Chapter 349 Inauguration of President of Somalia
PS: This chapter gorgeously cuts a lot of things.
——————
It's been almost two months since the terrorist attacks in the United States, and during this time, the debris has not yet been completed, whether it is the collapsed FBI, CIA headquarters, or the Empire State Building, which is still being cleaned up. In particular, the Pentagon and the White House have already built Capitol Hill, and the clean-up work must not only be done quickly, but also with great care. There are a lot of confidential documents hidden inside, and in order to prevent them from flowing out, every link of cleaning work is carried out under strict supervision.
The Statue of Liberty, a symbol of American freedom, has now begun to be hoisted and restored. Fortunately, the statue was made of steel and copper, not cement, otherwise it would have been re-carved.
Of course, one of the things that worries Americans the most is whether bin Laden is dead, where the government's billions of anti-terrorism dollars are spent every year, and why the United States will suffer such huge losses. Ten airliners, two fighter planes, plus hundreds of thousands of dead and wounded, all this, the American people need a reasonable explanation.
Nowadays, a large number of people protest at the entrance of government offices every day, and all kinds of slogans are shouted loudly. The trust of the U.S. government is also declining rapidly. If it weren't for the media's daily efforts to build momentum for the government, I am afraid that this crisis of confidence would have erupted into extremist ideology long ago.
As the president of the United States, Obama also paid close attention to the results of the investigation of the terrorist attacks, first giving the CIA a month, and then half a month. Now, a full survey has come out. But Obama was far from satisfied.
The investigative report is not short to simulate the beginning and outcome of this attack. Combined with all the suspicious intelligence intelligence from 911, especially after the U.S. announced the killing of bin Laden. Special information obtained by the intelligence services has been screened in detail.
Another direction of investigation is the hijackers and the people involved in the Empire State Building attacks, the details of the Saudi company and the American company that worked with the Saudi company.
In order to ensure the accuracy of the investigation, the CIA's investigation took a month, and then a large number of repeated investigations and sorting out in the following half a month, which led to today's answer sheet handed in by the intelligence department.
Dempsey picked up the document that Obama had thrown over, quickly skimmed through the table of contents, and then flipped through a few pages, with a look of extreme shock on his face. He hurriedly said: "How is this possible, there will be such a disguised method in the world realm? It's too ...... to have someone who has been in the military for so long, or to simulate another person's life, are they all gods? ”
"Is that all there is to it? You look at the back. Obama ignored Dempsey's astonishment, and when he saw the report, it wasn't much better.
Dempsey didn't speak, but looked behind him, and the more he looked, the more shocked he became. His face became more and more ugly, and ten minutes later, when he had read the report in general, his face was almost purple. Carefully put the report on the president's desk, eased the shock in his heart, and said, "This report is shocking. If it weren't really submitted by the CIA, I would definitely think it was the script of a spy movie. It's ......."
Dempsey didn't finish his sentence. But his tone has already indicated his attitude, and the following words are also well expressed in the preface.
Seeing a look of surprise Dempsey. "Five days ago, I received a report from the C.I.A. that someone had access to a secret about a mysterious organization that was trying to steal data from the USS Lincoln," Obama said. If I am not mistaken, in the aftermath of the operation report, a strong electronic signal was found in the first place, and it was transmitted from the Carter to the Lincoln! ”
Dempsey quickly adapted to Obama's sudden change of thinking and replied: "That's right, that's what I received that night!" ”
"A man who has died, plus a person who has just surfaced, but who has already been in the thick of a network of espionage on the American mainland, are we really all stupid? Now, with the Carter, it's all about one place, and that's Somalia. Obama slowly clenched his fists, and his hatred for "Osama bin Laden" who left him homeless and confined to a temporary office site was deep in his bones. He needs a place to vent, and the people need a place to vent.
"You mean, whether it's the terrorist attack or the disappearance of the Carter this time, it's from Somalia." Dempsey asked, confused.
"Isn't it important? As long as we say yes, that is. Obama waved his hand, and he naturally couldn't say that these were just assumptions on the part of his boss, or more specifically, on his wishful thinking.
Dempsey instantly understood Obama's thoughts, and on the surface he looked suddenly enlightened, but in his heart he was a little disapproving: everything is based on interests, and it is better to find a dead person who does not exist in his mind, rather than maximize all the benefits. When can you stop playing this routine, don't lose a big deal because of a small amount at that time.
"What if the so-called bin Laden had nothing to do with Somalia and launched an attack on the mainland after the war began?" Dempsey asked.
"There is only one result, I am stepping down, and before I step down, the CIA and the FBI, as well as the heads of intelligence services large and small, will go to jail." Obama replied dryly.
Dempsey was silent, although he had a lot of thoughts about it, having experienced the Iraq war for five years, experiencing various attacks every day in Baghdad, and even being transferred to Central Command as deputy commander and then promoted to commander, his attitude towards the United States' foreign wars in the past ten years has changed greatly. To put it bluntly, he was a little war-weary. It's just that this kind of emotion, for the sake of his own status, has never been revealed.
He did not think that the terrorist attack had anything to do with Somalia, and the death of Osama bin Laden, who was the commander-in-chief of the U.S. Central Command at the time, was highly classified. I also know some secrets. Whether bin Laden was actually killed or not is something that even he himself has a lot of questions. Especially after the terrorist attacks. After the video broadcast by Al Jazeera, this feeling became even stronger.
If it weren't for the fact that this time the United States would have lost too much. His international popularity has plummeted again and again, and he may even think that bin Laden, who appears on Al Jazeera, is actually a puppet of the Americans.
"There are many excuses for war, and I really hope this time it won't be a mistake again." Now, Dempsey can only comfort himself in his heart.
"In that case, what about the Carter?" After the topic shifted, Dempsey did not forget the purpose of this trip.
After weighing it up for a while, Obama said, "Three days." It's not clear what happened, and I hope that CENTCOM will soon give a clear finding. However, I would prefer that this event would not affect the pace of the war. ”
"Rest assured, Mr. President, that will not happen." Dempsey immediately saluted and assured.
"Wait, do you have anything else to do?"
When the conversation turned away from the president, Dempsey could only reply cautiously: "There is still a little more matter, but I am not in a hurry, I don't know what you command." ”
Obama didn't speak immediately, but looked at the time and said, "Watch a show with me." Perhaps in the future, this image can become valuable material. ”
"More than willingly!" When he heard that he was just watching a show, Dempsey simply agreed.
As soon as I turned on the TV, a huge square appeared on the screen. At this moment, there was already a dense crowd of people standing, and on both sides of the square were two huge main roads, and the lanes on the left and right sides were combined. I reached a very wide eight-of-a-kind. And in the middle of the square, stands a mysterious tower 100 meters high. The six prismatic sections above are the most unique features of this tower.
And with the appearance of the picture. The sound of the TV also reached the ears of the two, on the TV, a blonde and blue-eyed white reporter, standing in front of the camera, clearly introduced: "The election of the first supreme leader of the Somali country has been completed, and the settlement has been officially completed today, the original plan took ten days, but with the participation of many enthusiastic Somali citizens, the voting was unusually fast and smooth, the total number of valid votes was 1.87 million, and the actual voter turnout reached 98.7%.
The vote count was smoothly counted under the joint supervision of the legal department and the reporters of the world's circles. Li Lan, who has just become a Somali citizen, officially became the first leader of Somalia with an extremely high approval rating of 86 percent after the law department announced that the election results were valid.
……
According to Somali law, every family has the right to vote once every five years in the Somali presidential election, and the candidate with the highest support rate will become the president of Somalia as long as the voting results are valid. At the same time, there is also a provision in the law that as long as the age is not more than 70, the former president who is still leading in the popular approval rating can be re-elected an unlimited number of times.
……
In other words, as long as Li Lan's support in Somalia has always been able to outpace other candidates, then his presidency can sit for at least 45 years. Of course, if Li Lan can consistently win the support of every Somali in the past 45 years, it will require a kind of persistence that has never changed himself, which is extremely valuable.
Half an hour later, Li Lan will personally come to Bagua City Square to announce the determination of the new capital of Somalia and his inaugural speech.
Advertising ......"
After the picture began to boring advertisements, Obama also withdrew his attention from the TV, and after pressing the mute button, he said to Dempsey: "Do you know now why I should resolutely fight Somalia?" ”
Dempsey nodded thoughtfully, he now understands Obama's thoughts, "This Li Lan has such a high reputation in Somalia, and his relationship with China is extremely close, no one will rest assured, he must fight!" ”
"Yes! A Somalia ruled by the Chinese is extremely terrible for us. Especially this Somalia, which is not the former Somalia, already has the technology that threatens our position, and if they let them understand the technology of the F-22, it will be worth it. The bottom line has already been breached, what can I do if I don't fight? Obama looked at the commercials on television, his eyes drifting, but his words were firm.
"......" Dempsey wanted to remind him to be careful of bin Laden hiding in the shadows, and not to focus on Somalia and Li Lan. But every time I open my mouth, I can't say this, and in the end I can only sigh in my heart and give up.
Then the two talked about the deployment of the army and the deployment of materials, and before they knew it, half an hour had passed.
The TV picture also returned to the huge square of Bagua City, the white masonry everywhere had been covered by the black oppressive crowd, and the sky was gloomy, but the wind and rain had long since stopped.
This time, there was no reporter on the TV, but instead the picture was focused on the red carpet in the square, one end of which was connected to the center of the square, and the other end was connected to the back door of the base car. The location of this square is actually behind the base car, where the two yin and yang fish in Bagua City meet. The east-west avenue curves up and down, just separating the two fish.
As soon as the time came, Li Lan walked out of the back door of the base in a suit, and his figure appeared in the square through a neat row of flower beds and an arched bridge lying on top of a flowing stream.
With the appearance of Li Lan, the Praetorian Guards, dressed in neat formal uniforms, raised their guns and saluted at the same time. Li Lan's figure also appeared on the huge monitors on both sides of the square.
And at this moment, the whole square cheered, and a high cheer not only spread throughout the Bagua City, but also spread throughout Somalia, and even spread throughout the world.
Walking down the long red carpet alone, waving to the crowd on both sides along the way, the long road has an end, his feet stepped on the high podium, and his figure appeared in the eyes of every Somali person.
With a gentle wave of his hand, he is paying tribute to every Somali present and to the whole of Somalia.
"I am honored to be the first leader of the emerging Somali regime as a Chinese nation......
The young Bagua City has also become the new core of this emerging country......
There are not many words of thanks, because I feel a deep responsibility to be responsible for every Somali people, not only in return for my support for all of you, but also for my love for the Somali nation......
Believe me, the future of Somalia is great, indispensable to the world, and will be the most important part of humanity. Out of my love for this country and my nation, I am full of longing and confidence in this vision. For there is an eternal truth in the laws and development of nature: there is always a close connection between virtue and happiness, between duty and ethics, between the administration of honest and magnanimous government and the fruits of social prosperity and happiness.
