White House.

Benjamin looked at the cabinet staff quarreling and evading each other, his face was extremely calm, he even made himself a cup of coffee, and then turned to look out the window.

Ah...life...is really fucked!

Want to resign.

What will you do after you retire? Publish a book? Hmm, good idea.

Benjamin Sher is already very Buddhist. His tenure has been too troubled and there is nothing to excite him now. There are fairy tales and aliens. What else will appear? Isn't it natural?

Soon Nick Fury walked in, and everyone looked at him. Except the president.

The president was still looking out the window.

Others also took note of the president's performance.

"Mr. President," the staff member called softly.

"Oh? Are you done arguing?" Benjamin turned around and looked at everyone. As for Nick Fury, he couldn't even take another look. The president was very dissatisfied with SHIELD, very dissatisfied! Once again, SHIELD

The bureau did nothing. No warning, no report, no explanation.

Benjamin doesn't even know what position SHIELD is in the American system.

Just tell me, what is the purpose of SHIELD?

Nick Fury looks ugly. The reason why he appears here is naturally not to make the president look bad on him. His original plan is to appear in the White House as a savior and make the president submissive.

Yes, that's what Nick really thinks. At this moment, SHIELD should use its own strength.

But unfortunately, the president seems to be even more dissatisfied with S.H.I.E.L.D.

Everyone is really confused about the president's statement.

"You have been arguing for a long time. What are you arguing about?"

"We are...discussing whether to launch a diplomatic assault or declare war." The female defense minister said a little awkwardly.

The current White House cabinet is divided into two factions. One faction prefers diplomatic methods, and this faction is headed by the Secretary of State. By the way, the Secretary of State is a left-wing political staffer. He has always been interested in topics such as environmental protection, and is actively promoting it in the United States.

The main promoter of issues such as new energy, energy conservation and emission reduction, and the Secretary of State is in charge of diplomacy, so he can understand the anger of the Atlanteans, and believes that they can negotiate with Atlantis and other diplomatic means.

to achieve the purpose.

Atlantis is angry at them for polluting the ocean, so they can give in.

This itself is a topic of concern to many people.

However, a group of people headed by the Minister of Defense believed that the war had already begun, and they were just talking about it! Just start the war!

If the navy is gone, will they admit defeat?

They also have nuclear warheads!

It’s impossible to admit defeat!

"Oh, did you get the result of your quarrel?" President Benjamin suddenly felt a sense of detachment at this time.

A bunch of idiots, how can you do good politics with a bunch of insects like you!

Then, without waiting for them to speak, he said: "You said you want diplomacy, okay, tell me first, how to do it? Which of you will go diving in the deep sea?"

Just kidding, if the Atlanteans were in the shallow sea, they wouldn't have been discovered just now.

Deep sea... Haha, the diving depth of mankind's most advanced submarines is only that deep.

in addition……

"Also, do any of you know where Atlantis is?"

A group of people looked at each other.

Then President Benjamin looked at the female Minister of Defense: "You too, in a war, you have to know where the enemy is, right? Or do you plan to use fishing nets to catch them?"

The group of people looked at each other again.

The female Minister of Defense immediately said: "We can wait for them to come to land and then use..."

Benjamin looked at her helplessly.

That look was like looking at an idiot.

"Do others need to come to land? Others only need to prevent us from even a single ship entering the sea, and our economy will completely collapse!"

The United States has been screwed by their capitalists. Deindustrialization looks great, but in fact it is a self-destruction. Except for a few heavy industries, all other industries in the United States have been relocated. Do you know why the military-industrial complex is so awesome?

Do you think it’s just because the military-industrial complex has money?

Of course this is one aspect, but the real reason is that military-industrial enterprises are not allowed to relocate abroad! This means that military-industrial enterprises represent a large number of jobs! All industries in the United States are degrading, and the once-proud automobiles

Industrial formation has declined, various light industries have disappeared, and many low-end industrial products also need to be imported. Only the military industry is booming. Politicians may be able to ignore the monetary lobbying of those military industry companies, but they cannot refuse votes.

Here, whoever can bring more jobs and reduce unemployment will get votes.

Without these, there are no votes.

In this case, who would not give dignity to the military-industrial complex?

After all, others have grasped the key points. This is also the reason why the military-industrial complex has an increasing influence on American politics after World War II.

Deindustrialization has led to the need to import light industry and low-end industrial products in the United States!

Without these cheap goods, the cost of living for Americans will increase rapidly. Coupled with problems in shipping, this will inevitably lead to large-scale business closures or layoffs, and an increase in unemployment.

The cost of living is rising and the unemployment rate is rising.

Naturally leads to various social problems!

The key is that the U.S. political system still has no good solution, because the government cannot interfere with the market!

This is fatal.

If the economy is ruined, social unrest will follow.

And then... nothing more.

There is no perfect society in this world, and the U.S. government is also full of all kinds of contradictions, racial contradictions, and contradictions between rich and poor. When the economy is good, these can naturally cover up the past, but once there is an economic problem, no contradiction will turn into a big problem.

Contradictions, not to mention that the United States can never be said to have no contradictions. On the contrary, it has great contradictions!

Seeing that his staff were silent, Benjamin shook his head.

Do these people really not understand this?

No!

They understand very well!

But they didn't know what to do at all, so they were arguing. They couldn't let themselves appear helpless.

It's a bad idea, but it's an idea.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Okay, let's listen to what our rare guest has to say. Nick Fury."

Benjamin was too lazy to say anything, but said directly to Nick Fury: "Let's see what our SHIELD is hiding from us."

Nick Fury's heart skipped a beat, and he realized that he had made a very stupid mistake.

He still handled the matter according to SHIELD's way of doing things.

What is the form and style of SHIELD?

Mysticism of course!

In other words, he did not notify the White House or Congress at all.

It was nothing before, now...

"us……"

"I'm not going to listen to sophistry and tell me the things I care about!" Benjamin said impatiently.

Nick opened his mouth, and finally told everyone present what he knew.

You can't hide this thing either.

"Ha!" The president laughed when he heard this: "I, the President of the United States, there was an invasion of Atlantis in my land, and I didn't even know about it! The news I got was that it was a tsunami.

!I just issued a statement of silence yesterday... Now you tell me that your SHIELD has known for a long time that the Atlanteans were going to invade, but you just didn't say anything! And then you just sat back and watched those attacks happen... Falk!

"

President, you're swearing.

Nick Fury immediately added: "The reason why we chose to deal with it secretly is to prevent the situation from expanding and causing unnecessary panic.

"See, this is our SHIELD!" The president looked at the two whips and the officials who had lobbied the president not to severely punish SHIELD.

But he didn't say anything, and instead looked at Nick Fury.

"So, I should thank SHIELD for doing me such a big favor?"

Nick shut up.
