The next day, the White House was crowded from the morning. At the same time, tensions under the water increased because many experts anticipated that if terrorism erupted before regime change, it would be today. Terrorism is ideological violence. It’s a propaganda made up of blood and beginnings. So the more convincing terrorists were, the more likely they were to be obsessed with iconic dates, places and characters. The White House today is a place that meets all those conditions.
Nevertheless, Cramer, the presidential elect, attended the medal ceremony on the day seven new honorary medals were born at the same time, which had never been seen before except in winter since World War II. I might not have been able to fall into this historic position.
‘Is there no threat… ’
All winter in the waiting room, I counted the changes in my senses. At least the White House won’t explode.
But I didn’t let go for a while. It was other than “Toxicity Resistance.” Although there was no chance to test it, if Toxicity Resistance confers immunity or resistance to necrotoxin, terrorism with necrotoxin can no longer stimulate winter survival senses. Talent enhancement can lead to regression of sensory correction.
But after thinking about it, I realized there was no reason to worry so much. Even if winter itself is free from toxins, if everyone else becomes an irrational cannibal, it will also be considered a threat and a crisis to winter. Whether there is a difference in intensity, sensory correction itself is not disabled.
At last, when it was winter’s turn, the medal prepared was a pair of Memorial Cross, but the ceremony was the same as the honorary medalist.
When the president introduces the winner to the audience, he usually talks about the individual winner before explaining his major. Hometown, family, life, beliefs, people, etc. However, this was the third time in winter, so the process was omitted. It would be hard to say. Who doesn’t know about winter? How I fought and saved someone was enough to fill the time required.
The president on the stage said to the audience.
“With great insight, he helped investigators secure the Necrotoxin manufacturing facility. Even if you weren’t a colonel, you would have found it eventually, but it’s important that you could save time at the edge of the road in an urgent situation. because it was a situation where a lot of people were at risk in a minute. ”
Even without winter, he would have found it. He would have been conscious of criticizing the investigative authorities. What investigators in charge of the FBI were complaining about while living mutants passed through checkpoints and necrotoxins were weaponized.
The interesting thing was that such opinions were strong in the southern region. Many residents were frightened that the rebels produced toxins in the middle of the city. As a result, the overall support for the federal government has been higher than ever, although some have accused others of failing to prevent it in advance. Residents saw the traitors as pure evil, and the state government was even more incompetent than the federal government.
It was an unprofitable change in perception for the next president.
McMillan continues.
“The commander went out into the streets and convinced the citizens to calm down and wait in a safe place until the blackout was over. After working with the military to locate the traitor, Clarissa Chadwick, he was forced into battle at the Armed Forces Fair. In the process, I killed five snipers ambushed at Union Station. This was a pretty heroic rap sheet.”
As you probably already know, I didn’t see any bored audiences during the list of locations where they engaged with the number of enemies killed, the significance of each engagement, and the names of those who were saved.
After describing the rescue of the deserted nouns and allies at the hotel Mandarin Oriental, the president emphasized that winter was an injury, and that it was a very difficult and noble fight. The winter he heard was familiar with his paradoxical nobility. I was just desperate to save Anne….
“Despite such a marvelous commitment, I cannot present the Medal of Honor to Commander in the middle of winter today. because the commander himself admitted some wrongdoing. At the Convention Center, the commander tortured a captive enemy. To find out the location of the prisoner allies. ”
With a margin, the president nods slowly.
“I know. It must be hard to convince you. The enemy stole a large number of chariots and armored cars, and our heroes had to stop their march with charcoal. What else could there be in the impetuous thirteenth of the midwives? What should you have done? It was inevitable. It is rare to say that the commander has committed a sin, and it is even rarer to say that the commander has committed a strong accusation. ”
Quietly tuned audience.
“To confess, as you have said, I wanted a colonel to deny his allegations. I wanted to say we didn’t have to carry that much. But the commander was not shaken. He reassured all his associates who were trying to convince themselves, without any wavering words. It’s wrong to do something you can’t avoid. Don’t forget that. I was very impressed to hear that. That conscience and belief that are not tied to secular honor is truly an honorable attitude. ”
Some people in the audience seem to like winter a lot, but raise their voices and applaud. I don’t know if he was serious or acting, but Kramer was one of them. For a moment, some of the cameras in the coverage focused on him. Laughter flows not at the solemn ceremony. President McMillen also had a faint smile.
“Even if you cannot award the Medal of Honor, it does not change as much as the fact that a commander is more honorable than anyone else. America knows that. So I would like to commemorate that honor as a pair of headstones. Everyone, please stand up. ”
The reeds pour out. It is very unusual to receive two crosses in one place, publicly. Since the crucifix was directly under the Medal of Honor, it was literally an honor according to the Medal of Honor.
As he placed his medal, the president said a small word while handing out a handshake.
“I was afraid I wouldn’t even take this. ”
Winter made a slightly bitter smile.
“I’m sorry to bother you. ”
The president took it as a mild joke.
“You can be proud. You’re no one else, and you’ve put the President of the United States in trouble. You could say you wielded the greatest power in the world in a single moment. ”
The award ceremony was completed to the next dinner.
Since Christmas was Sunday, the holidays, including alternative holidays, continued until Monday. Thanks to that, winter didn’t meet Anne until Tuesday. It’s because she fainted more than twenty hours after being released from work after spending the night in and out of offices and sites during the holidays worrying about terrorism.
Even the place where he slept was a break room at the FBI headquarters. It means I’m not even going home. We spoke briefly, but the four days were uncomfortable for the winter. It was hard to keep my attention from being distracted. When someone talks to me, I get worried about where it hurts from that hard stone. Winter sighed.
‘I can’t stand this…. ’
Although there were still three or four months left to relocate the troops, it did not seem to end with a few more months of troubles that had already drawn the rebellion from the day it was suppressed. It was just the repeated urge to let go of all thoughts. Let’s be selfish for once. Cheon Jong-hoon, SALHAE was just an exceptional and extreme case.
It was helpful that Anne sometimes sent photos.
“There are such moments.
The content of the text she attached.
I’m trying to remember the appearance of winter, but the appearance is unclear and frustrating. If you focus on one part, you repeat the blur of the other. No matter how messy I am, I can’t draw as clear a prize as I want. Because the basis for that clarity is you in reality.
The frustration that starts once is often solved only by looking at photographs. Otherwise, it eats away at all other ideas.
You know that too.
So it meant sending a picture.
She was right.
On January 20, Kramer became the official president of the United States.
“The president-elect, please raise your right hand and repeat after me. ”
At the inauguration ceremony, winter sat close enough to be able to hear the Supreme Court Leader’s words. The front row of the nobleman’s seat is set up right behind the stage. That’s close enough to the center to be on one screen with the President throughout the inauguration and speech. It was usually a chair that had to be given to a major benefactor, a serious ruling party, or a secretary-class official who funded a large amount of elections.
However, Kramer filled most of the election funds with his own money, didn’t have the full support of the ruling party, and didn’t notice anyone, so he sat down for the winter. After speculating so many times, I thought I’d take him there myself. Winter hides the embarrassment in front of the camera. I originally expected to be given a guard mission. But at night I have to attend the inauguration ceremony. Commander Jin will take care of it.
Kramer placed his left hand on the Bible supported by his mistress, and raised his right hand to follow the Supreme Court ruler.
“I, Edgar Alexander Kramer, do solemnly swear I will faithfully discharge the duties of the President of the United States and will do my best to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. So help me, O Lord. ”
Upon completion of the oath, the chairman shoots a blister, and the Supreme Court Director asks Kramer to shake his hand.
“Congratulations, Mr. President. Please lead this country brilliantly. ”
Kramer relaxes with a smile. The seagulls and cheers of those gathered under the stage continued for several minutes, while winter also gave a standing ovation. Otherwise, it was an unnatural atmosphere. Former President McMillen had a brief conversation with Kramer on the face of poignant antidote. It was hard to understand even in winter because of the screaming.
Kramer then stood on the stage for his inauguration speech.
“Thank you, thank you. Thank you all for coming out to celebrate the country’s new beginning in such cold weather. Because of your support, I was able to stand here now through a lot of adversity. Thank you to President McMillen and his fellow renters. Your great leadership has enabled America today. I will not waste your political legacy. ”
And he spread his hands to point to winter. Dozens of cameras changed their focus almost simultaneously.
“And a winter commander. On the day a terrible rebellion has swept through this city, I will use this life that you have saved as precious as possible until the end of time. Since I am alive because of your commitment, I will also do my best to serve my country and its citizens in accordance with your commitment. Let’s fight together. We will win together. I promise you will always have my back and the support of my citizens. ”
The cheers of the citizens boil once again. Winter smiled hard. hoping to be reflected in a dissected smile.
