Chapter 228 The Era of Grinding Teeth and Sucking Blood
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!
This was the only thing they could react to at this time.
"Why is the United States so powerful? Everyone and every family here knows it very well!"
"Plunder! Kill! Eliminate dissidents! Concoct a coup!"
One by one, bloody words popped out of the president's mouth without any restraint.
Every word here could get the biggest page in newspapers tomorrow on the entire planet!
Not to mention the experts and scholars present, most of the politicians and congressmen were at a loss in embarrassment, either folding their hands in a defensive posture, or trying their best to tidy up their already clean and tidy appearance, and pretended not to hear anything.
Garrett Walker, did this guy take the wrong medicine? How dare he put these
"You are surprised, how dare I?"
Walker stepped up to the high platform where the speaker was sitting and snatched the gavel from his hand.
"Bang Bang Bang" knock three times.
His expression was fierce, as if he was not knocking on the table, but on someone's head!
"Wake up! Everyone! Wake up the fuck!"
"The world has changed!"
Amidst the roar, veins burst out from the necks of the originally gentle white elite.
"Titans! These god-like beasts! Monsters! Every now and then they come to the human world and cause trouble!"
"It's over, I'm happy. I'm leaving behind all the human beings who have suffered heavy casualties regardless of high or low status. It's like leaving behind an ant's nest that's tired of playing!"
He deliberately emphasized the politically incorrect word "no distinction between high and low", but all the MPs in the audience looked solemn because of this.
Although no one can talk about "noble" life and "lowly" life in recent decades, it does not prevent everyone from knowing clearly in their hearts.
"The global economy is hopeless, respect reality!"
After calming the audience, Walker lowered his voice, but his tone was still cold to the bones of everyone.
“The development of finance is essentially the public’s optimistic expectations for the future. But now”
"Humanity has fallen from the top of the food chain. No one can run the economy well when the lives of the public may be threatened at any time. No one!"
"This is a revolution! An unprecedented revolution!"
"Since entering the Stone Age, human beings have to fight and fight again! Not for property, not for power, not for that damn, uncontrollable lower body!"
"But for the most basic and simple pursuit - survival!"
Walker looked around at everyone again, and this time no one dared to avoid his sight, even though his heart was still creepy.
"Do you think that the war between that worthy gentleman and Muto was to protect the United States?"
"For the 'Lighthouse of Freedom'? For the countless money, luxury cars, and yachts? For the beautiful women in Hollywood, the sweethearts who can break their waists when sitting on you?"
There was faint laughter coming from the ground.
Low-brow jokes were a common tactic in speeches, and they interpreted them as a sign that Walker was trying to lighten the mood.
But the smart man frowned. The content of his current speech had nothing to do with ordinary speeches.
Walker showed a cooperative expression and stared at everyone with a half-smiling expression.
But the next moment, his smile was frozen in deep anger.
"Do you have shit in your head?!"
The unvarnished and vicious curse made all the audience in the conference room tremble.
"That respectable gentleman, what he wants to protect is the world's largest industrial country! It is the top three food producer in the world! It is a technological powerhouse that has dozens or hundreds of colleges and universities and can export high-level talents in batches!"
"Luxury cars, yachts, beautiful women. Use your pitifully small brains! Do you think these things have even a little bit of value in his eyes?"
Walker mockingly used his knuckles desperately, trying to convey a small enough concept. He pinched his knuckles until they turned white.
"It was to protect these fragile, interconnected production relations that he went to war with that damn MUTO!"
"Who the hell cares about the wishes of civilians? Who the hell wants to save the assets of Wall Street bankers?"
"Even if Lehman Brothers gives me their son-of-a-bitch company now, in my eyes it is not as good as Monsanto's controlling interest! Even if it is only 1%!"
After finishing speaking, Walker looked at the silent venue and exhaled.
Then he put down the gavel leisurely and straightened his tie and cufflinks.
The hysterical ferocity and ferocity when he spoke seemed to disappear in an instant.
It's like returning to the White House and becoming the gentle "good guy" Walker again.
"Dear colleagues, the purpose of the meeting is to reach consensus."
"The financial industry is irreparably ruined. Everyone has tried their best to save it, but unfortunately, we are helpless."
Walker showed an understanding expression to the audience, and the legislators looked at each other to see if they had "exerted all their efforts"?
No matter, nod!
So everyone agreed.
"But, the future world should have a certain tone, right?"
Everyone's eyes were looking expectantly at Walker on the stage.
He didn't show off either.
"In the future, the secondary industry will be prosperous because it is the cornerstone of human survival and development. The primary industry will also be prosperous because we need it to support the population for our secondary industry. It is also the foundation for all ordinary people in the world.
Source of security. But the third industry”
Walker's reserved and arrogant smile was as dignified as that of an old European aristocrat.
"It will exist, but it only exists. Because everyone here needs fun, the people also need fun, and more importantly, the giant beasts, their desires are still as burning as fire, and we should satisfy them no matter what.
"
The congressmen in the audience nodded in agreement.
"As for human rights? Discrimination? Everyone knows and understands these terms."
"There's no doubt about it - they're all rubbish that will hinder our survival in the harsh world to come!"
The shocking speech came from Walker's mouth in an understatement, and at this time, no one in the audience was surprised by it.
"The people won't say anything, because by then, they will have been frightened like quails by the cruel storms of the 'outside world'. The tragic situation of people who lack strength and protection will keep them awake. So.
.”
Walker motioned to a black man in a suit and tie in the audience.
"Let's get started, Mr. Myron."
"Your Excellency, what does 'action' mean?" The black man stood up helplessly.
If he is not confused, then his power is related to the military. And the president mentioned him at this time
"The National Guard was dispatched, fully armed, fully loaded with ammunition, armored vehicles, fighter jets, and armed helicopters."
Walker's calm words made black people sweat.
"What are you talking about?"
"I will give you a casualty quota of 500,000. Before this quota is used up, you must safely evacuate those 3 million people."
Walker leaned against the speaker's desk, his cold eyes making it impossible for the black man to say "no".
"There are no 'human rights' anymore, Mr. Myron. People in trouble are worse than dogs. We are saving them, aren't we?"
"The only time the United States has been hit by air strikes on its home soil was when white people bombed nigger neighborhoods. Now you can bomb white neighborhoods."
Walker casually said words that were taboo before today.
"No, Mr. President, I am not racist."
"I don't care! Myron!"
The black man stared blankly at the president who interrupted him.
"I don't give a fuck if you nigga are racist, I just need you to make them understand that trying to defend their property and freedom with those watery toys in their hands is a joke!"
"They don't even have an F22, but they still deserve it?!"
"I want you to shoot, set fire, and bomb! Drive those stubborn civilians out of their houses and stuff them into shelters away from the river!"
"I have to emphasize something to you: this is the job that Mr. Baitang gave me, and I don't want to fail it, not at all! But if you dare to fail it,"
"It's over, I completely understand!"
The black man left his seat almost at a trot, knocking down a clerk in a panic on the way.
As he watched his leaving figure, the old voice of the speaker beside Walker came.
The old man who has gone through the storm has long since regained his composure.
"Are you sure you're awake, Walker? You don't look like just three million people died, but like the sun is going to go out tomorrow."
"Does it make any difference to my political career, Mr. Dupont?"
".Indeed not."
The Speaker stared at Walker with interest, as if he was meeting him for the first time.
"I also listened to Mr. Whitehall's speech on 'schism,' Walker."
"so what?"
"No, under the will of those people, Old Dupont and his family are no different from little bugs and can't do anything. It's just that I wanted to go to the south to see Donald's luxury hotel before, but now... it seems like the Walker family's
The northern manor, after removing the complicated surface carvings, is also worth visiting."
Old fox.
Walker cursed inwardly.
But then, he sneered, and under the stunned gaze of the Speaker, Walker picked up the coffee cup in his hand.
Greet him elegantly, as if holding a glass of champagne.
"'The complicated carvings on the surface'. A good metaphor. We have all been wearing this 'civilized' coat for too long, Mr. Dupont. It has been so long that we have forgotten how to survive and make a fortune in a barbaric era."
"It seems that the Walker family has found their memories?"
The Speaker was still testing, but Walker just smiled and drank the coffee.
The bottom of the cup, which was still stained by coffee, was printed directly on the Speaker's previous meeting minutes.
It is full of dazzling data, symbols representing currencies, and complicated financial analysis.
Walker held the table with both hands and looked down at the old man with a smile.
"Welcome back to the age of grinding teeth and sucking blood, Mr. Dupont."
