- January 21, 2061, China¡¯s traditional New Year¡¯s Eve.
This is the most important festival of the year for Chinese people, and it is still the same even after nearly a hundred years. There was a time when China faced the invasion of Western festivals such as Christmas and Thanksgiving. Some people even called for these festivals to be made national statutory holidays, but in the end this was not realized. Moreover, as China has become stronger in the past 20 to 30 years and its national pride has increased, traditional festivals are taking on a new lease of life!
This is a festival of reunion. No matter where you are, those who have time should always get home before twelve o'clock. This is a tradition that has been formed for thousands of years.
Modern and convenient transportation perfectly realizes this.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Kyoto time, it is the time when families are reunited and having fun. Countless Chinese families gather together and wait for the arrival of midnight.
??Meanwhile, it¡¯s 10 a.m. Eastern Time.
"Mr. James, the time has come."
Sterling, the current director of the CIA, stood in front of an old white man and said very respectfully: "Please come with me to the press conference room. The president's year-end press conference is about to begin" .This is a glorious moment that belongs to America, and it also belongs to you!!"
Mr. James, whom Sterling mentioned, looks to be at least seventy years old. Although he is wearing a sophisticated dark black suit and his hair is neatly combed, anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is in very poor condition. However, both his silver hair and pale face were obviously gray. When he stood up, he was even more unsteady and almost sat back down!
"My glory?"
After standing firm and taking a breath, Mr. James smiled slightly, his eyes full of ridicule: "Haha, the thief and murderer back then is now finally qualified to enjoy this honor?"
James¡¯s attitude flashed a hint of displeasure in Sterling¡¯s eyes, but he hesitated for a moment. He still smiled generously and said: "Mr. James, you are a legendary agent of the CIA, and you are also You are our well-deserved unsung hero, and of course you are qualified to enjoy this honor!"
The implication is that no matter how James has been treated over the years. But the country has not forgotten his efforts and contributions!
I understood what the other person said. James was silent for a while. He sighed softly and said: "Where is that old guy Cook? Is he here today?"
"No."
Sterling also sighed softly and shook his head.
"What? Doesn't he dare to come and see me, an old friend?"
James raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile on his lips.
After taking a deep breath. Sterling shook his head again and whispered: "Just a month ago, he passed away at his home in Washington"
"died?"
James was stunned immediately.
If there is one person that James hates the most in the past twenty years, it is undoubtedly Cook. It was him who made him retire from his beloved secret service career, and it was he who kept him under house arrest for twenty years! But when he heard the news of Cook's death, James still felt a strange feeling in his heart.
It¡¯s not happiness, nor sadness, it¡¯s a very strange feeling.
"Mr. James, I'm afraid we have to rush to the press room immediately. But I must remind you that today is a big day. Although the president specially invited you to attend, I must remind you"
"rest assured!"
Before Sterling could finish what he said, James had already waved his hand and said sadly: "Although I have been under house arrest for twenty years, during these twenty years I lived in a luxurious villa and drank fine wine. , with the most beautiful women accompanying me every day, I won¡¯t do anything stupid!¡±
"As long as you understand."
Sterling smiled slightly, nodded and said: "Then let's go to the press conference room now"
"Ladies and gentlemen."
At 10:30, the White House press secretary stood on the stage and said loudly with a smile on his face: "Now, I invite Mr. Thomson, President of the United States!"
¡°Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoosh¡¡±
The applause was not too warm. For a young president who has been in office for only a year and is not yet fifty years old, everyone is generally not very cold about it. Especially since today's press conference is mainly composed of local American reporters, everyone is not very interested in his new role. It was very distasteful to forcefully push for new additional funding projects at the beginning of the year. As much as 110 billion US dollars of funds were allocated in one year.Years later, they were stuffed into the bottomless pit of that "top secret project" again!
Amid the applause, current U.S. President Thomson walked briskly onto the podium.
Seeing the excited expression in the smile on Thomson's face, everyone felt a little strange. You must know that not long ago, Thomson had just received a round of criticism and criticism in the country, because in In the past two years, the unemployment rate among Americans has risen to a very high level, but he still firmly started to push for a new round of funding. This is a bit unacceptable!
Journalists have prepared a lot of tough questions, ready to embarrass this tough and young president!
"Compared to the reporters' doubts, Thomson was in a very happy mood at this time.
No, his mood at this time can no longer be described as happy! Every time he thinks that every president in the previous two decades has been looking forward to appearing at such a moment, but in the end only he, a newcomer who has only been in office for only one year, gets this golden opportunity, Thomson almost can't help laughing. Come on!
In fact, thinking of this now, Thomson found that he had a tendency to grin again!
Fortunately, Thomson also knew where he was now and suppressed his excitement. He began to speak before today's meeting: "Ladies and gentlemen, it is a great honor to invite you all to attend this year's press conference. , please start asking questions now.¡±
"Whoops!"
Almost as soon as Thomson finished speaking, countless arms were raised high!
Press conferences in recent years have almost always been conducted in the form of questions. Reporters asked questions that concerned the public the most, and the president answered them one by one. This year is no exception!
"Mr. Hanks."
Without much hesitation, Thomson directly named Associated Press reporter Hanks. As the "national news agency" of the United States, the influence of the Associated Press is unquestionable, especially Mr. Hanks, who is known for his sharp rhetoric. It can be said that it has been a headache for several presidents before and after him, and Thomson is no exception.
In fact, this is also a characteristic of Americans, no matter what kind of press conference it is. The Associated Press is definitely the No. 1 pick. Then there are other domestic news organizations and influential Western news media such as the BBC. They sit in the front two rows. Big-name reporters like Hanks even have their own dedicated lounges. As for reporters from other countries. Such as Japan, India, South Korea, etc. Just sit in the back.
China is a special case. With the rise of the country's economic, political and military strength, the influence of the media has become increasingly powerful, especially world-class media such as Xinhua News Agency and National Television. There was a time when Americans had to put their reporters in front, but in the past ten years, due to the invisible confrontation between China and the United States, they have been moved back!
At the press conference in China, of course Americans received the same treatment!
Both Hanks himself and other reporters were accustomed to such separate treatment, so he did not hesitate. He stood up and asked loudly: "Mr. President, my first question is, according to tradition, it should be placed at the end of the year." Why was the press conference held at the beginning of this year? And as far as I know, you rarely showed up in the past month. Is there any special reason?"
"Yes, there is a special reason!"
Without any hesitation, Thomson immediately smiled and nodded: "Because in the past month, all my attention has been on one thing! This thing is so important that I must Leave everything behind and concentrate all your energy!"
"What's going on?"
Hanks was startled and immediately chased after him and asked.
"This is it"
Smiling, Thomson shook his head and said with a smile: "Mr. Hanks, after everyone's questions are over, I will give a very detailed explanation on this matter! Please wait patiently for a while."
He didn¡¯t get the answer he wanted, but there was no trace of disappointment on Hanks¡¯ face. Instead, he became extremely curious about Thomson¡¯s explanation. It's just that he asked two questions in a row. According to the usual practice, he couldn't ask any more questions, so he could only sit down and wait for others to ask questions.
"Mr. President, what are your thoughts on the domestic opposition to your special appropriation proposal during this period?"
Another reporter stood up and asked loudly and unceremoniously.
"about this point"
?????????????????????Pointing directly at the pain point, Thomson not only showed no embarrassment or avoidance, but the smile on his face became even brighter: "Same as the answer I gave to Mr. Hanks just now, I will answer it specifically later! In fact, this should be It¡¯s the same problem!¡±
"Boom!"
As soon as Thomson finished speaking, the entire press conference hall suddenly went into shock!
Are both a problem?
Any qualified reporter¡¯s extremely sensitive heart will immediately start beating violently!
Everyone knows very well which department and direction the special appropriation is targeted at. Regarding that major scientific research project that "can determine the future of the United States," all Americans hate and love it. What I hate is that in the past twenty years, that project has swallowed up countless dollars, like a bottomless pit that can never be full. Everyone who loves it knows that it determines the future of a country, and it is far away in China on the other side of the ocean. The funds invested by China are definitely no less than those of the United States!
Now that I heard Thomson¡¯s words, the press conference was postponed for a month, also because of this project. The meaning contained in it is self-evident!
For a time, the press conference hall became a mess.
¡°Absolutely huge news!¡±
Such an idea immediately arose in the minds of all reporters!
Looking around, all the American reporters were excited and excited. Reporters from other countries and regions were worried, especially reporters from China, whose faces were even more ugly at this time!
"Whoops!"
Just when the reporters were still shocked by the article, Hanks' right hand suddenly raised high!
"Mr. Hanks!"
Thomson¡¯s eyes were full of smiles, and he nodded gently to Hanks.
"Mr President!"
Hanks¡¯ voice even trembled a little, and he said loudly: ¡°I apply to end the question and answer session of this press conference immediately! I think the reporters here have no objection to this, right?¡±
"No!"
The reporters¡¯ answers sounded almost at the same time, unusually neat!
At this moment, both American reporters and reporters from other countries are very eager to get answers. Even reporters from China are no exception!
"All right."
Thomson has a great heart. Naturally, he would not object to this proposal and said with a smile: "Then, let's skip the question and answer session and start directly with the most important content of this press conference! In addition, I want to remind everyone that today's press conference will not Limit external contact. Everyone can send the message out in real time! Give everyone one hour, and our press conference will continue after one hour!"
¡°Crash la la la la la la la la la la la.¡±
After hearing these words. There was another commotion in the press room. All reporters immediately opened their communicators and began to contact their respective headquarters. They shouted and yelled for a while. Various languages ????and sounds made the serious press room confused. Like a vegetable market!
In addition to reporters from the American continent, reporters from other continents have some headaches. You know, China is attending the event, and Europe is in the early morning. In order to make people at the headquarters understand the importance of today's news, many The reporter even yelled into the communicator!
The only one who doesn¡¯t need to worry is NBC, because they were notified a few days ago to be responsible for the national live broadcast of this press conference, and several cameras have already been set up.
After a full hour, the press hall gradually became quiet.
Hundreds of communication lines have been established. In addition to reporters in the press room, more people in dozens of countries around the world are on the other end of the communicator!
An hour later, Thomson entered the venue again on time!
"Everyone!"
Compared with an hour ago, Thomson looked even more energetic. Under the gaze of hundreds of people, he stood in front of the microphone and said loudly: "Before the press conference continues, please allow me to solemnly ask for a few words. A special guest!"
"Special guest?"
The reporters immediately widened their eyes!
¡°Now I would like to invite Mr. Aum, the 49th President of the United States, Mr. Rafis, the 50th President, and Mr. Douglas, the 51st President of the United States!¡±
With Thomson¡¯s introduction, three Americans, and even faces familiar to most people around the world, appeared in front of everyone one after another!
From 2041 to 2060, three US presidents in twenty years!
There was another commotion in the press hall.?, and along with this commotion, Thomson continued to loudly say: "In addition to the three gentlemen, there are some people who are also at today's press conference. However, due to their special status, it is inconvenient for me to introduce them to you. Here, what I want to emphasize to everyone is that they have also made great contributions to the United States and today, and on behalf of the American people, I want to thank you!"
Except for the three old presidents standing on the stage, several people in the audience had happy smiles on their faces.
Of course, including James!
None of the three old presidents sat down, and even Om, who was walking tremblingly, stood up straight, listening to Thomson's speech: "Everyone, I think everyone has guessed what the main content of today's press conference is! It's Yes, that¡¯s right, it¡¯s about the secret scientific research project that has cost the United States hundreds of billions of dollars every year and has lasted for twenty years! I am very honored and proud to tell you that just five days ago, our project The great project has finally reached a point, which means that our twenty years of hard work have finally paid off!¡±
"Boom!"
The press conference hall is boiling again!
Although everyone had guessed the result, when Thomson admitted it personally, everyone's heart beat violently again.
"Really big news!"
Curiosity about the super-large projects of China and the United States is not limited to their own people. In fact, as Europe secretly began its own huge confidential research three years ago, Japan and Russia began to mobilize funds on a large scale last year. and neuroscientists, India is jumping up and down anxiously, looking for useful information everywhere, and madly increasing its investment in the field of neuroscience!
The whole world has long been overflowing with curiosity as to what this research is about!
This is why every U.S. president will be widely criticized and questioned for the ever-increasing appropriations, but each time, they will continue to strongly promote the appropriations, and will never affect their career because of this matter. reason!
It¡¯s just that China and the United States started this research too early, at least 16 years earlier than the third-ranked Europe, so the eyes of the world are still on the two countries! No one doubts that the two succeeded first, the only question is which one is more successful.
But judging from today¡¯s press conference, Americans are still ahead.
Several reporters from China were undoubtedly extremely agitated. Everyone¡¯s reaction was to leave the press room and leave this place! But as media workers, professional ethics and the needs of the country require them to sit down, listen quietly, and at the same time send the situation back to the country!
Under everyone's eager gaze, facing a camera that might transmit the footage to the whole world, Thomson felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction in his heart, but at the same time, his expression became extremely serious, and he said in a deep voice : "Ladies and gentlemen, I know that everyone is extremely curious about our scientific research project that has lasted for twenty years and invested hundreds of billions of dollars every year. So first of all, please allow me to summarize this in the simplest sentence. The essential significance of this project!¡±
¡°That is, using our own hands as humans, we can open God¡¯s restricted area in ourselves!¡± (To be continued.) - Didn't finish reading?
