"Do you know what happened in Roswell?" Truman asked as soon as he came up from the Oval Office.
Li Zitao thought for a while, then said uncertainly, "You mean the flying saucer crashed?"
He hesitated because he couldn't believe that Truman had called him for something so baseless.
UFOs, aliens.
At least until the 21st century, Li Zitao never saw them appear.
Therefore, he probably doesn't believe in such things.
But Truman, who is the president of a country, suddenly asked him to come to Washington in person and mentioned Roswell again. It was so strange!
The Roswell incident refers to the uFo crash that occurred in Roswell, New Mexico, USA in 1947.
The uproar that this incident caused at the time is still going on to this day.
And in the next half century, this topic will remain extremely hot.
Until the advent of the Internet age, the end of the Soviet-American space race, and the explosion of Internet information flow, multiple factors finally covered up this frenzy.
And it is also the origin of the mysterious and creepy Area 51, and all the legendary stories seem to originate from Roswell.
"Mr. President, don't tell me that all the outside speculation is true." Li Zitao suddenly found himself unable to laugh.
"No." Truman shook his head and said with a wry smile, "I don't know."
"You are the president." Li Zitao said in surprise, "Okay, I understand, the military."
"That's right." Truman said with a complicated expression: "There are too many secrets hidden inside, even the president cannot know."
"It has nothing to do with rights, but someone is deliberately concealing it." What Truman wanted to express was nothing more than four words, deceiving the upper and lower.
The military is a vast, violent institution, and given its peculiarities, it's normal to have a great deal of autonomy and secrecy.
However, this right has been abused.
So much so that even Truman, as president,
He doesn't know much about many things.
"About uFo, or simply alien visitation." Truman found it funny to say that, but he went on.
"People are panicking about it, and any reports and TV programs related to it will be greatly sought after."
"My administration and I want to change that." Truman didn't dwell on the uFo issue.
He needs to think about too many things, and he has no time to spend on an uncertain and speculative event.
"But what does it have to do with me?" Li Zitao still didn't understand.
Truman forgot his troubles, looked at him with a smile on his face and said: "Movie is one of the greatest arts in human history, and now it can enter thousands of households."
"Make a movie?" Li Zitao seemed to understand.
Yes, Truman's focus was on making movies.
He wants Hollywood to produce a large number of science fiction movies to satisfy the public's curiosity, divert the public's attention from groundless speculation, and confuse the public at the same time.
"You can just say it on the phone." Just for such a little thing, I deliberately made myself feel here from Chicago, and it was still in this special period.
Doesn't he know how much trouble the African-American Committee has caused him?
Truman said helplessly: "I want to do the same, but..."
"Wait until tomorrow, I will be hsD's biggest laughing stock, people's talking point after dinner."
Truman danced like a clown and screamed, "Mr. President was scared by aliens and peed his pants."
"His plans are as bad as roadside shit."
"Maybe we should build a shelter for D.C., like the rubber sheet bomb shelters down the street."
Hearing him mention the rubber sheet, Li Zitao remembered Burchrd's previous market report.
Since the beginning of the Peninsula War, East and West have confronted each other, and the Cold War has become post-settled.
The hottest investment in the United States is not finance, not new industries, not insurance and sales.
Rather, family shelters, personal bomb shelters.
Digging tunnels and building houses are the most popular things for the people at present.
People who sell planks and patchwork shelters are making a lot of money, and the daily orders are so busy that they have to call people from all over the place.
And their so-called refuge is an arched wooden house made of rubber panels on the lawn of the other party's house.
From Birchard's point of view, that thing is more like a surprise toy for children.
However, the more popular the doomsday theory and the more reports on the Soviet Union, the more people panicked and desperately dug holes to build houses.
According to the latest news in the Los Angeles Times.
A senior doomsday poisoning fanatic in Luo Village spent 2 years building his own fortress 80 meters underground with the help of various tools and his own strength.
He used all kinds of scrap iron parts, melted them down, and built a passage, and stocked them in it, including fuel oil, kerosene lamps, and various daily necessities, enough for his family to live for 8 years.
These preparations used up all his savings, but he ignored it, and even asked the bank for a loan to continue the expansion of his "Doomsday Fortress".
Doomsday fanatics who learned about this from the newspapers worshiped him as the 'Pope of Doomsday'.
Some people drove thousands of miles to find him, sign autographs, and take photos together.
Be like a big star!
"Charlie, Charlie..." awakening him who was lost in memory, Truman emphasized: "Listen to me, I need a movie to divert the public's attention..."
"Detonate enthusiasm, make them tired and even bored with it, doesn't it?" What Li Zitao said was exactly what Truman had in mind.
"Is your cooperation with the military going well?" Truman asked looking at him.
"What do you mean?" Li's cooperation with the military is more than one or two.
Truman patted his forehead and joked: "I almost forgot, you are the real defense contractor, and the US Army and Air Force are about to become your world."
"It's no good to spread these words, buddy, you are the president, so be careful with your words and deeds." Li Zitao said bluntly.
Truman said casually: "Okay, I take back what I just said."
"nRL, do you have any cooperation with them?" As a president, it sounds somewhat pathetic to ask a businessman about a research program related to national security and development.
nRL, the Naval Research Laboratory, is also one of the highest research laboratories supported and controlled by the military.
Founded in 1923, it covers a wide range of research fields.
The hottest and most concerned aerospace field is also one of its main research projects.
Its funding units include; Office of Naval Research, US Air Force, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Office of Defense Research, Department of Energy and Department of Justice.
The main cooperation between Lee and nRL is the current hot space field.
"I don't know." Li Zitao's answer was no better than Truman's.
Li Zitao, the boss, has no right to ask about the details of the cooperation between Skunk and RnL. Fortunately, the people they need are the same people that Aegis brought back from Germany.
In other words, in essence, this project is completely in the hands of the Germans, and it is a rocket research and development team that has followed the little man and is deeply valued by him.
According to the information Li Zitao has, the host of the project is none other than Von Braun.
