24: Live broadcast of the execution of the Mi soldiers, Sleepy Joe was furious and sent troops to Darwin City!

In the U.S., on the afternoon of the day the U.S. military base fell.

President Joe La Xi suddenly delivered a national televised address from his office in the White Palace.

The President stated that the U.S. Military had successfully recaptured Darwin Air Force Base and annihilated all the occupiers.

He then played a video of a night operation.

In the video, numerous guns, cannons, armored vehicles, and even fighter jets fired at each other.

Although it was unclear who was attacking whom, the entire scene was quite lively.

At the end of the video, the U.S. Military flag slowly rose again above the base, full of symbolic meaning.

U.S. citizens in front of their televisions, upon seeing the national flag rise at the base, collectively stood up and cheered:

“The U.S. is invincible, the U.S. is the strongest in the world!”

Of course, the video of the U.S. Military recapturing the base was fake.

The U.S. Military had actually recaptured an empty city abandoned by the American military.

However, judging by the public's reaction, this public relations effort was effective.

As Joe Rossi was just admiring his speech, the office door opened, and Jeff, the Chief of Staff of the White Palace, walked in, handing over documents and reporting orally: “Mr. President, the entire incident has now been clarified.”

“That night, Colonel Phelps of Darwin Base led armored forces into Darwin City to quell the rebellion, but they were defeated by the rioters in Darwin City.”

“The armored forces were defeated because the rioters had previously seized the Darwin City armory and then launched a surprise attack using the cover of night and their numerical advantage.”

“Of course, more combat details need to be uncovered, but the basic facts are clear.”

Joe La Xi did not look at the documents first; for him, there were too many characters on them, which was brain-draining.

He asked somewhat incredulously: “You mean, those rioters actually directly robbed the armory?!”

Jeff: “According to preliminary intelligence, that is correct.”

Joe La Xi instantly burst into laughter and immediately ordered: “Quick, call a meeting, summon all high-ranking officials from the Pentagon… No, I’ll go there myself!”

The President soon arrived at the Pentagon Department of Defense.

At the start of the meeting, Joe La Xi impatiently declared: “Those rioters in Darwin City dared to loot the local police station; they are clearly terrorists. Our attack on them is counter-terrorism. Send troops to Darwin City, quickly—”

The senior officials of the Department of Defense exchanged glances.

Secretary Savitz stated: “Mr. President, if the intelligence is accurate, then what we will face is an organized, strategic, and capable American military that will not be easy to deal with.”

“The equipment they obtained from Darwin Base and the city’s armory can arm at least a 10,000-strong, multi-branch force.”

“Moreover, they will likely entrench themselves within the city walls, defending it. We will need to mobilize a sufficient number of troops to quell the rebellion, which will take at least ten days to half a month to complete.”

Claire, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, also said: “Furthermore, even if those people are terrorists, if we do not issue a global announcement beforehand to explain clearly, the legitimacy of our actions will be questioned.”

“Also, Australia is still nominally a sovereign state, and Darwin City is still under the jurisdiction of the Australia government. We cannot attack Darwin City without permission!”

Joe La Xi grew impatient, waving his hand and saying: “Then quickly contact Australia officials to seek their consent! No, force their Congress to pass a resolution authorizing the U.S. Military to attack Darwin City—”

—

Around 9 PM.

President Joe La Xi had not rested at all, constantly waiting for the latest developments.

Then Jeff, the Chief of Staff and his senior assistant, walked in again, holding a tablet computer, with a look of delight:

“Your Excellency, Mr. President, this is the latest intelligence—a secret recording of what just happened in Darwin City. You should really see it yourself.”

Joe La Xi was puzzled, took the tablet, and his expression immediately changed.

The recording showed Darwin City citizens gathered en masse in the central square, executing U.S. Military soldiers.

There were speeches on a high platform, public denunciations, and finally, victims' families tearing apart U.S. Military soldiers with their bare hands.

Especially the part where the U.S. Military soldiers were torn apart; the scene was unbearable to watch.

That was an act of raw violence, driven by primal bestiality, stemming entirely from human hatred, breaking the boundaries of modern civilization and law.

Joe Rossi was momentarily in disbelief.

Are the people of Darwin City crazy?!

But after thinking for a while, he burst out laughing.

Excellent.

Now no one would dare say that the U.S.'s subsequent actions were unjust.

As for the tragic deaths of those few U.S. Military soldiers, they were utterly insignificant compared to Joe La Xi's delight.

Next, good news followed one after another.

On Australia's official side, there was originally a large group of parliament members who disagreed with authorizing the U.S. to attack Darwin City.

However, after seeing the video of Darwin City executing U.S. Military soldiers, they either abstained or voted in favor.

Thus, the Australia Congress's authorization resolution passed smoothly.

At this point, all public opinion obstacles to the war had been cleared.

Soon after, the U.S. publicly announced to the world that the Indigenous Party of Darwin City had committed crimes against humanity by executing people without trial in the most primitive and barbaric manner. The U.S. had designated the Indigenous Party as a terrorist organization and, having received authorization from Australia, would attack Darwin City in the coming days.

Instantly, the world was in an uproar.

—

On China's side.

Minister of Defense Dong Changjun also received a series of the latest intelligence, frowning.

This Indigenous Party is too reckless.

Not only did they hold public trials and deliver numerous anti-colonial speeches during the trials, but they also executed those U.S. Military soldiers using the most primitive methods.

This created a pretext.

It was tantamount to handing a knife to the American military!

“Still too young.”

“The courage of youth.”

But for some reason, Dong Changjun associated the Indigenous Party with his own century-old political party.

It had also experienced ups and downs, been passionate, and made mistakes in its time.

He immediately called his assistant, Xiao He, in and instructed:

“Have the relevant departments gather all intelligence on this Indigenous Party, especially personal intelligence on Mazza Ha.”

“Also, activate our 'wedge' agents planted there, but ensure their personal safety and avoid revealing their identities.”

This was all Dong Changjun could do.

After all, Darwin City was too far away and on U.S. territory; even if China wanted to intervene, it wouldn't have the opportunity.
