Chapter 614 A Heavy Loss

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Night fell.

It was already nine o'clock in the evening.

The weather in Federation City was humid and sultry. The arrival of the night did not bring any cooling to the capital city, but instead made people feel unusually oppressive.

The meteorological station has released news that a seven-day storm is expected. It will start tonight

Mid-October approached November, the last rainy season for the country to turn into a cold period.

Most of the lights in the White House had been extinguished, and under the cover of the night, it was solemn and gloomy.

In the President's office, the lights were bright. Yurisses stood in front of the window and looked at the flourishing lights outside. He narrowed his eyes, his eyes flashing with a thoughtful light.

For him, his future plans were already very clear.

Welcome the war, work with Atlas, and then win, bringing America to a more glorious height.

This was the path he had planned, and it could no longer be changed.

Yurisses was calm.

After suffering for many days, the pressure from the royal family and the Divine Continent Empire seemed to have begun to lessen after agreeing to Atlas's conditions.

Lin Xuanyuan's mad slaughter had brought the entire country to an extremely passive state. However, the United States was simply unable to stop it. This was an era when the experts of the United States had withered. Since proclaiming independence, the United States seemed to have never been so passive. This was a disgrace to the United States and a disgrace to Yurisses.

But now, all of this seemed to have passed.

Atlas was about to attack with all his might. Atlas Patriarch Earlaen, Adolf, Gaztu, and nine other X-class masters.

Such a luxurious lineup had completely made up for the lack of experts from the United States.

This was the first time Yurisses was so optimistic since the conflict with the Divine Empire.

From the perspective of the United States, the biggest headache for the United States right now was that it was very difficult to effectively target the X-class and World-shaking experts of the Imperial Clan and the Divine Continent Empire. Now that Atlas had taken the initiative to undertake this task, the war against the Divine Continent Empire would be fought with national and military strength.

In a war like this, the United States was the strongest country in the world, so it could be said to be full of confidence!

The lights outside the window were still shining.

Yurisses narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath. His eyes suddenly flashed with a burning desire to fight.

Suddenly, a knock sounded on the door.

"Please come in."

Yurisses said slowly, his tone dignified and calm.

The door to the office opened, and Joseph walked in with a tired expression, carrying a document.

"Still not resting?"

Joseph handed Yurisses a cigarette and asked as he sat on the sofa.

"Wait."

Yurisses smiled and said, "At this time, Josh should be coming soon. There are some things that we'd better finish talking about tonight."

Josh Morgan.

Only the Morgan Clan's Clan Chief, the President of the Skull and Bones Society, was worthy of the US President's silent waiting in his office.

Joseph was silent for a moment and shook his head. "You want to use the financial resources of the Skull and Bones Society to stir up public opinion and make it easier for Atlas's Patriarch to become a Marshal? With public opinion, a good plan. But have you really decided?"

"Do you have any other thoughts?"

Yurisses asked in surprise. Although Yurisses had made up his mind to make Atlas the only five-star general in the United States, it was Joseph who had first proposed it. But now, he regretted listening to the other party's words. Yurisses was also a little surprised.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Joseph seriously. "Do you regret it?" He said indifferently.

"No."

Joseph shook his head with a bitter smile. "I have no other intentions, but I always feel that this matter is very strange. We have no choice but to agree to their conditions. This is reality. I agree with this matter. But from the bottom of my heart, I am a little reluctant."

Yurisses fell silent.

He naturally understood Joseph's conflicted feelings. In fact, he was in exactly the same mood as Joseph, Everyone knew that putting Atlas's Patriarch in the five-star position was definitely not a good thing, The patriarch he had never met before, Not from the U.S. Army, Only relying on his strength to get to that position naturally could not be said to be loyal to the United States. All he had was ambition, putting an ambitious person in such a sensitive and important position. It was not too much to say that he was drinking poison to quench his thirst. But now, there was really no other choice. A single Lin Xuanyuan had tossed the United States into this state.

What would happen if the emperor went to the United States in the future?

Ye Liuli, Huangfu Lingxi, Li Xiangsi, Wang Jianghu, Gemini, Taurus, Archer, Law Enforcement Team, Consul, War Puppet...

In addition, the Divine Continent protectors of the Divine Continent Empire.

Yurisses felt his scalp go numb whenever he thought of it.

If Atlas refused to help, with America's current special forces, they would not be able to stop such a luxurious lineup.

There were only two choices to resist these people. The first was to prevent them from entering the United States.

This was practically impossible, unless the United States blocked all passageways into and out of the country and cleared all smuggling routes.

The second was to let all of these people in, and then, at all costs, as long as they were found, then no matter where they were, they would directly bombard them with missiles.

With the powerful military strength of the United States, using high-tech equipment to kill these world-shaking experts was not difficult. However, if such an act was really done, it was likely to destroy several cities in the United States. What was the difference between such a result and a defeat in the war?

As for sending an army to encircle and suppress them, it wasn't impossible, but they had to completely lock onto the enemy's whereabouts first.

Moreover, once the royal family and the Divine Continent Empire had all their experts and elites in and out, they would be a super elite army of over a thousand people.

Not to mention those X-class experts and World-shaking Sovereigns, just a super elite army of over a thousand people was enough to make the Military Army feel extremely miserable.

A group of five super elites, with more than a thousand people, consisted of more than 200 groups.

When these super elite troops appeared on the battlefield, they were simply killing machines. The price they had to pay to completely kill these people was also unbearable.

Only by cooperating with Atlas, soldier to soldier, general to general, king to king, this was the most reasonable way.

As for the future...

"It doesn't matter. The situation isn't as bad as you think. Even if you give them the rank of five-star general, it won't change the overall situation."

Yurisses said indifferently.

"I hope so."

Joseph said in a low voice, "When will Josh arrive? It won't be easy to convince him, to convince the Skull and Bones Society."

The corner of Yurisses's mouth twitched, his expression a little gloomy.

The relationship between the Skull and Bones Society and the U.S. Government has always been delicate, Even the president of the United States who walked out of the Skull and Bones Society, It's not entirely possible to stand on the side of the government or the Skull and Bones, The Skull and Bones Society is the God of Wealth of the entire United States, They manipulate elections with huge amounts of money, Controlling countless senators, Let their will flow unhindered throughout the United States, But at the same time, they were also the targets of the US authorities' defenses. This kind of cooperation and calculations could be said to be the most complicated game in the world. However, one thing was extremely obvious: the US government could not order the Skull and Bones Society, and it was very difficult for the Skull and Bones Society to completely control the US government.

Therefore, Yurisses wanted to convince the skeleton to contribute money to the Patriarch Atlas. One could imagine the difficulty of this matter.

As the real Giant Mac consortium of the United States, the Skull and Bones Society could be said to be standing at the pinnacle of the United States. It was an organization that could even be on par with the government. Now, Yurisses had to convince them to help a person who had nothing to do with them reach the pinnacle of power in the United States.

To some extent, Atlas's rise in the United States was tantamount to splitting the influence of the Skull Society in the United States.

It was almost impossible for the Skull and Bones Association to agree to such a thing.

Negotiation.

Negotiations.

Compromise n.

He could only compromise.

Yurisses felt uncontrollably aggrieved.

Asking Atlas to help, asking the skeleton to pay, even facing the bunch of bastards in Congress, he had to lower his voice.

Where is the president?

He was simply a grandson!

"It's not up to them! This is a war. As a member of the United States, they have the right to help the United States tide over its difficulties!"

Yurisses said coldly. His tone was irritable, but it carried a trace of lack of confidence.

Joseph's lips twitched. He had originally said that he wanted to stay, but when he saw Yurisses ' shining eyes, he still didn't say anything.

"I'll go back first. If you need anything, call me at any time. I'll be right over."

Joseph stood up and said.

He knew very well that Yurisses ' conversation with Josh was definitely an embarrassing scene that Yurisses did not want anyone to see.

Yurisses nodded and graciously walked back to his desk to sit down. He glanced at the documents in Joseph's hand and asked, "What is this?"

"This is …"

Joseph hesitated for a moment. He wanted to show it to Yurisses, but after thinking for a while, he said, "This is the document Mondley just gave me. The Treasury Department and the Census Bureau jointly calculated it. I suggest you look at it when you're in a better mood. You don't want to see it now, really."

Mondley Matt.

America's finance minister, one of the true core ministers.

No matter how difficult Yurisses ' situation was, Mondli was one of his trusted aides who had always followed in Yurisses ' footsteps.

Yurisses's face darkened. He had already guessed what the document in Joseph's hand was.

"Tell me."

Yurisses suppressed his anger and said calmly.

Joseph hesitated.

"Just how many people have been lost in the United States these past few days?"

Yurisses glanced at Joseph and asked.

Joseph smiled bitterly. He took a deep breath and said calmly, "In the past few days, not counting the ancient city that hasn't been counted, about 33,000 soldiers have died. There are 15,000 soldiers in Gotham, about 7,000 in Los Angeles and San Francisco, and the rest of the U.S. Troops have died in the midst of the Chinese uprising."

Thirty-three thousand soldiers! ! !

Yurisses's eyes darkened. Although he was already prepared and the number of people was not far from what he had expected, Yurisses's chest was still a little stuffy after hearing this news with his own ears.

In the entire Military System, there were only over a million Military Personnel.

In the past few days, he had actually lost more than 30,000 yuan? !

Moreover, these losses weren't all, and they were accompanied by pecuniary losses.

The pension after the sacrifice was one of the highest in the world. On average, one soldier had died. The government paid about $250,000 in pension, and the monthly allowance for the families of the sacrificed soldiers was also about $1,000.

Just this was already a loss of billions of dollars in bonuses and tens of billions of dollars.

"Where are the civilians?"

Yurisses asked in a deep voice.

"Civilians..."

The corners of Joseph's mouth twitched as fear and anger flickered in his eyes. "About 160,000 civilians died, 30,000 in Gotham, 10,000 in Los Angeles, 50,000 in San Francisco, and the rest died from Chinese violence!"

"Soldiers' pensions, government subsidies for civilian deaths, and daily allowances. If we add them up, we'll have to pay around $50 billion this time."

"Bang!"

Yurisses was completely enraged.

The desk in front of him was directly kicked over, and countless documents, computers, national flags, pens, and telephones fell to the ground in a mess.

Yurisses's face was flushed with an abnormal flush, as if he had lost his mind. He roared crazily, "This bunch of bastards!" Bastard! They should all go to hell! They will regret it, they will definitely regret it! I will make them pay! Let's go to war. Come on, the United States will definitely win! At that time, the American army would kill all the civilians in Nine Continents City, and the entire royal family would sink into the sea! Bastard! Bastard! ! "!"

Joseph was expressionless.

Before reporting these figures, he had already anticipated the current situation.

There was a knock on the door.

Hearing the commotion in the office, the secretary forced her way in and greeted Yurisses's almost cannibalistic gaze with a dry voice, "President, Mr. Josh is arriving soon."
