On July 4, the 200th anniversary of the founding of the United States from the East Coast to the West Coast entered the climax of celebration.

The landmark event of the founding of the United States was the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Philadelphia, as the signing venue, naturally wore a special glory at this moment.

The 1976 NBA All-Star Game was held in Philadelphia. The championship competition a few days ago was the one that made Lin Yi's blood boil, and it turned out to be a rehearsal for this series of activities.

And Major League Baseball, of course, will not be without moves. At the start of the All-Star Game, President Ford not only attended, but also threw the first shot. This shows the status of baseball in the United States.

American football is certainly indispensable for such celebrations. But due to the weather, the Super Bowl didn't go well.

Not so long ago, a proposal to legalize gambling was passed in New Jersey. So on such a lively day, of course, it also has to intervene, as a propaganda advertisement for itself.

New Jersey has issued a special lottery called the "Anniversary Jackpot". Each week, the winner will receive a pre-tax prize of $1,776.

Good deeds have already calculated that this particular lottery has a total prize pool of more than $1.8 million. Because of its award time, it will last for more than 20 years, $1,776 a week!

Of course, it is impossible for a once-in-a-century grand event to start on the same day and end on the same day.

As early as July 4, 1966, that is, 10 years ago, the '200th Anniversary Committee' was established with the approval of the National Assembly.

In order to save money, the original plan for the celebration was to hold a single-city fair in Philadelphia or Boston.

But the defeat in the Vietnam War and the Watergate scandal dealt a heavy blow to the United States. So the Ford administration changed its mind and planned to do a big deal at the 200th anniversary event!

The Korean War more than 20 years ago ended with the 38th parallel. The opponent of the United States is a vast country. The outcome of the war, which was barely acceptable to the Americans.

But the fiasco of the Vietnam War made the United States withdraw from Southeast Asia in humiliation. It's like a slap in the face of the Americans!

So around Lin Yi, many people are 'patriots', so they are discouraged, feeling that the United States is finished, and the world is not far from destruction!

The more people with such a mentality, the happier Lin Yi became. In addition to the "Wasteland" series, other types of apocalyptic novels, it is estimated that here in the United States, can also sell well!

"Grandma's Story" has been written, and maybe the next plan can be put in this regard.

As for the 'Watergate Scandal,' how could the blow to the United States be equivalent to the Vietnam War? Lin Yike couldn't understand it!

In Paradise Games, there are many people who have ideas. Everyone talked about it, and Lin Yi finally understood the Tao here:

"The president is not only the head of the executive, but also the representative of the American spirit. But after Watergate, Nixon refused to apologize for the incident, which seriously hurt the spirit of the Constitution!"

"Moreover, the United States is a Christian country. When the president takes the oath of office, God is there to oversee it! Betraying the oath of office is tantamount to fooling God!"

Betrayal of the Constitution and God at the same time - a situation that the Americans simply cannot accept. Many people are close to collapse in their hearts, and public opinion is boiling, feeling that those traditional virtues have been seriously challenged.

When the people around him said this, Lin Yi understood a little. In the 80s and 90s of the 20th century, when 'money worship' swept through China, public opinion was also boiling and surging at that time.

Watergate crisis, Nixon stepped down. As his successor, U.S. President Gerald Ford will not only make a big deal this time, but also emphasize the 'rebirth' of the United States and the restoration of traditional values.

Stamps, commemorative coins, these ordinary means of celebration, of course, are of little use.

And NASA's new badge, beautifully designed and magnificent, makes many Americans happy!

After all, up to this point, the United States was the only country that landed on the moon. The great achievements of NASA are indeed perfect for inspiring the hearts of Americans!

But at this moment, the relevant information of the past resurfaced in Lin Yi's mind - on the moon, the wind blows the national flag, the opposite shadow, and the strange gravity!

Is the Apollo moon landing really an elaborate hoax? No wonder Lin Yi has such conspiracy theories, I heard that 60 million Americans also think that the moon landing was faked!

The psychological need to deny others and elevate oneself may be something that outsiders may have. However, some objective factors in the United States at that time could not be ignored:

In 1969, the United States and the Soviet Union competed for space hegemony, and the beacon fire was in full swing. Not only is the United States mired in the Vietnam War, but its own economy is in serious trouble – just like now, it urgently needs to boost the morale of the people at home and the soldiers on the front lines.

But Tom, Jack, Pence, these pure Americans, don't seem to have much interest in NASA. On the contrary, it was the 'American Freedom Train' that made them excited.

Bozeman Trail, California Trail, Gila Trail, Big Carriage Road, Mormon Trail, Alabama Trail, Old Post Trail, Old Spanish Trail, Oregon Trail, Santa Fe & Wilderness Trail –

This is the pioneering path of the United States, and it is also the spiritual path of the Americans. That's why the Americans in the company call it a 'train pilgrimage'.

The pilgrimage began on April 1, 1975 and ended on July 4, 1976. Follow the original boxcar trade route for 25,388 miles through the contiguous 48 states of the United States.

Lin Yi took out the calculator and converted it into kilometers, the number is 40858, which is about the same as a circle around the earth.

If it is just for self-entertainment, how can there be much festive atmosphere? Many friendly countries sent warships to New York to participate in the international naval review on 4 July.

President Ford attended the parade and received a salute from the visiting ship.

At the same time, the Queen of England and Prince Philip will also participate in the celebration. and on several ex-British colonies, visiting cruises.

Britain has given a lot of face! This is an unmistakable declaration that Britain was the unjust side of the American Revolutionary War.

Lin Yi smiled secretly, Britain is doing this, which is equivalent to spit on itself! Using its own injustice to contrast the justice of the United States, this is really an iron-clad ally!

Among the gifts from the RB government, there are many bonsai trees, ranging in age from 30 to 350 years.

And so on and so forth......

In this atmosphere of 'all nations coming to court', patriotism and nostalgia began to sweep the country. The anger of the Vietnam War and the crisis of Watergate seem to have come to an end.

However, two days earlier, on July 2, Vietnam also sent gifts in advance. If the United States can call the shots, then this 'gift' will definitely be returned!

Two days earlier, the Viet Cong had abolished the South Vietnamese government and established the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. The achievements of the United States in the Vietnam War have since come to naught!

At this time, a group of South Vietnamese refugees also took advantage of Hong Kong to set foot on the land of the United States. The Vietnamese government said: With this gift, I would like to wish the American people a happy holiday!

And as a staunch ally of the United States, Israel, of course, is not willing to be left behind:

On July 4, Ming Xiu Plank Road and Dark Chen Cang, sent Israeli special forces to raid Uganda's Entebbe Airport and rescue 103 hostages.

Lin Yi is not concerned about these hostages. Rather, it was in this operation that an Israeli soldier died in the name of 'Netanyahu'!

Hearing this, Lin Yi was really a little confused. Netanyahu, isn't this the posterity of Israel's prime minister?

Because of his very tough personality and often stirring up the Middle East, he has repeatedly left a figure in news reports. Lin Yi, who didn't like the news in his previous life, has heard of his name!

"Could it be that I influenced history? It's not surprising that the size of the butterfly wings on the body is not small anymore - it is indeed possible for the breeze to turn into a violent wind. ”

"It seems that in the screening and analysis of news in the future, we must not only use more brains, but also pay attention!" Thinking of this, Lin Yi's heart slowly became firm.
