Chapter 510: Presidential Inauguration
The sun is very rare in the early morning, but it is just near the spring. The sun does not feel warm on the ground. On the contrary, it has a cool and mellow taste, making people wonder whether this is the signal of the end of winter.
Washington in March will usher in a shuffle, this is the time when the Democratic Party re-enters the White House after twelve years. There are already a lot of supporters on the streets of Washington, ready to express support for the new president that day.
Sheffield thought she was honoured to have received the invitation letter for the inauguration ceremony. You can personally participate in this rare scene, staring at the unknown bird, and the bird seemed to be blind to him, only to peck on the window sill. , Sheffield lowered her head gently and found that those things were flowers.
Ah ... a long yawn scared the bird away, and Sheffield recovered, and he was refreshed by the stunned kung fu, before continuing to talk to Jessra, "The anti-equipment gun experiment has been Towards the end, I said don't worry, isn't the 25mm caliber waste used, the solution is more difficult than it is. "
"The news of this kind of firearms from Texas has very high demands on users. A person can only fire two shots, and it cannot be used on a large scale. The gun factory means that it can be reduced to 20. Mm. "Jessra said while making gestures, pointing out some drawbacks.
However, in Sheffield's view, this kind of drawback can be overcome completely, and he paused, "Always run out of inventory. Now that the economy is not good, you can only think of more ways. Running out of inventory is simply configuring, in fact, There are not many places where this kind of gun is used. Now the test is also to prevent first-hand. When the need is saved, the finished product can not be obtained for a while. "
Strictly speaking, if the firearms currently being tested are more appropriate, they should be called anti-tank guns. An anti-tank rifle is a rifle designed to penetrate vehicle armor. Its main target is the armor target. This type of rifle was also put into the battlefield from the beginning of the tank until the end of World War II. It was because the armor of the vehicle became thicker and thicker, and the solid warhead carried by a single soldier could not penetrate them. At this point the anti-tank rifle was replaced by a later tapered weapon.
Bazooka and Iron Fist are descendants of anti-tank guns. Sheffield is very interested in this kind of guns with little technical content, that is, thickened barrels and thickened guns. After all, it is not difficult to produce, and besides, it has tank technology as a reserve, and it is no less an anti-tank gun.
Although the situation is good now, the preparations must be made. Think in the long run. If Lincoln, the moral model established by the Republican Party one day, is really knocked down and stepping on 10,000 feet, will the Republican Party sit still and die? This is a very serious question. Lincoln brought the Republican Party ’s continuous ruling foundation. In other words, Lincoln can be said to be the soul of the Republican Party. It pushed down the image of Lincoln as a great bank, at least for the Republican Party at the beginning of the century. Blow.
Because Lincoln is very important to many Republicans, Sheffield did not try to sway the image of the president, because the century is not yet, and now it is only for the descendants of the president. But if one day the slave owner feels this strength, he will overthrow Lincoln's image, so be prepared to showdown with the Republican Party.
Taking a chance, Sheffield avoided Anne ’s sight and went to Alice Roosevelt ’s private meeting. She was 10,000 willing to move the other party out of the White House. She was very anxious when she first met and began to move her hands. It is completely the state of the brain controlled by the crotch.
"Now you are happy, the Democratic Party is strong, you can say what you want to do." Alice Roosevelt deeply despised Sheffield for getting cheap and selling well.
"You can't say that, because what I want to do is hardly blocked by anyone. So you can't accuse me of what I already have, right?" Sheffield shouted injustice and dragged Alice Roosevelt's hands. Do n’t spread, “I ’m only interested in things that I do n’t have. For example, if you and I are together, I ’ve arranged it all. If you say to study in Europe, I will build a manor specifically for you. Give you."
"My mouth is like smeared honey, who knows what you said is true and false, and I am no longer the president's daughter and has no use value." Alice Roosevelt shook her head, waiting for Sheffield's response. When she said this, she was also a little uneasy in her heart, fearing that her guess would become a reality.
Even if the slave owner hides it better, Alice Roosevelt sometimes wonders whether the other party has taken a fancy to the status of his president ’s daughter and simply regarded himself as a good-looking trophy. This unrealistic feeling has always existed. Now She wanted a reassuring answer.
Sheffield ’s answer was not disappointing, and she said helplessly, “This has nothing to do with whether you are the president ’s daughter. Even if your father is a president, you ca n’t treat me. I do n’t need to because of your father ’s position. Becky, if President Roosevelt was the emperor, it would be different.
Listening to this standard set of villain words, Alice Roosevelt was not very angry. She had already learned the honesty of the slave owner. She always said the most truthful words in the harshest tone, and it was good to get used to it. .
When I thought about it, I was shocked when I looked back and exclaimed, "Why are you doing this? It's daytime."
"My trousers are all taken off. You can tell me this. It's not good if you don't communicate for a long time." Sheffield's clothes have been scattered all over. Only the upper body looks like a gentleman, and I can't wait for Alice Roosevelt to jump up. .
March 4, 1908, is the day of the presidential inauguration. Sheffield attaches more importance to this day than more supporters of Alton Parker, because it marks a new beginning, and only he knows in his heart that this The new president was an unknown judge in history, and the only election was to do Roosevelt's cannon fodder.
And today such a person becomes the president of this country, marking a new beginning in Sheffield's life. The significance is absolutely extraordinary. Since it is a new beginning, the original rough inauguration ceremony has also been abandoned, and life is full of ceremonial feelings. Lined up to Capitol Hill: The outgoing president accompanied the elected president to Capitol Hill to attend the inauguration ceremony and take the oath of office .
The chairs are also neatly arranged below. Those who can sit here, in addition to the celebrities in the US political circles, have prepared a lot of reporter positions from the habits left by President Roosevelt.
The Supreme Court of the Federal Government presided over this inauguration ceremony. In more peripheral areas, mass demonstrations have begun. Many people holding the national flag and wearing white robes made this inauguration ceremony different from the past.
People huddled together like dried fish in a can of sardines. They couldn't move at all. When they moved, it was as painful as pulling teeth. Five huge American flags were flying on the front of Capitol Hill. The crowds were already surging and stomping their feet to keep warm. Sheffield walked through the promenade in the sound of music and the tapping of the ladies' high heels, walked down a dozen steps, came to the outdoor East Observation Deck to sit, and continued to use her body to open the way for Anne behind him and reached herself The specified location.
The inauguration was very lively but orderly. The weather was good this year. It was a mild weather that was rare in March. It made Alton Parker very happy. Sheffield was more than him. He was no less than being a president.
"It's like seeing you and my child grow up and become a successful person." Sheffield hugged Annie's shoulders, a pair of thieves' eyes scanning everywhere, and whether there was Cinderella in the crowd, and there were always people thinking. Harm my two functions.
In fact, according to the habit, Sheffield rarely participates in activities on this occasion. He has a huge vigilance against the concept of collective. Once the civic class unites, it is about that he is almost in trouble. So liberalism is good, the people are more difficult to deal with, one person can deal with more.
As Roosevelt appeared, the crowd cheered happily, but today ’s protagonist was not him. Sheffield was ready to cheer for Alton Parker. With the appearance of the new president and vice president, the atmosphere reached its peak, dressed in white The robe crowd did not know where to take the southern cross flag and waved hard.
This caused a group of Roosevelt governments, who were about to be swept out of office, to suddenly change color. The flag of the United States of America appeared in Washington. This was a huge provocation. In the non-southern regions, the appearance of such flags is illegal, but today he appeared so decently.
As Alton Parker did not see it, he devoted himself to his inauguration ceremony and greeted his supporters. Although William Brian saw it, he did not speak.
Alton Parker put a hand on the Bible and swore, "I solemnly swear that I will faithfully carry out the presidency of the United States and do my utmost to abide by, maintain and defend the Constitution of the United States."
Sheffield, who caused all this, was very happy. Once the emperor and the courtier, if someone is dissatisfied, the next time you are elected, Anne will be somewhat worried, "Is it too much, many Yangji people will be dissatisfied. of."
"Yang Jiren's dissatisfaction with us doesn't matter when!" Sheffield turned to take a deep breath in Annie's ear, very intoxicated, "It's objective to see each other, but just change today. If we humiliate them, will this be unbearable? Ca n’t bear to die. "
In speaking time, Alton Parker ’s speech has been completed, and the parade has begun. The presidential convoy runs along Pennsylvania Avenue, accompanied by an honor guard of the three armed forces, civil organizations, military bands, and various floats.
The VIP seats, including those from Sheffield, have entered the White House and are waiting for the inaugural ball. This is when they wantonly celebrate.
