Chapter 644 Measure For Measure

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Three o'clock sharp.

Countless reporters punctually entered the ceremony.

The ceremony took place in the White House auditorium, Judging from the location alone, it was very meaningful. Normally, a five-star general's inauguration ceremony during the war would be held either in the Department of Defense or in the Capitol, in the auditorium of the White House, and a press conference would be held. From the beginning, Atlas and Yurisses seemed to have demonstrated their close relationship with each other to outsiders.

The auditorium was packed.

In addition to journalists and photographers from the major media and foreign media, senior members of the House of Representatives and the Senate also participated in the ceremony. The various commands had also sent sufficient representatives to participate in this ceremony. Right now, they were in Shangjiang Gate, where the United States had no urgent business to deal with. They had even personally come to witness the birth of the first five-star general of the United States after the war.

Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Army Chief of Staff, Cyber Command, Central Command, Director of the National Guard, Commander of the Strategic Command, Chief of Air Force Staff, Minister of Veterans Affairs, Commander of the Marine Corps...

To gather the stars.

Four-star generals from the Navy, Army, and Air Force were present personally.

The atmosphere was solemn and lively.

Soldiers and members of parliament sat in different areas and looked at the podium in the center of the auditorium with complicated expressions.

Everything on the podium is ready.

Flowers, microphones, red carpets, giant projections.

The five-star general's epaulette was placed at the center of the podium. It was small but dazzling. The huge projection enlarged the entire epaulette on the screen, making it look like a gimmick.

Almost everyone's eyes fell on the giant projection epaulet. One end of the epaulet was surrounded by five white star emblems, while the other end was surrounded by a spreading-winged eagle and the sun. It looked luxurious and dignified, as if they could feel the aura of power pounding towards them just by looking at this epaulet.

Power!

Representing the highest leadership of the U.S. Military.

The expressions of the general, the councilman, and the media were all different. Some had excited expressions, some had jealous expressions, some had cold eyes, and some had mocking smiles.

Today, Even if the inauguration ceremony is unchangeable, But there are still many powerful factions in the United States who oppose Atlas's arrival, Someone objected, There was also support, In a very short period of time, Earlaen Atlas has the full support of American hawks, Commander of the Military Central Command, The hawk leader, Admiral Roderick Lecton, personally waved the flag for Atlas, Such a move, This caused some opposition parties to feel uneasy, The opposition was definitely not small, and most of them were against Yurisses. Several presidential candidates even joined forces to denounce Atlas. Especially after the ceremony was set in the White House auditorium, the opposition of several powerful American figures who wanted to run for the presidency became more and more obvious.

They had to admit that Yurisses ' decision to let the Atlas family enter the United States was a good move. His presidency was already in a state of upheaval, and the reason why he did not step down was purely because of the war.

The current situation was simply too chaotic, Candidates were not confident or courageous enough to turn the tide and end this mess. In this situation, even if Yurisses was pushed away from power, they would still face the danger of stepping down if the situation was not handled properly. Therefore, for the time being, none of the powerful figures were willing to fight for the presidency. They could only temporarily put Yurisses in front of the stage to endure the pressure.

They even planned to turn Yurisses into a puppet step by step, and they did so.

Yurisses remained silent a while ago, allowing the power in his hands to be lost. However, no one expected that he would take this opportunity to bring in the Atlas Clan and give the Clan's Clan Chief the position of five-star general.

A lot of people saw Atlas's ambitions, they may not think Atlas' and Yurisses ' honeymoons will last long, But at the very least, Earlaen had just stepped onto the stage, I'm sure we need Yurisses ' support, Yurisses , who was in a precarious position, but also military power through Earlaen e, No one could say how long this honeymoon period was, but there was no doubt that Yurisses ' position would be as stable as Mount Tai as long as it was during this honeymoon period. It was even because some media had portrayed Atlas as the savior of the United States. As a result, Yurisses would face much less pressure and doubt from the outside world.

It was no exaggeration to say that Atlas had entered the United States. It could be said that Yurisses had used the power of the President to suppress the passage of the entire United States. It could also be said that it was a helpless move by the entire United States.

Yurisses borrowed Lin Xuanyuan's crazy destructive power to promote public opinion throughout the country. No matter how powerful the opposition was, they could only watch the ceremony with their noses pinched because they could not find any experts who could contend against the royal family.

Therefore, the eyes of the generals and councillors in the auditorium were filled with meaning.

They all knew that today's ceremony was just the beginning. The future of the United States, especially the military, would definitely be exceptionally lively.

...

In the auditorium lounge.

Yurisses put down the documents in his hand, looked at his watch, and said with a smile, "It's about to start."

"Yeah, it's about to start."

Earlaen Atlas nodded calmly. He was about to ascend to the position of Marshal of the military. He had sacrificed so many lives and sacrificed so much. Only the lives of X-class experts numbered more than ten. However, at this moment, Earlaen's heart was exceptionally calm.

Calm, firm, cold.

Atlas had sacrificed too much for the United States, but it was all worth it. One day, Atlas would take back everything he had sacrificed, ten times more than a hundred times more. Furthermore, he would take it back very quickly. It wouldn't be too long before that happened.

The most crucial step had already been taken, and everything that followed could be implemented.

"St. Mary's Hospital..."

Yurisses smiled and frowned, his tone a little worried.

Although today's ceremony was a top priority for the United States, those who could clearly see the situation would not look at the ceremony that had already become a foregone conclusion.

The war at St. Mary's Hospital was the most important.

"It's fine."

Earlaen shook his head and paused for a moment before continuing, "There's no problem holding on for two hours. I'll be there immediately after the ceremony."

Yurisses nodded slightly and said no more.

The door to the lounge was suddenly pushed open.

Vice President Joseph stood at the door, looked at Yurisses, and said, "Mr. President, there's something I think you should know."

"Alright."

Yurisses nodded at Earlaen and walked out of the lounge.

The two entered the next room one behind the other and closed the door. Yurisses took out a cigarette to light it and said in a low voice, "What happened?"

"Mr. President, I just received news that Director Rott Bruce was attacked. He has been killed. His villa was directly blown up. We found the bodies of three members of his family in the ruins. Rott Bruce and his daughter Alice were shot dead."

Joseph said solemnly. As he spoke, he stared straight at Yurisses's expression.

"Who did it?!"

A look of astonishment flashed in Yurisses's eyes. He raised his eyebrows and said angrily, "Rotter Bruce is the deputy director of the FBI. I just sent him on a mission. Who killed him?! Bastard! Everyone from the royal family is at St. Mary's Hospital. Who did this?!"

Joseph didn't see anything. He frowned slightly and slowly said, "I'm not sure yet, but it's very likely that it's revenge from the royal family. I'll follow up this matter and investigate further."

Yurisses heavily gasped for breath. He gritted his teeth and nodded, "Yes, we must investigate it clearly. It's too much. In this way, after the ceremony is over, you can investigate this matter with all your might. I want to give you an explanation."

"Alright."

Joseph nodded. Before he could continue, the phone rang again.

He took out his phone and looked at it. He shook his head and said, "It's my lover."

Yurisses smiled and waved his hand.

Joseph walked out of the room with the phone in his hand and whispered these words into the distance.

In the room, Yurisses stood quietly, but his eyes landed on the wall in front of him.

Through the wall, he could see that Earlaen was still sitting on the sofa, silent and calm.

The elegance of a peerless expert?

Yurisses ' lips curled into a cold smile, muttering to himself, "Dog bite dog, I like it best."

At the same time.

In the lounge next door.

Cato strode in.

He looked at Earlaen, who was sitting motionlessly on the sofa. He took a deep breath and whispered, "Father, more than ten minutes ago, there was chaos in St. Mary's Hospital. The enemy used grenades, smoke bombs, and fog bombs. Hundreds of death squads successfully messed up the situation."

He stopped and looked at his father's suddenly raised eyebrows. He continued, "About seven minutes ago, Lin Xuanyuan appeared."

"Right now, they are attacking St. Mary's Hospital. The American troops stationed inside the hospital suffered heavy casualties. 15,000 people, and now they have lost almost one-third of their strength. An Nai just called me. He said that Lin Xuanyuan's condition is very strange, and he is worried that he won't be able to hold on any longer."

"Trash!"

Earlaen harrumphed coldly, displeased.

Cato lowered his head and hesitated, "Father, am I going to St. Mary's Hospital now?"

"No need."

Earlaen shook his head and sneered, "I don't believe that so many people can't withstand Lin Xuanyuan's attack for two hours? One-third of his manpower is lost? Then continue to mobilize people and inform Adolf to press all the special forces in Federation City to support St. Mary's Hospital. At the same time, let our people endure for a while and exhaust Lin Xuanyuan's strength first."

"Understood."

Cato nodded solemnly.

"What else?"

Earlaen asked softly.

He had always been very satisfied with this son. Atlas's Patriarch might not necessarily be wise, but he had to be an absolute expert.

Gaztu was less than thirty years old and had unlimited potential to enter the World-shaking Realm of Autarchs. In Earlaen 's eyes, he had every chance of reaching his current height before forty. When he succeeded, he would be extremely safe.

At that time, the kingdom beneath his feet might already be the Atlas Dynasty.

The overlord of the world, the Atlas Dynasty!

Earlaen's eyes were burning and absent-minded.

"It's about the Divine Continent Empire."

"I received news that half an hour ago, the Central Plenary Meeting of the Divine Continent Empire had already begun. Lin Qingtian delivered the opening speech on behalf of the Divine Continent Empire. Their first topic today was personnel changes."

The personnel adjustment of the Divine Continent Empire!

Earlaen's eyes narrowed.

According to some information gathered in the United States, Divine Continent Empire did not have too many sensitive personnel adjustments at this year's plenary session. Basically, it was an adjustment that could reach a new balance before. There were quite a few people, but it was not high in terms of sensitivity. The advancement and withdrawal of some central committee members, and the appointment of new central committee members and alternate members were something that happened every year, and this year was naturally no exception.

Something's wrong...

At this year's Central Plenary Session of the Divine Continent Empire, there was still a major event in personnel restructuring.

Adjustment of the army!

Whether Ye Nianlun could be elected as the first deputy minister of the Military Ministry was a key signal for him to succeed next year.

What does it mean that this election, which should have been the final one, has suddenly been taken out at the very beginning?

"The position at the military headquarters?"

Earlaen asked.

Cato nodded without saying anything else.

"How was the election?"

Earlaen's expression gradually became serious.

"At the beginning, we haven't received any news yet. Their plenary meeting, especially this adjustment, is similarly open to the media throughout the country and the world."

Cato said softly.

"Then it seems that Ye Nianlun 's matter is settled."

Earlaen nodded. Faced with this adjustment, if Ye Nianlun could not be elected as the first deputy head of the military, the entire Divine Continent Empire would immediately start a political storm, and Ye Nianlun 's prestige would also suffer a fatal blow.

Now that the war was imminent, neither the southwest faction nor the royal faction would allow such a thing to happen.

Moreover, in the current situation, identifying a successor earlier would also help to inspire and stabilize the morale of the army.

Also, the Divine Continent Empire chose to publicize this personnel change at this time. Without a doubt, it was for the honor ceremony of the United States.

"What a tit-for-tat confrontation."

Earlaen sneered and narrowed his eyes.
