The unparalleled talent of the country started from Harbin Institute of Technology

June 1992, London, Great Britain.

On the Oxford University campus, there is a castle-like building, which is the teaching building of the Physics Department.

Professor Eberhard, sitting in his office, looked stern, then angrily said:

"Absurd! Utter nonsense! My God, this yellow monkey knows nothing, yet dares to spout such grandiose words?"

The young man sitting opposite Eberhard was his student Davidson, who echoed his teacher's words:
"Yes, teacher, I agree with your point of view, but this Professor Wang from Harbin Institute of Technology has a very high international reputation, and many people know that he invested in and built an astronomical telescope several years ago."

"Therefore, the experimental data he presented at the end of the paper should all be genuine."

"I've already given the paper to my classmates at Cambridge, and they'll help verify the data in it."

Upon hearing this, Eberhard was speechless.

No matter how angry he was, it was no use.

Wang Duoyu's paper proposes the concepts of dark matter and dark energy, and also provides detailed experimental data to support them.

To be honest, the outside world was really surprised.

A significant portion of the physics community believes that Wang Duoyu is merely seeking attention, especially the physics professors attending the Geneva conference.

They believed that Wang Duoyu was getting anxious.

No sooner had he refused to let Wang Duoyu participate in the large particle collider project in Geneva than he hurriedly wrote this paper.

Haha, you're in too much of a hurry!

Isn't it just about increasing his influence in the physics community?

But physics and mathematics are completely different concepts; they are not the same at all.

Another group of professors and experts in the physics community maintain a neutral stance, as they do not study astrophysics or cosmology.

However, Yang Zhenning, Li Zhengdao, Wu Jianxiong, and others were busy carefully reviewing Wang Duoyu's paper, hoping to be of help.

In the mathematics community, many people believe that Wang Duoyu is neglecting his duties and has become degenerate.

Why do you say that?

There is a hierarchy of contempt in the scientific community, and mathematics is at the top of that hierarchy.

Despite the saying that top physicists are also top mathematicians, such as Yang Zhenning, Wu Jianxiong, and Li Zhengdao, their mathematical abilities are not bad.

But Yang Zhenning also has a mathematical assistant: Mills!
Furthermore, mathematics is the foundation of all disciplines; it is the ultimate key to humanity's study of the universe, not physics.

Therefore, it is astonishing that Wang Duoyu, the "Emperor of Mathematics," would go and study astrophysics, publish such a paper, and this is especially true at the crucial moment when the Hodge conjecture proof paper presentation is scheduled for September of this year.

What is this if not self-degradation?
Whether in the mathematics or physics community, the entire scientific community is now in an uproar because of Wang Duoyu's paper.

Even regular media outlets jumped on the bandwagon.

Many media outlets around the world are popularizing this paper, and even some TV stations, always eager for a good spectacle, have invited experts and professors to sit in on their programs to discuss it.

Because whether it's dark matter or dark energy, these things are unknown.

Humans are naturally curious about the unknown.

Inside a villa on the island in the lake at Harbin Institute of Technology, in the Ice City.

"Dad, does dark energy really exist in our universe? Will it affect our lives?"

During the meal, the eldest brother, Wang Junhong, suddenly asked a question.

After finishing his work, Wang Duoyu packed his bags and returned to Harbin two days ago.

Having been away from home for a month, he missed Liu Xiaoli and the children very much, so for the past two days he has done nothing but fish and spend time with the children.

But now, even his son is paying attention to dark energy, which shows just how popular and outrageous his paper really was.

Even the scientific community doesn't understand this thing, so why are ordinary people so concerned about it?

"To say there is absolutely no impact would not be entirely true, but as for what impact it might have, we haven't fully understood it yet."

Wang Duoyu laughed:
"If you're interested, you can study it on your own when you grow up, but I don't recommend you study dark energy."

"Dad, why?"

"Because our current technology simply cannot understand the properties and characteristics of dark energy, let alone anything else."

In fact, even building a large particle collider is so difficult, let alone anything else.

A supernova is a stellar explosion, and only at this time can the redshift of luminosity be observed.

If we want to study dark energy, we must start from this aspect, but what kind of equipment is needed to complete such research?

Large particle colliders are only used to study particles.

So what kind of equipment is needed to simulate a supernova?

But if humanity has already been able to develop such a device, it probably would have been able to travel between stars long ago, right?

After a supernova, it may form a neutron star, a black hole, or completely disintegrate.

If it's a black hole, does that mean we've returned to the starting point?
Is it possible to calculate the singularity inside a black hole?
When Wang Duoyu was proving the strong solution of the Navier-Stokes equations, he proposed mathematical formulas such as the singularity energy gradient theory, the time axis theory model and the mathematical formula of the space axis, the weighted essential non-oscillating algorithm, and the discontinuous Galerkin method.

So, based on these, is it possible to use mathematical models to simulate the existence of black holes?

If humanity could understand black holes, could we use them to advance human technology?
However, this is only mathematical theoretical calculation. Research and development in materials science, physics, and other fields must also be carried out simultaneously in order to reach such a level.

Otherwise, we can only watch helplessly.

Just like how humans knew about nuclear fission and nuclear fusion decades ago, and created atomic bombs, hydrogen bombs, and even three-phase bombs.

However, faced with controlled nuclear fusion technology, humanity can only stare in disbelief and sigh in vain.

In the timeline before Wang Duoyu's time travel, controlled nuclear fusion technology was still just a legend, and there was no way to solve its material and other technical problems.

"Okay, Dad, I'll try my best."

Wang Junhong nodded earnestly, and Wang Duoyu smiled with satisfaction.

Wang Duoyu wasn't particularly concerned about whether his child would work hard or become a researcher.

Han Yu once said: A disciple need not be inferior to his teacher, nor a teacher necessarily be more virtuous than his disciple.

As early as half a month ago, Harbin Institute of Technology held an exam to recruit Wang Duoyu as a student.

Ten student candidates have been selected, and Wang Junhong's name is prominently featured on the list.

It's just that Wang Duoyu was working on his thesis at Alibaba's camp, so the final interview has been postponed until now.

In fact, this part of the work could have been done entirely through a video interview, but Wang Duoyu refused.

There's no need. What's wrong with waiting half a month?
Since Wang Junhong has already made it this far, becoming his father's student is a foregone conclusion.

However, Wang Duoyu himself might not be willing to teach this child.

If the little guy performs well, then Wang Duoyu will become the little guy's nominal teacher, but he will leave the little guy to Yorkz and the others to help teach him.

"Dad, what are you talking about? What is dark energy?"

At this moment, Wang Yifei suddenly interjected.

She was watching the TV intently; there was a really popular movie out there, and she was completely absorbed.

"Sisi, do you want to be a scientist when you grow up?"

Liu Xiaoli laughed, and the second and third brothers were all amused.

Wang Qianqian answered crisply:
"I don't want to be a scientist. My dad went to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and didn't miss me for a month, so I don't want to be a scientist."

Haha!

Everyone laughed. Wang Duoyu put down his chopsticks and patted the little guy's head.
"Then why are you asking me about dark energy? Sisi, can you even understand what I'm saying?"

"Yes, because Dad, you can definitely tell me in a language I can understand, right?"

Forehead!
Wang Duoyu, who had been outmaneuvered, froze on the spot.

This little guy is really good at giving opinions.

"Okay, then Dad will explain it to you simply, and see if you can understand."

"Okay, Dad, I'll listen carefully."

As she spoke, the little girl was already looking at her father with longing eyes, and even Liu Xiaoli, Wang Junhong, and Li Rongrong were looking at Wang Duoyu as well.

"Dark energy permeates every corner of the universe. It is not visible to the naked eye; it is more like an abstract substance, full of many unknown properties, but it truly exists."

Wang Duoyu explained earnestly.

It's not common to share this kind of knowledge with family members in daily life.

Because in the past, Wang Duoyu's research was all about highly classified projects, or mathematical problems that they simply couldn't understand.

While dark energy is a very profound topic, it can ultimately be described in simple terms.

Of course, Wang Duoyu did not mention that dark energy has a magical ability to resist gravity, which is the complete opposite of gravity.

The anti-gravity engine is a research project he is currently working on, and he has even enlisted the help of Rong Guangxia, Li Jianshu, and Li Jun to complete the project.

"Normally, dark energy cancels out gravity, thus bringing the universe into a state of relative stillness."

"In addition, dark energy does not react to light; it neither absorbs nor reflects light, making it very difficult for us to study and observe."

Wang Duoyu said:

"This is the information we have at this stage. More information will require technological advancements or the discovery of more brilliant scientists."

The second son immediately spoke up:

"Dad, aren't you the most talented genius scientist? Can't you even discover this?"

Although it was flattery, Wang Duoyu was still very happy.

"Silly child, there is never a single most talented genius in this world. There are always people more talented than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding." Wang Duoyu patted his second son on the shoulder and said earnestly:

"None of you should be arrogant or conceited; you must always maintain a humble attitude towards this world."

"Furthermore, I only have some achievements in mathematics, but in physics, especially in cosmology and astrophysics, I am still just a student."

The children nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

They may seem grown up, but they haven't actually grown up yet.

Wang Junhong is already over 1.7 meters tall, but he still occasionally acts spoiled towards his mother.

In the field of mathematics, Wang Junhong is roughly at the level of a mathematics PhD, but he is only twelve years old and has experienced too little.

Moreover, to be honest, Wang Junhong and his three children have basically never experienced any setbacks.

They might give up on their future growth because of some trivial matters.

Therefore, Wang Duoyu and Liu Xiaoli are both quite cautious when it comes to their child's education.

The next day, Wang Duoyu arrived at the School of Mathematics teaching building to conduct today's interviews.

All ten candidates were waiting in the next classroom beforehand.

When the other nine people saw Wang Junhong, they either looked ingratiating or remained silent, but none of them dared to mock him.

Anyone with a brain would know that Wang Duoyu would definitely protect his own.

No one would believe that Wang Junhong's success today is entirely due to his father.

The training camp lasted from September of last year to May of this year, a full six months.

If Wang Junhong were just a pretty face without any real skills, he would have been kicked out long ago.

As for whether Wang Duoyu would give the test questions to Wang Junhong in advance so that his son could try them out, or even give him the answers directly, no one would think that.

Liu Deben and the other older generation weren't blind; they couldn't tolerate any wrongdoing.

Therefore, Wang Junhong definitely has real talent and ability. Zhao Jice, Yang Wenchuan, Peng Fuli, and Li Changfu, who participated in the training camp with him, are the most qualified to say on this point.

"Are you afraid?"

At this moment, Wang Junhong looked at Zhao Jice, Peng Fuli, and Yang Wenchuan and asked with a smile.

"How could I not be afraid?" Yang Wenchuan rolled his eyes.

"Junhong, did your father give you any prior information?"

Upon hearing this, everyone else in the classroom perked up their ears.

"What do you think?" Wang Junhong rolled his eyes at the other person speechlessly, then shrugged and said:
"I don't dare mention this to him, and he's been fishing and playing with my sister and the others these past two days. He hasn't had time for me at all. We only chat briefly during meals, but it has nothing to do with what happened today."

Yang Wenchuan and his two companions were immediately disappointed.

They immediately breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed they still had hope.

There were so many people in the training team, but now only the four of them are left.

Liang Xiuneng, Yang Guiming, Zhang Bochao, Li Changfu and others were eliminated, not because they were not strong enough, but because the exam questions were too difficult.

Although Liang Xiuneng and his group did not pass the assessment, they are still in the training team. In July, they will participate in the International Mathematical Olympiad with Wang Junhong and the other three.

At this moment, a staff member walked in and said to everyone:
"Dear students, the interview is now officially starting. Peng Fuli, please come with me. Yang Wenchuan, please get ready."

Swish!
The interviews began, and everyone immediately became nervous.

In the office next door, Wang Duoyu was somewhat surprised to see Peng Fuli walk in; he was too young.

"Professor Wang, hello. I am the first candidate to be interviewed today. My name is Peng Fuli, and I am [age missing]."

"Don't be nervous, Peng Fuli. Please have a seat. By the way, where are you from? Judging from your accent, you're probably from the Jiangsu-Zhejiang area, right?"

In less than three minutes, Wang Duoyu's very approachable chatter immediately put Peng Fuli at ease and made him less nervous.

But just as he was relaxing, Wang Duoyu suddenly wrote a math problem on the paper and said:

"Here's a problem. You have half an hour to finish it. Go to the small room next door and do it. There's scratch paper there. Come find me when you're done. Remember, it can't be more than half an hour."

half an hour?
Peng Fuli respectfully accepted the paper and then went next door.

Soon, it was Yang Wenchuan's turn next.

Yang Wenchuan, who is seventeen, is much older than Peng Fuli, who is thirteen.

Therefore, he wasn't that nervous, and Wang Duoyu was the same. They chatted for three minutes, rambling on about this and that, just talking about everyday things.

Because of this, Yang Wenchuan almost broke down.

He had prepared so much for today's interview, reading countless extracurricular books, but now it was all useless.

Moreover, his back was tense when he was chatting with Wang Duoyu.

Similarly, Wang Duoyu also took out a piece of paper and gave the other party a question.

The subsequent interview candidates were all similar.

As soon as Wang Junhong walked in, before his father could speak, he said directly:

"Dad, you're not going to stop me from passing, are you? If you don't, I'll go back and tell Mom, and I'll also call my stepmother."

He's acting unpredictably, trying to catch his father off guard.

The result was obvious: he was disappointed.

His father glared at him, then took out his phone and handed it to him.
"Come on, call your mom and stepmother right now and tell them I'm not letting you pass the interview. Call them now!"

what?
Wang Junhong was dumbfounded, but he was also clever, and immediately smiled ingratiatingly and said:

"Dad, I was just kidding."

"I'm not kidding you. You're so young and you already have so many schemes. You're even trying to get in through connections, aren't you?"

Before the little guy could speak, Wang Duoyu pointed directly to the door:
“Okay, the door is right here. Go find Yorkz now and ask him to guide you. If that doesn’t work, you can also help your senior sister Yang. She’s currently working on a very important project, so go and help her.”

"Dad, did I pass the interview?"

"You didn't complain, so how could I possibly let you pass the interview?"

"Hehe, I got it, thanks Master Dad, haha!"

Wang Junhong laughed with delight and ran out of the office.

In the next classroom, Zhao Jice and the others who heard Wang Junhong's laughter immediately felt a bitter taste in their mouths.

The difference between people is indeed huge.

Half a day later, only three of the ten candidates failed the interview.

This time, two doctoral students were recruited: Gene Hines and Wu Yiliang, and one master's student: An Xiaoxi.

The remaining four are undergraduate students: Wang Junhong, Yang Wenchuan, Zhao Jice, and Peng Fuli.

Seven students were recruited, four of whom were undergraduates. Peng Fuli was thirteen years old, and Wang Junan was not yet twelve.

This also shows that Wang Duoyu prefers young geniuses simply because they have greater potential.

After the list was announced, it caused an uproar on the Harbin Institute of Technology campus, with everyone discussing it.

No one was surprised to see Wang Junhong on the list.

But it's strange that Peng Fuli is also on the list.

Furthermore, both Zhao Jice and Yang Wenchuan are under eighteen years old, making them very young as well.

Are these four little geniuses really that talented?
The news spread quickly, and the United States soon received the information.

Inside the Department of Mathematics at Princeton University's main campus, a group of professors remained silent.

Van Lawrence is dead; he died in an aviation accident.

Anyway, no one inside the Princeton University Mathematics Department knew the reason behind it, since few people knew about the deal between Carlos Vance Lawrence and the CIA.

But Princeton University President Beckett was well aware of the background and consequences of this matter.

Unfortunately, the mission to assassinate Van Lawrence was not carried out by the dark web, but rather was an accident orchestrated by the Arctic Fox mercenary group.

Even if Beckett was fully aware of this, it wouldn't make a difference. Besides, the CIA was currently busy dealing with the dark web, specifically the Garden assassin organization.

In addition, the situation in Moscow, Africa, South America and other regions is not peaceful, and even though the intelligence agency has many agents, it is currently facing some difficulties.

Why does the CIA, with its hundreds of thousands of employees, experience a shortage of manpower?

Because they suffered many deaths and injuries last year, nearly a hundred people died in Harbin alone.

Not only were Zhou Xiayang, Yu Zhuoran, and other Asian agents all captured, but Eric, Zoran Davis, and the others were also arrested.

Yes, Eric and the others who had escaped were all captured and brought back.

It's highly unlikely that they want to leave Heilongjiang.

As the president of Princeton University, Beckett knew that the tide had turned, especially since Wang Duoyu had so ostentatiously recruited seven students.

What else can be done?

Yau Shing-Tung and his team sent Wang Duoyu their blessings and asked him a series of questions at the monthly math sharing session, which extended the originally three-hour session to six hours.

It is actually divided into two sessions, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.

North Africa, Somalia Peninsula.

"So? Any discoveries?"

Black Widow Daisy Carter and her new partner Hamilton were seen chatting in a bar in Somaliland, in northwestern Somalia.

Since the beginning of this year, after her mission in Moscow ended, she left Moscow and returned to London to rest for a few months before being recently dispatched to Somalia to carry out a new mission.

As a top FBI agent, Black Widow considers her defeat in Moscow a disgrace.

No matter what, she will not admit defeat and will retaliate.

Last year, after receiving her mission, she traveled from London to Moscow. After a fierce battle, she managed to escape, but her partner was left behind in Moscow forever.

Most importantly, she didn't complete that task at all.

The enemy is too fierce.

They were also extremely arrogant.

Now she's in Somalia, and her mission target turns out to be connected to the same group she met in Moscow.

The FBI's intelligence sources might be genuine, but Daisy Carter didn't care; she wouldn't miss any opportunity to use them.

"no!"

Hamilton shook his head and said:
"They're too cunning; they haven't shown themselves yet. Perhaps they won't be trading here."

"You mean they trade at sea?"

"Hmm, that's possible. The vast ocean is the best place for trading, but are these Somali blacks really that smart?"

As to whether he is indeed that clever, Black Widow believes that a little investigation would suffice.

Unfortunately, if the aircraft carrier could come and take a stroll around here, those people would have nowhere to escape.

However, once the carrier strike group is deployed, there will naturally be no need for agents like Black Widow.

Furthermore, using the radar, fighter jets, and other reconnaissance equipment of an aircraft carrier battle group to track down arms deals is simply using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

On the other side, Pei Xiaojun and his group, disguised as black men, glanced at Black Widow and Hamilton before turning back to continue drinking.

Pei Xiaojun and his team carried out their mission entirely according to the requirements of special forces, and various forms of disguise were the most basic things they did.

They have been in Somalia for more than four months and have a certain understanding of the local area.

If you pretend now, as long as you don't chat with locals, there shouldn't be a big problem.

Daisy Carter, the Black Widow, has a fantastic figure, with dazzling breasts. In a godforsaken place like Somalia, you simply can't find a beauty of this caliber, so any normal man would be unable to resist taking a second look.

"Xiaojun, what do you think those two white men are doing here? They can't be here for tourism, can they?"

Gao Zhiwu frowned and asked.

In late April, they all returned to China to attend Huang Yiwen's funeral.

Come and go in a hurry.

They stayed in Somalia to carry out missions, not as tourists.

Since the fall of Siad, the leader of Somalia, last year, the country has been divided into warlord states.

For example, Somaliland, Puntland in central Somalia, and Southwestern Somalia are all de facto independent.

After armed separatism, the entire Somali peninsula was frequently embroiled in civil war, with various tribes and warlords fighting against each other.

This led to the complete collapse of the entire society's education, healthcare, and other systems.

In addition, Somalia has relied on piracy since the 20th century.

The Somali Peninsula is a vital sea route for cargo ships from various countries to enter and exit the Suez Canal. Pirates extort money from merchant ships from various countries every year, and the amount is incalculable.

The war bred numerous vested interests, and countless human tragedies unfolded here every day.

Similarly, warlords and tribal chiefs were able to enjoy luxurious lifestyles, with some even purchasing private jets.

Heaven and hell are separated by only a thin line.

Starting this year, the United Nations has deployed peacekeeping forces to Somalia to monitor ceasefires among various tribes.

At the same time, humanitarian relief will be provided to the residents of Somalia.

It was against this backdrop that Pei Xiaojun and his group entered Somalia.

The weapons in the hands of those warlords could not have come out of thin air. Somalia has virtually no industry, so those weapons were all acquired through trade.

Pei Xiaojun and his team's goal was to develop more trading partners and sell more weapons.

Of course, Pei Xiaojun and his team weren't selling weapons; they were just here to provide assistance.

The actual salesperson negotiating the deal is someone else.

"Do you think they might be tourists? More likely they're fearless journalists or secret agents."

Lao Zunli suddenly said something, and Pei Xiaojun and the others immediately exchanged glances, all of them seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.

Perhaps they were right.

Since that's the case, shall we do it or not?

In Somalia, the most terrifying thing is not the warlords or tribes, but rather the omnipresent secret agents.

Like those guys, if they hadn't disguised themselves as black people, they wouldn't have been able to infiltrate.

"Dry!"

There are many special agents from various countries, as well as peacekeeping forces, medical teams, and so on.

Despite Somalia being in a state of anarchy and relying on piracy for a living, there is virtually no local income.

However, with warlords around, and with Somalia still having mineral resources, they can still extract some profit; otherwise, they wouldn't have the money to buy weapons.

Pei Xiaojun, Gao Zhiwu, Lao Zunli and the others exchanged glances and quickly and tacitly assigned tasks.

Shortly after, Black Widow and her companion left to return to their hotel to rest.

Lao Zunli and Lei Yang followed at a distance; they looked like drunkards, walking unsteadily.

After confirming the location of Black Widow and her companion, they did not leave but stayed at the hotel entrance.

After nightfall, they began their operation.

The night wasn't very dark tonight because the moon was quite round overhead, and the Somali peninsula is located by the sea, so there were no clouds in the night sky, making everything quite clear.

Gao Zhiwu and his men launched an attack as soon as they arrived at the hotel.

Bang bang!

Daisy Carter and Hamilton were very alert and, surprisingly, hadn't fallen asleep. They quickly launched a counterattack.

In fact, very few people in Somalia dare to sleep so soundly.

"The enemy's firepower is too strong, we must retreat immediately!"

Black Widow's expression was grave, while Hamilton's face had changed drastically; he had no idea when the two of them had been exposed.

But none of that matters now; the key is whether we can escape.

Unfortunately, they encountered very strong firepower this time. Pei Xiaojun and his team of more than 20 people were all skilled fighters. How could they possibly let Daisy Carter and her group escape?

The battle was over in less than five minutes.

Two against more than twenty people, the disparity between the two sides was too great, not to mention that Black Widow and her team were the ones being surrounded, so there was no suspense at all.

Upon entering the room, Pei Xiaojun and his group discovered the identities of Black Widow and her companions, which immediately surprised them.

"Damn, she's Black Widow? No wonder!"

Daisy Carter's name is well-known among the many security teams at Maple Leaf Holdings.

Almost everyone has heard of the Black Widow.

Who can blame them when the other party is truly formidable? In Moscow, she managed to escape unscathed multiple times, practically like an unkillable cockroach.

This time, Pei Xiaojun and his group really got a great deal.

Exa Farm, Montana, USA.

Martinez and Boofer were overjoyed when they received the message from Somalia.

Back when they were in Moscow, Daisy Carter almost killed Caltim.

Therefore, Martinez and his team were eager to get rid of the Black Widow.

Unexpectedly, more than half a year later in Somalia, Pei Xiaojun and his team killed the Black Widow.

Indeed, life is so wondrous.

Just then, Yabo Fein's phone rang; it was Zheng Baoyin calling.

"Yabo, how's that matter going?"

"Please rest assured, Mr. Zheng, it's in progress."

"okay!"

Zheng Baoyin hung up the phone, still feeling somewhat worried, so he called Wang Jianchao.

The latter was chatting with one or two members of Congress at that moment.

"Gentlemen, this is a token of my appreciation."

The two councilors took a look and smiled knowingly.

Americans give gifts openly and honestly, without any attempt to conceal it.

Wang Jianchao's gift-giving was very pleasant, with a few pleasant gestures.

For example, the gift before us is clearly made of gold.

Actually, the current price of gold is $352 per ounce, which is not expensive, and much cheaper than last year's $372.

However, gold is a good store of value, and you can easily exchange it for US dollars to spend.

You can spend it abroad, even if you don't spend it in the United States.

But all that gold was just the surface; the real bulk of the money had already been delivered to their doorstep.

"Gentlemen, it was a pleasure to have dinner with you. Let's meet again next time."

After leaving the restaurant, Wang Jianchao got into his car and then made a phone call back to Zheng Baoyin.

"Jianchao, I just spoke with people in Washington. According to them, George Herbert's popular vote share isn't high; he hasn't pulled ahead of Kennedy."

To change history, you need to prepare in advance.

George Herbert was somewhat arrogant and looked down on Clinton, but he never expected to make a mistake.

The situation is gradually becoming clearer; judging from the popular vote, it's a 4-4-2 split.

George Herbert and Clinton were about the same, with no significant difference between them.

If it weren't for Ross Perot, the independent candidate, who garnered 20 percent of the vote, George Herbert might have widened the gap with Clinton.

Reality can be cruel sometimes.

"Okay, I understand. I'll be having dinner with three other councilors tomorrow, and they'll continue their discussion then."

Wang Jianchao said:

"Remember to talk to Lee Evra and O'Brien and see how many people they've managed to handle?"

The popular vote is no longer an option; now all that's left are the members of parliament.

At this point, the US dollar will truly be able to function.

Inside the White House office in Washington, D.C.

Dukenigan, a member of the think tank who had already been bribed, reported in a deep voice:
"Your Excellency, according to our investigation, 380 newspapers across the United States have published detailed reports on your live television speech, saying that you frequently looked at your watch, showing disrespect for your opponent and the people."

"This is what our investigation has revealed as the reason why your votes are behind Clinton's."

"In addition, we have received information that more than seventy members of parliament have publicly expressed their great disappointment with you, believing that you are not a qualified leader."

Actually, it's not just because of that.

Because those members of parliament themselves deeply resented George Herbert's favoritism toward our country.

Rednecks, you know.

Everyone understands it.

That is why George Herbert is indeed in great danger now.

If he does not receive more support from members of parliament, he may not be able to be re-elected as the leader.

For a 68-year-old man, if he cannot be re-elected...

So if he runs for office again four years later, he will probably lose again.

Therefore, he must succeed in this re-election, otherwise, things will be disastrous.

Navie Albert, Danquil, Algore, and others remained silent, because this was George Herbert's own problem, and none of them knew how to put it.

You can't exactly say to George Herbert: It's all your fault, why were you looking at your watch all the time?

What's so great about that crappy watch?
"Gentlemen, is there any solution?"

George Herbert had to ask in a deep voice.

There's nothing more to say about his own mistakes.

Who can blame him for not being in a good mood lately?

On the one hand, he is already 68 years old and has developed symptoms of physical discomfort such as arrhythmia.

in the country, there's a saying: "It's rare for someone to live to seventy."

Reaching the age of seventy is indeed very old.

George Herbert is still able to work on the front lines, putting in more than eight hours of intense work every day, which has already surpassed many young people.

On the other hand, his most beloved child, Neil Herbert, was embroiled in a lawsuit, which made him even more exhausted.

He even considered giving up his re-election campaign at one point.

But in fact, George Herbert celebrated his 80th and 85th birthdays by skydiving.

So this guy was in pretty good health, and he lived to be ninety-four years old before he passed away.

Therefore, this guy is only sixty-eight years old and wants to retire? Well, Wang Duoyu thinks it's unnecessary.

Of course, there was another reason why George Herbert wanted to give up his re-election campaign: compared to his military and diplomatic victories abroad, his performance at home was not so good.

The victory in the Gulf War, and Gorbachev's resignation, among other things.

These are all his medals of honor.

However, the domestic economy continues to slump, and many people are very dissatisfied.

In the original timeline, during a campaign debate, Clinton's aide said: "Idiot, the problem is still the economy!"

With this slogan, George Herbert's re-election as the leader was ended.

In the original timeline's history, the US economy was in recession the year before last and last year, with a series of problems such as a sharp increase in the unemployment rate.

In his campaign document, "The Vision for a New America," Clinton explicitly proposed the nationwide highway network of the 1950s, which enabled the United States to achieve unprecedented development over the next two decades.

To make America prosperous again, we must build the road to the 21st century.

This is the Internet Superhighway project.

But in this timeline, George Herbert's team had already prepared a plan and started implementing it last year.

Therefore, it now appears that the issue of George Herbert's re-election campaign is no longer an economic one.

However, in the popular vote, George Herbert was still behind Clinton.

It can only be said that the immense inertia of history is so difficult to reverse.
