Yurisses eventually attended the meeting.
In the apartment, Elvin's words were very clear. Regardless of whether Dabinett and Hoventon were qualified to convene a high-level meeting in the United States, at least in reality, other than Yurisses, no one else questioned their qualifications.
Seniors in both houses of Congress, generals in the military, high-ranking officials in the government, and judges seem to have all tacitly acknowledged this fact.
The meeting was held as scheduled.
Video links will also be made to those who are available and those who are not.
Yurisses could not stop the meeting. All he could decide was whether he would attend or not.
He had to participate.
Although he had already sensed the malice behind the meeting, if it meant avoiding it, it was undoubtedly the stupidest choice.
If he chose to escape, the outcome of today's meeting would be unchangeable. At that time, whether it was Dabinett or Hawington, it could be said that this was a collective decision.
Yurisses did not know what the outcome of the meeting would be, but even if he thought about it with his knees, he could understand that this outcome was definitely not good news for him.
Yurisses still had his own team in the high-level meeting of the United States, so no matter what, he could still get some support for attending the meeting at this time.
Next, it was up to Dabinett and Howington to decide what cards to play.
Yurisses was in a mess. He wanted to organize his thoughts, but he had no clue.
Until now, he wasn't sure if Elvin's words about removing the president were true or false. Reason told him that it was not a good thing for anyone to step down at this time, but who knew what Dabinett was thinking?
If he really ignored the imminent risks and wanted to ascend to the throne, Yurisses would not be able to stop him right now.
As he was worried about the gains and losses, Yurisses casually glanced at Joseph beside him.
Compared to Yurisses's uneasy state of mind, His Excellency the Vice President was completely calm and relaxed. His body was completely relaxed and leaned against the seat behind him. He opened the window and looked at the scenery outside. He was leisurely holding a cigar in his hand, and he could not see the slightest bit of nervousness.
"Old friend, what are you thinking?"
Yurisses couldn't help but ask.
Joseph was an old friend who had followed him for many years. He was loyal and loyal. When mentioning Yurisses, Joseph was an unavoidable figure. His loyalty was not only visible in the United States, but also in the whole world.
Yurisses was completely convinced that if he were to step down, Joseph would definitely not have a good ending. Perhaps he would not be guilty to death, but at the very least, he would lose his position as Vice President and become a real, ordinary person who no longer had any influence in the United States.
Unlike normal retirement successions, how many good outcomes can officials who fall in political battles and strife have? Even if they didn't die, most of them would still be imprisoned. Those who barely maintained their freedom status would definitely be suppressed by their old opponents. Politics was the art of putting on the wings of dreams, and ugliness was the dirtiest and cruelest thing in the world.
So at this moment, Joseph calmly surprised Yurisses and made him feel even more uneasy.
"I didn't think of anything."
Joseph took a sip of his cigar and chuckled softly.
"Nothing?!"
Yurisses subconsciously raised his voice in disbelief.
"We should have been prepared for this long ago, right?"
Joseph smiled calmly and said, "At least I'm ready. There are some things that we can't control at all. Since that's the case, why should we think about it? Do as we please."
Yurisses smiled bitterly. He didn't know what to say. He leaned against the seat behind him and let out a long sigh. After a long silence, he said firmly, "No matter what, I won't give up!"
Joseph smiled indifferently. After decades of friendship, Naturally, it did not begin with their positions as President and Vice-President, From young to present age, Yurisses always had a character that he would not admit defeat even if he was at the end of his tether. No matter how dangerous the situation was, he would still struggle with his life. Joseph's character was softer, and he was more at ease. So in the end, Yurisses became the president and Joseph was the deputy.
He admired Yurisses's temperament, which he had always fought against.
But in the current situation, it was just a struggle. Was it really useful?
The president's car stopped at the gates of the Gucheng police station.
The heavily guarded police station was completely empty in Yurisses's eyes.
Apart from the three-step, five-step, and one sentinel soldiers, none of the higher-ups who were supposed to have come out to welcome the president had seen them.
Another naked slap on the face.
Both Dabinett and Horvington seemed to want to trample Yurisses to death under their feet today.
Yurisses's facial muscles twitched uncontrollably, and a fiery hatred flashed through his eyes.
He pushed open the car door and strode into the police station with Joseph, expressionless as he struggled to maintain his prestige as President of the United States.
The meeting was held in a large conference room at the police station, The meeting room normally used for police meetings was large enough to accommodate hundreds of seats, but it lacked the dignified atmosphere of the White House Auditorium or the Capitol. However, now was clearly not the time to pursue this matter. After the City Hall collapsed, the police station had become the most suitable place for the upper echelons of the ancient city to stay.
When Yurisses walked into the conference room expressionlessly, the huge conference room instantly quieted down.
Afterwards, the high-ranking leaders of the United States acted as if they didn't see this person, continuing to chat and talk to each other on their own.
Dabinett was chatting and laughing with Admiral Devon. Admiral Dabinett was one of the deputy secretaries of the Pentagon. His job was to assist the Secretary of Defense in perfecting theater planning, setting operational goals and tasks, and completing the command and control of war operations. He could be said to be one of the top leaders of the Pentagon.
For Dabinett, whose influence in the military is not too strong, if Admiral Devon could join his camp, it would be a strong support for his control of the military's voice.
Of course, these are not the most important.
Most importantly and most unpleasant to Yurisses was that Admiral Devon Smith had always been his Yurisses for the past few years!
This was the backbone of the Yurisses Group.
But now, he was standing with Dabinett very affectionately.
Yurisses had heard Joseph mention that Dabinett had taken a large number of generals, including Admiral Devon, with him when Federation City was about to be destroyed.
Yurisses had already anticipated the defection of some generals from the Ministry of Defense, but he never expected that Admiral Devon would fall so quickly.
From the flickering eyes of the general, it could be judged that the opponent had most likely completely changed his stance, changing from a confidant to an enemy.
Yurisses felt a burst of tightness in his chest as he struggled to move. Then, he saw Governor Howington, who was standing beside Earlaen , chatting and laughing.
This scene caused Yurisses ' heart to tremble even more than Devon and Dabinett.
He knew what was going on.
In the final moments of the war at St. Mary's Hospital, Yurisses ordered the elite missile regiment of the Barrier Armored Legion to bomb the Brave Infantry Division.
The Braveheart Infantry Division's group was led by Howington, At the beginning of the missile bombardment, Earlaen knelt down to Yurisses in order to save the Brave Infantry Division. This naturally earned Hoventon's gratitude and gave them the opportunity to communicate. Now that the two of them were standing together in harmony, the first contact between the two of them looked pretty good.
Yurisses suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and continued to sweep his gaze through the meeting room.
The conference room was filled with high-ranking figures from the United States. Judges, councillors, and the lowest ranked lieutenant general were all in the meeting room. At the very least, the lowest ranked lieutenant governors in the government were all lieutenant governors.
Dozens of LCD screens were lined up in the conference room. Some of the figures of the upper echelons of the U.S. Government who didn't have enough time to arrive at the ancient city appeared on the screen, and many people in the conference room were chatting with them on the screen.
Only a few people saw Yurisses walking towards him.
Other figures on the screen also stood up respectfully after seeing Yurisses . This was the entire crew of Yurisses now.
"Mr. President."
The first person to approach Yurisses was a middle-aged man dressed in a suit and shoes. His face was filled with unconcealable anxiety. The first thing he said when he came to Yurisses was, "Things don't look too good."
"Huh?"
Yurisses forced a smile to his lips, making him look less panicked. "How can it not be optimistic? Are they really going to impeach and dismiss me?"
"The current situation looks like this."
The middle-aged man forced a smile and said, "Congressman Dabinett personally suggested that you are no longer fit to be president of the United States. He said that the United States does not need a completely crazy person to lead."
"Then what do you think? Juventus?"
Yurisses asked with a smile.
Juventus Ero.
Governor of Pennsylvania, USA.
Ancient City was located in the southeast of Pennsylvania.
Juventus's governor, who was a top official promoted by Yurisses alone, remains firm.
"I have always remembered Mr. President's contribution to the United States. The current defeat is just that the enemy is too cunning. Sooner or later, victory will belong to us."
Juventus replied without hesitation, their eyes firm and sincere.
"Thank you for your trust."
Yurisses patted Juventus on the shoulder and said calmly.
"Then today..."
Juventus hesitated for a moment before finally being unable to restrain themselves and carefully probed.
Yurisses ' expression suddenly stiffened. Just as he didn't know what to say, a deep and gentle voice sounded beside them.
"Today? All of this today is just a farce at best. Governor Juventus, please believe that Mr. President will be fine. I can guarantee that."
Earlaen, who was standing beside Huo Wenton, smiled confidently.
Farce?
Yurisses looked at the confident Earlaen and his heart suddenly calmed down.
Today's matter may not be that simple, but no matter what, with Earlaen 's words, his presidency would at least not be seriously threatened.
His remaining squad and the hawkish group behind Atlas were his greatest reliance.
From the looks of it.
The two were still reliable.
