Chapter 1341 Thunder Strike Weighing the Pros and Cons
Columbia was the first city designed and built in America. It is also one of the cities with the highest quality of life in the entire United States. As the industrial state capital of South Carolina, it has strong industry, technological strength, efficient labor force and international enterprises. Colombia has sufficient finances to build its own city, and it can provide its citizens with more welfare and infrastructure. And this naturally attracted more and more people to flood into the city.
Blacks, whites, Asians, and the likes of Native Americans, Pacific Natives, and Latinos are not uncommon in the city. Although the governor's political intentions have always been biased towards whites, as long as he is still a qualified politician, he will not be able to do things like deporting other ethnicities for the sake of whites. So for such a long time, although the entire United States has been in trouble because of racial discrimination, Columbia, a city far from the center of the vortex, has maintained a basic calm.
But that's the end of its calm, because when the new day comes, many people have seen such a scene.
The omnics that came out from nowhere firmly blocked the state government office building. They rushed in regardless of the security guards' obstruction, and soon, like escorting criminals, they took a large number of A bunch of people were escorted out of this building.
The omnics, who don't shy away from their actions, make their catch visible to all. And when the citizens of Colombia saw that their mayor and governor were taken away by these robots like a quail, they were immediately shocked and a little helpless.
What happened? Why were their mayors and governors arrested by these omnics? Who issued such an order, and why there was no movement from the state government in advance? Many people have such questions in their minds, and it is obvious that they will not get the answers they want in a short while. Not to mention them, even those state government officials who are under control are the same. They were just sitting in the office and suddenly encountered such a thing, which is probably unacceptable to anyone.
Noisy, protesting, and even saying that they use the forces behind them to suppress people. These politicians and bureaucrats have used almost all means to stop the actions of these omnics. But, no matter what they said, the omnics were unmoved. They will not be swayed by words at all, and wanting to really stop them can only be achieved through violence.
And use violence? Not that nobody thought of this. Just look at your little arms and legs,
Looking at the omnic's steel arm thicker than his own thigh, these smart people immediately gave up this unrealistic idea. They would rather continue to protest than do such a risky thing. Because any policeman has the right to kill any target he considers a threat, let alone these omnics. They don't want to just become the dead souls of these omnics. It's too bad to be like that without knowing anything.
The condemnation can only continue, but not everyone is doing this kind of useless work. Like the governor of South Carolina, Mr. Arnold, who is over half a century old, did not do such thankless things.
At this time, he had already guessed the cause and effect of the sudden arrest. And knowing everything, he naturally knew that this was Tony Stark's revenge against himself. He is retaliating for his collusion with the capital forces and for his protection of the 3K Klan. All of this is probably just the beginning for him, and more terrifying things are probably yet to come. So, instead of wasting your precious time here. It's better to think about what you should do next to escape from this predicament.
First of all, what he can be sure of is that Tony Stark will definitely not solve himself secretly. Because after all, he is still the governor of a state, and he is a feudal official of the party in power. In name, they are not even subordinates, so even if Tony is the president of the United States, he does not have the power to secretly execute himself. Once he does that, among other things, the division of the entire United States will be in sight.
It is impossible for other state governments to allow the central government to do such a horrible thing. If there is no law behind it, they will not even allow the Stark government to arrest themselves like this. Because this is infringing on their rights, their interests. Except for the Civil War in the United States for so many years, such a terrible thing has never happened. It is absolutely impossible for them to let the Stark government set a precedent here. So temporarily, his safety can be guaranteed.
Of course, he also needs to be on guard against such a move, that is, be careful of those capitalists, and don't be assassinated by them secretly. Because the current situation is very special, it is hard to say whether those capitalists will abandon themselves in order to blame the central government. He can't trust those guys, those despicable people who only have interests in their hearts have a high chance of doing that. Although he himself admits that this is a good means of attacking the Stark government. But if he wants to take his own life as a sacrifice, then he must be grateful.
This is one of the problems. Since both sides may threaten him, it is better for him to maintain a high degree of vigilance against both sides. As if walking on thin ice, what he was talking about was his current situation. If he made a mistake, he would be doomed forever. He couldn't be careless.
Prudence is, of course, a means of self-preservation. But it doesn't mean that as long as you are cautious, you will be safe and sound. He knew very well in his heart that doing so could only prevent the small means of those capitalists, but it could not deal with the grandiose situation of the Stark government. They dared to arrest themselves with such a big fanfare, they must have some key evidence. But now the only thing that can allow them to do this is to cover up the 3K Klan.
In the oil tanker incident, except for the direct perpetrator who died on the spot, other roles including the planner, the mastermind, and the leader of the 3K Klan were not arrested. They made their way to South Carolina, and here they found their protection.
This is the malady of American law. Even if you commit a serious crime in this state, as long as you can go to other states, then those state police can only do nothing to you. Unless they can get the consent of the local state government, you have no right to search for criminals on people's property at all. Let alone the state police, even the cIa and the FBI directly under the federal government are difficult to do.
Governor Arnold knew this, so he dared to do such a thing. Secretly protect the 3K Klan group and make things difficult for the police who track them down. Many things just go away like this. Of course, what the 3K Klan committed was a major event after all, and it is naturally impossible for everything he has done to be exposed in front of people casually. So all his actions are carried out secretly, which can be regarded as a kind of use of unspoken rules.
This can be regarded as a means to please the capitalists, and it can also be regarded as an attack on the central government. Originally, everything was seamless, but he didn't expect that the Stark government would give him such a fatal blow, and this naturally became a fatal hidden danger for him.
At this time, he only hoped that he would have some good luck, and hope that these tricks he had done were not discovered by others. But with the development of the situation at any time, he found that his extravagant hope was simply unrealistic. Because at this time, omnic had already escorted him directly to the court. And on that court, Tony, the presiding judge, and all the witnesses he was worried about were all there, and nothing was missing.
This made Arnold, who is the governor, start to sink in his heart, but on the surface he still dealt with Tony on the chair in a calm manner.
"President Stark, what do you mean? Why are you sending these goddamn machines to catch me, don't you know what you're doing? You're dividing America, you're giving yourself Make trouble!"
"I really like to ask for trouble, so I don't care about doing it one more time." With a smile, Tony's eyes shifted from Arnold to those members of the Ku Klux Klan. He pointed to them, and asked Arnold like this. "Mr. Governor, do you know any of these guys?"
"I don't know them. What, are you going to put some irrelevant people on my head? Tell you, I will not let you do this. Not only I will not agree, but the laws of the United States and the people Neither will agree. Just let me go if you are sensible, or you are ready to accept impeachment."
It is naturally impossible for Arnold not to know those guys, but now, he has to pretend not to know them. At this moment, he could only sternly yell at Tony, while secretly praying in his heart, praying that these bastards of the 3K Klan would pay more attention and not drag himself into the water casually.
He thought so, but these people didn't think so. Those who have been interrogated before are well aware of their current situation. Putting themselves in a desperate situation in order to protect Anuo, they are not so great yet. So when Tony laid his eyes on them, they immediately shouted.
"Governor Arnold, you can't lie, haven't you been protecting us? You supported us in doing that, and you even provided us with protection afterwards. You even promised us that Once you overthrow the central government and become the next president of the United States, you will create new laws to ensure white dominance in the country. Have you forgotten?"
"I have no idea what you're talking about!"
Arnold gritted his teeth and refused to admit it, avoiding the sight of these people, and then faced Tony directly above him again. At this time, he could not help but become weak.
"President Stark, what exactly do you want to do?"
