Chapter 509: I have good relations with the old and new commanders
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Commander-in-Chief of America..."
Ronald was waiting in New York when the inauguration ceremony of the Grand Commander was in progress. George Jr. communicated on the phone that the retired George Sr. was going to Staten Island in New York for vacation. So he put aside all business and came here in advance to prepare.
All things good to entertain old George.
"My dear people, today we are here to witness that winter is coming to an end and spring is coming..."
"Ronnie, are you watching TV?" Diane seemed to know something and did not come with Ronald, but the phone calls continued every day.
"He is like a Hollywood star... I will go back to accompany you after I entertain old George..." Ronald and Diane chatted affectionately for a while. They both had to be equal, so they could only communicate more.
After all, the outgoing commander-in-chief promised to protect him, so it is worthwhile to spend some time to help him in times of need. Fortunately, Ronald has the help of Walter Murch, and he can leave the editing work of "Sugar-coated Trap" with confidence, otherwise he would not have
Time to strengthen relationships.
"Old George will take a special plane to the airport for the last time, where he will return to civilian life. The commander-in-chief told reporters that he will spend most of his time in Houston, but before that, he has to make a long-standing commitment to his wife, Barbara.
Let's travel together and take a good look at the people of this country..."
On the TV, old George and Barbara boarded the helicopter with a smile, and then the scene cut back to the scene where the new leader was inaugurated. The relationship between the Donkey Party and the entertainment industry is obviously much better. Tonight's inauguration party will be led by Michael Jackson
All the celebrities will come to support it.
In the afternoon, Ronald finally picked up George Sr. at the New Jersey airport. He, George Jr., Douglas Jr. and others took a luxury car to Staten Island to rest. After Barbara arrived, she told her husband about Ronald
The various delicacies of his hometown and the quiet life in the countryside aroused George Sr.'s interest, and he made New York the first stop of his global travels after leaving office.
"Welcome..." Aunt Karen and her husband greeted the two retired elderly people at the door of their home. Barbara and Old George were very happy and hugged this representative, a loyal supporter of the Elephant Party on Staten Island.
"This must be...hey, you're not..."
Old George was smiling, wearing a windbreaker and color-changing glasses. When he got out of the car door, his glasses automatically adjusted the amount of light entering. He suddenly didn't recognize that the beautiful woman who picked him up was not Ronald's wife Diane.
After being stunned, I realized that this little guy was the same as me, and I couldn't help but smile knowingly. But next to me, Barbara, with her silver hair fluttering in the wind, was like a lion in winter, not angry or assertive. It's all in vain.
I think so highly of you, Ronald, why are you messing around like this with old George...
"This is my cousin Donna, who is also little Doug's fiancée..." Ronald explained to Barbara with a smile.
"Oh, lovely child, look how cute she is and how happy she is to see you...Family is the foundation of our country..." She turned from anger to joy, holding on to Donna and not letting go, and started praising her.
stand up.
"Huh..." Seeing this, Ronald let out a sigh of relief. Originally, Helen wanted to come and see him. Fortunately, little George informed him that his father wanted to turn a certain secretary into his own library after he resigned.
The person in charge was furious when his mother found out...
I had no choice but to find a way to persuade Helen, and made up a reason that the commander-in-chief came here for a secret vacation. Because he offended many people during his tenure, for safety reasons, he could only meet some familiar people. Since she was not on the list, she still needed to go through the process.
Strict security checks and the possibility of too strong radiation affecting the children made Helen give up the idea, but she still asked him to take a few more photos with the outgoing commander-in-chief for her to appreciate.
The outgoing commander-in-chief was in high spirits and was about to go fishing with Ronald, while Barbara pretended to exchange cooking skills with Aunt Karen.
"Hey, I'm hooked..." Old George swung the rod and caught a medium-sized trout.
"What a trout...very...well, nice..."
When Ronald saw old George catching a trout, he immediately came over and ordered someone to take a photo. The commander, who was wearing galoshes and raincoat, held the trout in his arms. His son and Ronald held the big fish between their fingers on the left and right, and took the photo.
This photo.
"This is really great. Entertainment in New England is different from Houston. We have to barbecue beef there. Let me tell you, for beef tongue, we need to use walnut wood, beef or sausage, and the aroma is more restrained.
Oak, or cherry wood..."
Old George talked happily about barbecue, which was also a sign of his relaxation.
"I think the people of America will bring out the best food of the week to share with you, Mr. Tatong." Ronald then came up to join in the fun.
"Hey..." Old George suddenly put down his fishing rod.
Unexpectedly, he didn't say a word correctly. Old George sighed, then took out his handkerchief, took off his glasses, and wiped the tears that came from his eyes.
"Sir...", Ronald was a little flustered, I just flattered him.
"It's none of your business. I just feel betrayed often in the past two months. Last year, the approval rate was over 90%. Who would have thought that it would only be so long ago that voters would look at me like this..."
Ronald quickly poured a cup of hot coffee and handed it over. I didn’t expect old George to be so sentimental and shed tears of depression at all times after so long after the election. What is this? With you, a heroic pilot in World War II.
It seems different?
"My father feels very hurt..." His son George Jr. was beside him, explaining to Ronald.
"Perhaps it would be a good choice to go abroad to meet your old friends. You know, the people of those countries are only grateful to you and have no resentment..."
Ronald thought for a while and made a small suggestion. Domestic voters betrayed him due to economic reasons. Several countries in the Middle East, Eastern Europe, and East Asia were full of favorable impressions of him. Maybe he could regain his former world leader there.
a sense of respect.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Do you think so? I do think so too...it happened that Kuwait...invited me to attend their celebration..." Old George looked at his son.
"I will go with you..." Little George said quickly. He couldn't go anyway, so he let go.
"What about you? Ronald? You can bring your girlfriend here..." Old George turned around and extended an invitation to Ronald. He really wanted to walk around with the young man and understand the reason for his failure.
"I'm sorry, T&T Prime Minister. Our company has business going to Japan. This is a big event of cultural counterattack..." Ronald explained. "Bodyguard" unexpectedly received good reviews in Japan, and the record and the song
"My Name Will Always Be Loved" also achieved great success in the Japanese pop music industry.
Sony Columbia specially invited members of the crew, as well as Ronald, an old friend, to come over to do marketing and discuss larger cooperation plans.
"Well done." One of George Sr.'s biggest regrets when he took office was that Japanese companies invaded the American market, causing a depression in the country's manufacturing industry, which indirectly led to his failure to be re-elected. I heard that Ronald was going to take America with him.
Cultural products, counterattack on Tokyo, he was so happy that he praised it a few times.
"I have...the phone number of the official residence here. Miyazawa is a good friend of mine, and there is also the liaison officer of the US military stationed in Japan. If you need anything, just call them and say they are my friends..." Old George also specifically asked his secretary
I wrote two contact information to him to show that I value it. Ronald also showed an envious expression and put it away solemnly, although he knew that since you have retired, the value of this thing is only for bragging.
Confucius once said, "As soon as a person leaves the table, the tea becomes cold..."
"But you must not eat their sashimi. What kind of food is that? I vomited last year. It was too bad..."
"Ah, yes..." Ronald didn't expect that his thinking was so backward and he wouldn't even eat food like sashimi.
"That was my father's painful past. Some of his comrades were..." After the return trip, the fish was made into cooked food, and little George quietly explained to Ronald. Old George vomited at the state banquet.
...It was also because I thought of my comrades who died tragically.
"It's so terrible, I'm going to vomit..." Ronald felt sick.
"But it might not be a good idea for you to advise him to go abroad for a walk...although it is indeed good for his mood." Little George pulled Ronald and whispered again.
"Why?"
"The CIA's intelligence briefing said that the lunatic in Iraq had a plan to assassinate my father."
"Oh, Shxt, I should have called you right then..." Ronald was shocked when he heard the secret.
"Let me tell you a secret. In fact, seventy-two hours after my father gave the order to stop the attack, he regretted it..."
At that time, in order to cooperate and lead the way, some tribes in northern Iraq made great sacrifices and did not continue to march. Although it was good news for those young people, those tribes were in misery...
"Isn't this a secret? Does it matter if I hear this?" Ronald felt fresh and a little doubtful.
"You have to keep it a secret, or I may have to kill you... Hahaha..." Little George humorously said a line that must be included in Hollywood movies up to this point, which reminded Ronald that this kind of thing still happens.
Don't listen too much.
"Hahaha, I have to say that the fish you caught can be said to have broken a record in Toteville on Staten Island. It is the largest catch for anyone who comes here to fish for the first time..."
"Ah, hahaha, I want to put this photo on my desk. Look, Barbara, how much I look like a brave cowboy..."
"Oh, dear... you are even more handsome than John Wayne..." Madam also cooperated very well and exclaimed, and then kissed old George. Her eyes stayed on the photo, on the left
Ronald, on the right is little George. Hey, it would be great if they were all his sons. Poor little Jeb had to run back to Florida because he lost the election.
"Thank you all, on this occasion,..."
MJ's special voice appeared at the CBS broadcast of the inaugural performance of the President. This young William knew how to use the media, and the stars he found for the party were all popular among the old, middle-aged and young audiences.
In addition to MJ, Elton John, Barbra Streisand, Michael Burton, Aretha Franklin and other singers all appeared at the scene. Warren Beatty, Bill Cosby and other Hollywood stars who have always supported...
Celebrities were also present. Ronald felt that he would be excluded from that circle in the future...
Fleetwood Mac, the original singer of the song "Don't Stop" that William used during his campaign, also temporarily regrouped for this event and sang the song.
Of course, the biggest name was MJ. When he came on the stage, the entire audience was silent, and even William's wife Rodham pretended to be listening to what he had to say.
"On this important occasion, I would like to mention a personal friend of mine, his name is Ryan White..." Michael Jackson continued to speak.
Ronald immediately felt the absurdity of this matter. At the inauguration banquet of the Grand Commander, the first couple and various celebrities all listened to Jackson talk about a personal friend of his?
Ryan White, he passed away too early. He sacrificed a lot to fight against the disease. I want to sing a song "Gooo Soon" for him.
Ryan White was the unfortunate child who influenced many people at that time and caused many people in DC to support research on the disease. He died within a few years of hemophilia infection.
"Uh..." This feeling was even weirder. Ronald lowered his voice and just watched the broadcast. Does MJ's influence in the country and even the world now surpass even William's?
"Bye!"
Early the next morning, the outgoing commander-in-chief and his wife were going to Maine to inspect their summer vacation home. Ronald used his private airport and asked Bono to fly them there in his private jet. This kind of courtesy allowed them to fly there.
Barbara was particularly satisfied, especially after comparing the perfunctory treatment at the White House, and even waved to Ronald from the porthole.
"Isn't that a bit of a forced uterus?"
At noon, Ronald went back to Manhattan to see Helen. Helen also watched last night's inaugural performance. The song that paid tribute to Ryan White, plus the second performance of "Heal The World", how did it feel like
It was certain groups that issued a bill to the commander-in-chief after the election, asking him to fulfill the promises he made to the extremist groups that supported them during the election.
"Hey, he is the commander-in-chief. Didn't you see that old George said he would regret not raising taxes based on the shape of my mouth?"
"William is on the other side..." Helen's understanding of this kind of powerful group is much deeper than Ronald's. Her mother was a public interest lawyer back then.
"I actually don't care too much. It's better for you and your child to be in New York. I don't care..."
"Why are you like this?" Helen, who had always cared about politics, was dissatisfied. But she soon saw the photo of Ronald and the outgoing commander-in-chief catching trout, and she suddenly became happy again, "Are you kidding me?"
Do you have a good relationship with the current commander-in-chief?"
"No, Staten Island where I live supports the Elephant Party." Ronald smiled, I actually have some relationship with William.
