Chapter 1145 - The Cursed Name

Chapter 1145 The Cursed Name
…we are facing the worst depression since 2008. However, our president doesn’t seem to be aware of this. Or rather, she has noticed the problem, but she hasn’t been treating this problem with seriousness. Enterprises and families are facing a credit crunch, our pension and wallet are shrinking, wages have fallen to their lowest point since the 2008 economic crisis, yet our cost of living has reached the highest its been in history!

Look at what our president has done for us. In order to let us temporarily forget about the pain of not being able to repay our credit card, she stressed that she would return to the Asia-Pacific region, escalate regional disputes, divert our attention, and even send the aircraft battle group for a stroll in the West Pacific Ocean… The result was that she fooled no one but herself, and almost pushed our country to the brink of a world war.



Maybe she thinks our life is not miserable enough. I heard that she is now discussing with her cabinet about restricting the import of medical drones. My only suggestion is to spend more time with the cute little angels, maybe they will be taken away by the FBA tomorrow, and no drones will ever fly into the window to save you. Thank goodness, we will return to the era of calling to make an appointment with the doctor. Perhaps this will save us a lot of money. After all, in that era, we didn’t take medicine when we had a fever…

In the holographic screen, the man in the suit stood in the middle of the supporters and had a bright smile on his face. Unlike the aggressive speech, he was not speaking at a fast pace, he could even be described as gentle, but the words he said were as sharp as the best knife.
From the art of this speech alone, Mr. Kennedy was indeed worthy of his name.

What are you watching?
Xia Shiyu slipped into the blanket, held her chin up with her hands, and lied beside Jiang Chen.

Joseph Kennedy’s declaration for the presidential election.
Jiang Chen dragged the holographic screen toward Xia Shiyu.

Kennedy?
Xia Shiyu was surprised and confused by the name,
The fabled Kennedy?

Yes, the cursed name,
Jiang Chen looked at the man who waved to his supporters on the holographic screen; a sly smile suddenly formed on this face.
What do you think if I pushed this cursed man onto the president’s throne, will it be interesting?


As if you have a cote.
Xia Shiyu rolled her eyes, turned around, and muttered,
you can keep watching, I’m going to sleep first.


Hey, wife, it’s not good to sleep so early.
Jiang Chen sent a message to the Ghost Agents, turned off the screen, and extended his arm to surround her smooth shoulder. As he looked at the earlobe that gradually turn red, he whispered into her ear.
Didn’t we agree that we were going to continue what we didn’t finish in the bathroom.

The redness extended all the way to her neck, the word
wife
poked into her soft spot as Xia Shiyu turned soft.
Although she knew that the word didn’t just apply to her, at least for now, even if it was only now, he only held her…

…
If the nightmare of long-distance travel was jet lag, then the nightmare of a trip to the Moon was never knowing if the time difference was right. Of course, compared to the stunning view of the trip, this nightmare was only a small inconvenience.
A day on the Moon was equivalent to 27.3 Earth days and a day and night were two weeks long. Looking at the Sun that just rose into the sky, Jiang Chen yawned and wondered if he should create a new calendar for Celestial Trade’s colonies.
For example, all Celestial Trade colonies, regardless of the orbital period, must use the Earth calendar and Xin time zone. Or adopt a double-time format…
Today, he must make a trip 100 kilometers north of Lunar City.
After a one-and-a-half-month training period on Coro Island, the recruits of the Earth Defense Alliance arrived on the Moon by transport ships. Half of the three-months training period passed, and the remaining one and a half months would be spent on the Moon for low gravity environment adaptation training.
Although without any weapons, these volunteer soldiers were also combatants, and certainly couldn’t be stationed in Lunar City.
In order to house the future officers of the Earth Fleet, Celestial Trade built a military base to be used as the training facility.
The military base on the Moon was not completed until a month ago. At present, in addition to the 500 volunteer soldiers in the military base, another 1,000 reserve crew members were also stationed here.
The purpose of Jiang Chen’s trip was to greet the future officers of the Earth Fleet while he inspected the military base.
Simply put, a military parade.
The tires lifted the Moondust. Jiang Chen gazed at the unchanged crater outside the window and yawned in boredom. At first, he thought the scenery on the Moon was very fascinating, now, he was already bored of it.
Two hours passed since departure.
Xia Shiyu sat next to him. She was also bored with the same scenery outside and began to inspect the inside of the car. When her eyes stopped on the thermometer on the armrest of the seat, she gasped in shock.

It is already 90 degrees outside?

Jiang Chen smiled at Xia Shiyu’s reaction.

It’s not that bad. This is not the hottest time of the day. At noon, the surface temperature on the equator line can reach 127 degrees.


That hot?!


What do you think? Why else do you think the building of Lunar City is painted white?


…I thought it was for appearances.
Xia Shiyu blushed, then she whispered,
If we get off the vehicle, we’ll be roasted.

The term
roasted
almost made Jiang Chen laugh out loud.
He didn’t expect this unserious term to come out of Xia Shiyu’s mouth.

127 degrees is the surface temperature,
looking at Xia Shiyu’s boots, Jiang Chen said,
As long as you don’t lose your boots, you don’t have to worry.

Of course, they still must change into professional gear before they exit the vehicle.
The three-hour drive was finally over, and the lunar rover parked outside the military base.
In the locker room inside the rover, Jiang Chen and Xia Shiyu changed into heavy spacesuits. After confirming the spacesuit’s functionality, under the guidance of the staff, they entered through the hatch and stepped onto the surface of the Moon.
The moment when Xia Shiyu feet stepped on the Moon, she seemed to have forgotten her identity as CEO and like a child, she jumped up in excitement.
Jiang Chen smiled as he watched Xia Shiyu enjoy the amazing moment.
Such childish behavior was certainly a rare scene.
However, as she enjoyed
flying
on the Moon, she lost control and flipped in the air. She then landed face first and rolled onto the ground.
Jiang Chen looked at Xia Shiyu’s tragic fall and chuckled.
He was not gloating, he just thought the fall was too… too cute.
Jiang Chen hopped up and extended his legs straight to drift by her, then he grinned and pulled her up from the ground.

I told you to be careful. Now you just made fun of yourself.

Although he couldn’t see Xia Shiyu’s face through the dark mask, based on his understanding of her, she must be blushing, biting her lower lip, and feeling embarrassed…
