Chapter 448 The Fall of the White House (4)
The million-dollar deal was completed in one minute.
The middle-aged man had to hold his nose and agreed with Diamandi's suggestion, but when he got this first-hand news material, he became excited again.
Seriously speaking, one million dollars is indeed a bit expensive, but this first-hand news material can bring him a value far beyond this figure.
"Since the British bombarded the White House in 1812, the White House has never been attacked in more than two hundred years. But today, at 11:23 a.m. in Washington, D.C., let us remember this moment. The White House was attacked. An unexplained attack, and for the first time, unknown force occupied the center of American power..."
"My God, if I said that the White House flew into the sky, many people might think I was joking, but today Jamie, I didn't make any jokes. Please look at the camera. The White House, which is the most heavily protected in the world, has actually fallen. And it fell in a way that we cannot recognize and imagine. Can you tell me that tomorrow will be the end of the world? Our president is really trapped in the sky now..."
Less than half an hour after the 9/11 attacks, the reported news spread all over the world’s major media, television and websites.
Compared with the 911 incident more than ten years ago, this time is not only more unimaginable and shocking than the terrorist attacks, but the development of the Internet has made the acquisition of information hundreds of times faster.
Originally, major news media from all over the world had permanent offices in Washington, D.C., and when such a major event occurred, they immediately spread the news back to China and reported it live.
On the Internet platform, the headlines of all news websites have been replaced by the picture of the "White House suspended in the air". There are more and more videos uploaded on YOUTUBE, and there are more and more rooms taking huge risks to live broadcast. The number of clicks and online people has climbed to an alarming rate. To the point of jaw-dropping.
This was only two hours after the incident.
Any attack on the White House can be considered as a challenge to the behemoth of the United States, and the attacker is bound to withstand a thunderous blow from the world's only superpower.
But this time, the Pentagon and the most elite military in the United States are helpless.
One is that the method of levitating the White House into the sky is very confusing. Human beings are always afraid of the unknown, let alone this kind of supernatural phenomenon that shocks countless people. It is absolutely impossible not to be afraid.
The second is that there is a poorly understood protection method around the White House, which prevents exploratory attacks and helicopters from entering, and corresponding attack and rescue methods cannot be carried out.
The last one is, of course, that the president and senior officials of the White House are inside. The use of missiles and large-scale attacks is not allowed, especially if the White House falls in free fall, several blocks in the core of Washington will be destroyed. once.
"No matter what, we have to do something. The president, vice president, secretary of state and others are all in there and they are in danger at any time."
In the joint conference room of the Pentagon, Army General Odierno waved his fist loudly and was extremely emotional.
"But we are in trouble now..."
Air Force Chief of Staff Schwartz frowned, "We haven't figured out what caused the White House to be suspended in the sky, and our air force can't get close to it."
This is a fact. At the long conference table, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dempsey, Secretary of Defense Carter, Navy Admiral Winnifield, Marine Corps General Amos and many other generals were worried.
Dempsey thought for a while and said: "First of all, we must evacuate most of the people in Washington, D.C., and Pentagon personnel as soon as possible. Secondly, all overseas bases and fleets must enter a state of first-level combat readiness, alert to incoming enemies, and await orders. ; and to control the domestic news media, we must stabilize public sentiment; the local vigilance must not be relaxed..."
"Your Majesty General, this is the image data returned by the drone."
At the reminder of others, everyone looked at the big screen in front of them.
The footage captured by the drone showed the scene in the White House. If they didn't know for sure that this was not a movie, I'm afraid no one present could believe the facts in front of them.
There seems to be no damage to the White House, at least not so far. The lawn and the ground outside the main building are full of guards. Data communication is relayed through drones. They can also conduct video conversations with the White House and learn that the president and a group of people are After everyone found no problem, they couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
"Everyone, this is the face of the suspect. We have arranged for comparison. We have also contacted China, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, the Philippines... and other countries to request population database comparison."
"We have contacted the relevant physics professors and the NSAS Rocket Engine Jet Laboratory, and they will rush over as soon as possible to analyze it..."
"Communications with leaders of various countries also need to start immediately. We cannot yet judge whether this is a new type of weapon or technology, but what we need to be vigilant about is whether similar situations only occur here, or whether they may occur many times. Across the country? Or other countries? I'm sure they'll understand too."
In the noisy joint conference room, everyone's discussions and orders continued to be issued. After half an hour, all senior officials in this conference room were evacuated first. They will take the cars provided by the Air Force to the Cheyenne Mountain underground command center, where they will receive safety guarantees before responding. its command.
Everyone in the White House was restless.
What happened in just a few hours was more bizarre and terrifying than what many people present had experienced in their lifetimes. No one could believe that one day the President and Vice President of the United States and other high-ranking officials would be kidnapped... No, it should be. The entire White House was hijacked.
Even if it is a hijacking, the powerful United States is actually unable to do anything about it. This is really shocking, and at the same time, I feel very frightened and uneasy deep in my heart.
For almost three hours, Banning has been raising his head from time to time to look at the mysterious man in the sky. Compared with the restless situation of others, he has a feeling that that man is the source of all this. He must have some kind of specific purpose. existence of purpose.
So, assuming that this man has a technology or supernatural power that they cannot explain, understand, or know at present, what does he plan to do if he hijacks the entire White House?
If it were aimed at the president, with his power, there is no need to levitate the entire White House into the sky. This is simply unnecessary.
But if it's not aimed at the president, then he is...
Wait, the White House?
Banning's eyes flickered, why the White House?
What is the significance of the White House?
Compared with many previous US presidents, the White House is in a sense the true symbol of the United States and the representative of the center of power. The kidnapping of the president is shocking, but compared to the idea of suspending the White House into the sky, the second situation is obviously more shocking to the world. . This can be seen in the news sent back from the relay. The media and the world are paying more attention to the White House.
His goal is not to simply hijack the president, but to use the White House to promote it to the entire world.
Promote what?
What does he want to preach?
Banning raised his head and stared at the man dozens of meters above the White House for a long time. Even after watching for so long, he was still shocked by this scene every time he raised his head.
"Um?"
Banning's pupils suddenly shrank, and the man moved.
…
…
"The United States has entered a state of first-level combat readiness, and all citizens of Washington, D.C., are evacuating in sequence..."
"China, Russia, Japan, India, the United Kingdom, France, Germany... declared a state of emergency and began to mobilize the military; but in the Middle East, the attack on the White House triggered nationwide jubilation, with hundreds of thousands of people celebrating in the streets And burned the American flag. Local diplomats are worried that this may trigger riots and armed conflicts. Americans in the Middle East are hereby warned to evacuate through the embassy as soon as possible..."
"This is an emergency broadcast on South Korea's KBS TV station. President Park issued a national emergency order. All South Korean coalition forces, armed police, and surface forces have made first-level combat preparations. All troops on the 38th line are on armed vigilance. The engineering troops have urgently set up residential camps. Be prepared for the unexpected!”
On the streets of Seoul where people come and go, for the first time, large groups of people stopped to watch the big screen. The traffic also slowly stopped. People looked nervous, pursed their lips tightly, and had strong uneasiness on their faces. The children held on tight. I didn't know why the adults were so uneasy.
