The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel.

Chapter 525 The Eve of War
"This is far from enough. We need to add more fuel to the fire."

Weiss whispered to himself.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and his mind was working rapidly, thinking about his next plan.

Those politicians in the US government are extremely hypocritical and greedy. They will do anything to satisfy their own selfish desires. They should have been punished long ago.

Today, the public protests triggered by the exposure of black material are just the beginning of his revenge plan. He wants to make the US government pay a heavier and more painful price.

At the same time, politicians in the White House acted like ostriches, choosing to turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to the people’s protests.

They hid in sturdy buildings, trying to escape reality and fantasizing that the storm would subside on its own.

However, just as they were paralyzing themselves, a shocking event was quietly happening far away in the Middle East.

Iran, a country with an important position and strong influence in the Middle East, finally made a major decision after experiencing a series of tense situations - declaring war on Israel.

The news spread like lightning, shocking the whole world in an instant.

The situation in the Middle East is already complex and sensitive, with constant conflicts of interest and intricate contradictions among countries. The conflict between Iran and Israel is even more long-standing, with deep-rooted resentment and constant conflicts for many years.

Iran's declaration of war is undoubtedly like a powerful blockbuster bomb, which has caused huge waves in the Middle East and even the world, and has attracted great attention from all parties.

Once this war breaks out, it will inevitably trigger a series of chain reactions, like dominoes falling one after another.

The United States, as a major power with many conflicting interests and deep political intervention in the Middle East, absolutely cannot stay out of it.

The news of Iran declaring war on Israel was like a powerful nuclear bomb, which caused huge waves on the calm lake surface and instantly dragged the international community into a violent whirlpool of public opinion. The various forces quickly split and formed two distinctly opposing camps.

One group believes that this is definitely not the time for humans to kill each other and engage in meaningless internal friction.

We urgently call on all nations to set aside past grudges, all historical conflicts and disputes, and to join hands to form a strong and powerful coalition government. Only by uniting the strength of all humanity and rationally integrating global resources can we possess the strength to resist the alien invasion in the future and secure a glimmer of hope for human survival and development.

The other faction mercilessly directed its criticism at the United States and its followers.

The United States has long pursued a hegemonic policy in international affairs. Like a tyrannical bully, it has wantonly interfered in the internal affairs of other countries and used all means to satisfy its own interests.

What the United States has done is like a piece of rotten meat that has fouled the taste of the world, turning the originally harmonious and orderly international environment into a chaotic mess.

They firmly believe that as long as the United States continues to stubbornly adhere to this hegemonic thinking and act arrogantly and do whatever it wants on the international stage, the formation of a coalition government will only be an unattainable fantasy and will never become a reality.

Because in order to maintain its so-called hegemonic position, the United States will inevitably set up many obstacles to the formation of a coalition government, and will even resort to various political, economic and even military means to sabotage and obstruct it.

However, what is extremely strange and puzzling is that in the past, whenever such major conflicts occurred internationally, there would always be some powerful countries or international organizations with broad influence who would step forward and actively carry out mediation and conciliation work, striving to quell the war and restore peace.

But this time, no country or international organization is willing to step forward and shoulder this important responsibility.

All nations seemed to have fallen into a state of silent observation, each one like a wooden sculpture or clay figure, quietly watching the development of the situation, as if waiting for something. "These bastards!!"

The American president's eyes were wide open, as if they were about to spit fire, his entire face turned purple and red with extreme anger, and the veins on his forehead bulged out like little snakes about to burst.

He suddenly picked up the phone receiver and smashed it against the landline with all his strength.

"Kang Dang"

He vented all the resentment that he couldn't suppress in his heart.

Once Iran and Israel start fighting with real weapons, the situation will definitely get completely out of control. At that time, it will be impossible for the United States to stay out of it and it will definitely be dragged into the war.

But reality was like a solid club, hitting him on the head and shattering his fantasy.

The Russians and the East Asian countries rejected his request without much hesitation.

This is an unprecedented heavy blow to the United States, which has always been accustomed to acting arrogantly and controlling the overall situation in international affairs.

He knew in his heart that this was no accident. It showed that the two countries, and most likely the majority of countries in the world, tacitly approved of, and even secretly hoped for, a war between Iran and Israel.

Those countries may be waiting for the right opportunity to stir up trouble in this conflict, adding fuel to the fire and making it burn even more fiercely.

It is obvious what they are planning: they want to drag the United States into the quagmire of the Middle East.

Since its founding, Israel has been supported by the United States. Over the years, the United States has provided Israel with all-round and comprehensive support in military, economic and political aspects. The relationship between the two countries is extremely complex and intertwined.

Besides, the Jewish tycoons in the United States are inextricably linked with Israel, and they can influence the economic circle and their influence on U.S. political decision-making cannot be underestimated.

Under such circumstances, if the United States intends to abandon Israel, it would be like cutting its own arm with a knife, which is simply unacceptable.

Ever since the "Washington Freeze Incident", the national strength of the United States has been declining like the setting sun, getting worse day by day.

Although the US government subsequently introduced policies and invested money to try every possible way to reverse the decline, the effect was minimal and there was not much improvement.

Seeing that the conflict between Iran and Israel is about to break out, it is like a cold sword of Damocles hanging over the head of the United States, and is crumbling.

If it is not handled properly, the United States may lose its hegemonic status that it has painstakingly cultivated for many years.

Thinking of this, the president slowly stood up. The emptiness in his eyes disappeared, replaced by madness and determination, just like a gambler who has lost all his money.

"We must defeat Iran in one fell swoop. At worst, we can resort to nuclear weapons. We can't worry about anything else."

At this moment, in his heart, it seemed that all his concerns were thrown out of the window. In order to maintain the hegemony of the United States and to sit firmly on his political throne, he decided to go all out, even if doing so might push the entire world into the abyss of destruction.
