Chapter 1463 (2/2)
After a long time, he raised his head and said.
”Lewis.”
Lewis, the president's chief of staff, was slightly stunned and replied.
“…… Mr. President? ”
”You go and inform the Secretary of state, the Secretary of defense, the Secretary of the Treasury And then there's the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of staff of the U.S. Army. ”After about 20 names, Mike Pence pauses for a moment and says slowly,” an emergency meeting will be held here in an hour. All members of the National Security Council must be present. Now, all of you go out for a while. ”
Hearing this, Lewis and John McCain and other senior White House officials' faces moved and looked at each other.
The expressions on all faces are different, just like their complicated mood at the moment. Lewis looked at the president in disbelief, while John McCain's face showed a glimmer of ecstasy, but was soon hidden behind a series of small moves.Members of the National Security Council of the United States were founded during the cold war, and the president was the chairman of the National Security Council. Regular participants include the vice president, the Secretary of state, the Secretary of defense, the Secretary of the Treasury, and the national security adviser. And the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of staff of the U.S. Army, who is the statutory military adviser of the National Security Council, and the director of the CIA, the legal intelligence adviser. In addition, there are also important officials such as the chief of staff of the White House, the Attorney General of the United States, and the Secretary of homeland security. Depending on the importance of the contents of the meeting, the president himself will decide whether to attend.
It is not difficult to see the importance of this level of meeting from the level of participants.
The last time such an emergency meeting was held 20 years ago, when the president was named Bush Jr. Shortly after the meeting, the United States led coalition forces went to Afghanistan and started the long drawn out war in Afghanistan
Taking a deep breath, Lewis nodded.
”I'm going.”
At the president's request, people in the conference room left.
When the meeting room was empty, Burns' shoulders relaxed slowly. Instead of preparing for the next meeting, burns took a pen out of his arms and looked at it for a long time.
Somehow, he suddenly sounded, about a month and a half ago, when the regime took over.
As vice president, he was also on the scene, vaguely remembering the situation.
There has never been a president who, when he has handed over power, has a look of relief. It was as if what she had handed over was not the supreme throne of the country, and what she had left her was not power or interests, but a heavy burden.
Now he suddenly understood.
Or some regret.
She was facing a madman, and now the madman is standing in front of him. While he was still hesitating whether to add a firewood to the stove, the madman had already guided Mars outside the stove
But it's no use regretting now, and it seems that he didn't have the right to choose from the beginning. When the president dies, there is a vice president, and after the vice president, the Senate President From the moment Wall Street was ”unified”, the balance of power in this country began to be unbalanced, and the capitalists were completely crazy.
Silence for a long time, he picked up the phone, slowly broadcast a number, called a familiar person. He now needs to consult other people, although he knows that the high probability is that he is doing useless work.
The phone is on.
There was no extra greeting. Pence sorted out his thoughts in his head and spoke slowly.
