Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon
Chapter 919: Reagan's Inauguration and Article 1 Executive Order
On January 20, the inauguration of the new US President Ronald Reagan will be held on this day.
Earlier, according to major media reports, more than 800,000 Americans will come to Washington to attend the inauguration of the new president.
Of course, these people can only stand outside the Capitol.
The only ones who can go to the innermost are specially invited special guests.
Early in the morning, Ronald Reagan and George Walker Bush and their families came to the St. John's Anglican Cathedral near the White House to pray.
After praying, the group returned to the White House. Ronald Reagan and current President Jimmy Carter met at the White House for a cup of coffee, and then the two took their wives to the Capitol by car.
And Xia Yu also came to the special guest seat with a special invitation letter at a specific time.
Around him were ambassadors from various countries in the United States, various congressional leaders attending the ceremony, and important supporters.
The appearance of a yellow-skinned young man like Xia Yu here made people around him frequently look at him. Xia Yu also saw the Huaxia ambassador to the United States smiling and nodding at him, but Xia Yu's keen discovery, the surprise in the eyes of the Huaxia ambassador to the United States. color.
Xia Yu is very clear that after the inauguration, it is estimated that he will report to the top immediately to reposition Xia Yu's influence and relationship with the incoming new president Ronald Reagan.
You know, on this occasion, in addition to the ambassadors of Asian countries to the United States, there is only one person with yellow skin, Xia Yu, who is definitely a scorpion lapapa—the only one!
It is believed that in addition to the Chinese ambassador to the United States, ambassadors from other countries will also collect information on Xia Yu, and everyone who may have a relationship with the US president is their close attention.
Xia Yu could guess this, but he was happy with it.
He just doesn't like to be high-profile in front of ordinary people, but it is absolutely beneficial and harmless to have a number at the highest level of the country.
And the more the mainland pays attention to him, the better he can get along in the future!
time flies.
The inauguration ceremony officially began.
The U.S. Marine Corps band played the opening song at the ceremony, while inauguration emcee Colby Foster stood in front of the microphone, first introducing the successive presidents, then Ronald Reagan and George Walker Bush. family members, and Congressional leaders at various ceremonies.
Then there was George Walker Bush, and finally Ronald Reagan, the inauguration's most important figure.
The entire inauguration took half an hour.
The time finally came to 12 noon, and more than 800,000 people outside the Capitol kept quiet in unison.
Because they know that the most critical time has come!
In the limelight, George Walker Bush took his family to the center of the rostrum and was sworn in as the 40th Vice President of the United States. The oath ceremony was presided over by Justice Thurgood Marshall of the United States Supreme Court.
The first African-American Supreme Court justice in the United States was appointed by President Lyndon Johnson on March 2.
So far, this is the fourth time he has served as the host of the U.S. presidential swearing-in.
After George Walker Bush's solemn oath, Ronald Reagan took his family to the much-anticipated microphone center stage, his wife Nancy Davis Reagan wearing gloves and holding her hands With a Bible his mother gave him when he was a child,
Ronald Reagan put his left hand on the Bible and his right hand high, solemnly swearing.
"I swear, I pray for the blessing of 'God'..."
Seeing this scene, especially the "Bible" held by Ronald Reagan's left hand, Xia Yu had a faint smile on his face, which made him feel a little interesting.
This is the United States proclaiming freedom and democracy, and the tradition of American presidents taking the oath on the Bible is a tradition that began with the first president, George Washington.
Of course, this tradition is not a mandatory requirement of the U.S. Constitution, but only because Washington, the founding father of the United States, was a Christian in a devout city. He believed that the independence of the United States was the grace of "God", and at the presidential inauguration, he kissed the "Bible" , hand press the Bible to swear.
Since then, every president has followed suit in order to show respect for Washington and to keep himself in office.
Not only that, every U.S. president since then has been a Christian, and when running for the presidency, the presidential candidates will emphasize their Christian faith, otherwise it is almost impossible to win the election.
As for these things, Xia Yu can only express interest, and he does not mean to offend or despise. After all, every place has its cultural traditions.
For example, in the Indian military parade, the motorcycle stacked Arhat is very distinctive in Xia Yu's opinion. It is very impressive after seeing it once, and you can't forget the [dog head] if you want to forget it.
After the inaugural speech, the content of major media attention came.
Ronald Reagan announced the names of the members of the new cabinet and the White House.
The cabinet team includes Vice President George Walker Bush.
SECRETARY OF STATE: Alexander Meigs Hague, the former U.S. European Commander.
Secretary of Defense: Casper Willard Weinberg.
Attorney General: William French Smith.
Secretary of the Treasury: Donald Reagan.
Secretary of the Interior: James G. Watt.
Secretary of Commerce: Melcome Baldridge.
Secretary of Labor: Raymond J. Donovan.
Secretary of Energy: James B. Edwards.
...
The cabinet is basically decided after the struggle between Republicans and Democrats, and most of them are Republican members.
In the White House team, the personnel were all appointed by Ronald Reagan.
Jim Baker, unsurprisingly, became the White House chief of staff.
The remaining more important distinctions are: White House press secretary James Brady.
Director of the White House Council of Economic Advisers: John Rutridge.
Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs: Richard Allen.
White House Office of Management and Budget Director: David Stockman.
White House Senior Advisor to the President: Rhodes Saxon.
...
There are twenty-three senior White House members in total, and all twenty-three have a prefix—assistant to the president.
Although Rhodes Saxon relied on Xia Yu's guidance to perform well this month, he won the favor of Ronald Reagan, and he still has Xia Yu's support.
But the time is still too short, and there is still no competition for John Rutridge and the position of director of the White House Economic Council.
Still, he was among the top White House officials, earning the post of senior adviser to the president.
Not only that, it seems to be to give Rhodes Saxon a fairer platform, but also to give Xia Yu an explanation. Rhodes Saxon, a senior economic advisor, also has his own team, not a person with John Larter. Ritchie chairs the White House Council of Economic Advisers.
In Xia Yu's view, the only difference is that the White House can only have one brand of the Council of Economic Advisers. If it can have two, it is estimated that Ronald Reagan will give each of them one.
But this is obviously impossible, unless Ronald Reagan wants to be ridiculed by the major media.
Xia Yu also noticed a special person, that is, Ronald Reagan's former big butler William J. Casey, who was not only a member of the White House, but also served as the director of the CIA.
Not only that, but he was also allowed to sit in the cabinet and was clearly a confidant of Ronald Reagan!
After Ronald Reagan's inauguration ceremony, a luncheon was officially held inside the Capitol. All the guests who could enter were specially invited guests. Of course, the American people outside went home.
However, because Ronald Reagan will hold an inaugural parade after the luncheon, the luncheon will not be long. Xia Yu simply ate a little and was approached to communicate. Many people were interested in him. Get familiar with it first.
Xia Yu would not go to the inaugural parade in the afternoon. After the luncheon, he returned to the mansion he purchased in Washington.
Just as Ronald Reagan began his inaugural parade, the new U.S. government appointed by Ronald Reagan was officially in operation.
The first executive order, signed by Ronald Reagan, went into effect, Executive Order 12287, announcing the deregulation of oil prices and distribution.
The most obvious purpose of this executive order is to target the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries. Obviously, for today's oil market, the U.S. government, the oil consortium and Wall Street capitalists behind it want more control, to further forge U.S. oil hegemony, and at the same time solve U.S. oil market problems. inflation problem.
Before, the U.S. government was in the need of controlling inflation and ensuring energy security. It implemented strict and complicated oil price control measures. The price control weakened U.S. oil rights, increased the vulnerability of U.S. oil security, and restricted the U.S. Room for manoeuvre in foreign policy.
According to the provisions of the executive order, this executive order will be officially implemented on January 28, when the US oil price will truly be in line with the world oil price, then the US oil price will be completely dominated by the market.
But it is hard to say who is in charge. After all, many oil countries have been defeated by the United States, and the oil of many countries has been pegged to the US dollar!
Although it will take eight days for this decree to be implemented, Song Yang, Xue He and others in front of the TV of Galaxy Fund Company are already excited.
They were curious about the result of a day, it turned out to be this, which can definitely stimulate a surge in US oil prices.
Sure enough, when they looked at oil futures prices, they had already begun to soar, and the upward momentum was several times higher than before.
The line of $34/barrel was easily pierced, and it quickly climbed to $35/barrel.
In a short period of time, the oil futures of Galaxy Fund increased by 100 million US dollars.
When Song Yang, Xue He and others were closely watching oil futures prices.
Another piece of news broadcast by the CNN news channel that stimulated the American people and made the American people cheer for Ronald Reagan, that is, Iran announced the release of the previously held American hostages.
Xia Yu knew that this was an agreement between the Republican Party and the Iranian high-level officials to further enhance Ronald Reagan's prestige.
As the sun goes down, the people of Washington can only turn their celebrations from outside to inside.
Xia Yu, in a suit and leather shoes, took the invitation letter and drove to the Washington Convention Center.
PS: This chapter is too difficult to write. After all, it is a pity that I was not able to attend Reagan's inauguration o(╯□╰)o
It's the end of the month, ask for a ticket! Don't waste it!
