On January 20, the inauguration of the new President of the United States, Ronald Reagan, will take place.

Previously, according to major media reports, more than 800,000 Americans will go to Washington to attend the inauguration ceremony of the new president.

Of course, these people can only stand outside the Capitol.

The only people who can go to the innermost are specially invited special guests.

Early in the morning, Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush and their families went to the Anglican Cathedral of St. John near the White House to pray.

After praying, the group returned to the White House, where Ronald Reagan met with incumbent President Jimmy Carter for a cup of coffee, and then the two men each drove to the Capitol with their wives.

And Xia Yu also came to the special guest seat at a specific time with a special invitation.

Around him were ambassadors to the United States, congressional leaders attending the ceremony, and key supporters.

Xia Yu such a yellow-skinned young man appeared here, which made the people around him look sideways, Xia Yu also saw the Chinese ambassador to the United States smiling and nodding at him, but Xia Yu keenly found that the Chinese ambassador to the United States had a look of surprise in his eyes.

Xia Yu knows very well that after the inauguration, it is estimated that he will immediately report to the above to reposition Xia Yu's influence and relationship with the incoming new President Ronald Reagan.

You must know that on this occasion, in addition to the ambassadors of Asian countries to the United States, there is only one yellow-skinned person, Xia Yu, who is definitely a scorpion - the only one!

It is believed that in addition to the Chinese ambassador to the United States, ambassadors of other countries will also collect information about Xia Yu, and everyone who may have a relationship with the US president is the object of their close attention.

Xia Yu could guess this, but he was happy to do so.

He just doesn't like to be high-profile in front of ordinary people, but it is definitely beneficial to be at the highest level of the countries.

And the more the mainland attaches importance to him, the better he can mix in the future!

Time flies.

At 11:30 a.m. Washington time, the inauguration officially began.

The U.S. Marine Corps Band opened the ceremony with the opening song as inaugural master of ceremonies Colby Foster stood in front of the microphone to introduce the presidents, then the families of Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush, as well as the congressional leaders of each ceremony.

Then he introduced George W. Bush and, finally, Ronald Reagan, the most important man at the inauguration.

The entire inauguration took half an hour.

When the time finally came to 12 o'clock in the afternoon, more than 800,000 people outside the Capitol were all silent.

Because they know that the most critical time has come!

In the midst of all the attention, George W. Bush and his family walked to the center of the rostrum to take the oath of office as the 40th vice president of the United States, and the swearing-in ceremony was presided over by Justice Thurgood Marshall.

The first-ever African-American Supreme Court justice was appointed by President Lyndon B. Johnson on October 2, 1967.

To date, this is the fourth time he has served as the presiding officer of the inauguration of the President of the United States.

After George W. Bush took the solemn oath, Ronald Reagan and his family came to the center of the stage in anticipation, his wife Nancy Davis Reagan wore gloves and held a Bible given to him by his mother when he was a child.

"I swear an oath, I pray for the blessing of 'God'......"

Seeing this scene, especially the Bible pressed by Ronald Reagan's left hand, Xia Yu showed a faint smile on his face, feeling a little interesting.

This is the United States, which proclaims freedom and democracy, and the tradition of the American president taking the oath by hand according to the Bible began with the first president, George Washington.

Of course, this tradition is not mandated by the U.S. Constitution, but simply because Washington, the founding father of the United States, was a godly Christian who believed that American independence was the grace of "God" and kissed the Bible and swore an oath with his hand at the presidential inauguration.

Since then, every president has done the same thing to show respect for Washington and to keep himself in office.

Not only that, but every U.S. president since then has been a Christian, and when running for president, presidential candidates emphasize their Christian beliefs, otherwise they have little chance of winning.

For these things, how to say, Xia Yu can only say that it is interesting, and there is no offense and contempt, after all, every place has its own cultural traditions.

For example, the motorcycle stacking Arhat in the Indian military parade is very distinctive in Xia Yu's opinion, which makes people impressed after watching it once, and they can't forget [Dog Head].

After the inaugural speech, the content of the major media attention came.

Ronald Reagan announced the names of the new US cabinet and the White House.

The cabinet team includes Vice President George W. Bush.

Secretary of State: Alexander Meggs Haig, former commander of the U.S. European Command.

Secretary of Defense: Casper Willard Weinberg.

Attorney General: William French Smith.

Secretary of the Treasury: Donald Reagan.

Home Secretary: James M. G. Watt.

Secretary of Commerce: Myrkomu Baldridge.

Secretary of Labor: Raymond M. J. Donovan.

Secretary of Energy: James M. B. Edwards.

......

The cabinet was largely decided after the struggle between the Republicans and the Democrats, and most of them were Republican members.

And in the White House team, the personnel are all determined by Ronald Reagan.

Jim Baker unsurprisingly became the White House chief of staff.

The more important one remains: White House press secretary James Brady.

Director of the White House Council of Economic Advisers: John Rutledge.

Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs: Richard Allen.

Director of the White House Office of Administration and Budget: David Stockman.

Senior Adviser to the President of the White House: Rhodes Saxon.

......

There are a total of twenty-three senior members of the White House, and all twenty-three of them have a prefix - assistant to the president.

Although Rhodes Saxon relied on Xia Yu's guidance to perform prominently this month, winning the favor of Ronald Reagan, and also having Xia Yu's support.

But the time is still too short, and there is still no competition for John Rutledge, and he has not won the position of director of the White House Economic Committee.

Still, he was among the top White House officials and was offered the position of senior adviser to the president.

Not only that, it seems that in order to give Rhodes Saxon a fairer platform, and also to give Xia Yu an explanation, Rhodes Saxon, a senior economic adviser, also has his own team, not competing with the White House Council of Economic Advisers headed by John Rutledge.

In Xia Yu's view, the difference is only that the White House can only have one sign of the Council of Economic Advisers, and if there are two, it is estimated that Ronald Reagan will give each of the two of them one.

But this is obviously impossible, unless Ronald Reagan wants to be ridiculed by the major media.

Xia Yu also noticed a special person, that is, Ronald Reagan's former butler William W. J. Casey, not only a member of the White House, took the post of CIA director.

Not only that, but he was also allowed to sit in the cabinet and was apparently Ronald Reagan's henchman!

After Ronald Reagan's inauguration, a luncheon was officially held inside the Capitol, and all the people who could enter were special guests, and the American crowd outside was, of course, going back to their homes.

However, because Ronald Reagan had to hold an inaugural parade after the luncheon, the luncheon would naturally not last long, and Xia Yu was simply approached to communicate after eating a little, and many people were interested in him and wanted to get acquainted with him first.

Xia Yu will not go to the inaugural parade in the afternoon, and after the luncheon, he will return to the mansion purchased by Washington.

Just as Ronald Reagan began his inaugural march, the new U.S. administration appointed by Ronald Reagan was officially operational.

The first executive order signed by Ronald Reagan was formally implemented, and Executive Order 12287 announced the lifting of oil price and distribution controls.

The most obvious purpose of this executive order is to target the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, and it is obvious that the US government and the oil conglomerates and Wall Street capitalists behind it want to have greater control over the current oil market, further forge US oil hegemony, and at the same time solve the US inflation problem.

In the past, the U.S. government was in need of controlling inflation and ensuring energy security, and implemented strict and cumbersome oil price control measures, which weakened the U.S. oil rights, increased the vulnerability of U.S. oil security, and limited the room for maneuver in U.S. foreign policy.

According to the provisions of the executive order, this executive order will be formally implemented on January 28, when the price of US oil will be truly in line with the price of world oil, then the price of US oil will be completely dominated by the market.

But who is in charge, it is difficult to say, after all, the oil countries have been broken by the United States a lot, and the oil of many countries has been pegged to the dollar!

Although it will take eight days for this decree to be implemented, Song Yang, Xue He and others from the Galaxy Fund Company in front of the TV are already excited.

They were curious for a day and the result turned out to be this, which can definitely stimulate a wave of oil prices in the United States.

Sure enough, when they went to see the price of oil futures, it had already begun to skyrocket, and the upward momentum was several times higher than before.

It easily broke through the $34/barrel line and quickly climbed to $35/barrel.

In a short period of time, the oil futures of the Galaxy Fund have increased their floating profit by 100 million US dollars.

When Song Yang, Xue He and others were keeping an eye on the price of oil futures.

Another piece of news from CNN News that spurred the American public to cheer for Ronald Reagan was Iran's announcement of the release of the American hostages it had previously held.

Xia Yu knew that this was agreed between the Republican Party and the Iranian top level a long time ago, in order to further enhance Ronald Reagan's prestige.

As the sun sets, Washingtonians have no choice but to shift their celebrations from outdoor to indoors.

Xia Yu wore a suit and leather shoes, took an invitation letter, and drove to the Washington Convention Center.

PS: This chapter is too difficult to write, after all, it's a pity that I didn't make it to Reagan's inaugurationo(╯□╰)o

It's the end of the month, ask for a ticket!
