I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World-Chapter 1489 - Return to North America

Chapter 1489: Return to North America

In just three days, the situation in North America once again caught the world’s attention.

First, Trump flew back to CA State, then Celestial Trade found the wreckage of Air Force One near French Polynesia and recovered the black box. The International Civil Aviation Organization sent a commissioner to Coro City to investigate and collect evidence and finally confirmed that the source of the black box was indeed Air Force One.

Soon, with the cooperation of the International Civil Aviation Organization and the Xin Aviation Administration, the cause of the Air Force One crash was recovered from the black box. Based on multiple data, the circuit on the left-wing engine of Air Force One was in disrepair due to aging, and obviously, it was impossible for this to happen on Air Force One.

If it did happen, then it could explain one thing.

The person behind the crash was someone close to the President.

As the investigation and evidence collection entered the final stage, the FBA Director John Corning disappeared.

When the investigators rushed to John Corning’s house, his home was already empty. Based on the closet full of clothes and the photos scattered on the ground, the former FBA director left in a hurry. From his water and electricity usage, he fled three days ago.

The Boeing engineer responsible for Air Force One maintenance was shot dead at home. The Department of Homeland Security commissioner who accompanied the inspection committed suicide in his own bathtub. All the incidents seemed to be indicating that someone was frantically obstructing the investigation and desperately cutting the ties involved in the aircraft inspection.

However, it turned out that all the efforts were in vain.

Celestia Trade handed over the captured Morgan and a recording to the Supreme Court. In the recording, Morgan, who was injected with the truth-telling serum, had honestly explained everything. He had confessed to the murder of Trump, along with his accomplices Rockefeller, FBA Director John Corning, and the Secretary of Homeland Security.

With the addition of Trump’s own testimony, the conviction was certain.

As Jiang Chen expected, when the investigators announced the results of the investigation, the public was in an uproar.

The names of the people involved in the case could shake the political and financial circles around the world. Especially Morgan, after the fall of the Rothschild family, was slowly becoming the wealthiest family in the new century. And now, the fact that he was thrown into prison made it hard to connect him to the powerful financial tycoon.

The ironic part of the murder scandal that shocked the world was that, in the midst of the turbulence was not the two behind-the-scenes masterminds of Morgan, who was already in prison, and the fugitive Rockefeller, but the president involved in a secret agreement.

If it could be argued that Mike Pence , who signed the surrender agreement, betrayed the twelve divisions fighting on the front line and the tens of millions of reserve forces ready to mobilized, for the safety of the lives and property of all his people. Then the investigation results undoubtedly proved that he betrayed the country.

To murder the president for power, use force to intervene in Colombia, launch a nuclear war that dragged the entire UA into the abyss… Fortunately, Celestial Trade did not launch a retaliatory strategic nuclear counterattack, otherwise, no one doubted that the entire West Coast and even central states would turn into scorched earth.

Immunity did not apply to the murder of the president, especially if the murder occurred before Mike Pence became the president. The Supreme Court tried his crimes including treason, murder, and abuse of power.

The verdict would still need time to be delivered, but in any case, based on the law of Capital and his level of involvement in the entire incident, his sentence would be at least 20 years without bail.

Because Mike Pence’s inaugural method was illegal, and he was currently under investigation by the prosecutor, he could naturally not continue to run the office. However, the UA politicians struggled to find a new president.

In the history of the UA, they had never witnessed a president’s “resurrection”. There was a fierce debate in Congress as to whether the Speaker of the House of Representatives, who was in the third-order successor or the “resurrected” Trump, should take office.

…

Although contrast to Mike Pence’s term, Sugar Cube Diplomacy seemed to become a highlight of Trump’s administration, most of Congress seemed to dislike the snarky President and preferred the Speaker of the House to succeed.

But in the end, it was Trump who returned to presidency.

There was no other reason.

Celestial Trade Force stationed in Capital exerted pressure on Congress and forced Congress to make a “wise choice.”

Just like this, this crime of the century had come to an end for the time being.

Just as Mike Pence was arrested and imprisoned, and on the third day after Trump returned to office, which was the same day the Xin Reserve meeting on interest rates ended, a silver aerospace G100 appeared in the night sky of North America, and slowly landed on the runway of JFK Airport.

Aerospace G100 had won the race against time difference.

Before Jiang Chen boarded, it was still two o’clock in the afternoon in Coro City. When he arrived in Capital, it was late at night.

Surrounded by a group of bodyguards, Jiang Chen got off the plane and left the airport through the private tunnel. Because this trip was completely confidential, the media did not receive information in advance, and naturally, there were no such annoying reporters.

Other than the staff from the Xin embassy waiting at the entrance, there was also another man with a special identity. It was Jiang Chen’s old friend – Loki from B City. In addition, Joseph Kennedy, who Jiang Chen met once before, stood next to Loki.

“Welcome, my old friend.” Loki gave a big hug to Jiang Chen, shook hands, then gestured toward the exit, and walked beside Jiang Chen. In a relaxed tone, he said, “I’ll be honest, it’s not a good idea to come to North America right now. I don’t know how many people regard you as a thorn in the eye.”

“What about you? My old friend,” Jiang Chen said in a half-joking tone.

“Me? Honestly, you have caused me a heavy loss, but I am very grateful to you for sparing my factories and real estate in B City.” Loki laughed as if he didn’t care about the war that happened some time ago. “Fortunately, this war that was a mistake from the start is over.”

For most of the North American upper classes, especially large consortia like the B City Consortium, did not feel regret or sorrow about the country. Instead, it was the depreciating dollar because of the war that pained them. It was no exaggeration to say that the direct economic loss of the B City Consortium exceeded 7 billion dollars on the day Celestial Trade landed on Manhattan Island.

And the loss was after the fact that B City Consortium had re-allocated their dollar-denominated assets after Kennedy lost the election.

“I’m glad you can think this way. In fact, you can completely forget that loss. We will soon let you gain more in the form of a win-win situation… count it as compensation to our allies.” After a pause, Jiang Chen smiled, “In addition, I have a few things to deal with on this trip, and I may need your help.”

When Loki heard the compensation, his mind was overjoyed, but he did not let any emotion surface, and instead just responded politely.

“It’s my pleasure.”

The situation described as compensation by Celestial Trade would certainly not disappoint him…
