Chapter 195: A New Era
After Zhang Lisheng confirmed the news, he didn't want to listen to the taxi driver's nonsense, and immediately took out his mobile phone to search for the decree just issued by the new owner of the White House.
Typing in the two keywords of 'otherworldly world, presidential decree', the young man soon searched for millions of relevant information on the webpage, clicked on the relevant link of the official website of the United States government at the top, and he was shocked to see, "All the terra nullius found by Milican belong to all citizens of the United States, and hereby, I, Rand Paul, sign a decree to open the latitude and longitude of the New York Inland Sea at 42 degrees...
Adult citizens of the United States of America who voluntarily sign treaties and assume unpredictable risks may freely enter and exit the gates of otherworldly space for legal farming, commodity trading, mineral exploration and gathering..."
Zhang Lisheng looked at the information on the screen of his mobile phone, and muttered incredulously, "I really opened up the 'otherworldly realm' near the Inland Sea of New York, hell, even if the situation has changed fundamentally, such a 180-degree change in policy is too much, too ...
This, this, doesn't Rand Paul say that he is a conservative..."
While the young man was dumbfounded and muttering to himself in a taxi on the streets of New York, the large white house on Pennsylvania Northwest Avenue in Washington, D.C., which symbolized the center of power in the United States, was in the oval office in the inner corridor of the West Ji.
The new leader of the Free World was sitting on a black leather chair in high spirits, and shouted happily at the gloomy and silent people in the room, "How am I doing today, everyone?"
"Rand, you're not so paranoid today that you don't listen to anyone's advice and become a dictatorial madman. Everything else is perfect. Listening to this question, Franklin, who performed the duties of chief state adviser on the first day and was also one of the president's personal friends and political partners, sat in a leather chair with a blank face and said suddenly.
He was tall and strong, with short hedgehog-like hair, and although he didn't bother with the gray hair on his head, he still seemed unusually energetic, but he felt a little exhausted when he looked at the unusually familiar and very unfamiliar face of the White House owner.
"Only a paranoid can succeed Dear Franklin, only a paranoid can succeed.
Look at what kind of mess that coke has given us, a defense deficit of 240 billion. Hundreds of people have died in the otherworldly realm. Unexplainable..."
"Rand, but he also left a safe piece of 'new land' with an area of more than 64,000 square kilometers in the United States," a short and fat old man sitting opposite Franklin in the oval office, habitually patting his belly. said mercilessly: "History will give him a fair evaluation." And I can assert. This rating is not too low.
At least not lower than a madman. ”
The old man's name is Duke Fachel, who is the new defense secretary of the United States, and was previously one of the senators of Washington state. has a wide influence in the Republican Party, and it is also one of the main promoters of Rand to become the Republican presidential candidate, so he is even more ruthless when he speaks in private.
"Minister Duke, I know I'm a bit aggressive, but isn't that the only way to solve the problem in this situation?
Our government is not capable of taking into account the expansion of the two 'otherworldly worlds' at the same time, so we will open one to the people, reawaken the adventurous spirit of the people of the United States, and turn them from 'city people' who follow the rules back to 'cowboys'.
Let those financiers and business owners who always do everything possible to 'avoid taxes' when paying taxes provide a good place to 'burn money'..."
"What about the possible harm caused by this, Your Excellency, the Otherworldly Realm is not the American wasteland where the Indian tribes lived two hundred years ago, and what we know about it is still insignificant, and if an accident occurs, the consequences will be unimaginable.
What's more, you also used the sensitive word "westward movement", which is very important for the Indian community..."The only woman in the oval room of the White House couldn't help but raise her own objections.
She was a Caucasian woman who looked to be only in her thirties, her beautiful face was hidden under a huge pair of black-rimmed glasses, her serious expression and innate intellectual temperament were at first sight, and the first thing she noticed was not the plump and tall figure wrapped in a tight black suit, but what she was saying.
"Margaret," Turning his head to look at the new Minister of the Interior that he had brought into the political arena, Rand said generously: "The constitution of the United States gives every citizen the right to choose their own life, and it is not more in line with the real 'spirit of the United States' to tell those who want to go to all the terrible situations that may be encountered in the other world, and let them choose their own destiny."
Moreover, sacrifice can be avoided without pioneering.
As for the adverse reaction of the Indian race, I think it is insignificant compared to the propaganda word 'New Westward Movement', which has an inspiring effect on the whole people of the United States.
I know you find it incomprehensible to me, for two hundred years ago Lincoln was alone in the Civil War that led to the emancipation of the slaves, and he was also rejected by all his political allies..."
"Okay, Your Excellency President, you're not Abraham Lincoln," when the owner of the White House became more and more excited, an old man in brown casual clothes with a habitual shallow smile on his face took off his top hat, knocked on his desk, and said conclusively: "We are not the ministers and advisers of the US government who insisted on compromise and surrender at that time.
We understand your ambition to usher in a 'new era', but you are too impatient, authoritarian and reckless to do today.
However, colleagues, since the matter has come to this point, as the only ministerial-level officials in the Cabinet, we can only work together to carry out the order signed by His Excellency the President to the best of our ability, because this is the sacred duty entrusted to us by God and the Constitution of the United States.
If you don't agree with me, the office door is over there, and you can submit your resignation tomorrow. ”
The noisy atmosphere in the room, where everyone seemed to be able to speak a few words, was instantly silenced by Secretary of State Fernande's words, and everyone except President Rand had an angry expression on their faces.
But time passed slowly, and not even one person left.
Fernande looked around the office, smiled, scratched his head, and made a gesture to the owner of the White House, please continue.
In this way, due to the strong performance of the president and the secretary of state of the United States, the so-called "New Westward Expansion Movement" of the otherworld was in full swing in all parts of the country, and the Inland Sea of New York became a new holy place for restless adventurers.
In the early morning, a little sunlight from the hot aftermath of the midsummer sun spilled into the window and shone on Zhang Lisheng's face through the curtains.
Sensitively sensing the temperature of the sun, the phantom of the demon god behind him slowly dissipated, and the young man opened his eyes, stretched his waist, and climbed out of bed.
After washing, he opened the door and walked to the first floor, saw that his family was gathered around the dining table, and greeted, "Mom, Uncle Laven... Good morning, Harry. ”
"Good morning, Li Sheng. The Lavens also smiled kindly at Zhang Lisheng, who walked to the empty seat in the restaurant, and Lili brought a large portion of sandwiches and juice to him briskly.
"I want to drink Coke, Mom. Looking at the orange juice in front of him, the young man rolled his eyelids dissatisfiedly and said.
"Eat quickly, drinking too many carbonated drinks is not good for your body at all," the mother tapped the coffee cup with a spoon very seriously, "You should go to our lawn and see the young people sleeping in the open, they are thirsty and hungry, and they will not be picky about a cup of fresh orange juice." ”
"But they have the ideal Aunt Lili, who is the 'new cowboy' of the pioneers of this era. Hearing Lili's words, Lardy, who was staying in New York during the summer vacation, suddenly said seriously.
"They're coming to New York to be 'new cowboys' because none of these people have a dad who is a cop, listen son, if you want to mess around with them, I'm going to smash your ass with the butt of a gun.
In two days, yes, only two days left, you'll go back to Los Angeles with your brother to go to school, play your football well, and work hard to get that diploma..."Seeing Radi's yearning expression, his father LaVine said with a blank face.
"Dad, don't you understand, it's a new era, and I have a restless heart that yearns for freedom..."Laddie looked at his father and said as if he were chanting poetry, but when he noticed that Lavin's face was getting more and more gloomy, he immediately changed his strategy with a smile, "Not to mention that I still have a billionaire brother."
Li Sheng, even if I don't have a UCLA diploma, you're going to give me a job that pays well, right, brother?"
"Of course, Laddie, I'm willing to spend two or three million yuan a year so that you don't have to talk to my ears at the dinner table. ”
"Are you serious?" Laddie shouted excitedly.
"Laddie, aren't you ashamed to ask your brother for a job?" Ravan couldn't help but roar.
"Oh, I'm just kidding Dad, you know, I can't do that kind of thing, what I just said was just a joke. Laddy said as she made an 'OK' gesture to Zhang Lisheng.
Zhang Lisheng smiled and nodded.
"Li Sheng, have you already decided to go to Stanford to study as a graduate student in the Department of Biology?" Seeing the small gesture made by Laddie, Ravin glanced at his second son again, turned his head to look at Zhang Lisheng, and asked with a soft face.
"Yes, Uncle Raven, I'm going to get a title so that I don't be called an 'upstart,' and I'm really interested in biology. ”
"Hey, Li Sheng, if you are really so interested in biology, you should set up a scientific expedition team to investigate the otherworld," Laddie, who was still unaware of life and death when he heard this, said on a whim: "Didn't you rely on the two soft-bodied beetles you found in the Amazon jungle to go directly to Stanford's graduate school, in the otherworld, there will definitely be greater gains."
I can protect you then, but before you do, you have to sponsor me..." )
