Chapter 1,295: Successor (Please Vote for Me! Please Vote for Me! Please Vote for Me! Please Subscribe! Please Recommend!)

"Let's take action!" Steve got the notification from the flagship and said to the others.

Although there are only two chapters in this wrangling, in fact, the two parties reached an agreement very quickly. S.H.I.E.L.D. has no choice. They don’t want to deal with the S.H.I.E.L.D., but the problem is that the situation is stronger than the people, and the problem here in the Arctic is too serious now, so they have to be cautious. One bad move can really cause a world-class disaster. , it might even be the end of the world. The climate issue is really not something to be talked about casually. One bad move 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 can 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.

"The Russians and Chinese have discovered our actions, and have reached a consensus above. This time we will be the main attack, with China and Russia assisting. There is now a submarine combat force on the seabed to prevent the people inside from escaping from the seabed..."

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?"

Americans’ unique arrogance and double standards.

As a furry bear, Phantom Girl is naturally impossible to spoil.

"It sounds like you have informed me!"

Hawkeye stopped talking.

Indeed, everyone's eldest brother does not talk about the second brother.

Steve stopped the two of them 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 lived through 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, and even he was written up in great detail, as if World War II could not have been won without him.

Steve knew very well that that was not the case at all. He was just a soldier. No matter how powerful he was, he had no ability and could not affect the whole. To say that he boosted morale, he did his job, but he could change the situation of the war. At most, he could 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 counteroffensive pressure on the Eastern Front was too great, it would be difficult for the Allies to say anything about the Western European battlefield.

But until the end of the war, the West has turned a blind eye to the Soviet Union's contributions.

This was hard for Steve to understand.

"Then let's ask you what the United States has done, right?" Phantom Woman said disdainfully.

"Shut up!" Hawkeye retorted.

But even Hawkeye is embarrassed to say anything like 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?"

"There are Chinese people too!" Eagle Eye said unconvinced.

"I can't pretend that I don't know this." A slightly teasing voice came from everyone's earphones: "We Chinese are too lazy to care about your nonsense. Also, don't take advantage of S.H.I.E.L.D. We are judged by our style. Our reputation is well-known, unlike your SHIELD, which even dares to use nuclear bombs. "

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 will be like Batman Knight King or Iron Man." People, you are not worthy of losing our reputation."

Steve grinned. Although he thought he was not a person who cared about reputation, he still felt a little embarrassed after hearing these words.

But this is indeed true.

When it comes to Steve's ability, he can't say he doesn't have it. But just like that, things like destroying the world and destroying the world 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 them.

Steve is also a borderline ob. 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 as 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, Gen. Edward Clegg, is chairing the meeting, which is also attended by Lynn Jobs.

Lynn Jobs is the director of the Secret Service.

She was lucky. She took leave due to some personal matters and was not at the headquarters, so she was lucky not to be killed.

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 the investigation and participation in the meeting. 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 okay? Will the bunker be breached? Being held hostage?

But everyone thinks 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 thing is that there is a nuclear bomb suitcase inside the bunker! This is the most important thing. When 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 president's 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 job 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.

Lin Jobs lowered her head. She could understand Speaker Exon's concerns.

Is there nothing wrong with the president now?

Then Speaker Exxon is embarrassed. He actually overthrew President Benjamin. What will he do after President Benjamin returns?

And according to all speculations, 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 says, all the nuclear bombs in the United States can be launched with the push of a button. After all, many nuclear warheads require people to control them. 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. Waging a nuclear war is a very, very serious matter, and it cannot be pinned on a button from the president. It is just an instruction, and instructions 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 program!

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 minister of defense, the minister of justice, the minister of the interior and other cabinet ministers are all locked in the bunker. After all, the standards of the White House party were quite high, and because of the troubles at the North Pole, 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... there's no way we're overturning the Constitution. And now, besides the Speaker, the closest successor is the Secretary of Health and Human Services... That's not even close."

Lin Jobs said very embarrassedly.

Now that the big guys are trapped, the only one qualified 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... then the controversy will be so great that even the Secretary of Health and Human Services himself may not be able to accept it.

"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 responsibilities 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 US military has influence, force, and even financial resources. The interest groups are also huge. If they are allowed to contact the government... the consequences are simply unimaginable.

This is especially true for those politicians.

"Okay... as soon as possible!"

...

On an airplane.

A white-haired old man is having a video conference with a group of people.

"Exxon, this is our Republican Party's chance!"

These are some Democratic bigwigs.

"Yes, Benjamin has changed the presidential term bill. If we don't do something, then we Republicans will have no chance for many years to come!"

Benjamin is indeed a very popular president, although he has suffered many disasters. But voters still trust him. After all, although he has suffered many disasters during his term, there has not been any major chaos. No one thinks that the earth will enjoy peace in the future, so instead of letting a new person take over, it is better for Benjamin to stay in office. At least he has done a good job, right?

No one wants to bet on an uncertain new president in an uncertain future.

As Benjamin's term progresses, members of the Democratic Party have become the majority in both houses. If this continues, the future of the AFP will be in jeopardy!

"Cheney... Benjamin is still alive now! Is it really okay for us to discuss this?"

Speaker Exxon said bitterly.

Speaker Exxon is not an outstanding politician. He was just pushed up by Benjamin to balance the two parties. This is clear from the fact that he came from the AFP.

After all, the Speaker of the House of Representatives is also elected by the congressmen, so the Speaker of the House of Representatives comes from the majority party most of the time, but the majority party in both houses now is the Democratic Party.

To put it bluntly, Exxon's rise to power is entirely based on Benjamin's concession to the AFP in order to balance the two parties.

Although it is a concession, Benjamin cannot let a strong person check and balance himself, so Exxon is a kind of moderate good guy, with no courage and no strong political resources. Just a mascot.

The bigwigs of the AFP on the opposite side also looked bitter.

They naturally knew what Exxon was like.

They can even understand why Exxon is unwilling to take over. It is said that Exxon is a good guy with no courage, and his political resources cannot be compared with those big guys. Even if he serves as president, he is just a puppet.

And after a short term, he will definitely leave immediately. Whether they, the Donkey Party or the Elephant Party, it is impossible for him to continue to stay in the presidency. After all, when Qin loses its deer, the world chases it. Exxon himself has no ability, why should he be allowed to sit, everyone is waiting for him to take office!

This president has no power, and he will leave immediately.

Why go up?

"No hesitation! Exxon!" It is understandable, but the Donkey Party will never let such a good opportunity go!

What a good opportunity is this?

Once the matter is over, no matter what Benjamin does, they can promote it. No matter what Exxon does, he can get some credit. A title of being appointed in a time of crisis is inevitable, right?

Although Exxon has no use for this credit, it can benefit other candidates of the Donkey Party!

Then can't the president compete?

Benjamin has put too much pressure on the Donkey Party. They couldn’t win the competition before, but now they have a chance, they must fight for it!
