Miss President wants to talk to you

I wonder what Edgar thinks now.

Back to the topic.

"In short, we don't need to worry about Wilkes right now."

Eleanor said, "As long as the plan proceeds smoothly, he will naturally send all the secret files to me."

"What about the intelligence in this telegram?"

Edgar asked, "Knowing that Wilkes is planning to assassinate you, we can't just do nothing, can we?"

Upon hearing this, Eleanor looked up in confusion.

"Ready? Isn't everything already ready?"

He asked, "While Wilkes' behavior was indeed more extreme than we imagined, didn't we have contingency plans?"

At this point, Eleanor's expression turned serious.

"Edgar, don't tell me you haven't finished the things I asked you to do before!?"

"Oh! Those things!"

Edgar realized what was happening and said, "Don't worry, there's absolutely no problem, everything's taken care of!"

"That's more like it."

Eleanor decided to get it checked out later, just in case Edgar failed her again at a crucial moment.

Thinking about this, he felt somewhat fortunate.

Fortunately, this time, Wilkes chose assassination, and the target was himself.

Eleanor hadn't anticipated that the secret files would be this powerful.

It is possible to bypass the existing security forces of the White House and directly assassinate a high-ranking government official.

If the target of the assassination is not yourself, but someone else.

Maybe something really bad is going to happen.

Eleanor closed the telegram and pushed it back in front of Edgar.

"Now that everything is done, just wait patiently and don't worry too much."

Fine.

Since Eleanor had already said that, Edgar couldn't object anymore.

She put away the telegram and turned to leave.

As she reached the door, Eleanor suddenly called out to her.

"That's right!"

He said, "Make a call for me and bring Harley Truman over."

"I have a few work-related questions I need to ask her."

……

The next two days passed peacefully.

Nothing unusual happened.

Soon, the third day arrived.

Less than five hours remain until Wilkes' promised seventy-two hours.

It was already late, but Eleanor was still working in her office.

Truman sat across from him at the desk, also working overtime.

The Valley Authority's draft law has recently been released, and Truman is carefully reviewing the authority's legal powers.

"This isn't suitable yet."

Truman discovered a problem and showed it to Eleanor.

"It states that the management bureau can temporarily take over the land, but it does not clearly stipulate the ownership of the proceeds during the dispute period."

"If we don't write it down clearly now, it will cause a lot of trouble later."

Eleanor took the draft, ready to take a closer look.

suddenly.

thud

A muffled explosion suddenly came from afar.

The entire office shook slightly.

Eleanor quickly looked up and gazed out the window.

The explosion came from the north side of the White House, which was not close, but definitely not far either.

Thick smoke billowed up, quickly obscuring half the sky.

Followed by.

Dong dong dong

Then a series of explosions rang out.

Moreover, it's getting closer and closer to the White House.

Hurried footsteps echoed down the corridor, and the next second, the door was flung open.

"Mr. Hopkins!"

The duty officer from the Presidential Security Service rushed in, followed by two armed guards.

They were clearly relieved to see that Eleanor was alright.

Eleanor had by then recovered from the shock of the explosion.

"What happened?"

He frowned and asked, "Is the president alright? Where's Chief of Staff Louise? Don't worry about me, let the leaders go first!"

"An explosion occurred more than 600 meters north of the White House. The current situation is unknown."

The officer on duty spoke quickly, "President Rosef and Ms. Louise have begun their transfer to a safe location."

"Please begin your evacuation as soon as possible!"

The officer on duty also looked flustered.

This was the first time in his career that he had encountered such a crisis.

Although the explosion occurred several blocks away from the White House.

But explosions continued to occur, and the blast was getting closer and closer to the White House.

This is sufficient to trigger the emergency ordinance.

In this day and age, there are no safe bunkers or presidential shelters in the White House.

Even in a parallel world of America, construction wouldn't begin until after the attack on Pearl Harbor.

In the event of an explosion, the only option was to transfer the president to a safe location in an armored vehicle.

“Mr. Hopkins, according to regulations, the president’s key assistants need to be transferred separately from the chief of staff.”

The officer on duty said, "We have arranged a vehicle for you. You will be heading to Fort Myer, the Admiralty's backup office on the riverbank."

Eleanor nodded.

He was naturally aware of this rule; it was a clause that Louise had specifically added.

It's to prevent any unexpected event from happening one day, where Louise and Eleanor are both killed in one fell swoop.

I didn't expect to use it so soon.

"I understand! I'm coming right now."

He picked up his coat. "Truman, come with me."

Truman remained silent, carrying the file bag, and followed Eleanor away.

The White House has been quickly locked down.

Several guards are checking the corridors and stairwells to ensure they are unobstructed.

Everyone was very nervous in the face of this situation.

I'm afraid that even the slightest mistake could lead to irreparable consequences.

When Eleanor arrived at the south foyer, he saw Rosef's convoy start up.

Rosef glanced at Eleanor through the car window.

Because she had already been warned, Rosef didn't seem too scared.

I'm just a little worried about Eleanor.

Eleanor nodded to her, indicating that she didn't need to think about it.

Everything is still under control.

The presidential motorcade left first.

The car parked on the other side then drove up to the door.

Eleanor and Truman got into the middle bulletproof car.

A car from the Presidential Security Service led the way, followed by another escort vehicle.

Six guards were seated in two separate vehicles.

After the car left the White House, it followed the predetermined route.

Police sirens were already sounding nearby.

Washington police rushed to the explosion site, and several roads to the north were quickly blocked.
