Late at night.
The celebration of the outside world gradually subsided, and the Li's apartment in xichongcheng was ablaze with lights.
In fact, just after the fund-raising meeting, Li and Mary rushed home as soon as possible because they had to meet a large number of guests.
Not only business partners, but also good friends from Congress.
Roosevelt's new term had just begun, and it was the same for others.
There are a lot of things to do for the speaker of the Congress and the party leaders.
However, they are happy to have a drink at Li Zitao's house at this time.
They're in New York, aren't they?
"It's wonderful that the Republican Party is his stepping stone again." In the open bar of the apartment, someone is complaining about the recent election.
Roosevelt was not expected to be re elected, the Republican Party once again served as a runner, it is a glorious mission.
"But we're very close, aren't we?" Some balding middle-aged people laugh at themselves.
"Close" refers to the number of votes in the latest election. The difference between the two sides is only more than 2 million.
Compared with the previous 5 million, 9 million and 4 million, it is indeed a kind of progress, which can at least be used for self comfort.
"Don't tell me the number, because it only reminds me of failure." When Sid's face was not good, it was like swallowing a fly.
When Sid was on Capitol Hill, the former State Senate speaker was now the whip of the Republican Party.
The party whip is equivalent to the second leader of a party, and only the party leader is above him.
Of course, there are still speakers on the Capitol Hill, and then it's the party leader's turn. They are also the speaker's assistants.
But as the whip of the party, dangster is as important as Mount Tai in the Republican Party.
"And thanks for your donation, Charlie." When it comes to the campaign, when Stein expressed gratitude to him on behalf of the Republican Party.
Before the election, Li provided $200000 in political cash to the Republican National Committee, which has become the norm.
However, in the voting, Li did not exert any influence or pressure on his staff.
It's not the time yet. Votes are the lifeblood of politicians.
It's too fragile, sensitive and dangerous. Li Zitao doesn't want to abuse it until its security is uncertain.
It's not only a pity to kill a chicken with a knife, but it's easy to get hurt by it.
"Don't mention it. I'm a Republican... I don't even have a piece of paper." Li Zitao clapped his legs and laughed.
"Hey, man, you can't talk about that all the time." When steed looked at him innocently, he showed that it had nothing to do with him.
is also true. Discrimination against minorities is not his has the final say.
It's a normal thing in America. It's a common problem in our life...
No, it's not even a problem.
Because in the eyes of at least half of the white people, minorities should not exist, as if they were born less than them.
Within Congress and government, there are not a few who share the same idea.
In other words, it is impossible to achieve what he wants at present.
And they are picky women.
In the last second, I will wave the flag for you, as if you are the Savior of all things, the Almighty God.
The next second, if you don't meet their requirements, or if you make a little mistake, such as failing to make a promise, even if it's just a little bit short, a little bit...
congratulations, the voters who supported you before will spit at you in front of you and yell at "you damned blue pool."
Yes, this is the truest aspect of America's simple voters.
And when they find that they are the object to be flattered, the demand becomes more and more fierce, and makes their face changing tricks useless.
"The Chinese Association is working hard for it. You have to do something... My friend." "They are my compatriots," Li said earnestly
In fact, Li Zitao lied.
This matter is not simply related to the feelings of compatriots, or Li Zitao's sense of belonging and so on.
More importantly, interests and rights.
No matter what he thinks in his heart, he has done too many things he shouldn't have done and taken many risks that he shouldn't have taken.
Now, that's enough.
And what he values more now, as mentioned earlier, are interests and rights.
This is the thought and consciousness that a mature capitalist should have. It represents the good side and indicates that he is moving towards a more mature stage.
Just think about it. Once we can break the solid iron wall of the Anti China act, the reputation alone will make him a hero in the eyes of a few people.
If they had the right to vote, only a small number of employees in Li's company would have increased by 50000 to 80000 votes.Influence, for him, is the means to control power.
Power will not be directly in his hands, but through votes and money, he can control the people who hold the power, and finally hold the power in his hands.
Everyone knows it's not easy.
Li Zitao didn't even expect to make it in the middle of this century. It was a big good news that he could be a few years earlier than he thought.
If it had been 80 or 90 years earlier, then the blue pool, the goddess of fortune, must have waved her fingers after she fell asleep.
"Come on, Charlie. You know I can't When Sid shook his head dejectedly, there was nothing he could do about it.
What should he do with half or even more voters in the country?
Ignore their wishes and ideas, just to be a good person.
Come on, there's enough good people in the world. There's no need for a nobody named dangster.
It's better to give God to save the world. Don't try to rob him of his job.
"Hey, what are you two talking about? We're going to play cards. Do you want to join us?" Distant senators and gentlemen are planning to have some fun.
"Here we are." Li Zitao raised his hand, looked at donstead with a smile and said, "you can treat me as if I didn't say anything and play cards."
As for the boredom of the Midnight Party, Li Zitao can only say "sorry" to the members and gentlemen, because the children are here, he can only arrange this way.
He can't take the risk that the kids wake up in the morning and see bras everywhere and their long legs missing in their pants. It's not a good idea.
"We have to add some chips, OK?" The senator proposed to have some fun in the game.
"What?" Asked the shuffler.
"Jefferson dance tickets, two." The former member put two tickets on the table.
"Ho, I think I have to work on it." Said the shuffler, taking off his watch.
"Rolex." Look up with pride.
"I guess it's the seized dirt." When steed picked up his watch and said jokingly.
Then put the dial carefully in front of you, as if you found something.
"What?" Previous members were surprised by his seriousness.
"It's labor soil. You should keep it as a memorial." Put the watch on the table when steed was teasing.
"Labor soil, this will be a shadow of his life..." Mary sat in front of the dressing table, picking the right necklace from the jewelry box.
Thinking of "labor land," Mary could not help but turn her eyes to the sign of the ornament, worried that "Van Claude" or "tizini" would suddenly appear
Li Zitao didn't answer the question. In fact, the card game last night was a bit embarrassing. A "labor force soil" made everyone lose their mood.
After drinking, the senators left in a haze.
That face made Li Zitao laugh to himself. No matter who gave it to him, the guy would have bad luck next.
Don't think big people will be very sensitive to brands. For them, these things are just daily needs, so they won't care so much.
It's just that you can take it when you need it, and that piece of "labor soil" is perfectly imitated, which makes the joke of last night.
"Ma'am, the car is ready." Seeing the door driving, frandy came into the room and whispered.
"Here we are." Mary chose a three row pearl necklace.
The deep color of black pearls sets off her black fishtail evening dress. Her hair is coiled in a bun. It looks noble and mysterious.
"Perfect." I like the shape of my wife and they leave together.
Today, there is a drama performance in school. Mary is going to see the children's performance, and Li Zitao is going to fly to Washington.
The DOD contract needs to be finalized by him in person, and the orders are ready.
In front of the apartment and his wife respectively, Li Zitao got on the car with a little bit of interest and was not satisfied.
If he had been two years earlier, even half a year, he would not have done so.
But it's April 45. If you remember correctly, at the end of this month, moustache took his lover and committed suicide together.
Then NC formally surrendered, and the Allies focused on the Pacific battlefield, pressing Japan home step by step.
At this time, the orders of the Ministry of national defense had to be reduced by several times compared with those in previous years, which made Li Zitao disappointed.
According to the latest news from Hans, Washington plans to conduct the first test explosion of the nuclear bomb in New Mexico early next month, that is, early May.
This detonation will be the first nuclear explosion in history. Compared with this, Li Zitao expects that it will officially go into war in the near future.
When the plane arrived in Washington, Li took his team to the Ministry of defense building, and then turned to the army headquarters.
The next day they went to Capitol Hill again. It was not until the afternoon of the third day that Li Zitao sat in the president's office.
"Roosevelt, you look terrible." Sitting on a couch that is not yet comfortable with his own host sofa, Li Zitao cocks his legs and drinks Boston whisky."Yes, I am too tired." Roosevelt's tone was more tired than ever. The closer the victory was, the greater his energy was.
Once he could work two days and two nights without sleeping. Now, that's killing him.
"What does the medical team say?" In order to ensure the smooth cooperation with the two parties, Li Zitao paid a heavy price on Roosevelt.
Among them, of course, it also includes the consideration of his health.
Since he was in a wheelchair, Roosevelt's health has not been very good. After 12 years in power, he happened to encounter World War II. His arduous work made him display his talent and let the world know his ability, but he was also burdened with heavy burden.
His body is almost unable to eat. His hot spring treatment every month has been reduced from the first two times to one. Recently, he has not been to the hot spring resort for half a year.
"They said they needed a rest." Roosevelt grinned bitterly: "it's just a luxury... Everyone knows that's impossible. I can't stop."
"You can. You're the president." Li Zitao jokingly said.
"Because I am the president, I know more about the responsibilities and burdens it represents." Roosevelt's expression was particularly serious, and he mentioned that his responsibility was higher than his life.
"Come on, Franklin, the world doesn't stop running because it lacks anyone, even the president.
the body is the capital of revolution. If it is not, it will be the worst situation, at least for you and me."
As far as Roosevelt's physical condition is concerned, Li Zitao knows more about Roosevelt's physical condition than he does.
His body has reached the limit, just like a tight spring. If you don't loosen it, it may break.
In fact, he is beyond the "historical" record, because today is April 20, Roosevelt is still sitting in his wheelchair in the Washington presidential office.
But it doesn't mean he's getting better, it's more like a flash back.
Li Zitao hopes that he will be in power for more years. The best way is to leave the work to the vice president, chief of staff and Secretary of state.
More power and responsibility to them, his prestige is enough.
Everyone knew that he could not be president again. Roosevelt had come to an end in terms of body, age and politics.
As he said in the two sessions, he will not run again, anyway!
"I can't..." Roosevelt leaned back in his chair and murmured like a dream: "there are too many things to do, and these things need the President..."
"man, there will always be something to do..." Li Zitao did not know what to say.
The president was not as beautiful as the outside world seemed. Every order Roosevelt gave was related to the lives and deaths of countless people during the war.
It's not about the future or the future, it's going to happen right now.
For example, the Pacific campaign, or the Utah Beach in Normandy, the attacks on Berlin, killed people almost all the time.
But this is exactly what he should and must do.
It's not easy to kill, especially as the one who gives the final order, and when those people have no grudge against him.
He can paralyze himself on the grounds of national interests, but his inner and mental pressure can not be shared and imagined by anyone.
"Roosevelt... Roosevelt..." had not talked about the subject, Roosevelt actually leaned on the chair and fell asleep, which made Li Zitao helpless and worried.
Li Zitao's expression suddenly changed when he shook him, because he found that the other party didn't seem to be simply asleep.
"Hey, somebody..." Li Zitao opened the door of the office and called out.
Soon, the president's chief of staff and secret service personnel rushed into the room, and a few minutes later the medical corps felt the same, and Roosevelt was taken to the hospital.
"Sir, please stay here. We need to do the necessary investigation." Li Zitao was confined to the White House Office by the secret service.
This kind of feeling is very bad, Li Zitao even felt that he should not choose this time to see him.
In addition to the goddess of fortune, Li Zitao is now sure that she is a moody bichi, who likes to show off her coquettish, and do not force her face to be dirty.
