Twitter's newly appointed president, who started his career in real estate, was sitting gloomily on the throne that represented the world's highest power, and at the table in front of him was something that made him angry.
"Gentlemen, I would like to know what you think about this, why is we, who are called the most technologically strong, lag behind the other country in such important technologies? If the taxpayers who support us know what they will think of this administration, it's clear that we have to change that. The president said in a quiet voice, shifting his gaze from the newspaper to the couch opposite. There, there were three people seated, namely Roy, a scientific and technological adviser in the president's office, Lieutenant General David of the Department of Defense, and Dwight, the head of the CIA.
All three of them were summoned by him at zero hour. In fact, if Mr. President hadn't found out that something was wrong on Twitter, as soon as he opened the background message, countless people would have popped up to frantically @ him, asking him to explain that China was the first to launch intelligent robots. Later, he called his hired personal bodyguard instead of the White House's special agent for the president, and bought back the latest issue of the newspaper, and he was probably kept in the dark. As the most influential person on the planet, he didn't even know the latest news about what happened in the outside world, and he still needed to be reminded by outsiders to learn that such an important thing had happened.
"I'm sorry, Mr. President, I only found out about this yesterday, and I was planning to report to you after collecting all the information, and the Department of Defense and the Intelligence Agency had always been in charge of ......" Facing the president's angry expression, Roy, the exclusive science and technology consultant, wiped the sweat on his face and said, God knows if because of the dereliction of duty in this matter, will he get out of the White House from now on and lose this powerful job.
It's just that the president didn't pay attention to Roy's defense, but turned his face to the other two and asked directly.
"So, what do you say?"
He knows very well what is going on, since the original cabinet list was rejected by the parliament, and some of the remaining candidates have been reluctant to take office, he knows that his president is not as glamorous and unassuming as he seems. As a political amateur who was elected in the midst of controversy, he was not only frequently smeared by the liberal-controlled media at the beginning of his candidacy, but even had his phone list tapped and leaked after he entered the White House. So much so that a technical consultant like this left by his predecessor deliberately neglected to conceal it because of his interests, which is already a trivial matter. Worried that the decree would not leave the White House, he had to frequently post messages through Twitter to establish his connection with the people at the bottom, in case someone deliberately deceived and induced him to make unfavorable choices for him.
And here is an example.
Obviously, as a professor of mechanical and electronic control at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Roy, who was hired as a nineteen-member list of White House science and technology advisers, intended to trick him and use his hindsight and inaction to undermine his prestige and authority as president.
However, he is not alone, and his ascension to the presidency is not only due to his hard-line attitude and the slogan "Make America Great Again" that has won the support of most of the middle and lower classes, but more importantly, the support of the military and foreign intelligence agencies. At a time when the domestic economy is declining day by day, and the political, military, and cultural influence is gradually being chased and threatened by the country on the other side of the ocean, if it wants to regain its hegemony over the world, the United States needs a president who dares to act, and this is also where the interests of the two major powers lie.
However, to the president's great surprise, the two supporters who had always been his confidence in today's summons were a little hesitant to answer at this time.
"Mr. President, I think this is a matter of long-term consideration, and according to the information that our intelligence agents have come back from there, this fledgling technology company is not simple, and it seems that there is the backing of the military on the other side, and its most important board members are also linked to the government on the other side. As the person who stands directly on the table to provide protection, which is equivalent to the top ten important mayors of the city on our side, this background makes it almost impossible for us to seize it through abnormal means. ”
The president couldn't believe what he was hearing.
As the current director of the CIA, Dwight is a middle-aged white man in his fifties, with cold eyes and gloomy features, and whoever stands in front of him feels like he is being targeted by some terrible beast, and his whole body is cold. However, Dwight is best known and feared for his ruthlessness in character and unscrupulous approach to conduct. From the moment he entered the CIA, it was accompanied by bloodshed and killing.... Whether it is a civilian of a hostile force or a high-ranking official of another government, as long as it hinders the interests of the United States, he will not hesitate to put a list that must be eliminated, and then launch countless assassinations and conspiracies.
But now, Dwight showed a certain attitude of hesitation and cowardice at this moment, not at all like the man he knew well.
Shocked, the president couldn't help but look at Lieutenant General David sitting on the other side, this veteran who had gone through the Vietnam War, the two Gulf Wars, the bombing of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, the invasion of Afghanistan, and other military operations, has always been known for being an iron-blooded hawk, no matter what the difficulties, he can be fearless and brazenly dare to fight. For presidents who have heard what they don't want to hear, I hope Lieutenant General David will give a satisfactory answer, and he must get his hands on such an important technology as "making America great again."
But, once again, things have disappointed the president, and what comes out of Lieutenant General David's mouth is no different from what Dwight had just said.
"Mr. President, I agree with the Director that as the country with the most resources and the highest status and influence in the world, I don't think it really takes any abnormal means to get hold of the key technologies here. Because, we have countless things that we can use to impress this company..... Compared with the other side, the better business environment, the best financing channels, and the support of countless banks and financial consortia are enough for them to become a world-renowned large company in a short period of time, with huge wealth at the top of the Forbes list. In particular, we have already investigated that the boy who created Kangkang is the same musician we have been looking for, and if we can attract him to join, we will get more than we see now. ”
Looking at Lieutenant General Davy, who looked old and steady, Mr. President, who was in doubt, couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
What's going on today, this TMD doesn't match the previous script at all, right?
