Under President Bush's thunderous outburst, all the aides in the Oval Office were silent, and even breathed a little lighter. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and finally it was CIA Director William Webster who stood up and said carefully.

"Mr. President, we must continue the war. The Gulf crisis is a rare opportunity to control the world's energy supply in the hands of the United States, and I believe you know this better than I do. ”

Bush turned pale and nodded. He himself is an oil tycoon and knows very well that the use of force by the United States against Iraq has nothing to do with justice at all.

"If we can't control OPEC and instead let the Arab League exert influence in the peace process this time, then the Middle East countries will inevitably turn to the Arab League next. Then the price of OPEC will be in their hands, and the price of oil will probably rise to thirty to forty dollars, all the way to the marginal cost of new energy development. And at this price, the USSR will once again become our most dangerous adversary. If we abandon Iraq, all the Cold War gains made by the United States so far will be lost. ”

At this point, Bush finally calmed down, looked at William Webster and nodded: "Then what is your opinion? Saddam Hussein has already surrendered, what else can he do?"

William Webster's eyes flickered and he gritted his teeth.

He knew that when these words came out of his mouth, he would probably be thrown out by Bush next.

But when he thought about the people who wanted him to say this, he really didn't have the courage to say "no." He's just the CIA director, not Hoover.

However, he is the only person in the Oval Office who is qualified to say this. In other words, only he has the qualifications to carry the blame.

When I think about it, I really don't know whether I should be happy or depressed.

But even losing the position of CIA director is not the end of the world for William Webster. There is a place for a dog ticket in a private company outside, waiting in line for him to choose.

This damn civil servant life, whoever loves to do it, do it. I'm done with this vote, and I'm ready to retire.

Regardless of William Webster's mood now, he could only show an expression of sparing his life for the country, and he was about to recite a poem.

However, similar to the treatment of that poem, his words today are destined to go down in history.

"Mr. President!"

William Webster took a deep breath and said bravely: "We still have 400,000 troops and 1,500 warplanes in the Gulf. Our ground forces are the elite of the perennial confrontation with the Soviet Union in Europe, and our naval combat power has already surpassed the combined combat power of Iraq's air force. ”

"Even if there are no other countries, we can punish Iraq!"

In the oval room, there was silence.

Bush looked at William Webster with some surprise, while the others looked at him with expressions that were basically the same as "this is a madman."

"Mr. President. ”

William Webster swallowed and emphasized, "This is the mission that history has given you, and the United States needs you to make such a decision, and the people of the United States need you to make such a decision." Although the current public opinion may be somewhat unfavorable to you, as long as the price of oil can be controlled, the United States will surely win the Cold War, and history will naturally give you the evaluation it deserves. ”

William Webster's impassioned enthusiasm did not have any impact on Bush, he was a president, and Mr. Bush's ability to make speeches and fool people was so high that he did not know where else.

However, when the word "people" came out of William Webster's mouth, Bush was taken aback.

He glanced at William Webster's face a little strangely, as if he wanted to see something in his face. What does this "people" mean? Does it simply mean the people? Or does it mean something?

Thinking of William Webster's background, Bush cannot but ponder deeply at this particular critical moment. If it is what they mean, then it really cannot be left unconsidered......

Seeing Bush's thoughtful expression, White House Chief of Staff Stamp was frightened. He hurriedly stood up and said nervously: "Mr. President, you can't give such an order! According to Iraq's combat strength, our unilateral actions will inevitably pay a great price." We have no moral advantage in attacking Iraq even though Saddam Hussein expressed his willingness to surrender. All the families of the U.S. troops who fought in the war will be treated as you pushing their families into battle for next year's election......"

Oh, next year's election looks like the man can lie down and win. Seriously, Clinton didn't give Mr. Hu a ton of medals, are you embarrassed?

The White House chief of staff is the president's true own person, and every president will appoint his chief of staff, who is an absolute cronie and confidant, and the person he trusts the most.

Similarly, if the president of the United States is replaced, Stamp will also be far away from the center of power in the White House.

Bush is torn between a rock and a hard place.

Who wouldn't want to sit on the presidency of the United States for another four years? This is the most powerful man on earth, and he is basically the pinnacle of the human cause.

However, in the United States, there is such a group of people that even the president cannot provoke. They decide who becomes president and where the country is headed.

The energy consortium is Bush's basic plan, which has offended these big capitalists, and he will be equally useless in next year's election.

And if the order is given, the US military fights unilaterally. Oh my God, that's basically political suicide!

The left is also dead, and the right is also dead. Bush is not President Underwood, and he doesn't have the ability to survive in desperate situations!

Realizing his situation, Bush sat indifferently on the presidential throne for a while. Then he waved his hand and kicked everyone out.

Only then did Bush show his reluctant eyes when the strange-looking crowd left.

He gently touched the president's resolute table, from one nail in the corner of the table to another, and touched every corner of the table. Then I took a closer look at the office that I had worked in for four years, and everything here was still as good as new!

Look at the couch, look at the family photos that have just hung on the wall, look at the books on the shelves that you haven't had time to look at......

Bush knows that he may not be able to get out of this office for the next four years.

Thinking of this, he quietly lit a cigarette. Then take a deep breath and hold the cigarette butt in your hand.

His gaze fell on the American flag behind him, which consisted of fifty five-pointed stars and thirteen red and white stripes. They represent fifty states and thirteen colonies, as well as courage, truth, and justice.

Well, on this banner, there has never been a place for the people.

No matter how much the GI's family members cried, Bush could not hear it. If they can't make their voices heard, then it's equivalent to not existing.

Thinking of this, Bush's hand caressed the flag, and then picked out a star. He held the cigarette butt in his other hand and scalded a hole in the middle of the star.

Since you can't get it, destroy it!

From the beginning, this was a country built on lies. The founding sages of the country were able to deceive the sage of the country for hundreds of years with the nonsense lie of "I can't afford to drink tea, so I rebelled", and even the whole world believed it - tea is not a necessity, and if the tax is high, can people die if they don't drink it?

This only shows one thing, that the United States has never been a moral saint, and history is not written by saints, but by victors.

In fact, this decision did not make Bush hesitate for long, sending soldiers to the battlefield, and Bush only lost the next four-year term, but the Bush family is still a prominent presidential family. And if they offend the energy consortium, the Bush family will probably be removed from the upper class of the United States. How to choose, isn't it very simple?

Half an hour later, Bush, who had regained calm, gathered all his staff and cabinet members to announce his decision. His tone was calm, as if he was telling something that had nothing to do with him.

"I have already decided, and I will not accept Saddam's four-point demand. If Iraq wants peace, it must accept my four-point demand. ”

"One, three days to withdraw from all Kuwaiti territory. Second, Saddam Hussein was handed over to the United States for trial. Third, the presence of troops in Iraq. Fourth, the Iraqi government was dissolved and the United States supervised the democratic re-election. I can give Saddam Hussein another 12 hours to think about it, and after 12 hours, the US military will resume the offensive!"

"Pick me up Schwarzkopf, he should be ready for battle!"

Bush's response to the peace talks was soon made public to the whole world. And the media of all countries in the world, in the face of these four demands, even lost their voices for a short time.

It is not known how to evaluate these four requirements.

If it is said that Saddam's peace talks are full of sincerity.

Then Bush's condition is complete humiliation and no sincerity.

At the UN General Assembly during the day on the 15th, the Soviet Union led a vote of Middle Eastern countries and spat on the US ambassador.

However, the American ambassador, with a blank face, did not say a word.

The phrase "sometimes embarrassingly can always find the fingerprints of the President of the United States on smuggled weapons" probably refers to this kind of tearing face.

The five major congresses of the United Nations are really shameless, and no one can do anything about it.

The world situation is like a roller coaster, two days ago the war had struck, but at night it seemed that peace was only one step away. Then in the morning, the world fell back into the abyss of war.

After learning of Bush's reply, Saddam Hussein persuaded diplomats from various countries and Mubarak, who had been trying to make a last-ditch effort.

Immediately afterwards, the Iraqi army re-entered its positions.

The radar is turned on and the plane lifts into the air. The Republican Guard went into offensive positions, machine guns, automatic rifles, pistols, all weapons were ready to be fired.

Iraqi soldiers are determined to defend their country. Although, perhaps, it doesn't work.
