"It seems that you have deep feelings for your country."

Eisenhower changed the subject and tried to counterattack, wanting to take a roundabout route and threaten him at the same time.

Li Zitao had already dealt with this. Ever since this body was still Li Goudan, people had been making endless troubles about his skin color and race every day.

After becoming successful, he became even more cautious and reclusive, in order to avoid creating more hatred and hostility.

This situation cannot be changed, because white-skinned people have been taught to hate ‘people of color’ since childhood. No matter they are yellow, brown or black, they are not good people.

Just like in school and in society, when you can get by, Baipi will stand high and act like the world is big and I am the biggest scorner.

If you can't handle it, you'll start to play tricks, start conspiracy theories, and just throw all kinds of dirty water on you, and you'll count all the dead ones.

The investigation of the Un-American Commission is a high-level representative of this kind of thinking and form.

Eisenhower is not the first to want to put a label on him, nor will he be the last. As long as Li Zitao is alive, there will always be people who want to do this.

However, are they taking it too much for granted, "Don't you, General, miss your hometown?"

Hearing his rhetorical question, Eisenhower's eyelids jumped and he said: "Of course, Uniontown is a small town with beautiful scenery and simple folk customs. I have always hoped to go back."

"I remember that every successful person received praise when he expressed that he cared about his hometown."

Li Zitao asked again: "Then, why is it worthy of praise for the general to miss his hometown, but it is a fault for me to miss my hometown?"

"Because you should know your position. Everything you have and all your achievements are given by the United States."

"Give?" Li Zitao shook his head amusedly; "I don't seem to have gotten any benefits from you, have you?"

"I mean this country."

"I have a red heart and want freedom. Therefore, all my assets are in the United States. My wife and children all have American IDs. What are you referring to?"

Look at all my assets,

My wife and children are all here, and my wife is a European princess, so what else is there to say.

"Speaking of contribution, the tax I pay alone every year is an astronomical amount. As one of the largest taxpayers in the United States, where is the freedom and respect I deserve?"

"Hearts."

"Is your heart black instead of red?"

Eisenhao's body trembled angrily, and he slapped the table and said, "You are sophistry!"

"Aren't you?"

Li Zitao sneered and said, "Don't always think about double standards. Even if you are white-skinned, you are not necessarily nobler than anyone else. At least don't threaten me with your racial and class thoughts."

Eisenhower's gloomy expression suddenly rose, and he smiled gently again: "How is it possible, Charlie, I openly oppose racial discrimination and white supremacy."

Li Zitao said with a non-smiling smile: "Haha, only the general knows whether it is true or false."

"Gentlemen." The waiter who came to deliver the food broke the deadlock. After the dishes were placed on the table, the two of them resumed the harmonious scene of talking and laughing.

The more you get to know Eisenhower, you will find that his inherent arrogance, arrogant attitude, and inner vanity are more obvious than his military talents.

If there wasn't a more suitable choice, Li Zitao would have eliminated him from the cooperation list. Just seeing his proud face would affect his appetite.

It seems that it is not that there is no suitable choice, but he has not paid special attention to this information before.

For example, Eisenhower's running mate is a good choice. In a few years, he will become the master of Washington.

There is also the little guy who cuts off the beauties halfway, gains glory, wants to touch the boss's cheese, and is beaten until his brains fly out. They are all suitable candidates.

Compared with the full-fledged and difficult-to-control Eisenhower, the latter two are obviously easier to control.

What's more, his relationship with one of them is deeper than ordinary people.

He hadn't seen Norma in several years, and although her face often appeared in movies or on television, it was a pity that he almost never looked at it.

Apart from briefings and news every day, he rarely touches TV, and he has not been to a movie theater for several years.

On the contrary, we are participating in more and more outdoor activities. In fact, when a person becomes busy, he rarely looks for illusory things to fill his heart.

"We should talk again." Eisenhower brought the conversation back to the topic. "If I agree to an armistice, you will support me, right?"

"Yes."

Li Zitao said firmly: "But I need your guarantee, in the name of the deceased."

Eisenhower's expression froze on his face, and then he said gloomily, "You are going too far, Charlie, that is my son. John just passed away not long ago, and we are still immersed in grief."

"That's why I need your assurance."

Li Zitao smiled calmly and said: "Don't be so angry, Dwight, you are not a soldier now, you are a politician."

“And the assurances from politicians, you know what that sounds like?”

Li Zitao restrained himself from using vulgar adjectives, hoping that he could regard this as a kind gesture.

Eisenhower sighed and said: "You know, even if he becomes the president, he will not have the final say in everything."

Li Zitao didn't listen to his excuses at all, and innocently spread his hands and said: "But it is different in this matter. The public opinion is on your side and on the side of the truce. With it, you will be unstoppable."

"Besides, this matter is good for everyone. Ending the war can bring you the respect of the people, more votes and support.

At the same time, if those men and children who did not have to work hard can return to their homes, society and families, they will create more value.

By appropriately reducing military expenditures and increasing investment in India and the Asia-Pacific region, European rejuvenation can also..."

Eisenhower needs a reason, so he will give the other party a suitable reason.

He did this not because the Far East is his hometown, but because it is best for the United States and is the right choice.

As for the real reason, they only need to know it in their own hearts. These high-sounding reasons and excuses are just for the general public to hear.

However, Li Zitao obviously ignored one detail, that is, how many people's cheese he touched by doing this.

In politics, any issue that doesn’t touch the cheese can be compromised.

The only thing they couldn't bear was that the cheese that was brought to their lips suddenly disappeared. No matter who the other party was or how powerful they were, they would definitely go and touch it.

Not to mention that the cheese he touched seemed a bit big this time. Eisenhower did it on purpose.

The purpose of him coming to her was not to ask for help at all, and the subsequent conversations and compromises were non-existent.

All armistices, agreements, and guarantees are false.

Eisenhower used his experience to teach Li Zitao a good lesson on what it means to strike first and gain the upper hand.
