Chapter 323 On-site assembly line
Looking at the colonel saluting him, Mr. Mario Cuomo felt that this was more refreshing than eating 10 donuts in a row.
You have to know that as the governor of New York State, he has reviewed his state's National Guard only a few times.
This is almost a routine, except for huge southern states like Texas, there are almost no governors of small northern states.
Willing to pay too much attention to its own National Guard because those troops are not only small in number but also of shockingly low quality.
The more crucial point is that there was no media exposure at all, unlike those southern states that were clamoring for a civil war every day.
The northern states, like those in the Rust Belt, simply do not have the financial resources to support the National Guard.
Either the people in the state have no interest in the National Guard at all, or the lack of topicality makes it impossible to attract public attention.
To the extent that no previous New York governor had ever done this in front of the Capitol Square.
Under the cameras of journalists around the world, orders were issued to an entire full-strength regiment of the National Guard.
Countless camera lights flashed non-stop, making Mr. Mario Cuomo standing on the stage feel like the president of the federation.
Reviewing the U.S. military honor guard, no man can resist this feeling.
But even though he was extremely happy, he still maintained the composure of a senior politician, smiled and saluted the colonel.
He responded with a serious expression.
"U.S. Army First Infantry Division, Third Special Ranger Battalion, Sergeant 3rd Class Mali reports to you."
"Colonel, I don't think I'm qualified to give you orders. The documents you need are in that gentleman's hands."
Mr. Mario Cuomo's answer was very clever. He immediately revealed the unit number in which he had served.
To prove that he had served in the US military, he demonstrated his loyalty to the country in front of the global media.
At the same time, he cleverly took advantage of the fact that he was just a third-class non-commissioned officer and had no chance of issuing orders to a colonel.
Avoiding the embarrassing situation that would make Washington, he kicked the ball directly to Karl.
Carl also understood what he meant, and walked over quickly and handed over the order signed by the federal president and the governor.
The colonel took the order, glanced at it, then tapped his heels and saluted the two men again.
Then he picked up the walkie-talkie he was carrying and gave a loud and powerful command:
"The documents have been confirmed. Everyone has implemented the "Halo" plan. Heavy machinery has entered the scene."
After the order was issued, those who went out of the venue only felt the ground shaking, and then a number of strange-shaped heavy machinery drove directly into the square.
Some of these machines began to assist the Marines in moving containers of different colors.
Some are even stranger. They place solid steel pipes around and then build them into square structures.
The construction speed is very fast, just like an expert is building Lego toys.
In less than half an hour, a rectangular steel structure covering almost 2/3 of the square was built.
It stood like this on the square, and then with the help of heavy machinery, pieces of insulation boards and anti-peeping glass were installed.
Numerous panels began to be firmly fixed in the gaps of the frames, and the roar of the machinery made the cheap stage tremble.
Everyone present was stunned, looking at the bizarre scene before them, regardless of whether they were ordinary audience members who were lucky enough to be invited.
Even those well-informed reporters seemed to have no idea what was happening before their eyes.
Until an old man who looked drunk pointed at the construction site in front of him and said with a trifling tone.
"What are you doing? Isn't it said to be high-tech? Why does it look like the same job I did when I built a factory in South Carolina?"
"Why, even a place as rich as New York State has sold its state capitol building and started operating factories instead?"
"It's better this way, so that you vampires don't have to do things we don't understand and ruin our pensions and our jobs."
At first, everyone thought it was just the crazy talk of a drunkard, but as the building was wrapped up.
There were more and more mechanical sounds, and the reporters could no longer bear it. Some of them even tied loudspeakers to their waists.
Risking being shot, he climbed up the metal flagpole standing nearby and waited until he was at the right height to be able to see the stage.
Shouted desperately into the microphone.
"Mr. Hohenzollern, please tell me whether this is a small factory or not, and what exactly do you want to do by doing this?"
"Do we need to order the sniper to shoot it down?"
The captain of the Secret Service nearby asked Mr. Mario Cuomo.
Mr. Mario Cuomo smiled and waved his hand.
"Don't be nervous, young man. We are no longer the protagonists of this drama. We can't steal the limelight from the protagonists."
"Just watch that person's performance with peace of mind. Aren't you curious about what the other person is doing?"
As he spoke, he looked at Carl who was standing in front of him. As expected, he was this incredibly handsome young man.
He walked slowly to the microphone in the center of the stage, considerately turned down the volume, and then spoke without reservation.
"Congratulations, sir. You guessed it right. I am proud of your bravery. Please wait until you get down."
"With the help of the staff, register your name and you will receive a special gift."
"As for what it is, there's no need to keep you in suspense. It's the phone that Mr. Harvey gave away earlier."
As he spoke, Carl signaled to the reporters who were lying on the flagpole like monkeys to come down.
After they landed safely, he slowly turned up the volume, then opened his arms again and spoke with great enthusiasm.
"Compared to those bats in the laboratory that have never seen the sun, what I am showing you today is President Clinton."
"We will present to audiences across the U.S. the economic priorities and global integration that we have emphasized in previous speeches."
"What is true globalization, what is true industrial technology, we are not living in the same way as we were 50 years ago"
“78 hours is enough to dispatch complex production parts from all over the world to any place on the earth.”
As he said this, he looked at his watch again and pointed to the time on it.
"One hour, twenty-nine minutes and thirty-one seconds. With sufficient support from zero lines, we can create a complete industrial line."
"Ladies and gentlemen, let us fight back against those conspiracy lies with the most direct and effective means."
"I will produce 1000 specially numbered founder phones here, in cooperation with my company's employees."
"To those righteous people who still insisted on not selling their stocks during this man-made stock market crash."
"Let's stay tuned."
