Chapter 492 terrorist attack (1) on the afternoon of the 15th, it was a sunny afternoon
In his two suits, the leader of the senate The gop, mitch, strode down from the car, accompanied by two assistants
Capitol hill is the office building of the united states congress, located in the center of washington at an altitude of 83 feet, laid the foundation for it by washington himself
To say that it was a mountain, no matter from afar or near, what people saw was only a slope
Perhaps the senators needed a more imposing name
Mickey broke through the crowd of reporters
The total number of senators was only 100
Compared to the nearly 500 members of the house of representatives, the senators had higher exposure
As the leader of the The gop, they were even more popular with the media
Many of the political media, in the absence of an election, relied on Capitol hill to mingle with the white house
Hoping to catch another intern''s love story
According to the constitution, the "Chairman" of the senate shall be the vice president, but unless the vote is tied, there is no right to vote
This meant that in the senate, the leaders of both parties became the actual speaker, so mickey
Mcconnell became the most powerful person in the power circle in washington
To some extent, the president was just a passerby from washington
They stayed here for four or eight years, then never heard from them, but the senators were different
However, the americans also knew that when a certain senator was marked as a member of the washington circle, he was marked as" not president
" Mcconnell had long lost the possibility of becoming president, so he did not pursue it
Watching as he left the media, he joked with his assistant," I''m going to give an eight-hour speech today, and then let their bill go to hell
" Both assistants laughed
Mickey was in his 60s, and the muscles on his chin were about to lose the weight of the fat, falling like chicken gizzards on his neck, but he was still loud and energetic, promising to speak for eight hours
This was also the difference between the senators and the house of representatives
In theory, the senators could make speeches without restriction
They could not finish today, or even continue tomorrow
Although other senators had the right to vote to terminate, unless the situation was urgent, They rarely used such power on senior senators like Mcconnell
If the house of representatives was different, they were required to complete the bill''s vote within a limited period of time, including the speech time, so although the number of members of the house of representatives was several times larger than the senate, the vote was faster than the senate
The country''s most powerful people could be seen on the long staircase
The senate was on the north wing of Capitol hill, and many people greeted mickey on the way
He waved in a friendly manner, perhaps the most peaceful area on the surface of the united states
A postman stumbled over from behind
The vest was a little dirty, and the smell of dirt swept past mickey
Mcconnell frowned and said," they should tidy up the mailmen here
" The assistants all laughed and didn''t take it seriously
In Capitol hill, the most common is the postman, and the busiest is that most of the time, the assistants pass documents to each other for the members of parliament, but once it involves areas outside Capitol hill, the postman becomes very useful
Every member of the house and senate, in theory, represented the people of their district, so they received a large number of letters from the district every day, and a diligent member of parliament would at least sign some of the emails processed by his assistants
Of course, Capitol hill had strict and less stringent censorship procedures, and within a year, only two unknown armed men were allowed in, just two
So Rachel walked in easily
There was fear in his eyes
His eyelids were blinking, trying to tell someone something
But no one noticed him, because under the control of the river''s energy, all of Mr
Rachel''s nerves except his eyes were taken over by the base - a simple way, just one step ahead of modern technology
Rachel did not know what this plane''s" traveler" wanted to do, but he knew in his heart that it must be a very bad thing, especially when he entered Capitol hill, the uneasiness in his heart grew deeper and deeper
Rachel would rather have someone rush out and shoot himself
However, no security guard would care
They followed the normal procedures to check his documents and belongings, and then simply let him go
Rachel cursed a bunch of idiots in his heart, although he also knew that those security guards would not stop a postman with full documents and normal items
Mickey followed behind Rachel, shaking his head as he watched him knock someone down
By the time he entered the senate chamber, it was less than 20 minutes before the issue began
" Sorry, I''m a little late
" Mickey smiled at the conservative senator on the right
" I''m ready to make a long, long speech
"" If you need a breath, I''ll be behind you
" Haocaben also objected to today''s proposal
" We can''t allow the department of justice to file a complaint against opec members in american courts
What if the other party does the same thing and even stops oil supply
I hate new liberals
"" Oh, don''t be heard by Alan, and people love this bill
" Mickey shrugged
" The americans don''t think it''s fair
Opec shouldn''t sit back and enjoy wealth
"" The senators should be more judgmental, and the white house will definitely reject this proposal
They won''t get two-thirds of the votes," haocaben said hatefully
The constitution of the united states stipulates that the president has the right to veto the senate bill, but the senate can also use two-thirds of the votes to veto the president''s veto again, thereby directly passing the bill
Mickey shook his head and was about to say something when he saw the postman who had just arrived barging in
There''s no media here
Mickey was so angry that he pointed at the door and said," hey, buddy, you''re at the wrong door
"" The united states senate
" The words Rachel read were strange
" Sir, you should leave
"" Guard, send him out
"" Oh, you can''t
" Rachel could not help but lift his clothes
Inside, there were two thick rows of homemade explosives, with metal detonators embedded in them
In the united states, any explosives produced by an arms company, They were all required by the government to add a special substance
To identify the origin and manufacturer of the explosives, during the period after 9 / 11, The policy had a good effect
The government is pushing it to a wider range of raw materials
When Huang Xuan purchased these ingredients from Rafael''s computer, he specifically selected two of the monitored ingredients, with very little dosage and very little attention
But according to Mr
Laden, the cia''s methods of investigation are not bad, as long as they are willing, there is no need to worry about the slightest escape from surveillance
Like the american bill
There are always people who can easily obtain explosives, such as abu shayev
Although they have no power in the united states, they are a good middleman and can also be traced by the Cia
Rachel lost control of his throat and shouted in a loud voice," these explosives can destroy everyone
Once the button in my hand is released, or my heart stops beating, the explosives will explode and all the senators will come over
" As he said this, Rachel wished he could control his breathing and suffocate himself to death
He had already guessed what the traveler wanted to do
But he had no chance
Standing in the base, like hundreds of terrorists, he watched the big screen
The difference was that he had a microphone in his hand
A group of scary leaders looked at Huang Xuan with envy, and miraculously looked at him" fuck" Rachel and said: "I want to sue you, the people who control the united states, as members of the'' justice and truth'' church, we will do whatever it takes to destroy you, the people who are trying to destroy the world, I promise
" Rachel said, pointing at everyone and saying," you guys, split up into two parts, whatever you want
Stay away from the window, guard, close the door, pull down the curtains
Oh, leave one
I want everyone to see me
No one should try to escape
If the bomb explodes, the whole building will be destroyed
Of course, he was lying
The homemade bomb could only blow up half the conference room
He was just deliberately delaying it, giving the media plenty of time to prepare for it
Unlike 911, when it suddenly happened, the americans had no reaction and were led to the battlefield by Bush - they regretted it now, it was too late
" Do as he says
" Mickey calmed down at this time
He was a vietnam veteran, about the same age as Mccain
Of course, in terms of the merits of the vietnam war, he seemed to be a little worse than Mccain
With a smile, he put down the microphone and said," the next step is the proper way for kidnappers and hostages
Which one of you is familiar with this
" Jian Galani walked over and said," give it to me
I''ve kidnapped more foreigners than I''ve fucking girls
"" Oh, we are civilized people
Don''t be so vulgar
" Huang xuan handed the microphone to Jian Galani and said," xiao he, three seconds delay
" Jian Galani, the kidnapper, picked up the baton
Zawa Holly asked," when do you want to detonate the bomb
You''ll get us all involved
" He spread out his hands and said," you guys are already involved
I''m not going to blow up all the senators
I should have left at least a third of them
Maybe half of them is better
How many senators are coming to work now
"" There are 69 in the room
" Xiao he counted the heads and said," there are still three guards and 17 assistants left
The vice president is not here
"" Sounds good
Let the media know, worldwide
" Huang Xuan laughed
