"When I adjust my status, I will hold a press conference and announce my resignation on the spot." Arnold said.
With these words, he had exhausted all his strength, and his clothes had been completely soaked with sweat.
All the efforts over the years have completely come to naught.
When Arnold decided to fight against the three super giants, the two sides had already ended up in a desperate situation. If they failed, they would become benevolent, and there was no room for any buffer.
At this stage, no wonder anyone can only blame the desire of the people.
The president, who was originally energetic, turned out to be several years old in just two days, and his temples turned white overnight.
It seemed to be just a wrong step, but it turned the whole situation upside down and the whole huge ship sank to the bottom of the sea.
Those aides around Arnold showed a sad look. If the president announced his initiative to leave office, none of these followers around would be better off.
Arnold sighed heavily. He lifted all his strength and patted his face. It seemed to be refreshing him.
It could have been famous in history, but it was gloomy to step down and had a bad reputation.
Moreover, next, what is waiting for Arnold is not idle life, but endless investigation, and may even be imprisoned for this.
No one wants to see this, but Arnold has no choice at the moment.
All roads lead to Rome, but he chose one of the narrowest and impassable dead ends.
At this time, the mobile phone of an aide rang.
After he connected, he looked at the number, and his face suddenly showed an unexpected and shocked look!
Because the owner of this call number is the first Secretary of the last president of the United States, dutius!
At this time, the great Secretary of the former president called, which was really very thought-provoking!
Dutius has been re elected president for two terms, with good political achievements and good reputation. Now he is not young, and has not appeared in the public eye for a long time. His life after retirement is not low-key.
Therefore, the aide wondered why the former Secretary of the president suddenly called his mobile phone?
In fact, if Arnold's cell phone had not been dropped by him, then now, this phone would have been called to Arnold himself.
At the thought of a legendary organization, the staff's mood suddenly became more nervous!
If you press the answer button, the result may be more serious!
"Whose phone?" Arnold saw the ugly face of his men and asked.
In fact, when he said this sentence, he already had the answer in his heart.
What's more, at this point, Arnold, who hit the bottom, has nothing he can't accept.
Life is so bad, can it be worse?
"Is the Secretary of former president dutius." The aide hesitated for a moment and wanted to say, "otherwise, we..."
However, before he finished speaking, Arnold said, "give me your cell phone. It must be for me."
There are some things that the American people have not heard of, but as president, Arnold's heart is naturally very clear that a super organization, which is often described as "secret and loose", is about to begin to play a role!
The name of this organization is -
- presidential alliance!
Of course, the president is not the only one who can join this organization. For example, Mike, a senior general, is also qualified to join.
If he can spend his term of office smoothly and his political achievements can be justified, Arnold may also be qualified to join this organization after he leaves the presidency and become the behind the scenes decision-maker who decides the future direction of the United States!
Yes, in the United States, this invisible organization has always existed, which is also to prevent the emergence of super dictators and to avoid pushing the whole country into the abyss!
When the president or the whole country is out of control, this seemingly loose organization will play a role!
If you don't make a move, it's amazing!
They won't ask about most things, but as long as they start asking about them, the result will inevitably be earth shattering!
Probably, whenever this organization meets irregularly, the president or some top officials will be dismissed, and even some wrong policies will be modified. It is impossible to disobey! It's no use moving the Congress out!
Because no one can resist the power of these people!
In this micro organization, just pulling out a person and stamping his feet can shock the American society three times, not to mention screwing them into a rope!
People outside the organization, including Arnold, don't know that there is a Chinese who also plays a decisive role in this organization.
This sounds a bit magical realism, but it is a real thing, and this person has not joined American nationality so far!
Took the phone, took a deep breath, and the phone was connected. Arnold said, "Hello, Mr. dutius."
There was a hard to hide fatigue and sadness in his voice, as if he had seen his gloomy ending.
Dusius on the other end of the phone also sighed gently and said, "I didn't expect that things would develop to this point. This is a scene that we all don't want to see."
The meaning of "we" in the mouth of dutius is too deep and broad, and even all the living presidents of the United States are included!
This word refers to all members of that micro organization!
That is the real peak of power in the United States!
Of course, it's lucky that they don't take action easily, otherwise, it will have a very far-reaching impact on the pattern of the whole world!
After hearing this, Arnold inevitably felt sad in his heart. He said, "I used to want to be one of you, but I took too big a step."
Dutius shook his head and said, "no, President Arnold, you didn't step too far, but from the beginning, your direction deviated... The farther you go, the more wrong you will be."
"I admit, you're right." Arnold was silent. "What are you going to do?"
Speaking of this, dutius' voice began to sink inexplicably: "the Pacific Fleet destroyed a submarine. I think the president should know this."
The submarine sank anyway!
Then, MOX must be dead!
Arnold really confirmed the news!
"I just learned that the submarine sank." Arnold shook his head and sighed softly, "I should have thought that this submarine is no secret in your eyes."
Dutius nodded and said, "that submarine disappeared after it was retired. It was nominally rebuilt."
However, for the flow of similar retired weapons, the management of the US Navy has always been extremely strict, and it is not difficult to investigate the whereabouts of this submarine. "
Arnold was silent for a moment, and now he felt a little facial pain.
In fact, all his self righteous good calculations were expected by others.
As for why the other party has not been exposed, maybe it's just that it's not time to tear his face at last.
"We gave you a chance. We hope that this submarine will never be used in our life. As long as the submarine doesn't move, we will always pretend not to know the existence of this submarine." "What a pity," said dutius
Unfortunately, the submarine finally moved.
If you don't know it, you'll be blown to pieces.
The second half of Theseus didn't say anything, and Arnold heard a moment of silence.
"Up to now, I have nothing to say. Arnold, you need to give an account to the public and the whole country."
"I will give you the answer you want." Arnold said, his eyes a little red, he fought for the position of president for half his life, but finally came to an end.
Arnold's psychological quality is relatively strong. If other people suffer such a huge blow, they may not even have the courage to live.
"Well, we expect you to give a reasonable answer." With that, dutius warned, "live well."
This is more like the advice of predecessors to future generations.
"I will live well." Arnold took a deep breath: "will you... Have a party tonight?"
The "you" in his mouth naturally refers to an organization that can determine the future of the United States.
Whenever major events happen, this organization will "gather". Of course, in the name of gathering, it will discuss the next national strategic direction.
"You're right." Dutius smiled, "we haven't had a party for a long time."
"Can I go and watch?" After thinking for a while, Arnold still asked.
Joining that organization and truly standing on the peak of power in the United States has always been Arnold's pursuit.
Now, when he is doomed to step down, he wants to be a spectator at this party - as a loser.
"Unfortunately, you can't stand by." Dutius rejected Arnold's proposal drily, and then said, "because you have been permanently disqualified."
Permanently disqualified!
"For this point, I have been mentally prepared, OK, OK." With a low voice, Arnold hung up the phone.
For him, life has been in chaos since then.
…………
Three hours later, Arnold held a press conference, admitted the problems of the staff team, and took the responsibility on himself.
This seems daring, but in fact it is the only choice.
Subsequently, Arnold announced his resignation.
The United States has rarely entered a state without a president.
Only the vice president can temporarily exercise power.
Of course, Arnold's departure means that the vice president can't work for long.
The FBI immediately announced the launch of an investigation into former president Arnold and his staff.
In this regard, the US Congress was silent, and no member of Parliament expressed his position externally.
At this time, Su infinite has stepped into an inconspicuous manor.
