Chapter 1947 Assassination (Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket!!! Please Subscribe!!! Please Recommend!!!)
Political struggle...this stuff is not unusual anywhere. After all, this thing is unavoidable. No country or dynasty can avoid this. Because as long as you are a human being, you will inevitably have your own ideas. Everyone has your own ideas at the same time, which creates disputes. Once this kind of thing comes into contact with power, it will directly evolve into a political struggle.
But basically any normal country will automatically and consciously limit the political struggle within a certain range, and strive to fight without defeat, because once the parties to the political struggle put struggle before politics, it will be over. .
This country is definitely not getting better. Before, Benjamin always felt that he could take the initiative, suppress all parties, and allow all parties to fight without defeat. In other words, you can fight, but it cannot affect the operation of the government and the normalization of the country.
The truly reassuring struggles are those where the upper echelons are having a great time fighting, but the people below have no idea what's going on. This means that the struggle will not spread to the social level. Everyone maintains a basic balance. Regardless of winning or losing, it is unlikely to affect the country.
But damn, if you blow up the hospital, it will be a lot of fun. Those people in New York don't like Washington. New York has always had a special status in the United States. In many cases, New York is not necessarily as good as Washington. After all, your political struggle is none of my business. It’s not a partisan struggle. They don’t have a team!
In fact, the political struggle in the United States before was actually a situation that could not be resolved through fighting, and everyone maintained basic political politeness. For example, there are many unspoken rules. The current person cannot go to trouble the ex. As long as the person steps down, everything will be almost wiped out. Another example is the president's family. It doesn't matter how much they go overboard, as long as they can live a decent life, they won't make excuses. But now the political struggle in the United States is on the surface. It is very common for the two parties to throw dirty water on each other, but most of the time, it is about the other party's policies, rather than rushing to bring down others. , so the elections between the two parties are not considered a political struggle, but now, it is different, it is a real political struggle! A certain treasure became the first former president of the United States to be convicted of a crime. This is the first time in the United States in two hundred years! As for a certain person, it's even more lively. The president's son has appeared on legal programs several times, and there are all kinds of dirty things! This is the openness of political struggle. After all, most of the time, political struggle actually has nothing to do with the people. They are fighting for power and profit, and the people have no rights. Of course, it is not the people's turn to care.
But now the struggle in the United States is so fierce that even wild dogs on the roadside can chat with each other.
This is basically the state of national subjugation. In the past, everyone would only fight because of a certain policy of the other party, but now they go directly to themselves.
Intensity.
Especially after that gunshot and a certain treasure lost, the struggle will only become more intense!
And the current situation is almost the same. The hospital is going to be blown up. The nature of this is much more serious than that shot by a certain treasure.
That day, cabinet members and leaders from both parties appeared at the White House.
This time, Benjamin didn’t show any mercy. He slapped the table and yelled, “What do you want to do?! What do you want to do!?!”
A group of people were taken aback by the president's anger. Of course, they themselves were not too afraid. After all, the system was there. No matter how prestigious the president was, he could not really treat the big bosses of the two parties as his subordinates.
But the president's next words really shocked everyone.
"I don't care which of your men is planning to blow up the hospital directly. You must stop!!! Do you hear me!"
Bomb the hospital?
What the hell?
The people here are basically chess players, and dirty things are not their turn. They are the bosses who hide behind the scenes. So I don't know at this moment that the struggle below is getting more and more intense, and it is about to develop into a battle with open flames.
"Your Excellency, what does this mean?" a big boss asked.
"What do you mean?" Benjamin snorted coldly and continued: "The mayor of New York and Kai just called directly to protest. They have had enough of your fighting...A group of them are planning to blow up Nick. When Fury was in the hospital, he was caught by the New York authorities. What do you think they meant by calling him at this time?"
This is what it means to not give the truth. It’s okay to let your people mess around there, and let the New Yorkers take the blame. This time, it’s okay. They directly plan to blow up the hospital. The New York side will take the blame no matter what. I can’t memorize it.
Unlike other places, politicians in other places may want to enter Washington, but New York is extraordinary. It is the first city in the United States, and politicians here are not so eager to enter Washington!
After all, this thing is all about profit in the end.
Being an official for thousands of miles is just for food and drink.
In New York, politicians have plenty of ways to eat and drink without having to go to Washington. So many times, they don't need to pay too much attention to Washington.
Damn it, I was elected by the people of New York, so of course I have to be responsible for the people of New York. Why don't you assholes vote for me!
"No way..." A few people still didn't believe it. Are the people below crazy?
Benjamin was no longer angry now, he shrugged: "Then I don't know, maybe Kai is messing around? You guys can make trouble until the end. You go wipe your own butts, don't think about letting me take the blame, Anyway, Kai has already said harsh words. If something really happens, he will clear the place directly and make it public. There is absolutely no way he can cover it up for you. "
Kai's meaning is very clear. Get Nick Fury out of here quickly. If you don't, I will overturn the table.
But Benjamin couldn't say it directly, otherwise his confrontational attitude would be too strong.
He just changed the order slightly, and the words sounded much better.
When you get into trouble, Kai will not choose to cover it up for you, but will directly expose it and let everyone find the person responsible.
This sounds much better.
After all, you are the first to not care about the interests of others, so you can't ask others to cover up for you... Kai is not your father.
When this group of people heard it, they immediately had a headache.
Kai and the government do have a tacit understanding. Everyone keeps to themselves and maintains a balance. In a sense, Washington has tacitly agreed that New York is Kai's sphere of influence. Although it's a bit unreasonable to say this, it is actually true.
Everyone should give each other a little face, so that the balance can be maintained.
But now, your fight has made New York a mess. It is natural for Kai to complain. As for covering for you... what are you thinking!
It's like if something happens to Kai, none of these people will stand up to cover for Kai. In the final analysis, they just don't interfere with each other, and they are not in the same group.
"Take Nick Fury away, take him to a place where no one else will notice, and then you can start fighting. I'm not interested, and I don't want to care, but... don't fucking affect my administration! Your behavior has crossed the line. I have warned you about the assassination in Washington before. But you don't seem to take my words seriously. Now it's getting more and more excessive. You plan to carry out terrorism in New York!!! You've crossed the line! Once things really get out of control, I can only hand over the terrorists in Congress to calm the anger of the people... Do you understand? There must be a limit to everything! Do you understand?!!"
Benjamin said it very bluntly, so bluntly that there was no degree of sway.
When a president says this, it means that he has no intention of making any more conditions and must be executed unconditionally.
In the current system of the United States, the power of the president is indeed greatly limited.
But he is still the president of the United States and the leader of the United States. Once he says this, there are still people who secretly obey him... Don't think that the president really has no ability to fight back. The president just has little power, not a real mascot!
If he really makes up his mind, whoever he targets will be uncomfortable. No matter what the president is, he is still the president. Unless you can impeach him next time!
Although the president of the United States can be impeached, the conditions are very harsh.
The impeachment of the president of the United States is based on Article 2, Section 4 of the United States Constitution, which stipulates that the president, vice president and all civil officers of the United States who are impeached and found guilty of treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors shall be removed from office. If enough members of Congress vote to agree that the president is guilty of "treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors", Congress will be able to remove the president from office. The process and conditions of impeaching the president of the United States reflect the checks and balances and supervision mechanism in its political system. Specifically, the impeachment of the president first requires the House of Representatives to determine that the president's behavior is suspected of "treason, bribery or other serious crimes" in accordance with the US Constitution, thereby officially launching an impeachment investigation. Subsequently, the House Judiciary Committee formulates specific impeachment clauses and votes. If more than half of the senators are in favor of impeachment, the impeachment motion will be transferred to the Senate. The impeachment trial held by the Senate is supervised by the Chief Justice of the Federal Supreme Court. If more than two-thirds of the senators believe that the president is guilty, the president will be impeached and the vice president will take over as president. The impeached person will not be allowed to hold any public office for life. If a criminal offense is committed, the ordinary court will try him after he resumes his ordinary civilian status. If he is found "not guilty", the president can continue to complete his term.
Benjamin's approval rating is very high, and he has many supporters in both parties. The impeachment case cannot even pass the House of Representatives, let alone the Senate. So this is purely a luxury.
No one wants to really offend the president.
And this time the people below really went too far.
"I understand, Mr. President."
...
After the president went crazy, the investigation team arrived in New York that day.
Then the handover was completed with the police.
However, just as the work was done here, something went wrong with the investigation team.
There was a big debate within the investigation team on how to send Nick Fury back.
If you want speed, of course you should take a plane.
If you want safety, it is better to go by land.
In fact, there is really nothing to argue about this... After all, neither is too far away.
Four hours of driving is definitely enough.
In fact, the plane is almost the same. It is not that the speed of the plane is the same as that of the car, but the preparation time is longer. After all, such an important prisoner, you can't take a civil airliner, it must be a government plane, or a military plane.
However, New York has no objection to this. After the handover was completed, the special department immediately withdrew.
Their credit for catching Nick Fury is already great enough, and of course they will not get involved in the following things.
Can anyone swallow their credit?
As for the following things, they are too lazy to care!
Finally, the investigation team decided... to advance by land and air.
The investigation team was divided into two groups, and both sides escorted Nick Fury!
As for which Nick Fury is the real one, only a very few people know. Because from the beginning to the end. Nick Fury was locked in a fully enclosed cage, and no one knew whether there were people in the two cages.
Even whether there were only two escort teams was unknown.
…
"I didn't expect you to escort me." Nick Fury was tied up in restraints, like a live pig waiting to be slaughtered.
And standing around Nick Fury was a group of SHIELD agents.
The leader was an Asian woman-Melinda May. This is a veteran agent. During May's mission in Bahrain, she single-handedly solved a superhuman threat and saved a team of SHIELD agents, but a little girl was killed in the crossfire. Injured by this experience, May chose to withdraw from the field. Phil Coulson once asked her to come out, and her trauma has gradually healed. Unexpectedly, not long after, Phil was also arrested for helping Nick Fury. She also entered the SHIELD investigation list.
There is no way, this Asian agent has a close relationship with Nick Fury and Phil Coulson.
However, after a long investigation, she returned to SHIELD.
"I didn't expect to see you again... and you have become like this."
This is a pun. After all, Nick Fury has indeed changed his appearance. From black to white.
May is a very serious person, so she looks a little mean, but people who are familiar with her know that this woman is cold on the outside and warm on the inside. She and Nick Fury have a good relationship. You know, in the United States, the situation of Asians is not even as good as that of black people. May was able to enter SHIELD and become a senior agent, which is also due to Nick Fury.
Of course, he promoted many minorities.
"I didn't betray." Nick Fury looked at his former colleagues and subordinates. This is the only thing he can say.
"I always believe it." May said.
In fact, it's not just her. Many people who are familiar with Nick Fury don't believe that Nick Fury is Hydra, let alone that he will surrender to aliens.
Including the current director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Maria Hill.
Unfortunately, it was useless for them not to believe. Nick Fury was indeed going further and further away.
"But you know the rules, Nick." May said calmly: "The mission is the mission, we are agents, we obey orders. This is what you taught me before."
"Yeah... So what does Hill plan to do with me?"
Nick Fury smiled weakly, he did tell his agents this before.
"Take you back to Washington, where your fate ends." At least that was the order May received.
"No... I can't go back to Washington." Nick Fury shook his head very calmly: "They should have come."
"Who?"
"People who come to kill me!"
At this time, there was a sudden chaos outside!
The assassin is coming!
