I, the motherland, do whatever I want - Chapter 495 Another fire
At the other end of the video conference, the South African president immediately went offline and disappeared from the screen after stating his position.
He left so decisively that the federal president had no chance to stay.
His sudden departure surprised and worried presidents in other countries.
Seeing the South African President’s screen go black, the Federal President called several times in an attempt to reestablish the connection, but the South African President did not respond.
With the South African president offline, presidents of other countries also began to fall silent.
“Perhaps Mandela’s decision was right. Our military strength cannot be compared with that of the Federation. Therefore, it is better to obey than to resist.” said the president of a small country.
“Coward, coward!” A president with a violent personality jumped up, “We should cooperate with the Federation and resist the conquerors together!”
“Only in this way can we explain it to future generations!”
A female president sneered: “If we do that, there will probably be no future generations, so there will be no need to explain anything.”
“Sorry, we choose to surrender.”
“Wait, Ms. Nice.”
“Unfortunately, we do not have the strength to fight against the conquerors, so we also choose to surrender.”
“Actually, you don’t need to be too pessimistic. Think about it from another perspective. Maybe after surrendering, the conquerors can share the technology of traveling with us. Don’t you envy Wakanda?”
“You cowards, I tell you, even if I am the only one left in the end, I will fight to the end.”
On the screen, the presidents expressed their opinions.
Some sided with the Federation, but many more chose to surrender.
Some presidents only went offline after saying goodbye, while others directly cut off the video connection.
Looking at the screens that went out one by one, the federal president sighed deeply, took off his glasses, and gently pinched his eyebrows.
He is disappointed, but he also understands the position of other countries.
It is understandable that many countries chose to retreat in the face of strong pressure from their conquerors.
Although the federal president had anticipated that this might happen before the meeting, when he actually faced it, he still felt deeply helpless.
He knew clearly that this time they did not have the support of all countries in their resistance.
Although he understood those countries that chose to retreat, deep down, he was disappointed with those countries that chose to give up resistance.
At this turning point in history, the federal president felt unprecedented pressure.
He knew that they would need more support to fight against the conquerors.
For example, Avengers.
Just when the federal president came up with this idea, suddenly, the screen in front of him flickered, and then a new picture appeared.
The figure of the Conqueror appeared on all the screens, and the man with blond hair and blue eyes was now the nightmare of the Federal President.
This nightmare appeared before me again at this moment.
The conqueror on the screen smiled.
“Just now, we received responses from 87 countries, and they all made the right choice.”
“Next, I will announce the names of these countries, and promise here that any country that is willing to establish contact with the John Empire will be protected by us.”
“Any country, group, or individual’s attack on these countries, or even public criticism, will be regarded as a provocation to us.”
“My response is simple, whether you are a country, a group or an individual.”
“To those who provoke, I will grant destruction among equals.”
“It has been 12 hours since we issued the ultimatum. In order to help others make up their mind faster, I am announcing it now.”
“After 12 hours, we will give priority to attacking the Earth Federation, if they refuse to join.”
“So, those who are still in the federation, non-federal or federal native residents.”
“If you want, you can evacuate now. Unless you want to live and die with the Federation, otherwise, I believe you will make the right choice.”
“In addition, in the next 12 hours, all actions to support the federation, whether it is material assistance or public support.”
“They will be regarded as collaborators of the Federation, in other words, as our enemies.”
“At that time, when we attack the Federation, we will also attack the Federation’s allies.”
“Humans, I allow you to challenge my authority, as long as you are willing to pay the price.”
“Finally, I wish everyone on Earth to spend the next 12 hours happily.”
Communication ends.
Suddenly, there was an uproar in the conference room.
A general stood up and roared: “Despicable! This despicable conqueror, he listed us as the number one target to attack in order to use us to demonstrate and demonstrate their military power!”
“At the same time, it is also a warning to other countries.”
The Minister of the Interior rubbed his brow and sighed: “Not only that, he also threatens other countries. In this way, other countries will definitely not stand on our side.”
The Minister of Defense said loudly: “But we can force their support. We have supported many countries over the years and helped them build a reassuring line of defense, so that they have enough confidence to face the enemy who is eyeing them!”
“We have brought peace to so many countries. At this turning point in history, they must make the right choice!”
Ministers and officials spoke one after another, but the federal president remained silent. He even left his seat and called his secretary aside.
“Have you contacted the Avengers?”
The secretary shook his head: “There has been no answer.”
“Since Colonel Rhodes died, we have basically lost contact with the Avengers.”
The federal president smiled bitterly: “If we could contact them and have them attend the press conference, the situation would be much better.”
“But now, I can probably imagine what will happen in the next 12 hours.”
“Convene a press conference. The Federation should make its voice heard instead of remaining silent.”
If possible, the federal president actually wants to remain silent, or control the media and guide public opinion.
The technological level of the Conqueror is far above the earth. Every time he appears, it will be broadcast live worldwide.
News like the one just now cannot be blocked at all. Forcibly controlling the media to suppress public opinion will only be counterproductive.
In such a situation, all the federal president can do is to explain the situation, provide guidance, and minimize turmoil.
However, the federal president still underestimated the impact of the global live broadcast just now.
After the conqueror’s shocking words, the entire Federation fell into chaos and panic.
People are deeply enveloped in an atmosphere of despair. Even the Federation, recognized as the most powerful country on earth, seems unable to withstand threats from forces outside the earth.
Although the Federation has strong military power, it all seems so insignificant in the face of the power from the universe.
Military forces from outside the earth will give priority to attacking the Federation in just 12 hours, making people full of doubts and worries about the future of the Federation.
What’s more, what the conqueror said just now directly threatened the allies of the Federation, making them afraid to act rashly.
If the Federation is unwilling to surrender, then when the time limit is up, the Federation will be as isolated as an island.
In major cities such as New York, Washington, and Chicago, residents are scrambling to flee the city in an attempt to find safe haven.
But now, apart from leaving the Federation, there is no safe place.
The streets were filled with people, carrying valuables from home or packing their bags to flee the country that was about to become a war zone.
Chaos and panic gripped the city as people fled at all costs, even abandoning some of their assets.
At the same time, earth-shaking changes have also taken place on national borders.
The illegal smuggling phenomenon that was common in the past no longer exists. Instead, a large number of federal citizens illegally cross the border, trying to enter other countries to seek asylum.
This has made the neighboring countries of the federation extremely sensitive and nervous. They are worried that the flow of refugees will bring uncontrollable social problems to their countries.
In the city, black people took the opportunity to rob stores, and social security fell into chaos.
The police and military are busy responding to these emergencies, but they are unable to contain the deterioration of the situation.
Hopes for the future had been shattered, and the fate of the Federation was unknown.
Under such circumstances, even the normally aloof wealthy people felt panicked. They took private planes to flee the country. Even if they had received warnings and even if they had to abandon some of their assets, they could not change their choice.
For a time, the entire federation fell into chaos and panic.
People feel the wind is rising and everyone is in danger.
This atmosphere of despair permeated every corner. The city became deserted, shops were looted, and social order was paralyzed.
In this situation, many people start looking for a way out.
Some tried to cross the border into other countries to seek asylum, while others chose to stay in the Commonwealth, hoping to find a safe place to escape the disaster.
However, for most people, their choices are not made by themselves but are forced by reality.
As time went on, things got worse for the Federation.
More and more people are starting to lose hope and they feel abandoned and helpless.
Under these circumstances, some people became radicalized and began looting and attacking government agencies and commercial facilities.
This chaotic situation further exacerbates social unrest.
Even if the federal president holds a press conference in time and assures citizens across the country that the federal government will be able to handle this crisis.
However, how many people would believe it?
When the Federation became turbulent due to the Conqueror’s speech, and even began to collapse from within, far away in New Asgard, Norway, Thor smashed the second computer to pieces.
“This bastard, he is provoking a war, damn it!”
Blue lightning surged in Thor’s eyes, and electric snakes were already leaping on the surface of his body.
Valkyrie looked at the TV that was smashed by Thor’s fist and sighed: “I just bought this from the store.”
“I just swiped my credit card, but if there was a war, maybe I wouldn’t pay it.”
Thor spread his hands: “No, is this the time to discuss this kind of thing?”
Valkyrie shrugged his shoulders: “But I can’t do anything against the Conqueror. Can we fight against the Conqueror with just a few of us?”
She pointed at the king: “Didn’t this Mr. Magician remind us that in addition to the Infinity Gauntlet, the Conqueror also has a ‘Book of Darkness’ in his hand?”
“Spare me. All my courage was used against your sister back then.”
Thor patted her back: “This doesn’t look like the crazy girl I know.”
“I’m not that crazy anymore.” Valkyrie shook her head, “especially since I quit drinking recently.”
“Okay, everyone.”
The king came over and said, “We may not be at a loss.”
He pointed at America Chavez: “This little girl has found a universe suitable for imprisoning the Conqueror. If we can exile the Conqueror to that universe, he will not be able to come back.”
“In this case.”
Valkyrie interjected: “This way, our enemy will have one less conqueror, only his army and his generals. That’s awesome.”
Thor covered her mouth and smiled apologetically at the others: “She has been quitting drinking recently and is a bit irritable.”
Banner smiled bitterly: “Crazy girl is right, but even if there is only one less conqueror, that is a good thing.”
“It’s just that it’s not easy to exile the conqueror to another parallel universe.”
Spider-Man nodded and said: “I just analyzed it. To complete this plan, we need to do at least two things.”
Peter Parker raised a finger: “First, we have to let the Conqueror enter the parallel universe. I guess he will never enter that universe voluntarily.”
“So no matter what we do, whether we deceive, seduce, or use force, we have to throw him into that parallel universe. Only then will this plan have some chance of being realized.”
He raised a second finger: “However, conquerors are not fools. Even if we can complete the first thing, we still have to consider the second thing.”
“The second thing is, how can we ensure that the conqueror stays in that parallel universe?”
“He will definitely try to escape. He is very fast. At least when America Chavez closes the passage outside, it is possible for him to escape.”
“In that case, our plan will be ruined. At least I don’t think he will step on the same trap twice.”
The scene fell into silence.
Wang said in a deep voice: “We need to ensure that he does not come out when America Chavez closes the channel. If we want to do this, he will not come out.”
Banner raised his head: “Someone needs to make a sacrifice.”
“Let me do it. When the time comes, I will stay in another universe with the Conqueror. I will control him. If I use all my power, I can delay it until America closes the passage.” (End of Chapter)
