"… We are facing the worst recession since 2008. However, our president doesn't seem to be aware of this, or she noticed, but never faced this problem. Businesses and families can't get credit, pensions and wallets in our pockets are shrinking day by day, wages have fallen to the lowest point since the 2008 economic crisis, and our cost of living has reached an all-time high! "
"Let's see what our president has done for us. In order to make us temporarily forget the pain of not being able to repay our credit cards, she emphasized returning to the Asia-Pacific region, hyped up regional disputes, diverted domestic attention, and even took the aircraft carrier battle group to the Western Pacific Ocean … In the end, she shot herself in the foot and almost pushed the UA from an economic crisis to a world war. "
"Perhaps she thinks our lives are not bad enough. I heard that she is now discussing with her staff to restrict the import of medical drones. My only suggestion is to spend more time with those cute little angels. Maybe they will be taken away by the FBA tomorrow, and no drones will fly through the window to treat you. Thank God, we will return to the era of calling the doctor to make an appointment. Perhaps this will save us a lot of money. After all, in that era, we didn't take medicine when we had a fever … "
On the holographic screen, a man in a suit stood in the center of the supporters with a warm smile on his face. Unlike the extremely aggressive speech, his speech was not fast, and it could even be described as gentle and elegant. However, every word that floated out of his mouth was as sharp as a knife.
Judging from the art of this speech, Mr. Kennedy was indeed a character.
"What are you looking at?" Xia Shiyu crawled under the covers, held her chin with her hands, and laid down next to Jiang Chen.
"Joseph Kennedy's campaign statement." Jiang Chen dragged the holographic screen and moved the picture to Xia Shiyu's side.
"Kennedy?" Xia Shiyu was slightly taken aback, and she wondered, "The legendary Kennedy?"
"Yes, the legendary cursed surname." Jiang Chen looked at the man waving to his supporters on the holographic screen, and a playful smile suddenly appeared on his face. "Say, if I push this cursed guy to the throne of the president, would it be interesting?"
"You say it as if you have a vote." Xia Shiyu rolled her eyes and turned her back to him. She pouted and muttered, "Keep watching, I'm going to sleep first."
"Hehe, wife, it's not good to sleep so early." He sent a message to the Ghost Agent and turned off the holographic screen. Jiang Chen stretched out his arm, turned over, and hugged her smooth and delicate shoulder. He looked at the earlobe that was gradually turning red and gently blew in her ear with a smirk. "Didn't we agree? Whatever you didn't finish in the bathroom, leave it for the night. "
The redness climbed from her ears all the way to her neck. The word "wife" pierced her heart, and her whole body softened.
Although she also knew that this word did not belong to her alone.
But at least for now, even if it was only for now, he was the only one whose fingers were interlocked with his …
…
If the nightmare of long-distance travel was jet lag, then the nightmare of a trip to the Moon was never knowing if you were jet-lagged or not. Of course, compared to the beautiful scenery, this trouble was only a fly in the ointment.
A day on the Moon was equivalent to 27.3 Earth days, and the day and night were almost as long as two weeks. Looking at the sun that did not set, Jiang Chen yawned and wondered if he should change the calendar for Celestial Trade's colonies.
For example, he could stipulate that all colonies of Celestial Trade, regardless of the orbital period, use the Earth calendar and Xin time zone. Or he could create a dual-track system for Earth time and colony time …
Today, he had to go on a trip. The destination was more than 100 kilometers north of Lunar City.
After a month and a half of training on Coro Island, the recruits of the Earth Defense Alliance arrived on the Moon on a transport ship. Half of the three-month training period had passed, and they would spend the remaining month and a half on the Moon to receive low-gravity environment adaptation training.
Although there were no weapons, these volunteers were also combatants, and of course, they could not be stationed in Lunar City.
In order to accommodate these future officers of the Earth Fleet, Celestial Trade built a military base for them as a training facility.
The military base on the Moon was only completed a month ago. At present, in addition to the 500 volunteers, there were 1,000 Celestial Trade reserve crew stationed here.
The purpose of Jiang Chen's trip was to greet the future officers of the Earth Fleet and to inspect the military base.
Simply put, it was a military parade.
The tires set off billowing dust. Jiang Chen looked at the unchanging craters outside the window and couldn't help but yawn. At first, he thought the scenery on the Moon was quite interesting, but now he was starting to feel bored.
Two hours had passed since they set off.
Sitting next to him, Xia Shiyu, who was also tired of looking at the craters, began to look around the car. When her eyes stopped on the temperature timer on the armrest, she suddenly opened her mouth in surprise.
"It's already 90 degrees outside?"
Jiang Chen looked at Xia Shiyu, who was making a fuss, and his mouth curved up.
"It's nothing. It's not the hottest time yet. At noon, the surface temperature on the equator line can reach a maximum of 127 degrees."
"So hot?!"
"What else? Why do you think the buildings in Lunar City are painted white? "Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"… I thought it was to look good." Xia Shiyu's face turned red, and she whispered, "Then if we get off, won't we be roasted?"
The phrase "roasted" almost made Jiang Chen laugh out loud.
He didn't expect that this serious and strong woman would have such a cute side.
"127 degrees refers to the surface temperature." Jiang Chen glanced at Xia Shiyu's boots and joked, "As long as you don't lose your boots, you don't have to worry."
Of course, even though he said that, he still had to change out of his leather boots and put on professional equipment before he went out.
The three-hour drive was finally over, and the lunar rover was parked outside the military base.
In the locker room, Jiang Chen and Xia Shiyu changed into heavy spacesuits. After confirming that the function was normal, under the guidance of the staff, they passed through the hatch and stepped on the Moon.
The moment her feet landed on the Moon, Xia Shiyu, who put on the spacesuit, seemed to have forgotten her identity as a CEO. She was so excited that she jumped up and down like a child.
Jiang Chen looked at Xia Shiyu's back from afar, and a smile appeared on his face.
It was rare to see her in such an unstable state.
However, as the saying goes, "extreme joy begets sorrow." She, who was enjoying "soaring" on the moon, did not control her strength. As a result, she tumbled in the air and fell face-first onto the ground. Her entire body slid across the ground.
Looking at Xia Shiyu's embarrassing appearance, Jiang Chen almost couldn't help but laugh.
It wasn't because she was gloating, but because falling on flat ground was just too … too cute.
Jiang Chen stretched out his legs and gently floated to her side. He reached out his hand to pull her up from the ground and scolded her with a smile.
"I told you to behave, but you didn't listen. Now you're making a fool of yourself."
Although Xia Shiyu's face couldn't be seen through the dark mask, with Jiang Chen's understanding of her, she must be blushing at the moment. She bit her lower lip and wanted to find a hole to hide in …
