Although only a month has passed since the Poseidon cruise ship incident, some people still think about cruise travel, just like airplanes may have accidents, but some people still choose to fly.
At this moment, on the cruise ship,
The banquet hall was brightly lit, filled with cheerful music and bustling with activity. Guests, dressed in elegant formal attire, enjoyed fine wines and delicacies while chatting amongst themselves.
A family of four sat around a round table. To celebrate the father's sixtieth birthday, they had given him a lottery ticket as a birthday present. Unexpectedly, he won the grand prize. They excitedly hugged and cheered, attracting the attention and congratulations of those around them.
At another long table sat two old friends who had been college classmates but had lost contact. They never expected to meet again on this cruise trip, and they excitedly shook hands with each other.
In a corner stood a couple who had met on this cruise trip, fallen in love at first sight, and become inseparable ever since.
In the center of the dance floor, a couple were gracefully twirling as they celebrated their wedding anniversary.
On the stage stood a banquet singer with a beautiful voice, performing "My Way." His singing drew applause and cheers from all the guests.
Around a square table sat several travelers from different countries who had met on this cruise. They were chatting animatedly, sharing their travel experiences and feelings.
The banquet on the cruise ship was a grand party, and all the American passengers enjoyed it, looking forward to the rest of the journey.
however,
At this moment, a crisis occurred.
Two days ago, a group of ruthless bandits disguised themselves as guests and infiltrated the ship. Now, they acted swiftly and forcefully occupied the main control room, the captain's cabin, and other important locations.
They skillfully destroyed various navigation and radar systems...
After they had captured the core area and started planting bombs in key locations, they began broadcasting.
"Lady and gentleman!"
"I'm delighted to announce some exciting news: the Argo cruise ship has now been officially taken over by our Giant God Group!"
this moment,
The entire Argo, with over 4000 American tourists: "…………"
Qi Qi was stunned on the spot.
Thud~~~~
Wine glasses, guitars, forks... all fell to the ground.
"Ahhhh~~~~~"
Panic is spreading!!
Tourists who were enjoying their trip were now screaming in terror and fleeing, trying to hide in secluded places.
Broadcast: "I know you are all scared, but don't be scared. This time, we are just using you to make a deal with the United States."
……
……
presidential palace.
"Oh yes, this is the president!!"
President Croton rested his feet comfortably on the presidential desk.
Because of the paralysis of Congress, President Croton's power has increased dramatically during this period, and he is extremely happy. He took the opportunity to plant many spies in various government agencies, while many others also defected to him.
Even when he hired three new fair-skinned and beautiful young female secretaries, no one dared to say anything, and his old wife, who had been living a sallow life, was no longer as aloof and arrogant towards him as before.
This allowed him to finally enjoy the wonderful feeling of supreme power.
"Ring ring ring~~~~"
The phone on the president's desk rang.
He picked up the phone.
"Mr. President, something terrible has happened! Another American cruise ship has been robbed by the Giant God Group!"
Clang~~~
"Mr. President? Mr. President?"
President Croton scrambled to his feet from under the table, his face grim: "What happened?"
General Mark reported in detail: "Three minutes ago, the Giant God Group called to say that the 'Argo' cruise ship had been kidnapped, with more than 4000 tourists on board... We have confirmed this through multiple channels, and they have also sent photos; it has indeed been kidnapped!"
"Bang!"
President Croton was so angry that he smashed the phone!
"Fake Squid!"
"Damn Giant God Corporation!"
"Why is this never going to end? Damn it, this Giant God Group must be something the people from Dongzhong and Xiongguo are behind!"
"hateful!!"
Not long after, the secretary rushed in to report, which included the demands of the Giant God Group.
"Forty-eight hours later, witnessed by special envoys from major countries around the world and broadcast live across the United States, the Federal Reserve's underground vault was opened and authenticated!"
President Croton: "???"
My first reaction was, I was completely dumbfounded!
What is Giant God Group trying to do? What business is Giant God Group of the Federal Reserve's coffers?!
My second thought was, "Is the Giant God Group going to rob the vault?"
But it seems unlikely, because the United States has troops stationed in the area, and gold is so heavy, how could it be transported away?
"So, what exactly is the Giant God Group trying to do?"
and many more……
Suddenly, President Ketton thought of a possibility.
He had long heard a rumor that the gold in the Federal Reserve's vaults had been secretly diverted and sold off long ago.
Moreover, the Treasury audits these gold reserves every year, but President Ketton has never seen any audit report. Every time he asks, the Treasury gives vague answers, contradicting his position as president.
"Could it be..."
"Is there something wrong inside?"
President Croton looked grim and called the Minister of Finance over.
Not long after,
The phone at the presidential palace kept ringing, with heads of state from various countries calling in.
"We've heard that the Giant God Group is threatening your country, the United States, to open the Federal Reserve's vault?"
"And you're demanding that all our countries be present?"
“It’s so dangerous, we don’t really want to go, but in order to avoid causing trouble for your United States and to save the precious lives of those 4000 tourists, we are willing to send personnel to the United States to meet the demands of the Giant God Group.”
President Ketton listened to the phone calls from various heads of state; although their words differed, the meaning was the same.
They're coming to the US!
Watch the Federal Reserve!
"Fake!"
"It's obvious that the Giant God Group is secretly colluding with these countries!"
"It's over, what should we do now?"
"Reject the Giant God Group?"
As soon as the thought crossed President Croton's mind, he quickly shook his head. He couldn't do that again. Last time, more than 5000 tourists were killed and the Capitol was burned down. If it happened again this time, he might not even be able to save his own life.
An hour later, the finance minister arrived at the presidential palace by helicopter from New York.
President Ketton cut to the chase: "You've probably heard about it. The Giant God Group is demanding the opening of the Federal Reserve's vaults. I'm asking you very seriously, is there a problem with the Federal Reserve's gold reserves?!"
Finance Minister: "…………"
He broke out in a cold sweat on his bald head.
He forced a smile: "This...the vault...there's no problem..."
President Croton was furious!
"Bang!"
A cup was thrown at him, and the coffee spilled all over the Finance Minister.
President Croton pointed at the Treasury Secretary's nose and angrily shouted, "At a time like this, you're still lying to me! I haven't seen the annual audit report, and you're saying there's no problem?"
"Tell me, what's going on now!"
"..."
"Fine, you won't talk, huh? I'll have someone investigate you right now, until your whole family is in jail!"
President Croton was truly furious.
Damn it, how dare you! You don't even share the profits with me!
……
quickly,
The news spread throughout the United States.
Hundreds of millions of Americans were outraged.
"What? Another cruise ship has been kidnapped?"
"There are more than 4000 people inside?"
"It's not over yet!"
"The Giant God Group's request this time is merely to inspect the Federal Reserve's underground vaults? Is it that simple?"
"It's just a vault, what's wrong with opening it and showing it to them?"
"Has Giant God Group actually shown some conscience this time?"
