Chapter 970
"Why don't we change the topic and the direction of the wind?" The Secretary-General proposed to the bigwigs like this.
The president's eyes lit up. This method of diverting conflicts is often used in politics. He really wanted to see what good ideas his subordinates could come up with.
"How do you say it?" The president leaned back in the leather chair and crossed his fingers. Meanwhile, several big men next to him also focused their eyes on the Secretary-General.
The Secretary-General coughed dryly and said: "That's right. In fact, the reason for this riot is that the anti-mutant radicals are making trouble again. In theory, we should punish them severely, otherwise the government's credibility will decline. But Due to some willingness, we may not be able to really make it particularly heavy."
"Or if there is no way to reproduce the stage, the punishment is so severe." The Secretary-General said euphemistically, and the statement was also considered for a long time.
Because it is undeniable that many politicians in the United States range from city councilors to congressmen, and some of them rely on mutants to get to power.
If the entire anti-mutant forces are directly punished with very drastic means, especially when the public opinion is so fierce, will this part of the people rebound?
Most of the people's hearts are selfish. When facing the overall interests of the country and the disputes between stability and personal interests, not everyone can be selfless. Although everyone has taken an oath when they make speeches and take office, the oath is only It's just an oath. An oath on the lips cannot replace the thoughts in the heart.
And this is also a headache for the president and others. Robert and others have been arrested by New York City. And they have filed a public prosecution on charges of endangering public safety and intentionally hurting people and destroying other people's property, etc.
It is not difficult to convict them, but it is rare that there is now a heated discussion on the Internet about whether the anti-mutant organization should be classified as a terrorist organization. Is it necessary to crack down on this kind of assembly?
How should the Congress and the White House respond to this matter? Whether they support it or oppose it, the public hopes that the supreme leader will make a statement. But everyone is very excited, and if one fails, it may cause even bigger things.
The president feels very tired. I am retiring soon! Everyone! I am retiring soon! My term of office is only until the end of this year, and then there will be general elections. The new president will take office on January 20 next year!
Why are there so many shits in the last two years of my tenure? What the hell is the Earth Federation?
Is it okay for you to stay until the next president comes to power to bother him? My farm in Kansas burned down, so you can’t let me live in my old age?! I’m over 60, and you’re bullying me again old people!
The president's heart is broken, and he said that he is not in his position and he is not seeking his own government. The most unfortunate thing is that he has to do a job that is busier than the previous terms combined in just the last bit of his term.
The president really doesn't want to deal with these things, but he can't ignore them. His ideal way is to drag the whole thing over and down with a procrastination tactic.
It is best to leave the anti-mutant issue and pro-mutant issue to the next government. The fact that he promoted the Earth Federation at the end of his career can make his name go down in history. He doesn't want to fall to the mutant at the last minute on human issues.
As for delaying this matter like this, it requires a little bit of political wisdom. Changing the topic is undoubtedly the best way. And what way should we rely on to do so?
"How about allowing Beauty Elixir X to enter the US market?" proposed the Secretary General.
But as soon as he finished speaking, His Excellency the President's face became ugly. What kind of bad idea is this? He said displeasedly: "What's the difference between this and publicly supporting mutants? Do you understand our current situation? What we need is stability .My term is only over half a year, I don't want to give myself a mess that can't be cleaned up, you understand?"
Your Excellency the President has already started to prepare for his retirement life, and he has started to contact writers to start writing his memoirs. Therefore, he is also outspoken about some things to his confidantes.
"However, your Excellency, letting X beauty medicine enter the US market is undoubtedly a very good means to divert the topic. Why are those fat people marching? Isn't it just for this medicine? It's on the market, and we can naturally put a sharp The topic has been shifted, and it has become operable." The Secretary-General said sincerely, and he looked completely for the president's sake.
But the President was not very satisfied, he frowned: "This is not a good idea, if I stand on a certain position now, then my life after retirement will not be easy."
The secretary-general said softly, "We don't need to take a stand."
The president glanced at him: "What do you mean?
"And I have another idea, what if we assign the scope of the pilot to some valuable, but now in trouble, cities that are on the verge of bankruptcy?"
What the Secretary-General said is that cities on the verge of bankruptcy are very common in the United States. The most famous is Detroit. The automobile city that attracted worldwide attention in the 20th century is now almost becoming a ghost town.
Because there are not enough jobs, the population of citizens is lost, and people live in places with jobs. Because of the loss of population, the profit of the service industry decreases and begins to weaken and close down, resulting in the life of people living in the city becoming more and more stable. .This accelerated population loss.
In the end, a vicious circle was formed until the entire city collapsed completely. China has the social phenomenon of rural hollowing out, while the United States has the social phenomenon of urban hollowing out.
"The phenomenon of overweight in our country is very common, and the national health, especially the health of weight, is really not optimistic. If this drug can be marketed, and the place and quantity of sales are controlled within a certain range, then those who are now obese Judging from the enthusiasm expressed by the parade, they can even save the economy of some cities. At least they can stimulate a large number of population flows, and if there are people, then services are needed." The Secretary-General said, and the President's eyes lit up.
"But it's a temporary solution, not the root cause. Even if the heat temporarily saves those cities, how will the heat pass?" The president thought more comprehensively.
The Secretary-General smiled and said a very sad sentence: "But at that time, you have retired for several years. Everyone will only remember that you saved these cities during your tenure, and then the cities went bankrupt? That is the next president. wrong decision."
Having said this, the president and the secretary-general smiled at each other.
