Chapter 1,349 It’s a Big Deal
Live broadcasts and rebroadcasts were interrupted momentarily.
Public opinion was in an uproar.
The citizens of Yokosuka, who originally had little regard for the conscience of the US military stationed in Japan, were so angry that they almost dropped their mobile phones, and the sign that had been put aside was raised again. With mixed emotions discouraging citizens to move forward, the Yokosuka City Police's hearts were shaken by the words on the screen.
The indignant people shouted loudly as they pushed the police officers standing outside the cordon.
"Get out of Yokosuka!"
"Liar! Shameful deception!"
"Strong petition! Lift the security treaty!"
"Yokosuka City is not a guinea pig for you Americans, get out of here with your stuff!"
Demonstrators also appeared one after another not only at the entrance of the military base in Yokosuka City, but also at the entrances of military bases in Yokota, Sasebo, and even Okinawa. They held wooden signs high and shouted slogans of protest. While responding to the citizens of Yokosuka, they also shouted out one concise word to the Americans stationed in the military base——
"roll!"
USA, California.
The white man sitting in front of the TV and watching the news raised his hands and held his head in frustration.
"T-Virus... God, tell me this isn't real."
He couldn't believe that his country actually did such a thing.
Originally, he firmly believed that this must be another malicious smear campaign by Starlink Trade on the image of the United States. After all, Futureman 1.0's news section was not a day or two in which it poured dirty water on the United States. However, this time the ironclad evidence was placed in front of him, making it impossible for him to close his eyes and turn a blind eye.
In the comment areas of major websites, forums, and video sites, keyboard warriors have become one with each other.
"Why does CIA want to get the T-Virus data so much? It's unbelievable. What do the bureaucrats in the White House want to do?!"
"The United Nations should take over these servers immediately! No, that's not right! They should be destroyed immediately!"
"I'm not in favor of handing over servers. T-viruses can definitely be used as a deterrent, as long as we're careful enough not to actually use them.
Like a nuclear warhead lying in a silo..."
Both sides hold their own opinions. One side believes that national interests are above all else and expresses understanding of the CIA's collection of T-virus data. The other side believes that humanitarianism comes first. No matter what the purpose is, biological and chemical weapons should not be used as military weapons. use.
In a sense, the polarization of public opinion also reflects the confusion of the American people on whether to move to the left or to the right. And this is why Trump almost tied JFK in less than half a year.
No matter how polarized public opinion is on the Internet, it is clear that the people of California are no longer satisfied with expressing their political opinions on their keyboards. Citizens in San Francisco and Los Angeles, in particular, took to the streets and surrounded the state government and CIA buildings with slogans and protest signs.
According to information disclosed by Future Man 1.0, these servers were originally planned to be shipped back to Los Angeles. So no matter how the US authorities and CIA plan to deal with these servers, California, as the final destination, is placed in a very dangerous position.
Even the most ardent fans of zombie culture don’t really expect that one day the plot of The Walking Dead will happen to them...
Different from the polarization of public opinion in the United States, public opinion abroad is relatively unified, almost unanimously expressing disappointment with the actions of the United States.
In particular, the Finnish people, who have suffered deeply from the "black ships", have taken a clear-cut anti-American stance this time. The Prime Minister of Finland even publicly condemned the CIA's behavior, calling it a vile and anti-human behavior...
…
In a mansion in the suburbs of Tokyo, Sumitomo Kenichi stood in the study, holding the phone in his hand and talking.
"Yes, father, I sent the man."
"My reason is very simple. The situation for the Americans is over. Now is not the time to shrink back! If we stand firmly on the side of the Star Ring Trade, as the victors, they will definitely not forget the contributions we have made!"
"...This is not gambling with the future of the family. In my eyes, this is a sure-win situation. I am just going along with the flow and selling our allies a favor. The Americans will definitely withdraw their troops from Japan within two years. There is a high possibility that Star Ring Trade will replace the Americans!”
"As for my personal safety, it is nothing compared to the interests of the family!"
Resisting the laughter that surged into his throat, Kenichi Sumitomo said these words solemnly.
His father's compliments made him feel a little elated, especially when he heard that the old diehards in his clan had gradually changed their views on his "young and vigorous" attitude, and his heart swelled to the point of beating out of his chest.
After hanging up the phone, he couldn't restrain himself anymore and burst out laughing.
"It's so happy! It's so happy! It's so happy!"
Among all the people who are looking forward to the defeat of the Yankees, the one who is most excited at this moment is none other than Sumitomo Kenichi.
At first, when Jiang Chen asked him to incite people to protest against the Americans, he refused deep in his heart. Let alone the eldest son of a mere Sumitomo conglomerate, no Japanese consortium dared to jump out and confront the Americans until CIA and the US military stationed in Japan got out.
In contrast, these Japanese consortiums would rather offend the prime minister of their own country than the commander-in-chief of the US military stationed in Japan or the CIA's chief of staff in Japan. Because the former cannot go around Congress if they want to tamper with them, while the latter can directly bypass Congress and even all the rules to do it to them...
Mitsui Hongyuan is an example.
Moreover, the other person is still the head of a large financial group, and he is just the eldest son of a certain financial group.
But even if he didn't dare, he had no other choice at the time.
Because Jiang Chen has made it clear enough that this is the only way to survive before him.
If you want to survive, you have to bite the bullet.
Bypassing the head of the Sumitomo Foundation, his father, Sumitomo Kenichi directly used his influence to mobilize civil society groups funded by the Sumitomo Foundation to plan and organize protests at the entrance of the military base.
After doing all this, he completely locked himself in the study room of his private house, nervously waiting for the final outcome of this incident.
From the time when the number of protesters exceeded 10,000, to when the Americans abnormally expressed their willingness to open military bases, his racing heart followed the media reports, and he could not rest at ease.
Especially half an hour ago, when seeing the live broadcast showing the experts from the three countries losing consecutively and the American experts finally coming on stage, Sumitomo Children's Shoes was almost in despair.
However, what he never expected was that the plot would take a turn at the last moment.
Americans fell into the hands of their own people.
Looking at the bewildered American information technology expert, he was so excited that he almost sang a song. He immediately turned on the cell phone that he had turned off and called his father who almost had his phone number exploded.
Everything is like a dream.
Until last night, he was still living under the shadow of CIA's death.
Unexpectedly, in less than twenty-four hours, he had already been pushed into the winner's team...
