Chapter 508 The Storm is Coming
The president's worries were not wrong. I'm afraid it will be difficult for people to spend this Christmas with peace of mind...

On the night of December 12th, a scandal suddenly broke out on the WikiLeaks website.

The initial revelations were not very powerful, but they were shocking enough.

"Damn it, it's real or not. Is this a photo of the President of the United States when he was young?? So trendy? Damn, it's so individual, I admire it!"

"Hey, the president is awesome. But having said that, the president had a pretty good figure when he was young!"

America, the White House.

The president sullenly sat on a purple leather sofa without saying a word.

A middle-aged man walked up to him and said, "Your Excellency, the public relations department is trying to save it? Let me ask, that photo..."

Before he could finish speaking, the president suddenly raised his head to look at him, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's true!"

After a pause, he continued: "When I was young, I admired art, so I took this photo, but I didn't expect..."

The middle-aged man nodded, expressing his understanding.

It's just that he didn't expect to become the president now, so the original photo became a scandal for him.

"Your Excellency, please rest assured, we will publicize as soon as possible to minimize the negative impact!"

"Yeah." The president nodded, feeling very tired.Since becoming president, there has been constant negative news, but fortunately, there is almost no negative news that really poses a threat.But the appearance of this photo right now, although it cannot bring down the president, the blow to his popularity is undoubtedly huge!

Within two days, and it has not been resolved yet, there are new scandals about the president and the US government on the WikiLeaks website!

It's really a wave of upheaval!
"Your Excellency, it's not good, WikiLeaks broke the news again?"

When the president heard this, his heart tightened, and he thought, there shouldn't be another scandal...

In terms of economy, I am very careful, and it should be difficult for people to catch loopholes.

Clinton's sex scandal back then is vivid in my mind, and I didn't commit any crimes myself.

Why is there another scandal?

The president asked calmly, "What's the news?"

"Your Excellency, according to the WikiLeaks website, a person named Edward Snowden leaked information, claiming that the National Security Agency monitors the electronic communications of all American and foreign citizens, which is our top-secret electronic monitoring program-Prism Project!"

Upon hearing this, the president suddenly stood up with a shocked expression. At this moment, he was already aware of the seriousness of the situation!
The PRISM project began in 2007 and has been implemented in the hands of the president.

He walked around the office anxiously, trying to suppress this matter, or even hide it, but it was obvious that this matter had already spread on the Internet, and there was no way to cover it up.

"This damn WikiLeaks website!" The president cursed through gritted teeth. The WikiLeaks website has become a thorn in the side of the president and the US government, and he wants to get rid of it quickly.

The president sternly said: "Add more manpower to find a way to arrest the founder of the WikiLeaks website as soon as possible. In addition, there is also the leaker of the Prism project, and he will be secretly arrested immediately."

"Your Excellency, the leaker of Project Prism has sought asylum in more than 20 countries, including Russia, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. At present, this person has gone to Russia, received warm reception from Russia, and obtained Russian asylum. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him."

The president frowned when he heard this.

"Your Excellency, the Prism project has caused public outrage. Netizens have criticized you and the US government, and countries have expressed condemnation."

"Okay, I see!" The president took a deep breath and suddenly calmed down.He turned on the computer, logged on to Weibo and Facebook, and found that the hot news was almost all related to the Prism project.

"Shock!The U.S. government monitors everyone's communication data and violates people's privacy! "

"America is the world's biggest eavesdropper!" "

"America's human rights are just slogans?The Prism Project lets you know what it means to have no human rights! "

"Prism Project Fears the World! "

"Shocking, there are as many as dozens of companies involved in the Prism Project!" "

……

There are so many companies participating in the Prism Project. The U.S. government approached Li Zetian in 2007, hoping that companies under his name, such as Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Amazon, Tencent, Apple, and Facebook, could cooperate with him.But Li Zetian knew that the "prism gate" would happen sooner or later, so he refused it straight away.

Once the Prism Gate occurs, it will become a stain on the enterprises under the name of Li Zetian, which may have a devastating impact on business reputation, make the political neutrality of multinational companies suspicious, and deepen mutual distrust in business exchanges between countries.Therefore, Li Zetian will never agree to the request of the US government!

With Li Zetian's strength in 2007, he is fully capable of saying "no" to the US government! ! !
At this time, the "Lingjing Gate" broke out ahead of schedule, and Li Zetian was naturally behind it. His purpose was to attack the president and the US government, and to attack commercial competitors.

one stone two bird!
It has to be said that the effect is obvious.

After the "Prism Gate" happened, the reputation of the companies involved in the plan was greatly damaged, and their stocks all fell.Thinking about it, the company's performance in the future will definitely decline significantly!

First, the suppression of Li Zetian caused another economic crisis in the United States, and then the "prism door" exploded.The president's public approval rating has dropped again and again, and many people are already very dissatisfied with him, thinking that he is not qualified to be the president of the United States.

Gradually, the voices of the people demanding the resignation of the president emerged.

……

"Do you want to add a little more information?"

In Leisurely Garden, Li Zetian was leaning on the recliner, thinking about it, a meaningful smile could not help but appear on the corner of his mouth.

Not long after that, the WikiLeaks website released another video showing Iraqi civilians being killed indiscriminately by the US military during the Baghdad air strike!

As soon as this content was announced, it immediately caused a global uproar!
There were many demonstrations and demonstrations across the United States, and many people held signs outside the White House, denouncing the president and the US government.

On the Internet, countless people have accused the US government and military.

"It's so cruel, it simply treats life like nothing!"

"Hmph, that's how America's hegemony came about!"

"The President and the US government are so disappointing!"

"Since the President was elected President of the United States, look at what he has done?!"

"Strongly demand that the president step down, and if he continues to be in office, the United States will be ruined by him!"

With the help of Li Zetian, a huge storm of magnitude 10 or above suddenly blew up across the United States, and the core of this storm was the President of the United States...

PS: Typing is slow, updates are also slow, and many readers are facing a shortage of books. You may wish to read a novel "Silicon Valley King" written by "Baisha" before.
