Chapter 727: Seeking Something

In Washington, walking from Capitol Hill to the city center, after turning a few blocks, you can see an Italian restaurant named Fiona.

This restaurant is said to have a strong background in the Democratic Party, and as Democrats, Vice President Jordan and Nan Ming had an appointment here for dinner. (Well, the Vice President is fictional, so don't take it for granted.)

When Nan Ming walked in, the small shop was a little deserted. Several Secret Service agents stood guard at the door and sat at the table next to Jordan.

On weekends, Fiona is only open for dinner, and the restaurant that has not yet officially opened seems to be opened earlier because of Jordan.

Before coming in, Nan Ming was also searched, which made him a little upset.

It is said that in front of the Secret Service, the mention of Kennedy's assassination and Bush's shoe being thrown would make them furious. I don't know if it is true.

When being searched, Nan Ming wanted to try it.

Fortunately, the body search of Nan Ming was more symbolic, and then the tall black bodyguard let him go sideways.

Jordan smiled at him and said, "Sorry, as the vice president, it seems that there is only such a little privilege."

With the close protection of the Secret Service, this is one of the few privileges of the vice president.

Another privilege of the vice president is to be the first to take over the position of the president after the president dies, resigns, or is impeached.

Historically, eight vice presidents have succeeded in taking over as president.

In the movie, there was a plot where the vice president launched a conspiracy to kill the president and let him succeed him. After all, the president of the United States is the most powerful person in the world, not one of them.

In addition, the vice president is more like a spokesperson and mascot, as well as the spokesperson of the president. When it comes to power, even the most powerful vice president must be ranked among the secretary of state and the two major parliaments. under long.

This kind of life is definitely not a happy mood.

Not to mention, Jordan didn't have any great reputation in his political career, and the highest achievement in his life was just becoming the vice president. He was more like a little transparent.

But even so, Jordan's influence far exceeds that of ordinary congressmen. After all, he is an old man who has been immersed in American politics for most of his life.

Seeing Nan Ming coming in, Jordan stood up and looked at Nan Ming with a smile.

Nan Ming quickened his pace and came in front of Jordan.

The two people looked at each other.

Today's Nan Ming is dressed in a well-fitting formal suit, which completely conceals his disadvantages in age, and looks a lot more mature.

And Jordan is always in a civilian suit and a red tie, looking like an office white-collar that can be seen everywhere.

Just older.

Nan Ming glanced back, and sat down in front of Jordan.

Zhao Gaofeng found a random place by the door and sat down. McGovern, with one arm hanging, sat beside Zhao Gaofeng with a pale face.

After the last attack, McGovern was finally able to get out of bed after lying on the bed for three days. People have to sigh that his life is really great.

After getting out of bed, he immediately returned to work. At the same time, he transferred more than 30 special agents from OTMC to protect Nan Ming all the way. Now when Nan Ming goes out, there is at least one convoy to protect him.

A glass of wine was placed in front of Jordan, and after he sat down, he didn't speak for a while, but was immersed in his emotions.

Jordan's expression was a little depressed.

"Excuse me, you don't mind if I have a drink." He picked up the glass in front of him and drank the wine in one gulp.

Nan Ming fiddled with the wine glass in front of him, and said: "If this is in China, I will have a drink with you. Unfortunately, if I drink with you here, the police chief will come and arrest me."

Jordan smiled, but he didn't smile much, and he didn't show much to Nan Ming's well-timed joke.

Nan Ming swallowed, and Jordan didn't seem to be as easy to get along with as he imagined, but Nan Ming was not worried, because Nan Ming knew why Jordan was so depressed.

Jordan and his first wife's son, 46-year-old Joseph, has reached the terminal stage of brain cancer and is estimated to have few days to live.

Jordan's eldest son is also an excellent lawyer and successful politician. Jordan has always felt that his son will achieve greater achievements than himself, and even believes that one day he will become the president of the United States.

But that day has not yet come, and everything will come to an abrupt end.

Sending a white-haired person to a black-haired person is the most painful thing in the world.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have done this." Jordan shook his head, "I made you laugh."

"No, I understand how a father feels at this time."

Ever since "Pandora's Box" came to the United States and was controlled by OTMC, Jordan has always wanted to meet Nan Ming.

Under the effect of authority, he will subconsciously regard Nan Ming as "one of his own people", but the so-called "one's own people" here are only similar to "his subordinates", or it just refers to a camp. He thinks that Nan Ming is standing in their camp.

Because Jordan doesn't want to get "Pandora's Box" very strongly like the people in OTMC.

The range of his own people is very broad. In the party, the Democratic Party is all his own people. In the whole country, OTMC is its own people, the Secret Service is its own people, and in the whole world, the entire United States is its own people.

Therefore, he just wanted to meet Nan Ming, see this legendary person, and see if he could grab some political resources, that's all.

Although he has always been the vice president, Jordan has never given up on becoming a president. Although there is little hope, he has always supported it.

It's a pity that if he participates in the competition in the coming year, his competitor will be a terrifying opponent, the current Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

So now Jordan is struggling with delusion and despair.

"I came here today to ask for something." Nan Ming said, straight to the point, and didn't exchange many pleasantries. Foreigners don't like clouds and fog, and neither does Nan Ming.

Nanming has a lot of requests. He hopes to pass a bill that will allow people who are lazy to protect themselves to wear powered exoskeletons to operate in the United States. He also hopes to allow his armed drones to fly over the United States, at least in the open air. Fly nowhere.

"I know, but I can't help you." Jordan shook his head. "You know I'm just the vice president, not the president, nor the secretary of state. Even if I were the president, I'm afraid I can't help you much..."

Americans think their president is the most powerful person in the world.

But in fact, many people in the country feel that being an American president may not be as comfortable as a domestic governor.

There are too many rules and regulations that restrict them.

Even if the president of the United States introduces a bill, it may be rejected by Congress.

Not to mention the vice president who has no status in the House of Representatives and the Senate.

"My request is not for myself, but for more brave and loyal Americans who shouldn't be sacrificed." Nan Ming said.

Nanming heard that when people are in grief, they will become more emotional and easier to judge others by themselves. Jordan's son is dying now, which should make Jordan more likely to be moved by the same emotion.

He reached out and pointed to McGovern who was sitting not far from the door.

"I don't know if you know him. His name is McGovern. He is the one who traveled thousands of miles from China to send the technology of Lanshen Technology to the United States." Nan Ming looked at Jordan, and suddenly felt that his words were a bit ridiculous.

Theoretically speaking, the box McGovern got was actually stolen from Lanshen Technology, but under the influence of authority, Jordan didn't feel any violation.

Jordan actually met McGovern, and once patted McGovern on the shoulder, telling him to do a good job.

But right now,

Nan Ming tidied up her emotions and made her voice as convincing as possible.

"He is called McGovern. He has a divorced but still loving wife and a daughter who is in college. He is just an ordinary father. Just a few days ago, in order to fulfill his sacred duty, Almost killed by the enemy... And this kind of tragedy is because of the rigid system and laws of the United States, which does not allow field personnel to be armed with powered exoskeletons. McGovern is actually the lucky one, at least he is still alive, but there are three The members of OTMC stayed on that mountain road forever, each of them is a father, a son, and a family..."

Nan Ming tried his best to make his tone more sincere and more touching.

"Oh..." Jordan looked at McGovern, but remained expressionless.

Nan Ming saw that even the members of the Secret Service who were protecting Jordan were already moved. They sacrificed themselves countless times to protect the dignitaries, so it was easy for them to empathize.

But Jordan, the old fox, just listened indifferently.

Nan Ming frowned slightly and shook his head lightly. I'm afraid it would be impossible to impress Qiao Deng in this way.

This old man who has been in politics for decades and has experienced many harsh presidential campaigns is a political creature through and through. He will not be easily moved by others.

In fact, before he came, Yang Ji once proposed a plan to Nan Ming.

When he knew that Nan Ming was attacked, Yang Ji left his operations in Germany and rushed to the United States as quickly as possible.

Even with the ability to use the Rod of Fear, he still wants to help Nan Ming get this done.

"Mr. Nan, as long as I sneak into the parliament and stand up and kill anyone at will, most of the United States will become ours..."

Nan Ming was speechless. Let’s not talk about sneaking into the parliament and killing people so easily. Just talk about twisting other people’s will through the rod of fear. What’s the difference between them and the Eslagon family they hate the most?

If this must be done, Nan Ming would rather withdraw from the United States.

Yang Ji didn't take Nan Ming's decision seriously, but he didn't dare to go against it, so he could only be ruthless silently.

But at this time, seeing Jordan's unmoved look, Nan Ming suddenly wanted to see how Jordan was frightened by the stick of fear.

There is no way to impress Jordan with emotion, Nan Ming can only do one thing at this moment.

He tapped on the table lightly, and said, "Did you try any new treatments for your son's illness?"

"New treatment?" Jordan was stunned for a moment, then he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I have used all available treatments, whether it is surgery, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy, we have tried them all. I even used Relationship, please ask a professor from Harvard Medical School to use DC-CIK biological immunotherapy in violation of regulations..."

"That thing is useless." Nan Ming shook his head.

DC-CIK biological immunotherapy is a new treatment method boasted by those cancer hospitals contracted by Putian hospitals in China. This method is very advanced in theory. It collects the patient's own anti-cancer cells in a special way, and then concentrates them The cost of reinfusion into the patient's own body is high, but in clinical observations, it has almost no effect, and even if it is effective, it is only a placebo effect.

At this time, the Wei Zexi incident has not yet broken out, and the Putian faction has not been exposed. The Putian faction is still using this so-called new treatment from the United States to kill people and steal money in China.

"Have you tried ECC stem cell repair therapy?" Nan Ming asked.

"What kind of therapy is that?" Jordan's eyes widened.

Nan Ming suddenly laughed. In fact, he made up this name a few seconds ago.

But at this moment, he showed confidence: "This is a new type of stem cell therapy that can reactivate the cells in the brain so that they can develop again. After surgically removing the cancerous area, we can use this method to make patients The self-repairing of the brain, this therapy has not yet entered the clinical stage, but we already have enough theoretical basis, and you know, our Lanshen Technology has the strongest stem cell technology..."

"After this new type of treatment, I'm 80% sure that your son will survive." Nan Ming said, "However, the side effects of this treatment are also obvious. Human memory is stored in cells, although We can use stem cells to repair the brain, but memory, knowledge, and logical abilities are damaged, but this damage is not permanent. Through relearning, some of the previously lost abilities can be regained soon. Only memory is irreversible..."

"However, at present, this kind of treatment can only be done in our research institute, so you must send your son to China..."

Jordan grabbed Nan Ming's hand suddenly: "What you said is true?"

"Of course, the American hospitals are helpless anyway, why don't you give it a try?" Nan Ming urged him.

"If you can cure my son, I will help you pass this bill!" Jordan said in a low voice.

"Deal." Nan Ming smiled.

He wanted something, but so did Jordan.

It's just that Jordan, who had shown a hard heart just now, behaved completely differently when it was his son's turn, which made Nan Ming feel a little nauseous.

When leaving Fiona, Zhao Gaofeng asked Nan Ming: "Do we really have this kind of technology?"

"No."

"Then you still..."

"It will be there soon." Nan Ming said. (To be continued.)
