From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 474 Where is our aircraft carrier?

Q: What should I do if I transmigrate to the United States and want to become its president?
A: To run for office!

Q: What if I don't want to run for president but just want to be president?
A: Become a cabinet member, eliminate everyone in line ahead of you, and you'll be the president.

show!!!

We came to Earth 38, spent so much money, mobilized so many people, and did so many things, just to help a Kran become the Grand Commander and then reap the rewards?
Want to eat fart!

He wasn't the kind of clueless transmigrator who just went with the flow after arriving here.

He came with a mission, and a difficult one at that. He wanted to make a name for himself in the DC Universe and even gain a major advantage in the Underworld. How could he do that alone?
Going it alone is not advisable; the power of the collective is great. Therefore, he needs to gather the masses.

How to gather a crowd?

If I have the opportunity to be president, of course I'll be president.

So, how does one become the president?
Watch American TV shows!

Designated survivors—aren't they like guiding lights?

Although this is a DC universe with superhuman powers, the underlying logic of the United States remains the same. Besides, if you have superhuman powers, so do I. At worst, we can just have a showdown!

The only thing I didn't expect was that the DC Universe was actually a tributary state, related to the Heavenly Court, and also the territory of the Sanmao True Lords, who were at odds with Jiang Chen. If anything big happened, it would alarm the Sanmao True Lords.

Therefore, he used Grek to cause trouble, luring him to become the Heart of the Swarm, so that he would attract the attention of the Heavenly Court, or rather, the Maoshan lineage. This was a substitution tactic.

Even if the Maoshan lineage deduced that this region was about to undergo a major change, they would focus their suspicions on Greck, rather than on Kevin, who was steadily progressing step by step on Earth 38.

The first step is to bypass the Constitution and become president. After all, the president of the "beacon of democracy" has a term limit. However, there are ways to extend the term or even monopolize it. Roosevelt, the first president, and Palpatine have all set examples...

It's good to follow suit.

"...I will faithfully perform my duties as President of the Beacon of Light..."

"...and to the best of my ability, to uphold, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Earth 38 Worthington

In the underground command center of the White House, Kevin completed his oath, and the command center fell silent except for the noise from the screen.

"May God bless you, Mr. President," the Chief Justice said solemnly.

"May God bless the United States." Kevin lowered his hand, turned around, and scanned all the senior officials and military commanders in the war room. His face was solemn, and his aura became sinister, like a vulture searching for its prey.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the time for mourning has not yet come. Now, tell me everything we know, make a list of suspects, find them, and eliminate them!"

Everyone present felt a chill run down their spines; they sensed a distinct killing intent.

Even the few old guys who didn't really trust him clearly felt the pressure.

Ten minutes later, in the command center, a long table was packed with people. The surviving high-ranking officials of the United States were gathered together—government officials, members of Congress, military officials…

The situation room was like a pot of boiling soup, with the surviving heads of various departments arguing amongst themselves and, of course, passing the buck.

"The explosion was extremely powerful. It couldn't have been done by just one or two C4s. This was a meticulously planned inside-outside operation!"

"Nonsense! Our internal screening is extremely rigorous! This is clearly a lone wolf attack by an external extremist group, exploiting a security blind spot!"

"A blind spot? Security on Capitol Hill is at the highest level! Unless there's an insider providing precise intelligence and a channel."

"This is not the time for finger-pointing! The military must immediately go on high alert to prevent further attacks! The security level of the nuclear arsenal..."

"The public is already panic-buying! Rumors are flying everywhere on social media! We must issue a statement immediately to stabilize the situation..." "A statement? A statement about what? We don't even know who the killer is!"

………………

…………

Kevin leaned back in his chair, watching the group of people talking and making a racket, feeling a bit disgusted.

dong dong dong! !

He tapped the table three times with his knuckles, and the command room gradually quieted down. All eyes fell on his face, filled with astonishment, scrutiny, expectation, and a hint of barely perceptible suspicion...

Kevin is too young, unbelievably young.

Kevin's gaze swept over their faces, and seeing their suspicious looks, he felt even more annoyed.

Damn it, if this happened in ancient times, you kids would be punished for disrespecting the emperor, and you'd all be dragged out and beheaded.

"Alright, we've argued enough, vented enough, it's time to get down to business..."

After a moment of silence, several people spoke at the same time.

"Bang!!"

Kevin slammed his fist on the table, silencing them once again. "One thing at a time. First, the murderer."

Kevin's gaze fell on an older white man. "Ted, your CIA is monitoring the entire world. Didn't you get a single tip before this? Or were your eyes all set on the South American tyrant's funds?"

Ted, the CIA deputy director, froze, mumbled something, but couldn't say anything, unsure of what to say.

If they had really heard rumors, their bureau chief wouldn't have been implicated!

"Mobilize all overseas resources, global surveillance networks, informant networks, and intelligence backtracking. Give me a preliminary assessment report within 12 hours on the recent activities of all known or suspected terrorist organizations and hostile countries, focusing on any leads related to large-scale explosives or infiltration of our country's high-level security systems. Can you do it?!"

"Yes, Your Majesty... Your Majesty!" Ted wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He didn't know why, but this young commander-in-chief put immense pressure on him.

“FBI!” Kevin’s gaze fell on another person, the FBI director, who hadn’t been at the scene and had survived. “What did the on-site investigation find? Analysis of explosive residue? Surveillance footage, communication records, security personnel logs, background checks on everyone who entered Capitol Hill—I need to know even the slightest anomaly! Within 12 hours.”

“I understand!” FBI Director Richard nodded. “You will get everything you want, Your Excellency.”

“Department of Homeland Security!” Kevin pointed to another department, his gaze settling on a capable-looking middle-aged woman. “Ms. Scarlett, is our homeland still safe?”

Scarlett Hall's heart sank. As the Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security, she knew that with this attack, the Department of Homeland Security's reputation would be ruined. She didn't even want to come, but she had no choice. Their boss had also become sworn brothers with the CIA in this explosion. Apart from her, no one was qualified to represent the Department of Homeland Security.

"We will thoroughly review and analyze all suspicious intelligence, and..."

“Alright, that’s enough…” Kevin waved his hand dismissively. “All early warning intelligence prior to the attack, no matter how low the assessment level was at the time, must be reviewed again! In addition, assess the potential follow-up threat levels to the nation’s critical infrastructure, including the power grid, communications, transportation, and important nuclear facilities, and upgrade their protection! Intelligence must be shared between the three of you in real time and without reservation! Stop hiding things. After something like this happened, put away your petty schemes and find the culprit. That’s our top priority right now. If you need any resources, come directly to me. Right now, your resources are unlimited, but your time is limited.”

"Yes!" the three replied in unison.

“The second thing…” He turned his gaze to the others, “loss assessment and government operations. Deputy Chief of Staff Baker, I need a detailed list of losses, as well as a list of those who died this time, down to each position and identity. For those with positions, what is the order of succession? Get that sorted out immediately to ensure the continuity of this government! And there are legal issues. The legal team will work with you to ensure that all succession procedures are fully compliant with the Constitution and the law. I don’t want to see any legal disputes in the future.”

"Yes!"

"Ministry of Finance, the financial market must be stable, not chaotic. No matter what method you use, stabilize the market for me. Tell those greedy guys on Wall Street that making money is fine, but they need to know when to stop. I don't believe they're all clean." The Vice Minister of Finance wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and repeatedly agreed.

"Finally, the military!" Kevin's gaze fell on the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and he slowly asked, "Where are our aircraft carriers?"
