Hong Kong variety show: An undercover agent from Infernal Affairs? I'm not human anymore!

Jim picked up a wad of banknotes and sniffed them. Although they smelled musty and dusty, they still fascinated him.

"And I... am the same!"

"I only like money!"

Chapter 369 The Powerful United States, Another Storm Begins

Black Palace.

At this point, President Croton convened another large meeting.

The meeting's main topic was—"Should we redeem them or not?"

Keton's expression was serious: "Now everyone knows the situation. Let's discuss what to do? Should we redeem them or not?"

What followed was a discussion that lasted for half an hour.

Finally, the Foreign Minister said with a serious expression, "I firmly believe that we must ransom them, otherwise I can't predict what kind of anger will erupt in other countries' diplomatic disputes."

However, the military remained firm: "We cannot ransom them. If we do, it will set a bad precedent, and countless kidnappers will set their sights on high-ranking government officials. What will happen then? Everyone here could be kidnapped!"

Everyone: "…………"

Upon hearing this, all the hesitant attendees began to lean towards not redeeming the person.

After all, diplomatic incidents are not as important as one's own safety.

Even the foreign minister remained silent.

The military general added, "Furthermore, we send spies to spy on other countries' secrets, but don't other countries also send spies to the United States? Even if these countries want to cause trouble, so what? As the world's leading power, do we, the United States, fear them?"

tough!

overbearing!

But it made everyone in the audience stand up straight and puff out their chests.

Yes!

Who are we Americans afraid of?!

President Ketton understood, and finally said, "Then let's vote. The votes in favor of ransom..."

Next comes the voting process.

Ten minutes later, the voting results were: 19 votes against, 6 abstentions, and 0 votes in favor…

The result is obvious!

Everyone wants to avoid the risk of being kidnapped.

President Ketton made the decision: "Although this is not a formal vote, it represents everyone's fair opinion. Therefore, we will take a firm stance against the ransom demanded for the kidnapping of the CIA director!"

"The meeting is dismissed!"

“Wait, Mr. President!” the military general said. “Furthermore, it is necessary to restrict all media outlets across the United States from reporting any news about the Giant God Group.”

Upon hearing this, many people's expressions shifted.

This method will affect the interests of media groups, which are backed by large capital entities, and these entities will inevitably express their dissatisfaction.

The president thought for a moment and nodded: "It is indeed necessary to impose some restrictions!"

The meeting is adjourned!

……

……

The Black House held a grand press conference!

Because Washington, D.C. is one of the world's centers, it is home to a large number of journalists from across the country and around the world, so a great many journalists attended this press conference.

When facing reporters from around the world, President Croton forcefully stated his tough stance:

"Our United States has risen from a barren land to a global superpower in just a few hundred years, a process filled with countless hardships and challenges."

"From the 16th-century explorer Columbus to the 18th-century war hero Washington, and then to the heroes of the 20th century, they faced difficulties including internal conflicts and contradictions, as well as external enemies and challenges."

"It is precisely these difficulties and challenges that have shaped the resilience and determination of the United States. With their wisdom, courage and perseverance, the United States has gradually developed from a small colony into the most powerful country in the world."

"At this moment, the United States is facing a major challenge: a group of ruthless thugs from who-knows-where are trying to destroy our country. Do they think that capturing a mere intelligence chief will bring the United States to its knees? Impossible!"

"We, the United States, will never yield to any evil organization! Never!"

"What we will do is—an eye for an eye! A blood for a blood!"

President Croton's voice was solemn and powerful, and his face was dignified and imposing.

All the American journalists in the audience were deeply moved and their eyes were filled with tears!

Magnificent is my Great Rice Empire!

Journalists from other countries were shocked, yet felt it was only natural.

After all, this is the United States, a powerful and domineering country. How could it possibly submit to an organization?

……

By noon, news channels across the United States broadcast President Croton's press address.

Americans across the country were immediately in an uproar.

"Okay! Well said!"

"That's well said. So what if we're threatened by ruthless bandits?"

"Does the Great United States fear a mere KB organization?"

"Haha, President Croton is so domineering! I suddenly think he's a great choice to be president!"

"Oh, that Giant God Group, watch how the US kicks its ass hard with pointed leather shoes!"

Following President Croton's speech, his approval ratings across the country surged instantly.

Although this country is terrible, with all sorts of messy things happening, as the world's leading superpower, it still fills most of its citizens with a sense of national pride. Therefore, the kidnapping and extortion by the Giant God Group was unbearable for many. President Keton's recent statement has greatly restored the nation's shattered sense of pride.

……

San Francisco,

"I didn't expect that!"

Watching the television, Ma Zhichao couldn't help but sigh, "He truly deserves the title of 're-elected people's president.' President Croton's speech was indeed very morale-boosting."

And the United States does indeed have the power to refuse.

Gao Jin: "Boss, it seems the plan has failed."

Ma Zhichao nodded: "It was indeed a failure. The United States taught me a lesson. When strength reaches a certain level, it is indeed invincible."

Ma Zhichao hadn't experienced this kind of failure in a long time.

but,

Ma Zhichao didn't lose either!

Gao Jin: "So, boss, what's next? What should we do with Jim?"

Ma Zhichao thought for a moment and said, "Since he is no longer of any use and we don't have any major leverage over him, let's get rid of him!"

Giant God Group will certainly keep its promise!

However, since the cooperation agreement has not been fulfilled, they are no longer partners or friends, and therefore there is no need to keep the promise!

Gao Jin: "Should we try to extract some classified information from him?"

Ma Zhichao: "Yes, it's good to cause some trouble for the United States."

……

after an hour,

Safe base

"Bang!"

Jim died with a look of astonishment on his face, a black hole in his forehead, his expression one of disbelief.

He didn't understand why he was dying.

They clearly reached a cooperation agreement with the Giant God Group, and even called themselves VIP clients, but this is all they got?

"Giant God Group!"

"You don't keep your word!"

Jim died with his eyes wide open in disbelief!

Unfortunately, no one was destined to hear his words, and everyone would still believe that the Giant God Group had an excellent reputation.

quickly,

The Giant God Group then sent military secrets to countries such as the United States, Victoria, France, and Germany, regarding the infiltration of these countries by American spies.

And the reactions of these countries were remarkably consistent.

Instead of condemning the United States, they directly communicated with the United States, persuading it to offer some benefits to quell the anger of other countries.

that's it……

The commotion caused by Jim's kidnapping came to an end.

……

"Is this the end?"

Although Ma Zhichao had anticipated the reactions from various countries, he was still somewhat disappointed.

"In that case..."

"Then let's move on to the next plan!"

at this time,

Seven or eight thousand 'refugee soldiers' from various countries, filled with hatred, have already entered the United States through various smuggling channels.
