Chapter 609: White House Press Conference
The Stars and Stripes stood in the evening breeze, and in front of the three-foot podium, the huge bald sea eagle national emblem pattern was extremely eye-catching, and behind the cordon, hundreds of journalists from dozens of countries around the world set up long guns and short guns, eagerly waiting for this very meaningful press conference.
That's right, here is the front lawn of the White House, the US presidential palace.
The Navy SEAL incident in Bangkok has attracted the attention of the whole world, and today, the White House in Washington must explain this to the world.
"Mr. President has arrived!" There was a slight commotion in the crowd, and the reporters raised their cameras in unison.
President Johnson, dressed in a black suit, white shirt and blue striped tie, walked onto the podium with a solemn face.
The flashing lights were flashing non-stop, and television viewers around the world were watching for his upcoming speech.
It is about the dignity and honor, image and status of the United States.
Whether it was a sincere apology or a declaration of war, it was all in his thoughts.
The most tense moment of the century has finally appeared in Washington once again.
This is the source of war!
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, all Americans!" President Johnson began his speech with the usual seriousness, not preparing a speech, and his eloquence was sufficient for any crisis situation.
"I believe the whole world is questioning the same question, why they have remained silent, why it has been more than 10 hours since the incident, and the White House, which acted quickly and decisively, has still not released the whole story of this incident to the world. You must be thinking that the Americans are plotting to start a war, just like Iraq, Kosovo, Libya, and now, the Yankees are going to attack Southeast Asia, to attack China!"
There was a good-natured laugh below, and people could hear that the white president was laughing at himself, and before that, there was indeed gossip spreading, and war tendencies were the most common one.
President Johnson suddenly smiled, waved his hand, and said loudly into the microphone: "I'm sorry, you guessed wrong! The United States is a staunch supporter of world peace and a defender of justice! Iraq, Kosovo, Libya...... The United States has never provoked a free and democratic country, but this time, our brave and fearless Navy SEALs, their enemies are not civilians or any country in Asia. ”
"Mr. President, who is their enemy?" a female CNN reporter interjected in a loud voice.
"Wise question!" President Johnson said, pointing at her, a look of appreciation.
"Our enemy is the international drug trafficking organization in the Golden Triangle!" immediately afterward, his remarks triggered another burst of flashing lights.
The SEALs wiped out all the mercenaries, and they were rumored to be the forces of the Golden Triangle.
"That's right, it's a righteous act, a charge against evil. As we all know, terrorism has always been the target of the United States' all-out crackdown, and the Golden Triangle forces entrenched in Southeast Asia have provided criminal wealth for non-** armed forces and organizations in the Middle East, Burma, and Thailand.
It turns out that this is the case, and it seems to make some sense. Otherwise, why would the Navy SEALs fight desperately with the Golden Triangle mercenaries?
"Ladies and gentlemen, the United States continues to uphold justice and peace, and our military is the forerunner of the American spirit. Before the press conference began, members of the 9th Theater Marine Corps stationed in Subic Bay in Southeast Asia and the Air Force of Diego Garcia Base in the Indian Ocean had launched a military strike against the Golden Triangle!" the president said, holding up his fingers** "In order to maintain the secrecy of the operation, we have to postpone the press conference until now, believing that within an hour, the White House and the Pentagon will receive the first good news." ”
"Mr. President, please elaborate on the plan of action for a military strike in the Golden Triangle. A black journalist raised his hand.
"Yes. Johnson gushed: "This is a surgical strike, the first phase is aimed at eliminating the large-scale armed forces of the Golden Triangle, the second stage, the Pentagon will unite the ground forces of Thailand, Burma, and China to carry out a clean-up operation in this area, and we expect to pull out the cancer of the Golden Triangle headed by Hu Huairen in three to five months, and completely eliminate the root cause of the Asian drug trafficking industry chain." This is not just the struggle of the United States, this is the goal that the whole of Asia, the whole world is fighting for, to declare war on evil, to fight for freedom, for the prosperity of mankind!"
"Here, in my capacity as President of the White House and Commander-in-Chief of the three armed services, I would like to pay tribute to the 12 Navy SEALs who sacrificed their lives for human civilization and justice, and express my heartfelt apologies to the members of the Chinese tour group who were troubled and frightened during this operation. Looking to the future, may God be with us, God bless the United States of America, and thank you!"
Syllable!
The TV turns off.
In the Kremlin president's office, President Putin is lost in thought.
After a while, he picked up the phone on the table and conveyed instructions to the state strategic economic department: "Immediately contact the Chinese economic and trade delegation to promote the large-scale development of Siberia." ”
No matter how beautifully President Johnson's lie is, in the eyes of senior politicians, it is just a sexy fig leaf. However, the meaning reflected in it makes people have to think deeply, the White House is bowing to China!
Even the number one superpower has endured, so what reason does Russia have to be more serious with China? What President Putin wants at the moment is to quickly strengthen mutually beneficial strategic cooperation with China and the Strait and promote the rapid development of bilateral interests.
At the Royal Palace of Thailand, His Majesty Durad cordially summoned Prime Minister Ninara.
"You've handled this very well. His Majesty smiled with satisfaction: "At the same time, the interests of many parties have been taken care of, and the biggest crisis has been resolved, and I would like to congratulate and thank you on behalf of the royal family." ”
Flattered, Ninara folded her hands and expressed the highest respect of the Thai people to the king.
Durad said with a smile: "Ninara, I have always believed that you are the most leading and promising prime minister in Thai politics, so I will present this opinion to the public in tomorrow's morning paper." ”
"Ah......" Ninara never dreamed that she would have the support of the king, which would undoubtedly greatly stabilize her current position, even if the Yellow Shirts made a lot of trouble, they would not be able to make waves.
In Thailand, the king is so respected by the people that it is impossible for anyone to question his words.
"Oh, and the agreement on the Clark Canal has been successfully signed, right?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, Huaxia has invested two billion yuan and is expected to complete the first phase of the project within three years. Ninara excitedly said: "In the future, hundreds of thousands of new jobs will be created, creating immeasurable wealth and regional influence for Thailand." ”
"Good, great!" His Majesty the King got up from his seat and said with infinite longing: "The golden waterway of Asia will go straight to the eastern world from here! This is the blessing of all the people, the blessing of Thailand! The Three Treasures will become the Four Treasures!"
"Yes. Ninara's eyes twinkled with a little starlight, and at this moment, she thought, if it weren't for that man, would the world be like this?
He alone has influenced the world and the course of human history!
Boom! Boom!
Artillery fire exploded in the heart of the Golden Triangle, and mercenary soldiers with heavy casualties fled for their lives deep into the jungle.
"Fuck, who? who is it?" Hu Huairen had just fled back to the Golden Triangle from Bangkok, and he was greeted by a sea of fire and explosions, and he didn't even have time to figure out what kind of forces were frantically attacking the Golden Triangle.
"Be careful, General!"
As soon as a soldier's voice fell, the sky above his head, three open spaces with elongated orange-red tail flames** reflected General Hu's angry vision.
Bang!
The jeep exploded into countless pieces.
Hu Huairen, who has ruled the Golden Triangle for decades, was crushed in the ** attack, and he didn't understand who died until he died.
The F22 fighter fleet dominates the bloody sky of the Golden Triangle!
