From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 459 The gears of fate begin to misalign

Recently, the winds around Earth 38 have been rather noisy.

In particular, after experiencing an alien crisis, Senator Krak seized the opportunity to introduce the Alien Act, causing a great uproar in the country's upper echelons. Because of this proposal and his handling of the Nashno incident, Senator Krak became the most sought-after political star in the United States. According to recent polls, Senator Krak's support rate continues to lead in the Elephant Party, and if nothing unexpected happens, he is very likely to be nominated as a candidate for president in next year's general election.

Of course, this is just a nomination. Putting everything else aside, the current president is still very capable. As the first female president of the Elephant Party, Ms. Mays has extremely high approval ratings, especially among housewives, who are her strongest supporters. Precisely because of this strong female president in office, the Elephant Party is somewhat perfunctory about next year's election and does not think it can win. Some powerful veteran politicians in the Elephant Party, including some governors, have no intention of participating, which has given Senator Crane an opportunity.

"National hero?"

In the top-floor office of Umbrella Corporation, Kevin watched a giant screen as a group of soldiers rushed into a dungeon and carried out a wild man with gray hair and beard.

The scene shifts, and he sees Kate holding a microphone, standing in the square in front of the White House, her face filled with excitement.

"[Breaking News] U.S. military successfully rescues Marine Corps Sergeant Nicholas Brody, who had been captured for eight years, and he returns to his homeland!"

"The Pentagon and the CIA have jointly confirmed that in a recent covert operation codenamed 'Dawn' in the Middle East, the U.S. military successfully rescued Marine Corps Sergeant Nicholas Brody, who had been held captive by an extremist group for eight years. This soldier, who was listed as 'missing in combat,' has finally embarked on his journey home after nearly three thousand days and nights of imprisonment."

"...Brody, as a member of the 1st Marine Reconnaissance Battalion, lost contact with his unit during a clearing operation in Anbar province, Iraq, while covering the retreat of three wounded comrades. The military subsequently issued a 'combat missing' report."

"...He is not only a soldier, but also a symbol of the nation's spirit. Currently, Brody has been transferred to Ramstein Air Base in Germany for medical evaluation and is expected to return to Washington by military aircraft within 48 hours, where he will receive a hero's welcome. A White House spokesperson revealed that the president plans to personally meet with Brody and award him the Purple Heart..."

"The White House knows how to control public opinion."

Kevin turned off the screen, a smile playing on his lips. Don't be fooled by the fact that aliens are flying all over the world from the United States; it's still doing what it's supposed to do. American soldiers are roaming the world, going wherever there's profit to be made. Take Whitney's world, for example. If it weren't for the fact that it was covered up, she would have been blown up on a deserted island in Indonesia long ago. Tell me, what are you, a high school student, doing on an island in Indonesia?
That's just how lighthouses are.

Earth 38 is the same. The aliens in China have already caused such a big mess, but the advantage of those abroad is that they don't want to miss a single thing. They're making a huge fuss in the Middle East.

Although the current president has high approval ratings, they have recently declined due to the Alien Act and the Nashinno Purge. Moreover, the Alien Act and the alien threat have caused a national uproar, with pro-Elephant Party media reporting on it almost 24 hours a day, igniting this hot topic. If this continues, her approval ratings are likely to decline further, which will be detrimental to her re-election next year.

Just then, Brody appeared, and the leader seized the opportunity to mold Brody into a national hero, using this public opinion to counteract the impact of the alien bill.

However, she probably didn't know that this was a huge bombshell!

"This bomb can't be detonated yet. Keep a close eye on this guy and try to delay his plans. If that doesn't work, try to manipulate him with your mind. If that president is smart, she can play this card until next year, and then detonate it when she and Brody are deeply intertwined."

“The CIA is keeping an eye on this guy too.” Karaka frowned slightly. “His investigation is quite fast, especially since that agent named Carly is not easy to fool. Moreover, this world has superpowers, and the CIA has a certain reserve of power. If they use mind manipulation on Carly, they might be discovered!”

“Then don’t try to fool us, and don’t use any complicated methods. The CIA has so many loyal and devoted agents; losing one or two won’t make a difference,” Kevin said coldly. “The problem is, if Carly dies during the investigation, it will definitely arouse suspicion. Given that president’s caution, even without evidence, he will slowly distance himself from Brody,” Karaka said.

“Unexpected things happen every day. Even the CIA can’t escape the Grim Reaper’s pursuit,” Kevin said calmly. “Whitney knows how to handle it.”

“The plan is too important; it’s not just about her alone,” Karaka said. “If we’re going to deal with someone, we need to take care of the whole group, their investigation data, when to hide them, and when to expose them. We need to think carefully about all of this. The important thing is that we can’t leave the slightest flaw.”

"so what?"

"This time, we need not only meticulous planning and enough patience, but also luck."

"luck?"

“Smolwell’s luck,” Karaka said. “Make a plan, then transfer all of Smolwell’s luck to ensure everything goes smoothly.”

Whitney, what do you think?

"I'm fine with this. Luck is luck. When it comes to big things, there's no room for hesitation."

In an ordinary house in the Middle East, Whitney looked at the man with a blank expression and smiled slightly. "I'll take care of Smallwell. Chicago must not interfere in this matter. There must be no trace of it. Also, pay attention to the timeline."

“Alright, let’s do it this way!” Kevin nodded and looked at Karakay. “Let’s mobilize our luck. This time, we need to be absolutely certain.”

It was the same office.

The middle-aged man surnamed Chu stared blankly at the red light that was sounding the alarm again. Then he turned his head and looked at the data that was flashing wildly on the screen. His brows furrowed deeply. "What's going on? Is the machine malfunctioning?"

Before the words were finished, beep—

A piercing alarm sounded, and this time, it wasn't just his room that lit up; all the alarm-equipped areas in the entire association lit up.

"Warning, warning... A large-scale historical deviation has been detected in the course of this universe's history. The underlying logic will be rewritten, and the gears of fate have been misaligned... This has been reported to the adjudicating body to determine whether to intervene..."

Inside a building in the capital city, barely visible to the naked eye, a young man, his face filled with despair, frantically grabbed his hair, yelling, "Damn it, did things have to go this far?!"
