Chapter 1974: The Rising Dragon Shall Not Be Humiliated (11)
Thinking of the behemoth standing behind Li Yumei, many people's color suddenly changed; Could it be that this time, the Alice Group is going to take the opportunity to make some moves?
For everyone, this signal is definitely not a good sign. [*10,000 books* bar update]
But there are also those who think a little further; Over the years, has the Republic been tossed by the Alice Group less? Alice is going to North Korea to toss? This is actually good news, at least when the Alice Group has set their sights on North Korea, it will inevitably pay less attention to them, which is really good news for everyone.
Brother Hu's brows stretched slightly, and then furrowed again.
Alice's willingness to set her sights on the barren place of North Korea is of course a good thing, which means that the pressure on her at home is relatively reduced, but on the other hand, this signal also means another meaning; Will Alice's actions in North Korea have any impact on the Republic?
"Yumei, you can contact the Alice Group and see what they do next." Brother Hu said to Li Yumei.
"Okay." Li Yumei nodded. This time, she suddenly took the initiative to speak at the meeting, originally because of the Alice Group's instructions to her.
Brother Hu breathed a sigh of relief; As long as Alice Group and the Zhang family are willing to communicate about these things, it means that the situation is not very bad.
For the US government, which is now in a state of anxiety, the most important thing for them at present is to solve this matter perfectly as soon as possible without alarming the media, so that one can save the face of the current president as much as possible, and the other is another layer; The media and the public do not know that the more room for manoeuvre they have, the more they can get enough benefits from this matter.
On the other hand, if the people push themselves into a corner, then for the current government, it will not only be an embarrassing problem, but there will be little room for maneuver.
Unfortunately, there are always impermeable walls in this world, and even if Americans don't plan to talk about it for the sake of their own face, there are still many "enthusiastic people" who have helped the American people realize a very important right; The right to be informed.
The news was first leaked by a website that does "Super WikiLeaks".
The most amazing thing about this website is that they can always know some facts that have been concealed by the government or the military, and they can ensure that each of their facts is true and credible, and there is enough evidence to prove the truth of what they say.
Therefore, when the news that the U.S. Consulate General in Hanoi was almost "accidentally bombed" by Vietnamese MiG planes, and the news that the U.S. Embassy in South Korea was almost accidentally bombed by the North Koreans' "Taepodong" tactical surface-to-surface ballistic missile was revealed by "Super WikiLeaks", the entire United States first had the incredible sound ・・・・・・of glasses falling to the ground, and then the entire United States exploded!
Ordinary Americans can't believe what their eyes are seeing! If it weren't for the entire news released by "Super WikiLeaks" that provided complete information on the military and government, anyone who saw it would have thought that this was a hoax by this website, but in the face of these detailed government and military records, even if they felt incredible about this incident, everyone had to believe that the powerful United States was really almost bombed by mistake.
The United States, which has always "bombed" others by mistake, when will it be the turn of others to "bomb" us by mistake?!
The announcement of "Super WikiLeaks" has plunged the whole United States into a state of anger and unease, which even exceeds the chaos caused by the series of terrorist attacks that Uncle Ben created in the United States! Countless people and the media are asking the government to stand up and explain to the people whether this is true or not, and if so, what is the government doing now?
In the face of this extremely detailed information, even if the White House hates "Super WikiLeaks" so much that their teeth itch and hurt, can they deny it? They really don't have the guts. ,
What's more, after "Super WikiLeaks" announced the most exciting news of the year, there were immediately enthusiastic netizens who took photos of the bombed building 0 meters from the US Consulate General in Vietnam and the bombed house 0 meters from the US Consulate in South Korea... ・・Although the U.S. government immediately sent a note to the Vietnamese government and the South Korean government immediately after the incident to wipe out the traces of the incident, it is not always easy to clean up the traces, especially in these two small houses.
Judging from the photo bundles provided by enthusiastic netizens, the traces of the bombing of the two embassies not far from them clearly illustrate how dangerous the situation faced by the embassies at that time was!
With the information provided by "enthusiastic netizens", now, the US government is even more passive, originally they wanted to resist it, but now? For the U.S. government, they have to find a way to solve the emotional problems of the people at home as quickly as possible.
"Yes, we admit that this is indeed true," at a press conference held on the South Lawn of the White House, George W. Bush announced the "truth" of the facts to reporters with a heavy face, "Fortunately, God willing, except for some broken glass, we did not have much casualties, only a few unlucky people were cut a few times by the splashed broken glass, and the injuries were very minor and not serious." ”
At the same time, in his heart, George W. Bush scolded "Super WikiLeaks" half to death; If it weren't for this damn site called "Super WikiLeaks", how could Lao Tzu be so passive? I didn't say it, I didn't say it, after this matter is resolved, Lao Tzu must ruthlessly clean up this ・・・・・・website called "Super WikiLeaks", which in later generations will attract people's attention by decrypting some "secret" things that the US military and government have not seen and cannot see, was remembered by Bush Jr. at this time, and if it was according to the correct course of history, it should have happened four years later.
Bush's words made the reporters present breathe a sigh of relief; Fortunately, as long as there are no casualties, the situation is much easier to deal with.
Of course, there are also reporters who secretly regret it in their hearts; It's a pity that this news is still not exciting enough, if a few people die, then this news will be even more perfect, you can shake the pen in your hand, give full play to your uncrowned king's ability, and use this incident to make the whole United States move.
But no matter what they thought in their hearts, when Bush Jr. finally admitted that this incident was true, the reporters raised the microphone in their hands one by one with great emotion and raised their own questions one after another・・・・・・
"Mr. President, has the White House made a clear decision on this matter?"
"Mr. President, does the White House think that the bombing of the embassy in Vietnam and South Korea was a conspiracy against the United States?"
"Mr. President, may I ask you・・・・・
"Mr. President・・・・・
For a time, the South Lawn of the White House was even more lively with the vegetable market.
It wasn't until George W. Bush waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet that the reporters reluctantly put down their hands.
"The White House has reached a consensus on these two very bad incidents, and we initially believe that this incident can be resolved through negotiation, but we do not deny ・・・・・・."
Before Bush Jr. finished speaking, an anxious reporter immediately interrupted Bush Jr.'s words, "Mr. President, since you said so, does it mean that the White House believes that these two incidents are a deliberate conspiracy against the United States?" How will the White House react? ”
Bush Jr. was secretly unhappy when he was interrupted, but he still had to answer the uncrowned king's question, he couldn't help it, the question was too acute, and if he didn't answer the question clearly, he might face a bigger problem later.
"First of all, I need to correct the point that this incident, we do not think that we can rule out the possibility of suspicious targeting of the great United States of America, but we also cannot rule out the possibility that what happened next to each other in these two issues is a complete coincidence." George W. Bush said, "If this incident is a coincidence, then the White House will try to ensure the security of US embassies abroad in the future, and will also communicate with governments to avoid similar situations; If this is a conspiracy... ・・”,
Speaking of this, Bush Jr. paused, and then said in a firm tone, "Then the great Congress of the United States of America let those conspirators know that the great United States of America has never been afraid of any conspiracy!" Any conspiracy against the great United States of America will eventually end in failure, and the conspirators will be severely punished! ”
Who says Americans can't do tai chi? Tai Chi is an activity that is beneficial to physical and mental health, but it is a basic skill that every politician who mixes in the political arena must learn.
Bush Jr.'s remarks are said to be very satisfying, but some reporters are not very satisfied with Bush Jr.'s practice of doing tai chi, and they are very desperate to throw out a heavyweight question: "Mr. President, according to what I know, Vietnam and South Korea have launched provocative acts against China at sea almost in no particular order, and this happened in the Chinese embassies in Vietnam and South Korea immediately afterward. What kind of role did the Chinese play in these two incidents? ”
What the? Is it possible that this matter has something to do with the Chinese? Hearing the reporter's question, almost everyone was stunned, including the reporter who asked the question before.
Who is this guy to be able to know such heavyweight news? A group of reporters looked at the guy who had just asked the question with envy and jealousy... ・・It turned out to be him, seeing this reporter from USA Today, everyone suddenly had only deep envy; As one of the most widely circulated newspapers in the United States, it is a bit surprising that this reporter from USA Today could know this level of inside information, but when you think about it, it is actually understandable.
Everyone eats the media, so they naturally know that with such an insider, as long as the operation is done well, it is enough to ensure that they don't have to worry about news materials for even a month・・・・・・ this is a piece of news that can last for a month.
Damn it! How did he know about this? Bush Jr. immediately scolded fiercely in his heart: He knew that the guy who asked the question was a reporter from "USA Today", this guy has always had a bad relationship with him, and he always brought trouble to himself at press conferences, which was simply a big trouble basket・・・・・・ and it was obvious that this big trouble basket had a lot of power today.
Without this heavyweight question, Bush Jr. was confident that he could successfully take today's press conference into his own hands, but when this heavyweight news from USA Today was thrown, Bush, who had been dealing with Chinese for several years, understood that once this question was not answered well, the situation would be serious; As far as the United States is concerned, China is not only a competitor of the United States, a country that may compete with the United States for global hegemony in the future, but also a country that maintains the economic development of the United States; without the impetus of China's rapid economic development, George W. Bush would not dare to imagine what kind of situation the United States will face at that time.
"No, according to what we have now, apart from what Mr. Reporter just said, so far, there is not a single piece of evidence pointing to China in this matter, proving that China is involved in this matter, or simply that this matter was planned by China, and I can only say that all this is too coincidental for the Chinese figure that appeared in this matter."
Yes, it's too coincidental~ Not only does Bush Jr. think so, but all those who have a detailed understanding of this incident feel that China's appearance in this incident is too coincidental, so coincidental that people even have to doubt them... Bush Jr. even went into detail: If this matter were placed 50 years ago, when the United States did not yet have various high-precision military satellites, the US government at that time would 100% think that this matter was inseparable from the Chinese.
"Mr. President, can you guarantee that in this matter, the Chinese are really as you say, just a coincidence?" The reporter from USA Today continued to ask questions unrelentingly, and it seemed that only when George W. Bush said that "this incident was actually planned and initiated by the Chinese."
Compared with staunch anti-China media such as the Chicago Tribune, USA Today is not a staunch anti-China media, and although it is not very objective and fair in its coverage of China, USA Today is still good, but although USA Today is not a staunch anti-China media, this reporter is a staunch anti-China journalist. ,
As for why this reporter is so staunchly anti-China, there is a widely circulated theory in private; When this reporter was a child, there lived next to their house a kung fu Chinese, and their children would practice Chinese kung fu every day・・・・・・ according to the logic of many Americans, almost all Chinese knew kung fu・・・・・・ at that time the young reporter looked down on the Chinese kung fu of "flower boxing and embroidered legs", and thought that only the Western boxing was the real kung fu, so he also made a lot of effort to learn Western boxing. I hope that one day I will be able to use boxing to make that little Chinese boy understand that compared to boxing, the so-called Chinese kung fu is not a fart at all.
But half a year later, a tragic thing happened, Mr. Reporter originally thought that his boxing had reached a certain level, full of confidence with a group of "little brothers", and planned to teach the Chinese boy a lesson, but it was just a move, and the poor Mr. Reporter was put on the ground by the Chinese boy and did not get up for several minutes.
Since then, this journalist who has been deeply affected not only hated the Chinese kung fu that made him lose face with his partners, but also hated the Chinese. So it seems understandable that this journalist is so excited at this moment.
George W. Bush smiled, "Sir, I know you may have some unpleasant memories of your childhood, but I hope that your unpleasant childhood meetings will not interfere with your professional ethics as a journalist, okay?" ”
Saying that this reporter's professional ethics is not good is almost equivalent to Bush Jr. pointing at this guy's nose and scolding, but the problem is that Bush Jr.'s words made the poor reporter unable to say anything for a while・・・・・・ other reporters laughed tacitly.
When he was mentioned about his childhood, the USA Today reporter retreated, but in his heart, his resentment against the Chinese became more intense; If it weren't for the damned Chinese, how could he lose such a big person? Everything, blame the Chinese!
Seeing that the reporter of "USA Today" had withdrawn, Bush Jr. nodded with satisfaction, and the host on the side took over the topic just right, "Okay, this "USA Today" question has ended, let me ask, which other reporter friend has a question to ask?" If there are no problems, this is the end of today's press conference. ”
There was no problem, the reporters looked at each other and shook their heads; The news I got today is enough for everyone to digest.
