The inquiry meeting was held in Congress. With the order of the president of the House, everyone returned to their seats and began to prepare for the meeting.

The meeting was very lengthy. It started with a bunch of official documents praising the heroic deeds in the last war and highlighting the wise leadership of Congress. After that, the next war was mentioned.

Su Bai thought, here it comes, finally we are at the main topic, it's my turn!.

"Next, we invite Lieutenant General Su Bai, the hero who defeated the Siren fleet, killed the Siren leader, and twice penetrated the center of the Siren camp, to speak for everyone!

"Su Bai walked up to the podium with a confident smile,"Dear congressmen, generals, I am a little nervous standing here.

Everyone present, you are all elites of the United States.

I think everyone knows about the several battles we fought with the Sirens, so I will not repeat them.

I will just talk about my understanding of the Sirens and my guess about their ambitions!

"

"Before I came here, someone once suggested to me that I should describe the Sirens as a little weaker, so that everyone would be more resolute in going to war with them. But I am a soldier, and if I really did that, it would be against my professional ethics!"

"I can tell you clearly that Siren is very strong! It is difficult for me to tell you exactly how strong she is, but I can guess based on what I have seen and heard!"

"How many warships do they have? This is actually not important. What is important is that they have the freedom to travel on the seabed. In other words, unless we have a major breakthrough in technology and can find the Siren's base on the seabed, we will definitely be at a disadvantage."

"The Sirens have taken over all of Africa, almost all of South America, and most of Atlantis! If we don't recognize the Sirens' power, then we humans are in danger!"

"What is the ambition of the Siren? I don't know their upper limit, but the lower limit is very clear, which is to occupy the entire southern hemisphere and take one-third of the planet 21!"

After hearing Su Bai's words, everyone started to clamor.

"Too arrogant!"

"These fishman cubs really want to die!"...

The speaker had to stand up to maintain order,"Silence! Silence!"

Su Bai stretched out his hand to signal that he would continue,"Yes, they will definitely do this. Think about it, if it wasn't for the coincidence last time, our state of Hawaii would be gone!"

Of course, the congressmen below knew about the Battle of Hawaii, and they also began to believe Su Bai's judgment.

"Before I came here today, I heard a ridiculous joke, discussing whether to go to war or not? I almost laughed. Do we want war or not? War has come to our country! Gentlemen, do you know? Hawaii is our land, and 300,000 fish people have attacked, burned a large number of buildings, and killed thousands of residents. Are we still discussing whether to go to war or not?"

"It's ridiculous!"

Su Bai's speech resonated with all the military generals. They raised their arms almost at the same time,"War! War!"

Su Bai stopped everyone from speaking,"Generals, I understand your feelings, but whether to start a war is decided by the great and wise members of Congress, not us. What we should do is to wait until Congress approves the war and then reap the fruits of victory!"

Everyone, including congressmen and soldiers, applauded.

When the applause stopped, a senior congressman said sinisterly,"Lieutenant General Su Bai, your speech is very inflammatory, but I must ask you, why should we go to distant Atlantis and use the blood of our own people to take advantage of others!"

Su Bai glanced at the congressman and laughed heartily.

"Dear Congressman, I don't know your full name, please allow me to call you Mr. James."

"I don't know if Mr. James has ever heard of this saying: a war that occurs in one's own country is called a war, and a war that occurs abroad is just a military action!"

"If we go to war with the Sirens in Atlantis, then except for the sacrifice of soldiers, all other losses will be borne by them. But if the Sirens land in Los Angeles or New York, have you thought about the loss?"

All the congressmen changed color. Most of them have their own interests in these two cities. If these two places are attacked by the enemy, they will never give in.

A congressman stood up indignantly,"Young man, please don't exaggerate. My White Eagle Country is the world's number one power. These fishmen really dare to do this?"

Su Bai smiled faintly,"Dear congressman, if you don't have amnesia, you should not forget that it is not a question of whether they dare or not, but that they have already done it. Were their attacks on the Atlans Islands and Hawaii Island fake?"

"But it is only an overseas territory after all."

"Mr. Congressman, I would like to ask you to be careful with your words! Hawaii is a legal state of the United States, it is not an overseas territory!"

"They dare to attack Hawaii, do they take our country seriously? They dare to attack Hawaii just to use it as a springboard to attack Los Angeles!"

The congressman sat down awkwardly. He was indeed anxious. He was only concerned with refuting Su Bai, but ignored some basic common sense.

Su Bai coughed lightly, reminding the congressmen below to keep quiet,"I remind everyone that this war is not a question of whether it should be fought or not, but it is already here!"

Another congressman stood up,"Dear Lieutenant General Su Bai, I heard that you went deep into Atlantis this time to rescue Princess Youlan, is this true?"

"have!"

"Haha, I understand you, Mr. Su Bai. The beautiful princess was captured by the dragon, and the brave knight went to rescue her. In the end, the princess fell in love with the knight. What a sad and beautiful love story!"

"But, do you dare to say that you have no selfish motives? Are you saving Atlantis for the sake of the country or for your lover? If you drag the entire country into a protracted war for your own selfishness, it is absolutely a crime."There was a lot of discussion in the audience, and many people who originally supported Su Bai began to doubt Su Bai's motives and purposes.

Could this kid be fascinated by Princess Youlan?

"I request that Mr. Su Bai recuse himself!"

The Speaker looked at Su Bai,"Lieutenant General Su Bai, do you have anything else to say? If not, I will follow the law and ask you to recuse yourself!"

Su Bai smiled faintly. As expected, I knew you would mention this. Fortunately, I was well prepared, otherwise I would have been fooled by you!

Su Bai bowed to the Speaker,"Dear Speaker Duran, precisely because of my close relationship with Princess Youlan, I need to clarify some facts for everyone here."

There was an uproar in the audience. This guy shamelessly admitted that he had a close relationship with the princess, and he still had the nerve to stand on the stage?

The congressman who had just questioned Su Bai sneered,"Lieutenant General Su Bai, your thick skin makes me dumbfounded. Can you give a reason?"

"Of course, because I had a deal with the princess when I was in Atlantis Island, I know her, and I can speak on her behalf!"

"Haha, you still have the nerve to say that you sold a small island in the Atlans Islands to Princess Youlan. You are a traitor! Are you going to sell out the interests of the United States for this woman again?"

Su Bai laughed,"Mr. Congressman, I heard the word you said very keenly, interest, right?"

"Yes, this is not a personal interest, it is the interest of the United States! I don't think you can represent the interests of the United States now!"

"Well said, the interests of the United States! Then tell me, did our interests suffer when we rented the island to Princess Youlan last time?"

"Everyone here, have your spouses or daughters used Whale Orchid No. 9 perfume? Have you not used the various goods traded between the Ghost Alliance and us? This trade has brought benefits to both sides! This is the interest of our United States. The right to use a deserted island has brought huge trade between the two sides. Is this a loss?"

"Haha, Mr. Su Bai, please don't change the subject. We did make a profit in that deal. But this time, how are you going to protect our interests?"

"Dear Congressman, please take a seat. Let me answer your questions and those of all the gentlemen present."

"Interests! I must put this word first, whether it is the respected congressmen or us soldiers. Everything we do is for a common goal, the interests of the United States! I believe everyone agrees on this point!"

The audience applauded.

Su Bai continued,"I will not make inflammatory speeches. I will analyze the pros and cons of fighting and not fighting. Let's first discuss the situation of not fighting. If our powerful army does not intervene, the Aurel Empire will inevitably perish, and Atlantis will also fall. Everyone has no objection to this, right?"

Of course not. Su Bai's statement satisfied everyone present. My White Eagle Country is the best in the world. Without us, this planet will not even turn. This is the confidence and arrogance of the White Eagle people.

"Okay! Then we analyze the situation according to the two cases: the Sirens stop expanding and the Sirens do not stop expanding. If the Sirens stop expanding, it looks good, right? But think about it, they occupy the whole of Africa, Atlantis and South America! What a terrible force this is!"

"The resources they have will be several times ours, and the population will be several times ours! With such a force, a tight organization and impressive technological power, do you think our White Eagle is still the best in the world? In a few years, we will have to shout that the Siren is the best in the world!"

"I will never allow this to happen!"A burly man stood up and waved his arms.

"Is this Mr. Morente from Texas? Please take a seat. You are right. We will never allow this to happen. If the United States loses its position as the world's number one in our generation, we will be nailed to the pillar of shame and will never get down."

"Even if our descendants can take back this position, they will think we are incompetent!"

"Never allowed!"

"war!"

"Please stop for a moment, we are just discussing possibilities. There is another possibility, that is, after the Sirens seize Atlantis, they will not stop their steps, they will reach out to a more distant place. Where will it be?"

Su Bai smiled and spread his hands,"Maybe the respected gods know this, but we can only rely on speculation. Asia? Europe? Or North America?"

"Sorry, at this point, it is not us who have the final say, but the Siren! Dear members of parliament, are you willing to hand over your fate to the enemy?"

"Not willing!"

"We absolutely do not allow this!"......

Su Bai pressed his hands down, revealing a very determined expression,"Yes, our ancestors, relying on 800 guns, dared to confront the then number one British Empire head-on in Lexington. Should we still be afraid of these fishmen now? We were able to defeat them fifty years ago, and we can still do it now!"

Many congressmen were inspired by Su Bai's words and began to clamor,"War! War!"

But there were also mature and prudent congressmen who would not be inspired by this atmosphere.

A gray-haired congressman stood up,"Dear Lieutenant General Su Bai, can't we negotiate with the Sirens?"

"Of course, the condition proposed by Siren will be very simple, that is, the entire southern hemisphere. Can you agree?"

"this......Can't they give in?"

"Mr. Congressman, you should know a little about history. Can you get something from the negotiating table that you can't get on the battlefield?"

"Even if the Sirens are willing to negotiate peace, their domination of the Southern Hemisphere is the minimum requirement. What if they make territorial demands on our country? For example, ceding Hawaii, or giving up control of the Philippines and Guam. Can you agree to it?"

Of course not. The old congressman sat down dejectedly. He certainly knew that Su Bai was not exaggerating. How could anyone spit out what he had eaten?

The debate on whether to fight or not was basically over. At this time, the Speaker announced a temporary break and asked everyone to discuss it carefully for a while and continue in the afternoon.

Su Bai was about to leave the venue when he was stopped by Eisenhower and MacArthur.

"Brat, you didn't do what we said, I was very worried at first, but I didn't expect you could convince these stubborn old men."

Su Bai was not happy, he said solemnly,"No, it's not that simple, there is another point, why help Atlantis instead of rescuing South America? I need to discuss this with Princess Youlan in detail before we can get any real results. You two, I'm going to leave first!"

Eisenhower and MacArthur looked at Su Bai's receding back, both of them admired,"This little guy may become the hope of the United States in the future"

"It's a pity that he is of Donghuang descent, it would be great if he was Anglo-Saxon!".
