Chapter 183: Contradictory and complicated

   "Your Excellency, Frank has been shot dead!"

   Outside the conference hall used for press releases in the presidential palace, a security chief in a killing suit whispered a report in the ear of the president who was reading the manuscript.

  The manuscript in Mr. President's hand slowly put down. He glanced at his chief security officer and wiped his face, "This is really bad news, but are the hostages safe?"

   The security officer nodded solemnly, "Frank refused to communicate with the news from the scene and attempted to hurt the hostages. Our people were forced to shoot in desperation. The hostages are safe."

Mr. President nodded in satisfaction, "This is very good. It is my duty to protect the safety of federal citizens..." After he finished speaking, he picked up the manuscript again, and after a few glances, he nodded to the chief security officer and chief of staff. Nodded, stepped into the meeting room.

   The moment he walked into the conference room, the flash almost turned it into a silver world, and the sudden light was a bit uncomfortable even for presidents who were used to meeting the media.

   He squinted his eyes slightly and walked to the side of the chair, his eyes drooping, which made him feel better.

   Twenty-four hours have passed since the incident broke out yesterday morning. No matter what others think, the media will become crazy first, and then public opinion.

The matter has spread, and it is obviously not practical to cover the cover again, and it will make people feel that Mr. President and his cabinet government are incompetent. They can only find a way to solve it, at least let those blocked at the door of the bank or the exchange. The ordinary investors at the door calmed down.

After a few seconds, the flashing frequency of the flash light decreased, but all the reporters raised their arms high, and the voice of his chief of staff came from the headset worn by Mr. President, "Second row number one. Four ladies wearing blue silk scarves..."

  Mr. President looked up, and there was indeed a lady wearing a blue silk scarf in the second row. He casually pointed, "Lady wearing a blue silk scarf..."

   When the female reporter stood up, the hands held high by the others immediately retracted, grabbed the pen, and prepared to write something at any time.

   The female reporter named by Mr. President waited for the meeting room to become quieter and asked, “Mr. President, since yesterday, people have discovered that the war bonds issued abroad cannot be cashed. What can we do and what can you do?”

Some reporters frowned. This question is not sharp enough. It is very ordinary, so ordinary that it can be said to be of little value, because even if these questions are not asked, the president or his press officer will finally say it. This is tantamount to a waste of a question. chance.

   But since I asked, let’s record it.

   Mr. President showed his composure and calmness, and he almost opened his mouth. "We have urgently contacted the bond issuing country, and the federal embassy abroad is also in urgent consultation with the local government."

"So far we have not come up with any effective solutions for the time being, but I can assure the people that we have not wasted every minute and every second, our ambassador, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, from yesterday to the present moment. I have never rested."

   "If there is any new progress, it will be announced to the society as soon as possible!"

   The answer was quite satisfactory, without any bright spots. Some reporters gave up recording when they were halfway through. This answer can be directly used in the draft.

   Generally speaking, news conferences such as the president’s speech will have a draft, which is full of official answers and core ideas. The mainstream media will respect the content of this draft, and make some processing without changing the core.

However, some non-mainstream media dare to speak. They always make a serious press conference look like a conspiracy press conference. They also rely on this method to gain more readers and subscription.

Immediately afterwards, some lucky reporters were named and asked questions. The questions asked by these reporters were too modest. This disappointed many reporters because the question and answer session of this press conference became Mr. President alone. One-man show.

   This kind of situation is becoming more and more common. When Mr. President first took office, he would not have arranged these reporters to hold press conferences steadily. At that time, he was very passionate, but look at it now.

   Almost every press conference he personally participated in was like this, full of official questions and full of official answers. There will be no surprises in the whole press conference.

   Don’t those “official media” themselves feel sick?

   Actually, it doesn’t matter whether you are nauseated or not. What’s important is how to avoid embarrassment when the current situation is uncertain.

   After half an hour, the press conference was over. Mr. President left quickly, and his press officer took over his job.

Journalists still don’t need to think about getting valuable answers from the news officer, because when the question becomes sharp, he will say that he is just a news officer and can only answer the pre-prepared answers, which is still nothing. Ways, and a deep feeling of helplessness.

   After coming out of the conference room, the president took off some electronic devices that made him feel uncomfortable. These gadgets weighed several kilograms and hanging on his body was not a good experience.

   He returned to his office and recruited the chief of staff and the staff. He needed some suggestions and countermeasures to solve the current problems.

   There are some things that can’t be dragged.

   "Mr. President, we discussed for a day yesterday and finally came to a conclusion, but..." He looked at other people and then at Mr. President, "But you may not like it."

  Mr. President frowned, "What kind of answer?" He said, jokingly in a non-joking way, "For example, let me submit my resignation to Congress?"

This is obviously not a funny joke. The chief of staff laughed twice, "We think that the most important thing we should do now is to let things develop naturally and give some simple answers if necessary. This is more in line with our current situation and ours. Position."

  Mr. President's brows became tighter and tighter, and he cut out his ears, "Sorry, I don't quite understand what you are talking about. Can you say more in detail?"

   The chief of staff began to explain in more detail, "We are not doing anything for the time being, because no matter what we do, it is difficult for us to change the attitudes of those countries, and they will not be able to honor it for us, especially these victorious countries."

The unrealized war bonds mainly came from the victorious countries. The defeated countries were willing to exchange these bonds and made an announcement in the name of the country. They postponed the exchange of bonds issued before the war in the international community for one year, and based on the original redemption ratio. Up, up 15%.

   But everyone knows that when they can cash it out, the money and currency they gave will be worthless.

   The president nodded. He knew, "Then your solution is to do nothing?" He leaned back, not seeing any change in attitude or expression, "Then how can I explain to the citizens?"

   The chief of staff quickly corrected some small mistakes in his words, "It is not you who explain to the people, but how those countries that refuse to do so will explain to the ordinary people in the international community!"

"In fact, the staff agreed that this is actually a good thing, because we inadvertently solved some very critical issues, and transferred the contradictions from the different positions of the two governments to the ordinary ones of the government of one country and the entire international community. Among the people."

"Before this, the failure of these victorious countries to honour the bonds can be said to be a national behavior. The target they targeted was also the Baylor Federation as an individual. But now their opponents have become ordinary people, and they are a bit shameless in doing so. ."

"We can unite some countries that face the same problems as us, even the defeated countries, and build momentum in international public opinion. Privately, if one or two small countries can cash in part of the bonds, this will break the alliance between the victorious nations. Trust."

   "For more important things, we can use'protecting the legitimate rights and interests of the people' as an excuse to unite a part of the strength in the international community. Facts have proved that complete isolation is not desirable!"

  Mr. President listened and thought about it seriously. I have to say that these things the chief of staff said are indeed worthy. As the biggest supporter of the isolation policy, Mr. President has actually realized the drawbacks of the isolation policy at this time.

When the Baylor Federation is in trouble ~lightnovelpub.net~ no one will stand up and give him a certain amount of help. Because of isolation in the international community, he does not have the slightest status. This is also the victorious country can freely use Baylor. Federal reasons.

   His thoughts spread very quickly, and his fingers tapped on the desktop unconsciously, "League of Neutral Nations?"

   The chief of staff nodded slightly. This is the idea behind him. Since isolationism has been determined to be unworkable, use another relatively modest way to change the current position of the Baylor Federation in the international community.

Taking into account that Mr. President came to power through this policy, they will unite some neutral countries without changing their neutral stance, so that the people will not feel the failure of isolationism, and at the same time they will be able to use the power of the people to solve some problems. , Can be said to be the perfect solution.

   "So what about the people who are making trouble outside, how to solve it?" Mr. President quickly finalized the decision and asked a very sharp question.

   If pointedly, the chief of staff said, "There must be some people responsible for this matter..."

   Scapegoat, Back Pot Man, this kind of gameplay has not known how many years it has been used, so simple that almost everyone knows this situation, but people just use this set.

   Mr. President nodded, "If there is no other way, just do it, I hope we can see the result as soon as possible."
