Reborn America, this is my time

Chapter 164 Defense attack!

"Yesterday, after... the signing of the treaty, people from all sides expressed their views. Our former deputy commander expressed his praise, saying that Jimmy's actions showed the world that we in America respect and trust the people of BNM... Our former Secretary of State also issued a document saying that Jimmy's reasonable resolution of the canal dispute is in the long-term interests of our country... It reflects our country's inclusive values... What do you think about this,...professor?"

"What do I think? What do I think? What do these people say? It's bullshit in my opinion! Because everything they say has no basis in fact! They say that transferring the ownership and operation of the canal is in the long-term interest of our country, so can they point out where the specific interest lies? They can't! They say that Jimmy's actions show the world that we in America respect and trust...? Then I want to ask, can the current... be trusted? We have said many times how independent they are! They have not been stable for ten years! No one knows Will they still exist in the next second! To give the canal to such a... that is really a tragedy!"

"So...professor, what do you think?"

"My opinion is the same as that of most people. This is a mistake...I think this is weakening our influence in the Western Hemisphere...Jimmy is selling the interests of the country in exchange for his good reputation in the world...Just like Ethan Jones said, Jimmy's success has never been his personal success! The power Jimmy wields is not his personal power either! He is using the people's trust in him to run his own business! He is using the people's support for him in exchange for his own wealth!"

"So... as a professor of sociology, you also think Ethan Jones is right?"

"Of course! Although he is a 22-year-old kid! Uh...I don't mean to disrespect Mr. Jones here, I'm just repeating what he said. What I want to say is that although he is very young, although he said that he has not received a college education, his cognition and understanding of society are far beyond ordinary people. When kids who go to college know all this... how can Jimmy not know what his behavior means?"

"His actions are embarrassing to America!"

"Crack!" Ethan turned off the TV and threw the remote control on the table in front of him.

Hold your head with one hand and insert your hair with five fingers.

When he picked up a freshly baked newspaper, countless headlines came into view.

["This is a dangerous and unnecessary concession!" - "Los Angeles Times"]

【"This is a new chapter in the field of diplomacy!" - "Washington Post"】

["Jimmy Makes Tough Decision, Officially Announces Re-Election Chance" - San Francisco Daily]

["A New Era of Peaceful Advance in America" ​​- The New York Times]

Although the headlines of these media are both good and bad, and the unconvincing wind of controversy provides sweet and delicious food for the melon field, but at this moment, Ethan can't watch the scolding from the outside world with distorted excitement as usual, because whenever there is a voice of opposition, his name and the previous speech that angered Warner are like a dazzling sun, hanging high above the page.

For a normal person, this may be a great thing.

If this kind of thing falls on those guys who want to enter the official career, then they may all jump three feet high in excitement!This huge amount of traffic allows them to easily get a bunch of votes!Easily cross the election threshold!Gain a solid congressional seat in some conservative states!

But for Ethan Jones... this special is a nightmare!
Because he's a businessman, and he's not running from scratch!
He put on Wei Guangzheng's coat, and Warner who just wanted to hate him didn't know him at all!
The results of it?
Warner was indeed crying by him.

But his words against Warner were also used by others to attack the current commander-in-chief.

Nima...

What kind of shit is this special code!
If we say a few days ago, after seeing the solemn statement issued by Warner Communications, he, Ethan Jones, was still as happy as eating honey.So now, when the media all over the world are quoting his words to criticize the commander in chief, he really wants to swallow what he said before.

This is not because he is afraid that his words and deeds will be noticed, targeted and retaliated by the person concerned.

Because all American people know that those media are quoting his words, and he himself has not made a public statement, let alone expressed his views on Jimmy's actions.

What he was worried about was that he had voted for Jimmy last year!

Just like the staff comments I heard when I went upstairs yesterday——

In the general election last year, he cast a sacred vote for Jimmy as an American citizen. Although this kind of thing didn't seem to be a big deal at the time, because voting was free, but from the current point of view, it is not the same thing.

Because once the media interviewed him and asked him what he thought of the canal, he couldn't answer at all.

Say support?
That's over.

He was still showing his patriotism with his first kick, and the next second he supported Jimmy's idea of ​​handing over the sovereignty of the canal?This special is simply waving his arms, slapping the faces of those conservatives who spread his words!

Say no support?

The situation may be a little better than say the support, but not much better.

If he didn't support Jimmy's governance ideas, what was he doing last year?More importantly, with Jimmy's rise to power, many of his friends have gained official positions in Jimmy's ZF.If he says he doesn't support it, then what's the previous visit to DoJ and DoD?
At that time, he went there openly. Although he didn't notify the media, no one knew if anyone took photos.Moreover, when Roy Disney can get the special gift that their destiny game gave to those officials' children... It's really too easy for the opponent to want to attack him.

So, yesterday, after hearing the comments from the employees, he knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly ran away. When the news about him appeared, and there were all the news about him, he really realized how unpalatable the defense was.

Pooh!
wrong!

He didn't take a reply!

"Special!"

"This shit is definitely Steve Ross' work!"

Ethan threw away the newspaper and banged on the table.

Although he knew that the boss of the Warner Group did not have the power to control the national public opinion, but the current disgusting thing could be done without manipulating public opinion.

Because many conservatives themselves are very dissatisfied with Jimmy's canal proposal.

In this case, he just made a gospel statement that pissed off Warner?

Oh—then, then, let some media who are close to you but don’t like Jimmy Canal’s claims quote his gospel statement when they speak out, wouldn’t that be the end of it?
This can put him directly on the fire!
Anyone who is not a fool can see this way of fanning fire.

As long as there is a little strength, it can be done.

And Warner Communications chairman Steve Ross is less stupid and more powerful.

"Grass!"

Ethan threw out his calf and gave a kick to vent his anger.

"Boom!" There was a dull sound from the corner of the solid wood table.

"Hiss—" The collision with it also brought a sharp pain to Ethan, causing him to gasp, "Damn it! It hurts so much!" He hurriedly drew back his feet and rubbed his toes.

The self-inflicted appearance made the eyelids of the girl nestled on the sofa twitch.

Although Ethan had made things clear to her after returning yesterday, the girl understood Warner's provocation and Ethan's decisive counterattack, but even so, she still wanted to talk about it at this moment.

"Ethan, I support your approach."

"When Warner threw his fist in our face, of course we fought back decisively."

"But you're too careless this time, aren't you?"

"Before, whether it was Mirov suing us for copyright infringement, or Atari threatening us for compensation, or Nintendo's premeditation, or Philips' planning, you always acted after you figured out all the situations, but this time... why did you... why did you suddenly give Warner a punch?"

Evelyn couldn't figure it out.

And Ethan...

Sitting behind the desk, the corners of his mouth twitched.

My sister asked him why he suddenly punched Warner?
Very simple!

He was careless!No flash!

When he learned from Steven Spielberg and George Lucas that Warner had a criminal record and that David Geffen was in a state of being banned, Ethan felt that Warner was looking for death, so he went up in what he thought was a cool way.

It's that simple!
He also knows the reason for this situation. It is nothing more than hearing too many good words recently. When Roy Disney, the son of the Disney founder, wanted to use his power to regain the company, when Walt Disney’s son-in-law wanted to stabilize his position through cooperation, when Paramount, Fox, MGM, and Columbia were all licking their faces and wanting to seek cooperation...

What would he be, Ethan Jones, if he didn't flap his proud little wings?

Therefore, when he found out that Little Warner dared to speak wild words...

Then wouldn't I be able to suppress it with the power of thunder to show my majesty?

Although it may sound like a little bit of secondary school, but...

"Cough cough cough..." Ethan coughed pretendingly, wanting to quibble, "Evelyn, you can't blame me for this, right? This incident was just an accident, and no one knew that Steve Ross would fight back in this way. Besides, things like canals don't happen every time, right?"

As soon as these words came out, Ethan wanted to hit him or her.

Because he himself felt that he was a bit shirking responsibility.

And Evelyn glared even more, and raised her voice.

"Then you want to say that Warner is lucky?"

"Don't you watch the news about something as big as the canal?"

"Even if all you think about every day is making games, but before you make a national statement or buy a national advertisement, don't you think about whether there is something wrong with your speech? Your evasive reason really makes me want to beat you up!"

Evelyn raised her fist.

Ethan shrank his neck.

"Okay, Okay, Okay, I was careless."

He resolutely admitted, "I really don't read the news very much, because I..."

"I don't like reading newspapers, and I don't have the habit of listening to the radio or watching TV."

"I was wrong—"

What Ethan said is true. As a soul of the 21st century, his biggest advantage is that he likes to play with mobile phones. When people in the mobile Internet era can learn about major events in the world by pulling out their mobile phones, newspapers, TV and radio?Those are old antiques!

In addition, in his previous life, he had no chance to speak out in America.

Over time, when faced with zero-yuan purchases, they all look at it with the mentality of eating melons.

Because of this, after coming to this era, he cared very little about current affairs, not because he didn't like Jianzheng, but because he didn't listen to politics much.

Before, he felt that there was nothing wrong with what he did. Anyway, everything he did was a commercial act. Everyone was making noise in the circle. It didn't matter whether he listened to it or not. But now, in his previous life, he was too lazy to listen because it was useless.After having more money, not understanding this thing really delays things.

Of course, he also admitted that he didn't want to listen because he listened too much.

When I went to work in my previous life, the Bloomberg machine kept ringing, and I finally have a little leisure time in this life...

Well, it seems that there is no way to relax.

"Oh!" Evelyn sighed heavily, "Be careful next time."

Ethan glanced at her and promised, "There won't be a next time."

"..." Evelyn froze for a moment, smiled and shook her head, "Then this time?"

"Play dead."

In Ethan's view, the best way to deal with this incident is to play dead, not to contact outsiders, not to accept any interviews, and not to interact with anyone who might gossip.

No way, who made the canal too big?

Whoever touches this kind of issue involving sovereignty will die. In the previous life, since Jimmy became a good man and won the reputation of Renzong, in this life, he should carry it alone.

To be honest, in the eyes of the international community, Jimmy is indeed a hero.

Because of the canal issue, there was a real quarrel in 13, but America dragged on for [-] years. After four commanders, it was not until Renzong came to power that he gave the other party an explanation.

But again, honestly, in American eyes, he's a jerk.

Before that, no one dared to sell the land like this.

And Warner used his words for this kind of thing?
Oh--

He underestimated Steve Ross, this guy is obviously also a version player!
Grandma's!

Next time you have a chance, you must feed him a big one!
After Ethan gave his thoughts, Evelyn asked again: "What about Warner?"

"There should be no action on Warner's side."

"Are you sure? Why?"

"It's very simple, because it's true that I voted for Jimmy, but it's also true that they used their leading position in the market to do monopoly things. We're grabbing each other's handle, and it's just the kind of handle that can only stink each other, but not kill each other, so...it's pointless to use."

Ethan shrugged and said: "And even if they really use it, it doesn't matter, right? At worst, I went to Principal Terman and cried holding his thigh. I said that he was also responsible for this matter, because it was Barbara who asked me to vote for Jimmy, and Barbara was the legal talent he brought in, so rounding it up, he actually asked me to vote for Jimmy."

"Since he asked me to vote for Jimmy, shouldn't he help me solve the problem?"

Evelyn was dumbfounded when she heard no proper words while talking.

"Wow Ethan...how can you be such a dog!" The girl couldn't believe it.

"Thank you for the compliment." Ethan accepted it with a lick of his face.

Such an answer made Evelyn's face darken.

After recovering from panting for a few seconds, she said, "Forget it, let's not talk about it."

"Well, do you want to call Barbara back?"

"She should be embarrassed by you now."

"Although she is also very dissatisfied with Jimmy's approach."

This proposal was approved by Ethan.

He put away his joking thoughts and said, "Of course, Barbara is also a good person."

"She helped us so many times, but this time I got her into a lot of trouble."

Ethan felt that he should call Barbara. His previous reckless remarks might have a negative impact on her. However, when he communicated with Barbara on the phone in advance, the secretary who answered the phone said, "Ms. Babcock is not here recently."

"What?" Ethan asked strangely.

"She's on vacation."

"??? Sorry miss, do you know where she went?"

"do not know."

"..."

This result gave Ethan a headache.

'Fuck! '

'Barbara won't be forced to leave because of me? '

'The next step is to be fired? '

'hiss--'

'If this is the case, am I afraid that I will be beaten to death by Evelyn? '

And when Ethan was thinking that his butterfly wings should not be able to flap the white house, he received calls from many people, including Steven Spielberg and George Lucas asking him about his situation, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak asking about his current situation, and Uncle Thomas Johnson and Aunt Linda Johnson telling him to go home if he couldn’t do it.

These concerns warmed his heart.

After telling everyone that he was fine, Ethan really stayed at home and didn't go out. After two or three days?He was so restless that he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

"Who?" he asked.

"Is me—"

This response made Ethan a little strange, he leaned over the cat's eyes and took a look...

Good guy!
Why did Barbara come to him?
