亞倫·金博爾总统(英文名:President Aaron Kimball)是2281年新加州共和国的现任总统。作为一名忠诚的公民和退役的功勋将军(新加州共和国陆军),金博尔利用他的军旅生涯和战争英雄身份在新加州共和国的政治阶梯上爬到了顶端。在2273年间,他成为中樞市的代表。后来,在同一年,金博尔罢免了现任总统温德尔·彼得森,成为新加州共和国的总统,并在2278年连任。金博尔在政治问题上的强硬立场确保了他的地位,尽管他失败了,比如对莫哈韋廢土的长达七年吞并的莫哈韦战役。[2]
背景[]
出生在2232或2233年,[1] 亞倫·金博爾是一名被授勋的战争英雄和新加州共和國軍隊的退休将军。他对2269年中的内华达山脉部落和2270中的牛头城周围的莫哈韦地区发动了迅速而严厉的军事行动,从而使他声名鹊起。[Non-game 1]这是为了报复在2253年中对NCR公民展开的袭击。他的行为为他赢得了"莫哈韦英雄"的称号,并从坦蒂总统的的继任者那里获得了自由。[3][4]
作为一名忠诚的公民和退役的功勋将军(新加州共和国陆军),金博尔利用他的军旅生涯和战争英雄身份在新加州共和国的政治阶梯上爬到了顶端。在2273年中,他成为中樞市的代表。后来,在同一年,金博尔罢免了现任的温德尔·彼得森,成为新加州共和国的总统,并在2278年连任。金博尔在政治问题上的强硬立场确保了他的地位,尽管他失败了,比如对莫哈韋廢土的长达七年吞并的莫哈韦战役。[Non-game 2]
在2273年间,金博尔从军队退役,开始从政。由于他的英雄地位和对部落的强硬态度,他获得了广泛的民众支持。他竞选国会议员席位很成功。上任不到两个月,温德尔·彼得森被投票罢免,金博尔当选,成为新加州共和国的第五任总统。[Non-game 1][5]他上任后的第一件事就是在2274年命令占领胡佛大坝,这一行动导致了新维加斯条约的建立,将清洁的水和大坝95%的电力输送到新加州和NCR城市,使他在公民中的声望飙升。[Non-game 1][6][7][8]
事实证明,金博尔的受欢迎程度持久不衰,反动的暗流更是助长了这种势头。甚至推翻了旨在限制个人拥有的牛头数量和土地面积的法律,允许畜牧业协会和共和党农民委员会变得更加强大,实质上创造了所谓的婆罗门男爵和农业大亨,也没有玷污他的声誉。[Non-game 3]然而,真正让他蒙羞的是,在长达7年的时间里,政府未能吞并莫哈韦,耗尽了资源、资源和生命,使它成为金博尔总统长期以来的政治尴尬。到了2281年,金博尔的政治生涯取决于对莫哈韦和新維加斯的迅速吞并。作为NCR介入内华达州的象征,金博尔对共和国进一步向东扩张至关重要。他的死可能会激怒共和国,巩固NCR对莫哈韦的占领和金博尔作为烈士的遗产。[9][Non-game 4][Non-game 5][Non-game 6]
金博尔的总统任期将受到与兄弟会和掠夺者的冲突的进一步挑战,这些冲突对驻扎在莫哈韦和其他地方的军队造成了损失。金博尔决定派遣最有经验的游骑兵去巴哈"追逐鬼魂",同时派遣应征入伍的士兵到莫哈韦的严酷沙漠中作战,这一决定很快开始塑造他的形象,将他个人与莫哈韦战役联系在一起。军队和补给通过15號公路的难度越来越大,以及NCR理事会坚持将资金转移到晒骨场,导致NCR对莫哈韦的控制处于不稳定的地位。[10]此外,他对莫哈韦项目的一心一意已经耗尽了公众对他的政府的支持。[11]NCR的人民,一开始就被告知在莫哈韦的胜利很容易,现在已经厌倦了战争的漫长时间和高昂的生命和物资成本。
尽管NCR在莫哈韦的统治使金博尔的新天定命运和回归旧世界美国价值观的目标得到了早期的广泛支持,但这将受到新来者的挑战:凯撒军团。军团经常采取的野蛮战术和在没有明显收益的情况下所遭受的巨大损失使内华达和新加州的民众开始质疑战争的意义。然而,金博爾坚持继续战役,并投入了大量的政府资金和退伍军人与军团作战,导致战役被戏称为“金博爾的战争”,胜利或失败的后果极大地影响了金博爾的整个职业生涯和作为一个整体的NCR。[12][13]
个性[]
金博尔的性格可以用"战争鹰派"来准确地概括。在卡珊德拉·摩尔上校和李·奥利弗将军的支持下,金博尔总统坚定地认为应扩大NCR范围,并采取任何必要手段将新的领土纳入版图,无论是胡佛大坝还是巴哈。这种立场,以及对损失的漠视,是漢隆首席,大坝的第一次胜利的设计者与总统最大的矛盾之一。金博尔作为一名将军比作为一名政治家更受人喜爱,因为在那里,他僵硬、专制的领导风格更为合适。
凯撒赞赏总统积极进取的性格和对部落的政策,但不赞成他必须处理共和国民主制度对他设置的障碍。[14]此外,凯撒特别想要暗杀金博尔的事实充分说明了他对金博尔在NCR领导结构中的重要性以及他对NCR士气的重要性的估计。
尤利西斯对汉隆首席的尊重远远超过对金博尔的尊重,认为与之相比,他是弱者,只拥有"汉隆所拥有的一半生命",即使如此,也只是因为信使帮助了他。[15]

任务[]
玩家行动的影响[]
- 如果信使站在军团一边,凯撒亲自命令他们在金博尔总统来胡佛大坝发表演讲时暗杀他。取决于信使的努力是否成功,金博尔要么按照凯撒的意图死去,要么逃跑,激怒了凯撒。
- 如果信使站在NCR一边,他们就会和格兰特游骑兵一起为金博尔总统的演讲提供安全保障。金博尔要么按计划完成演讲并离开,要么在可能的暗杀行动发生时匆忙赶往他的私人垂直飛行機,以缩短演讲时间,这取决于演讲的完成情况。
- 如果信使站在豪斯先生一边,豪斯就派他们去胡佛大坝,在金博尔总统访问期间保护他。豪斯认为,如果金博尔死了,他将成为NCR参议院鹰派分子的殉道者。然而,如果他活了下来,而新民主联盟输掉了竞选,他将被指责为代价高昂和耻辱的失败。在获得胡佛大坝的胜利后,豪斯得意地指出,他和信使现在对金博尔没什么好害怕的了- "他会忙着被赶下台。"[16]
- 如果信使在访问期间未能保护金博尔总统,金博尔将被凯撒的特工暗杀。

金博爾在胡佛大壩的演講[]
沃特森出生在独松镇郊区的一间铁皮棚屋里,他从出生至今就没有拥有过舒适的生活。他的父亲,是一位行走与小圆环商路上的商队保镖,而他的母亲,则是一个常见的加州“寻宝者”,在旧世界的废墟中勇敢地探索着。水源的缺乏、强盗的袭击,再加上NCR-兄弟会之战,苦难从未停止过折磨他的家人,但他们却像那高耸的内华达山脉一样,默默地忍受着这些雨打风吹。十二年前,他们终于不愿意再独自背负生活的重担——共和国收到了他们的求助,接纳他们成为了这个大家庭的新成员。
男人和女人,游骑兵和士兵,许许多多的人和你们一样,响应了这战争号角的召唤,许下了“我将永远肩负责任”的誓言。在欧文湖之战中,我们坚守了承诺,赶走了强盗的部族,在内华达山脉以东建立了长久的和平。我们永远肩负责任,尽管有很多兄弟姐妹们不幸倒在了战场之上,但没有什么,能让我们放下责任,背弃承诺。”曾有几位退伍老兵问我:“我们到底为什么而战?内华达对我们来说又意味着什么?”我想说,在有些时候,我们忘记了那早已超越了国界,由共和国社会制度所散发的耀眼光芒;有些时候,我们把这和平美好的生活当做理所当然的事情,而忘却了共和国先烈们的艰苦斗争。我们必须时刻牢记什么才是共和国的基石,共和国的原则始终与我们同在:平等,民主,以及一个正义的共和法制。这正是长存与人们心中,自旧世界燃烧至今的希望之火。我们是人类文明的继承者,我们是太平洋东岸的火炬手,我们注定要把光明带给这黑暗的废土世界。
当共和国号召加州同胞们把文明之火带到莫哈维荒漠之时,吉尔米·沃特森就像你们一样,响应了她的号召。你们一起肩负起了这责任的重担。当一等兵沃特森的连队在敢死隊营地遭到攻击时,他们冒着极大的危险坚持战斗——不仅仅是为了加州同袍而战,更是为了共和国而战。他们做好了在战斗中壮烈牺牲的准备,只是为了保卫共和国的原则——甚至在这属于内华达的土地上。”就在不久之前,为了兑现我们对沙漠游骑兵的承诺,又有许多共和国的优秀儿女倒在了这片荒漠之上。为了纪念他们,一座新的纪念碑在巨石城落成了。在纪念碑的背面,刻着那些为了责任而英勇牺牲的士兵、游骑兵的名字。正是他们的壮烈牺牲,才让我们没有在这争夺水坝的战争中失败。
自四年之前,我们控制了这座水坝;自四年之前,我们肩负起了责任的重担。自四年之前,我们在莫哈维建立一条如同科罗拉多河般坚不可摧的防线,一条暴君凯撒永远也突破不了的防线。今天,你们站在这里,和袍泽们一起守卫着这条防线;今天,所有的加州父老都为你们肩负的责任而骄傲;今天,你们就是那太平洋上的巨浪,永不停歇的向东边传播着人性、文明的浪潮!你们就像那马德雷山脉之上的红杉树,在凄风苦雨中傲然挺立!你们是来自西方加州的希望之光,你们是蒙昧黑暗中高举文明火炬的火炬手!你们站在那里,就是共和国最优秀的楷模!
感谢你们!感谢大家!

注释[]
- 仔细观察金博尔在胡佛大坝的演讲,你会发现他的嘴唇一动不动。
- 问豪斯先生为什么他有兴趣在访问期间保护亚伦·金博尔的生命,这将导致豪斯解释,他只是想让金博尔活着,这样他就可以成为他的国家的替罪羊,在豪斯把NCR赶出新维加斯之后,把责任推给他的国家,而不是成为他吞并该地区这一显然不受欢迎的事业的殉道者。这将防止新维加斯被置于NCR贸易禁运之下,或者更糟的是,对它宣战。
- 丹尼斯·克罗克和许上校各自的办公室里都有金博尔总统的画像。金博尔的肖像损毁版也出现在NCR惩戒所的监狱长办公室里,该监狱已被艾迪和炸藥幫接管;"亚伦·金博尔总统"也被换成了"桃子"。
- 他不能被扒窃,即使使用隐形小子偷偷接近他。
- 即使在离开NCR军队多年后,金博尔仍然留着短发,明显的"军人"发型,并保持着鹰派的政治立场。
- 这种发型可以在创建或定制信使时选择,被称为"军士"。
- 亚伦·金博尔总统在死钱]的第一幕中被伊利亞神父提到。这可以在通过无线电频率743.00Hz ULF窃听伊利亚时听到。[17]

2253: "President Tibbett is removed from office by a vote of no confidence following her "timid" response to the massacre of 38 NCR citizens at the hands of Mojave raiders. Her replacement, President Wendell Peterson, orders three battalions of NCR infantry into the Mojave."
2273 "Aaron Kimball retires from the NCR military and runs for office as one of Hub's political representatives (or "governors," as Hub idiosyncratically calls them). Less than two months into his term, Wendell Peterson is voted out of office and Aaron Kimball becomes the NCR's next President."
(Fallout: New Vegas Official Game Guide/Behind the Bright Lights & Big City) - ↑ Fallout: New Vegas Official Game Guide Collector's Edition p. 456: "Controversy over Economic Development
The NCR's economy is based on two resources: its great Brahmin herds, and swaths of land that have been restored to arable condition. These provide the nation with meat, leather, and starchy vegetables. During President Tandi's presidency, regulations limited the number of cattle head and the acreage of fields that could be owned by a single person. Despite constant pressure from the Stockmen's Association and Republican Farmer's Committee, such regulations loosened only a little so long as Tandi was in office. Following her death, however, they eroded until President Kimball overturned them completely.
As a result, the past 12 years have seen the rise of the Brahmin Barons and Agri-Barons: captains of industry who are, by post-apocalyptic standards, spectacularly wealthy. This has given birth to a number of cottage industries, from the rebirth of luxury goods production to "journalism" that reports on the latest purchases, commissions, and "life lessons" of the newly rich and famous."
(Fallout: New Vegas Official Game Guide/Behind the Bright Lights & Big City) - ↑ Fallout: New Vegas Official Game Guide Collector's Edition p. 457: "Civic Militarism
Under Kimball's regime rhetoric promoting the patriotism and heroism of the NCR's armed forces has been constant, but the actual reputation of the military has worsened somewhat. While it is still regarded as an honorable profession, economic conditions driving citizens who might previously have eked by to enlist have tarnished the military's luster. To make matters worse, the NCR's expedition to the Mojave has failed to annex New Vegas, and soldiers struggle with the difficult climate and being so far from home for extended periods of service."
(Fallout: New Vegas Official Game Guide/Behind the Bright Lights & Big City) - ↑ Fallout: New Vegas Official Game Guide Collector's Edition p. 458: "Controversy over the Vegas Frontier
The NCR spread east into Nevada in large numbers just five years ago on a "humanitarian mission" to "bring the light of civilization to the savage wastes of the Mojave." Hoover Dam was the symbol of the expedition-reports from the Followers of the Apocalypse had confirmed that it was still intact as early as 2170-and its occupation by NCR troops in 2274 was a celebrated event. Even more exciting was the restarting of the dam's hydroelectric plant eleven months later, which dramatically improved the access of many NCR citizens to electricity and water.
Since then, most of the news has been bad. Skirmishes with local tribes and the first battle for Hoover Dam have cost the lives of more than 400 of the NCR's soldiers and civilians. Until the oft-promised annexation of New Vegas becomes a reality, the government continues to spend much of its budget on "safeguarding the region" while in return receiving not one Cap in tax revenue. The expedition has proved to be an enduring, low-intensity political embarrassment for President Kimball.
Among NCR citizens, the most common political attitude is impatience. They want Vegas annexed; they want it over with. Most expect that this will finally occur once Caesar's Legion has been "beat for good." Opposition to the Vegas occupation amounts to a vocal minority, and of these, most oppose it as a waste of lives and tax caps. The more radical opinion that the expedition amounts to the imperialist subjugation of an unwilling territory is seen as unpatriotic: the kind of pap spouted by the good-for-nothing agitators like those Followers of the Apocalypse."
(Fallout: New Vegas Official Game Guide/Behind the Bright Lights & Big City) - ↑ Fallout: New Vegas Official Game Guide Collector's Edition p. 457: "Equality
By law, the NCR prohibits persecution and discrimination on the basis of gender, ethnicity, sexuality, or religious belief (so long as said religion does not advocate violence). Legal protection of Ghouls and other mutants was added in 2205, though enforcement of these rights has been spotty. For the most part, the NCR's practices live up to its ideals, but there has been some retrenchment since the death of President Tandi. Aaron Kimball's popularity was amplified by a reactionary undercurrent, especially among males, calling out a need for a "strong man" to lead the NCR forward. In the years since Kimball took office, male military officers have been promoted disproportionately to females, and discourse arguing the differences between males and females has reappeared."
