Rebirth of the Tech Madman

After John Hinckley was hit by the card reader, the Rohm rg-14 revolver in his hand fell to the ground. Alfred Antonucci, who was closest to him, was the second person who found him. He also responded quickly, hitting the opponent's head with a punch and dragging him to the ground. ∷four ∷five ∷Chinese ∷Chinese ▲∴,

The agent - Dennis McCarthy immediately blocked John Hinckley, trying to prevent him from being shot dead in public like Lee Harvey Oswald, the murderer of former President Kennedy, and ended up with no evidence.

The agent, Robert Wankle, removed an Uzi from a suitcase to provide cover for the President's swift evacuation while preventing potential other attacks.

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

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

Except for the well-informed reporters, they quickly entered a state of excitement, not to mention that before the incident, the equipment in their hands was running non-stop in order to record the president's demeanor of being close to the people.

Tang Huan glanced at the card reader on the ground, judging from the appearance, it was intact.

Okay, my subordinates actually made Nokia-quality products, which are not afraid of falling or touching, and can be picked up as usual.

Tang Huan stepped forward and was about to bend down to pick up his card reader when he heard a reminder from the Secret Service, Sir, please don't touch the items at the scene.

This is something I threw out...well... Tang Huan saw the warning in the other party's eyes. Then shrugged. Abandoned this plan.

At this time, Alfred Antonucci, who had defeated John Hinckley, suddenly covered his chest with an abnormal expression.

What's wrong with you? Seeing this, Tang Huan asked while supporting the other party.

I have a history of heart disease. Alfred Antonucci answered vaguely, putting his trembling hand into his pocket.

Tang Huan hurriedly helped the other party find the medicine, but he was too busy for a while, and this old man didn't bring it with him at all.

You'd better lie on the ground and wait for the ambulance to come. Tang Huan suggested helplessly.

After temporarily setting up Alfred Antonucci, Tang Huan pondered for a while. He took out the gold needle from the small backpack, sterilized the poison with the lighter Guan Zhilin gave, and pricked the patient's acupuncture points, and the patient felt better.

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

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

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

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 NBC scrambled for coverage, and even CNN, which was less than a year old, was not far behind, though it probably didn't have footage outside the hotel at the time, so it used NBC footage.

From Reagan's assassination, to the Gulf War in the future, and even further to 9/11, the cable news network has always regarded its round-the-clock reporting as its most distinctive feature. The struggle of an influential news channel.

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 be just like the criticisms it has suffered. While pursuing timeliness, verisimilitude and presence, it has diluted the boundaries between news and entertainment, and often lacks the connection and meaning between facts. Endless sitcoms.

But this kind of superficial and trivial is not a major improvement. The news audience cannot always be elite, and Media Asia TV should also learn from it.

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

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

It's only a few steps away. Tang Huan replied slowly and carefully, According to my observation, among the six bullets, only the last bullet was rebounded by the bulletproof armor and hit the chest. It should not cause fatal injuries.

I see, thank you. Bush Jr. quickly hung up the phone.

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

Tang Huan put the microphone back, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, as if he had given the Bush family a favor.

Under U.S. law, the order of presidential succession goes from the vice president, then the speaker of the House of Representatives or the most senior senator from the majority party in the Senate, and then the secretary of state.

In this sudden incident, the current Vice President Bush Sr. is obviously on the cusp.

If he was too aggressive and Reagan was fine, he became a political laughingstock and his relationship with Reagan was clouded.

But if you are too conservative, you will be criticized for not taking responsibility, and even lose the best chance to be in charge.

...

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

He was in Texas a few days ago after accepting a crisis management assignment from him in an emergency.

When the aide suggested to take a helicopter directly 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 Situation Room of the White House is a meeting room and intelligence management center located in the basement of the West Wing of the White House with a total area of ​​about 460 square meters. After the failure of the Bay of Pigs Invasion by former President John Kennedy due to poor real-time intelligence communication. Ordered to establish in 1961.

Its main use is by the National Security Council including the President of the United States, White House Chief of Staff, Vice President, Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, National Security Advisor, etc. A workplace for rapid consultation and response to emergencies in the United States and abroad that concern the national security of the United States.

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

Cabinet members including Secretary of State Alexander Hague, Secretary of Defense Casper Weinberg, and National Security Advisor Richard Allen are discussing several important issues in the Situation Room of the White House.

For example, the whereabouts of the nuclear button suitcase. A group of Soviet submarines, which are obviously abnormal in number compared to usual, is approaching the Atlantic coast, the Soviet army may invade Poland again, and issues such as presidential succession.

Although under normal circumstances, no recording equipment is allowed in the White House Situation Room, but when Allen informed everyone present, he still made a recording.

Soon, copies of the nuclear button suitcase and the gold code card were placed in the war room; while Reagan's nuclear button suitcase was still in the hospital with the officer who kept him; Ben, on the other hand, followed Bush Sr.

Everyone followed the procedure. Discussed in an orderly manner, the topic soon turned to the succession of the president.

After learning that Reagan was undergoing surgery. Secretary of State Alexander Hager declared, Under the Constitution, before the arrival of the Vice President, the seat of power is now here, in this chair.

Although they knew that the secretary of state was the third candidate in the presidential succession order, Alexander Hager's statement was not in line with the constitution, but in order to avoid conflicts, no one else in the White House Situation Room pointed this out to Alexander Hager.

Meanwhile, a press conference is being held in the White House Press Briefing Room.

CBS News anchor Leslie Starr asked Deputy White House Press Secretary Larry Spikes, Who's running the government right now?

Larry Spikes had the answer, I can't answer that right now.

After hearing this reply, Alexander Hagrid was very dissatisfied. He immediately wrote a note and sent it to Larry Spikes, ordering him to leave the podium immediately.

After a while, Alexander Hager walked into the briefing room in person, and solemnly answered the question just now: Gentlemen, according to the Constitution, we should proceed in the order of the President, Vice President and Secretary of State. And If the President decides to transfer power to the Vice President, he will. But now in the White House, I am in charge of everything. Of course, I will be in close contact with the Vice President who is still on the road. If there is something to take care of, I will also We will negotiate with him.

When other people in the Situation Room of the White House heard Alexander Hagrid domineeringly say I'm in charge of everything, they couldn't help laughing.

I have to say, knowing people and faces but not knowing the heart, the water in the rivers and lakes is so deep!

In the press briefing room, Alexander Haig just said, There is absolutely no need to take any precautionary measures at such a time.

In the Situation Room of the White House, Secretary of Defense Casper Weinberg raised the alert level of the military.

So, when Alexander Hagrid returned to the White House Situation Room, he objected to it because it made him look like a liar.

Casper Weinberg did not show weakness, accusing Alexander Haig of abusing his authority, and his I'm in charge statement.

Alexander Haig sarcastically advised his opponents to read the Constitution, saying his speech did not deal with succession, which he knew was in order.

All of a sudden, in the Situation Room of the White House, a war of confrontation began.

...

At 18:20, Reagan's operation ended.

...

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

He did not activate the procedure of Section 4 of the Twenty-fifth Amendment, which 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 procedure in the third paragraph of the Twenty-fifth Amendment that allows Bush Sr. to act as the presidency. No need to start.

...

20:20. Vice President Bush Sr. made a televised address to the nation. I can assure the people of the country, and any other country that is concerned, that the U.S. government is now fully operational. We have a sound and adequate communication system to report around the clock.

There are various indications that the political situation in the United States has quickly emerged from the chaos caused by this sudden incident and returned to calm.

However, the folks are still expressing various reactions to this matter in their own ways one after another.

Needless to say, Americans gathered around TVs at home and in shopping malls to watch events unfold.

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

Newspapers that wanted to increase sales began printing supplements. And use big headlines to attract readers.

Churches also began to hold Mass.

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

In entertainment, the 53rd Academy Awards ceremony was postponed for one night.

In order to strictly distinguish it from 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 Change to ralphhanley - Ralph Hanley.

...

Although CNN was lagging behind in the first on-site shooting and video recording, it continued to follow up and report on this series of incidents later, claiming to dig deeper for as long as 48 hours. reputation.

But how could there be so much content for reporters to break the news, so Tang Huan threw out the card reader, and the gunman John Hinckley was first exposed from the crowd. And the live photos of him resuscitating Alfred Antonucci who had a heart attack. It was treated as lace news for embellishment, and even Tang Huan tried to retrieve the card reader. He didn't let go of the helpless expression of being stopped by the secret service personnel.

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

My colleagues tried to interview witnesses including Tang, but Tang cautiously refused through his assistant. However, my colleagues recognized that this was an electronic device that had been demonstrated at the luncheon, which could conduct radio frequency Identification. A new product that has just been developed and is worth thousands of dollars.

After the host finished summarizing, the TV camera turned to the scene where Tang Huan rescued Alfred Antenucci, a golden needle pricked his finger, and a drop of blood oozed out immediately.

The journalists in the United States are not only dedicated to their work, but also their capture techniques are amazing, and the clarity of the photos is so clear.

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 Not Eastern witchcraft, but acupuncture. In California, it’s a very common formal occupation in the Chinese community.”

...

This is where live news is difficult to grasp. In addition to the main body of the news, trivial information will also be instilled into the heads of the audience.

Tang Huan turned down the volume of the TV, sat on the sofa and fell into thinking.

When Secretary of State Alexander Hager couldn't wait to say the phrase I'm responsible for everything in public, his fate was already doomed, and he had to pay for his instability, even if Reagan had trusted and valued him before.

Bush, who ran for president in 1980 but lost to Ronald Reagan in the primary. Although he later agreed to serve as Reagan's deputy, partnered in the election and won the final victory, but the two were just cooperating out of interests, and there might not be much trust between them.

However, during the period from Reagan's assassination at 2:27 p.m. to 8:20 p.m., when Bush Sr. made a televised address to the nation as vice president, he showed sufficient political wisdom. Reagan must have looked differently at his partner.

The hand-picked secretary of state wants to take office in a high-profile way, and the former opponents in the election quietly defend the incumbent president.

In the invisible game, many people are destined to have 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 were inquiring about the news were buzzing around like flies, almost pervasive. Tang Huan was so disturbed that he had to run away quickly 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 almost the same as 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 Qingxia lived alone, and the other party was watching the night news.

Are you okay? Lin Qingxia asked with concern, noticing Tang Huan's rare look of exhaustion.

It feels good, I watched a shootout scene. Tang Huan smiled lightly, From the first bullet hitting the press spokesman's head to the last bullet hitting the armor of the car, sparks bounced back and forth. Shot the president in the chest, and the scene didn't end.

Don't describe it, I saw the live video on TV, it was really scary. Lin Qingxia hugged Tang Huan, and murmured, Everything will be fine if you are safe.

Smelling the faint scent of the beauty in his arms, Tang Huan's tense nerves finally relaxed.

It is not so easy to take advantage of such a top-level historical loophole. Tang Huan will naturally be under great pressure, and now it is time to completely relieve it.

Seeing Tang Huan hugging herself and walking towards the bedroom impatiently, Lin Qingxia patted the panting man, and said coquettishly, You haven't taken a shower yet.

I can't wait, my nerves have been tense today, you have to comfort me. Tang Huan gently put down Lin Qingxia, disarmed Lin Qingxia three times and five times, lifted the other party's nightdress, and heavily Pressed up.

Feeling a little uncomfortable, Lin Qingxia frowned slightly, but still opened herself up as much as she could, tolerant and lubricating the man on her body. (To be continued..)
