Chapter 436 The Empire Needs My Stomach

Old Versailles! Alan Wilson muttered this in his mind and lowered his voice, "Would you be wronged by sleeping with me?"

Pamela Mountbatten was just about to tease her fiancé when she looked at Alan Wilson with a scrutinizing gaze, and her heart suddenly twitched, "No way, don't look like that, it's so scary. I was wrong!"

"Don't dare!" Alan Wilson snorted and said with his hands in his pockets, "How dare I talk to a nobleman like that."

"Such a big man, don't be so stingy, just let me do it." Pamela Mountbatten burst into tears, tugging on the man's clothes and apologizing for the gaffe just now.

"You are here, have I disturbed you?" Smithhammer walked over with a smile and said hello, "Dear Consul and Madam Consul, there is a more important guest at today's reception. The children of the Kennedy family have just returned from college. , he is a very introverted person, but he is also very interested in politics, I wonder if the consul is willing to chat with him?"

Studying in college? It shouldn't be the one who is the president. Alan Wilson nodded and expressed his desire to meet the elites who came out of American universities. Smithhammer smiled and felt happy that he had helped Robert Kennedy expand his contacts.

The Kennedy family had already established a foothold before World War I. The elder Kennedy had already earned US$5 million in profits from trade before World War I. In the 1920s, he invested in the film industry, doubling the family assets. In the 1930s, he became a partner with President Roosevelt. Just becoming the Minister of Finance and following the Mellon family's path to success was not smooth, and he finally disappeared from the political arena.

But the elder Kennedy was very willing to work hard on the training of his sons. Doing the same thing, being powerful can increase his exposure. He had high hopes for his sons. John Kennedy, who has become a member of the House of Representatives, was his most popular. Proud work.

Compared with his already emerging brother, Robert Kennedy was a dwarf. At this time, he had just returned home to prepare for his graduation ceremony from Harvard next month.

Alan Wilson did not expect to meet the U.S. Attorney General more than ten years later before meeting McCarthy.

After Smithhammer's introduction, the two chatted. Robert Kennedy had no long-term plans for the future, which was also pointed out in his chat with Alan Wilson.

"Of course I want to join politics. I know something about your family's situation." Alan Wilson actually understands how the Kennedy family became prosperous. It can be clearly seen from the growth trajectory of Kennedy that how much effort the elder Kennedy spent , like many fathers who hope that their sons will become successful, they want their sons to realize their unfulfilled dreams.

"My brother John is now a member of the House of Representatives. My father is very happy. I think I can choose another path." Robert Kennedy mentioned his brother John Kennedy with pride beyond words. "Compared with my brother, I am much more mediocre.”

"Oh, Robert, why do you have such an idea? Everyone is the protagonist in his own life, and he is also a supporting role in the eyes of others. We must find the value of our own survival." Alan Wilson corrected with a smile, "No one will cover up the light of others, especially from a family like yours."

Alan Wilson adhered to the gentlemanly demeanor and acted as a mentor and friend to the still-growing U.S. Attorney General, illuminating his path forward.

"If I have time next month, I will go to Harvard University.

Look at my new friend's graduation ceremony then. "

Half an hour later, Alan Wilson and Robert Kennedy were already well acquainted, holding wine glasses and chatting in the middle of the reception. For some of Robert Kennedy's questions, he also relied on his rich political reserves to answer them.

Of course, his eyes have never left his fiancée. As we all know, the British and American circles are quite chaotic. Everyone wants to be Prime Minister Cao, but they must also beware of Prime Minister Cao appearing around them.

Pamela Mountbatten understood her fiancé's needs very well. Poor Pamela was controlled by the ill-motivated British Indian bureaucrats when she first fell in love. She has been manipulated by the British Indian bureaucrats until today. She has always believed that loyalty is what binds a man. The best way.

Her fiancé took Robert Kennedy, and she took Kennedy’s girlfriend Ethel, and explained to Ethel some etiquette of the British aristocracy. Everyone is curious, and Ethel is no exception. She is very interested in things about the aristocracy. interested.

In short, after this cocktail party, Alan Wilson initially established a certain degree of friendship with members of the Kennedy family, and verbally agreed to go to Harvard University next month to attend Robert Kennedy's graduation ceremony.

At the same time, he also said that he must get to know Robert Kennedy's brother if he has time.

After returning to the consulate and getting McCarthy's official itinerary from Wick, Alan Wilson decided to go to Chicago for an unexpected encounter. Pamela Mountbatten came over and asked, "I heard that this man is quite rude. Do you need my help?" ?”

"It's better for me to deal with rude people. Didn't you make an appointment with Robert's girlfriend Ethel to hang out? Just leave this matter to me." Alan Wilson kissed his fiancée on the cheek and said, "With people who like to drink, as long as I show my sincerity, it should be easier for me to build friendship than Robert Kennedy."

The senator is drunk every day. If it is true, all Alan Wilson needs to prepare now is as simple as setting aside a few days to get drunk with him.

It's not necessary to establish an unbreakable relationship. Drinking with fair-weather friends is the fastest way to build friendship.

"You have to control yourself and don't get yourself involved in diplomatic work." Pamela Mountbatten was quite unhappy when she heard about McCarthy's hobbies, but when she heard that Alan Wilson's method turned out to be to start drinking. He was trying to think of a way, and suddenly there was a look of worry on his face. He knew very well that Alan Wilson's drinking capacity was obviously not good, but he never admitted defeat.

"The Empire needs my stomach, dear. At my age, I shouldn't risk my life." Alan Wilson decided to take Wick with him to Chicago. He had already agreed that McCarthy's drinking capacity must be very high, so he would bring a It would be safer to go with an assistant.

Alan Wilson felt that the purpose of his trip was no less than a diplomatic action that went down in history in the history of the British Empire.

In this era of decline, the role of other British diplomats is just a piece of cake. To bring back the glorious era, Alan Wilson has to personally take action.

He really needs to establish a close friendship with McCarthy before he becomes successful. When the Republican Party starts to bite people after losing the election, he can exert influence on McCarthy.

At this time, the British military strength is definitely not good enough. Even if the whole country maintains the Royal Navy, it cannot keep up with the expansion rate of the U.S. Navy, because the Navy, a stock arm of the military, is the most difficult to catch up among all arms. In various parameters In front of a warship, there is no difference between being twice weaker and a hundred times weaker.

The Japanese Combined Fleet's 70% is already the bottom line. In fact, as far as the Navy is concerned, 70% is not enough. Because the construction cycle of warships is too long, it is very unfriendly to the party that is lagging behind.

Now even the Royal Navy, which it relies on the most, is no match for the United States. It can only retreat and think of solutions through soft power.

McCarthy finally fell into disrepute after defeating the Iron Banners. As McCarthy's friend who was about to appear, Alan Wilson was a more influential and cheaper opponent, such as Hollywood, the stronghold of Tongsu in the United States, an intellectual who was accustomed to kneeling and punching. Class, these are in line with the style of dealing with the weak with heavy blows.

A few days later, Alan Wilson had slipped unnoticed to Chicago, the venue for McCarthy's campaign speech. And he just sat down there and listened to McCarthy talk.

As a politician, McCarthy's eloquence is absolutely outstanding. McCarthy, who is 40 years old, could become a rising star of the Republican Party if it were not for his serious alcoholism.

Seeing McCarthy talk endlessly, expounding the vision of the Republican Party after taking power, I would never have imagined that he would leave such an impression in history. In fact, looking at McCarthy now, he is full of enthusiasm and the voice of his speech is quite magnetic. Alan Wilson believes that he will not McCarthy is indeed a good person according to a few people, but he just doesn't know how to drink in moderation.

At the end of his speech, McCarthy also shouted two slogans to support the Republican candidates.

"Consul, what's wrong with you?" Wick asked with concern when he saw his immediate superior pouting.

"Nothing!" Alan Wilson thought McCarthy's campaign slogan was relatively unimaginative. Among all the campaign slogans he heard, the one that left the deepest impression was undoubtedly "Make America Great Again."

The conversation between the two was drowned in the cheers of the venue. At this time, Wick disappeared for a moment, and when he came back again, he said that everything had been arranged.

After the speech, the unexpected encounter between Allen Wilson and McCarthy began. "I didn't expect that Consul Allen would appear in such a small venue and come to listen to my speech."

"This is what happens in the United States. I don't dare to appear on such occasions in China. I have to strictly maintain political neutrality." Alan Wilson said with a bright smile. "Usually at that time, I would sit next to the radio and pour myself some wine. A glass of whiskey.”

"Oh, does Consul Allen have such a hobby?" McCarthy was hit directly from the front, and he felt a little good for nothing.

"Of course, no one knows the benefits of whiskey better than me." Alan Wilson said with an intoxicated face, and his chest was full of the sense of mission of the British Empire. "I also treasured a bottle of good wine, but because there was no one to share it with, I brought it with me Running around with it, you know, as a consul, the consulate is like a prison to me."

"Dear Congressman!" the aide next to McCarthy warned, but the reminder failed. The aide, who was well aware of McCarthy's temperament, fulfilled his obligation, but this early warning was still ignored.
