{ Acting President of the United States William Speech to the Public }
My fellow Americans.
Tonight I want to talk about our country’s response to the assassination of the President of the United States of America.
We have experienced unprecedented events.
The President of the United States was assassinated in the Oval Office of the White House.
And yesterday, just a few days later, I experienced such shocking things again.
Both the Speaker of the House and the Secretary of State were killed at the same time.
I would like to meditate for them at this moment, but that is only my personal wish.
I can’t.
Because even in that brief time, your enemies will be planning and executing plans to ravage America.
I have to stop that.
We must eradicate them.
That is the mission given to me.
Great fellow citizens of the United States.
America, the land on which we stand now, is no longer safe.
The enemy is right next to us.
Me and you who are watching me right now can be their next target.
This is it right now! This is the reality that lies before us.
When did America become such a country?
When did we have to fear that we would lose our lives?
I affirm this right now and here.
America is a great country.
It is the greatest country in the world that our ancestors worked hard to achieve.
That’s right.
The situation we are facing is not because we, the United States, are not doing well.
This is what is happening because we are not able to gather national opinions in one place.
Look at that Democrat.
To them, the state and the lives of the people are not important at all.
They always act only for their own benefit.
We oppose our proposals in every case, without considering whether our proposals are desirable or not, how urgently necessary or not.
Because the public opinion was divided like this!
The US will not be able to use its power properly and will show loopholes.
The enemy is far stronger than we think, and it is resolutely poking through the open loopholes of America.
Even under these circumstances, if martial law is not enforced, why does it even exist?
I no longer have time to waste on this agenda.
I hope Congress will make a decision within three days.
We will keep an eye on the responsibilities that match the powers granted by the people.

“You did a great job. It was a wonderful speech that moved the people’s hearts.”
The chief of staff greeted the vice president and said:
“Are you okay?”
“It was great. When I first said it, I actually thought it would be difficult to pass martial law… but now that a big event happened and you gave such a famous speech, the probability is close to 100% now. Since the nail has been nailed like this, the Democratic Party actively votes against it. will not be able to exercise.”
He never spoke openly in a speech.
But the meaning was clear.
It is said that the Democratic Party, which opposed martial law, is largely responsible for the disgrace of the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the Secretary of State.
And if they do not cooperate, the responsibility for what will happen in the future is also on the Democratic Party, which has divided the public opinion.
The chief of staff was happy to return.
As dramatic as the reversal of the situation, his situation is also being revived.
If martial law is passed like this, if all power is converged on the vice president and his political power is recognized, he will not give up on himself.
“Anyway, it will be decided within three days.”
“yes.”
“I’ll be alone for a while.”
The chief of staff bowed his head politely towards him.
The vice president enters the secret office.
‘Martial law passed in the parliament… .’
The vice president thought in his own room.
The U.S. military will then take over the executive and judicial powers.
And that means that he, who has the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, will rise to the peak of power.
He will be the most powerful president of all time.
‘I didn’t expect it to this extent… .’
This proposal was proposed by the chief of staff.
The Vice President thought he should keep his post for the merits.
For the time being.
In any case, as he is a person who has supported the president for a long time, he has high eyes to see a great nation.
And above all else, since he was lying face down on me, I thought it would be useful for future work.
On the other hand, the vice president approached.
As he poured his whiskey into a glass, he recalled his speech.
[I would like to offer a moment of silence for them, but that is only my personal wish.
I can’t.]
‘That’s not completely empty. It’s all thanks to you.’
The vice president remembered someone in his head, and he uttered the words to himself as if to say hello.
A whiskey glass being lifted into the air.
The dead Speaker of the House and the Secretary of State.
Thanks to them, it is a national theory that will soon be united.
So, I am willing to say thank you to them.
With the death of the leader of the opposition, a common enemy was created across factions.
Moreover, opposition lawmakers watched the death of the president as if it was someone else’s business.
Their attitude has changed.
Because they deeply felt the threat of death that was imminent right in front of them.
He drank whiskey at once.
And the Vice President, who was standing with his eyes closed, whether he was savoring it or meditating for a moment.
He walked to the desk and picked up the baseball that was on it.
Then, swipe the ball into the air and repeat.
These situations you encountered.
Doesn’t this seem like heaven is helping?
‘Liam Howard.’
He was a truly powerful being that could not be overcome as a vice president himself.
In terms of baseball, he was a star player and he was a candidate for the next decade.
However, as the starting pitcher was so thorough, the candidate never had a chance.
Even if the candidate can do better than the starting pitcher, how can he show that when he can’t play?
For such a long time, the president was obscured, and he was simply a bridesmaid.
Years passing by without fuss.
an aging body.
Liam’s natural charisma and high approval ratings were completely different from other presidents.
And the presence or role of the vice president had to become even smaller.
But once again, the president, who seemed to have grabbed the world, died.
And now I am in that place.
Naturally, there was a lot of backlash and I thought it would not be easy, but the key characters followed suit.
Competitors disappeared, and power was concentrated.
‘The terrorist group isn’t doing this for me… .’
This is heaven helping me.
That’s why no matter how much flying and crawling, a person who can ride the bandwagon can’t win.
‘… It would be useful though. An-Nu.’
The Vice President thought, clutching the ball tightly in his hand.
In order to maintain this position and this power in their hands, they will be needed for the time being.
no,
as long as possible.

“Then I’ll go.”
“Yeah. Take care of yourself.”
It was a place to greet parents before leaving for operation.
Unlike his father, who sees off him calmly, his mother looks at him with eyes full of concern.
“Don’t worry. It’s not dangerous.”
Yuhan-wol smiled once at such a mother and left the room.
When you go down to the first floor, everyone is sitting in the living room.
“Have you come to say hello? Let’s go get a cup of coffee.”
Yuhan-wol nodded and sat down to one side.
Aiden opened his mouth, handed him coffee.
“Bertrand has almost arrived in India. Now, if we take the plane, we will arrive on time.”
‘It’s been quite some time already.’
In Yuhanwol’s thoughts, Aiden’s explanation continued.
“Because Bertrand took all the weapons, there is no need to airlift them from the local area this time.”
People on the left nod their heads.
“As everyone knows, BH must be prepared. Keep in mind that our safety comes first rather than inflicting damage.”
Rivy handed out passports and air tickets.
“Know each name.”
Yuhan-wol asked, checking the name on his passport.
“Any special trend?”
“There is no particular trend related to BH. Overseas facilities, as well as in the United States. The same is true of the terrorist group An-Nu. There has been no movement since the last incident.”
Yang Yang-gwang was Livi’s words.
“The United States is still just quiet. Martial law has been passed in the end, and it’s been a while, but there’s no news.
the words you hear then.
It’s Cain, sipping coffee from one side.
“Both BH and the US are preparing something. Can you please stand still? As much as it has been quiet for a long time, something big will come out.”
“What is the calm before the typhoon, is it?”
A place where there was silence for a moment.
When Yuhan-wol stopped, he nodded as if he knew it and got up from his seat.
“Shall we go?”
Brian, Zhu Chang, and Han Wei wake up behind them.
Bertrand took all of the incidental equipment, so everyone was dressed lightly.
Lee Dan-ah, who sat quietly and looked at them, got up.
She is about to say something.
However, after seeing her once, Yuhanwol spoke first.
“Please take good care of the base.”
And Yuhan-wol turns around and leaves.
Lee Dan-ah looked at their backs for a long time.

A meeting hosted by the Director of National Intelligence.
All intelligence agencies are involved.
“A pleural effusion?”
“I’m chasing you.”
widely
“How much time has passed, but are you still chasing me!”
As if he could not wait any longer, the chief of national intelligence slammed the desk with the palm of his hand.
After a while, he asked again in a tone that became even heavier.
“Has your identity been identified?”
“In the case of the raid on the Speaker of the House, the face is not revealed, so the identity cannot be determined. We succeeded in restoring the image that was damaged by the blow of Anga. Take a look here.”
An image of the pleural effusion appears on the screen.
“That’s… how is it possible?”
The voice of the national intelligence officer came out like a moan.
It flies through the air like a cannonball and falls to the ground.
And the appearance of the pleural effusion that got up and moved as if nothing happened.
“…that point is being analyzed.”
“Even if we use advanced technology… will that happen? No matter how strong the outer armor is, wouldn’t the impact be transmitted inside?”
“I’m getting advice from experts on in what cases it’s possible.”
The National Intelligence Service kept staring at the screen.
he opened his mouth again.
“Is that where our agent hit the bullet?”
“Yeah, but it looks like you didn’t take any damage.”
The chief of national intelligence sighs deeply.
“Huh… So, what about the Secretary of State? That means you’ve already secured the face of a pleural effusion?”
“Yes. But… the identity is also unspecified. There is no matching person in the database.”
“Then what?”
“First of all, we have urgently requested cooperation from the intelligence agencies of other countries. In this case, an answer will come soon.”
The national intelligence officer was silent for a moment.
He let out a low voice.
“The fact that you revealed your face… is because you’re confident you won’t be caught?”
“…it seems very likely.”
“What about the tracking situation?”
“In the case of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, no traces have disappeared under the nearby overpass. We are conducting detailed analysis by securing CCTV images of surrounding areas and black box images of cars passing at the time.”
“Who’s the one with that face exposed?”
“After going into the river, his whereabouts are unknown. It is certain that he did not come out of the water. We searched under the river, but no bodies or anything else was found. Apparently, infiltration equipment was placed in the water beforehand.”
“It doesn’t look like it’s easy to catch a pneumothorax in both cases… Any other clues?”
“In both cases, portable missiles were used. You can see it here.”
The image rotates on the screen.
A van that ran and stopped.
The roof is raised, and there is another roof underneath.
Moving between them are four portable missiles.
“Vehicle-mounted. Remotely operated. The fire control system automatically calculates the trajectory and hits accurately.”
A scene in which missiles are fired one after another flows through the screen.
“What is the source?”
“This is the latest RPG series.”
A typical portable missile model.
It is already expected that it will not be easy to track.
Because it was produced so much and it is being used in many countries.
By the way, it is not visible on the screen because it is covered by the roof.
But the answer to the request came right away.
The national intelligence officer wiggles his eyebrows.
The vehicle slowly disappears from the screen.
“Did you find that car?”
“Yes. It self-detonated not too far from the site of the incident.”
“The driver?”
“There is no video information about the location where the car was found, but it is believed that the vehicle was also remotely controlled.”
“Isn’t there a place where the car started? Or a place where it was modified like that.”
“Yes. Even if not, we are focusing our investigative powers on finding the traces.”
“Whoa…”
The National Intelligence Service let out a long, stuffy breath.
Still, I felt like I wanted something like this.
Unlike the case of the assassination of the president, which is still pending, there is something to be done with this.
In fact, any sense of relief he felt was felt by all American intelligence agencies.
If the assassination of a president feels supernatural, it’s because at least these two events were done by humans.
You can catch any small clue and continue your pursuit.
Then the secretary came and spoke quietly.
“It’s time to attend the National Security Council (NSC).”
“I’ll give you the results as soon as possible!”
The national intelligence officer trudged out of the conference room with heavy footsteps.
