President McMillan returns with a well-grown turkey. In other words, it was the story of Pardoning the Turkey celebrating Thanksgiving every year. The pardon here means that it is guaranteed not to be placed on the table. However, as a turkey, you can avoid the death penalty. The event, from its name to its quirkiness, was a great place to put the President's health at ease. It is also why we decided to postpone the event that was scheduled to be on Wednesday and hold it on the morning of Thanksgiving.

Many broadcasters have been broadcasting live rose gardens at the White House since just before time. Given that it was only 10 minutes away, it was an unusually high interest. The white turkey stood still, whether people saw it or not. The name of the creature appearing as a subtitle is Hope. In case Hope could not come out, the name of the preliminary amnesty target prepared was Unity.

Names given to pardoned turkeys usually do not contain political intent. It is because the purpose of the event is to purely create a festive atmosphere. However, there has been one exception in the past: the two turkeys pardoned in the year of the 9.11 terror received different names of freedom (Liberty, Freedom). This is George W. Bush's reenactment. With this commentary, reporters added that today will be the second exception.

Shortly after, the White House spokesman announced the start of the pardon ceremony.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States of America is coming in.

President McMillen, who appeared with a wave of his hand, stood on the stage with his mistress, as more attendees applauded after rigorous screening than usual. However, since then, he has to swallow the horse several times.

Thank you. Thank you.

Yesterday, a person who was tired suddenly appeared to look quite healthy. It would have been a result of my acting and make-up. Otherwise, I would have set up a more immersive position.

I see you've all met the protagonist of the day, without any introduction to me. Yes, our hope that bends there. You're so healthy.

A quiet smile flows from a simple pun.

Justice, Faith, Peace, Philanthropy……. Just by name, the controversial turkeys held a fierce lobby to get here. It was never easy to decide which one to choose. I mean, that's what I heard. I was relaxed when I lay down. The President of the United States sends his deepest thanks to the farmers of the National Turkey Society for giving my troubled chiefs a hard time.

Once again, a little smile spread. The Chief of Staff, who put his hands together in front of him, also smiles with difficulty. It was a witty metaphor for the process of naming a turkey.

Today, I would like to offer our hope and our unity tomorrow, and I would like to share one personal wish with the citizens who are watching.

While taking a moment to refresh the mood, the president looked at attendees with a gentle face.

Let's start fresh.

As the president's tone changed, the winter restaurant was quiet as well.

When our ancestors first harvested this land, all they gained was corn. Wheat is withered and barley is broken. It's because we haven't adapted to new climates, new lands, new seeds, new people.

Therefore, the first Thanksgiving was never a rich day. Nevertheless, the ancestors were delighted. It was not just corn on their table, it was a symbol of hope. Yes, they had better hope for tomorrow. It was a victory that was achieved through many sacrifices and prolonged hunger. That's why we are still celebrating this day.

One more thing to remember here is that there were some indigenous people sitting around the table. So the hope that became the root of this day was that Bondi language, race, culture and other people came together as one.

Of course, the harmony did not last long. I think this was one of the largest capitalists in American history. In history, assumptions are meaningless, but I do occasionally imagine How many days after that would have changed if we had somehow managed to reconcile.

I invite all of you who are listening to me.

We definitely went through a dark time. But today, as our forefathers did today, let us enjoy the day with a pure heart, just as we did in the dark. People live on hope. Let us rejoice at the fact that we are still alive, rejoice again that we have gathered the crops alive, and pray to God that each of us believes.

"Therefore, let us confirm our harmony with each other and move on to a new age, a better tomorrow. We have to survive. I have an obligation to do so. Our one and only life would have been the hope of all those who have been sacrificed or sacrificed. I confess this wish here, and I hope it will be in your hearts as well.

A thicker reed spilled out than before. After splitting the direction, the president gestures.

That's all I have to say. All right, everybody, this way.

It was time to give freedom to America's leading turkey.

“It makes me feel so weird to be slicing a roasted turkey while looking at it... …. ”

In the embarrassing winter words, Vice President Sunders laughs out loud.

“That's what people do, Commander. ”

The two of them are standing side by side feeding the soldiers. It is not traditional for the United States military to wear aprons and fill the soldiers' plates every Thanksgiving. Although mature, popular, there was no maturity to replace winter. The vice president came in here out of nowhere.

Vice President Sunders, twenty years older than President McMillen, has caused citizens to worry about the succession of government affairs. However, there is no fatigue due to the continuous cheerfulness of the attendants. He was very corrected for his age.

Winter said.

“I was a little surprised that you came unannounced. ”

Since I was busy once because it was an autonomous ceremony, I had a lot of time to talk. The Vice President made a silly look so that it didn't suit his manners.

“So you don't like it? ”

“No. It's an honor to meet you. I'm just wondering what brings you here so busy. ”

“I won't be too busy when the President returns. The Vice President's supposed to be the best man. I go when I go, I talk when I talk, I rest when I rest. It's just been a weird month. It's hard today, but after three or four days, it's going to be painful. ”

“ ……. ”

“I'm here because I don't have much room to smile and talk. Even though the president said that, if someone my size is smiling everywhere, it's obvious that there's someone out there. Has the Vice President already forgotten the victims of October? and.”

“That's a little harsh……. ”

“That's how politics works. A few years ago, some accused the president of looking bored when his children came out of the turkey ceremony. ”

A month after the incident, not all the scars left in D.C. were erased. The Vice President eventually came because he needed photos and articles for the media to change the mood.

“Commander, since I've come all this way, let me ask you a personal question. ”

“Go ahead.”

“Are you planning on getting married soon? ”

It was a completely unexpected question. Then the president also mentioned marriage as a passing joke yesterday. As winter unfolds in doubt, Vice President Sunders raises his hands.

“Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to force you to do anything. Marriage is strictly personal. So unless you're crossing a line that I'm not supposed to cross, please be honest with me. ”

“May I ask why you're asking me that? ”

“Haha. What did I say I was doing here just now? ”

“Ah……. ”

“If you're willing to do that, and you're willing to keep it a secret, it'll help keep the atmosphere alive as the new administration kicks in. It doesn't have to be an expression. It's just enough to know that you have a plan. Again, no coercion. I'm just asking you to consider a little cooperation. ”

But in the end, I wanted to use personal history. Even though it was based on good faith, it was essentially no different from distracting the public with something else when the scans exploded.

“Of course you can say no. Just think about it. ”

It was a request from the Vice President.

After he leaves, you get a call from someone who's glad to see you. The caller was Commander Robert Capston of the 160th Regiment. Last year, he had never met since he left Port Roberts with Anne, who now crossed the southern border of Texas as part of a continental separation operation into north-eastern Mexico. Winter greeted me a little late.

“It's been a long time since I heard your voice. I guess you still have my number. ”

"There was no reason to erase it. Things got awkward trying to get in touch with me, so I quit every time.

When winter received the terminals, it was before the mission to stop the Salinas Dam from collapsing. It was natural to establish an emergency contact network, so even if Captains had Winter contacts, nothing was strange.

However, it was a long time since I was unable to contact Jung Jeong from the pursuit mission. Captains would have been busy, too.

How are you?

“Yes, very stable. You've seen it all on TV. ”

"Well, even if I heard you were safe, not all the information is public in the press.

“I'm fine here. There are some remnants that haven't been caught, but I'm a runaway. I think they'll catch us soon. Lieutenant Markett, as well. ”

"Lieutenant Markert……. What a long, tough story.

“I see.”

If he was caught, he was a man with minimum life sentence and maximum death sentence. Gunshots may be enforced under military law. So I understand running desperately. In fact, he was surprised that he was still running away. I thought you weren't even capable of that. On the one hand, it reminded me of Captain Harris, but on the other hand, comparing it to him seemed like an example. Captain Harris was as sure of his men as he was of control.

With a brief silence, winter asked.

“What's the situation on the front? How are the Suliban and Geoffrey? ”

What is here…….

The captain said with an attitude he was not confident.

I'm making good progress without any major damage, but I feel strange about myself.

“Does this mean it looks like the mutants are drawing in allies? ”

No, it's different. To put it this way, I must feel like I'm fighting a fight to win and a fight to retreat.... Easy battles and difficult battles are being scaled at a constant rate. Approximately eighty-nine out of ten one-sided victories, and one or two middle-aged thirteen. Like that. "

“ ……. ”

Winter came as a guess.
