Chapter 738 Cemetery Memorial Term Declaration
The next day, the smoke of gunpowder in Washington had not yet completely faded. The cheers from the American people had already resounded through all cities in this country.
Heroes, leaders, miracles, titles one after another were hung on Tony, and countless worships turned him into the moon that was sought after by countless stars in the night. Whether it was individuals, media, civilians or nobles, they all highly praised this superhero with special status. Therefore, it was natural that Tony became the best candidate to lead the United States.
There will be no other competitors, and no one dares to compete with Tony in this situation. In this way, amid the calls of unity, Tony ascended the throne of the US president as quickly as possible and became the forty-seventh president of the United States.
There was no grand ceremony, nor any related procedures. Tony moved into the White House, taking his companions in the Avengers, and the reinforcements he invited. Although, as a billionaire, he was fully qualified to hold a banquet and celebrate it well at this time. But he did not, but silently clean up the end of Washington, and arranged his first day's itinerary after becoming president, which was the Arlington National Cemetery located on the Potomac River in Washington.
On this day, the dark crowd rushed into the cemetery where countless martyrs were buried like a silent river. They were American citizens who came spontaneously after receiving the news, and they were also grateful people who wanted to send the martyrs who died in this war.
In their sight, the guards of honor carried heavy coffins on their shoulders and walked step by step towards the depths of the cemetery step by step in neat steps. The coffins covered with the American flag walked quietly in front of everyone like a long dragon. Soon, the bystanders blurred their sight.
The sacrifice of five hundred soldiers is not a rare thing for the United States, which is full of disasters. But it is rare that these soldiers really sacrificed their lives to protect this country. It is not because of the interests of some ambitious people, nor because of some crazy ideas. It is just fulfilling their duties to protect their homes. In this way, they are enough to make people feel admiration and sadness in their hearts.
Under such circumstances, all the bystanders did not speak. Only the crying of the martyrs' families continued to echo over the quiet cemetery. Faced with such a sad scene, Tony twitched his nose vigorously and held back the stirring feelings in his heart.
"At this time, don't cry, Your Excellency the President!"
Standing next to Tony was Natasha in a black women's suit, she was wearing a black women's top hat with a lace veil. Although she couldn't tell what her face looked like from the veil, Tony believed that this woman must be waiting to see her joke. This made him whisper to her.
"Don't you have any sadness?"
"Yes! But I'm used to it. As an agent, I've seen much more scenes than you, so even the behavior of crying is unnecessary. Do I need me to lend you a handkerchief?"
"Hey, Natasha. Can't you be serious?"
Carefully avoiding the eyes of the people around him, Tony took the handkerchief from Natasha's hand honestly. Obviously, he was not as strong as he was.
Soon, five hundred martyrs were buried in their tombs one by one. Tony slowly walked to the temporary release stage with a group of admiration, admiration and even resentment. This was his home court, but now, it was the first time he stood in front of these microphones as a president. This made him feel a heavy responsibility and a regret that had been in the past.
However, he quickly adjusted his emotions and put the heaviest expression on his face.
"First of all, I would like to thank you for attending the funerals of these martyrs. I believe this is the greatest comfort to them and the families of those martyrs. Here, I would like to thank you in the name of the 47th President of the United States."
Speaking of this, Tony bent down deeply and expressed his attitude with his actions. This naturally caused a flash of spotlights.
A sincere president! This is what many reporters say about Tony in their hearts. With this good first impression, Tony quickly took advantage of the victory and said.
"Twenty-four hours have passed, and I believe many people are vivid in their minds about what happened yesterday. Yes, our country has been bullied again, from the ghosts and demons who have been entangled with us. Hydra, this evil organization is not as easy as giving up on us and everything they operate in this country. As you can see, they will retaliate against everything they even start a war."
"Thankfully, we persevered yesterday. We had a difficult victory in the fight against Hydra. It deserves our cheers and pride. But I hope you all can remember that this is just the beginning."
"Our enemies cannot end their actions towards this country in a terrible way. Their greed and ambition are endless. Maybe it is the near future, maybe it is tomorrow, maybe it is now, those evil people will definitely make a comeback. And if we do not do a good job of preventing, then you can imagine what will be a waiting for us."
A simple opening remark put the current national conditions of the United States directly in front of everyone. For such realistic words, those people who have become accustomed to the strength of the United States and have been immersed in the past immediately became turbulent. Soon, they were anxious to hold up the microphone and shouted at Tony impatiently.
"His Excellency President, do you have no confidence in defeating this evil organization?"
"I certainly have confidence, of course I have this kind of thing. But sometimes we have to face reality." After a look at the reporter who spoke without permission, Tony took over his question and replied to him. "We must acknowledge the strength of the enemy and the weakness of our strength. In this confrontation, we do not have any advantage. There has never been a victory in every battle. Even with the powerful United States in the past, we have the failure of North Korea and Vietnam. Now, we are far from having an advantage at that time!"
"Mr. President." Another reporter raised his hand high, but his behavior was much more standardized. So Tony nodded at him with a smile, indicating that he could stand up and ask questions.
"Mr. President, I think you have exaggerated this organization called Hydra. Even if this organization is strong, it is always just a terrorist organization. In the face of the state machine, it does not have the power to fight against us, right?"
"Good question!" Tony sneered on his face. Then he said bluntly to the microphone in front of him. "This is a typical example of being immersed in the glory of our country in the past."
"Yes, if it were the past when our country was prosperous, maybe we could do this. But now, please remember that this gentleman and everyone who have the same ideas as this gentleman, please remember this, that is, we are no longer the United States."
"Our country has just eradicated a group of borers, a group of terrible borers, and even my ex is one of them. Their existence is enough to prove that this country is already terminally ill. It is like a house that has been crippled by termites. You don't even know if it will completely collapse in the next moment. Maybe you don't believe this, so let me use examples to prove my point of view."
"Because of those borers, we have attacked the most incredible gods in the world without authorization. This has caused our air force to lose a considerable third of its vitality. And because of the bill against mutants that we passed before our politics, we and these powerful supernatural races have completely become enemies. All our overseas fleets have fallen into their hands, and you can't even be sure what kind of identity those ships will appear next time they come back."
"This is just a military loss, and I haven't said it military and politically yet. Of course, I may not be able to make it clear now, but I can tell you that on the government bill I saw this morning, I saw an amazing number that gave me a headache. This huge deficit is even more than any time in our government. If we don't do anything to solve this problem, then we can believe that a financial crisis is right in front of us."
"In addition, the United States' partners abroad, Japan, and South Korea have almost completely cut off political relations with us. They have controlled our military bases on their territory and intend to use this as a bargaining chip for certain negotiations. This is the news I received this morning, and I believe you may get new relevant news soon."
"I said so much, not to intimidate you, nor to disappoint you in this country. But to let you know that we should wake up. The United States is no longer the United States, and this country is in a mess than ever. If we still treat the world with the previous perspective, then our future will be bumpy. That is not what we hope. So we should unite and overcome difficulties together. At the same time, we should do everything possible to restore our country to its former appearance. I think that only by doing this can we be worthy of the martyrs who sleep here."
The news that Tony broke out was amazing. In fact, this news has exceeded every American's imagination. They almost completely unaware that such a terrible thing had happened around them. When they saw all this, they immediately began to fear in their hearts.
And at this moment, a reporter stood up.
"Mr. President. I am Barbara Louise, editor-in-chief of Huiyaoshi Daily. I would like to ask you, what are your goals during your term?"
"Target!" With a subtle smile on the identity of this reporter, Tony immediately looked bright and said firmly. "Of course, it is to reshape everything in the United States, and to destroy the evil organization Hydra!" (To be continued.)
