Chapter 32 Chapter 30 News Media

Because of the pervasiveness of television, they used the morning news to make their announcements.Everything comes so naturally, a new day does come, and the audience no longer has to guess.Behind the anchor hangs a brand new flag with two small gold stars on a green background (green is the traditional color of Islam).The anchor first prayed by quoting the Koran, and then turned to the main topic: a new country was born.It will be formed from the merger of the original Iran and Iraq, and will be named the United Islamic Republic.The new country will follow the Islamic principles of peace and friendship.The top issue right now is the congressional elections, which the anchor announced will be held before the end of the year.During this transition period, a revolutionary council will be formed composed of politicians from both countries, whose membership will be proportionate according to the ratio of the two countries. This undoubtedly puts Iran in a dominant position, but the anchor did not say these words.The anchor went on to say: Other countries need not be afraid that this new nation, the United Islamic Republic, will maintain friendly relations with all Muslim countries and all countries that had close relations with Iran and Iraq.However, this statement, which contains many contradictions, has not been further clarified.Although the other Persian Gulf countries are also Muslim countries, I am afraid that none of them have really been close to these two countries.Destruction of former Iraqi weapons facilities to be expedited to remove international hostility; political prisoners to be released immediately

Huh, they have more room for new political prisoners.Major Sabah was watching the show at the Palm Bowl, and it happened anyway.He didn't need to call anyone, because the whole Persian Bay was watching the show, but the only one who seemed happy was the anchor. Of course, when the scene changed to Muslims finishing their morning prayers , when they took to the streets to spread their joy, the situation was different. Hello Ali.Ren picked up the phone and replied.He had spent the night looking at the papers Martin had left behind, knowing that Ali would call.At this moment, his head hurts again. This problem seems to have started from the moment he stepped into the Oval Office.It is strange that the Saudis have only now approved their prince to make this call, perhaps they have been hoping that this situation will not happen.Yes, I am watching TV.The translation provided by the intelligence experts of the National Security Agency was displayed at the bottom of the screen. Although the wording was a bit fancy, the content was clearly transmitted to everyone in the room.Adler, Visco, and Gudre stepped into the room as soon as the TV came on. Their presence didn't take away Ryan's headache, but at least they saved him from the pile of papers.

Not too surprising, but annoying enough.said the prince over an encrypted phone. It is inevitable, Your Highness.I know how difficult this is for you.said the president wearily.He could drink coffee all the time, but he really needs to sleep tonight. Our armed forces will be on heightened alert. Need assistance?Ryan asked. For now I just want to make sure your support doesn't change. Of course, as I have said before, our commitment to the security of your kingdom remains unchanged.If you ask us to do something to show good faith, then we are happy to take any appropriate action.you

No, Mr. President.We have not yet made a formal request.Hearing the tone of the other party, Ren blinked at the people in the room. In that case, you may wish to find some people to study countermeasures with us. This is a low-key thing to do, my administration doesn't want to mess things up. We will do our best to support you.You can talk to admiral jackson, chief of operations at the joint chiefs of staff All right, Mr. President.I saw him in the East Wing.Later today, I will arrange for someone to meet with him. Well.Ali, please call whenever you need. Thanks, Jack.Hope you can sleep well.We all need a good night's sleep.The phone hung up, and Ryan pressed a button to make sure the call was on.

What countermeasure? Ali wanted our help, but the king hesitated.Adler said. They will try to establish a relationship with the United Islamic Republic as much as possible, Visco said, and they will start a dialogue with each other first, led by Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait and other small countries will agree with them to do so.We will get their news by various channels. We have a great ambassador in Kuwait, right?the president asked. Will.Baja, Adler nodded affirmatively. He is also a professional diplomat.He understands the local language and culture, has many royal friends; he is also very good at business.He can act as a good intermediary between our businessmen and the Kuwaiti government.

He also has an excellent deputy, Adler went on, and the rest of the embassy staff is top-notch, and the operators are all excellent. Very good, Bert.Ren took off his glasses, rubbed his eyes and said, tell me what will happen next? All the nations south of the Gulf will be horrified as their nightmare has finally come true. Ryan nodded, and then turned his attention to Gudre, Ben, I need the intelligence agency's assessment of the United Islamic Republic's intentions, you can call Robbie and see what countermeasures we have.Inform Tony.Brittanon; he's the Minister of Defence, and I want him to start thinking about non-administrative things in this area.

The CIA didn't get much leads, and Adler pointed out that it wasn't their fault because it just happened.Therefore, their assessment results will range from a regional nuclear war that Iran may have nuclear weapons to the end of the world. Every judgment has a valid reason.The president could, as usual, pick the wrong package, and then it would be all his own fault. I know.Scott, let's also try to see if we can establish a relationship with the United Islamic Republic. Shake hands and make peace? That's right.The President said, folks, they're going to need a while to consolidate power before they take drastic action, don't they?Everyone nodded.However, some people don't think so.

Mr President?Weske spoke. Oh Bert, good interrupt, not quite the right timing, but I'm sure you have your reasons. Thank you, Mr. President.When it comes to regime consolidation, it involves the people, doesn't it? certainly.Ren and the others nodded.Consolidating power is nothing more than getting people to adapt to a new system of governance and accept it. Ladies and gentlemen, if you have noticed the number of Iraqi populations included in this new regime, and compare this number with the populations of other Persian Gulf countries, you will find that the surprising thing is not the total population, but the population density and territory.By saying this, Visco is reminding everyone that although Saudi Arabia is larger than the entire United States east of the Mississippi River, it has a smaller population than Philadelphia.

They don't do anything yet.Adler offered a different opinion. Not really, Mr. Secretary, depending on how you define present. Iran has too many internal problems.Gudrey also spoke. Visco had grown fond of being close to the president, getting his attention, and he decided to take the floor.Their religious beliefs cannot be underestimated.He reminds everyone that it is strong enough to defuse or moderate internal problems; their flag and name speak for themselves.Everyone in the world likes a winner, and Tayelan looks like one now.And one more thing. what is it , bertAdler asked. Did you notice that flag?The two stars on the flag are very small.Visco said thoughtfully.

how?This is Gudre's voice.Ren turned his head to look at the TV and the anchor, the flag was still hanging behind the anchor. That way, there's plenty of room to add little stars. It was the moment he had dreamed of, and cheers came from outside.This is real and not just a dream anymore.Da Yelan flew here before dawn.As the sun rose, he stepped into the mosque, then took off his shoes, washed his hands, and must be clean before Allah.He humbly listened to the voice from the worship tower and prayed very devoutly.Today, people did not go home to catch up on sleep after praying as in the past. Driven by faith, people gathered from nearby areas to mosques.This moved their guest inexplicably, and the excitement overwhelmed him, and tears rolled down his dark, wrinkled cheeks.He completed the first step in his plan, realized the wish of the Prophet Muhammad, and maintained the unity of religion, which was the first step in his divine quest.After the prayer, in the silence, he got up and went out into the street, which frightened his security guards, where he would be recognized.He walked along the street and greeted passers-by from time to time.When the people saw that the man who had been an enemy was now walking with them as a distinguished guest, they froze for a moment and then became ecstatic.

There is no camera to record all this, and the streets are not as bustling at the moment.Despite the danger, he kept on walking.He understands how powerful his religion and what people believe in it can be, and he can verify that his pursuits are blessed by Allah, because Tajran is a truly humble man, and everything he does is for the sake of Allah.In no time, the sidewalk was crowded with people whom he had never met, who volunteered to act as his protectors and make a way for him.His aged feet moved forward amid the cheers of the crowd, and his now serene black eyes swiveled from side to side, searching for danger.However, all he saw was people jumping and laughing.He stared at the crowd and waved to them, like a grandfather greeting his grandchildren, without a smile, but calmly accepting everyone's respect and love.Behind his benevolent gaze was a great move, for the pursuit was on and he seized the moment. Oh, what kind of man is he?asked the movie star.After leaving Frankfurt, he traveled to Athens and Beirut, from where he flew to Tehran.He only knew that Da Yelan was very famous. He knows power.Bed'an replied after listening to the movement of the crowd outside.It was a peaceful movement, he could imagine it.Iraq and Iran have fought wars for nearly ten years, causing cities to be destroyed and people killed. The losses are immeasurable.While that war has been over for years, it is now the real end.He himself was happy with such an ending, but now he understands that using that feeling will be a sharp weapon in governing the country.Those outside who, not so long ago, were dissatisfied with their country, questioned the intelligence of their leaders, outraged at the curtailment of liberty, are now quiet.How long will this continue?This is unknown.So it is necessary to make full use of this time, and Da Yelan is very aware of all this. How about it, Bedian closed the window to cut off the noise outside, what did you find? I see a lot of interesting things on TV.Ryan did a good job, but he had his problems.The government is not yet fully functioning and their House of Representatives elections are not until next month.Ryan is very popular.Americans like to conduct opinion polls and announce what is in everyone's mind. How is the result?Bedian asked. The vast majority seem to agree with what he's doing so far.Well, he didn't really do anything, he didn't even get a vice president. Why?Beidean knew about this, but he didn't know why. The movie star smiled, and I've wondered once myself.This matter must be approved by Congress, but Congress has not yet been reorganized, and it will take some time.Besides, the former Vice President Kirti's problem has not yet been resolved. He claims that he is the President of the United States, but Ryan has not arrested him yet. Their laws are really not very good at dealing with treason. If we can get rid of Ryan? The movie star shook his head, it was too difficult.I spent the whole afternoon in Washington, the security measures in the White House are very tight.Not only is the White House no longer open to the public, but even the street across the street is closed.I sat on the bench there for an hour, reading the newspaper and scouting the surrounding situation. There were gunmen on the surrounding buildings.I thought we could do it when Ryan was visiting, but that would require careful planning and we didn't have the time.So, I had to Hit his kids.Bedian continued. Alas, I won't see them again today, Ryan thought.Escorted by Raman, Ren stepped out of the elevator. He looked at his watch, and it was past midnight.Damn it!He had sat down to dinner with Kathy and the children before hurrying back downstairs to work, but they were all asleep now. The upstairs corridor was too large and deserted for a close family.Three operators came into view. To paraphrase them, this is called standing guard.Because it was late at night, the surroundings were silent, giving people a gloomy and uninhabited feeling.Everything is orderly, neat and clean, and there are always people around to watch over.Laman exchanged glances with several operators, and they nodded to indicate that everything was normal.No one around with a gun, Wren thought, good. The distance between the bedrooms is a bit far.He turned left and went first to Katie's room.As soon as he opened the door, he caught a glimpse of his little daughter, still in her child's pajamas, lying on her side on the bed next to a brown stuffed teddy bear.Ren went to the bed and looked at it for a while, and the pride of being a father suddenly rose in his heart.He looked around the room, and it was another overly tidy room, everything was tidied up, and there was no mess on the floor.The clothes the child will wear the next day are neatly arranged on wooden hangers, and even the white socks are folded neatly next to the little sneakers with cartoon animals on them. Ordinary people don't live like this, only royal families and presidential families do.Ren shook his head with a smile and left the room.Operator Laman closed the door for him, even refusing to let him do such a thing by himself.Ren is sure that somewhere in this building, there must be an electronic device monitoring all this. He poked his head into Sally's room, where his eldest daughter was also asleep.She must have dreamed about the boy in the class again, Kenny?A cool guy.Little Jack had a comic book lying on the floor, making the room a little untidy, but his white shirt was well ironed on a hanger and his shoes were shiny. Another day passed.The President turned to his guards and said: Good night, Jeff. Good night, sir.Raman answered from the door of the master bedroom, and Ryan nodded his goodbyes.Raman waited until the door of the president's bedroom was closed, then looked left and right at the other guard operators.He touched the pistol under his clothes with his right hand, and couldn't help laughing when he thought that things went so smoothly.Laman was leading the shift tonight. He walked to the corridor, nodded to the guards, asked an unimportant question, then took the elevator down to the first floor, went outside to breathe fresh air, and stretch his body.He looked around at the guards standing guard, there was also silence, there were some protesters in the park across the street, all huddled together at this time; in the distance, there were only the sound of cars and the faint sound of sirens from afar.Those at the posts were talking a lot of ball games to keep themselves awake, but their eyes were looking out, searching for danger lurking in the darkness.Wrong place, thought Raman, and turned to head for the command post. Can they be kidnapped? The two big ones are impossible, the difficulty is too high, but the smallest one is still possible.This kind of thing is fraught with danger and comes with a price.movie star reminded. Beide'an nodded and agreed to select particularly reliable personnel.Tayelan has such a manpower, as is evident from his influence in Iraq.He looked at the chart in silence while his guests stood at the windows watching.The crowd outside is yelling that America should be damned; the crowd, and the people leading it, seem to be experienced in such actions. What is the specific task?asked the movie star. The main purpose of this operation is to prevent the United States from interfering with us.Bedian raised his head and said.Here we refer to those people identified by Da Yelan. Moody noticed a total of nine people.He did the antibody tests himself, three times for each of them, and they came back positive every time.All nine were infected.To be on the safe side, he asked them to take medicine and told them that there was nothing serious about them until it was determined whether the power of the virus would not be affected after it multiplied.Most of them were given morphine, and it was best to keep them quiet and numb.First Benedict, then Jane.Sister Baptiste, then ten criminals, and now nine more, for a total of twenty-two victims if Sister Maria is included.He didn't know Jane.Would Baptiste still pray for him in heaven; he shook his head. Dr. McGregor thought of Shaheel as he went through the medical records. She was ill but stable.Her fever was down a full degree, with only occasional alarming symptoms.He initially suspected it was jet lag, then had vomiting and blood in the stool, but now it's stopped Is it food poisoning?It looks a lot like symptoms of food poisoning.It could be spoiled meat, or something that shouldn't be eaten, which is common, especially in Khartoum.However, Shahaile, like Sailor, is from Iraq.He did another antibody test for Seiler, and it was confirmed that it was a virus infection.The bodyguard is seriously ill and unless his immune system recovers on its own, McGregor remembered with astonishment that children's immunity was much stronger than that of adults.Although children can catch sickness and high fever within a few hours, after being attacked by each germ, their immune system fights back, producing various antibodies, making them permanently immune to certain diseases.Whenever it reappears, the child's antibodies nearly beat it back.That's why children can play outside the day after a fever passes.The so-called childhood diseases refer to diseases that are defeated in childhood.Mumps can debilitate a strong man, smallpox can kill a grown man, and measles has once wiped out entire races.Why?Because children, though seemingly fragile, are the most difficult living organisms to deal with.He searched for relevant information in his mind Seiler is from Iraq. Shahele is also from Iraq. Shahaile contracted the Ebola virus. Shahei has flu symptoms, or food poisoning symptoms, or However, the initial symptoms of Ebola virus are like influenza gosh.McGregor gasped.He stood up and walked towards Shahaile's ward.On the way he took a syringe and some vacuum tubes.The child was about to cry as soon as the injection was given, but McGregor gave the injection very well, and the injection was gone before she was about to cry.The child is looked after by her mother, who sleeps there at night. Why didn't she do this test before?The young doctor was very angry with himself, damn it! They haven't officially arrived yet.The Ministry of Foreign Affairs official said to the official of the Health Bureau, what went wrong? He appears to have contracted the Ebola virus.This sentence caught the attention of the other party.The Foreign Office official blinked and leaned across the table. you sure? certainly.The Sudanese doctor nodded firmly. I read the test data and the British doctor in charge is Ian.McGregor, is a very good doctor. Does anyone else know? No.The doctor shook his head affirmatively, there is no need to panic, the patient has been completely isolated, and the hospital knows what to do.We should report to the UN World Health Organization and inform them about this Are you sure the disease won't spread? No, as I said, it has been quarantined.Ebola is dangerous, but we know what to do about it.The doctor answered confidently. So why notify the World Health Organization? They will send a medical team to inspect the situation, give guidance, and search for the source of this infectious disease, so that Didn't Seiler get infected here? of course not.If we have a situation here, I'll know right away.He assured him. So there is no danger of the disease spreading or endangering the health of our people? That's right. I see.The official turned and looked out the window.The matter of the former Iraqi military officer's coming to Sudan must still be kept secret, and such matters concerning his national interests must not be leaked out.He turned around, you should not report this matter to the World Health Organization.If everyone knows that this Iraqi is in our country, it will cause us diplomatic trouble. That's right.But McGregor is still young and full of ideals You go and tell him that if he objects, I'll get someone to talk to him.said the official, raising his eyebrows.Such warnings are effective immediately. OK, I'll do as you say. Is there hope for Seiler? I'm afraid it won't work.The mortality rate of this disease is 80%, besides, his condition is deteriorating rapidly now. Do you know how he got sick? do not know.He said that he had never been to Africa before, this kind of person usually cannot tell the truth, I will talk to him further. very good. The president scouts a conservative for the Supreme Court, read the headline of a story.The White House staff stayed up all night. While people were still sleeping soundly, the White House staff quickly browsed various newspapers, found reports that the government was particularly interested in, cut them out and printed them into "Morning Bird", which is a book for those in power to understand Informal publication of developments. Here's a leaked report.One of them used scissors to cut the article out of the Washington Post as he spoke. This one seems to be too.It appears the word has spread.Her colleagues agreed after seeing the New York Times report. An internal Justice Department document lists nine possible nominees for the Rennes government to fill vacancies on the federal Supreme Court. Every jurisprudence named on the list is a senior High Court judge.The list is fairly conservative, and none of the nominees hail from past Fowler or Dooling administrations. Usually such nominations are first submitted to the American Bar Association for discussion, but this time the list was made by Criminal Secretary and career prosecutor Pat.Martin's supervision, drawn up by senior officials of the Department of Justice. The press doesn't like this. Don't you think it's bad?Check out this editorial.Wow, how fast they responded to this too. I've got to report it, McGregor said, and that's what we should do. No need, the health bureau official told him that it was not necessary.You put the right controls in place from the start and the medical staff are very dedicated Ian, all thanks to your training.He added this sentence to lighten the mood.If this matter gets out, it will cause inconvenience to our country.I have talked with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the news cannot be leaked.Do you understand it? But If you insist on your own way, we will ask you to leave our country. McGregor's face was flushed, and this bastard in front of him was really going to call the police to tell him to go away.What will happen to those patients if he is gone?The official knew how to catch his weakness.McGregor is young and dedicated, taking care of patients carefully with the professional ethics of a doctor, and will not easily leave them alone in this place where resources are scarce. How is Seiler? I'm afraid I won't survive. It's unfortunate, but it's also impossible.Do you know how he contracted this disease? The young doctor's face turned red again.Don't know, but it's important. Then I'll ask the patient myself. It's not easy talking to a patient three meters away, McGregor thought, but he had other things to think about. Shahaile's antibody test was also positive, but the little girl is gradually improving, her body temperature has dropped by half a degree, the bleeding has disappeared, and her lung function has become normal.He was sure she would survive.She contracted Ebola and somehow beat it and he couldn't understand why.He thought that Shahaile and Sailor might be infected through the same way, no, it's not quite the same.Although children's immunity is strong, it is not as good as that of healthy adults.But Sailor's life is dying now, but Shahaile shows signs of survival, why is that? Are there other factors?Can Shahei be transmitted to other people?If he wanted to understand the cause and effect of all this, he must continue with his present work.Maybe later he'll talk things out, but for now he has to stay and get the job done. Besides, he had sent blood samples to the Pasteur Institute and the Centers for Disease Control.Regarding this, the airy bureaucrat in front of him didn't know about it, and if there was a call, he would call the hospital directly to find him.When the time comes, he can tell them everything, but first he must surrender. With all due respect, he said to the official, because you have to follow the necessary procedures.
