Chapter 1133 - The Security Treaty In Jeopardy (1/2)
“Oh, them…” The student looked at Jiang Chen with a weird expression. He only thought that the person in front of him looked familiar, but he couldn’t tell where he had seen him before. “They are probably just pulling for a political party for the upcoming election. There have been more and more of these activities recently.”
Jiang Chen nodded.
Almost four years had passed since he overthrew President Edward’s regime. In the past four years, the changes in Coro Island could be described as ground-breaking. There were almost no traces of the small fishing village.
Xin implemented a presidential system with four years between each election, and the election campaign was set to begin at the end of March next year.
If everything goes smoothly, Zhang Yaping was expected to continue his presidency, and Celestial Trade would continue to be the behind-the-scene ruler of the country. The parties would symbolically compete for the position of president, and then focus their efforts on the parliamentary seats.
As a revolution that saved the people, it was almost impossible for Zhang Yaping to lose the election with the backing of Celestial Trade unless Zhang Yaping decided to voluntarily withdraw from the election.
At this moment, Jiang Chen suddenly remembered something.
The UA election, which always attracted worldwide attention, seemed to be next year too.
After what happened in the latter half of this year, it was difficult for Hill to be re-elected. It was difficult for her to seek agreement in her own party, let alone gain the support of the people.
When he thought of this, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but smile.
God bless Xin, I hope they will choose a more foolish opponent for me next year.
…
Jiang Chen guessed right, it was indeed a difficult time for Hill.
The aircraft carrier battle group had never turned around because of the threat of any country. What’s more, it was only a small country with a navy of six frigates and thirty fighters.
Except for those who stood in the Pentagon’s combat command room that day, everyone blamed this incident on Hill’s weak diplomatic strategy. Even Hill’s public relations team released some inside information and said that the madam president was against a lunatic who was not afraid to launch a nuclear war, but obviously not many people bought the story.
Nuclear deterrence.
Deterrence.
How did you know that he was not bluffing? How are you sure that he dared to press the button?
Hillary really didn’t know, but she couldn’t bet the country’s future on whether the ten seconds after would be heaven or hell.
Although many people put themselves in her shoes and thought they couldn’t do any better, it didn’t stop them from attacking her.
This was politics.
On Saturday, Hill was in the president’s office, listening to the FBA director’s report.
At this moment, the office door was pushed open, and the FBA director immediately stopped and took two steps back.
When she saw the person standing at the door, Hill frowned.
“You forgot to knock on the door, Mr. Bolden.”
“I will apologize for my rudeness, but please wait until I have finished speaking…The second group of colonists from Celestial Trade has reached Mars. We have lost to them on the Moon and are now the gaps are growing wider and wider on Mars,” he walked in the door anxiously as he placed a document on Hill’s desk. He looked at her seriously and said, “NASA needs a bigger budget! If you still want us to build a space elevator before 2050.”
Hill rubbed the wrinkles at the corner of her eyes.
“You should discuss this with the Congress, not come to me.”
With a bitter smile, Bolden shook his head.
