Chapter 1,157 The Short-Lived President

Immediately after the crash, two Aurora-20 aircraft took off from the Crescent Island military base to patrol the airspace where the plane disappeared. Fifty Halo Marines were dispatched urgently, taking helicopters and patrol boats to carry out search and rescue operations in the target sea area.

Although there was no emergency, the top brass of the Star Ring Trade Army, Navy, Army and Air Force still took the incident seriously with all their energy.

The bilateral relations between New Zealand and the United States are at a historical turning point. Trump was originally supposed to return to the country with an agreement symbolizing friendship, but he encountered a plane crash halfway. The characterization of this accident may directly affect the future diplomatic relations between the two countries and even the global political landscape.

Less than twelve hours after the plane crash occurred, there were already many comments on the Internet pointing to the identity of the man behind the plane crash, and various rumors emerged one after another. Although the comments on the Internet do not have any reference value, we still have to be vigilant.

The top priority now is to find the crashed plane before the Americans. If the person is still alive, he must be protected before Morgan's people. If someone has unfortunately died, then the black box must be found before the Americans.

Jiang Chen, who had just arrived in Star Ring City and was visiting the Special Project Research Institute, immediately went to the Space Department Command Center of Star Ring City after receiving the news, found the Minister of Space Department Kerwin, and issued the order for combat deployment. .

The work of clearing out the nests of Martian species was immediately stopped, and the Seagull-class starship cruising in Mars synchronous orbit immediately set off to return home, along with five orbital airborne brigades to deal with possible changes.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Chen called Ivan on Crescent Island.

"How's the situation?"

"The whereabouts of the missing flight are still unknown. We have dispatched 30 additional coast guard ships to the target sea area to launch a blanket search. Just now, Malaysia and New Guinea also dispatched coast guard ships to assist in our search work. "

Counting the twenty coast guard ships that have already set off, the number of search and rescue fleets dispatched by Star Ring Trading has reached fifty.

The maritime area of ​​New China is huge, more than dozens of times the land area. Without affecting the normal coast guard patrol mission, it is already the limit to deploy fifty coast guard ships to carry out search and rescue operations. Although Air Force One lost contact in the airspace between the Mariana Islands and Wake Island, it is still impossible to conclude that the plane must have crashed in this area.

After briefly understanding the situation from Ivan, Jiang Chen hung up the phone and was about to call the Presidential Office of the New Republic when several missed call pop-ups popped up on the holographic screen.

Seeing that it was Aisha calling, Jiang Chen immediately called back.

As soon as the call was connected, Ayesha reported to him quickly.

"The news came from Bernice. At 5:20 a.m. Washington time, the White House announced that the United States had entered Level 3. The Pentagon also issued documents to all levels of military forces to increase combat readiness. Vice President Mike Pence has been arrested by the FBI. Protect it.”

"Let Bernice find out who has been in contact with Mike Pence in the past few days... no, in the past month." Jiang Chen said.

"I'll go and give the order right away," Ayesha said solemnly.

"Also, let the ghost agents in North America keep an eye on the Pentagon's movements," Jiang Chen continued to order. "If the US military continues to send more troops to Colombia, report to me immediately."

"Yes." Ayesha replied neatly.

…

It has been three days since Air Force One lost contact.

The entire plane seemed to disappear out of thin air, leaving people with only endless suspense. As for whether the passengers on Air Force One survived, experts from all sides have different opinions. However, three days have passed and no clues have been found. This was even after Starlink Trading dispatched a military observation satellite to assist in the search and rescue.

It can be said that the possibility of survival of the people on board is infinitely close to zero.

Regardless of whether Trump is elected or not, a country cannot live without a king for a day.

Just four days after the White House announced that the United States had entered Level 3,

Mike Pence stood on the lawn in front of the White House.

"Today, with a heavy heart, I stand here to read you a sad news." Turning to the first page of the speech, Mike Pence raised his head so that everyone could see clearly. His face was full of heaviness and sadness, "Our president unfortunately encountered a plane crash on his way back from a visit to the new country and his whereabouts are unknown."

"However, life must go on. For our future, we cannot be knocked down by grief and stand still."

"From the moment I became vice president, I knew my responsibilities. When this country is in crisis, the responsibilities and obligations I shoulder prompt me to stand up, stand here, and shoulder our future... "

"My fellow countrymen, the oath I take in the presence of you and God does not belong to me alone, but to all of us, all of us..."

After reading his inaugural speech, Mike Pence solemnly completed the inauguration ceremony under the auspices of the President of the Supreme Court, succeeding Donald Trump who took office less than a month ago and becoming the 47th President of the United States.

At this moment, standing on the roadside not far from the White House lawn, two men in suits stood next to a black car with the door open, looking from a distance at Mike Pence who was delivering his inaugural speech in the center of the crowd. ,Smiling.

"Although it was not Kennedy who was elected, fortunately we have Johnson." Morgan said with a smile.

Lyndon Johnson, the historical successor to President John F. Kennedy after his assassination, was also widely suspected as the mastermind of the Kennedy assassination. In addition to Lyndon Johnson, who became a regular official, the direct beneficiaries of Kennedy's assassination were the Texas oil tycoons and the military-industrial complex that directly benefited from the Vietnam War.

At that time, there were still Jewish elements in the military-industrial complex, but since the fall of the Rothschild family, which influenced the Jewish conglomerate in North America, this interest group is now firmly in the hands of the Morgan and Rockefeller families.

Wall Street has never been more united.

Saying such words at such a moment is almost equivalent to being responsible for the death of Mr. President.

"There are people from the FBI around here. It's better for us to keep a low profile." Although he said this, there was a faint smile on Rockefeller's face, without any nervousness.

Morgan laughed and made no comments.

FBI Director John Cornyn, who sent Mike Pence to the White House, is their man, and this is probably not even known to Trump himself, who promoted John Cornyn.

How deep the water in Washington is is far beyond what outsiders can imagine.

The people hope to elect a president who does not belong to Washington to enter Washington and speak out their voice on their behalf, but they have never thought about how the alternative they elected will face a group of old foxes who eat people without spitting out their bones. To face the intricate web of interests. He didn't even know who to trust, and it was difficult to assemble a leadership team. After all, he couldn't even find a few allies within the party, let alone outside the party.

It would be okay if it happened to be in the interests of the majority of people.

Unfortunately, the first thing he did when he took office was to disturb the behemoth military-industrial complex...

While Morgan and Rockefeller looked at each other and smiled for the victory of Wall Street, Vargas, far away in South America, was also watching this inauguration ceremony filled with "sadness".

After the news of the original sugar cube diplomacy came out, Vargas was already desperate for Colombia's future. Although he didn't know what kind of agreement the United States and the new country had reached, one thing he was sure of was that in the face of greater interests, no one cared what the Colombian people thought or what Vargas thought.

However, things soon took a turn for the better.

President Trump's death allowed Vargas to see the determination of their "allies."

Unfortunately, the interim president, who oversees the military and political power of Northern Colombia, is obviously too pretentious to be wrong. Wall Street hopes that the United States and New Zealand will maintain a Cold War confrontation, but does not want a direct conflict to break out...

But Vargas obviously did not understand this meaning.

As Mike Pence's inauguration ceremony came to an end, a speech was held in Barranquilla, the capital of northern Colombia.

Standing in front of the media cameras, Vargas addressed all supporters of the presidential republic in Colombia and delivered an impassioned mobilization for war.

Civil war is about to break out.
