Giant of the times - Chapter 517

c508 The storm is coming

The President’s worries are indeed correct. I am afraid it will be difficult for people to spend this Christmas with peace of mind…

On the evening of December 5, a scandal suddenly broke out on the WikiLeaks website.

The initial revelations were not very powerful, but they were shocking enough.

“Let me tell you, is it true? Is this a photo of the President of the United States when he was young? Is it so trendy? Damn, he is so unique. I admire you!”

“Hoho, the president is awesome. But having said that, the president had a pretty good figure when he was young!”

United States, White House.

The president had a gloomy face and sat on a purple leather sofa without saying a word.

A middle-aged man walked up to him and said: “Your Excellency, the public relations department is trying to find a way to save it? I would like to ask, that photo…”

Before he could finish speaking, the president suddenly raised his head and looked at him, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: “It’s true!”

After a pause, he continued: “When I was young, I admired art, so I took this photo, but I didn’t expect…”

The middle-aged man nodded to express his understanding.

He just didn’t expect to become the president now, so the original photo became a scandal for him.

“Your Excellency, please rest assured that we will do public relations as soon as possible to minimize the negative impact!”

“Yeah.” The president nodded, feeling very tired. Since taking office as president, there has been constant negative news, but fortunately there has been almost no negative news that really poses a threat. However, although the appearance of this photo cannot bring down the president, it will undoubtedly have a huge impact on his popularity!

Within two days, it has not been resolved. There is a new scandal about the president and the US government on the WikiLeaks website!

It’s really a wave of ups and downs!

“Your Excellency, sorry, the WikiLeaks website broke the news again?”

When the president heard this, he felt nervous and thought, there shouldn’t be another scandal…

In terms of economics, I pay great attention to it, and it should be difficult for others to take advantage of it.

Clinton’s sex scandal back then is still fresh in my mind, but I didn’t commit it myself.

Why is there another scandal?

The president asked calmly: “What’s the news?”

“Your Excellency, according to the WikiLeaks website, a person named Edward Snowden leaked secrets, saying that the National Security Agency monitors the electronic communications of all American and foreign citizens, which is our top-secret electronic surveillance program – Project Prism!”

As soon as he heard this, the president stood up suddenly, looking shocked. At this time, he already realized the seriousness of the situation!

The Prism Plan began in 2007 and has been implemented by the president.

He walked anxiously around the office, trying to suppress the matter or even hide it, but it was obvious that the matter had spread on the Internet and could not be covered up at all.

“This damn WikiLeaks website!” the president yelled through gritted teeth. The WikiLeaks website has become a thorn in the side of the president and the US government, and they want to get rid of it quickly.

The president sternly said: “Send more manpower and find a way to arrest the founder of the WikiLeaks website as soon as possible. In addition, there is also the leaker of the Prism Project. We will also arrest his secrets immediately.”

“Your Excellency, the leaker of the Prism Project has sought asylum in more than 20 countries including Russia, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. Currently, this person has gone to Russia, received warm reception from Russia, and obtained asylum from Russia. He wants to I’m afraid it will be difficult to catch him.”

The president couldn’t help but frown when he heard this.

“Your Excellency, the Prism Project has aroused public outrage. Netizens have criticized you and the US government, and various countries have also expressed condemnation.”

“Okay, I get it!” The president took a deep breath and suddenly calmed down. He turned on his computer and logged into Weibo and Facebook to see that the hot news was almost all related to the Prism Project.

“Shock! The U.S. government monitors everyone’s communication data and invades people’s privacy! 》

“The United States is the world’s biggest eavesdropper!” 》

“Is Human Rights in the United States Just a Slogan?” The Prism Project lets you know what it means to have no human rights! 》

“The Diamond Mirror Project scares the whole world!” 》

“Shocking news, there are dozens of companies involved in the Lingjing Project!” 》

…

There are so many companies participating in the Mirror Project that the U.S. government approached Li Zetian in 2007, hoping that companies under his name, such as Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Amazon, Tencent, Apple, Facebook, etc., could cooperate with them. But Li Zetian knew that “Prism Gate” would happen sooner or later, so he refused.

Once the Prism Gate occurs, it will become a stain on Li Zetian’s companies, which may have a devastating impact on business reputation, make the political neutrality of multinational companies questionable, and deepen mutual distrust in business exchanges between countries. Therefore, Li Zetian will never agree to the request of the US government!

With Li Zetian’s strength in 2007, he was fully capable of saying “no” to the US government! ! !

At this time, the “Lingjing Sect” broke out in advance, and Li Zetian was naturally behind it. Its purpose was to attack the president and the U.S. government, and secondly, to attack commercial competitors.

one stone two bird!

I have to say, the effect is obvious.

After the “Prism Gate” occurred, the credibility of the companies involved in the scheme was greatly damaged, and all stocks fell. Come to think of it, the company’s performance will definitely decline significantly in the future!

First, the suppression of Li Zetian caused another economic crisis in the United States, and then the “Prism Gate” broke out. The president’s public approval rating has dropped again and again. Many people are very dissatisfied with him and believe that he is not qualified to be the president of the United States.

Gradually, there are calls for the president to resign.

…

“Are we going to add some more exciting stuff?”

In Youran Garden, Li Zetian was leaning on the lounge chair, thinking in his mind, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Not long after, the WikiLeaks website released another video showing Iraqi civilians being indiscriminately killed by the US military during an air raid in Baghdad!

As soon as this content was announced, it immediately caused a global uproar!

There were many demonstrations across the United States, and many people held signs outside the White House to denounce the president and the US government.

On the Internet, countless people accused the US government and military.

“It’s so cruel, you simply regard life as nothing!”

“Hmph, that’s how the United States got its hegemonic status!”

“What a disappointment to the president and the US government!”

“Look what the president has done since he was elected president of the United States?!”

“Strongly demand that the president step down. If he remains in office, the United States will be destroyed by him!”

With the help of Li Zetian, a huge storm of magnitude 10 or above suddenly broke out across the United States, and the core of this storm was the President of the United States…

PS: Typing is slow and updates are slow. Many readers are short of books. You might as well read “The Emperor of Silicon Valley”, a novel written by “Baisha” before. It is the same type as “Giant of the Times”, a fast-paced business YY novel.
