"Fake! These bastards! How dare they!"
With hysterical curses and roars, Ross, the former Secretary of State who was about to become the first person in the history of United States to be summoned by Federal Supreme Court and Trial, directly overturned his favorite mahogany table at home.
At this moment, he looked like an angry bull, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked extremely scary.
Because since the series of Dark History were exposed, he immediately realized that he had been abandoned.
And this time Federal Supreme Court's Trial will never be just a formality like before, and in the end big things will be reduced to trivial matters.
Just the opposite!
This time the other party really wanted to kill him!
And it's naked without any cover-up!
After all, which United States politician doesn't have some Dark History these days.
But how many of them have actually been exposed?
Most so-called scandals are actually tidbits that have nothing to do with politics.
For example, a certain president had an affair with an intern at White House, or something like family conflicts and extramarital affairs.
It is precisely because these things are not important that they are used to hype them, attract readers' attention, and divert the public's attention.
But what about the inside information that really involves core money and power transactions, facilitating the big capital behind it, and launching wars for orders from arms companies?
The answer is that you barely see it in the mainstream media at all.
The reason is simple!
These matters are too important and involve the fundamental interests of the United States ruling class, so they are usually downplayed and obscured.
If any politician is exposed to such a shocking scandal, his political career will basically be over.
Not just the end of a political career, but a terrible reckoning.
Obviously, this is the situation Ross is facing right now.
The owner of White House did not abide by the agreement and gave up restarting the investigation after he voluntarily resigned.
What's even more frightening is that the financial groups that once supported him have suddenly terminated all ties recently for unknown reasons.
All calls made to the other party showed that the phone was turned off.
"Sir, please calm down. We'd better discuss the defense strategy when the court opens on Monday. You must know that the evidence currently presented by the military and FBI is overwhelmingly against you. Especially those photos and videos of Human Experimentation. If played in court, I believe many people will feel both physical and psychological discomfort. And this discomfort will trigger their anger and eventually lead to the defeat of the case."
A lawyer who looked to be in his fifties put on glasses and took out a thick stack of files from his backpack.
As one of the most expensive and highest-status defense lawyers in the country, he is obviously very aware that there must be an ulterior political conspiracy behind this matter.
Therefore, he gave up the defense of innocence from the beginning and planned to let Ross admit part of the crime and then pass on the other part of the responsibility to his dead subordinate.
Anyway, a dead person can never defend himself in court.
As for their family members, it is impossible to know these very high-level military secrets.
In other words, as long as Ross is willing to lower his body and tear off his face, he has a chance to get rid of most of the charges.
The only problem is that doing so will defeat the purpose.
Generally speaking, if someone does this in the political arena, it means completely destroying the interpersonal network they have finally built up, and being in a state of complete "social death".
However, the black material that Ross has now exposed has basically ensured that his political career has come to an end.
So instead of retaining some political capital, it is better to throw it all away to exonerate yourself.
But the lawyer thinks so, does not mean that Ross also thinks so.
As a typical hawkish politician with a military background, this man is a typical white supremacist, possessing all the bad qualities of an "old white man."
For example, they are proud, impulsive, stubborn, always like to act superior to others, and always have racial discrimination against African Americans, Asians and Latinos in their bones, etc.
Therefore, what Ross wants to do most now is not how to deal with the two consecutive days of court hearings on Monday and Tuesday, but to prepare to take out the gun in the cabinet and directly kill the renegade bastard president in White House.
But in the end, he suppressed the urge, took a deep breath and asked, "If I do what you say, can I avoid going to jail?"
"I'm sorry, sir. With this joint action of Federal Supreme Court, the FBI and the military, they are determined to imprison you. So it is impossible not to go to jail. The only thing I can do is to seek a commutation of the sentence to ensure that the real detention time will not exceed five years."
The lawyer did not beat around the bush and simply gave a rough sentence.
According to his estimate, his client should be sentenced to twenty to twenty-five years in prison after completing a series of blame-shifting.
Five of those years must be served in prison.
But once five years are over, you can get medical parole at will and stay at home to live out your remaining life comfortably.
But Ross was obviously not satisfied with this verdict. He frowned and asked, "Don't we have any chance to turn defeat into victory?"
"Turn defeat into victory? Sir, who do you think the enemy we are facing now? Is it just the president in White House? No! What you are facing is the entire United States upper ruling class. Including the establishment political elites, as well as the real masters who control this country. People - the capital consortium. They have obviously reached a certain tacit understanding, that is, to use you as a scapegoat in order to restore Avengers, headed by Tony·Stark, because so far, they are still irreplaceable."
When saying these words, the lawyer's tone became extremely serious and serious.
If Ross really makes up his mind and refuses to admit defeat, then this lawsuit will definitely lose miserably.
It's so bad that you might end up in the electric chair.
"Damn it! What if I have some secrets that can drag others down?" Ross was undoubtedly not willing to be an outcast like this, and started to think crookedly.
His move instantly frightened the lawyer, who quickly stood up and stopped him. "No! Don't do that! Once some secrets are revealed, your situation will probably become worse. You will commit suicide inexplicably before Trial is over."
"Suicide?!"
Ross Hearing these words, his pupils suddenly dilated, and he quickly recalled that he seemed to have done similar things. Sweat immediately fell down his cheeks and dripped on the floor at his feet.
The lawyer nodded seriously. "That's right! Don't underestimate the limits of those people. In this country where capital is king, they are the real masters of the country. Whether they are the president or the generals who seem to have great power in Department of Defense, they are just hired by these people to help them plunder the world. A tool for world wealth. After all, if United States wants to continue to maintain its financial hegemony, it must have a strong army to divert the consequences of the expansion of virtual capital. Especially when United States is losing this hegemony, these people will become particularly sensitive and crazy."
"In other words, besides accepting my fate, I have no other way to make a comeback?" Ross said with strong reluctance and humiliation in his tone.
"Yes! Judging from the reaction speed of Federal Supreme Court, the FBI and the military this time, it is obvious that there is some very powerful energy at work behind the scenes. To fight against this energy at this time is to seek death. I suggest that you follow my strategy to maximize your chances of getting a reduced sentence and early medical parole."
When saying these words, the lawyer's tone was sincere and persuasive.
If the price offered by Ross was not too high, he would not even be willing to accept the defense.
The reason is very simple. There are too many forces involved behind the scenes, and if you are not careful, you will die.
Don't think that United States is really free after shouting about freedom of speech all day long.
There are countless people who have offended powerful people by saying wrong things and have been punished to the point of death, disappeared inexplicably, and committed suicide.
"Okay! Then I will believe you this time."
After struggling for a long time, Ross finally calmed down and accepted his fate.
Soon, the lawyer began to simulate various tricky questions that the other party might ask in court, trying to get his client to answer them.
If the answer in those parts was incorrect, he would point it out immediately and teach how to say it.
Just when they were putting all their energy into how to escape the crime as much as possible, they didn't realize that in a house not far next door, two people were watching their every move through surveillance cameras.
Even the sound can be heard very clearly.
One of these two people is Grant Ward, the top person in charge of Hydra at North American region, and the other is Allen who was just transmitted.
You don't need to ask to know that Grant Ward has been monitoring Ross for more than a day or two.
Now he even knows very clearly what time the other person runs the machine every day, what time he eats, what color underwear and socks he wears, how many times a week he goes on dates with his secret lover, and whether each time lasts three minutes or five minutes.
"When did you focus on him?" Allen asked curiously, touching his chin.
Grant Ward replied with a smile, "I had noticed Ross a long time ago when I was working for my adoptive father John Garrett. Of course, at that time, he was just a military general, secretly engaged in the development of Super Soldier Serum. In John's eyes, what this guy did was very consistent with the spirit of Hydra, and he even wanted to recruit him into the team."
"Oh? Then why hasn't it been put into practical action?" Allen continued to ask.
If Alexander Pierce can draw a general who plays an important role in US Military into his camp before launching Project Insight, then the chance of success will undoubtedly be much greater.
In particular, launching an armed coup to dissolve the government-controlled Congress can directly destroy the so-called "separation of powers" political system that United States people are proud of.
And once this is started, no matter whether Hydra is ultimately successful or not, others will inevitably follow suit.
By that time, the so-called one-person-one-vote electoral system will become the biggest laughing stock in the world.
"There are many reasons, but the most important point is that Ross doesn't like S.H.I.E.L.D.. Our people have almost no way to get close to him. In fact, every one of the top leaders of US Military is a military officer. The spokesperson of the industrial complex has a very close relationship with the capital behind them. Even with the power of Hydra, it is difficult to penetrate. Over the years, we have tried many methods, but in the end we have failed at the last step.
As soon as this matter was mentioned, Grant Ward showed a slightly disappointed expression on his face.
There is no doubt that penetrating US Military is much more difficult than penetrating S.H.I.E.L.D., government departments, business circles and political circles.
Because those generals who can eventually become the ones with real power have already established a deep cooperative relationship with the capital behind them ten years ago.
Allen couldn't help laughing immediately after hearing this, "Hahahaha! This is really interesting! It turns out that there are places in this world that you Hydra cannot penetrate. However, the high-level people cannot penetrate, but the middle and lower-level military There should be quite a few officials already, right? Otherwise, how would those surveillance and recording equipment be installed? As White House's former senior official, Ross enjoys the protection of Secret Service."
"I don't deny this. If you don't mind, can you tell me how you plan to deal with him? Or, in other words, how the United States federal court will rule so that I don't need to take action." Grant Ward cautiously tried.
"As long as he doesn't go to the electric chair, just follow the original plan. Remember, to deal with a person like Ross, you must first destroy everything he cherishes and turn him into the kind of person he once hated most. I happen to have a bottle of injection here, you can use it at Trial At the end, give him a shot secretly. As far as I know, there will be many politicians and big capitalists on the day when the results of Trial are announced. What will happen if half or even more of these people are suddenly killed by the crazy Ross?"
After saying that, Allen handed the other party a bottle of crimson liquid that was constantly rolling in the container.
"This is..."
Grant Ward had seen many big scenes with Coulson, and he immediately became interested in the contents of the bottle.
He could feel that these liquids were definitely not ordinary.
Allen replied with a playful look on his face, "Here is some blood from Hulk, plus some gadgets I researched. It will make people's skin turn red, and their body size will expand rapidly. You can understand that after the injection, Ross will turn into a small red Giants, and his mind will be filled with uncontrollable impulses to kill and destroy."
"That's it!"
Grant Ward was so smart that he immediately understood what Allen wanted to do. He immediately signaled his subordinates to take an empty safe and put the medicine in it.
After finishing all this, he lowered his voice and asked, "Daisy, how are you doing now?"
"Why, are you still thinking about her?" Allen asked with a half-smile.
"No, don't get me wrong, I just want to confirm her current situation." Grant Ward quickly explained.
Allen waved his hand casually. "You don't need to explain. I can tell you that Daisy is living a very good life now. Not only has she become the supreme leader of the earth Inhumans, but she can also be with her biological parents every day. The most important thing is that she now has a handsome boyfriend, who is also Inhumans..."
