Chapter 1143: Turn Offensive

The president's lawn press conference really caused a thousand waves with one stone. When he opened the door to other worlds with the military and the government many times, and released all the videos of his contacts, all the reporters present were in an uproar.

At the same time, everyone who watched the live broadcast was also shocked.

There has been a lot of noise on the Internet.

"Look! What is the president talking about now! Has the United States opened the door to another world?"

"It looks real, with those materials. It looks like America really opened up."

"No wonder we were attacked by people from other worlds. Was it because we opened the door ourselves?"

"Oh, damn it! If the guys from the other world are so powerful. They come to our world, we are all finished. Isn't this opening the gates of hell?!"

Netizens on the Internet are boiling.

The reporters at the scene were also excited, and countless people raised their hands to ask questions.

The president picked a reporter from Europe at random.

"Your Excellency, may I ask why you want to open the door to another world? Is there any purpose?" The reporter asked such a question that many people want to know.

The president pondered for a while on the podium and said: "I really want to tell you that we are doing this for scientific research. We did this to explore the true meaning of science."

"But I have to tell the public with regret. No, we are not doing this purely for scientific purposes."

"Here I have to say something. That is, the unemployment rate in our country has hit record highs. Because of the outflow of assets and the relocation of enterprises, more and more of our citizens have lost their jobs."

"Their jobs have been taken away by more industrious and lower-priced workers in South America and Asia." The president spread his hands helplessly on the stage.

“I know what’s going on with my supporters and most of the working people in the country. Many of them don’t even have $400 in savings. Once they’re out of work, it often only takes” three to four weeks to get them into trouble. "

"So I launched a lot of policies, very radical. It can be said that it is very unfriendly to companies in other countries. But what can I do? I can only bear the infamy because I am the leader of this country, not the leader of other countries. .It's very narrow to say that, but I'm responsible for the 400 million people in our country first, and then I can think about people in other regions."

"So I introduced a lot of radical bills. But I was also very helpless." The president looked helpless when he said this. It looked full of grievances.

It is true that he introduced many controversial bills during his term of office. Whether the public supports it or not is really a matter of opinion.

But when he said frankly: All this is to increase the number of jobs in our country, and it is a conservative policy for the people. Something seemed to be brewing in the minds of the people watching the live broadcast.

A netizen named [Richard is a cat] from Texas intercepted this passage on INS and left a message.

[I don't think there is anything wrong with our Excellency. As he said, even if what he did was too much for other countries, he was thinking about our people. At least after pushing those bills, our unemployment rate went down, didn't we? 】

This message was forwarded more than 3,000 times in a short period of time, and the number of views exceeded 300,000. The vast majority of them are supportive views.

[I think this is correct. We must take care of ourselves before we can take care of others. 】A netizen from Ohio said so.

[That's right, at least our economy has been on the rise in recent years. The rich are fine with letting other countries take our jobs, but those of us who pay our bills every month by our paychecks are screwed. ] A netizen from Washington State who works in catering said so.

And at the lawn briefing, the president continued: "I want to make our country great again. I think that's not just my wish, but all the leaders that came before me. We want our country to be the strongest in the entire world." country, there is no doubt about that.”

"But the world situation is changing now. We have to face a lot of competition, and we don't have much advantage in labor competition. And high-tech jobs don't need too many ordinary people. But the most in our country is Ordinary people! I can’t just watch the high-tech industry and Wall Street elite make a lot of money, while a large number of working-class people live in hardship!”

The president waved his fists on the stage: "So someone suggested to me at that time that we should open up new markets. Only in this way can our country's manufacturing industry flourish again, so that more civilians can enjoy our country as the world's No. The glory of a powerful country. The people who don’t have enough to eat don’t think we are the world’s powerful country!”

The president's speech was impassioned, and many old Americans who were watching TV at home also became excited. Especially those rednecks who belong to the most numerous lower-middle class in the country.

In Derek's Bar, Texas, hundreds of old white men with long beards in leather jackets and bald eagles or red and blue flag-colored hoods listened to the president's speech. When they heard the president say that he wanted to bring this country back to its glory and let more people enjoy the glory of a world power.

Many people cheered.

"That's right! That's how it should be. We have the best motorcycle factory in the world! The best car factory in the world. But there are still so many people in our city who can't find a job." A bearded man said The middle-aged man who was drinking a bottle of Budweiser roared.

"We should have brought back those industries in our country long ago! We should have brought back those companies in our country long ago. Created in the United States must be made in the United States! Not made in China, made in Thailand, made in Vietnam, or made in Japan!"

"That's right! That's right! That's how it should be." Wearing a leather jacket, with a shaved head, a burly man slapped his hands fiercely: "We can't let our country weaken like this. Our children are still To live in this land!"

Their words drew the approval of a group of people in the bar.

And in his lawn speech, the president continued: "They proposed that I open up new markets. Not the BRICs, not undeveloped Africa, etc. But they showed me a bigger picture. Our country on the other side of the ocean Homecoming appeared. Their presence represented the existence of the multiverse that scientists postulate."

"Since someone can travel across the multiverse to those worlds, and back and forth. Can we build a passage? So that we can do business with a wider world? We have many things to do business with. In those returned Among the worlds of rural people, some worlds are relatively backward. Their food production is not enough, and they lack agricultural machinery and fertilizers.”

"We do business with the whole world, supplying them with high-yielding food seeds, agricultural machinery, fertilizer products, etc. Then they exchange their resources. This is a completely win-win strategy. In this way, our tractor factory More tractors can be produced, our fertilizer factory needs more employees, and the seed factory can also be expanded!" the president said hurriedly, waving his hands.

"This was supposed to be a win-win thing. But I still underestimated the dangers of the alien world. We opened the door three times and didn't open it in the right direction. So it caused huge losses. Even Washington's alien invasion, I can't say it's completely compatible with it." These three trials are unrelated."

The president said it was distraught here.

In just tens of minutes of speech, his expression changed again and again, as naturally as a movie king.

"Because of this, I must confess to my people. We are doing a very dangerous thing. This is my last conscience and duty as a leader. I may lose the election. I don't know if I How will their successors handle this. But what if they continue to hide it?"

"What if the disaster continues to expand?"

"My conscience tells me that I have to do something. Even if I will be liquidated for this, I will not hesitate. I am already in my seventies, and I have lived long enough. And I am rich enough, I have been very rich since I was a child, and I have enjoyed enough wealth and honor in the world, and I have nothing to miss."

"So today this is my last speech out of conscience and morality." After saying this, the president bowed to the cameras of the audience. Then turned around and left.

The lawn conference is over.

The group of strong men in leather jackets and hoods in Derek's Bar in Texas seemed to have a fire in their chests.

Someone stood up, the boss of his group, Hawke. He was wearing big leather shoes, jeans, and a leather waistcoat. Strong pectoral muscles and biceps bulge out of the white vest inside the leather vest. He slung a thick cigar and said aloud:

"Hey guys! Let's get moving. I used to dislike the president because he always seemed like an elitist who knew everything, but he was full of stupid things. But today he showed us sincerity. As he said, if he What if his successor continues to hide? What if his successor is an asshole? Although the president's political strategy may not be right, but he at least showed us today that a sincere leader is the most valuable. I plan to support him , brothers, what do you think?"

There was a whisper in the bar, and many people were whispering.

But soon everyone came to a consensus.

"We all support him!"

"I support it too."

"Looks like there's a political rally in town today. Shall we go support him?"

"Let's go!"

More than a hundred people walked out of the bar together, riding their motorcycles parked at the bar entrance.

Hawke took the lead, more than a hundred Harley motorcycles started, and the convoy headed towards the city. Harley-Davidson motorcycles, a symbol of the country's culture and spirit of freedom, let out a deafening roar.
