"Let's take action!" Steve got the notification from the flagship and said to the others.
Even though there are only two chapters in this quarrel, in fact, the two sides reached an agreement very quickly. SHIELD has nothing to do. They don't want to deal with the Spear situation, but the problem is that the situation is stronger than the people, and now the Arctic side
The problem is so serious that they have to be cautious. If one mistake is not made, it could lead to a world-class disaster, or even the end of the world. The climate problem is not just something to talk about casually. One mistake can really kill all mankind.
No, SHIELD doesn't even care about the president. Anyway, the president is elected once every four years. If he dies, he will choose another one.
"What's going on?" Hawkeye looked at the phantom woman in front of him with some caution. He didn't get the notification from there.
Steve said.
The phantom woman opposite smiled slightly.
Hawkeye was very unhappy: "Since you arrived so early, why didn't you inform us of the situation on the seabed? At this time, you are actually unwilling to share your information?"
The unique arrogance and double standards of Americans.
As a furry bear, Phantom Girl is naturally impossible to coddle.
"It sounds like you have informed me!"
Eagle Eye stopped talking.
Indeed, the eldest brother does not talk about the second brother.
Steve stopped the two people from bickering: "Okay, let's stop talking. I really don't understand. I used to think that the lessons of World War II would make us abandon those meaningless hatreds, but after so many years, why are we still
same as before."
Steve actually has no ill feelings toward the Soviet Union. He is a poor man and not a capitalist. Why does he hate the Soviet Union?
He really experienced World War II. He had personal experience of the war at that time. Although history books have always emphasized that the Americans were the biggest contributors to that war, even he was written up in great detail. It seems that he was not there.
It's like we couldn't win World War II.
Steve knows very well that that's not the case at all. He is just a soldier. No matter how powerful he is, he has no ability and cannot affect the whole. If he can boost morale, he does his job, but he can change the situation of the war. At most, he can stop Hydra in the end.
Blow up New York.
Americans should be grateful to him, but to say that he changed the situation of the war is really an exaggeration.
The Soviet battlefield was the turning point of the war. If Germany had not lost too much blood in Russia, and the subsequent counterattack on the Eastern Front was under too much pressure, it would have been difficult for the Allies to win in the Western European battlefield.
But until the end of the war, the West has turned a blind eye to the Soviet Union's contribution.
This was hard for Steve to understand.
"Then let me ask you what the United States has done?" Phantom Woman said disdainfully.
"Shut up!" Hawkeye retorted.
But even Hawkeye is too embarrassed to talk about the evil empire. After all, the United States has done the same things that the Soviet Union has done, and it has done it even more.
But losing people does not lose the formation.
"Okay! Then it's up to you to guard our retreat."
"Captain!" Hawkeye was not happy, he was afraid that the other party would do something.
Have to guard against it.
"Hmph! Don't worry, we Russians are not like you Americans who specialize in doing disgusting things."
"you!"
"Okay!" Steve shook his head and interrupted the argument between the two: "Our people are right above our heads. Even if she really wants to do something, she can't do it, right?"
Steve had a headache: "We didn't mean that..."
"No matter what you mean, please don't worry, we have no interest in you. After all, you are not as important as you think. To put it bluntly, you are just small characters. Even if we really have to deal with them, they are like Batman Knight King or Iron Man."
People, you are not worthy of us losing your reputation."
Steve grinned. Although he thought he was not a person who cared about reputation, he still felt a little embarrassed after hearing this.
But this is indeed true.
When it comes to Steve's abilities, he can't say he doesn't have them. But that's it. Things like destroying the world and destroying the earth are absolutely impossible. And the three people just mentioned are indeed people who can change the entire situation of the war.
Several major incidents were resolved by their intervention.
Steve is also a borderline ob character. It can't be said that he didn't help, but with him or without him, it doesn't make much difference.
"Oh well……"
…
Just when a group of people were stumbling to cooperate, there was also a problem at the White House.
"What did Chancellor Exon say?"
Deputy Secretary of Defense, General Edward Clegg, is chairing the meeting, which is also attended by Lynne Jobs.
Lynn Jobs is the director of the Secret Service.
She was relatively lucky. She took leave due to some personal matters and was not at the headquarters, so she was lucky not to be killed in the bombing.
Now there are only three or two kittens left in the Secret Service.
For this reason, she was also suspected. After all, it was a coincidence that she, the director, asked for leave.
However, in view of her past experience and reasonable reasons for taking leave, Admiral Clegg guaranteed that she would be exempted from investigation and participation in meetings. However, it is conceivable that after this crisis, no matter what the outcome, she will retire.
.
Such a big pot... cannot be carried by two people.
She doesn't even want to be responsible.
Lynn Jobs: "Mr. Speaker, refuse to enact the Presidential Succession Act."
At this stage, they have lost contact with the president, and no one knows what happened inside the White House. Is the president safe? Will the bunker be breached? Is he being held hostage?
But everyone is thinking about the worst case scenario, so Admiral Clegg and others believe that the Presidential Succession Act can be implemented!
After all, no one knows what will happen next, so you must plan ahead.
The most important point is that there is a nuclear bomb suitcase inside the bunker! This is the most important thing. If it is not sure whether this thing is safe, the federal government must make emergency preparations and abolish the nuclear bomb launch code possessed by the president.
But according to the procedures, this set of passwords can only be mastered by the president!
In other words, if you want to abolish the presidential code, you need to change the president.
This is why General Clegg and a group of others are hurriedly demanding the implementation of the Presidential Succession Act. They don't care who the president is, and the most important thing is to change the password!
"Why?" Admiral Clegg asked: "Doesn't he know what this country is facing now?"
"He said that the Presidential Succession Act can only be carried out when the president dies, becomes incapacitated, resigns or is impeached, or is unable to perform his duties for other reasons! The president is still in the bunker, which does not comply with the provisions of the act."
"Damn it! Can't these politicians take their due responsibilities?!" Admiral Clegg obviously didn't think so. He just thought that Speaker Exxon didn't want to take responsibility.
Lynn Jobs lowered her head. She could understand Speaker Exon's concerns.
Is there nothing wrong with the president now?
Then Speaker Exon is embarrassed. He actually overthrew President Benjamin. What will he do after President Benjamin returns?
And according to speculation from all parties, the president should be safe now.
"Go and persuade him immediately!"
Admiral Clegg could only continue to send people.
"Now the entire United States, no, the entire world, is threatened! He can't stay still!"
Although the President's nuclear bomb suitcase is not like the legend, press a button and all the nuclear bombs in the United States will be launched. After all, many nuclear warheads require human control. Now that the White House has been captured, it is basically known to the whole world.
No soldier would be stupid enough to believe the order to launch a nuclear bomb. Launching a nuclear war is a very, very serious matter, and it cannot be left to a button from the president. It is just an order, and the order must be executed by people.
But that doesn't mean that that thing is really just a message transmitter.
In fact, that handbag contained a huge amount of information, including information on nuclear bomb deployment and the nuclear bomb's self-destruction procedures!
This thing is to ensure that under certain extreme circumstances, the president can prevent the nuclear bomb from detonating!
Once this thing is obtained by the enemy, that means that the enemy can make the United States lose its nuclear deterrence capability for a period of time!
This is no joke!
So the Presidential Succession Act must be implemented!
"Yes."
Admiral Clegg suddenly thought of something, and then asked: "If... I mean if, Exxon still disagrees, can we... bypass him?"
The order of succession of the President of the United States is the Vice President of the United States - Speaker of the United States House of Representatives - President Pro Tempore of the Senate - Secretary of State of the United States - Secretary of the Treasury - Secretary of Defense - Attorney General - Secretary of the Interior - Secretary of Agriculture - Secretary of Commerce - Secretary of Labor - Secretary of Health and Human Services, etc.
Now the Vice President, the President Pro Tempore of the Senate, the Secretary of State, the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of Defense, the Minister of Justice, the Secretary of the Interior and other cabinet ministers are all locked up in the bunker. After all, the standards of the White House party are quite high, plus there are
Wanting trouble in the Arctic, the president summoned a series of important ministers to attend the meeting.
As a result, all important cabinet ministers were in the White House bunker.
"General... we can't overturn the Constitution. And now, besides the Speaker, the closest successor is the Secretary of Health and Human Services... That's too far behind."
Lynn Jobs said very embarrassedly.
Now that the big guys are trapped, the only qualified person is the Speaker of the House of Representatives. If the Speaker is bypassed and a Secretary of Health and Human Services whom no one knows takes over... it will be too controversial.
Even the Minister of Service cannot accept it himself.
"Is there no other way?"
"Yes... that is to immediately rush to the Senate, hold a vote, and elect a temporary speaker. Then the temporary president will perform the duties of the Senate President, and then proceed with the Presidential Succession Act." Lynn Jobs gave a solution that is not a solution.
This method is not the best. After all, the Speaker of the House of Representatives is still outside and is qualified and capable to take over the duties of the President. It would be superfluous and unconstitutional for you to put so much effort into electing a temporary Senate Speaker.
"But the best way is to get Speaker Exon to accept it."
The consequences of the military's violation of the constitution are too serious.
None of the parties want to see the U.S. military involved in politics.
It is too easy to form a military government. The U.S. military is influential, has force, even financial resources, and has huge interest groups. If they are allowed to come into contact with the political power... the consequences are simply unimaginable.
Especially for politicians.
"Okay...as soon as possible!"
…
On an airplane.
A gray-haired old man was having a video conference with a group of people.
"Exxon, this is our opportunity as a Republican!"
These are some big shots from the Democratic Party.
"Yes, Benjamin has changed the Presidential Term Act. If we don't do something, we Republicans will not have a chance for many years to come!"
Benjamin is indeed a very popular president. Although he suffered many disasters, voters still trust him. After all, although there were many disasters during his tenure, he did not cause any major troubles. No one thinks that the earth will enjoy peace in the future.
, so instead of letting a new person take over, it would be better for Benjamin to stay in office. At least he is doing a good job, right?
No one wants to bet on an uncertain new president in an uncertain future.
As Benjamin's term progresses, the members of the Nuclear Party have become the majority in both houses. If this continues, the future of the Nuclear Party will be worrying!
"Cheney...Benjamin is still alive now! Is it really okay for us to discuss this?"
Speaker Exon said with a bitter look.
Speaker Exxon is not an outstanding politician, he was just promoted by Benjamin to balance the two parties. This is evident from his background as a nuclear supplier.
After all, the Speaker of the House of Representatives is also elected by members of the House of Representatives, so most of the time the Speaker of the House of Representatives comes from the majority party, but unfortunately, the majority parties in both houses now are the Democratic Party.
To put it bluntly, Exxon's rise to power was entirely based on Benjamin's concessions to the nuclear supply party in order to balance the two parties.
Although he made concessions, Benjamin could not let a powerful figure check and balance him, so Exxon was a kind of moderate good old guy with little courage and no strong political resources. He was just a mascot.
The big guys from the nuclear supply party opposite also had bitter looks on their faces.
Of course they know what Exxon is like.
Even they can understand the reason why Exxon is unwilling to take over. They all say that Exxon is a good old guy, has no courage, and his political resources are not comparable to those of the big guys. Even if he becomes the president, he will still be a puppet.
And after a short term, he will definitely get out immediately. No matter they, the Donkey Party or the Elephant Party, it is impossible for him to remain in the position of president. After all, Qin lost his deer and the whole world chased him away. Exxon itself has no ability.
Why let him sit? Everyone is waiting to take the seat!
This president has a damn thing, he has no power, and he wants to get out right away.
What are you going up for?
"No more hesitation! Exxon!" It's understandable, but it's impossible for the Donkey Party to let such a good opportunity go away!
What a great opportunity is this?
Once the matter is over, no matter how good Benjamin is, they can all promote the next one. No matter how good Exxon is, he can always get some credit. A name that is called upon in times of crisis is indispensable, right?
Although Exxon has no use for this credit, it can benefit other candidates of the Donkey Party!
Then the president can fight for it?
Benjamin put too much pressure on the Donkey Party. He couldn't fight before, but now that he has the chance, he has to fight no matter what!
