Chapter 408： Riots at US airport

The United States has always used freedom and democracy as its slogans, and the people in this country like to do demonstrations the most.

It was only five hours before Li Daniu's post was released, which happened to be 10 o'clock the next morning in the United States.

In Los Angeles, Washington, New York and other cities with international airports, those patients with advanced cancer could only wait to die as if they were appointed, but they suddenly learned that there is a country that has announced that it can completely cure cancer. And he also promised that if he can't cure it, he will pay 100,000 US dollars in cash.

If it was announced by another country or some other medical institution, many people would definitely think it was some kind of new type of fraud. Because in that post, there is an article that requires patients to bring 5,000 SGD for treatment.

According to the contents of the exchange rate article pushed by WeChat, the official exchange rate of the new currency to the US dollar announced by New Tuvalu is 1 to 1, and 5,000 new currency is equivalent to 5,000 US dollars.

The first reaction of many people is, what if they get their $5,000 treatment fee, then pat their **** and leave, and refuse to fulfill the promised $100,000 compensation?

But the second reaction of these people was also unexpectedly unanimous.

"What did the king of New Tuvalu say? Then why worry? They have plenty of money, and they always keep their promises."

If Li Daniu knew that because he didn't calculate it at the beginning, he let the prize in the lottery on the eye book change from the originally estimated 100,000 US dollars to millions of dollars, and he got more people's support. Trust, will you turn to rebuttal: "It's not that I didn't figure it out last time, but I planned to throw money!"

After gaining credibility, these patients in the United States immediately packed their simple bags and rushed to the international airport in the nearest city.

As for applying for a visa?

New Tuvalu is now visa-free to the whole world, why should I apply for a visa?

Why don't you just hold your own passport?

I'm not from any special industry, so I can't leave the United States casually?

But what makes them feel disappointed and angry is that no matter it is Los Angeles or Washington, or New York, San Francisco, these cities with international airports, there is no direct flight to New Tuvalu.

"Are you **** kidding me? Last week I was flying to New Tuvalu from here, there were at least 3 flights a day, and now you are telling me that there is no direct flight?"

Some people yelled at the ticket sellers at the airport. When they booked tickets through the Internet, it showed that there were no tickets. They thought that the airport had limited the number of tickets on the online ticketing port because of the recent shortage of flights to New Tuvalu. Unexpectedly, when they came to the airport ticket office, they found that there were no flights.

Before the people at the airport could reply, the cancer patient next to him who was also planning to buy a ticket to New Tuvalu immediately asked loudly.

"Have you ever been to New Tuvalu? Or did you make the plane here?"

"Of course! I went for an interview last week. If I knew that New Tuvalu could cure cancer today, I wouldn't come back even if I was killed."

Who says Americans can't be rowdy in public?

The Chinese tourists who were waiting in line to buy tickets, smiled and took out their mobile phones and began to take pictures.

The people at the airport immediately came out to explain: "Because New Tuvalu is too far away from us in the United States, ordinary civil aviation aircraft are simply not enough to fly from our airport to New Tuvalu's airport."

"Isn't your explanation too far-fetched?" A knowledgeable person immediately retorted: "How many direct flights to Australia are there on the flight schedule? How many direct flights to New Zealand? And from where we are, to How much is the distance between Australia or New Zealand and the distance to New Tuvalu?"

New Tuvalu is more than 400 nautical miles away from the southernmost territory of New Zealand. According to the amount of aviation fuel that must be kept on board when a civil aircraft flies to its destination, this distance is really nothing.

"Is it necessary to calculate the distance? I could fly before, why can't I fly now? Please give us a reasonable explanation."

Although these noisy Americans still maintain a certain degree of rationality, if you think about it carefully, you can find that almost all of these people are patients with advanced cancer. For these people, stopping them from going to New Tuvalu at this time is completely equivalent to murdering them.

As more and more cancer patients rushed to the airport, the pressure on the airport was also increasing. As a last resort, they sent the ground security inside the airport and called the police at the same time.

In normal times, this method can instantly suppress this level of disturbance of public order, but now, it is pouring a bucket of gasoline into the fire.

"I am a lawyer. What we are doing now is a completely legal act of seeking the normal rights of citizens, rather than disturbing public order."

Cancer is a disease that does not distinguish people from different industries or levels. It doesn’t matter whether you are a lawyer or a high-ranking official, you can still get this disease.

In the United States, the people that government units are most afraid of dealing with are undoubtedly lawyers, and the police who come to deal with the situation are naturally no exception.

When the two sides were in a stalemate, the relatives and friends of some cancer patients also got the news. As a cancer patient, if there is any damage caused by this stalemate or the possible escalation of conflict, it will be a lot of fun.

More and more people are demanding the immediate opening of flights, which will naturally attract journalists in the United States who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement.

The American ABC TV station immediately dispatched its own live broadcast team to the nearest airport to start live broadcasting the situation at the scene. This kind of extremely attractive news will naturally be included in the urgent news.

Besides ABC TV, other TV stations were not to be outdone, and sent their own live broadcast teams one after another. With the high-efficiency operation of the American media industry, in just half an hour, almost any TV in the United States can watch the confrontation at a certain airport.

After understanding the situation clearly, the people instantly went into an uproar.

Although they don't know why the non-stop flights to New Tuvalu are suspended, it doesn't mean they don't sympathize with these cancer patients.

When life is about to come to an end, it is such a blessing to suddenly see hope. But now, this hope has been blocked for some unknown reason. How can the people not be angry?

Some people went to the airport naturally, and some people took out cardboard and other things directly from their homes or companies, wrote some simple slogans, and started to demonstrate on the street.

As for how many people here want to take the opportunity to skip work?

God knows.

When a cancer patient suddenly fainted to the ground because of this confrontation, or because his hope of life was blocked, the airport where he was located instantly became chaotic.

Someone chanted: "Murder at the airport!"

Someone took the opportunity to raise the topic, and shouted directly: "The government doesn't do anything."

The chaotic scene made the policemen who were waiting there at a loss. Policemen are human beings, and policemen also have relatives and friends. Naturally, they also know cancer patients. Even, some policemen themselves have cancer.

Because there were also demonstrations in the urban area, the travel of the ambulance was greatly disturbed. When the ambulance arrived at the airport, the terminal cancer patient who fainted died on the spot due to some complications. die.

American journalists, who are not afraid of things, faithfully sent these shots to televisions in thousands of households across the United States.

For a moment, the entire United States seemed to quiet down. Then, they erupted even more angrily than before.

When the demonstration team is getting bigger and bigger, an emergency meeting is going on in the White House.

Some MPs resolutely said: "I think that New Tuvalu's move is just to allow us to lift part of the sanctions against them. How can there be such a coincidence? Not long after we sanctioned them, they studied A cure for cancer, or a cure for it?"

Another congressman retorted: "But their king said that if the treatment fails, they will pay a cash compensation of 100,000 US dollars."

"He has money, he is willful. Moreover, he can use the excuse that the treatment has not been completed to delay the payment of this kind of compensation. If he said that the treatment will take three years, then who knows if there will be a cure after three years What about cancer?"

The reasoning of this congressman instantly made it impossible for others to refute.

Yes, they only said that cancer can be cured, but they did not say how long the treatment will take. If it is really like this, it will take three years or even longer, and those patients with advanced cancer may have died. At that time, who will be compensated for the so-called 100,000 US dollars?

When the meeting fell into a brief silence, someone quietly walked into the meeting room, and then whispered a few words in the president's ear.

The president's complexion changed instantly, and he said, "The question now is not whether he has developed a cure for cancer, but whether we should lift the flight ban immediately."

Under the puzzled eyes of other congressmen, the president's secretary directly turned on the TV in the conference room, and then locked on the ABC TV station.
