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

Then he began to analyze:

"As long as we defeat Iraq and establish a pro-American regime, Saudi Arabia, Libya and other countries will eventually lose their power to set oil prices, and we will then largely control the international oil and gas resources from production to transportation, and even the price determination process."

"This not only constrains oil-producing countries like Venezuela and Russia, but also, given that European countries are far more dependent on Middle Eastern oil than the United States, it will inevitably affect Europe's financial investment position, thereby enhancing the attractiveness of the US market and allowing the United States to reap the benefits."

"As long as the United States controls the world's crude oil supply, it will not only benefit the stability of the US economy, but also help the US restrain potential competitors in the future international system."

The feud between the United States and Iran has lasted for decades. The United States has imposed sanctions on Iran in various ways and even strictly prohibited other countries around the world from engaging in any trade with Iran.

It's fair to say that the two sides harbor intense hatred for each other.

Subsequently,

The military representative said solemnly, "Currently, we don't know which countries are backing the Giant God Group, but we basically deduce that it's one of the countries in the East and Central regions. Since we can't find out which specific country it is, we'll just pick one at random."

"On one hand, it can be used to retaliate against the Giant God Group!"

"Secondly, war can be used to divert public attention and shift the conflict abroad!"

"From three perspectives, the East-Central Strategy is our long-term strategy, and entering the game now is just the right time!"

He spoke eloquently and logically, with well-founded arguments.

Other representatives, at other times, might have opposed starting a war.

However, with the current domestic turmoil, stock market crash, and lack of public confidence and trust in the government, a major victory could potentially reverse this situation... perhaps it's worth a try.

President Croton was still hesitant.

At this point, the CIA minister, who had switched his support to the military, said, "Mr. President, I recently received information that California, Texas, and Florida are all secretly making contacts with various parties..."

President Ketton frowned: "Are they trying to seize independence again?"

The CIA minister nodded: "Yes, they want to take advantage of the chaos to declare independence!"

These three US states have long sought independence and have repeatedly expressed their desire for secession publicly.

why?

This is not merely a momentary impulse by three states, but a game within the American political system, a contest between centralism and decentralization. As a federal country, the inherent conflict between the states and the central government is undeniable. The states desire more autonomy and resources, while the central government seeks to maintain national unity and control.

As one of the largest states in the US, California possesses abundant resources and unique economic advantages, and has consistently competed with the central government for greater autonomy and resources. Texas and Florida, as two economically developed and populous states, share similar aspirations with California.

The independent actions of these three states have each brought enormous pressure and challenges to the U.S. central government.

At present, true independence is impossible, but these three states still want to fight for more independence rights.

This kind of power struggle has always existed in the history of the United States, and it's not limited to these three states; it can be considered one of the core aspects of American political operations.

The military representative said seriously, "If we don't take some big action now, we won't be able to shift the domestic conflicts abroad, and then the trouble will be even greater!"

President Croton hesitated: "Let me think..."

This indecisive behavior drew dissatisfaction from many of the delegates present.

The military representative showed no leniency: "I will discuss this proposal on Capitol Hill..."

Once it passes on Capitol Hill, President Croton won't be able to stop it even if he wanted to.

The military representatives were very confident because many parties supported this new war plan, such as the CIA. The more chaotic the situation overseas, the more funding the CIA would have, and the faster it could expand. This is also the reason for the CIA's statement just now.

……

……

A new day, Tuesday.

The US stock market remains open.

The market plummeted to hell from the opening bell, like an unstoppable bout of diarrhea. Retail investors, large corporations, and financial institutions alike scrambled to dump their surplus shares. Salvation? Forget it. Nobody's going to use their own money to save the world. As long as you're faster than everyone else, you win.

The only sectors still in the red are military, healthcare, and energy stocks, which benefit from the war, but even these are teetering on the brink of collapse.

By noon

All-American TV received another threatening phone call from ruthless criminals.

"Blow up Mount Rushmore in 10 minutes!"

This immediately drew the attention of the entire United States to Mount Rushmore.

Local television stations' live broadcast helicopters, along with police and fire helicopters, rushed to the scene, and then, under the watchful eyes of the entire United States, with a deafening roar...

A massive explosion occurred.

The earth is shaking!

Then we saw those presidents collapse and fall to the ground.

……

With this explosion,

The US stock market has fallen even more sharply.

The entire nation was gripped by panic, and confidence in the country was more pessimistic than ever before.

……

Evening, 19:00

Fox TV

The lights were on in the TV station's news department, and almost all the staff were busy at work. The constant stream of news these past few days had kept them incredibly busy, leaving them no time to catch their breath.

Just then, the front desk of the TV station received an unnamed package containing a CD.

There was also a piece of paper: "A letter from a ruthless bandit."

The receptionist quickly sent the CD to the news department.

The news department was in an uproar.

Then I opened the CD and took a look.

Argentine thugs: "We've said it before, we came to America not to hear your repentance, but to bring you pain! Chinatown, the Golden Gate Bridge, Mount Rushmore are just the beginning!!"

"Fuck!"

"It really is this group of ruthless bandits!"

"This is a provocation against the United States!"

"court death!"

The entire department was collectively furious, while at the same time, many people were secretly delighted: this news was absolutely explosive!

Then it was quickly sent to the TV station owner, who was equally agitated... no, furious!

The boss slammed his fist on the table in anger: "Enough said, broadcast this news immediately, at least three times. Also, I want to see a special report!"

Fox News channel used to be dedicated entirely to news in the evenings. Now, any news reports about terrorists or hardened criminals get extremely high viewership.

News Minister: "Boss, before broadcasting the news, should we consult with the higher-ups? What if they don't allow it?"

The boss said succinctly: "Play it first!"

The press secretary understood: "Yes, boss!"

10 minutes later,

Fox News reported this to citizens across the United States:

"Viewers, we have an urgent news briefing. Just now, our television station received a disc... Let's take a look at the contents of the recording..."

……

As the news broadcast...

The entire nation looked up at the television in shock.

"oh my god!"

"What a daring bandit!"

"They actually dared to release a video to provoke the police?"

They were stunned when they saw the ruthless bandit on TV!

Then I got angry!

"This ruthless bandit is too arrogant! He killed someone and then started provoking us?"

"This shows a complete disregard for the United States!!"

"Holy crap, he's gone mad, completely insane!!"

At this moment, countless citizens across the United States, from south to north and from east to west, were collectively shocked.

Those ruthless bandits are too arrogant!

Some busybodies have already started calling their friends and family: "Quick, watch TV! Breaking news!" "Sleep? Forget about sleeping, get up and watch the news!"

Countless Americans are outraged!

It felt like being stepped on in the face by ruthless thugs, who were blatantly provoking me!

……

At this moment, the top officials in the United States were naturally furious!

"Can't wait any longer!"

"This ruthless bandit must be from Iraq!"

"War, we must have war!!"

Chapter 382 The United States Declares War! The Giant God Group and Iraq

President Croton delivered a 'painful' speech.

Finally, he uttered the words that would change the course of history:

"After confirmation from multiple sources, our senior management has successfully identified the mastermind behind the Giant God Group—the Wolf Kingdom!"
