No matter what the U.S. government or that mysterious organization does next, nothing can change one thing, and that is the carnival of public opinion!

Whether it is the attack on the White House or the rescue of the president, it is the biggest whirlpool of public opinion this year. Almost everyone is expressing their own opinion. Today, there are two voices in the American public opinion field. One is naturally the traditional power of the United States.

——Start a war!

This voice is loud, and many Americans feel unsafe. After all, even the White House, the center of the United States, has been captured by terrorists. So where is the safest place in this country? This strong sense of insecurity makes many people choose

Support the United States in retaliating against this terrorist attack.

And North Korea naturally became that target!

Many people are calling for war against North Korea.

But this voice has encountered an obstacle, and that is the attitude of North Korea's neighboring countries.

Will Russia allow the United States to launch a war against North Korea?

Can China allow it?

Just think about it and you know you can't.

It is impossible for them to turn the Korean Peninsula into a forward base for the United States, and Japan and South Korea are not willing to do so either.

For Japan, North Korea is indeed a security threat to them, but war is not an option they want. After all, North Korea is too close to Japan, and their missiles can threaten the Japanese mainland at any time. Japan has never thought of going to war.

South Korea's unification has put itself under threat.

Not to mention South Korea. If a war breaks out, they will be the first to be affected. Don't think that South Korea, like China, always longs for reunification. For many Koreans, they are exactly opposed to reunification.

The development of South Korea is abnormal. The large chaebols preside over the entire South Korean economy. As a result, the economic dividends have not been enjoyed by the majority of the people at the bottom. The social resources provided by the Korean people at the bottom are already very scarce. South Korea is the most stressful place in the world.

One of several countries. If the peninsula is unified, it will inevitably tilt South Korea's economy to lag behind North Korea in development, leaving less resources for the South Korean people. (This can be seen in West Germany after the merger of the two Germanys.

Economic assistance to East Germany)

This has led to many Koreans, especially young people, not being enthusiastic about the reunification of the peninsula, and even being very repulsive towards it.

Well, what good will it do to them if the United States attacks North Korea?

No, not only would they have to go through war, but they would also have to bear the consequences of subsequent reunification.

So the country with the most serious opposition is South Korea.

Even though South Korea played a disgraceful role in this matter, it had to stand up and oppose it.

Therefore, the voice of launching a war in the United States is very loud, but among the upper-class people who really control the fate of this country, they all have a conservative attitude towards war. After all, North Korea... what are the benefits of defeating it?

That is a poor and desperate barren land. Even the food needs external assistance. It costs a lot to capture it, but not much can be obtained. It even has to face interference from two big countries!

Even the United States feels frightened when faced with the alliance between China and Russia.

War means are not cost-effective.

Another voice in the public opinion field is more interesting.

They are reflecting.

Reflect on why the United States is the most vulnerable country to terrorist attacks in the world.

There has never been unreasonable hatred in this world. If the United States is really doing well, who would be so full that they would cause trouble to the United States?

So what happened to the United States?

So a group of people began to reflect.

This reflection is terrible.

The United States has always had a strong anti-war mentality. This trend of thought has been very popular in the United States since the Vietnam War.

They believe that the reason why the United States is targeted in various ways is that it launches too many unjust wars. Although the United States often says that they attack a country to liberate those countries, in fact, they only bring chaos and war.

Other than that, nothing was brought.

Iraq and Afghanistan both confirm this.

Except for Saudi Arabia and a few small countries, no country in the entire Middle East has a favorable impression of the United States.

And it is precisely these people who have become the main force of terrorists.

As a result, many people began to intensify their efforts to call for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from those places, and some even became more radical. They wanted the U.S. to withdraw its troops from all over the world.

This is of course impossible. The international social order led by the United States relies on the establishment of overseas troops stationed in all transportation hubs around the world. This is the guarantee of American hegemony. Without these, what would the United States do?

Depress the whole world?

Without the guarantee of force, the U.S. dollar is worthless.

In short, public opinion was very lively during this period.

In order to calm these public opinions, President Benjamin, who had just undergone surgery, had to give a speech in the ward.

This may be the most bizarre presidential speech in the entire history of the United States.

Benjamin started working without even removing the various tubes on his body.

There is no other way. Although he called for reforms and reductions in military spending, he never thought about a global withdrawal of U.S. troops. He is always the president of the United States and must prioritize national interests.

His reforms are to reduce defense spending, replace force with diplomacy, and invest more money in people's livelihood, so as to narrow the gap between the rich and the poor and increase the employment rate.

While Benjamin was speaking, Kay and Margaret were outside the ward.

"Thank you, Kay." Margaret was really, really grateful to Kay, even though Kay shot Benjamin. But Margaret was not an ordinary woman. In her opinion, Benjamin could be rescued without too much trouble.

Big damage is the biggest victory.

"You're welcome...by the way, how long do you want to keep me?"

After this incident, Kai never returned to Los Angeles. It was not that he didn't want to leave, but Margaret and Benjamin's very enthusiastic efforts to persuade him to stay, which delayed his trip again and again.

Margaret and Benjamin both had lingering fears about this incident, and at the same time they were extremely distrustful of the security around them. After all, the facts are there, the White House was easily breached, and the president almost died in the White House. This level of security,

No one can rest assured.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! And due to the previous terrorist attack, basically only one Banning died in the White House Presidential Guard... Even though the Secret Service has repeatedly emphasized that they will send out elites

Protect the safety of the president, but this requires the trust of the president and his wife.

But the president's safety could not be left unprotected, so the couple thought of Kai.

They hoped that Kay would stay with them for a while, and Margaret even thought about asking Kay to be their personal bodyguard. However, this decision was protested by the Secret Service and several other departments, and even the big bosses in Congress were persuaded.

President, don’t make the Secret Service look too ugly. After all, if the President really does this, he will undoubtedly tell the people that he, the President, does not believe in the government. This is a very serious political incident and will greatly damage the morale of the people.

So Benjamin had no choice but to give in. He was the highest official of the government. If he didn’t even believe in the government, how could the people still have trust in the government?

As a condition, Benjamin asked Congress to authorize him to lead the new team of the Secret Service and his Guards.

Congress has not forced this point.

They can't force it, so what can they say? The White House has been breached. Doesn't the president believe that there is something wrong with the original team?

So Benjamin sent his most trusted Banning and Davis to reorganize the Presidential Guard. Their loyalty has been tested, and Duke has also been absorbed into the Presidential Guard. Another thing is Duke's ex-girlfriend

...The woman who turned Duke away has now been investigated because she actually left her job moments before the attack.

Although she herself said that it was her boss, the agent in charge of the White House Department of the Secret Service, who gave him leave.

But now all the Secret Service agents in the White House are dead... and there is no place to verify it.

In short, under the guiding ideology of rather trusting what she has than trusting what she doesn't, she went on vacation. As for when she will come back.

That's not clear.

Of course, the president's wife is indispensable for this, but she does have loopholes and is a problem.

It will take time to form the new Presidential Guard, so Margaret hopes that Kay can serve as temporary security during this period.

"Kay... Banning and the others need time. I know this is troublesome for you, but I don't trust anyone now. I can only trust you."

After all, he is a friend, and it’s really hard for Kai to refuse. Although he thinks that this kind of attack will happen again, but what to say? The President of the United States, this is the most popular target in the world. Basically, those countries that are unhappy with the United States will

Make him a target.

"Okay...but I can only stay for a week at most. I still have a lot of things waiting for me in Los Angeles."

In fact, had it not been for the attack on the White House, public opinion would still be in Los Angeles. After all, the war that took place in the United States was boring enough for Americans to talk about it for many days. But now the White House has stolen the limelight in Los Angeles.

But the problem is that being robbed of the limelight cannot solve the problems Los Angeles needs to face now. The Los Angeles police are still working overtime.

So one week is the limit.

Benjamin was very busy. He had just given a televised speech. Before the live broadcast equipment in the ward could be removed, Old Edward came to the ward with several military personnel. Old Edward is now the Deputy Minister of Defense in charge of acting ministerial responsibilities.

Because Secretary of Defense Ruth McMillan is still recovering from her injuries in the hospital, among the hostages held hostage, she and the president were the only ones seriously injured. The others were not involved in Sebers's secrets, so nothing happened except that they were

Except for the few unlucky guys who were shot.

From the look on Old Edward's face, you knew that this was something serious, so the president's temporary guards soon ordered those who were still cleaning the live broadcast equipment to leave the ward immediately.

Margaret did not enter the ward. Although there is no such thing as a harem intervening in politics in the United States, generally speaking, no one would like the president’s wife to be too involved in these confidential matters. After all, it is the president who is elected, and the president’s wife is

By the way. (There are exceptions. For example, President Carter’s wife will attend her husband’s ministerial meetings, and Clinton’s wife also participates in state affairs, but most presidential wives are unlikely to get involved in these matters)

But Kai was left behind.
