Chapter 347: Witnessing the President's Inauguration

After washing, Li Junhao, who had changed into a uniform, appeared in front of Ayres in high spirits, and couldn't help but smile and ask, "Uncle, is this true or fake?" Is this a uniform that makes me happy? ”

"Stinky boy! How can a uniform be worn casually? Ailes glared at him angrily, but still explained: "As the chief assistant to the national security adviser, you are still too young, so you need to improve your political status in other ways......

"In view of the impact of your previous series of analyses on White House policy and your fruitful work in the Far East, Mr. Roosevelt has specifically promoted the rank of Navy in accordance with the Law on the Enlargement of the Military in the State of Emergency, and note that this is not a temporary rank in wartime!"

Li Junhao smiled happily, there is still this benefit of being this chief assistant?

"Alright, stop laughing, follow me to Mr. President!" Although Ailes had a strange tone, it could be seen that he was also very happy in his heart.

President Roosevelt was in a very good spirit, and when he saw Ayres leading him through the door, he took the initiative to say hello: "Hey, little Ogy, this uniform suits you very well!" ”

"Thank you, Mr. President!" Li Junhao said with a smile.

"Sit down, Og......" Roosevelt gestured in a wheelchair to the reception area on the side of his desk, "Listen to Nelson, you like to drink Chinese tea, how about you taste this tea?" As he spoke, he pointed to the tea set and tea caddy on the coffee table.

Li Junhao first asked Ailes next to him to sit down before starting to make tea.

The tea is a good Wuyi Mountain rock tea, brewed with a unique aroma, after coming to this world, he is the first time to drink this tea, and he feels very nostalgic.

The tea set in the president's office is very complete and brand new, which makes him feel that this tea set is specially prepared for himself.

Well, he has really practiced, and this is not difficult for himself - boiling water, washing cups, throwing tea, brewing, pouring tea, serving tea, tasting tea, and drinking tea The seven steps are done, and he himself feels that he has done a great job.

Roosevelt and Ayers each took a cup of rock tea, sniffed it before tasting it, and both of them had a feeling that the tea had been brewed by Ogur and seemed to taste better than what they had drunk before.

Li Junhao is a little proud, although his own tea making skills are not at a master's level, but it is enough to bluff among Americans; And the reason why it makes people who watch him make tea feel better is that he thinks it is mainly a bonus brought by the inner feelings caused by the sense of ritual, of course, the correct brewing method also has a certain effect, but it is not as big as the tea drinker thinks.

"Og, what's going on in the Far East right now?" After drinking the first cup of tea, Ayers began to ask.

"Oh, the situation is not bad...... Li Junhao briefly introduced the current situation in Shanghai and the Philippines, and then asked the question in his heart: "Mr. President, Mr. Ayres, is it important to come back to me this time?" ”

"Of course." "Tomorrow is Franklin's official inauguration, and you are now one of the important members of the staff team, how can you not attend." ”

Roosevelt nodded beside him, at this time he already agreed with Ayers's previous statement, thinking that Ognyan's ability was enough to serve as the chief assistant to the national security adviser, and even as an assistant adviser, it was no problem, but unfortunately he was still younger.

The President's Inauguration! Li Junhao really didn't think it was this reason, but he was very happy in his heart, which shows that he is also very important now!

——

On Tuesday, March 4, the inauguration day of the 39th president of the United States, the inauguration ceremony took place on the large lawn east of the Capitol, as is customary.

Standing on the large lawn, the columned portico under the dome of the Capitol is magnificent, and the three copper "Columbus Doors" in the porch are thick and heavy, and they are carved with reliefs of Christopher Columbus discovering the New World, and inside the gate is the rotunda of the Capitol, which can see the epitome of American politics.

The four walls of the rotunda are lined with eight oil paintings documenting the history of the United States, while the 55-meter-high dome is a large painting by the 19th-century Italian painter Brunmidi and his students, with the founding president of the United States, Washington, D.C., flanked by the Goddess of Victory and Liberty, and the other 13 goddesses representing the original 13 states of the United States. The outstanding presidential stone sculptures standing in the hall are each of an era.

On the south side of the rotunda there is also a special statue hall with portraits of famous people from all 50 states, which is a symbol of American cohesion.

At 10 a.m., the 32nd President Franklin D. Roosevelt was sworn in by the 39th President of the United States under the auspices of the Federal Justice. Henry Agad Wallace, former Secretary of Agriculture, was sworn in as Vice President.

On the left of the queue behind Roosevelt was a government team headed by Secretary of State Cordell Hull, and on the right was a White House staff team headed by National Security Adviser Nelson Ayers.

The new Commodore Ognyan, dressed in a crisp uniform, is a new commodore in a crisp uniform. Lee Panson stood not far behind Ayers, and in front of him were only the chief of staff, military representatives and military advisers, the White House chief of staff, legal advisers, and economic advisers.

His apparently less than 30-year-old appearance immediately attracted the attention of the audience and the group of media reporters, and from the beginning to the end of the ceremony, he was photographed no less than 100 times.

In this era, the reporters of the mainstream media in the United States use mechanical oscillating electronic flashes, which are really dazzling, and Li Junhao feels that if he is not wearing smart glasses, his eyes will be blinded!

Therefore, he admires the politicians of this era very much, they are so powerful, they can face the cameras of reporters without wearing sunglasses, and they can smile calmly and calmly, which is really powerful!

After the swearing-in ceremony, President Roosevelt announced on the spot the nominees for the new administration — as is customary, the candidates had already been communicated in advance, and the Senate and House of Representatives would immediately approve them at the afternoon session, with the Speaker overseeing their oath-taking.

Compared with the positions of government departments and bureau chiefs, the White House staff is only personally responsible to the president, and some of them are military representatives and military advisers, whose duties are to provide staff advice and work assistance to the president as the commander-in-chief of the country's armed forces, and to be responsible for implementing the president's military policy.

Mr. Lee's current position is normally accountable to the National Security Adviser and serves as a replacement, directly to the President if necessary.
