Hong Kong Comprehensive: Infernal Affairs undercover?I'm not a human anymore!

Chapter 416 "417" Difficult vote on Capitol Hill, hell on both sides!

Poseidon,
  At this point, the place has become a mess.

After the Bear Nation soldiers sent by the Giant God Group occupied this place, they could not control too many people because there were too many people, so many tourists took advantage of the chaos and fled.

but,

The soldiers of the Bear Country were not so foolish as to care about these tourists. Instead, they directly installed bombs everywhere, all of which could not be disassembled and discarded. Even if these tourists resisted, could they still crack the precision bombs of the Titan Group?

Among the tourists, there was a small improvised team.

Adventurous professional gambler John Dillane, former New York Mayor Robert Ramsey, daughter Jennifer, boyfriend Christian, single mother and her smart son Kona... (movie "Poseidon")
  Are escaping together.

"How to do?"

"It's the Titan Group!"

Everyone was panicked and anxious. After all, the Titan Group is not a small organization, and the terrorist incidents it has committed have made the whole world terrified.

"Is there any way we can save ourselves?"

"Defuse the bomb?"

"Escape from the ship?"

At this time, former New York Mayor Robert Lemsey stood up with determination.

"No, we can resist. There are 5000 people on our ship, and many of them must be brave and dare to resist. We can kill each other, defuse the bombs, and save the entire ship."

"Would this be too risky?" Others hesitated.

"Yes, the other party has a gun...and how to defuse the bomb? Do we have any professionals?"

Professional gambler John Dilan gritted his teeth at this time: "I think we can't just sit and wait for death. Let's fight!"

At this moment,
  The whole ship's broadcast began to sound:
  "Hello, passengers and staff of the Poseidon..."

"We are the Titan Group. We have kidnapped the Poseidon this time, not for money but for life. So please don't resist, otherwise don't blame us if you die."

"As we all know, our Titan Group is a very trustworthy organization and does not like to harm people's lives."

"This time, our mission is to control the ship for 2 hours."

"In the United States, we controlled 75 squid people and 5 scientists."

"We have told the top leaders of the United States through TV that they have to choose to give up one of the 5000 of you, 5 scientists, and 75 squid people within two hours!"

"If no choice is made within 2 hours, all three parties will die!"

"And if a choice is made, we execute the party chosen by Congress and free the other two!"

now,

The entire Poseidon, more than 5000 Chinese people, were all in a state of panic.

Some people cried in fear.

"I don't want to die, I don't want to die, I'm still young!"

Some people breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

"Don't panic, we'll be fine. There are 5000 of us, and they can't choose us no matter how they choose."

The broadcast continued: "At this moment, the national television stations of the United States are broadcasting the news that you are under our control. According to official practices, you will be 100% safe. They dare not give up on you."

"Also, don't think about resisting. We have installed 50 powerful bombs on the entire ship, which are difficult to disassemble. If one of us dies, a whole ship of you will die."

"Please believe in the credibility of our Titan Group!"

"Stay calm and don't resist. In 2 hours, you will regain your life and freedom!"

There are more than 5000 people on the Poseidon: "..."

Reputation?

It seems that the credibility of the Giant God Group is indeed good.

So, one by one, they began to lie down and no longer thought about resisting.

On Mayor Robert's side, everyone said: "..."

Just when I mustered up the courage to resist, this happened.

What a fool to resist!
  I choose to believe in the credibility of Jushen Group!
  ……

……

Here in the US,

"what?"

"There is a third party?!"

The expressions of the top executives in the United States changed drastically.

I originally thought that there were only two options: 75 squid people and 5 scientists, which would make it easier for American officials to respond.

And now, there is actually a third option, "5000 Americans on the giant cruise ship "Poseidon"", which makes the problem many times more complicated.

"Trouble!"

President Cotton quickly shouted: "Call the ship immediately to see what's going on!" Soon, the results came back.

The Poseidon was really captured and floating in the Atlantic Ocean.

At this time,
  The TV station began to broadcast the photos of the ship attached to the email sent by the Titan Group.

——New York Mayor Robert, pictured with the gangsters in the control room.

Afterwards, I got on the phone and talked to Robert about the situation on the Poseidon, and confirmed that the Poseidon had indeed been kidnapped.

……

at this time,

People all over the United States were in a panic because of this piece of news.

"Crazy! Really crazy!"

"It's so cruel. It's very difficult to choose which one. No matter what choice you make, someone will lose their life."

“Can we trust the government’s ability to make decisions during emergencies?”

"We cannot allow terrorists to succeed and should take all measures to protect people's lives."

"Tama, can you stop talking nonsense? All measures? What measures? False and empty! It's useless!"

"Haha, needless to say, I must choose the squid man."

"The scientist cannot die, and the cruise ship with 5000 people cannot die. The only person who can die without any impact on the United States is the squid man!"

"Yes, kill the Squidward!"

"Those people have taken up a lot of our wealth, but we can only struggle in poverty..."

It is human nature to hate the rich.

Squid people occupy too much wealth, which naturally makes countless poor American people angry. Especially now that the United States is in financial crisis, countless Americans are unemployed and laid off, and social conflicts have intensified. Even more people hate the squid people of the rich class.

There are also many Americans who angrily curse the culprit - the Titan Group.

"We can't fall into the trap, this Titan Group is the culprit!"

"This giant group has threatened the stability and tranquility of the entire society. We must take tough measures against this giant group or even eliminate them to maintain social peace and stability."

Citizens across the United States are currently discussing the various contradictions in morality, ethics, law and human nature. Some people advocate saving scientists first because they are valuable assets to society; some people advocate saving passengers because they are innocent and there are more of them.

And most citizens are more inclined to give up on the squid people!

Squid Man: "…………"

……

And here on Capitol Hill,

A fierce quarrel was in progress.

"I think we should prioritize the safety of the hostages, negotiate with the gangsters, and try to find a peaceful solution."

"I agree that the life safety of the hostages should be given priority, but we cannot show weakness and let the gangsters think that we have no power to fight back. We should take some measures to protect the safety of the hostages while also maintaining the dignity of the country."

"To shut up!"

"You stupid pigs, what you are saying is of no use!"

"What kind of peaceful solution? The Titan Group is here for us, how can we solve it peacefully?"

"Also, 'take some measures to protect the safety of the hostages?' What's the difference between this and nonsense? Can you do this?"

"Farke, is there something wrong with what I said? I'm considering the overall situation!"

"Think about it! There are still 2 hours left, don't say any false words, we need methods, methods, choices, choices!!"

Some excited congressmen pointed at each other's noses and spitted wildly.

Some members stood directly on the table, looked down and cursed each other, drowning them in saliva.

"Choose one of three? Do we have to choose?"

"Where is our fleet? Can we find the Poseidon quickly?"

"No, the Poseidon has turned off its satellite positioning and has now disappeared into the sea. Two hours is not enough time to choose."

At the top levels of Congress, lawmakers are facing unprecedented pressure to make a decision in just two hours.

Moreover, the problem now is that no member of Congress dares to directly say, ‘What will happen if we give up scientists/squid people/5000 ordinary Americans?’ Once such words are said, they will be exposed and their reputation will be ruined.

If you say you give up on scientists, you will be disgusted by all high-level intellectuals, academics, and education circles in the United States.

If you give up on Squid People, you will be hit by Squid Capital.

If you say you give up 5000 Americans, you will probably be sprayed to death by people all over the country in the future!
  Therefore, the discussion atmosphere at the scene became strange. Everyone slapped the table in anger, and everyone yelled, but they did not talk about the core, but were vain.

And time keeps passing by bit by bit.

At last,
  House Speaker Johnson pounded the table and made his decision: "In that case, let's vote! A secret ballot!"
