Strictly speaking, if it is not a large-scale event like the Super Bowl, the President of the United States will not participate. After all, it is not an appearance in such a large-scale event, it will lose his identity and there will be no traffic.
In the United States, politicians are just like actors. They also need to put on a show and be exposed, and they need to appear frequently in the public eye. This is one of the reasons why so much money is spent on elections in the United States. After all, in a capitalist society like the United States, advertising on television requires money.
As for why President Robert came to California to participate in such a state football game, the reason is because of the US presidential election that will be held next month. Currently, there is not much difference in the support rates between the candidates of the two political parties in the United States. It can be said that they are quite anxious. Therefore, the two parties are showing off their magic powers and are working hard to increase their last bit of strength and attack the presidential throne in a month's time.
No matter how unambitious President Robert is, he wants to fish in troubled waters at the last moment. It is related to the future of his party, and he has to cooperate. After all, if you want to live a stable life after retirement, you cannot do this without the support of old friends in your own party.
Therefore, in this football game, in addition to President Robert, there are also presidential candidates of his party. After the game, he will also lead the candidates to give a speech, calling on the people to vote for this candidate. .
So since it is a show, it needs an audience, not to mention that the president will be here in person, so the entire competition venue is full. Such a situation is a great test for security work.
The Secret Service, which is directly responsible for the security of the President of the United States, has already inspected the competition site, carefully searched the venue and surrounding areas, and conducted a detailed screening of the identities and backgrounds of the players participating in the competition and the spectators watching the competition that day. If it is found that Suspicious persons will be prevented from attending.
In addition, the Secret Service will mix a large number of plainclothes among the audience and place snipers on all surrounding highlands, which can be said to protect the president's safety in all aspects.
However, no matter how strong the defense line is, there will still be loopholes, not to mention that if there is a traitor in the defense line, then the loopholes will become a fatal weakness.
Such as Pierce, such as S.H.I.E.L.D.
This organization, which is supposed to ensure peace around the world, is trying to provoke a third world war. It would be strange if something big doesn't happen.
As night falls, the contestants and spectators watching the game have already entered the venue. When the game was about to start, President Robert's motorcade drove into the underground parking lot of the competition venue. In addition to President Robert, there were also a group of his staff, including ministers of state. Under the protection of men in black from the Secret Service, the group entered the auditorium that had been prepared.
"Friends in the audience, let us welcome our most distinguished guest, Mr. President Robert, with the warmest applause!"
As the host roared, the lights that had been prepared focused on President Robert. In an instant, the entire stadium burst into thunderous applause. Perhaps most of the audience did not know what this president had done during his tenure, but they were still very excited to see the country's top leader with their own eyes.
President Robert stood up and waved around. After a while, the applause gradually disappeared.
"It seems like I'm quite popular."
After President Robert sat down, he smiled proudly at the national minister beside him.
The white-haired minister coughed a few times, looked around cautiously, and whispered: "But we can't take it lightly. After all, the danger has not been eliminated yet."
"Calm down, as the president of the United States, threats of assassination are commonplace." President Robert patted the minister of state on the shoulder and chuckled, "You will understand when you become the president of the United States in the future."
The national minister forced a smile: "Really? Then you must vote for me when the time comes."
President Robert frowned and looked at the minister with some worry: "Old friend, are you okay? Your face doesn't look good. Are you too tired recently?"
"Maybe it's because I didn't sleep well last night." The national minister rolled his eyes at President Robert and said angrily, "If you think I'm tired, take James out of isolation quickly. Without him, a lot of work would have to be done by me. Top it up."
President Robert laughed sarcastically when he heard this: "This is a rule, and I can't do anything about it."
While talking, a whistle came from below, and the game officially started.
Less than ten minutes after the game started, a small van drove into the employee tunnel of the competition venue. Secret Service agents who were responsible for the security check here carefully checked the driver's identification and shipping documents, and carefully inspected the entire vehicle. Seeing that there was only a snack vending machine in the carriage and there was nothing unusual, the agents let it go.
The driver, wearing the uniform of a delivery company, drove in with an expressionless expression. In front of the surveillance camera, he skillfully reversed and parked the car, pulled out the vending machine with a trailer, and placed it in the sales area.
However, just as he returned to the car, several black shadows came out from the side and pinned him to the ground.
"do not move!"
Riding on the driver's neck was a Caucasian woman wearing a black tights, with long burgundy hair and slightly wavy perm. She looked extremely gorgeous. The figure outlined by the tights is also exaggerated to the point of explosion.
She held a small pistol to the back of the other person's head. Her companion, on the other hand, quickly used a special rope to trap the driver's hands and feet.
"What are you doing? What are you doing?" The driver couldn't help shouting, "I'm just a deliveryman, why are you arresting me?"
"Humph, arrest you? How are you sure we are not bad people?"
The beautiful woman said coldly: "Yes, we are agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and you were arrested on suspicion of creating a terrorist attack in the United States."
The driver's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he tried to turn his head to look at the woman pressing him. After a while, he suddenly burst into laughter.
The woman narrowed her eyes: "Why are you laughing?"
"Black Widow," a charming smile appeared on the corner of the driver's mouth, "She is indeed well-deserved, and she is indeed beautiful. What a pity..."
"What's a pity?"
Black Widow asked.
The driver closed his eyes, just smiled and stopped talking.
At this time, other members of the Black Widow team had already inspected the vending machine. However, after scanning with the instrument, no suspicious signals were found. Black Widow motioned to the other team members to keep an eye on the driver. She walked to the vending machine and looked carefully up and down for a while before her eyes suddenly fell on the display of the vending machine.
The small screen displays the amount of money invested. It should be showing "0000" now, but now it is "8000".
Just as Black Widow was watching, the four numbers suddenly changed, from "8000" to "8800".
"I've said it before, Black Widow, it's a pity for a beauty like you."
The driver laughed again.
Black Widow's whole body trembled, she stretched out her hand to press the earphone plugged into her ear hole, and shouted: "Evacuate, the package has been activated, evacuate here immediately!"
At the same time, the national minister's cell phone rang. He took it out and took a look, and his expression suddenly changed. He grabbed President Robert beside him and shouted: "Red Alert! Red Alert!!!"
Before President Robert could react, well-trained Secret Service agents grabbed him and quickly escorted him out of the auditorium.
