Chapter 1,146 The Cursed Surname
"...We are facing the worst depression since 2008. However, our president does not seem to be aware of this, or she is aware of it, but never faces the problem. Businesses and households cannot obtain credit, pensions Money and the wallets in our pockets are shrinking day by day, wages have dropped to their lowest point since the 2008 economic crisis, and our cost of living has reached a historical peak!”
"Look at what our president has done for us. In order to make us temporarily forget the pain of being unable to pay off our credit cards, she emphasized returning to the Asia-Pacific, hyping up regional disputes, diverting domestic attention, and even did not hesitate to drag the aircraft carrier battle group to the West It slipped around the Pacific Ocean... but ended up shooting itself in the foot, almost pushing the United States from economic crisis to world war."
"Perhaps because our life is not bad enough, I heard that she is now discussing with her staff to restrict the import of medical drones as sanctions. My only suggestion is to spend more time with those cute little angels, maybe they will tomorrow You're about to be taken away by the FBI, and no more drones will fly into your windows to see you. Thankfully, we'll be back to the days of calling the doctor to make an appointment. Maybe this will save us a fortune. , after all, in that era we didn’t take medicine when we had a fever..."
On the holographic screen, a man in a suit stood in the center of the supporters, with a warm smile on his face. Unlike that extremely aggressive speech, his speaking speed was not fast, and could even be described as gentle. However, every word that came out of his mouth was as sharp as a blade.
Judging from the art of this speech alone, this Mr. Kennedy is indeed a character.
"What are you looking at?" Xia Shiyu got into bed, held her chin in her hands, and lay down next to Jiang Chen.
"Joseph Kennedy's election manifesto." Jiang Chen dragged the holographic screen with his finger and moved the screen closer to Xia Shiyu.
"Kennedy?" Xia Shiyu was stunned for a moment and asked doubtfully, "The legendary Kennedy?"
"That's right, that cursed surname in the legend." Looking at the man waving and smiling to the supporters on the holographic screen, Jiang Chen suddenly had a playful smile on his lips, "You said, if I put this Wouldn’t it be fun to have a cursed guy become president?”
"It's like you have a vote." Xia Shiyu rolled her eyes at Jiang Chen, turned her back to Jiang Chen, pouted and muttered, "You can continue reading, I'm going to sleep first."
"Hey, honey, it's not good to go to bed so early." After sending a message to the ghost agent and turning off the holographic screen, Jiang Chen stretched out his arms, turned over and hugged the smooth and delicate shoulders, looking at the The earlobes that were gradually turning red, he smiled mischievously and blew softly into her ear, "Didn't we agree? Leave the unfinished business in the bathroom to the evening to continue."
The hot red color crawled from the roots of the ears to the neck.
The sound of "wife" suddenly pierced her heart, so that her whole body softened.
Although she also knew that this word was not exclusive to her.
But at least now, even now, the only one who is intertwined with him is himself...
…
If the nightmare of long-distance travel is jet lag, then the nightmare of traveling to the moon is never knowing whether you are jet lagged or not. Of course, compared to the unusual beauty we harvested, this trouble can only be regarded as a fly in the ointment.
A day on the moon is equivalent to 27.3 Earth days, and the day and night are almost two weeks long. Looking at the sun that could not set, Jiang Chen let out a long yawn and wondered in his mind whether he should give the Star Ring Trading Colony a try.
For example, it is stipulated that all colonies in the Star Ring Trade shall uniformly use the Earth calendar and the new country's time zone to measure their years, regardless of their autobiographical revolution period. Or create a dual-track system of earth time and colonial time...
Today I have to travel a little far, and my destination is more than 100 kilometers north of Guanghan City.
After a month and a half of training on Koro Island, the new recruits of the Earth Defense Alliance have arrived on the moon on a transport ship. Half of the March training period has passed, and they will spend the remaining month and a half on the moon to receive acclimatization training to the low-gravity environment.
Although they have no weapons, these volunteers are still combatants after all, and of course they cannot be stationed in Guanghan City.
In order to house these future officers of the Earth Fleet, Star Ring Trade built a military base specifically for them as a training facility.
This military base on the moon was only completed a month ago. Currently, in addition to the 500 volunteers in this military base, there are also 1,000 Star Ring Trading reserve crew members stationed here.
The purpose of Jiang Chen's trip was, on the one hand, to say hello to the future officers of the Earth Fleet, and on the other hand, to inspect the situation of the military base.
To put it simply, it is a military parade.
The tires kicked up billowing dust. Looking at the unchanging craters outside the window, Jiang Chen couldn't help but yawn. At first, he thought the scenery on the moon was quite interesting, but now he was starting to feel bored.
Two hours have passed since departure.
Sitting next to him, Xia Shiyu, who was also tired of looking at the crater, began to wander around the car. When her eyes stopped on the thermometer on the armrest of the seat, she suddenly opened her mouth in surprise.
"It's already 90 degrees outside?"
After looking at Xia Shiyu who was making a fuss, Jiang Chen curled his lips.
"What's the point? It's not the hottest time yet. By noon, the surface temperature on the equator can reach a maximum of 127 degrees."
"So hot?!"
"Otherwise? Why do you think the buildings in Guanghan City are painted white?" Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"...I thought it was for good looks." Xia Shiyu blushed and said in a low voice, a little embarrassed, "Then if we get off the bus, we will be roasted."
The statement "roasted" made Jiang Chen almost laugh out loud.
I didn't expect that this strong woman who doesn't smile can also have such a lovely side.
"127 degrees refers to the surface temperature," Jiang Chen teased after looking at Xia Shiyu's boots, "As long as you don't lose your boots, you don't have to worry."
Of course, having said that, you still have to change out of those leather boots and put on professional equipment before going out.
The more than three-hour drive finally ended, and the lunar rover parked outside the military base.
In the locker room of the lunar rover, Jiang Chen and Xia Shiyu put on heavy spacesuits one after another. After confirming that the function was normal, under the guidance of the staff, he passed the hatch and stepped on the moon.
The moment he set foot on the moon, Xia Shiyu, who put on her spacesuit, seemed to have forgotten her identity as CEO, and was as excited as a child, jumping on the spot several times.
Looking at Xia Shiyu's back from a distance, Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile.
It's rare to see her look so unstable.
However, as the saying goes, extreme joy brings sorrow. As she was enjoying "flying" on the moon, she failed to control her strength for a moment. As a result, she tumbled in the air in a hurry, fell on her face in an awkward manner, and slid out on the ground.
Seeing Xia Shiyu's embarrassed look, Jiang Chen almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
It's not because I'm gloating about my misfortune, it's just because this fall on the ground is so... so cute.
He bent his legs and stretched out, gently floating next to her. Jiang Chen stretched out his hand to pull her up from the ground, smiling and scolding her.
"You're making a fool of yourself if you don't listen to me if I tell you to be honest."
Although Xia Shiyu's face could not be seen through the dark mask, Jiang Chen's understanding of her could guess that she must be blushing with embarrassment at the moment, biting her lower lip, wishing she could Find a crack in the ground and crawl in... (To be continued.)
