Chapter 381 The Birth of a Female President
Chapter 381 The Birth of a Female President
Walk into the office and close the door.
Rick Archibald smiled and looked at the motherlander sitting behind the desk.
This man is wearing casual clothes today, with blond hair combed casually, wearing glasses, and reading a book.
In the reception area of the office, Victoria Newman put down the newspaper and smiled at him.
Mr. President opened his mouth to say something, but Azu raised his hand and raised a finger, signaling him not to speak for now.
Rick Archibald swallowed the words that came to his lips, and at the same time, a trace of anger flashed in his heart.
No matter what he said, he was also the President of the Federation, and he was respected wherever he went. When he visited other countries, the leaders of those countries and the local nobles did not rush to approach him.
But when he came to the Tower of Seven and came to Azu, he was left out in the cold.
General Mike was also furious, and was about to step forward to argue, but was stopped by Mr. President with his eyes.
Rick Archibald kept telling himself in his heart.
Never give the people of the motherland a chance to make trouble.
As a successful person who has been in politics for many years, Rick Archibald knew very early that patience is an indispensable quality for success.
So even now he wished he could shoot the man who was reading a book, but he still had enough patience to stand there with a smile.
Newman in the reception area didn't seem to have any plans to greet the president to take a rest.
So Rick Archibald and General Mike were left there.
For them.
This is definitely a novel experience, after all, in normal times, there are always others waiting for them.
It is definitely the first time that they have no chairs to rest and have to stand aside and wait like this.
It's a pity that they don't like this kind of experience, what they have is just the anger that keeps accumulating and rising in their hearts.
Just when General Mike couldn't hold back the anger in his heart and wanted to explode, they saw that the motherlander had finally put down his damn book!
Azu put down the book, took off his glasses, and said with a smile: "The Prince, written by Machiavelli."
"I have to say that the unique political thoughts and insight into human nature in this book are very attractive."
"I was fascinated by Machiavelli's wisdom and insight into human nature.
With succinct and profound writing style, he describes the nature of power and the behavior of human beings in the process of pursuing power.
His unique point of view and in-depth thinking make this work a profound inspiration not only for political scholars, but also for ordinary readers. "
"What impresses me is that Machiavelli put forward in the book the point of view that 'as long as the purpose is right, the means can be used'."
"Seeing this, I can understand why Mr. President was able to put the blame on poor Ms. Mallory so simply last night."
"This view is not only a criticism of the political reality at that time, but also a profound understanding of human nature."
"This perspective made me think a lot, and I began to realize that in the process of pursuing goals and achieving ideals, we may need to face some less than perfect means."
"E.g."
"Rick Archibald unfortunately suffered a sudden illness during his visit to the Tower of Seven and passed away?"
In the office, the atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense.
General Mike's hand has fallen to the holster, and he will draw his pistol at any moment.
Azu glanced at the general lightly, and laughed: "Relax, relax."
"Just kidding."
"If I wanted to make Mr. President sick, he wouldn't be able to leave his doorstep today."
Rick Archibald also made a gesture to let General Mike let go of his hand, and then smiled and said, "Motherland, what do you want?"
Azu pretended to be surprised: "Mr. President, I should ask you this."
"The one who wants to murder me is you."
"Why do you sound like a victim?"
"It's like a big guy molested a woman and then innocently said that the woman seduced him. Does that seem a bit shameless?"
General Mike panted like an angry bull: "Motherland, what is in front of you now is the president of the Federation, the supreme leader of this country, and the spokesperson of free will."
"You should respect him!"
"Instead of humiliating him!"
Azu laughed: "Could it be that what I said is not true."
"Come on, General."
"There is no one else here, so there is no need to hang out things like fig leafs."
Victoria Newman chuckled lightly, and then said: "Sorry, the joke in the newspaper is too funny, I really didn't mean to laugh at you."
General Mike's face turned blue and red. If Newman believed what he said, he would really be damned.
On the contrary, Rick Archibald was very calm, and he could even laugh.
"Forgive me for not being able to guess your mind."
"If you want me to apologize, I did in front of a national audience last night."
Azu leaned back: "Yes, people on the Internet also praised Mr. President that you can correct your mistakes, and called on other people to give you a chance to correct yourself."
"Look, your reputation has risen instead of falling, and your approval rating has risen by 3 percentage points. Your apology is too sincere."
"but."
Azu clenched his fist with one hand and propped it on his chin, which made him point his nostrils at the president and the general.
"I do not accept."
"What you did to me cannot be resolved with an apology."
Rick Archibald spread his hands and said, "Then what do you want?"
Azu laughed: "I think, as the leader of the federation, he was actually deceived by a mere woman, and extended his black hands to the hero who protected the federation and saved this planet."
"Such a leader already lacks a clear understanding. It is hard to guarantee that he will make wrong judgments on some issues in the future, thus pulling the Federation into the abyss of eternal doom."
"To prevent such a thing from happening, Mr. President, don't you think we should retreat bravely and let better people take on this heavy responsibility?"
"In the old East there was a word for such an event."
"Abdicate. Let Xian."
General Mike yelled: "Motherland, don't be too presumptuous!"
"Mr. President has already apologized in front of the whole country, and he has given you enough face, so don't push yourself further."
Azu laughed dryly: "General, there is no one else here."
"Actually, you don't need to act."
"If you really dare to do it, you will shoot me with a gun as soon as you enter the door."
"You don't need to show your loyalty to Mr. President in this way."
"If you want to show off, you might as well start begging for mercy from me now."
"In this way, maybe when I am happy, I will reward you with some meat and bones."
General Mike's face turned liver-colored, and he put his hand on the holster again, but as Azu said, he just put it there, but he didn't dare to really draw the gun and shoot.
Rick Archibald glanced at the general, then calmly took the general's hand on the gun and said, "What if I disagree?"
"You killed me here?"
"In that case, even if you take the position of president."
"Do you think the people below will obey your command?"
"Also, do you have what it takes to be a president?"
"Believe me, the nation doesn't want you to be president."
"Superheroes are one thing, presidents are another."
"With all due respect, people of the motherland, you are not fit to be president."
Azu leaned forward slightly, and said with a smile: "That's right, if I kill you, even if I sit on the president, this chair will not be stable."
"But do you really think that you can continue to be the president?"
"After you engineered these things, even if you apologize publicly, it doesn't undo the things you did."
"It's impossible to act like nothing happened."
"You became president because of the support of the people. If this incident is broadcast repeatedly, when public opinion starts to question whether you still have normal judgment, do you think the people will support you?"
"in addition."
"I'm really not fit to be president."
"I can't even manage a company."
"But I have a talent."
"I know how to let professional people do professional things."
"I think Miss Victoria Newman is ready, and I believe she can be a good president."
The office fell silent.
Rick Archibald looked at the woman in the rest area in disbelief, and Victoria Newman also looked at Azu in shock.
Azu said last night that he would give her a surprise, but she didn't expect that the surprise would be to make herself the president.
For her aspiring to enter politics, the president is something she can't even think about.
But now, it's about to become a reality.
Mr. President quickly recovered.
He chuckled and said, "Let's not talk about whether Ms. Newman is qualified for the position of president."
"I don't think the national approval rating alone will drop because of this incident."
"In fact I can accuse it of slander, of slander!"
"Unless you kill me, I will always find a way."
Just then, there was a sound outside the office.
"Mr. President, let's get down to business."
"So what did the soldier boy say?"
"He hopes to talk to you face to face, like us."
Hearing these voices, the president and the general turned their heads immediately.
The door of the office opened, and Mallory and Frankie walked in.
Mallory was holding her cell phone, which was playing the conversation she had with the president that day when they met at the White House.
"no!"
"It's too dangerous!"
"Soldier Boy can easily destroy a building, and if you put him face to face with Mr. President, it is as dangerous as facing the people of the motherland."
"I said the same thing, but the soldier boy insisted that it was a condition for him to agree to the deal."
"Okay, I'll have someone arrange a place and time to meet the soldier boy."
"If there is a decision, someone will notify you."
"Mr. President, this is too dangerous. No one knows what the soldier boy will do."
"Yes, Mr. President, what if you are in danger."
"War requires risk."
"There is no sure-fire war in this world."
"Now we are engaged in a secret war with the people of the motherland. If I am not even willing to take this risk, how can we defeat the people of the motherland."
"Right now, we can only pin our hopes on the soldier boys."
"So be it."
The conversation ends here.
Mallory smiled and said, "Good morning, Mr. President."
Rick Archibald's face was ashen.
"How will you be here?"
Mallory looked at Azu: "Last night, Mr. President crossed the river and demolished the bridge, and asked the FBI and the police to arrest us."
"After we escaped, we felt the need to seek help."
"Adhering to the principle of 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend', I think in the whole of New York now, only the people of the motherland are willing to protect us."
"So I contacted the motherlander overnight and got his promise."
Azu nodded.
"Victoria Newman will be President and Mrs. Mallory will be the new Chief of Security."
Mallory shook the phone: "Here is the video of our meeting. If this is released, I believe the people will have a correct judgment."
"Mr. President, what do you think?"
General Mike whispered: "Didn't you interfere with all the communication equipment at that time?"
"Yes."
Mallory laughed and said, "But I have to leave a way out for myself. I have been in my line of work for a long time, and I know that nothing in this world is eternal."
"There are no permanent friends."
"If I didn't know this, I probably wouldn't be alive today."
Rick Archibald looked at Mallory and Azu, and heaved a long sigh.
"I see."
"After I go back, I will take the blame and resign."
"I will recommend Victoria Newman to Congress as the new president, but whether Congress agrees with it is not up to me to decide."
"And even if it is passed by Congress, Newman still needs to participate in the election. Of course, for you, it is not a big problem to get an absolute advantage in the election."
"So it's all about Congress."
"I lost."
"You won."
Victoria Newman was so happy that she was about to faint. She never dreamed that what she expected, dreamed, and did not dare to expect, became reality at this moment.
She believed that Azu would naturally have a way to 'convince' the Congress. As for running for the election, it was just a formality. With the full support of Water Company, it would be difficult for her to lose!
Mallory also had mixed feelings.
It turned out that the people of the motherland should be her number one enemy, but who would have imagined that she would cooperate with the enemy today.
But there was no other way, unless she wanted to go to jail, otherwise, she had no other choice.
And being in prison is still a good ending. Based on her understanding of the power organization, she is more likely to die in the cell for no reason. After all, Mr. President would not want a person who knows his stains to live in this world.
Azu stood up, called Ashley over, and said with a smile, "Let the chef prepare the lunch. I want to entertain Mr. President."
"Oh no, it's the former president!"
