Blackstone Code Chapter 1521: Change hands
Mr. President was as naughty as most children as a child. He liked to play with fire. Fortunately, he didn't wet the bed, otherwise it would be very difficult for him to become president.
Once he accidentally set his pants on fire, the moment of fear made him shudder, even though he eventually jumped into the pool to put out the fire on his pants.
Those fires didn't cause any substantial damage to him, but he was still shivering with fear and breaking out in cold sweat.
A deep-rooted fear!
Now, at this very moment, after one o'clock in the evening, the moment he answered the phone, a panic filled his body from the inside out.
The sweat is squeezed out of the pores in one fell swoop, and it's like magic!
It goes against the laws of nature, there is a big invisible hand clasping Mr. President, otherwise he would not be able to sweat so much all at once.
The voice on the phone continues.
"Mr. President, the Ministry of Defense's car is already at the door, please take the car immediately..."
Mr. President hung up for a few seconds before turning around and getting dressed.
His wife, the President's wife, just glanced at him, turned and went back to sleep.
She knew about Mr. President's cheating, but to her...it wasn't a big deal.
For people like them, whether it is spiritual or physical, from a certain point of view, it does not belong to themselves.
Mr. President took the car of the Ministry of National Defense and soon came to the strategic command headquarters. At this time, some generals had gathered here. When they saw the arrival of the President, they briefly said hello and began to explain the situation.
"At twelve forty-five, our patrol spotted a group of Marillos crossing the border and exchanged fire while driving them away."
"We effectively stopped them from going south, but more and more people joined..."
The major officer closed his mouth when he said this, and the rest can be guessed without thinking...
The configuration of the patrol team consisted of one armored vehicle and two patrol vehicles, all together with a total of about twenty people, equipped with three machine guns.
However, the patrol car's machine guns can't be used after winter, because they are outside the car, and in the cold weather, it is completely frozen.
If you want to use it, you have to heat it with hot water or fire.
The only thing that works is the armored car's machine gun, which is housed in the compartment.
Such a configuration does not pose much of a problem for small-scale firefights, but once it encounters a larger-scale attack, it is difficult to play any role.
If there are hundreds of enemies, or more, these vehicles can only be turned into a giant iron coffin!
After a few seconds, Mr. President asked, "So how did the patrol station get captured?"
After he finished asking the question, the other officers looked at each other and said nothing.
Actually, the patrol station is more fragile than Mr. President imagined. It is a concrete house. It was built to give the patrolmen who patrol the border a place to rest.
It's not really a fortification, and when there's a large number of enemies attacking, and it also has explosives, it's completely unable to resist a fight of this magnitude.
It didn't take long for some of the entrances to be blasted open. As for what happened next, everyone knew.
The silence of the officers made Mr. President realize that his question was unnecessary, and he frowned, "So gentlemen, what are your plans next?"
"I don't want people talking about it after dawn and laughing at us for not being able to figure out how to deal with it."
One of the major generals coughed lightly. He is the youngest general here, so naturally he is the one who speaks.
"Mr. President, we think...we think it's a war, and if we don't get rid of this intruder quickly, more people will soon learn from them."
"There are more than one million refugees on the border. If these people start to force their way south by armed means, it will cause terrible damage to the social stability of the Federation!"
"They have no basis for life in the Commonwealth, and they all carry weapons with them..."
Mr. President raised his hand and stopped him, "I know this, you just need to tell me what plan you have."
The major general looked at the other generals, then said in a deep voice, "We need your authorization."
When he said this, Mr. President realized what authorization he wanted!
War Empowerment!
In the Commonwealth, there are only two ways for the military to be dispatched.
The first way is to vote in Congress, and if more than 66 percent of the votes are in favor, the military can start military operations inside or outside the country.
The second way is presidential privilege. According to the federal charter, Mr. President has the privilege to directly mobilize the military to conduct military operations without going through Congress.
However, this also has a limit. Generally speaking, when the time span and intensity of military operations do not exceed a certain standard, Mr. President can make his own decisions.
If a criterion is exceeded, then Congress must step in and vote.
Guan Yin
This is a rule established to prevent the president from abusing his prerogatives and bringing danger to the country.
At this time, Mr. President's heart was surging and a little excited, because he knew very well that as long as he nodded, he would have a chance to be re-elected.
But...
He hesitates.
The generals of the military are all looking at him. To be honest, if this happens at this time, only the military can come forward.
What they said just now, destroying the stability and order of the federal society, is no joke!
Once these people go south, there will be more Marillos going south, and more and more.
Don't say anything about creating a federation in the international community. It is estimated that the war has really broken out, and the internal problems have not been cleared up.
Political matters, they leave it to the president, and they won't interfere.
At this time Mr. Trueman also got up, he did not come to the Ministry of Defense, he just sat in the room, smoking a cigarette.
Judging from the information he has received, there is basically no problem with his victory.
But if at this time Mr. President declares a state of war and mobilizes the military to suppress the border, he has a chance to be re-elected.
This is a power granted to him by the Charter, and no one can change it.
He didn't know what Mr. President would do, and his heart was far less calm than his calm expression.
He also seemed to feel that particular uncomfortable feeling, his heart was pounding, but he couldn't provide much strength to his body.
At 1:25, Lynch was awakened by the sharp phone ringing. He opened his eyes and looked at the dark ceiling. After the phone rang a few times, he got up to pick it up.
The call came at this time, and it rang several times and continued, meaning it was a call he had to answer.
In fact, when disturbing others in such a late night, if it is not necessary for the other party to know something, after three rings, the caller will put down the phone.
Not this time, it's important.
"Lynch, something has happened on our border with Marillo, can you provide us with military assistance now?"
Mr. President's voice, Lynch immediately got up, he put his shoulder against the receiver of the phone, while changing clothes.
"Sure, anytime, anywhere, can I know more details?"
Mr. President seems to sigh, "We have arranged the car, you have half an hour..."
When Mr. Trueman knew that Mr. President had finally left this matter to Blackstone to do it safely, he breathed a sigh of relief, and there was an inexplicable feeling of guilt in his heart.
He feels that he... thinks a little too much about Mr. President, and that has led him to make a decision at the same time to take care of Mr. President, his children and nephews and younger descendants.
Ten minutes later, the sergeant was awakened by a phone call, followed by the emergency assembly of the training camp...
From here to the northern border, it takes about two to three days by train, but don't forget that Lynch has an experimental model of a large transport aircraft.
It was these planes and those airborne troops that were used for airborne at that time, and there was also an airport in the north.
While mobilizing the Blackstone field team in Mariro to assemble to the border, he airlifted the company's employees towards the border...
Meanwhile, Rekatos has taken people across the border.
They lost some of their men when the fighting broke out, but they also managed to break through the blockade of the federal patrol.
The people who have actually experienced these battles, what they have experienced, are far more brutal than the reports that Mr. President heard!
A rescue had been requested before the patrol was wiped out, and several patrols arrived shortly after.
These patrols drove their cars from a distance and chased after them. The machine guns kept firing. These Marillos were like reaping wheat, falling one by one and never getting up again. The battle continued for more than forty minutes.
Their movement was so great that many of the Marillos ~IndoMTL.com~, who had no intention of joining, began rushing towards the border with weapons.
About three or four thousand people, they eventually crossed the border, they took out the patrol cars and armored vehicles, and also attacked the patrol station, and then continued south.
The joy in the hearts of these people at this time, and for people like Rekatos, is beyond words!
The federation is so big. With their abilities and means, they can gather a certain amount of wealth in a short period of time. When they change their identities, they can go to big cities to enjoy happiness!
The sky is gradually starting to light up, and there is one final level before the real freedom.
Every day there are refugees trying to smuggle into the Commonwealth, some of whom have been in for some distance and were caught by accident.
Those who do not resist will be thrown back to the border.
From the mouths of these people, everyone knows that there is a blockade behind the border!
Only after this final blockade can they be truly free!
