, they still need a few people to hold a meeting when they launch an action to squeeze the people.

Human strength has come from teams for tens of thousands of years.

A human being without the support of a team, even if the blood of the most noble royal family in the world flows in his veins, is more powerless and fragile than the ants in the wilderness.

The function of meetings is to eliminate differences and unite minds.

Simply put - meetings are the process of "forming" a team.

Excluding meetings is like rejecting social interaction. It depends on personal choice.

But you must understand that, at the same time, your decision is rejecting influence! You are rejecting power!

If you don't speak out during the "forming" stage of the team, do you still want to be important?

Why don't you snap your fingers and make the sun go out?

All parties participating in the meeting will put their demands and energy on the table.

Then they push, pull, and even torture each other and become hostile over the content and goals of the meeting.

One's own abilities, one's own difficulties, the rewards one's side requires afterwards, and various requirements for representatives of other forces, to name a few.

But in the end, the foundation of the team, the so-called "consensus", is born out of this pull.

Walker understood the virtues of his country.

He understands the extreme distrust and lack of security among the people in his country towards the government.

If emergency measures were followed and an evacuation notice was issued directly in Washington, DC, bypassing Congress, then it would not be a matter for the three million people living along the river.

Panicked crowds will riot, rob, kill, and commit adultery. Once order collapses, there is no such thing as a "lower limit."

The killing efficiency of a human stepping on ants is far inferior to that of catching and killing ants among ant populations!

The same is true for the humans in Washington regarding the upcoming MUTO.

"Everyone has a gun, so he doesn't mess up." It's like a joke, but Walker can't even laugh now.

The urgent task before Walker now is how to get the senior officials in Congress to accept the facts.

An underground defense facility in the far northwest of Washington.

This is the farthest location from the military port.

"A bunch of insects!" Walker spat in his mind and cursed fiercely.

"My whole life has been entangled with these things, how can I do politics well?"

But he still has to maintain his image in public.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are facing a challenge unprecedented in the history of the United States. The evacuation of three million people in less than an hour has placed an unprecedented test on the management capabilities and grassroots execution of Washington, D.C.'s government.

What we need to solve are truly systemic and decisive administrative management issues."

Walker tried not to let his anger leak out from behind his mask.

"I again implore you to please make a quick and effective decision for the safety of the three million residents living along Washington's rivers!"

"We are collecting information for a decision that can save the people, Mr. President." The speaker of the parliament looked at Walker impatiently.

"We all know that decisions made without data support may be worse than doing nothing, and we are working hard to prevent such incidents from happening!"

"This is exactly why the meeting is necessary. Do you know what impact a forced evacuation order will have on Wall Street? What impact will it have on international oil prices? Do you think the tragic consequences of an out-of-control economy will be smaller than the loss of three million people?

?”

"Moreover, food, energy, control, and transportation. These all require calculation, communication, and cooperation from various departments! Simply evicting people from their homes in one fell swoop will make the logistics unable to keep up, the resettlement cannot be done, and the property damage cannot be dealt with. You know those people

Because of their temperament, before the Titans really appear and come to them, they will kill the National Guard first because of their distrust and nervousness towards the government!”

"Then we'll kill each other." One of the meeting participants laughed, thinking he was humorous.

But then the cold looks from the president and speaker made him learn how to shut up prudently.

The speaker's mouth twitched and he turned his head back to face Walker.

If that kid hadn't just held two quick reaction units from the Washington Police Department, I would have kicked him back into his mother's womb right now!

Why are you playing politics without even this wink?

"Anyway, Your Excellency, President."

The Speaker looked with a headache at Walker, who was almost unable to hold back his anger.

"Under this systemic problem, our agenda is still very heavy. Can you please not disrupt the progress of the meeting? Everyone, let's move on to the next item now."

"When did I say that I should care about people's feelings?"

A heavy curtain of silence suddenly fell in the venue where experts and scholars were arguing endlessly and politicians and congressmen were arguing with each other.

They all looked at Walker who said this with wide eyes.

It was like seeing an ornamental monkey that was killing humans!

Am I crazy? Or is the world crazy?

The Speaker opened his mouth on the high platform and was speechless.

Walker, on the other hand, had a stern expression and a louder voice, and continued without hesitation.

The corners of the ornamental monkey's mouth bleeding with human blood are still baring teeth!

"Mr. Bai Tangjing, when did you say you care about the feelings of Wall Street bankers again?!"

Walker's sinister eyes scanned the entire venue.

"You all treat 'civilization' as a cover, are you stupid?"

Everyone who looked at him felt a chill coming from the bottom of their hearts.

——This is not the "good guy" Walker!
