The President of Latvia, Durm, signed a huge deal with the Randall Group. The sales plan for a super high-speed railway system connecting the entire New Eastern European Union was signed.
With Latvia as the core, a new railway network was about to be born on the land of New Eastern Europe. Including the major economic cities of these countries, they would be included in this railway network.
The integration of New Eastern Europe had been put on the table. The widespread impact caused by this was bound to make some people feel very uncomfortable.
For example, the President of the United States.
"What does Durm want to do? Does he want to establish a second Soviet Union? Unite the CIS countries again! "In the White House's official residence, the President roared at his confidant.
He had reason to roar because, as the world's pole, the United States had never wanted other countries to challenge its authority.
Once upon a time, there was a country that fought against the Soviet Union, but in the end, it was defeated. It was not easy to strive to become a world-class big shot. How could he easily give up power? Let others challenge his authority? The President couldn't do this kind of thing.
So he quickly said to his adviser, "Donald, help me inform the Minister of Defense that we need to have a meeting. Our fleet needs to conduct a military exercise on the high seas! In addition, go and inform our allies and let them put pressure on Latvia. "
"I believe it's not just us who don't want to see the integration of New Eastern Europe, the European Union, Russia, and China. They don't want to see all this happen! We need to unite and kill this bud in the cradle. "
The President's voice fell, but as the President's confidant, 60-year-old Donald didn't move. Logically speaking, he should have written down all the President's words and immediately ran out to do business and make a phone call.
Because of the special nature of the US presidential election, many presidents didn't even really deal with local affairs before being elected to this position, nor did they serve as governors or other governors.
Many of them may only be state legislators, or even just stars and rich people. Many of them had no experience in governing. Being in charge of the world's most powerful country was likely to be a joke.
Therefore, the adviser was an important support for the President of the United States. Just like a few hundred years ago, China used the eight-legged essay to select scholars, but the scholars could not become officials, so they had to ask the Zhejiang Advisor to guide them from behind the scenes.
To the president, Donald was equivalent to his Zhejiang advisor. At least in these years in power, although the president did not make many great achievements, at least he was not bad. He could even write a memoir after leaving office to record his contributions over the years. Donald's help was indispensable to all of this.
So when Donald sat motionless on the chair, the first thing the president thought of was not to get angry at him, but to look at him with some doubt. "What's wrong?"
Donald sat calmly on the chair. After the president calmed down, he said, "Mr. President, what is the purpose of all this?"
The president replied, "Naturally, it's to prevent the core interests of our country from being touched!"
Donald shook his head. "You're right, sir, but have you thought about the consequences of starting all of this? Because of the emergence of new energy, we finally got rid of the mud pool in the Middle East. "
"We no longer have to send tens of thousands of Americans every year to fight with a group of people they don't know in places they don't know. This will be the credit of your term. In the future, when people mention your name, they will associate it with the president who calmed the overseas war. "
The president was very satisfied with what Donald said. He nodded. Although the main reason for not fighting overseas war was not because of peace, but because the costs and benefits began to be unbalanced. But it didn't matter. Ordinary people would not care about all of this.
Donald continued, "But what about the incident in New Eastern Europe? That can't be stopped by protests and sanctions. Those countries have already steeled their hearts to stand with Latvia and Dum. "
"As for Dum?" Donald laughed dryly. "Does he care about any other country in the world? Latvia can go to war at any time. And we can't go thousands of miles away to start a war without rest or even benefits. "
"What's in Eastern Europe? Mr. President, are you going to kidnap a group of female refugees from Ukraine? "Donald made a cold joke, but the president did not laugh.
His chief of staff's analysis was not wrong. For a country like Latvia, if you didn't plan to go to war. Therefore, any means he used would be meaningless to Dum.
Latvia was originally a closed country, and it had been for many years. If Dum was determined to unite with New Eastern Europe, then with Latvia's accumulated level of technology, it might really be able to make the poor people in Eastern Europe soar to the sky.
In particular, the arrival date of Helium-3 was getting closer and closer.
When the price of energy was infinitely low, even close to the state of no money, then even if it was a waste of energy, Latvia could make the entire New Eastern Europe Union live a self-sufficient life.
After all, there were so many countries, so many people, and so much land. All of this could happen!
Thinking of this, the president felt a headache. Latvia was really a hedgehog. It made people feel like they didn't know where to start.
It was impossible to start a war. If there was a world war, he would be marked as a disgrace in human history. Even if he won, it might not be good because now everyone knew that Earth was not the only civilization in the universe.
There was already an even more advanced civilization that had visited Earth in a naked way.
And even if a war was started, there was no guarantee that they would win.
Just as the president was thinking, Donald said a key sentence, "And, sir, don't forget, there is only one year left in your term."
The president: …
"Do you think I have no chance of re-election? Four terms, just like Roosevelt? " The president looked at Donald expectantly. Donald was a confidant who had stood by his side during the election and helped him win the election.
Donald said bluntly, "Impossible, Mr. President. Times are different. In peaceful times, people can accept the obvious, rich businessmen, or other people to be the president. But not in this era. "
"The visit of aliens caused the people to fall into panic. Although this was suppressed by the efforts of superheroes. But people still have fear in their hearts. In this era, people want to see a strong person, a strong and mighty lion king to lead the overall situation. "
After Donald said this, he looked at the president and added in his heart, "Not a fat and strong old man who has a scandal with a young model."
"The results of the election in New York City are out. The former deputy commissioner of the New York City Police Department, George Stancy, was elected by a landslide. Look at him, you can understand that he is a mighty old lion. This is the image of a leader that people want to see. "
Donald's words made the president's heart cool down. He sat on the chair and said calmly, "Then who do you think will be elected after I leave office? Steve Rogers? "
Donald shrugged but did not answer the question. He changed the topic and said, "The key now is that you need a perfect ending. No matter who your next president is, as long as you are fully prepared and hand over the United States to him, then your evaluation in history will be quite high."
"In this critical era, you have played a role in connecting the previous and the following."
The president leaned against the back of the chair and said, "The loss of power is really not something I'm used to."
"You have to get used to it, sir. You are already 67 years old. Why don't you quietly spend the last year of your presidency?" Donald had completely convinced the president.
The president of the United States decided to watch the fire from the shore.
At the same time, many people like Donald were running around the world. Britain, France, and Germany, which were trying to research their first generation of spaceships, Russia, which felt uneasy because of Latvia. There was also China, which was thinking about whether to intervene in the integration of new Eastern Europe.
Because of the last cooperation with Latvia to wipe out the Ten Rings Gang, China and Latvia had also established some connections. The integrated railway system in Eastern Europe was also an opportunity for China. It was in line with the country's strategic concept, although it was not in a leading position.
But this was not necessarily a very good opportunity. China was thinking about how to deal with this matter.
Those things had nothing to do with Donald. When Donald returned to his home, he hugged his old wife and kissed his four-year-old granddaughter. He went to his independent office on the second floor.
As soon as he sat down, the phone on his desk rang.
"Hello, Mr. Donald." The voice on the phone was polite, calm, but pleasant. Donald had heard it many times over the past few days. He knew that it was an intelligent program, the artificial intelligence developed by Tony Stark, J.A.R.V.I.S.
"Hello," Donald replied simply. He would not be rude just because the other party was a robot.
J.A.R.V.I.S. on the other end of the phone said, "Your reward has been deposited in the Dutch bank, and the Royal Princess yacht is moored at the dock of the Spanish villa by the sea."
Donald said dryly, "I told you, I'm not here for that."
J.A.R.V.I.S. said, "But this is your reward. I've already agreed to it."
Donald grabbed the phone, stood up, and said seriously, "If Tony Stark is really going to give me any reward, then don't use cash! I know he has a good relationship with Captain Rogers. Please ask him to arrange for me to meet Captain Rogers! "
J.A.R.V.I.S. on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, then finally said, "Then I will inform you, sir."
After hanging up the phone, Donald leaned heavily in his chair. He had enough of being an aide to a president who was not very smart and had a desire for power that was greater than his ability.
His political ideals and revenge did not unfold when he entered the White House.
Just like what he said to Mr. President, everyone expected a lion to lead the flock. And the only one he wanted to follow was the lion king!
