Reborn American Giants

This is a white neoclassical sandstone building with an obvious English residential style. The overall look is solid, spacious and elegant. This is the center of the United States, the heart of politics, and the official residence of the President of the United States - the White House.

Francis Underwood, not too tall, with gray hair, sharp eyes, and a straight nose gives people the feeling that the man in front of him is a person with a strong will. He is the fourth in the United States.

Ten presidents, (because I can’t involve real political figures, I replaced the President of the United States, which is really a sense of accomplishment) The world’s comments about him are:

"This is a tough man."

And Underwood lived up to the world's evaluation of him. The moment he successfully ran for office in 1983, he reversed the previous president's moderation policy towards the Soviet Union and actively launched a confrontation with the "Soviet Union" around the world.

Internally, domestic inflation was solved, taxes were significantly reduced to stimulate economic recovery, and more jobs were created. The final result was that the federal government received more tax revenue.

In his first year in office, tax revenue rose sharply from US$517 billion in 1982 to US$643.2 billion. After the downturn of 1981-82, the US economy experienced a dramatic recovery in 1983, which made Andrew

The Wood government's public approval rating has always been high.

At this moment, Underwood is sitting in the President's Office in the West Wing of the White House, sitting on the sofa with his chief of staff Becker, Secretary of State Kerry, and McCarter, head of the Office of Latin American Policy Coordination.

This office was expanded to the West Wing after President Theodore Roosevelt took office in 1902, and then the famous "Oval Office" was built.

The room was unusually quiet. Underwood was lighting a cigarette. He frowned and took a puff, then put the cigarette out in the ashtray. Looking at his absent-minded look, it was obvious that something was bothering him.

to the leader of the "free world".

On the coffee table in front of the four people, there was a copy of the Los Angeles Times. Secretary of State Kerry picked up the newspaper in front of him. The headline headline made him feel particularly "dazzling". The government had just approved the approval of the Salvador Jose government.

"Loan request" and assisted the other party with an "interest-free loan" of 200 million US dollars. This matter was handled by him. Now suddenly the domestic media "exploded" the incident of a group of "private girls of powerful people" in El Salvador. This is in "

Slap him, the Secretary of State, in the face.

However, the leaders of the largest country in the "free world" are obviously helpless when it comes to the media that slaps the government in the face. This is determined by the "national conditions" of the United States. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution clearly states that "the people have freedom of expression."

"Speech" rights, plus the fact that the U.S. government is often "sprayed" by these media, we have become accustomed to it.

Of course, Kerry can fight back against the "Los Angeles Times" slap in the face, but for the "scandal" that broke out in a small Latin American country like El Salvador, he paid a lot of money to "fight back", which is obviously not worth the gain.

What this group of politicians pursue is "don't do things that don't bring benefits, and don't do things where the losses outweigh the benefits." Moreover, the "loan assistance" to El Salvador was obviously funded by President Underwood's approval, otherwise Kerry would have no right to sign it.

Such a "financial aid" agreement was in place, so when the sky fell and someone taller stood up, Kerry obviously sat aside with "the old god is here".

McCarter was urgently summoned to the "Office of the President". He graduated from "Yale" University and once served as the consul of the Embassy of El Salvador. He has "research" on Latin American countries. After leaving office, he participated in Underwood's campaign.

Office, after the successful presidential election, Underwood adjusted foreign policy, and he became the head of a newly created agency-the Office of Latin American Policy Coordination.

After the United States adjusted its foreign policy, it suddenly turned around and discovered that anti-American sentiment was serious throughout Latin America, and "left-wing forces" in various countries were flourishing with the support of Cuba.

This is because the previous presidents implemented a "trade policy" towards Latin America. This policy is manifested in the fact that Latin American countries produce various raw materials and primary processed products, and after the United States imports these raw materials at low prices, relying on its strong industrial capabilities,

Various industrial products are "sold back" to Latin American countries. U.S. companies have grabbed a lot of wealth in Latin American countries, while Latin American countries have become raw material bases and product dumping grounds for the United States. This has resulted in the basic industrial capabilities of each country.

Destroyed or have only a single primary processing capability.

The U.S. government is noncommittal in the face of requests for "economic assistance" from Latin American countries. The result is economic stagnation, political turmoil, military dictatorships, and the accumulation of domestic wealth and land in the hands of a "few people" in Latin American countries. This has increased the gap between the rich and the poor in Latin American countries.

Seriously, the people at the bottom are living in extreme poverty, and the authoritarian governments of various countries, with the support of the United States, brutally suppress the "left-wingers" in various countries, which has led to serious "anti-American sentiment" among the people of various countries. With the support of Cuba, it broke out

There was a serious civil war.

Now the United States is implementing the policy of "returning to Latin America" ​​and is preparing to settle in its own backyard. Jose Napoleon Duarte is the ruler supported by the United States in El Salvador. Jose was educated in the United States and graduated from Bend, Indiana.

Notre Dame University served as the mayor of San Salvador as a member of the Christian Democratic Party. He also participated in the 1972 presidential election in El Salvador on behalf of the opposition alliance, but was exiled by the ruling government after the failure.

In 1979, a civil war broke out in El Salvador. Jose returned to the country and became the foreign minister of the military government. Later, in 1980, he became the head of state and the head of the military government with the support of the US government.

And now, as "democratic reforms" are being carried out in El Salvador, which is the first bullet fired by the United States in its return to Latin America, this "scandal" has broken out. Now a crowd has gathered outside the "White House", holding signs to protest against the government.

Supported the "corrupt dictatorships" of Latin American countries, which put the policies implemented by the U.S. government in danger of "death". For a while, Underwood was also very dissatisfied, so after receiving the news, he summoned these people as soon as possible

Discuss countermeasures in the President's Office.

"Mr. President, our established strategy cannot be shaken. Jose is the most effective person in El Salvador in dealing with "left-wing forces." Moreover, he is promoting political reforms. We must support him and let Latin American countries see the consequences of U.S. policies.

Change, we can't give up on him." McCarter saw Underwood's dissatisfaction with Jose, but he still said a few good words for Jose, not only because they are "old friends", but also because the United States "returns to the

The first shot of the "Latin America" ​​policy must be launched, otherwise without the support of the United States, El Salvador is likely to become the second "Cuba."

Underwood nodded thoughtfully. He must succeed in making his voice heard on international affairs for the first time, otherwise the villains of the Democratic Party will criticize his foreign policy again, which will be very detrimental to his re-election. Moreover, there will be another election next year.

In the mid-term elections, the Republican Party cannot lose too many "seats" in Congress, otherwise it will be tied up in the future.

He turned to McCarter and said, "So what should we do now to make amends?"

McCarter smiled easily. He knew that his "old friend" had passed the test this time. After adjusting his sitting position, McCarter said his own method.

"Mr. President, there is a story. Once upon a time, there was a farmer who raised a horse. One day, his eldest son accidentally fell off while riding the horse and broke his leg. The farmer happily came to comfort him.

His people said that this might not be a good thing, and everyone shook their heads and left, thinking that the farmer had gone crazy. As a result, the war broke out, and the farmer's eldest son was exempted from conscription because his leg was broken and did not go to the battlefield...

…“.

McCarter paused, looked at the people who were waiting for him to say something, and said: "The same thing is happening in El Salvador now. No one knows that bad things can sometimes be good things, gentlemen, right?"

"Now we should instruct the Jose government to handle this incident immediately and fairly, invite the media to report it as soon as possible, and express our attitude. We deeply abhor such "outrageous" things and show the "freedom of the United States" to the people of Latin America.

The image of "democracy" is very helpful for our "return to Latin America."

Chief of Staff Becker was writing on the notepad, while Kerry glanced at McCarter with "interest". President Underwood put his arm on the coffee table, tapping the table gently, and said to his Secretary of State

Said: "McCarter's method is very good. Kerry, please hold a press conference immediately to express our position. Our US government will protest to the El Salvador government. Okay, gentlemen, seize the time and take action to let the Latin American people

Let’s see how much our U.S. government cares about them.”

Everyone dispersed, and the presidential office became quiet again. Blanco didn't know that his fate had been "decided" unknowingly.
