Chapter 619 The Unchanged World! (Second Update!)
The phone on the desk suddenly rang, and the ringing and vibration made the phone keep sliding on the desk, making a buzzing sound.
Odebiao instinctively wanted to grab the phone, but when he reached the phone, he was forced to stop.
He didn't answer it immediately, but held his hands and looked at the phone with an uncertain mood.
The ding-ling-ling ringing sound kept echoing in the empty room, so urgent, irritable, and disgusting.
Finally, the sharp ringing stopped, and the originally dark phone screen lit up, leaving only a number.
Just when Odebiao was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the phone rang again, and the buzzing vibration followed closely, shaking people and wanting to die.
This time, he still didn't answer.
The ringing stopped.
After waiting for a while, the phone did not ring again, and Odebiao breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to pick up the phone to see who called, the sound of the door handle being twisted in the office rang.
The mechanical sound was pleasant, and with a click, his wife poked her head out of the door and asked cautiously:
"Honey, there's a call for you!"
The woman asked very carefully, and at the same time, she kept looking into the office. When she found that there was no one in the office, she was obviously relieved.
Then she moved the phone in her hand forward, and the small screen of the phone lit up, indicating that she was on a call.
Looking at his wife's cautious appearance, Odebiao walked over quickly, took the phone from his wife, and saw the number on the screen at a glance.
There was no name on the screen, only a string of numbers, but Odebiao knew very well that this number was the number that called him just now.
He looked very solemn, and his solemn expression naturally fell into his wife's eyes.
The other party showed a worried look, and just as he was about to speak, Odebiao cast a reassuring look, took the phone with a smile, pushed his wife out of the door, locked the door, and then walked to the window. His eyes swept through the window like a radar, and he spoke at the same time:
"Hello, Mr. Isaac, I was just getting familiar with my work and couldn't answer your call. Sorry!"
"Odebiao, as the president of America, you must learn to be decisive and hesitant."
Isaac's voice was very old, with a little comfort, but Odebiao knew very well that the other party's words were hitting him.
He knew that he hesitated just now and knew that he didn't answer the phone.
That is to say, the other party has someone in the White House, or the other party can get information from the White House through some other technology.
These guys are more powerful than he imagined and more powerful than he knew.
He came to this conclusion in his mind, and before he had time to put it into the warehouse, Odebiao showed a self-deprecating smile on his face.
If these people were not strong, could they have pushed me from an ordinary person to the position of president?
Although this election was full of surprises, after all the surprises, I still climbed to the position of president. Apart from my luck, the rest was the strength of these people.
Facing such people, I could still have other thoughts. It was really...
Throwing out the irritable thoughts in my mind, Odebiao sighed hard and said to the person on the phone:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Isaac, I'm too stupid."
"Because until now, until I sit here in person, I still have a sense of unreality, as if I'm dreaming."
"I'm afraid, I'm afraid that this dream will wake up when I'm most excited, and then I will become the professor who teaches law in Chicago, and become that ordinary person again."
"I'm really scared!"
"I really can't imagine..."
His words became more and more confused, and even a little crying.
And the chaotic crying made the person on the other end of the phone fall into deep doubt, wondering if he supported the wrong person.
After a moment, an old and gloomy voice came from the phone:
"You don't need to do anything, you just need to prepare your inaugural speech now."
"Then, be ready to sign the bill, pass the bill, and place people, and you don't need to do anything else."
"Someone will help you arrange everything!"
"Also, there are still a few days before 2005. You should have a good rest these days, familiarize yourself with the process, and don't put too much pressure on yourself."
After this sentence, the phone was hung up, and Odebiao turned away from the window, holding the phone and sinking into the shadows.
His face was dark in itself, and when his expression was uncertain, only a black suit was left, quietly hidden in the darkness.
After a long time, he seemed to have made up his mind, and then he walked out of the darkness and walked towards the door.
He opened the door to reveal the people outside.
Outside the door was his wife and the staff of this election.
Although these people were people he found from various places, and the supporters behind him found them from various places, but with the phone call just now, he knew very well that except for his wife, even including his wife, they were all those supporters.
He glanced at these people, tiptoed, shrugged his shoulders, and handed the phone back to his wife while deliberately saying, "An old friend."
Finally, he looked at these staff members and spoke again:
"Let's go, let's get familiar with the work!"
In the next few days, Odebiao was getting familiar with the work.
Until New Year's Eve, December 31, 2004.
This day was the first time Odebiao appeared in public after being elected.
And this day is also the day of his inaugural speech.
At 8 pm local time in Washington, he appeared in Congress on time and appeared in front of the camera.
Wearing a well-tailored black suit, he made the people of America shine.
Standing in front of the podium, he turned slightly, smiled, and nodded slightly to the camera, looking very polite.
After completing the ceremonial procedures, he raised his right hand and knocked lightly on the podium. The crisp sound brought everyone back to their senses.
Now, it's time for the president to speak out.
Under the gaze of the camera, Odebiao did not take out his speech, but pressed his hands on the podium, glanced at the people present with firm eyes, and said loudly:
"Hello everyone, I am Hussein Oudebiao!"
"He is an ordinary American, a black man, and the president of America."
"I stand here today simply to repeat and reinforce the ideas I put forward during the election."
"Because these concepts are what I will do in the next four years. Before I express these concepts, I implore you to listen carefully to what I am saying today, and then supervise me carefully. If I fail to do it, then please use the law to punish me. I'll throw him off this podium!"
"Thanks!"
"In four years from 2001 to 2004, we defeated Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya, three regional powers. We are proud of this record."
"In addition, we also had a confrontation with Türkiye. We succeeded, but Türkiye failed."
"These are great honors!" "But before these great honours, we need to settle an account."
"That is the war against these three countries and the confrontation with Turkey. It cost us a lot of money, a lot. If this money is converted into banknotes and falls on a person, it can crush the person to death and crush him to pieces. ”
"And all this money is taken from our taxpayers, bit by bit, from our mouths and saved from our bodies."
"This money that was supposed to be used in our country was used in other countries for no reason, and it was also used for war."
“It’s understandable that we attack Afghanistan because Afghanistan supports terrorist organizations.”
"And the subsequent Iraq and Libya, that makes no sense to us!"
"More like taking a breath."
"But by venting our anger, we lost money and even more our excellent soldiers."
"Whose son, whose husband, and whose father are these young soldiers?"
"I don't know because they died on the battlefield."
"I say this not to deny it, but to ask, why do we pursue unilateralism? Why can't we pursue multilateral cooperation and win-win results?"
"The future is an era of development. From an economic point of view, it is impossible for any country to be self-sufficient."
"To pursue unilateralism in this era is to isolate yourself from the world."
"For our jobs and our people, we should not pursue unilateralism, but multilateral cooperation and win-win cooperation."
"This is my most basic concept! It is also a concept that needs to be emphasized."
"This concept has the same goal as America's democratic and free will. Only in this way can we be a beacon for the world."
"In addition, we also need to give up the principle of giving priority to force. Since we want to engage in multilateral cooperation with other countries and transnational organizations, we must give up the habit of giving priority to using force to solve any incident."
"War consumes money anytime and anywhere."
"Abandoning resorting to force and using words to gain recognition from others saves time, money and effort for us."
“What a great solution!”
"Of course, we will not give up resorting to force, nor will we give up upgrading force. Moreover, we will also focus on investing in upgrading our equipment to keep up with the times!"
"Because having a sword in your hand and not using it are two different things from not having a sword in your hand."
"While we are building the economy, we should also have a sword in our hands, so that we can draw it anytime and anywhere to kill our enemies."
"In this way, we, America, will become a true beacon of diversity, openness, and the world."
"We can also better assume the task of being a lighthouse, lighting up a beacon for this chaotic world and guiding the world forward."
The sonorous and powerful words kept echoing in the hall. Odebiao stopped talking at this moment, grinned his big teeth, and looked at the people around him happily.
When his speech came to an end, the audience and reporters raised their hands and applauded vigorously.
The photographer next to him kept pressing the shutter, trying to capture a photo and put it on tomorrow's front page news.
After all, America's first black president, his governing philosophy, and everything he does next, every thing, every point, affects Americans and the world.
If we get some tidbits, the newspaper will definitely sell out.
After the warm applause, it was time for questions.
The reporters in the audience were more ruthless than the others and asked more explosive questions than the others.
"Dear Mr. Odebiao, what do you think of the New York Times reporter calling you a savior?"
"Excuse me, did your ancestors really look up at the stars hundreds of years ago and leave behind the views of freedom and democracy?"
"Excuse me..."
The questions one after another made Odebiao want to curse, but his good upbringing made him shut up and start to pull back.
Soon, the video of the inaugural speech on the day was uploaded to his official website by major media.
Then media from all over the world downloaded and edited these videos, added their own opinions, and spread them to the world.
So, when Lin Yu returned to Lanling, he turned on the computer and was about to go to the international news, and saw the news popped up on the domestic website.
[Shocked, Hussein Odebiao wants to continue attacking Afghanistan and expresses his determination to fight evil to the end! ]
[The ruling philosophy of the black president Odebiao is to abandon all military force and give priority to the economy. 】
【Black President Odebiao is proud of his grandfather's bloodline...】
Looking at these distorted news, Lin Yu's face darkened, he took out a notebook and wrote a few words on it.
These damned things, they studied journalism.
We must find an opportunity to give these idiots a good eye drop and deal with them.
They can't even reprint a piece of news, and even make the original news a mess, they are simply beasts.
While cursing, he crawled to the Internet and searched carefully, and then found a high-definition source without too much noise, put on headphones, and started to do English listening.
After two hours of English listening, there were a few more lines on the notebook in front of him.
【Multilateral cooperation and international coordination! 】
【Smart power diplomacy! 】
【Equal emphasis on economic priority and anti-terrorism! 】
【National development security and international development responsibility! 】
【Respect for multiculturalism and promotion of social integration! 】
Looking at the few lines of text on the notebook, Lin Yu felt relieved but also a little weird.
Because these words were the governing philosophy of Odebiao in his previous life.
After this guy took office, he did follow these governing philosophies, abandoned the unilateralism of the Bush era, and integrated America into the whole world.
Then, he madly cut the leeks of the world.
In this life, this guy was running for vice president at first, so his governing philosophy was naturally not revealed. Later, he suddenly became a presidential candidate, and his governing philosophy was not clearly stated, and he even used the governing philosophy of the previous presidential candidate.
Now, seeing these familiar things again, he felt for the first time a strange world line contraction.
