"Your Excellency, Frank has been killed!"
Outside the conference hall used for news release in the presidential palace, the security officer in a solemn suit whispered in the ear of the president who was reading the manuscript.
The president slowly put down the manuscript in his hand. He glanced at his security officer and wiped his face. "This is really bad news, but are the hostages safe?"
The security officer nodded solemnly, "Frank refused to communicate with the news from the scene and tried to hurt the hostages. Our people were forced to shoot in frustration. The hostages are safe."
The president nodded with satisfaction, "that's good. It's my duty to protect the safety of federal citizens..." after that, he picked up the manuscript again, looked at it for a few eyes, nodded to the security officer and chief of staff, and stepped into the conference room.
At the moment he walked into the conference room, the flash almost turned this place into a silver world. The suddenly lit light, even the president who was used to seeing the media, was somewhat inappropriate.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and walked to the rostrum with drooping eyes, which made him feel better.
Twenty four hours have passed since the outbreak of the situation yesterday morning. No matter what others think, first the media will become crazy, and then the public opinion.
The matter has been spread. It is obviously not practical to cover the lid. It will make people feel that the president and his cabinet government are incompetent. They can only find a way to solve it. At least let the ordinary investors blocked at the door of the bank or the exchange calm down first.
A few seconds later, the flashing frequency of the flash decreased, but all the reporters raised their arms high. The voice of his chief of staff came from the headphones worn by the president, "the fourth lady in the second row wearing a blue scarf..."
The president looked up. There was a lady wearing a blue scarf in the second row. He casually pointed, "the lady wearing a blue scarf..."
When the female reporter stood up, the others immediately took back their hands held high, grabbed the pen and prepared to write something at any time.
The female reporter named by the president asked, "Mr. President, since yesterday, people found that the war bonds issued abroad could not be cashed. What can we do and what can you do?"
Some reporters frowned. This question is not sharp enough. It is so common that it can be said that it is of little value, because even if these questions are not asked, the president or his press officer will say them in the end, which is tantamount to wasting an opportunity to ask questions.
But since I asked, let's keep a record.
The president showed his calmness and composure and almost opened his mouth. "We have urgently contacted the bond issuing countries, and the federal embassies abroad are also in urgent consultation with the local government."
"So far, we haven't come up with any effective solutions, but I can assure the people that we haven't wasted every minute. Our ambassador and the Ministry of foreign affairs haven't rested since yesterday."
"If there is any new progress, it will be publicized to the society at the first time!"
The regular answer has no bright spot. Some reporters give up recording halfway. This answer can be directly used in the manuscript.
Generally speaking, news conferences such as the president's speech will have a release, which is more official answers and core ideas. The mainstream media will respect the content of the release and carry out some processing without changing the core.
However, some less mainstream media dare to speak. They always make a serious press conference look like a conspiracy press conference. They also get more readers and subscriptions in this way.
Then some lucky journalists were named and asked questions. The questions asked by these journalists were too standard, which disappointed many journalists, because the Q & a session of the press conference became a solo play of the president.
This situation is becoming more and more common. When the president just took office, he would not arrange these reporters to hold a stable press conference. At that time, he was still very passionate, but look now.
Almost every press conference he personally attended was like this, full of official questions and official answers. There would be no accident in the whole press conference.
Don't the "official media" feel sick themselves?
In fact, nausea is not important. What matters is how to avoid some embarrassment when the current situation is uncertain.
Half an hour later, the press conference was over, the president left quickly, and his press officer took over his job.
Reporters still don't need to think about getting valuable answers from the press officer, because when the question becomes sharp, he will say that he is only a press officer and can only answer the prepared answers, which still makes people helpless and deeply feel helpless.
After coming out of the press conference room, the president took off some electronic devices that made him feel uncomfortable. These devices weigh several kilograms and hanging on him is not a good experience.
He returned to his office and recruited a chief of staff and a staff group. He needed some suggestions and Countermeasures to solve the current problem.
Some things can't be dragged down.
"Mr. President, we discussed for a day yesterday and finally came to a conclusion, but..." he looked at others and Mr. President, "but you may not like it very much."
The president frowned. "What's the answer?" he joked, without joking, "for example, let me submit my resignation to Congress?"
This is obviously not a funny joke. The chief of staff laughed twice. "We think what we should do now is to let things develop naturally and give some simple answers if necessary, which is more in line with our current situation and our position."
The president's eyebrows tightened. He also pulled out his ears. "Sorry, I don't quite understand what you're talking about. Can you say it in more detail?"
The chief of staff began to explain in more detail, "we don't do anything for the time being, because no matter what we do, it's difficult for us to change the attitude of those countries, and they can't give us cash, especially these victorious countries."
The war bonds that could not be cashed mainly came from the victorious countries. The defeated countries were willing to exchange these bonds and made an announcement in the name of the country. They postponed the exchange of those bonds issued before the war in the international community for one year, and increased by 15% on the basis of the original cashing ratio.
But everyone knows that when they can cash in, the money they give, the money, has long been worthless.
The president nodded, which he knew, "then your way is to do nothing?", he leaned back and couldn't see any changes in his attitude and expression, "so how can I explain to the citizens?"
The chief of staff promptly corrected some small mistakes in his words, "it's not you who explain to the people, but how those countries that refuse to honor explain to the ordinary people in the international community!"
"In fact, the staff agreed that this is actually a good thing, because we inadvertently solved some key problems and transferred the contradiction from the different positions between the two governments to a national government and the ordinary people of the whole international community."
"Before that, the failure of these victorious countries to cash their bonds could be said to be a national act. Their target is also the Bailey Federation of the state as an individual, but now their opponent has become an ordinary people. It's shameless for them to do so."
"We can unite some countries with the same problems as ours, even the defeated countries, to build momentum in international public opinion. Privately, if we can pry one or two small countries to cash part of their bonds, it will break the trust between the victorious allies."
"More importantly, we can unite a part of the international community under the pretext of 'safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of the people'. Facts have proved that complete isolation is not desirable!"
The president listened and thought carefully. He had to say that these things said by the chief of staff did have merit. As the biggest supporter of the isolation policy, the president had realized the disadvantages of the isolation policy at this time.
When the Baylor Federation is in trouble, no one will stand up and give him some help. Because of isolation in the international community, he has no status at all. This is also the reason why the victorious country can take care of the Baylor Federation at will.
His ideas spread far and wide, and fingers unconsciously knocked on the table. "Neutral League?"
The chief of staff nodded slightly. This is the idea behind him. Since isolationism can be determined to be unworkable, we should change the current position of Baylor Federation in the international community in another relatively moderate way.
Considering that the president is in power through this policy, they unite some neutral countries without changing their neutral position, which will not make the people feel the failure of isolationism, but also use the people's power to solve some problems. It can be said to be a perfect solution.
"What about those people who are making trouble outside? How to solve it?" the president quickly finalized the decision and asked a very sharp question.
If the chief of staff pointed out, "there must be some people who should bear responsibility for this matter..."
Scapegoat, back pot man, this method has been used for many years. It is so simple that almost everyone knows this situation, but people just eat this set.
The president nodded. "If there is no other way, let's do it. I hope we can see the results as soon as possible."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
