Chapter 51 Support and Trial

'What do you mean by me defending the White House heroically? Did I enter some parallel universe where I am a good person after sleeping? 'John looked at the reporter's explanation in confusion.

On the TV, a female reporter spoke passionately: "Last night, a group of thugs stormed the White House and used weapons of mass destruction, killing 21 people and injuring [-] people. Among them, the Secretary of State was also on the death list."

"At the same time, according to the investigation, before attacking the White House, these thugs also destroyed the Statue of Liberty as a demonstration. The following is the scene."

As he said that, the TV showed live photos of the White House. The originally collapsed Statue of Liberty had disappeared, leaving only a dilapidated presidential building and an environment that looked like a tornado.

'This... I typed it out. 'John was a little unconfident because of the television.

He pressed the remote control and prepared to change the channel, but after changing several channels in succession, he was overwhelmed by the contents.

"The people of the motherland bravely fight against the devil and stand up to protect the citizens of New York"

"The President said we should vigorously learn from the spirit of the motherland"

"Inspirational life, hardworking life, amazing people of the motherland"

……

'Where is this going? Is this what Gu Yi said last night to enjoy it? '

John looked at the headlines in the news that praised him as if he were a sage and a great man, and he just felt ridiculous from beginning to end.

Just when John was confused, his doorbell rang.

With doubts, he picked up the uniform beside him. After the suit was put on automatically, he walked downstairs and opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, the crowd outside saw John coming out, and their cheers intensified in vain.

Standing at the door was a man in his 50s who smiled and extended his hand to him: "Good morning, my motherland. How did you sleep last night?"

'Uh...' John looked at the man and recognized him on the spot. Wasn't this guy the vice president in the White House last night?

John stretched out his hand and shook the other person's hand. After taking his hand back, he asked, "What are you doing? Are these people outside your invitation?"

"These people all support you sincerely, but fans don't necessarily have to fully understand idols, right?"

"There are cameras outside broadcasting the whole thing live. Just relax and enjoy it." Rodriguez winked at John, then waved his hand gently, and someone handed him a microphone.

Rodriguez took the microphone and shouted to the crowd: "Please calm down first, I am going to announce something important next."

Soon, the noisy crowd gradually calmed down, and then Rodriguez announced with a smile: "In view of the significant contribution of the people of the motherland in protecting New York yesterday and the diligent performance that has been obvious to all in the past few months."

"After a unanimous vote by the President and Congress, it was decided to specially award the 'Medal of Honor' to the native of the motherland in recognition of his extraordinary achievements."

As he spoke, he took out a medal from the box beside him, showed it to everyone, and then looked at John.

Seeing that John didn't express anything, Rodriguez nervously handed the medal to John, hoping in his heart that John would accept it cooperatively.

Looking at the box that was handed over, John took it as if he was playing with the other person.However, he did not wear it around his neck like those who had received the Medal of Honor before. Instead, he took off the strap, pinned the medal directly on his chest, and then smiled and waved to the crowd outside.

As he put on the medal, the originally calm atmosphere suddenly became noisy, and huge cheers immediately flooded the entire street.

Seeing that John was willing to accept the medal, Rodriguez was secretly relieved. At least the people of his motherland were willing to cooperate with him, and the biggest difficulty was over.

"So, Mr. John, can you allow me to visit your house personally? I'm still very curious about superhero homes." Rodriguez asked with a smile.

Wanting to find out what kind of medicine the other party was selling, John did not refuse, but stepped aside to let the other party come in.

After the vice president entered the house, John closed the door and asked directly: "Tell me, what did you guys do after leaving last night?"

"I just don't want people outside to misunderstand you. All negative news about you in the United States is not allowed to be published." Rodriguez said in a humble tone.

"Hmph, you guys have a lot on your mind." Listening to the praise outside the door, John, who was originally prepared to be the enemy of the whole world, was in a good mood at the moment.

"General Ross's ruling will be held at two o'clock at noon. Please go there on time." Rodriguez smiled: "I will have a little personal discretion at that time, but I am not ready yet. Please stay tuned.”

"What's in your mind? What else have you prepared?" John asked with his hands behind his back.

"Please allow me to give up a little. Once General Ross is executed at noon, everything will be ready." Rodriguez said confidently: "I guarantee with my life that you will definitely be satisfied by then."

'Life guarantee is quite courageous. ' John stared at the other person and said directly: "Tell me, what do you want from me?"

"In the process of serving you, I have received sufficient remuneration from Congress, what more do I need from you?"

Seeing the vice president who was so aware of current affairs, John had no intention of getting angry and was already looking forward to the so-called gift.

……

At the same time, in an elegantly decorated villa in New York, an old man with a white beard was wearing bandages all over his body and groaning in pain on the bed.

'Damn it, that masked guy yesterday came in without saying a word and broke at least eight ribs with his first move. I swear, don't let me know who that guy is. ' Ross said fiercely in his heart.

But before he could continue to say harsh words, the door of the villa was kicked open, and a group of people rushed in. Ignoring the obstruction of the surrounding servants, they began to collect the accessories in the villa by category.

"What are you doing? Do you know who I am? This is my private villa." Ross' already bad mood got even worse, blowing his beard and glaring.

But soon, a man walked up to him, showed his ID and relevant documents and said: "Thaddeus E. Ross, you have violated many American laws, including but not limited to endangering national security, violating human experiments, and unauthorized You are now officially under arrest for multiple crimes including using weapons of mass destruction, accepting bribes, and raping innocent wild boars on the roadside."

"You are crazy. I want to see the president. Who gave you the right to arrest me?" Ross said in disbelief. The violent move immediately affected his injuries and made him take a breath.

"I'm sorry, but the document was witnessed by the President and signed by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Based on the crime you committed, if it is proven to be true, all your illegally obtained property will be confiscated and you will be shot directly."

Ross was dumbfounded. Even if it was a frame-up, it wouldn't be so obvious. No trial would arrest a general so directly.

But before he could protest, his mouth was gagged and he was taken away without the ability to resist.
