Chapter 603 Chapter 605: White House Invitation, Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket!!!
But this is just the beginning, the real revelation is coming!
Then a bunch of copper smelting videotapes were found in the reporter's home!
This stuff is simply a direct social death for the reporter! According to US law, any possession, purchase, and transmission of videos about children is illegal! But the police still did not give up, and soon the police applied to the court to search the reporter's computer!
Soon, all kinds of unsightly browsing records were found. Those websites are also about copper smelting, all of which are overseas websites. What's more explosive is that a cousin of this reporter, who is also a zero-dollar purchase suspect, was arrested by the police some time ago. In the chat record with his cousin's girlfriend, this reporter cursed the police and conspired with his cousin's girlfriend to mess with the police. Not only that, this guy also let his cousin's girlfriend incite other black people to make noise together, intending to launch a public opinion offensive! (I forgot to say in the previous chapter that the reporter is black, and he was the first to say that the police were racially discriminatory in the newspaper)
Of course, this guy's motive is not only because of his cousin, but also because of his cousin's beautiful girlfriend. While discussing how to launch a public opinion offensive, this guy flirted with his cousin's girlfriend and dated her...
It's amazing.
Once these news broke out, public opinion exploded instantly!
This is a complete scandal!
Now even those who have always believed that the reporter is innocent exploded. It seems that they have been used by this reporter from beginning to end! No one wants to be played as a fool! What's more, the reporter's motive... is really disgusting.
Soon the woman who had an affair with the reporter was also arrested. After all, conspiring to frame and slander the police is also a crime. The woman was arrested for less than ten minutes and she turned against him. Not only that, she also cried and said that she was forced. She revealed that the reporter had sexually assaulted her and the reporter's cousin's daughter for a long time. Not only that, the reporter also threatened her that if she didn't have sex with him, he would continue to harass the child...
In short, she became a victim all of a sudden. The police also decided to deal with it leniently.
This kind of rotten thing was like a big pot of shit poured on the heads of those media who clamored about the police's racial discrimination. What the hell is this propaganda war? There is a problem on my side from the root. No matter how important the following words are, they are useless!
At the same time, at Kai's instruction, the lawyers representing the victim police increased the stakes again. Their final claim amount reached an unprecedented 1.6 billion US dollars!
Of course, this claim is too exaggerated. Even if they are right, it is useless. But no one thought that they would really get so much compensation. This is just a means.
It was also taking this opportunity that the media supporting the police began to exert their strength and began to promote the bravery and fearlessness of the Los Angeles police, which turned the entire public opinion environment upside down.
In this case, the media that slandered the police had no reason to continue.
The fundamental reason why they slandered the police was for profit. Now that things are a mess, they can't wash it off, and they have already received the attention they deserve. If they continue like this, not only will they not be able to continue to make profits, but their own authority will be greatly reduced, which is not worth the loss.
So they proposed an out-of-court settlement.
Unfortunately, Kai did not agree.
He was very strong in demanding to get to the bottom of it!
This made some media very dissatisfied. They felt that they were misled and they were also victims. Kai wanted to sue them, which was a bit too much.
Unfortunately, Kai didn't care.
Ever since Kai got the true face of these media from Tony, Kai has been disgusted with these guys!
Public opinion is a toy of capital.
Then why can't Kai play?
He is not a capitalist?
Of course, Kai also knows that he is indeed a capitalist, but he still can't get a number. So he knows very well that he can't really do anything to those people, at least the real controllers of those media will not suffer any losses.
In short, the game is still going on, but Kai is no longer paying attention.
...
"White House dinner?" Kai received a call from Margaret Asher after a long time. Margaret Asher, this name may not be familiar to many people, but her other identity is very famous-the First Lady of the United States!
Kai and the first lady have a very good relationship. Margaret is a woman with her own ideas. She actually doesn't enjoy being the first lady. She used to have her own job and her own pursuits, but since she became the first lady, these are gone. She must be the first lady in the eyes of Americans. This made Margaret depressed for a time.
The last mission of Kai's military career was to rescue the president's family, who was not yet the president, on a cruise ship. So there was some connection with the president's family. So when Kai was still working in Chicago, when the president and the first lady came to Chicago for an event, Margaret told Kai about her troubles and hoped to get some advice.
Kai also gave advice generously.
That is divorce!
Margaret was very tempted by this proposal because she could no longer feel happy in this marriage, only depressed and depressed. Fortunately, the president's means were high enough to prevent the first divorce scandal in American history from happening during the presidency.
But it was also because Kai inexplicably became the first lady's male bestie.
"Why invite me to such an event?"
The American state banquet system began in 1874 and is the most solemn courtesy for the president to foreign guests. According to tradition, the first state dinner after a new president takes office usually entertains the leaders of neighboring Canada or Mexico. However, the past two presidents have not followed this tradition. After President Benjamin Asher came to power, he did not act according to tradition. He did not hold a state banquet in his first year in office, but held it this year. Moreover, his first state banquet was not hosted by the president of Canada or Mexico, but by the president of Canada. Visiting Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
"I don't understand Indian."
Kai told a cold joke, but unfortunately the first lady opposite had limited skills and didn't understand it at all.
"The state banquet is not a purely diplomatic affair, but a traditional political affair, so some influential people are usually invited to attend."
The White House State Dinner is one of the most desirable meals in the world, and also one of the least accessible in the world. Perhaps what is on the banquet table is not some extraordinary delicacies, but what happens outside the table determines the direction of the world.
Anyway, the people who really went there were not there for the meal.
"So?"
Margarita sighed, feeling that Kai didn't quite understand his identity. "Don't you know that you are a very influential person?"
Margarita was right, Kai's lack of attention to the media caused him to have no idea how popular he really was.
Let’s put it this way, Kai is the only official superhero!
One can imagine what his existence means to the US government. Therefore, under the control of the government, his popularity is not low at all, even though he himself is very low-key.
"I'm not interested in attending such boring banquets." Kai really doesn't like banquets. If he could eat meat and drink wine with the knights like when he was in the knight kingdom of Camelot, he would like it very much, but palace banquets have always been It is what he hates the most, and as far as he knows, the rules of the American state banquet are much more troublesome than the palace banquet of Camelot!
So Kai was not interested when he heard it.
Margaret then explained to Kay that this was related to an arms sale!
Kai was curious. Arms sales were just arms sales. It was none of his business. Even the Wayne Group under his control was not involved in the arms trade.
Margaret had to explain that the visiting Indian President was a die-hard Iron Man fan...
Kai was speechless at this explanation. Why do you want to worship Iron Man if you, a San, can't worship God properly? Isn’t this not doing our job properly?
At the same time, Kai also guessed the underlying meaning of Margaret's words.
Tony Stark is no longer a balance contractor for the US military... Is it necessary for him to get close to Indian Asantao?
Others are playing with new energy now! He ate too much and went to the platform for the benefit of other companies. What was he free for?
He doesn't want to go anyway, and it's really hard for others to force him to go.
So only alternatives can be enabled.
That's Kai.
Although Kai is not Iron Man, he is Iron Patriot!
Well, this name was given by the media, and Kai didn't like this rustic nickname at all. Who knows how this thing ended up on Kai's head. This stuff always made Kai feel like he was a traitor, so he was very resistant to it.
All in all, although Iron Patriot is not as orthodox as Iron Man, it is still a superhero in the Iron series, so it has a large audience.
At least the President of India liked it.
"Still not interested!"
Actually going to sell arms, damn!
Kai slandered in his mind.
Kay's refusal again forced Margaret to use the last resort, although Margaret herself was very reluctant to do so.
"After the state banquet, Benjamin will award medals to the Los Angeles police officers! Including those police officers who died."
Margaret believed that honoring those heroes was a matter of course, rather than becoming a transaction as it was now.
But Kai does take this trick.
He doesn't care much about the honor given by the US government. After all, he has a Chinese heart, but it is different for the police officers who sacrificed their lives... Their achievements and sacrifices must be remembered. If Kai can't help them seek justice, then at least, he can't. They should be given the credit they deserve.
Some people say, what’s the use of honor when everyone is dead?
Kai doesn't think so. Maybe what these people say makes sense, but for Kai, a soldier at heart, honor is really more important than life in many cases.
"Okay, your asshole husband wins. When?" Kai gave in.
Of course he doesn't care, but he can't let the honor of those police officers who died be damaged. Although the possibility is not high, what if?
Arms sales between countries are not trivial; they must be at least tens of billions to be realistic.
That's enough money for those stakeholders to do anything.
So, just like that, Kay's trip to Washington was confirmed.
…
"Are you going to Washington to attend the White House dinner?!!!" Kai was going to be away for a while, so he naturally needed to explain to his subordinates in the major crime unit.
As a result, the reaction of these people must be much greater than imagined.
"Why are you so excited?" Kai glared at Chloe who shouted the loudest with disgust.
"That's a White House dinner!" Chloe didn't care at all about Kai's displeasure, but kept getting excited.
For ordinary people, let alone attending the White House dinner, even if the people around them attend it once, they are proud enough. And Kai was invited to the White House dinner, which obviously made them all feel honored.
"Then when are you going?" Chloe knew that this matter had little to do with her, but she still wanted to know.
"We'll leave tomorrow. This time we're going to Washington, so we can meet up with our comrades there." Duke, Kai's former subordinate in the special response unit, is in Washington. Although they keep in touch from time to time, I haven't seen him for a long time. Duke didn't come when Rouqiu and his friends got married last time. He called and said he was busy and couldn't get away.
They are all comrades who share life and death. I really miss them after not seeing them for a while.
"Why do you ask so clearly? Do you want to go with me?" Kai said unhappily.
"Can I?" Chloe's eyes lit up.
"No!" Are you kidding? Even if I bring a female companion, I can't bring you. I have several girlfriends over there!
"Oh... stingy!" Chloe walked away with a bang.
Kai was so embarrassed that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was already in his thirties, but he was getting younger and younger. It was all because of Dan's love.
Speaking of this, Dan didn't know if it was stimulated by the war, but he actually got it and started pursuing Chloe again. And it's going well.
Sometimes war is not all bad, isn't it? At least it made Dan, a stubborn person, finally understand the importance of love and family affection.
Kai went home and asked Alfu to pack up, and then boarded Tony's private plane. It was just a trip to Washington, so there was no need to mobilize so many troops... Why Tony's private plane? Because Kai didn't have one.
Private planes sound simple, but in fact they are very troublesome. Although he doesn't need to handle all kinds of procedures in person, it will reveal his identity, and then there will be another storm. Think about it, a policeman owns a private plane... Kai thought it was troublesome, so he didn't buy it.
Who is he and Tony?
Isn't Tony's his?
Anyway, Tony has so many private planes, so it's okay to give him one to use, so that it won't be idle and he won't pay for maintenance in vain.
...
Duke's life has not been easy recently.
Like many retired soldiers, Duke is a little out of touch with society. He has served for ten years and has become accustomed to everything in the army. His connections and social life are all in the army, and society makes him feel unfamiliar.
For example, his neighborhood.
When he left there to serve in the army, it was still pretty good, but ten years later, his neighborhood had become a relief area. Because of the economic problems in recent years, the employment situation in Washington has become very difficult, and many people have lost their jobs. Unfortunately, his community was also like this, and it became a relief area.
Many security problems are due to poverty.
The same is true near his home.
He lives in his mother's house. His mother died of a heart attack a few days after he came back from the army. This made Duke a little difficult to accept. More importantly, he had to spend more time taking care of his daughter. When his mother was alive, his daughter was taken care of by his mother. Now he has to be distracted by the child.
