[War] US: Wo henhao

[John Penta]

"Wo Henhao"
8 March 2014
President John Williams
USA
==================
<Washington>

It had taken a long two years, but John Williams had finally cracked
the code of Mandarin. Or so the language had seemed to the President.

Finally, though, something had cracked during his last few sessions
with the teacher from the State Department, and now he was watching
everything he could from either side of the Taiwan Strait, and reading
what he could in Chinese - a much harder endeavor.

But he'd pulled it off, and he listened closely to CCTV. His own
pronunciations were hardly perfect, but his accent had decreased from
Thick to Moderately Hong Konger, reflecting the background of his
teacher.

The tests had rated him at Speaking 3, Listening 3, Reading 2, Writing
2 last time, about 3 months ago. Not bad. But this time, he actually
felt like he *knew* the language.

Now to prepare for the summit in Vladivostok. Thus, the murder board
in 10 minutes...

A sigh, as Luke cried and Kay went to get him.

Some days, he didn't want to be President, just a dad. A husband. Normal.

Oh, that'd never happen. Back to summit prep!
