Ulysses has had a very bleak life in recent days, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a betrayal of relatives, he has been in power for many years, and before that, he was the president of the United States who is very likely to have three or more terms in non-war times, and the party is rich, it can be said that it is all over the United States, the army, the government, the courts, Congress, Ulysses can easily make his own voice, full of prestige, although the United States is a country with a separation of powers, but in fact, the real separation of powers cannot really exist, the president is the president, there is no doubt that the first power figure in the United States, affecting the overall situation, as for how much it can influence, it depends on the strength of the president。

Ulysses is undoubtedly a very strong president, for several years, he has carefully woven a network of relationships that is so large that no one except himself is afraid that no one knows it anymore, and all aspects can be easily taken care of, if nothing else, even if Ulysses retreats, with this network, he can still quickly build a wealthy family of his own, but all this has been completely changed because of the terrorist attack a few days ago.

No one can describe the extent to which the terrorist attack hit Ulysses's prestige, if his previous prestige was still at its peak, then once the terrorist attack was over, his prestige was completely equivalent to falling directly to the bottom.

It's a fall!

It's not slippery, there is not the slightest process, it falls straight down.

The network of contacts he has operated for many years is disintegrating at a speed that is visible to the naked eye, and in various state capitals, major cities, military generals, senior congressmen, and judges, in the past few days, there have been high-ranking officials on different occasions with implicit or blunt almost harsh voices, expressing doubts and incomprehension about the decisions made by the White House at the time of the terrorist attack.

Among them were even U.S. officials personally promoted by Ulysses.

And the doubts of the outside world are undoubtedly a sharp knife inserted in Ulysses's heart, which not only stabbed Ulysses with blood, but also cut his network of contacts in pieces.

Coupled with the anger of the outside public, the condemnation of the media, and the chaos of the situation, for a time Ulysses went from a very strong president to an extremely weak president, except for a few henchmen, there was no longer any useful manpower.

The cruelty of politics is vividly displayed.

However, Ulysses is not wrong about one thing, no matter how noisy and angry the outside world is, and no matter how many senior officials do not understand the behavior of the White House, Ulysses is now sitting in the position of president, which can be called stable, and in such a chaotic situation, even the presidential candidates who were crazy and eager for the presidential position before have invariably maintained silence on the table, and even joined forces to postpone the time of the presidential election, and everyone invariably intends to let Ulysses stay in his current position, so that he can withstand the overwhelming pressure from the outside world, and in privateThe-for-tat drama of the candidates forming gangs has reached its climax, and one by one American politicians who are currently eager to draw a line with Ulysses have been drawn under the command of each candidate.

Puppet!

If this continues, Ulysses will undoubtedly become a puppet standing on the table to attract firepower.

It's just that at this moment, the president of the United States, who seems destined to be a puppet, does not look desperate.

For three days, the tremendous pressure made Ulysses look a lot haggard, but the act of still staying in the office and burying his head in the middle of the night was enough to tell the people who were waiting to see him perform the most intuitive truth.

He hasn't given up yet.

Ulysses is writing a statement by hand.

Although he was now more down, his secretary was still loyal and willing to serve Ulysses, but he pushed away the secretary and did it himself, which shows how important this statement was written after three days of silence.

The lights inside the president's office are bright.

The quaint wall clock against the wall was ticking, and there was a hint of gloom in the silence of the White House late at night, Ulysses crouched at his desk, holding the pen in his hand with a serious expression, writing every word very slowly and seriously.

He doesn't seem to write very smoothly, often stopping, staring out the window and thinking for a while, and then continuing to write.

In addition to him, there was a middle-aged American man who looked about fifty years old in the office, not tall, he could be called an obese figure, round, he sat quietly on the sofa, quietly, but his eyes kept flashing, looking at Ulysses in front of him.

Time passed in silence.

Two o'clock in the morning.

Ulysses finally sighed, put down the pen in his hand, and read the statement he had just written again, before he raised his head, looked at the fat man in front of him, and smiled: "Justin, do you know why I called you?"

Justin Harker.

At Washington Don, this is definitely a thunderous name, the founder of Angel Media, one of the media giants in the United States!

If you look at the whole United States, the Huck family is not even a first-line family, but in the field of media, there are not many people who can shake the status of the Huck family for decades, Angel Media has a history of more than 50 years, has the most sound platform in the United States, and has more than 20 newspapers, 15 television stations, 36 audio radio stations and more than 100 magazines are serving the Huck family.

One of the media giants!

The Huck family may not be the biggest media giant in the United States, but if you want to bring your voice to the capital and major cities of the United States, Angel Media is definitely one of the best choices.

And Ulysses chose Justin Huack, in addition to the influence of Angel Media, the most important thing is Justin's loyalty to him.

This is a credible person.

"Does the president need me to speak for you?"

Hearing Ulysses's question, Justin owed slightly, and said in a respectful tone: "If that's the case, then there's no problem at all, Angel Media is willing to serve the president." ”

In the past three days, when the major media were bombarding the White House and bombarding Ulysses, Angel Media was also not idle, venting its anger about the terrorist attack in the condemnation of its peers, and the wording of many articles was extremely sharp, but few people noticed that when other media strongly condemned the White House, Angel Media's attention was always locked on the essence of the terrorist attack.

That's why terrorists are carrying out terrorist attacks in the United States, who they are, what are their reasons, and who are they told to do.

After all, most of the American people and media do not have a deep hatred with the White House, they are angry at the president's incompetence at the same time, and they hate terrorists as much, so similar articles, not only Angel Media, but also other media.

As for those who come up and don't even denounce Ulysses for his incompetence, think that he is an American sinner, but don't say a word about terrorists, they know with their butts that it is Ulysses' political enemies who are seizing the opportunity to attack.

"That's right, that's it, Justin, my friend, I'm in a very bad situation right now, and I need your help. ”

Ulysses smiled and handed the statement written in his hand to Justin, and said lightly: "Tomorrow morning, I want this statement to appear on the front page of major cities in the United States, if you are willing to do it, then this is the greatest help to me." ”

"Yes, I can do it, no problem at all. ”

Justin smiled confidently, took Ulysses' statement, looked down, didn't pay attention at first, and after scanning a few lines, he was suddenly stunned.

He narrowed his eyes, as if he didn't believe what he was seeing, and leaned the document closer to him, reading it again, finally convinced of the contents of the statement.

Justin's expression changed instantly, he stood up with the statement in his hand, looked at Ulysses with a calm expression on his face in shock, and stammered: "President, you"

"What? Did I embarrass you?"

Ulysses asked quietly.

"No!"

Justin subconsciously shook his head, the hand holding the statement trembled slightly, he was a little incredulous, and said in a dry voice: "President, you know, the consequences of doing this are for you"

"I can totally handle it. ”

Ulysses smiled and lit a cigarette, and said in a relaxed tone: "In this situation, I have nothing to bear, right? So, the only key now is whether you are willing to help me?"

Justin's expression changed, and it was uncertain, and after a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, I can do what you ask, but Mr. President, I need you to keep me and my family safe." ”

"Of course. ”

Ulysses smiled pleasantly, "You are my friend, and I need to keep you safe." ”

He stood up from his seat, took the initiative to stretch out his hand, and said with a smile: "Well, happy cooperation, friend." ”

"I think this is the worst collaboration I've ever had with you. ”

Justin Huck smiled wryly, reached out and shook Ulysses' large, powerful hand, and turned and walked out of the room.

The time frame for this statement to be published in major cities in the United States at dawn is very tight, and with the time difference between the east and west of the United States, he has not much time left, and now he must step up the arrangements.

Ulysses sat back in his seat, looking at Justin's somewhat lost back, squinting his eyes as if he were looking at a dead man.

The only trace of pity in his eyes was quickly replaced by the indifference and cruelty that belonged to politicians.

In this world, many times, it may be just some small people who can't get on the stage that change the situation.

Justin picked up the pen on the table and scribbled two words on a snow-white A4 piece of paper.

War. Cannon fodder.

The former is talking about the current situation, and the latter is undoubtedly talking about Justin Harker, the American media giant.

He thought about it, crossed out the two words again, and rewrote two words.

Active. Passive.

Ulysses took the pen, nodded the tip of his nose on the word active, leaned back in his chair, took a sip of his coffee, leaned back in his chair, and fell into deep thought.

Under the bright light, the eyes of the president of the United States, who often appears in front of the world as a majestic image, seem to be covered with a layer of darkness, looking gloomy and terrifying

Half an hour late, the card is terrible
