Chapter 2160

The confidence of politicians is itself built on falsehood. Their self-righteousness is no substitute for reality.

It's like a virus. They thought it was a small fight, not worth mentioning. It's nothing compared to the political competition they now face. However, the reality is that they will be slapped at this time, making them clearly realize that compared with the cruel reality, their so-called political games are really nothing worth mentioning.

After the virus has experienced a short period of spread and evolution, it has already had an incubation period. And it is precisely because of this incubation period that these blind politicians take it lightly and directly drag themselves into a bottomless abyss.

The hapless congressman was the first to experience such a reaction, and he certainly won't be the last. Accompanied by his terrible symptoms was his death, and this death, of course, touched the hearts of many people.

It's not that out of pity and sympathy, they don't have time to take care of these things now. It's because of the inevitable intersection between politicians, whether it's a public meeting or a private meeting. This has led to everyone who has been in direct or indirect contact with Maria's body becoming a potential carrier of the virus.

No one knows how many people have been in contact with these people, and how many people they have had direct and indirect contact with is almost impossible to verify. These high-ranking guys would not reveal the people they had contacted so easily, because none of these old foxes wanted to reveal their political bias because of this.

Interests, especially personal interests, are the first thing they will consider at any time. Compared with the death threat brought by this virus, they are of course more concerned about this. It's a bit ridiculous to say, as if they don't even want their lives, they just want money. But in fact, this is just a fluke that naturally exists in human nature.

Of course they would be terrified, but at the same time that they were terrified, the luck in their hearts made them feel that no matter who they infected, as long as they could avoid it.

Many people think they are healthy, and they have no close contact with Mrs. Maria who didn't commit suicide, so they think they should be the ones who can be spared. After all, they are the so-called elite after all. Although there is no essential difference between elites and ordinary people, the environment they live in and the protection their wealth can provide them can greatly widen the gap between the two sides.

For example, they can build underground fortresses that are strong enough to defend against nuclear wars, and spend decades in them safely. Ordinary people can only resign themselves to their fate. Even if they survived the nuclear explosion by luck, they can only pick up junk on the wasteland. This is the gap.

For the time being, elites can enjoy comprehensive medical insurance and allow top doctors to serve them. Ordinary people, even if they have medical insurance, only have the option of queuing honestly. And under the premise that this virus does not have any countermeasures, and is so horribly contagious and deadly, what is the difference between going to the hospital and waiting to die?

Of course, this is not something bureaucratic gentlemen will worry about. What they worry about is only themselves, and at most it extends to the interests and allies they are related to. They don't care too much about the life and death of the civilians at the bottom, and this has led to the fact that everyone in the bureaucratic group has not heard the news and has made sufficient preparations for their own safety. In the civilian world, they still don't know anything about it.

Everyone's impression of this turmoil is that the Stark family disappeared and Frank was expelled. As for the congressman who was bleeding to death from his seven orifices in front of the camera, he seemed to be possessed by a ghost. The official explanation for him was that he was cursed by some mysterious power.

And this curse most likely came from Frank.

There is no worry when there are too many debts, and there is no itching when there are too many lice. Anyway, enough dirty water has been poured on Frank, and he doesn't care about adding such a sum. Of course, in order to win people's trust, they didn't just come here with their mouths open. After all, it is impossible for the entire United States to be fools, and no one will stand up and question them even if they talk nonsense. So in order to make their statement seem more real, they even brought out the fact that Frank was a disciple of the Supreme Master.

Judging from the cooperation between the Starks and the Sorcerer Supreme, this does not seem to be an impossible thing. Therefore, following their line of thinking, things seemed to be so true.

As long as Frank can't accept that unlucky congressman desecrating his mother's body in that way, and then cursed him with the magic he learned from the Supreme Mage, I believe it is not a problem to fool most people. Even if someone doubts it, you should come up with evidence first.

This in itself is a matter of no proof. Even if Frank stood up to refute the rumors, they could still say that the child was lying. Judging from Frank's reputation today, there should be very few people who are willing to believe in him. So it doesn't matter what the truth of the matter is, the official has already made a conclusion like this.

Faced with official cover-ups and lies, it is difficult for the public to discern. Although the information channels in modern society are extensive, it is really difficult to distinguish the true from the false. Especially under the premise that the US government, which can turn right and wrong and confuse black and white, will end up personally guiding public opinion, the truth simply has no ability to surface.

Ordinary people in the United States at most know of the existence of such an infectious disease from limited channels, and have certain concerns about the existence of this infectious disease. But there is nothing they can do without anyone telling them exactly where the contagion will appear, among whom it will spread, and what they can do to prevent it.

Smarter people are at best hoarding supplies and staying as far away as possible from people who don't seem right. Those guys who don't even realize the problem can only continue to be happy every day, living their ordinary and boring life.

Everything seems to be calm and calm, and it is probably impossible for ordinary people to realize what kind of turmoil is behind this calm and calm. They just feel that life goes on, and life goes on. It's just that there is a difference between today and tomorrow. And the difference is, every day, it starts to get worse.

The general election of the US government is getting closer and closer, and while the politicians are increasingly competing with each other, they are gradually showing a fierce look.

This is not in peacetime, and there is no truly authoritative government above them restricting their actions. If in the past, everyone only used moves within the rules, then now, all methods, including those outside the table, have been used to the extreme.

Assassination of political opponents is already a common and visible method. And it is not uncommon for people to hire big votes to directly trigger conflicts and riots.

In order to snatch the top spot in the new government, the politicians have used all their means. It can be said that they put almost all their energy on it. And not just them, capitalists too.

After depriving Frank of the power of the Stark family business in the name of legality, the capitalists also hastily launched their offensive, hoping to bite off a big piece of flesh and blood on Stark, a giant beast, so that they can fill it. Satisfy their rumbling stomachs that are impossible to fill.

In some people's opinion, the leaders of this country are crazy. They are completely immersed in their own desires, so that what they should see and hear are almost ignored by them.

Of course, it's the same as some countries and some nations will always have people of insight no matter how degenerate and ignorant they are. Even at this time, not all politicians and capitalists are what they look like.

In the end, someone noticed some extraordinary changes, in the end, someone was able to realize the seriousness of the problem. And although these people may not be able to guide the direction of the mainstream, they can still do something within their own capabilities.

For example, hold the most authentic first-hand data in your own hands.

"This is all the cases sent by several major hospitals. Except for patients with past medical history, all new patients have been classified according to your requirements. Most of them are influenza patients. A small part is due to Some of the other epidemics... Seriously, Coulson, I don't think what we're doing is going to work."

As an old friend in a certain sense, or closer than a friend, almost like a relative, it is obviously difficult for Skye to refuse Coulson. So after she got the request from Coulson, she immediately mobilized all the power in her hand to help him.

What I want to explain here is that Skye is no longer an agent at this time. After falling in love with Harry Osborn by accident during a mission, she took the initiative to break away from her identity as an agent. Of course, there was some help from Coulson, otherwise, given her personal qualifications and situation, it would be impossible for her to break away from her identity without violating discipline.

In short, thanks to Coulson's almost paternal tolerance, Skye has the right to stand in the sun. And because of this, she has a brand new identity, that is Mrs. Osborne.

As the beneficiary of the Stark government when it took office, the Osborne Group achieved unprecedented development at that time, and was almost promoted to the level of the world's top consortium. But also because of its birth, it is neither a traditional consortium force nor a supporter of the Stark government. This allows him to basically maintain his own development and size no matter in the past or now.

In the final analysis, the United States is still in the hands of capitalists. As capitalists, they have absolutely no reason to be hostile to the Osborne family, who are also capitalists. Therefore, Osborn is still alive and stronger than when the Stark government was in place.

After all, it is impossible for someone to stand up and restrict the development of capital at this time. And with the nature of the savage development of capital itself, as long as it still has the foundation for development, then he can swallow everything in front of him in the posture of a monster.

Take Osborne as an example, as the most cutting-edge and largest multinational company in biotechnology. More than 90% of the hospitals in the entire United States cannot avoid the intersection with Osborne. Under this premise, Skye, the hostess of Osborne, wanted to obtain some less important information from these intersections and willingness to cooperate, and it was simply a piece of cake.

This is a trivial matter. For Skye, maybe a phone call will get someone willing to support her, so that she doesn't even need to be urged, and someone will naturally put everything she wants in front of her. Logically speaking, Coulson is more or less a high-level figure in the US government today. If he wanted to, he should be able to do similar things easily.

However, the reality is that he has to turn to Skye to get the information he wants.

The return of the capitalist led to the complete collapse of the previous administrative system, and when his orders could not be spread to his office at all, even if they were spread out, they would not take you seriously at all, and only perfunctory and condescending to your orders. When you shirk, no matter how high your status is, it won't help.

Obviously, they made a very wrong choice at that time. And the most direct result of this choice is that each of them is pushed to the edge of power.

Perhaps in the past, they could pat their chests and say that they didn't value power that much, and it could be said that they regarded power as dung. But today, they have to admit how cherished and precious power is.

People only know how to cherish after losing. And by this time it is often too late. Coulson is like this, but he didn't feel sorry for himself because of it, but tried every means to do his best.

Using Osborn's network was the only way he could think of. As for his approach, Skye can guess how much. In addition, it is impossible for her to not know some of the secrets in her position, so at this time, she also said it very simply.

"It's useless to do this. If you really want to solve the problem, you must find the root cause of the virus. Only in this way can I use Osborne's power to help you!"
