Chapter 1596 - Don't Talk to You Again
"Mr. Lin, do you have any questions?" President Bush asked calmly.
Since Lin Feng's question could not be avoided, President Bush also calmed down in a short time. Once there is a calmdown, President Bush will naturally have no worries at all. Although Lin Feng is very magical and has a good mouth, this time he is discussing the national situation of the United States, and what qualifications does Lin Feng, a pure businessman, have to debate with him in the field he is good at. Lin Feng will bring humiliation on himself this time.
Lin Feng smiled slightly.
"Mr. Bush, my question is actually very simple. What is the American spirit?" Lin Feng asked with a smile.
Bush let out a long breath. This kind of problem, then it's very simple.
"The United States, strictly speaking, is a country with a very short culture and history, but we have a perfect social system, advanced science and technology, a huge economic exhibition, and a top military level...... We are a great country that deserves to be. In many ways, we in the United States are indeed a country like no other, and many of these phenomena have to do with the characteristics of the founding history of the United States of America. If it is well understood and grasped, it is necessary to go back to the founding process to find the source. Since the signing of the Mayflower Convention, its "organization of civic associations and the formulation of just laws, decrees, rules and regulations" has laid the foundation for the states of England (England is the northeastern part of the United States). A religious group called the Purtns was founded in the 16th century as a British colony, and is currently the sum of six American continents: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. The basis of self-government, the United States has had a good foundation from the beginning. And we, the United States, have come out of the hands of the British by war, unlike other countries, such as Australia, which is peaceful and Canada is still called "allegiance to the Queen", while we in the United States, from the beginning, seem destined to have endless disputes or fights, and they seek without Confucian peace. The same was true of the Civil War that followed. The power of recognition must be fought for, even if there will be sacrifices, as long as it is, at least, they think it is. Make up your mind, and then move forward," President Bush began to talk about his history of the United States.
"Of course, I know that the United States is not a perfect country, but I hope that with my efforts and the efforts of all Americans, I can make America a paradise country. A beautiful country that makes mankind all over the world hope!" Bush said with open hands.
There was applause at the scene.
Kerry in the distance shook his head. Lin Feng is adding bricks and tiles to Bush. Isn't it a chance for Bush to show himself by asking such a simple and naïve question? Too naïve, too naïve! Party candidate Kerry sighed.
Originally, he had high hopes for Lin Feng. But at this moment, it seems that his expectations for Lin Feng are still too high, too high. Maybe Lin Feng can call the wind and rain in the business world, but when it comes to politics, then Lin Feng can't.
"Mr. President, what is important to such a strong and peaceful country, and what constitutes the United States today?" Lin Feng asked again.
Bush frowned. This question is a bit deeper, and if you don't answer it, it will affect the outside world's questioning of his presidential level. But fortunately, this problem is not difficult for him.
"What makes America what it is today, is the simple and fair laws, the ideas, and the sacrifice to fight for!" President Bush said.
The scene was full of applause again.
"Alas, why is this Lin Feng, the more he asks, the lower the level of the question, doesn't this give President Bush extra points! If Lin Feng continues to ask like this, there will be no need to conduct presidential elections in the future, and Bush will definitely get a full score! Kerry stared at the TV depressedly. He couldn't wait to turn off the TV at the moment. Looking at it any more, he really didn't have any confidence at all.
Haha, Lin Feng, I'm afraid there are few people on the planet of business who are your opponents, but in terms of business, you are too far behind. Ask, ask, you go ahead and ask 1 - President Bush is full of joy at the moment. Originally, the moderator was ready to stop Lin Feng from continuing to ask questions, but was stopped by President Bush. The more questions asked, the better, and he can express himself. And if others ask this question, the outside world may say that it is President Bush's boasting, but Lin Feng comes to ask, then there is no problem at all.
Because Lin Feng and President Bush do not deal with each other, it is not much of a secret. Ordinary people don't know, but those reporters with great powers still know it, but most of them don't say it. After all, once he said it, the dignified president of the United States could not deal with a Chinese businessman, how humiliating it was. So, from this point of view, you don't look at the United States, in fact, some things are the same. It's only relative.
"President Bush, what is your attitude toward the earth, or toward the United States?" Lin Feng asked again.
Bush was happy. That's a really easy question to answer.
"Regarding the Earth, the planet on which all human beings live, I think it is our duty to make it better as every human being. Whether you are an American, a Chinese, or a German, you all have the right and responsibility to protect this planet. And as a country with a strong and responsible sense of responsibility on this planet, we in the United States have an unshirkable responsibility!" Bush said with a fist clenched.
Applause! Crazy applause rang out from Harvard all around. President Bush's answer shows the domineering spirit of the United States and its confidence as a powerful country in the world. And this is undoubtedly very popular with Harvard and the American people. After all, as an American, I am naturally satisfied with the current global status of the United States. Even if you know in your heart that the current attitude of the United States towards the world is a bit inappropriate, no one will be willing to bring it up.
The party's candidate, John Kerry, can't stand it anymore at the moment. He didn't know whether this Lin Feng was here to praise Bush or to make trouble for Bush today. Aren't you Donald Trump's crazy son-in-law, are you ready to betray your father-in-law and switch to the Bush camp?
Kerry is confused, Donald Trump is confused. He's fainting a little at the moment. He also excitedly opened a bottle of champagne to celebrate Lin Feng's appearance at Harvard University, and booked a banquet for Lin Feng in a luxurious hotel in New York to receive him. Who would have expected that Hou Lin Feng would come up with such an oolong. If he continues to ask like this, he will be completely out of action.
It's a pity that Lin Feng's problems continue.
"Mr. Bush, how do you evaluate the United States today?" Lin Feng asked.
"Strong, prosperous, the more American America has ever been in history, and now the United States is thriving and prosperous. Although Bush knew that Lin Feng's question seemed a bit mysterious, he had to answer this question in this way.
"So, Mr. Bush, how do you evaluate yourself?" Lin Feng asked again.
"I, a person who was voted by the people to become president of the United States, and I am honored that the people of the United States chose me to be the president of the United States. In the past four years, the United States has encountered many difficulties, and I have encountered some troubles of one kind or another, but I, like the American people, have survived strongly. I know that there are still some shortcomings in my work, but I will correct these mistakes over the next four years and lead America to a brighter future. President Bush said with a fist.
Applause rang out again. It seems that this speech has turned into a show before Bush is re-elected as president.
Kerry and Donald Trump are completely speechless. They had been completely defeated by Lin Feng, and they didn't understand why Lin Feng specifically asked these extremely mentally retarded questions. If you are not ready, you should not go to Bush for trouble, and the result will not only not embarrass Bush, but will only boost his momentum, which is simply unacceptable.
Alas, Kerry and Donald Trump sighed at the same time, separated by thousands of mountains and rivers.
But at this moment, everyone originally thought that this speech would start uneventfully, and when it ended uneventfully, things changed.
"Mr. Bush, then I would like to ask a little bit, since you think that you have been in power for the past four years without being wrong, then why are you being smashed in front of someone!" Lin Feng asked.
Originally, Bush was smashed in his shoes, but on December 14, 28, outgoing US President George W. Bush made a farewell visit to Iraq and signed an agreement on the stationing of US troops and a strategic framework agreement between the two countries with Iraqi Prime Minister Jawad al-Maliki. At the briefing held during the meeting, Iraqi journalist Zaidi took off his two shoes and smashed them at Bush, narrowly missing him, thus expressing his dissatisfaction with the US policy in Iraq.
However, due to the appearance of Lin Feng, the Bush administration, which lost its image in the "911" incident, intensified its attack on Iraq in order to divert the attention of the American people, and this also led to the early occurrence of this "shoe-throwing incident." During this year's presidential election, Bush went to Iraq to express his condolences to the officers and soldiers stationed in Iraq. Coincidentally, it was still this Zaidi who threw the shoes.
When he heard about Lin Feng's question, Bush was immediately embarrassed and didn't know how to say it. Bush has always been haunted by this shoe-throwing incident. He didn't understand how he himself was so unlucky. When he first took office, the U.S. economy was in a slump. Soon after taking office, he suffered the second terrorist attack in the history of the United States. And as the president of the United States, he was thrown by someone, and if he hadn't been agile, he would have really been hit.
Although Bush's answer at that time was quite perfect, this matter has always been haunted by Bush's mind. Now that Lin Feng has brought it up again, Bush is naturally full of displeasure.
"Although I can give my self-evaluation of the past four years in power, it does not mean that everyone recognizes my efforts. Especially in the case of the Iraq war, many people are unable to take a proper look at the war. Many people think that this war is meaningless, but I believe that in another 10 or 20 years, future generations will applaud this war in Iraq, and the Iraqi people in particular will be grateful to the United States. Because it was the United States that brought them and. In order to answer Lin Feng's question, Bush had to mention the Iraq war, which gave him a lot of headaches: "I believe that if it had been Saddam's briefing at that time, this reporter would not have dared to throw away his shoes! In this respect, Iraq has made progress, and its progress was made by US GIs in exchange for their lives." ”
The audience burst into applause.
Lin Feng also secretly gave a thumbs up. This Bush is really not simple. In such a situation, he can turn things around, and he is a character. But today, it's destined to be your bad day. Lin Feng said confidently.
"So, Mr. Bush, what are you going to war in Iraq for? Is it really just for the sake of peace for the Iraqi people? If so, then what kind of peace do you understand? Is what President Bush thinks of peace as peace and is universal? If so, does it mean that when the peace of other countries does not match the peace that President Bush has identified, it is not peace? If so, does it mean that other countries are evil? If this is the case, then what is the difference between President Bush's peace and harmony? Also, is the American-style 'peace' necessarily suitable for Iraq? If so, why has Iraq been mired in war and chaos, and why have US GIs been unable to withdraw from Iraq for a long time? Lin Feng's series of "and" were like tongue twisters, but after saying that, all Harvard students in the scene were silent.
Indeed, although President Bush said that the Iraq war brought peace to the Iraqi people, Iraqi journalists like Zeidi could throw their shoes at the president of a country at a news conference, which was absolutely not allowed during Saddam's administration. On the face of it, it is true that the war in Iraq brought peace to the Iraqi people. But on the other hand, is the "peace" brought by the United States necessarily suitable for the Iraqi government?
Also, many countries on this shijie are not so harmonious. For example, in most Arab countries, where there are servants who exist almost like slave societies, and there are also Western countries, and the royal families of various countries are already above the common people, according to the American style of peace, Britain, Denmark, and other countries, is it not enough? If not, should there also be war? Harvard thought about it so deeply that he suddenly felt a cold sweat breaking out in his back.
If we extrapolate in this way, it seems that the war in Iraq was not about liberating Iraq, as President Bush has claimed. What's more, even if Iraq is to be liberated, it must be liberated by American soldiers with artillery shells and warplanes?
Bush is also sweating profusely at the moment. He didn't expect Lin Feng's counterattack to be so sharp, and he seemed to have fallen into Lin Feng's trap.
And, these are symbols of the American spirit, but Bush knows that these are actually very empty words.
The planet has never been real!
The people have never really been the masters of their own affairs!
To put it simply, this shijie has only a relative sum, and this "relative" reference depends on whether it endangers the interests of some big people.
But now, the ratings have soared to 34 percent, and almost 100 million Americans have tuned in to watch the unexpected debate through various channels. Therefore, at such a critical moment, Bush cannot afford to lose. He can't lose!
"The Iraq war, 'President Bush wanted to quibble, but Lin Feng didn't give him a chance.
"President Bush, why did you want to go to Iraq? What is the real reason? You said it was not for oil, nor for Israel or anything else, so what was the reason for it?" Lin Feng asked loudly.
Bush immediately looked like a dog with its tail stepped on, and jumped over the wall in a hurry.
"I didn't want to go to war, I never wanted to go to war. It is extremely wrong to take it for granted that I am going to war, and I "Bush used a few times in a row and did not want to, but Lin Feng did not give him any respite.
"President Bush, what is all this for? Why did you want to go to Iraq? At the cost of sacrificing more than 10,000 US soldiers and spending $600 million, what is all this for?" Lin Feng asked.
"I repeat again, no US president wants to go to war (omit 3 words here), this is weishenme I want to be in Iraq, please let me finish" Bush saw that Lin Feng was about to speak again, and hurriedly stopped it, wanting to order the host to turn off Lin Feng's microphone and give him a chance to breathe, but Lin Feng never used the microphone from beginning to end, and wanted to turn it off, so why turn it off!
"They didn't do anything to you and your country. Lin Feng interrupted President Bush.
Bush was interrupted by Lin Feng one after another at this moment, and he was already a little crazy. In particular, Lin Feng grabbed his pigtails on this issue, which made Bush hate. Originally, the issue of the Iraq war has always been grasped by the party, and this is a major obstacle to Bush's re-election as president. As a result, Lin Feng grabbed this braid again today and embarrassed him. But the problem is that Lin Feng is not a big man, he is just a businessman, and second, he is not even an American, so why should he accuse him.
"They did it, they did it! The Taliban provide safe haven for al-Qaeda, and that's where al-Qaeda trains," Bush almost roared, but was interrupted again by Lin Feng.
"But I'm talking about Iraq!" Lin Feng said with a shrug.
Iraq, damn Iraq! President Bush was angry and red-faced, but he didn't know what to say at the moment. If it weren't for the years of career tempering, I'm afraid he would have blurted out some extremely wrong words just now. Fortunately, at the last moment, he retained a trace of his sanity and was not mad by Lin Feng.
"Again, I repeat that the war in Iraq was the right one. As for whether it's right or not, I don't think I, or you, can comment. However, I believe that history will naturally have a public opinion. Bush will not answer this question anymore.
"Next!" Bush casually pointed to a person. He didn't want to talk to Lin Feng anymore, never!
Pity!
