CHAPTER 620: CHAPTER 298: [BLUE STAR PLAYERS: PARDO...PARDON???]

If a major power plays this card, other federations or countries have no recourse.

But if a small country tries this... it’s like digging its own grave.

We can only wait and see how things change in the future.

Because for the Arab countries right now, their move is quite successful.

They directly threatened the superpower, the United States.

Watching the United States, this superpower, being choked by them, they might be celebrating and cheering domestically, but they’ve offended the entire world.

It’s hard to judge the pros and cons.

We’ll find out later.

Yu Feng looked at the documents and continued:

"Then it was 1974."

"That year, the United States was hit by a massive scandal."

"The then-president of the United States was found to have installed wiretaps and filmed documents at the national headquarters of their opponent during an investigation."

"This is a deadly political move."

"When you become president and install wiretaps on your opponent, monitoring their moves and meetings in real-time, over time."

"Wouldn’t the ’election’ of the United States always be on their side?"

"After all, the other side is being wiretapped all the time, it’s like all their cards are exposed, how can they compete in the subsequent elections?"

"After this incident happened."

"The ’White House’ tried to destroy evidence, pay hush money to the people involved, and pressure investigative agencies."

"But this greatly reduced the ’White House’s’ credibility."

"And as the investigation continued."

"They really found a recording system installed throughout the ’White House’, and the then-president of the United States refused to hand over all the tapes."

"And personally instructed his subordinates to obstruct the investigation."

"This caused a huge uproar in the United States."

"After all, if he were innocent, why would the then-president of the United States obstruct the investigation? Now he’s not only obstructing the investigation but also personally stepping in to apply pressure."

"This further shows how sinister the situation was."

"Who knows what the public thought because the internal moves within the United States were even quicker."

"On the same day that the then-president of the United States obstructed the investigation, his party began to turn against him and convict him, and the president acted quickly."

"The next day, he announced his resignation."

"He was immediately succeeded by Vice President Ford."

"The president of the United States has the power to pardon."

"After Vice President Ford took office, he directly pardoned the former president of all charges."

As the words fell.

The Blue Star viewers in the live stream were posting question marks?

Wow?

Can it really be done like this?

Pardoning right after taking office, the process is way too efficient?

This isn’t a legal issue.

This is a game of power?

Turns out a major hole can be wiped clean.

That’s indeed quite liberal.

No wonder he was bold enough to lead in obstructing the investigation, turns out the former president had already secured his retreat.

This absurd plot twist made the Blue Star viewers in the live stream exclaim 666.

Yu Feng continued:

"Then came 1975."

"This year."

"The ’Vietnam Federation War’ in the Asian Region ended."

"Even with the support of the United States, the internal forces of the Vietnam Federation, with the support of the Republic, unified the country."

"This marked the second defeat of the United States in the Asian region."

"The first was the Peninsula War, the second was the Vietnam Federation War."

"Both were related to the Republic’s support in the background."

"It also made many small countries in the Asian region react, realizing that their ancestor is still the same ancestor."

"As long as they aren’t dead."

"They are indeed capable of fighting."

"After the Vietnam Federation War ended, the credibility of the United States in the Asian region almost collapsed."

"Because of two wars, from 1953 to 1975, over 20 years, they ultimately lost."

"The big promises the United States has made before, some small countries in the Asian region became hesitant to accept."

"Why?"

"Because the Republic is right next to them."

"If they provoke the Republic, help from afar can’t extinguish nearby fires."

"They might get destroyed by the Republic in a single blow before the United States even arrives."

"However, after the United States suffered setbacks in the Asian region, they regained themselves in Europe."

"First, since the end of World War II."

"The countries in Europe, due to the presence of the behemoth Soviet Union, and the United States-led camp countries confronting them on European ground."

"So boundaries have always been blurred."

"But in the 1975 ’Helsinki Agreement,’ the United States-led federation countries publicly recognized the post-war borders of Europe for the first time."

"This greatly reduced the direct conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union."

"Both sides felt relieved."

"Through this agreement, the Soviet Union gained cooperation in economics, technology, and science from the United States’ camp countries, while the United States promoted human rights and exchanges of personnel to the Soviet Union."

"Both sides gained benefits, but as for what was lost."

"We still need to explore this ourselves."

"After all, the collapse of the Soviet Union wasn’t due to a single cause."

"It was the result of a combination of multiple factors."

As the words fell.

Some viewers in the live stream, Blue Star friends, frowned.

Looking at the data released by Yu Feng in the live stream, there’s nothing particularly special.

The Soviet Union received technology, while the United States propagated human rights.

It seems like the Soviet Union got the better deal.

After all, scientific technology isn’t something that can be achieved with sheer numbers. It requires painstaking research or a flash of insight to create.
