America 1982

The largest Lincoln Roundtable room at Lincoln High School.

This is definitely the most noble-looking room in Lincoln High School, because the purpose of its construction in 1976 was to follow the trend of private high schools and allow our high school students to understand the world from a more intuitive perspective.

The International Strategy Simulation Club is a school organization that attempts to allow students to simulate being representatives of various countries, expounding their respective suggestions and exchanging opinions on an international matter, and exercising their own abilities.

However, the public high school did not understand one problem, that is, the high school students in the school were completely uninterested in activities that simulated these issues. Most of them dropped out of school without even getting their diplomas. How could they care about the reasons for the outbreak of the Vietnam War and when the Soviet Union would Start World War III?

Many public high school students don't talk about simulation, and even ask them to find the country they simulate on the globe. If the font size is not large enough, they can't find it.

Think about it, you are sitting in this room with a confused face, and the instructor throws a document to you, which says that you will simulate the German Prime Minister and face a group of classmates who simulate the leaders of the United States, the Soviet Union, and other countries. Is it more fun to explain your opinion on the Cold War situation in the world, or to go for a drive with the girl you love?

Even if they had to choose ten times, they would make the right choice, girl.

Even going to the gymnasium to participate in sports activities and watching the pretty girls from the school's cheerleading team rehearsing in cool uniforms not far away made them feel happier than sitting in the conference hall.

In 1979, a certain high school student at Lincoln High School used spray paint to leave a sentence on the door of the conference hall that is so classic that it can be written into the history of philosophy: "Simulation cannot make us fall in love with politics, but sex can!"

Although the school was quickly cleared, it did not prevent future students of Lincoln High School from remembering this sentence and expressing their attitude towards political games.

Now this long-vacant conference room is open again, and an important meeting of the CSLS committee is being held.

In front of the huge round conference table that accommodated twenty people, Tommy Hawke stood at the head of the table, with his fingertips on the table and his eyes looking around at the people who had found their seats at this moment:

"If you have any questions about this summer camp, you can ask."

Several people looked at each other, and David, the fat man wearing glasses, was the first to speak: "David Shafer, Georgia, uh... I have a question. The committee of this kind of organization is usually composed of the school and the sponsor. We are just students, why would we become a committee member? Of course, I am honored, but I am even more curious."

"Because my committee seems to be empty right now. There are only four people including the instructor, Miss Farrell, who makes you guys look at me. I need other people to help maintain the normal operation of this summer camp. After all, apart from you, there are fifty-three students in the first batch." Tommy Hawke said frankly.

"It's really nothing new. It's just like I guessed. Arrange a senior-looking title and then let me do unpaid labor. I often used this trick with black classmates in Georgia." David Shafer shrugged, not at all surprised. said.

Frank Grillo looked at Tommy Hawke and shrugged: "I'm very happy to help others, and my mother often says that I want to help others, but I have to call my mother first and tell her that she doesn't like me doing something she doesn't know. Emotional activities.”

"Hahahahaha~" Kevin Nipfen laughed loudly, his voice full of sarcasm: "Frank Grillo, this sentence reminds me of your coach having to call home for you in the state league. I have to ask my mother for permission before I can take you to the post-match dinner."

"Shut up, Kane Nipfen, don't make me break your backbone." Frank shouted.

"Okay, come on!" Kevin opened his seat and was about to get up.

"Communicate like adults, everyone, otherwise I have the right to expel you from the summer camp. By the way, according to the contract, if you are expelled for personal reasons, you will not receive a refund." Tommy Hawk saw The two were about to argue again, so they lightly clasped the table with their knuckles and said coldly: "If you insist on giving up your spot and let me earn the money of two more high school students, I will be happy with it."

Seeing the two people sitting back and not speaking again, Tommy Hawke stared at the two people for a few seconds before speaking: "Continue with the question."

"My mother said to be a well-behaved and well-liked girl, and if I can help everyone, I would be happy to." Zoe Winters said with a smile.

Catherine Nunn looked at her brightly painted nails and said without raising her head: "I'm not interested in managing some difficult guys. I just want to talk to the head of state and get the resume I need, because I I want to study political science in college.”

"I just need the results of various sports competitions." Chris Ferguson took off his cowboy hat, revealing his long brown hair. He shook his head, as if saying to himself: "Although I don't know, I just want to major in mathematics. , why do you have to get a bunch of sports scores before you can apply to those prestigious schools? If you can get excellent scores as a committee member, I don't mind."

Seeing that Stephen Penn had no intention of speaking, but just looked at him and continued, Tommy Hawke said:

"You will get something if you work hard. Your competition results will be very good. Since you are here, you naturally know the quality of this summer camp. I also know your needs, which are nothing more than dazzling results on paper. So first of all, you will know this You will be given priority. Secondly, you will get a letter of recommendation jointly signed by the founder of the summer camp organizing committee and the principal of the founding school, which will praise your sense of responsibility and great contribution. Finally, you will have priority in the appointment of the summer camp's government affairs simulation. Yes, within one hour of arriving in that country, you can become the national police chief, foreign minister, education minister, sports minister or other positions of that country. Then you have the power to appoint fifty people who have not joined this committee. Three high school students will become your subordinates, and your extra reward will also include the country's real police chief, foreign minister, etc., that is, the real owner of the position you experienced, who will give you a recommendation at the end. Letter, this is a treatment that fifty-three high school students do not have." Tommy Hawke looked around at everyone in a calm tone:

"If you are sure that you are not interested, you can bring it up now, and I will replace a group of people to sit in your current positions and serve me, and then you will wait to be led by them."

"I'm joining. It's hard for poor people to resist the temptation." After hearing Tommy Hawke's words, David Shafer was the first to change his tune: "I hope to serve as the country's interior minister."

Several other people, including Stephen Bean, showed eagerness to try. Kevin Nipfen raised his hand: "It's interesting, Minister of Sports. I can teach people in that country what sports competition is."

"Does their country lack a queen? I can reluctantly accept their kneeling." Catherine thought for a while and said to Tommy Hawke.

Tommy Hawke looked at Catherine, shrugged and said, "No, unfortunately, they regard the Queen of England as their leader."

"Then can I serve as Minister of Defense or Commander of the Armed Forces? I want to lead my troops to overthrow her and the British rule, and replace me, Queen Catherine, with the coronation and the throne." Catherine thought for a while and gave her own idea.

Tommy Hawke nodded: "The position of Minister of Defense and Commander of the Armed Forces is yours, Your Majesty, but I personally don't think you can lead two hundred reserve militiamen across the Atlantic to England within the seven days of the summer camp experience. Mishima, kill Britain and its Queen, although if you can do it, all the citizens of that country will probably be grateful."

"I can do anything." Zoe smiled sweetly at Tommy: "Whatever you need me to do, I'll do it."

"I think their country must need a foreign minister as beautiful, elegant and willing to consider others like you." Tommy Hawke also laughed and said to Zoe.

Seeing that Frank Grillo was still in a daze, Tommy asked: "Frank, what about you?"

"Uh...I'm thinking about it," Frank responded.

Although this guy looks fierce, when communicating, you can feel that his temper is actually very docile, as long as Kevin doesn't provoke him.

Turning his gaze from Frank to the cowboy, Tommy asked: "Great, Chris, do you have a position you would like to have?"

"Positions related to numbers and probability." Chris took out a cigarette: "Can I have one? I'm over 18 years old."

"Okay, but it's best not to do it in front of girls. We can go out and do it later. How about the Minister of Finance, the Minister of International Trade, or the Minister of Taxation?"

Chris put away his cigarette: "Minister of Taxation."

"Shit! I should have been elected Minister of Taxation, but I was attracted by the title of Interior Secretary. Can we talk about how to avoid taxation? Chris? I have been studying this issue since I was thirteen." David - Shafer regretted that he had not thought of this position, and then looked at Chris Ferguson and asked.

"Mr. Stephen, do you want to say something?"

Stephen Penn put his left fist on his lips and hesitated for a few seconds before speaking: "Can I ask how you selected us people?"

"Because the information of the seven of you was sorted and put at the top, I didn't choose." Tommy Hawke said.

Stephen Penn shrugged: "What a frank answer, then the Chancellor of Finance and Secretary of International Trade? After all, I think everyone here may not know as much about money as me and have as much money as I do. By the way, I am planning to study at Stanford University." After studying humanities, I will go to business school as a graduate student, which can just add some subject experience.”

"You've already been fucking admitted early, why are you here at a summer camp that's obviously just for coaxing college recruiters?" David Schaeffer said with shock on his face: "Fucking Stanford!"

"It's a bit boring to wait. Find a summer camp to kill the time." Stephen said with a bright smile.

Kevin asked: "Waiting to report to college?"

"When my grandfather dies, I will inherit his inheritance." Stephen said.

Tommy Hawke flipped through Stephen Bean's resume in front of him: "Man, it says that you were admitted to Stanford University in advance by virtue of your ability, and you are from Harvard-Westlake High School in Los Angeles. What ability did you rely on? Arrived? Won an international award in sports or art?"

Others also looked at Stephen Penn curiously.

Stephen enjoyed the feeling of being watched by everyone. After feeling it for a few seconds, he said: "Because my father was the director of Stanford University, the Bean family will donate to Stanford University every year."

"What the hell is this called personal ability?" David Schaeffer almost wrote the words envy, jealousy and hate directly on his face.

Stephen leaned back and opened his hands towards the poor guys: "This ability is called luck, man. Luck can make people have a good pregnancy."

"Although I deserve a beating, what I said really makes sense." David Shafer said depressedly.

Tommy Hawke said: "I want to remind everyone that you will leave for St. Vincent one day earlier than other students to serve as national dignitaries. Get familiar with the work you are responsible for as soon as possible, and when you perform your duties, real officials of St. Vincent will serve as inspectors. I will guide and observe your work ability. Each person needs to manage eight students, take good care of and arrange their work arrangements. Although this summer camp has purchased short-term accident insurance for you, we still don’t want to see any accidents happen. "

"What if there is a problem?" Zoe asked: "Some problems, I mean there may always be unexpected things."

"If you can't figure it out yourself, you can report it to St. Vincent's Prime Minister for the next seven days, Tommy Hawke."

"Frank, it's time for you to make a decision, should you join or let me change someone else..." After finishing speaking, Tommy looked at Frank.

"Wait for me." Frank stood up: "Where is the phone?"

Several boys except Kevin Nipfen stood under the paulownia tree while smoking and looking at Frank who was talking on the phone in the phone booth in the distance, while the two girls, led by Ottilia, visited the campus.

The first batch of students will officially arrive at Lincoln High School tomorrow, and then assemble and set off for St. Vincent. A professor at Princeton University named Gavin Ladd has made clear arrangements. He will not participate in the first half of the activities at St. Vincent. Instead, he attended the summer summit at Lincoln High School in the second half. As for the other unknown professor, he still has not given a definite reply. The only reply is that if he attends, he will not receive any compensation.

However, Tommy was not interested in guessing the other party's reaction. The school's account now actually contained the money paid by more than two hundred high school students to the summer camp. Whether Princeton was hot-headed or helpful, the money was real.

"I can't believe that he has to ask his mother for instructions on summer camp activities, and my damn dad started borrowing money from me to buy alcohol when I was thirteen years old." David Shafer spit out his cigarette butt and said.

In the distance, Frank's voice on the phone was faintly heard:

"Mom, I was selected to serve on the CSLS Board of Commissioners, and as Commander of the Special Forces and Warden and Commander of the Coast Guard and Internal Affairs Forces in St. Vincent."

"It's not a church organization, it's the arrangement of the summer camp. I'm responsible for ensuring the safety of the summer camp and providing them with all-round protection."

"It's not that they all protect me. I take my men to protect them. Yes, I also believe that I am capable. I know, mom, I love you."

"My mom said she agreed."

Seeing Frank hang up the phone, Tommy Hawke said to several people: "I think the first person to come up with a nickname from the CSLS committee has appeared, BigBaby Frank."

Sorry, I published two chapters into one. It is more than 4,000 words. There is no second update. I originally wanted to write it, but something happened temporarily. After my father-in-law and mother-in-law passed away, I just received the news that my parents It’s too late, and there is a shortage of medicine. I have to find a way to prepare some medicine for them first. Sorry, everyone. I also wish everyone good health and take preventive measures.
