Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Chapter 276: Invisible game

After John Hinckley was hit by the card reader, the Roma rg-14 revolver in his hand fell to the ground. The nearest Alfred Antnucci was the second person to spot him. He also reacted quickly, hitting the opponent's head with a punch and dragging it to the ground. ∷4∷5∷Chinese∷text▲∴,

The agent-Dennis McCarthy immediately blocked John Hinckley, trying to avoid this person being shot to death in public like Lee Harvey Oswald, the murderer of the former President Kennedy, and ended up unprovenly.

Agent-Robert Wangko took out a Uzi submachine gun from a suitcase to provide cover for the president's rapid evacuation, while preventing potential other attacks.

This scene was carried out entirely in seconds, and Reagan's special car finally drove away smoothly.

The three wounded fell in a pool of blood, and the shock caused by it also prevented most people at the scene from returning to normal thinking.

But except for the well-known reporters, they quickly entered a state of excitement, not to mention that the equipment in their hands was continuously operating before the incident to record the president's demeanor.

Tang Huan glanced at the card reader on the ground, judging from its appearance, it turned out to be intact.

Okay, my subordinates have made Nokia-quality products, and they are not afraid of falling or touching, so I pick them up and use them as usual.

Tang Huan stepped forward and was about to bend down to pick up his card reader, but he heard the Secret Service agent remind him, "Sir. Please don't touch the items on the scene."

"This is what I threw out... well..." Tang Huan saw the warning in the opponent's eyes. He shrugged. Give up this plan.

At this time, Alfred Antnucci, who defeated John Hinckley, suddenly clutched his chest with an abnormal face.

"What's wrong with you?" Tang Huan asked when he saw this, holding on to the other party.

"I have a history of heart disease." Alfred Antnucci answered vaguely, and tremblingly reached into his pocket.

Tang Huan hurriedly helped the other party find medicine, but for a while, this old man didn't carry it with him at all.

"You'd better lie on the ground as an injured person and wait for the ambulance to come." Tang Huan reluctantly suggested.

After placing Alfred Antnucci temporarily, Tang Huan pondered. Take out the golden needle from the small backpack, use the lighter sent by Guan Zhilin to eliminate the poison, and stabbed the patient a few points, and the other party felt more comfortable.

The ambulance arrived quickly, and the four people on the ground were taken to the nearby George Washington University Hospital, while John Hinckley was taken to the District of Columbia prison pending trial by other agents.

All the scenes were filmed by multiple cameras, including footage from the three major television networks of ABC, CBS and National Broadcasting Company.

The shooting occurred at 14:27, and when Tang Huan returned to the hotel room, it was already 14:42.

After muttering "It's so exciting" in my heart. Tang Huan turned on the TV casually, and the ABC was playing the video of the incident just now. CBS and National Broadcasting Corporation rushed to report that even the cable news network, which was established less than a year ago, was not far behind. However, there was probably no camera to shoot outside the hotel at the time, so the National Broadcasting Corporation video was used.

From the assassination of Reagan, to the future Gulf War, and even farther 9/11, the cable news network that has been reporting around the clock as the most distinctive feature of the cable news network has been staged as a counterattack against Gao Fushuai, surpassing the traditional three major TV networks to become the best. The struggle of an influential news channel is great.

It can be said that CNN redefines the concept of news, from traditionally referring to "things that have happened" to "things that are happening."

In Tang Huan’s view, this model may, like the criticisms it has suffered, while pursuing timeliness, lifelikeness and presence, it dilutes the boundaries between news and entertainment, and often lacks the connection and meaning between facts. It looks like An endless sitcom.

But this kind of "superficial and trivial" may not be a major advancement. News audiences can't always be elitist. Media Asia TV should also learn from it.

While thinking about it, Tang Huan received a special call.

"Tang, you should be at the scene reported by the news." In the microphone, Bush Jr.'s voice sounded a little erratic.

"It's only a few steps away." Tang Huan replied carefully and slowly, "According to my observation, only the last of the six bullets bounced off the bulletproof armor and hit the chest. It shouldn't cause fatal damage."

"I understand, thank you." Bush hung up quickly.

The Prism Gate was not built in a day. At this sensitive moment, both parties on the call were deliberately very cautious.

Tang Huan put the microphone back, the corner of his mouth curled slightly, he was a favor from the Bush family.

According to U.S. law, the order of succession of presidents is the vice president first, then the speaker of the House of Representatives or the most senior senator of the majority party in the Senate, and then the secretary of state.

In this emergency, the current Vice President Bush Sr. is clearly on the cusp of the storm.

If he behaves too positively, and Reagan doesn't have trouble, he will become a political joke, and his relationship with Reagan will be overshadowed.

However, if you are too conservative, you will be criticized for not being responsible, and you will even lose your best opportunity to become a leader.

...

In fact, Vice President George W. Bush was not in Washington at this time.

A few days ago, he accepted a mission in which he was responsible for crisis management in an emergency and is currently in Texas.

When his staff gave advice to take a helicopter and return to Washington as soon as possible, Bush shook his head, "This does not meet the vice president's specifications."

So Bush Sr. took the "Air Force Two" step by step and returned to Washington.

...

——The White House War Situation Room is a conference room and information management center with a total area of ​​about 460 square meters located in the basement of the West Wing Office of the White House. After the failure of former President John F. Kennedy in the "Bay of Pigs Invasion" due to poor real-time intelligence communications. Ordered to be established in 1961.

Its main purpose is the National Security Council including the President of the United States, the White House Chief of Staff, the Vice President, the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, and the National Security Advisor. A workplace for quick consultation and response to emergencies in the U.S. and abroad that are related to U.S. national security.

Obviously, the assassination of President Reagan was an extremely serious emergency.

Cabinet members including Secretary of State Alexander Hager, Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberg, and National Security Advisor Richard Allen are discussing a number of important issues together in the White House's situation room.

For example, the whereabouts of the nuclear button suitcase. A group of Soviet submarines that are obviously abnormal in number than usual are approaching the Atlantic coast. The Soviet army may invade Poland again, as well as the president's succession and other issues.

Although under normal circumstances, no recording equipment is allowed in the White House's situation room, when Allen informed everyone present, he still recorded.

Soon, the nuclear button suitcase and the copy of the gold code card were placed in the situation room; while Reagan's nuclear button suitcase was still in the hospital with the officer who kept him; as for the copy of the vice president Ben, followed by Bush Sr.

Everyone follows the procedure. Discussed methodically, and the issue soon came to the succession of the president.

After learning that Reagan was undergoing surgery. Secretary of State Alexander Hager declared, “According to the Constitution, before the arrival of the Vice President, the core of power is now here, on this chair.”

Although it is known that the Secretary of State is the third candidate in the order of succession of the president, Alexander Hagrid’s statement is not in line with the constitution, but in order to avoid conflict, no one else in the White House’s situation room pointed this out to Alexander Hagrid.

At the same time, a press conference is being held in the White House Press Briefing Room.

CBS News anchor Leslie Starr asked Larry Spikes, Deputy White House spokesperson, "Who is presiding over government operations now?"

Larry Spikes gave the answer, "I can't answer this question for the time being."

After hearing this reply, Alexander Hagrid was very dissatisfied, and immediately scribbled a note to be passed on to Larry Spikes, ordering him to immediately withdraw from the podium.

After a short while, Alexander Hagrid walked into the news briefing room personally, and in response to the question just now, solemnly replied: "Gentlemen, according to the Constitution, we should proceed in the order of the President, the Vice President and the Secretary of State. And. If the President decides to transfer power to the Vice President, he will do so. But now in the White House, I am responsible for everything. Of course, I will maintain close contact with the Vice President who is still on the road, and if there is anything to deal with, I will also Will negotiate with him."

When other people in the White House's situation room heard Alexander Hagrid's domineering, "I am in charge", they couldn't help laughing.

I have to say, knowing people, knowing the face and not knowing the heart, the rivers and lakes are really deep!

In the news briefing room, Alexander Hager just said, "There is absolutely no need to take any precautions at such a time."

In the White House's situation room, Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberg raised the military's alert level.

So, when Alexander Hagrid returned to the White House situation room, he opposed it because it made him look like a liar.

Kasper Weinberg did not show any weakness, accusing Alexander Hagrid of abusing his authority and the statement that "everything is my responsibility."

Alexander Hager sarcastically suggested that those who opposed him should "read the Constitution", and said that his speech did not involve succession, and he knew the order.

Suddenly, in the White House's situation room, the battle began.

...

At 18:20, Reagan's operation ended.

...

At around 19:00, Vice President Bush Sr. arrived at the White House.

He did not use the procedures for the fourth paragraph of the 25th Amendment, that is, this paragraph allows cabinet members including the vice president to vote on whether the president can continue to serve.

...

At around 19:30, Reagan regained consciousness.

This also means that the procedures in the third paragraph of the 25th Amendment to let Bush Sr. act as president. No need to start.

...

20:20. Vice President Bush Sr. gave a televised speech to the whole country. "I can assure the people of the whole country and all other countries that are concerned that the U.S. government is now fully functioning normally. We have a complete and adequate communication system for notification throughout the day."

All signs indicate that the political situation in the United States quickly got rid of the chaos caused by this sudden incident and returned to calm.

But the folks still expressed various reactions to this incident in their own way one after another.

Needless to say, Americans gather at homes and around TV sets in shopping malls to pay attention to the development of the incident.

Among them, the superstitious mentioned the Turkomo curse; those familiar with history thought of the assassinations of John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King in the 1960s.

Newspapers that wanted to boost sales began to issue supplements. And use big headlines to attract readers.

The church also started mass.

In the financial markets, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell after the shooting.

In the entertainment field, the 53rd Oscars ceremony was postponed for one night.

In order to strictly distinguish the name of the gunman John Hinckley, ABC temporarily changed the name of the protagonist in the TV series "The Greatest American Hero" from ""-"Ralph Hinckley" Changed to ralphhanley-"Ralph Hanley".

...

Although CNN had fallen behind in filming the first scene, it continued to follow up and report on this series of events later, claiming to dig deeper for up to 48 hours, thus instantly establishing a rigorous report. reputation.

But how can there be so much content for reporters to break the news, so Tang Huan threw out the card reader, and first let the gunman John Hinkley exposed from the crowd. And pictures of Alfred Antnucci who rescued his heart attack. It was regarded as lace news as an embellishment, and even Tang Huan tried to retrieve the card reader. The helpless expression stopped by the Secret Service personnel was not let go.

"Let's see, the dignified richest man, what is thrown out?" The host made a gesture, and the TV camera gave a close-up.

"My colleague tried to interview on-site witnesses, including Tang, but Tang cautiously refused through his assistant. However, my colleague recognized that this is an electronic device that was once shown at the luncheon and can be carried out by radio frequency. Identification. A new product that has just been developed is worth thousands of dollars."

After the host concluded, the TV camera turned to Tang Huan's treatment of Alfred Antnucci, the golden needle pierced on the opponent's finger, and a drop of blood immediately oozes out.

Not only are American journalists dedicated to their work, but the technology used to capture photos is also breathtaking, and the clarity of the photos is barely noticeable.

"The audience must be curious about what he is doing? Tang should be performing witchcraft from the East to relieve the symptoms of the heart patient." At this point, the host seemed to have received some hints and quickly added: "Sorry, this It's not oriental witchcraft, but acupuncture. In California, it is a very common formal profession in the Chinese community."

...

This is what makes live news difficult to grasp. In addition to the main body of the news, trivial information will also be instilled into the audiences' heads, which tends to be overwhelming and pan-entertaining.

Tang Huan turned down the sound of the TV and sat on the sofa in thought.

When Secretary of State Alexander Hagrid could not wait to utter the phrase "I am responsible for everything" in public, his fate was already doomed and he had to pay for his instability. Even if Reagan trusted and respected him before, it would not help.

He ran for president in 1980, but lost to Reagan's Bush in the primary election. Although he later agreed to serve as Reagan's deputy, partnered in the election and finally won the election, the two are only cooperation dictated by their interests, and there may not be much trust between each other.

However, from the time Reagan was assassinated at 2:27 pm to 8:20 pm, Bush Sr., as the vice president, made a television speech to the United States nationwide, he showed sufficient political wisdom. Reagan must treat his partner differently.

The hand-selected secretary of state wanted to take office in a high-profile manner, and his former rivals kept the current president in a low-key manner.

In the invisible game, many people are destined to ups and downs in the political arena.

...

At this time, the assistant came to report that "Silicon Valley One" was ready and could return to San Francisco overnight.

Now the reporters who are inquiring about the news are flying around like flies, almost everywhere. Tang Huan is too disturbed, so naturally he has to slip away and return to his base camp.

When the Boeing 747 took off from Washington and landed in San Francisco, due to the time difference between the east and the west, the local time was similar to before. This is the wonder of nature, but it is difficult for ordinary people to appreciate.

Tang Huan went directly to the villa where Lin Qingxian lived alone, and the other party was watching the night news.

"Are you okay?" Lin Qingxian asked with concern when he found that Tang Huan rarely looked tired.

"It feels good ~ www.wuxiaspot.com~ watched a gunfight scene." Tang Huan smiled faintly, "From the first bullet hitting the news spokesperson's head to the last bullet hitting the car armor , Sparks bounced back into the president's chest, and the scene did not fall."

"Don't describe it. I saw the live video on TV. It was really terrifying." Lin Qingxian hugged Tang Huan and murmured, "If you are safe, everything will be fine."

Sniffing the faint fragrance of the beauty in his arms, Tang Huan's tight nerves finally relaxed.

Such a top historical gap is not so easy to exploit. Tang Huan naturally has to withstand great pressure, and now is the time to completely relieve him.

Seeing Tang Huanda hugged herself horizontally and walked to the bedroom impatiently, Lin Qingxia patted the panting man, and said, "You haven't taken a bath yet."

"Can't wait, my nerves have been tense today. You have to comfort me." Tang Huan gently put down Lin Qingxian, disarmed in two ways, lifted the other party's nightdress, heavily Pressed up.

Feeling a little uncomfortable, Lin Qingxian frowned slightly, but still opened herself as best as she could, tolerating and smoothing the man on her body. (To be continued...)
