As the world’s leading superpower, Mei Nation had always been the center of attention in the international community. The discussion thread posted by Xiao Luo about the bombing of the White House had already gone viral globally. The media from every country were keeping a close eye and reporting live on this, and the entire world was watching, curious to see what would happen to the White House on this day in Washington.
The netizens of Mei Nation were equally anxious about what was happening. Someone had uploaded the photos of the White House being on high alert, which made the Internet boil over with social media activity.
“Oh, sh*t, so someone was indeed planning to blow up the White House. If not, why would the government deploy so many people to be on guard?”
“The White House is on Class-1 alert status, so what’s going on? Are we facing another terrorist attack?”
“D*mn, it must be the remnants of our old adversaries from the two previous wars, and they are here to take revenge.”
“Shut up! Our government troops will shoot down every single one of these terrorists. There’ll be no mercy!”
“Support the federal government and defeat terrorism!”
The netizens of Mei Nation were pouring their hearts out on social media. Of course, when the threat of a terrorist attack was mentioned again, there was a cloud of panic hovering over the nation like a thick haze, putting the entire nation in fear.
At this time, President Bama of Mei Nation was giving a live-streamed speech through various mainstream websites and CBS television. He spoke from the building of the Department of Defense, the Pentagon, and he aimed to calm the anxiety of the citizens.
President Bama stood on the podium confidently and appeared very calm as he addressed the citizens with his loud and confident voice. He assured them they were close to apprehending the outlaw who started the terrorist attack thread.
“Citizens of Mei Nation, do not fear and do not feel anxious. You must have faith in the federal government and your president. We will provide you with a satisfactory response. In the name of our people, I will wipe out every terrorist in this world and let us…”

As he was delivering his impassioned speech, his live stream was switched to another channel. A man wearing a Hua Nation mask appeared on the live stream of all the major video websites and CBS television.
“What’s going on?”
President Bama stared at the Minister of Defense angrily. The minister immediately turned to the head of the FBI, who quickly turned to his subordinate for answers.
After a quick confirmation, the head of the FBI walked up the stage and whispered to the president, “Mr. President, Mie has hacked into every major platform transmitting our live coverage and redirected all the channels to this transmission.”
“So he is Mie?” President Bama asked as he pointed at the man who was wearing a Hua Nation mask.
“Yes, that should be him, sir.”
The head of the FBI looked nervous, and for fear that President Bama might lose his temper, he quickly added, “Rest assured, Mr. President, I have ordered our IT experts to restore transmission of your speech to all channels and prevent any further disruption. Everything will return to normal soon.”
“Are you sure your guys are capable of that?” President Bama quipped, visibly annoyed with what happened.
It was an unmitigated disaster that a hacker could so easily disrupt a live speech by the president of this country, and to rub salt into the wound, his transmission was redirected to a different feed. President Bama could already imagine the leaders of foreign countries talking about this topic over their meals. Just the thought that he might become the butt of a joke that went viral around the world made him even angrier.
