Chapter 1073 The Dilemma of the United States
He could not control himself, as if some undeniable will moved his finger to the button and pressed it. Hapi Hogan opened the trunk and the car door without any resistance. Although Tony Stark never asked him to park here and he did not know the person knocking on the window, he naturally followed the order at this moment as if the order occupied all the thinking ability in his brain, and all his thinking threads served this order. Only by satisfying this order could he do the next thing. Peter Parker was surprised to see the man who had met in the hospital humming a song and put his handbag into the trunk, then opened the car door and sat next to him, as relaxed as if he was riding a Greyhound bus instead of a luxury car.
He didn't notice anything wrong, and the silence in the back seat continued until Hapi Hogan stepped on the accelerator and drove the car forward and left the hospital's underground garage. Peter Parker tried to find a topic to talk to the person who also sat in the back seat, who looked like he was at a similar age. "Do you know Tony Stark too? I mean, I'm grateful for using new treatment technology on me in the hospital, and I'm glad that there were almost no scars on my body. If May saw me scars all over..."
"I'm not a doctor, boy. The reason I help you is because you were not the target of the night, and you're lucky enough. The fragments in the warhead that attacked the drone did not kill you. I wouldn't resurrect a frozen corpse in the morgue." Salomon interrupted his speech mercilessly. He stretched out his hands and pushed the door. The back seat, which was originally a little crowded, suddenly widened into a seat that could sit down three people without any effort. Although the back seat of the car was originally the car's back seat was originally widened.
He could also sit down three people, but now it is much more spacious. Through the bumps in the speed bump, Peter Parker accidentally hit the car door. He stared at the extra space in the back seat, and his brain could not understand this situation. However, the initiator was not interested in letting him understand. "Have you ever wondered why you had such ability after the spider bites you? You are a science and engineering enthusiast. Tell me, what happened to you is in line with the physical laws of the real universe?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't hear it clearly..."
"Your ability comes from the recognition of an external creature. You are like one end of a spider web constantly vibrating from the real universe to transmit information to a higher dimension, and spend your whole life sending the information to the center of the spider web for the creature to chew. Your spider sensing is essentially a short-term predictor of the future, but this ability is too intuitive so you can't detect it. If your ability continues to strengthen, you will have the ability to see all the future, just like all the witchcraft that spiders peek at the silk thread of fate." Salomon said on his own, "You will not have descendants, and you may not even live until you see yourself aging, you will wander alone in this world until death. All Spider-Man follows the same principle and keeps staged different possibilities. Your essence is the other end of the spider silk. Everything you experience is the vibration on the spider web, and finally wrap your joys and sorrows in the cocoon and become the nutrient for that creature."
"Okay, I don't quite understand..."
"You don't have to understand, Peter Parker. You can't get out of New York City in your entire life, and your goal will never even leave Queens. Tony Stark is fighting against me because I stand against him and his interests, so why do you do this? To satisfy your inner sense of justice, or to show off your abilities?" Salomon stared at the teenager curiously. American society has experienced considerable turmoil since that attack, and it took two full days to experience great turmoil.
The fire at the Norfolk Naval Base, which was only in its inflict, completely destroyed the United States' ability to manufacture Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and Ford-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers. The explosion of a large amount of ammunition caused the destruction of materials and personnel of the logistics department, which brought unprecedented obstacles to the US Navy's operations in the Atlantic, Mediterranean and Indian Ocean. The military had to allocate logistics tasks to some smaller naval bases on the east coast. However, some ports that could not dock the aircraft carrier were still unable to complete all tasks.
But after that attack, there were two different voices among the American people.
Although many voices have asked the White House to come up with a practical plan of retaliation, because no one in the world has brought war to the United States, this has hit the confidence of the United States to some extent and has inspired many people's patriotic enthusiasm, including the Republican voter and many right-wing voters represented by veterans and police as the main group. However, some voices have shown that the enemy has hypersonic missiles that cannot be intercepted by the current air defense system and has weapons of mass destruction. These people suggest that the White House use peaceful means to solve the problem, such as lifting economic sanctions, etc.
The current president and his staff were Democrats. After a nightly meeting by many think tanks, the current president delivered a speech on condemning Latovigna's strike against the United States the day after the attack. The speech seemed to say a lot, but the actual content was almost nothing. It neither expressed the idea of improving relations with Latovigna, nor proposed military operations against Latovigna. After the speech, many officials were sent to Europe and promised to use a weapon support plan to try to break the new system that some European countries and Latovigna intend to establish.
Many European countries have not had much practical reflection on this practice except the United Kingdom.
The strong military strength shown by Latovia has completely broken the US military hegemony. From the destruction of US communication satellites, positioning systems and military satellites, it can be seen that Latovia has mastered the technology that can put the entire Europe and the United States into information stagnation, and Latovia has also demonstrated it. During the last demonstration, Latovia's territory expanded several times, almost covering the entire Southeast Europe. Now the US navy and air force cannot reach Europe, and the Aegis tactical system has become a waste in Europe. Compared to being far away from the other end of the Atlantic Ocean, Latovia is closer to Europe. The NATO system in the past continued to cool down in Europe. This system dominated by the United States is inevitably disintegrating.

Investment management companies such as BlackRock are the main groups of Wall Street. Under the attack of giant plasma cannons of war engines, the servers that store a large amount of data were completely destroyed. Although it can be repaired by data uploaded to servers elsewhere, it will take a long time. However, this is not a key issue. The data on Wall Street was destroyed and cannot destroy the established wealth relationship, but the safe economic environment destroyed with the attack was fatal. The Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange were still closed in vain at the opening of the next day. It can be foreseen that the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell irreversibly, and a large amount of funds fleeing from the stock market will cause immeasurable losses to the US economy, which has abandoned a large amount of manufacturing and relied heavily on capital account surpluses to make profits.
Even if the White House has brought the New York Federal Reserve Bank together with the heads of giants such as the New York Stock Exchange, Nasdaq, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Treasury Department, Verizon Telecom and New York Edison United Company to hold a meeting, and investigated the large number of transactions in the weeks before the attack, and transferred many staff members of the New York Federal Reserve Bank to save the U.S. economy in a short time. The only solution is to launch a war on terrorism, just like dealing with Latovigna against Iraq.
This can not only give capital and the people confidence, but also create a safe trading environment.
But Latovigna has the world's most advanced military technology. If the United States announces a war, the United States will no longer be safe, and even the US president will no longer be safe. Hypersonic missiles can directly lock the position of the US president for precise strikes without five minutes. This is fatal to a country that needs to rely on votes, because it means that no key figure can appear in a certain location for more than five minutes. And after the declaration of war, it does not mean that Wall Street will be safe. The current market closure is not so much the damage to the power grid and communication network during the attack, but rather the Federal Reserve and the White House are trying to retain capital that is about to flee.
European capital's plan to flee to the United States went bankrupt, so in the short term, they could only choose to cooperate with Latovinia.
After seeing that the United States can no longer provide a safe trading environment, American capital will also choose to escape without mercy, but it is very particular about where to escape. The Latovian Regent has been ready to swallow the funds in one bite and use them on the territory that has now been expanded several times.
Therefore, the Democratic Party either gave up the election, gave up the position of president, or surrendered completely, and talked with Latovigna. No matter which option is unacceptable to the White House, it was a complete dead end, and it was a suggestion made by Stephanie Malik, the chief executive of the Immortal City, after researching 9/11. No one knows better how the American economy works than the Malik family. The German family, a German family, came to this new continent before the founding of the United States. To some extent, the Malik family is one of the major shareholders of the United States.
With the precise blow of a scalpel, the society and economy of the United States were in chaos.
Peter Parker was discharged from the hospital very soon, and the streets of New York are almost representative of disorder.
