Chapter 1596 I Won't Talk to You Anymore
"Mr. Lin, do you have any questions?" President Bush asked calmly.
Since Lin Feng's questions were unavoidable, President Bush calmed down in the shortest possible time. Once calm, President Bush naturally had no worries at all. Although Lin Feng was amazing and eloquent, he was discussing the national conditions of the United States this time. How could Lin Feng, a pure businessman, be qualified to debate with him in the field he was best at? This time, Lin Feng would bring shame upon himself.
Lin Feng smiled slightly.
"Mr. Bush, actually my question is very simple. That is, what is the American spirit?" Lin Feng asked with a smile.
Bush let out a long sigh. This kind of question is very simple.
"The United States, strictly speaking, is a country with a very short civilization and history, but we have the most complete social system, the most advanced scientific and technological level, the most influential economic development, the most advanced military level... We are a well-deserved great power. In many ways, the United States is indeed a unique country, and many phenomena are related to the characteristics of the founding process of the United States of America. If we want to understand and grasp it well, we must first go back to the founding process to find the source. Since the signing of the Mayflower Compact, its contents on "organizing citizen groups; formulating fair laws, decrees, rules and regulations" have laid the foundation for the New England states (New England is the northeastern United States. A religious group called tns was established in the 16th century. The British colonies are currently It is the name of the six states of the United States, namely Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont. ) The foundation of self-government, the United States has had a good foundation from the beginning. And we, the United States, relied on war to get rid of the British, unlike other countries, such as Australia, which was through peaceful means, and Canada still claims to be "loyal to the queen". However, we, the United States, have begun to seem destined to have endless disputes or non-fighting, they pursue and will not have the peace of Confucianism. The same is true for the subsequent Civil War. If you recognize the power, you must fight for it, even if there will be sacrifices, as long as that is, at least, what they think. Make up your mind, and then go forward bravely..." President Bush began to introduce the history of the United States in a gushing manner.
"Of course, I also know that the United States is not a perfect country, but I hope that with my efforts and the efforts of all Americans, I can make the United States a paradise. A beautiful country that people all over the world hope for!" Bush said with open hands.
There was applause at the scene.
Kerry shook his head in the distance. Lin Feng was adding bricks and tiles to Bush. Such a simple and naive question was actually asked. Isn't this a chance for Bush to show off! Too naive, too naive! -- Kerry, the Democratic candidate, sighed.
Originally, he had high hopes for Lin Feng. But now it seems that his hopes for Lin Feng are still too high, too high. Maybe Lin Feng can make a god in the business world, but when it comes to politics, Lin Feng is not good enough.
"Then Mr. President, what is the most important thing for such a powerful and peaceful country? What makes up the United States today?" Lin Feng asked again.
Bush frowned. This question is a bit deep. If the answer is not good, it will affect the outside world's doubts about his presidential level. But fortunately, this question is not difficult for him.
"What makes up the United States today? It's very simple-fair laws, democratic ideas, and the spirit of sacrifice to fight for democracy!" President Bush said.
There was applause again.
"Alas, this Lin Feng, why are the questions getting more and more low-level the more he asks? Isn't this giving President Bush extra points? If Lin Feng keeps asking questions like this, then there will be no need to hold presidential elections in the future, and Bush will definitely get full marks! -- Kerry stared at the TV in frustration. He wanted to turn off the TV at this moment. If he continued to watch, he really had no confidence at all.
Haha, Lin Feng, in terms of business, there are probably few people on this planet who can rival you, but in terms of politics, you are far behind. Ask, ask, keep asking-President Bush was very happy at this moment. Originally, the host was ready to stop Lin Feng from asking more questions, but was stopped by President Bush. As for these questions, the more questions the better, he In order to better express yourself. If someone else asks this question, the outside world may say that President Bush is bragging, but when Lin Feng asks it, there is no problem at all.
Because Lin Feng and President Bush don't get along, it's not a big secret. Ordinary people don't know, but those powerful reporters are still clear, but most of them don't say it. After all, once it is said, the president of the United States can't deal with a foreign businessman, how embarrassing. Therefore, from this point of view, don't look at how powerful the United States is, in fact, it is the same in some things. Its power is only relative.
"President Bush, then what is your attitude, or the United States, towards the earth?" Lin Feng asked again.
Bush was even happier. This question is really easy to answer.
"Regarding the earth, this planet where all human beings live together, I think every human being has the obligation to make it better. Whether you are an American, a Chinese, or a German, you have the power and responsibility to protect this earth. And as the most powerful, most powerful, and most responsible country on this planet, we, the United States, have an obligation to do so!" Bush said with a fist.
applause! Harvard students all around burst into wild applause. President Bush's answer demonstrates the hegemony of the United States and its confidence as the world's most powerful country. This is undoubtedly very popular among Harvard students and the American people. After all, as an American, I am naturally satisfied with the current global status of the United States. Even if they know in their hearts that the current attitude of the United States toward the world is a bit inappropriate, no one is willing to bring it up.
Kerry, the candidate of the Democratic Party, can no longer hide his face at this moment. He didn't know whether Lin Feng was here to praise Bush today or to cause trouble for Bush. Aren’t you the son-in-law of that lunatic Donald Trump? Are you ready to betray your father-in-law and switch to the Bush camp? ——Kerry is quite confused about this.
Kerry is confused, and Donald Trump is even more confused. He was already a little faint at the moment. Fortunately, he had been excited about Lin Feng's appearance at Harvard University and opened a bottle of champagne to celebrate. He also booked a banquet for Lin Feng at the most luxurious hotel in New York to welcome him. Who could have expected that Lin Feng would make such a mistake in the end. If he continues to ask questions like this, he will be completely out of luck.
Unfortunately, Lin Feng's problems continue.
"Mr. Bush, how do you evaluate the United States today?" Lin Feng asked.
"The United States is stronger and more prosperous than at any time in history. Today, the United States is thriving and prosperous." Although Bush knew that Lin Feng's question seemed a bit mysterious, he had to answer this question.
"Well, Mr. Bush, listen, how do you evaluate yourself?" Lin Feng asked again.
"I, a person voted by the people to become the president of the United States, I am honored that the American people chose me to be the president of the United States. In the past four years, the United States has encountered many difficulties, and I have also encountered some troubles of this and that kind, but I and the American people "I know I still have some shortcomings in my work, but I will correct these mistakes in the next four years and lead the United States to a more glorious future," President Bush said with a fist.
Applause broke out again. This speech seems to have become a show before Bush's re-election as president.
Kerry and Donald Trump were completely speechless. They had been completely defeated by Lin Feng, and they didn't understand why Lin Feng specifically raised these extremely mentally retarded questions. If you are not prepared, don't go looking for trouble with Bush. Instead of embarrassing Bush, it actually increases his momentum. This is simply unacceptable.
well! Thinking of this, Kerry and Donald Trump sighed at the same time despite being thousands of miles apart.
But at this moment, everyone originally thought that this lecture would have a dull start. When it ended, things changed.
"Mr. Bush, I would like to ask one thing. Since you think that your four years in power are not wrong, then why do you have your shoes smashed in front of you!" Lin Feng asked.
Originally, Bush's shoe was smashed. Historically, it happened on August 4, 2018. The outgoing US President George W. Bush paid a farewell visit to Iraq and signed the US Troop Agreement and the Strategy between the two countries with Iraqi Prime Minister Jawad al-Maliki. Framework Agreement. At a press conference held during the period, Iraqi journalist Zaidi took off his own two shoes and threw them at Bush, almost killing himself, and used this to express his dissatisfaction with the US policy on Iraq.
However, due to the emergence of Lin Feng, the Bush administration, which was greatly disgraced by the "9." incident, intensified its attack on Iraq in order to divert the attention of the American public, which also led to the premature occurrence of this "shoe throwing incident." During this year's presidential election, Bush went to Iraq to condolences to the officers and soldiers stationed in Iraq, and when he held a press conference, his shoe was thrown at him. Coincidentally, it was still Zaidi who threw the shoe.
After hearing Lin Feng's question, Bush was immediately embarrassed and didn't know how to respond. Bush has always been worried about this shoe-throwing incident. He didn't understand why he was so unlucky. When he first took office, the U.S. economy was in dire straits. Shortly after taking office, he encountered the last terrorist attack in American history. As the President of the United States, he encountered people throwing shoes. If it weren't for his agility, he would have been hit.
Although Bush's answer was perfect at the time, this incident has always been brooding in Bush's heart. Now that Lin Feng brought it up again, Bush was naturally unhappy.
"Although I can give God points for my self-evaluation of my administration over the past four years, it does not mean that everyone recognizes my efforts. Especially with regard to the Iraq War, many people cannot correctly examine this war. Many people think that this This war is meaningless, but I believe that in ten or twenty years, future generations will definitely applaud this war in Iraq, especially the Iraqi people will be grateful to the United States because it was the United States that brought them democracy and democracy. **." In order to answer Lin Feng's question, Bush had to mention the Iraq War, which was causing him a lot of headaches. "I believe that if it had been Saddam's press conference, this reporter would not have dared to throw away his shoes! On the one hand, Iraq has made progress, and its progress was achieved at the expense of the lives of American soldiers.”
There was applause.
Lin Feng also gave a secret thumbs up. This Bush is indeed not simple. He is a character who can turn things around in such a situation. But today is destined to be your unlucky day. ——Lin Feng said confidently.
"So, Mr. Bush, why did you start the Iraq War? Is it really just for the peace of the Iraqi people? If so, what is your understanding of peace? Is the peace that President Bush believes in peace, and is it applicable everywhere? If so, does it mean that when the peace of other countries does not match the peace that President Bush believes in, it is not peace? If so, does it mean that other countries are evil? If so, what is the difference between President Bush's peace and peace? Also, is the American style of "peace" definitely suitable for Iraq? If it is suitable, why has Iraq been trapped in war and American soldiers have been unable to withdraw from Iraq." Lin Feng's series of "peace" was like a tongue twister, but after he finished speaking, all the Harvard students at the scene fell silent.
Indeed! Although President Bush said that the Iraq War brought peace to the Iraqi people, Iraqi journalists like Zaidi could create gods and throw shoes at the president of a country at a press conference, which was absolutely not allowed during Saddam's rule. On the surface, the Iraq War did bring peace to the Iraqi people. But on the other hand, is the "peace" brought by the United States necessarily suitable for the Iraqi government?
In addition, many countries in the world are not so peaceful. For example, most Arab countries have servants who exist almost like a slave society, and Western developed countries, the royal families of each country are already above the ordinary people. According to the American style of peace, will the United Kingdom, Denmark and other countries not be enough? If not, should they also go to war? ——The Harvard student thought deeply about it and felt cold sweat on his back.
If this inference continues, it seems that the Iraq War is not for the liberation of Iraq as President Bush said. Moreover, even if Iraq is to be liberated, must American soldiers use artillery shells and fighter planes to liberate it?
Bush was also sweating profusely at this moment. He did not expect Lin Feng's counterattack to be so sharp, and he seemed to have fallen into Lin Feng's trap.
*** and ***, these are symbols of the American spirit, but Bush knows that these are actually two empty words.
***, there has never been a real *** on this planet!
***, the people have never really been the masters of their own house!
Simply put, there are only relative *** and *** in this world, and this "relative" reference depends on whether it harms the interests of some bigwigs.
However, at present, the ratings of this debate have soared to 4%, and almost more than 100 million Americans have watched this unexpected debate through various channels. Therefore, at such a critical moment, Bush cannot lose. He cannot lose!
"The Iraq War is..." President Bush wanted to quibble, but Lin Feng did not give him a chance.
"President Bush, why did you start the Iraq War? What is the real reason? You said it was not for oil, nor for Israel or other things, so what is it?" Lin Feng asked loudly.
Bush was like a dog whose tail was stepped on, and he was a little desperate.
"I don't want to go to war, I have never thought about going to war. It is extremely wrong to take it for granted that I want to go to war, I-" Bush used several "don't want" in a row, but Lin Feng did not give him any breathing space.
"President Bush, what is all this for? Why did you start the Iraq War? At the cost of sacrificing more than 10,000 American soldiers and spending billions of dollars, what is all this for? "Lin Feng questioned.
"I reiterate that no American president wants to go to war (omitted words here), which is why I am in Iraq - please let me finish -" Seeing that Lin Feng was about to speak again, Bush hurriedly stopped him and wanted to order the host to turn off Lin Feng's microphone to give him a chance to breathe, but Lin Feng had never used the microphone from beginning to end. If he wanted to turn it off, how could he turn it off!
"They didn't do anything to you and your country." Lin Feng interrupted President Bush.
Bush was interrupted by Lin Feng at this moment, and he was a little crazy. Especially because Lin Feng kept holding on to this issue, Bush hated it even more. Originally, the Iraq War issue had been held on by the Communist Party, and it was the biggest obstacle for Bush to be re-elected as president. As a result, Lin Feng held on to this issue again today and embarrassed him. But the problem is that Lin Feng is not a big shot, just a businessman; second, he is not even an American, so what right does he have to accuse him.
"They did it, they did it! The Taliban provides a safe haven for Al-Qaeda, and Al-Qaeda is trained there—"Bush almost roared, but was interrupted by Lin Feng again.
"But I'm talking about Iraq!" Lin Feng shrugged.
Iraq, damn Iraq!——President Bush was so angry that his face turned red, but he didn't know what to say at the moment. If it weren't for the tempering of his years of political career, he would have blurted out some extremely wrong words just now. Fortunately, at the last moment, he retained a trace of reason and was not driven crazy by Lin Feng.
"I reiterate again that the Iraq War is right. As for whether it is right or not, I think neither I nor you can comment. But I believe that history will naturally have a public opinion. "Bush said and stopped answering the question.
"Next!" Bush pointed at someone at random. He didn't want to talk to Lin Feng anymore, never!
What a pity!
