Just as Nathan was happily on a honeymoon with Jenny, Emily and others in Hollywood filming, in the White House, President Carter was already in utter horror.
"No, their march is not allowed. This is against our constitution. At this time, how can they speculate about their president so maliciously?" President Carter's face was angry.
"But, Mr. President, if we really want to mobilize the military and police to suppress it, I'm afraid it will lead to terrible conflicts. Moreover, our army has very big opinions now."
Yes, the army also has opinions. Originally, the army served the country and obeyed the president’s orders alone. Who could have imagined that this nasty Nathan set a bad precedent. He actually bypassed the president and did him. Want to do.
This is terrible.
This is absolutely against the US Constitution.
"Let's discuss how to deal with the problems of Nathan and others." Secretary of Defense Klett said: "How on earth should we solve it?"
At the beginning, the president had rendered them heroes, heroes in the army, but now, the outside world knows that this is not the case at all. They did it without the president’s authorization, even if they were stealing military aircraft. , Is enough for Nathan to sit in for a few years.
what should I do now
On the outside, there are passionate sentiments that oppose the president, and on the inside, the handling of Nathan is also very tricky.
If left alone, Nathan will be even more lawless, and if he is arrested, it will be the president's incompetence, and Nathan will gain more prestige.
Each of these things caused everyone a headache. How to deal with Nathan's problem was raised by Klett. Now, he is waiting for the president's order.
"Peace president, incompetent president!" At this moment, there were waves of voices outside.
Who would have thought that the parade of these guys would have gotten up so quickly and returned to the outside of the White House!
Can't help it, Carter opened the window, walked across the grass, through the street lights, and was on the opposite road. The parade crowd was gathering.
"The rescue of the hostages cannot be done by the President, but by our Vietnam War veterans!"
"Release our host Ted, he is planted!"
"We, the United States, cannot have such a president, impeach Carter!"
Voices, that was one after another, and President Carter closed the window angrily.
"Damn it, obviously the matter has been resolved, but our situation is even worse."
President Carter is uncomfortable.
Secretary of State Warren is also frowning: "Mr. President, if you want to solve this now, there is only one way."
If this matter is not handled properly, it will cause serious political stains. How can we get rid of this predicament? Warren has a way.
"Say." President Carter said.
"Create a new focus and divert their attention." Warren said: "The people's anger must have a catharsis. Now, we can only be able to vent their attention when new serious incidents occur. Let the people forget about it."
In the entertainment circle, this method is very popular, as long as you concoct the hot spots and let the audience remember you, if there is no hot spot, it will be forgotten before long.
Even if it's sloppy, cursing is okay, but it's not good. Performing an eel into the body will be remembered by the whole country.
However, there will soon be a new focus, which will be replaced.
Now, this is Warren's approach.
Carter frowned and said, "Go on."
Warren said: "Now, we can only find a breakthrough from Hokkaido. Now that the Soviets have occupied a part of Hokkaido, they have ruled. In the process, will there be conflicts with the aborigines? Cultural Differences, hatred of the invaders, there will be friction."
Watching the president not speak, Warren continued: “As long as we provoke and expand the conflict, then everyone’s attention will be placed on Hokkaido and we will forget about it. Then, we will act again. Be tougher, and you will also take off the hat of President of Peace and President of Incompetence."
Speaking of provoking conflict, is there anything more appropriate than causing trouble in Hokkaido
Recently, the hostage incident in the bs country has attracted everyone's attention, so that everyone did not take Hokkaido into consideration and seemed to have forgotten the battlefield there.
However, there is also the point of conflict and conflict, which is the most prone to crisis. Now, if a conflict is created there, it will make the whole people united again and put their antipathy towards the Soviet Union.
At that time, President Carter must be tough. He can no longer be weak. If he continues to be weak, he will completely lose popular support. If he can show toughness, then this crisis will naturally be resolved!
When that time comes, who will talk about the current thing again
It can be said that this idea of Warren is the only option. The question is, does the president agree
Because President Carter in front of him is a peace-loving ambassador. If the conflict is provoked this time, there may be another war. The lovely president, will he make up his mind
President Carter’s love for peace was spared no effort. In addition to these things, there is one more thing that was reflected in March of this year when President Carter successfully facilitated peace negotiations between Israel and Egypt.
At that time, Israel did not intend to make concessions. As a result, President Carter was pressed for it step by step, even throwing out various threats. In short, it promoted the signing of the peace agreement between the two sides.
This is a huge progress. The Arab world and Israel have been in constant disputes. For the first time, I saw the dawn of peace. Even after the signing, Egypt was spurned by the entire Arab world, but after all, Egypt has taken a difficult step. Peace is achieved through negotiation, not war.
Israel also has to pay a lot. The Sinai Peninsula that they have taken from the war must be returned to Egypt. This huge territory is also very painful for Israel.
This is also Carter's philosophy of peace. There is nothing that can't be solved by sitting down and negotiating. Why should everyone fight and kill? Now, is he willing to ask him to take the initiative to provoke conflict
If he was willing, he would not have lost the land in exchange for peace.
Sure enough, President Carter did not speak, as if he was a passerby, after hearing Warren's plan, he couldn't comment.
Outside, the voices of protest were wave after wave.
For a long time, President Carter sat in a chair, staring blankly at the ceiling.
"Mr. President, are you going to give up running for the next president? If you don't provoke conflict now, your approval rate will definitely drop to 10%. You can only continue to promote it if you have the support of the people now. Your concept of world peace."
Finally, someone spoke up. I don’t know how many people would joke when such words spread out, but now, they can actually persuade President Carter!
This moved him.
"Yes, but the scale of the conflict must be controlled well, and we should not create a major event that cannot be ended. At that time, we will not be enough to rely on protests and sanctions, and we cannot start war again."
