Chapter 248 Big News in the Desert

Seven podiums are prepared on the stage.The one in the middle is the largest, and there are three on the left and one smaller.

No one thought that this year's top seven summit meeting would be held in this war-torn desert.Many reporters arrived at the last minute when they got the news.

After they waited hard, an old man wearing a dark blue suit, steady demeanor, with short white hair, a high forehead, and a square and honest face walked into the scene.

His name is Joe, and he is a gluttonous president who has been elected for less than half a year.As for the people around him who are tall, short, fat, thin, and dressed in different genders, they are the heads of state of the other six countries.

The bosses finally appeared, and the reporters who had been shivering for hours in the cold desert wind in the middle of the night finally gave out excited applause.

Joe walked to the podium, pressed his hands gently, and motioned for everyone to be quiet.Then he started his speech.

"I know you come from different countries. We have different languages, different skin colors, and we worship different gods."

Slowly finishing this sentence, he glanced at the reporters with different hair colors, skin colors and clothing, and then at the six servants beside him who were on the same stage as him.

"But it doesn't matter. We all uphold the universal value of freedom, share the same beliefs, and the same philosophy, and we have persisted until today."

"We shattered the empire of slavery, we lived through the long dark ages of the Middle Ages.

"We led the countries and defeated the countries controlled by the evil gods in an all-out war."

A certain reporter in the audience spat out the chewing gum that had been chewed until it had no taste anymore.

I don't read much, don't lie to me.

The slavery empire of Xizhou was a thousand years ago, and it perished due to internal decay and barbarian invasion.

At that time, Taotie had not yet been born, did the smashing of slavery have anything to do with you, Taotie?

However, after the birth of the country of Taotie, a large number of tribal people who robbed Nanzhou were sent to Xinzhou to be slaves.

To some extent, Taotie is the only country where slavery has been legal within a thousand years.

As for the three all-out wars, the gods of the West Continent and the East Continent fought in melee, while Taotie hid on Qingliang Mountain, far away from the ocean, while watching a theater and selling arms.

Taotie always goes to the last critical moment, raises his arms and stomps the defeated party to death, and finally achieves the fame of the victor.

But Joe continued with his speech.

"That's how we now have common values ​​and ideals that everyone agrees with, no matter which god we believe in."

He looked around with piercing eyes, and the crowd of reporters applauded sparsely, urging him to hurry up and get to the point.

"But now, again, we've had a serious challenge."

His brows furrowed, his tone became serious.

"In the new century certain old nations have risen again.

"The capitals that pursue profit like flies pursue carrion ignore our values ​​and raise her with our blood.

"Cheap goods are flooding the market, our factories are closing down, and our people are out of work and homeless.

"That country never abides by the common rules that should be in this world, nor does it ignore our common values.

"That country used our wealth and technology to build their military bases and develop their military technology.

"That country is building ports, railways, and oil pipelines in neighboring countries, trying to make all the countries attached to her.

"That country has never been equal to other countries, and wants to restore the historical tributary system.

"Right now, this country is eating our lunch and getting stronger every day!"

Speaking of excitement, Joe waved his fist and knocked on the table of the podium.

"While we are endlessly conferring, conferring, arguing, discussing, arguing, arguing.

"While we have been arguing for years to renovate an airport, repair a highway, and build a high-speed rail, there is no conclusion.

"This country has built a state-of-the-art airport, built [-] kilometers of high-speed rail, [-] kilometers of highways, and countless tunnels and bridges.

"Now this country starts ten high-speed rail lines, one hundred high-speed lines, and countless buildings a year, and their construction sites never stop.

"They also built roads, high-speed rail, ports and airports to neighboring countries, trying to connect their surroundings.

"They filled the sea to build roads and filled many islands in the ocean, where they deployed radars and missiles to block and detect our warships and surveillance planes.

"They threaten freedom of navigation, our military bases, and the weak allies we protect.

"They are the greatest threat to the free world!"

Applause... how about applause?

At the most critical moment, he waited for the applause again.After five seconds of silence, the applause finally broke out reluctantly.

After a series of parallel comparisons, even Joe, who spoke slowly, couldn't help getting excited and clenched his fists hard.

Waving his fist, he wanted to hear the responses from the reporters below, but unfortunately, there was no life below.

Because of these platitudes he was neither the first nor the last to say them, nor the best.

His predecessor, known as the "Roaring Lion of the West", was a thousand times better than him in speech.

For every politician, telling the same truth, but in a different way, can arouse completely opposite emotions.

If there is such a need, grabbing anyone at random can tell a lot of comparisons with the same meaning, but completely opposite praise and criticism.

For example:
"That country feeds more than one billion people.

"That country has lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty."

"That country ruled the desert.

"That country built the most highways, high-speed rail and bridges in the world.

"That country brought Internet access to the most remote places.

"A hundred years after the Third World War, that country has never used troops abroad.

"That country doesn't have a single military base abroad.

"That's why the country didn't send warships and planes around other people's houses all day long.

"That country actively invested in its neighbors, building roads, railways, airports and ports, and making the region prosperous."

But Joe was still Joe, and he was still going on.

"So, I want to tell everyone.

"If we are to safeguard our free world way of life, the international rules and values ​​we all agree on, we must unite!

"We can't sit back and watch an evil country rise again, because we insist on free trade, we can't go back to the era of tribute!"

In short, as long as the world is under the rule of gluttony, it is free trade.Once others try to surpass him, it becomes a tributary system.

The reporter, who continued to chew gum, scolded below: "Damn, he thought it was a campaign rally, and I'm a voter? What big news?"
