The meeting lasted for about an hour. After that, the door to the house opened, and people left the room one by one, except for the chairman, whose expression was serious and seemed to be preoccupied.

Sam Lane stared intently at the president, watching the changes in his facial expressions. His behavior shouldn't have aroused suspicion, but as he recalled Xu Fu's words 5.7, the more he looked, the more uneasy he felt.

After experiencing the demon incident, Joel Nash lost his memory and could not recall his past. His personality also changed drastically, becoming reserved and aloof. Although the president in front of him was also silent, this silence was different from the previous silence. There was no imposing and intimidating pressure, only a deliberately tense face.

Sam, I heard you were looking for me.

A familiar voice echoed in his ears. Sam Lane cast aside all speculation and said in a deep voice...

"I would like to inquire about the situation with Tesla. There is a strong public demand, and we cannot delay any longer."

Joel Nash said in a deep voice, "We were just discussing this issue. Power armor should be classified as a controlled product and not allowed to circulate on the market. What do you think?"

Sam Lane's heart sank. His lips trembled uncontrollably as he forced himself to speak in a low voice, his voice filled with murderous intent.

"Power armor will be classified as special military equipment and will be prohibited from sale. Sam, you'd better be more careful in the future."

Jonash patted him on the shoulder, got up to leave, and didn't notice the bitter smile on the old man's face as he turned away.

The doubts are slowly becoming reality.

To this day, Joel Nash has been a staunch supporter of Tesla, remaining uncompromising even in the face of public pressure. But now, just one night later, everything has changed.

He doesn't support Tesla; he'd rather suppress it.

Being included on the military professional list would mean Tesla would lose all its market share and become a military vassal, and given Xu Fu-Xiao's character, he would never allow that to happen.

He issued this order without consulting Tesla, clearly indicating that he was preparing to turn against Tesla.

Perhaps Xu Fu is right.

Sam Lane turned his head and stared at the cars driving away in the distance.

"President? Puppet? Lex Luthor!!!"

"Damn bastard"

A murderous aura surged within him, refusing to subside. Just then, Defense Minister Reuman Gynt approached and said in surprise...

"Sam, what are you doing here?"

"nothing"

Sam Lane shook his head and forced a smile: "I wanted to ask about Tesla, and there's already a result."

Upon hearing this question, Royman Gynt's expression turned serious. He pulled him into the study, closed the door, and said with a stern face, "Do you know what?"

"At the same time, pay close attention to Tesla's movements, especially those of Xu Fu-Xiao."

Sam hesitated for a moment. "You want me to spy on him?"

"This isn't surveillance, it's monitoring. Find him, keep an eye on him, and whatever you do, don't let him leave the country."

Surveillance is at best a preventative measure, while monitoring is seen as a habitual offender; there is a fundamental difference between the two.

Are you going to look for him?

Sam couldn't help but say, "What does that mean? Xu Fu-Xiao doesn't say that."

"I know"

Royman Gantt took a few puffs of his cigarette, his expression revealing his worry: "I know this kid's background and strength. If a conflict breaks out, it could very well result in mutual destruction, but this is the president's order, and the cabinet has already accepted it."

Hearing these words, Sam Lane felt extremely uneasy.

"Is this what you were saying?"

Romant simply nodded.

"The president passed sanctions against Tesla," "ordered the FBI and CIA to monitor Xu Fu-Xiao," "to prevent him from defecting to other countries," and "most importantly, to Konoha."

As he spoke, he took out a piece and threw it on the table.

Sam Lane hurriedly opened the paper, his face growing paler with each reading, and finally he couldn't help but ask...

"is that true?"

"The meeting has passed a vote, and a press conference will not be held for the time being."

Sam narrowed his eyes: "Aren't you going to stop this? This plan is insane. Once it's successfully implemented, what will the Allies think? Will we become the enemy of the whole world?"

Royman Gantt shook his head: "It's not as bad as you think."

Sam Lane paused, then glanced at him, "You agreed?"

"Konoha's plan is really crazy, but also feasible. If it succeeds, we will dominate the future world."

Royman-Gunter muttered to himself, as if explaining or trying to persuade, completely oblivious to the hostility that flashed in his friend's eyes.

"I understand. I'll come back and think about it. You go and study first."

Sam Lane put the sheets aside, got up to leave, and suddenly said something as he walked to the door.

I'm not going to the party this weekend.

Sam waved stiffly toward Royman Gantt, as if he'd done it countless times before, and breathed a sigh of relief—there really wasn't a party over the weekend, and he'd given the right answer.

Is he the real Wickman Gantt, or a clone who was replaced?

Sam Lane is unsure about this. He is now suspicious of everyone—colleagues, friends, comrades. The entire White House feels like a battlefield full of crises, with bullets flying from all directions. He doesn't know who the enemy is or who the friend is.

After leaving the White House, Sam went to the Capitol and spoke with his friends in the Senate, asking them for their opinions on the Near-Earth Object (NEO) project. Surprisingly, all the senators from both parties gave positive responses, which is rare in history.

His years of political experience made him feel a conspiracy: the Near-Earth Object Project was not just the president's decision alone, but must be backed by a huge interest group.

Did these people reach a consensus and decide to cooperate with Lex Luthor, or did they all become puppets?

Things are getting worse and worse.

Sam Ryan left in a hurry, not wanting to linger for even a moment longer.

Shortly after he left, Anders appeared in the hallway and asked the staff what had happened.

"What kind of man is that?"

General Ryan

"What is he doing here?"

I think he was asking about Tesla.

"Okay, go take care of your business."

Anders turned and walked toward the office of Parliament Speaker Perok, speaking in a low voice.

"Luther just messaged saying everything is ready, just waiting for the final step."

Perlock took a deep breath, forcing himself to speak despite his nervousness.

"Then let's get started!"

On the morning of December 17, a major piece of news spread through the media.

In order to protect Earth from alien invasion, the White House government decided to unite all allies to implement a defense plan called "Earthcorps".

This news caused a sensation around the world as soon as it was released.

Reporters flocked to the White House, using every possible means to verify the accuracy of the information, and they didn't have to wait long: President Joel Nash and the entire cabinet arrived at the 877 press conference at noon.

He began with a passionate speech recounting the disasters the United States had suffered over the years and the role aliens played in them, then played the sympathy card, using the conflict to ignite people's anger.

Once everything was ready, he took out the prepared footage and announced the Konoha land plan in front of all the reporters.

The sheets were thick, with more than a dozen sheets. I didn't know what to do. Snowflakes were falling from the sky.

No one was shocked by the plan's contents: to bring together global forces to form a unified force to protect the planet. It sounded simple, but doing so was exceptionally difficult, almost impossible.

Allied nations would not agree, let alone hostile nations.

This involves too many things to be conveyed by orders alone.

The meeting fell silent, everyone waiting for the moment when the speakers would finish, knowing they would continue speaking and dispel all doubts.

However, the following scene left them stunned.

"Konoha's plan is not only for the future of humanity, but also for all races living on Earth. They are all part of the people and all hope to contribute to the people."

"A special guest has arrived!"

A sound came from the side, and a figure with a lithe build, a resolute face, wearing a signature red cloak and blue armor with an "S" embossed on it descended from the sky.

Superman?

He did attend the White House briefing.

Chapter 1461 A complicated situation

The scene was chaotic, and people's faces were filled with strong distrust.

Superman actually appeared here. What does that mean?

Perhaps he is aligned with the White House and a supporter of the Near-Earth Object Program?
