Chapter 55 Committee Meetings
Lincoln High School's largest Lincoln Round Table Hall.
This is definitely the most noble room in Lincoln High School, because it was built in 1976 to follow the trend of those private high schools, so that high school students in this school can understand the world from a more intuitive perspective.
International Strategy Simulation Club, a school organization that tries to allow students to act as representatives of various countries, expound their own suggestions and exchange opinions on an international affairs, and exercise their abilities.
However, the public high school did not figure out a problem, that is, the high school students in this school are not interested in this kind of simulated topic activities at all, and most of them drop out of school without even getting a diploma. Start a third world war?
Many public high school students don’t want to talk about simulation, and even let them find the country they simulated on the globe. If the font is not big enough, they can’t find it.
Think about it, sitting in this room with a dazed face, and the instructor throws you a document, which says that you will simulate the German Prime Minister and face a group of students who simulate the leaders of the United States, the Soviet Union and other countries. Is it more fun to express your opinion on the cold war situation in the world, or go out for a drive with the girl you love?
Ten times, they'll make the right choice, girl.
Even going to the gymnasium to participate in sports activities, and by the way watching the cheerleading girls of the school not far away wearing cool team uniforms to rehearse and dance, it makes them feel happier than sitting in the conference hall.
In 1979, a high school student at Lincoln High School used spray paint to leave a sentence on the door of the conference hall, which is so classic that it can be written into the history of philosophy: "Simulation cannot make us fall in love with politics, but * * can!"
Although the school was cleaned up quickly, it did not prevent the later students of Lincoln High School from remembering this sentence and expressing their attitude towards political games.
Now this long-vacant meeting room is open again, and an important meeting of the CSLS committee is being held.
In front of the huge round conference table that accommodates 20 people, Tommy Hawke stands at the main seat, with his fingertips resting on the table, looking around at the people who have found their seats at the moment:
"If you have any questions about this summer camp, you are free to ask."
Several people glanced at each other, and the fat David wearing glasses was the first to speak: "David Schafer, Georgia State, uh... I have a question, the committee of this kind of organization is usually composed of the school and the promoters, we I am just a student, why would I become a committee member? Of course, I am honored, but I am even more curious."
"Because my committee seems to be very empty now, including the instructor, that is, Miss Farrell who made you boys look straight, there are only four people. I need other people to help maintain the normal operation of this summer camp. After all, there are still fifty-three students in the first batch except everyone." Tommy Hawke said frankly.
"It's really nothing new. Just as I guessed, arrange a seemingly high-level title, and then let me do unpaid labor. I often use this trick with black students in Georgia." David Shaffer shrugged, not surprised at all. Said.
Frank Grillo looked at Tommy Hawke and shrugged: "I am happy to help others, and my mother always said to help others, but I have to call and tell my mother first, she doesn't like me doing something she doesn't know. love activity."
"Hahahahaha~" Kevin Niepfen laughed loudly, his voice full of sarcasm: "Frank Grillo, your words remind me of the state league and your coach wants to call home for you Ask your mother for instructions and get approval before taking you to the post-match dinner."
"Shut up, Kane Niepfen, don't force me to break your waist." Frank shouted.
"Okay, come on!" Kevin opened the seat and was about to get up.
"Communicate like adults, everyone, or I have the right to expel you from the summer camp. By the way, according to the contract, when you are expelled for personal reasons, you will not get a refund." Tommy Hawk saw The two were about to argue again, they lightly clasped the table with their knuckles, and said coldly, "If you insist on giving up your places, and let me earn two more high school students' money, I'd love it."
Seeing the two sitting back and not speaking anymore, Tommy Hawk stared at the two for a few seconds before speaking: "Continue with the question just now."
"My mother said to be a well-behaved and popular girl. If I could help everyone, I would be willing." Zoe Winters said with a smile.
Catherine Nahn observed her brightly painted nails and said without raising her head: "I'm not interested in managing some difficult guys. I just want to talk to the head of state and get the resume I need, because I You should study political science in college."
"I just need all kinds of sports results." Chris Ferguson took off his cowboy hat, revealing his long brown hair. He shook his head, as if talking to himself: "Although I don't know, I just want to major in mathematics. , why do you have to get a bunch of sports scores before you can apply to those prestigious schools, if you can get excellent grades as a committee member, I don't mind."
Seeing that Stephen Bean had no intention of speaking, but just looked at himself and made a continuing movement, Tommy Hawke said:
"You will get what you pay for. Your competition results will be very good. Since you are here, you naturally know the quality of this kind of summer camp. I also know your needs. It is nothing more than a dazzling array of results on paper. So first of all, you will understand this. To be satisfied first. The second point is that you will get a joint recommendation letter from the founder of the summer camp organizing committee and the principal of the founding school, which will praise your sense of responsibility and great dedication. The last point is that you have priority appointment rights for the government affairs simulation of the summer camp. Yes, within an hour of your arrival in that country, you can become the national police chief, foreign minister, education minister, sports minister or whatever, and then you have the right to appoint fifty who have not joined the committee Three high school students become your subordinates, and your extra rewards include, the real police chief of that country, the foreign minister, etc., that is, the real owner of the position you experienced, will give a recommendation at the end Letter, this is the treatment that fifty-three high school students do not have." Tommy Hawke looked around the crowd calmly:
"If you are sure that you are not interested, you can bring it up now. I will change a group of people to sit in your current position and serve me. Then you wait to be led by them."
"I join, the poor are hard to resist the temptation." David Shaffer heard Tommy Hawke's words, and he was the first to change his words: "I hope to serve as the country's Secretary of the Interior."
Several other people, including Stephen Bean, showed eager expressions, and Kevin Niepfen raised his hand: "It's interesting, Minister of Sports Affairs, I can teach people in that country what sports competition is."
"Does their country lack a queen? I can reluctantly accept their kneeling." Catherine thought for a while and said to Tommy Hawke.
Tommy Hawk looked at Catherine, shrugged and said, "No, unfortunately, they regard the Queen of England as their leader."
"Then can I be Minister of Defense or Commander of the Armed Forces? I want to lead my troops to overthrow her and the British rule, and replace me, Queen Catherine, with the crown." Catherine thought for a while and gave her own thoughts.
Tommy Hawke nodded: "The position of Minister of Defense and Commander of the Armed Forces is yours, Her Majesty, but I personally don't think you can lead two hundred reserve militiamen across the Atlantic to England within seven days of the summer camp experience." Mishima, kill Britain and its Queen, though the whole nation of that country may be grateful if you do it."
"I can do anything." Zoe smiled sweetly at Tommy: "I will do whatever I need."
"I think their country must need a foreign minister who is as beautiful as you, elegant and willing to consider others." Tommy Hawke also laughed and said to Zoe.
"Uh...I'm thinking about it," Frank responded.
Although this guy looks fierce in appearance, he can feel that his temper is actually very docile when communicating, as long as Kevin doesn't provoke him.
Shifting his gaze from Frank to the cowboy's head, Tommy asked, "Very well, Chris, do you have a job you want?"
"Positions related to numbers and probability." Chris took out a cigarette: "Can I have one? I have turned eighteen."
"Yes, but it's best not to be in front of girls. We can go out and smoke later, so the Minister of Finance or the Minister of International Trade, or the Minister of Taxation?"
Chris puts away his cigarette: "Minister of Revenue."
"Shit! I was supposed to be the Minister of Revenue, but I was attracted by the name of the interior minister. Can we talk about how to avoid tax collection? Chris? I have been studying this issue since I was thirteen years old." David - Schaffer regretted that he didn't expect this position, then looked at Chris Ferguson and asked.
"Mr. Stephen, do you want to say something?"
Stephen Binn clenched his left hand to cover his lips, hesitated for a few seconds before speaking: "May I ask, how did you choose us?"
"Because the information of the seven of you is arranged at the top, I didn't choose it." Tommy Hawke said.
Stephen Bean shrugged: "It's a frank answer, then the Minister of Finance and Minister of International Trade? After all, I think everyone here may not know as much about money as I do. By the way, I am going to study at Stanford University. After finishing the humanities, graduate students will go to the business school, which can just increase some subject experience.”
"You've already been admitted in advance, why are you coming to this kind of summer camp that is obviously just to coax those college admissions officers?" David Shafer said with a face full of shock: "Fucking Stanford!"
"Waiting is a bit boring, find a summer camp to pass the time." Stephen smiled brightly.
Kevin asked: "Waiting to report to the university?"
"When my grandfather dies, he will inherit his inheritance." Stephen said.
Tommy Hawke flipped through Stephen Bean's resume in front of him: "Man, it says that you got admission to Stanford University in advance by virtue of your ability, and you are from Harvard Westlake High School in Los Angeles. What ability did you rely on to do it?" Arrived? International awards in sports or art?"
Others also looked at Stephen Bean curiously.
Stephen enjoyed the feeling of being watched by everyone. After feeling it for a few seconds, he said, "Because my father was a trustee of Stanford University, the Binn family donates to Stanford University every year."
"What the **** is it called personal ability?" David Shafer almost wrote the words envy, jealousy, and hatred directly on his face.
Stephen leaned back and opened his hands towards the poor ghosts: "This ability is called luck, man, luck can make people have a good pregnancy."
"Although I need a beating, but what I said is really **** reasonable." David Shafer said depressed.
Tommy Hawke said: "I want to remind everyone that you will leave for St. Vincent one day earlier than other students to serve as national dignitaries, and get familiar with the work you are responsible for as soon as possible, and when you perform your duties, the real officials of St. Vincent will serve as monitors Guide and observe everyone's working ability. Each person needs to manage eight subordinate students, take care of them and arrange their work arrangements. Although this summer camp has helped you purchase short-term accident insurance, I still don't want to see any accidents happen. "
"What if there are problems?" Zoe asked: "Some problems, I mean there may always be unexpected things."
"If you can't figure it out by yourself, you can report to the Prime Minister of St. Vincent for the next seven days, Tommy Hawke."
"Frank, it's time for you to make a decision, whether to join or I will change..." After finishing speaking, Tommy looked at Frank.
"Wait for me." Frank stood up: "Where is the phone?"
A few boys except Kevin Niepfen stood under the paulownia tree while smoking and looked at Frank who was making a phone call in the distance, while two girls, led by Otilia, visited the campus.
The first batch of students will officially arrive at Lincoln High School tomorrow, and then gather and set off for St. Vincent. A professor named Gavin Ladd from Princeton University has made a clear arrangement that he will not participate in the first half of the activities in St. Vincent. Instead, he attended the second half of the summer summit at Lincoln High School. As for another unknown professor, he still has not given a definite reply. The only reply is that if he attends, he will not receive any compensation.
But Tommy is not interested in guessing the other party's reaction. Now the school's account actually has more than 200 high school students paying for the summer camp. Whether Princeton is hot-headed or helpful, the money is real.
"I can't believe it, summer camp activities have to ask his mother, and my dead ghost daddy started borrowing money from me to buy alcohol when I was 13 years old." David Shafer blew out his cigarette **** and said.
In the distance, Frank's voice on the phone is coming faintly:
"Mom, I've been selected to serve on the CSLS Board, and St. Vincent's Special Forces Commander and Prison Warden and Coast Guard and Interior Force Commander."
"It's not a church organization, it's the arrangement of the summer camp. I'm responsible for ensuring the safety of the summer camp and providing them with all-round protection."
"Not all of them protect me, I take my men to protect them, yes, I also believe that I am competent, I know mom, I love you."
“My mom said, she agreed.”
Seeing Frank hang up the phone, Tommy Hawke said to several people: "I think the CSLS committee is the first to have a nickname, BigBaby Frank."
