Chapter 1454: Trip to Washington (First update, please subscribe)
Kennedy's funeral was scheduled for three days after the assassination.

Therefore, after making some arrangements, Li Yian set off on his "Air Force One" special plane. In addition to some necessary assistants, the rest of the entourage were some technical personnel.

Before he set off, two C130s had already flown to Washington via transit. In addition to the advance team, there were also various vehicles and support vehicles on board.

The special plane flew directly to Washington. When the plane landed at Washington Airport, Li Yian deliberately took a look at the half-mast flag on the airport building.

This is standard procedure when a head of state dies.

However, the honors Kennedy received after his death far exceeded those of any other American president, not even Lincoln.

When Kennedy was alive, apart from the "Cuban Missile Crisis", he did not achieve any earth-shaking achievements. He was almost canonized after his death.

NASA changed its name to "Kennedy Space Center", of course, this was related to his full efforts to promote the space industry. But the New York International Airport, the airport of the largest city in the United States, soon changed its name as well.

In order to commemorate the assassinated 35th President of the United States, the airport was renamed John Fitzgerald Kennedy International Airport after his full name, John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

Is this canonization?
No one knows, but no matter what, people taking off and landing at New York Airport every day will hear a sentence - Welcome to Kennedy International Airport.

Every reminder is to remind people who travel to and from New York to remember the contributions made by Kennedy.

As the saying goes, Kennedy's death contributed more than his entire life.

At this moment, the whole of Washington was solemn, dignified, and of course sad!

This shows that after Kennedy's "heartfelt export" of the Cuban Missile Crisis and the black riots, the support he received was nothing like the embarrassment he faced when he was first elected and was questioned for his behind-the-scenes manipulation after narrowly defeating Nixon.

It’s a pity that Kennedy, who had a great imagination, could no longer see this honor behind him!

Because there were so many heads of state coming, special arrangements were needed to welcome them at the airport. After all, the president was also bored, so his old friend McCarthy came specially to greet them. McCarthy knew that compared to officials, his old friend preferred to stay with acquaintances.

“It’s such a sad thing.”

Li Yian's face was solemn, and he was sad that the United States had lost a great president.

"President Kennedy was a great president whose leadership was witnessed by the whole world."

McCarthy nodded in agreement. In front of journalists from various countries, they just spoke simple clichés.

Only after getting in the car did McCarthy say:
"Lee, something happened!"

"what?"

McCarthy lowered his voice and said:
"Just before you arrived in Washington, Oswald, the assassin of the president! Was shot before he was sent to Washington."

Li Yian was stunned at first. This, this... is it murder to silence someone?

Just like Kennedy was executed in public, the official murderer, Oswald, was taken out by the police and was about to be taken to the county jail. A hotel owner named Jack Ruby shot and killed him. Because NBC and several TV stations were reporting on the deportation of criminals.

So, unfortunately, they once again broadcast the murder live.

This is the third time this year!
It was under such circumstances that Oswald was killed on the spot by Jack Ruby, and the scene was broadcast live to thousands of households.

However, because Li Yian's plane had just landed when the incident happened, he had not yet received the news.

While he was stunned, McCarthy said:

"I got the news that before Oswald died, he said: I'm just a scapegoat. Lee, I think there may be a conspiracy behind this!"

As the former chairman of the Un-American Committee, McCarthy had a keen sense of smell. He continued:

"After Oswald's death, Dulles had flown to Dallas to look into the matter, and he was a member of the investigative committee."

Dulles is the former CIA director who planned the "Bay of Pigs Operation". I should add here that this CIA director has long been a thing of the past, and Dulles eventually paid the price for his series of actions.

After the Cuban Missile Crisis, Dulles, who deliberately concealed intelligence, accepted the National Security Medal from Kennedy, plus a letter of resignation, and then stepped down "dignifiedly".

When Li Yian learned that Dulles went to Dallas to participate in the investigation of Kennedy's assassination, his expression became a little strange.

Because before this, Li Yian suspected that Dulles was very likely among the forces that killed Kennedy.

Because the grudge between the two is indeed very deep!
Unlike the Kennedy family's political newbie, Dulles was born into a political family, especially his deceased brother John Dulles, who was Secretary of State during the Eisenhower administration. Their maternal grandfather John Watson Foster was Secretary of State under President Benjamin Harrison, and their uncle Robert Lansing was Secretary of State under President Woodrow Wilson.

A family with three people becoming the second-in-command of the United States in different eras can definitely be called famous. Among such a political family, Dulles, the director of the Central Intelligence Agency, is the most ordinary.

Of course, this ordinariness is not the same as the ordinariness in the eyes of ordinary people.

The failure at the Bay of Pigs did not shake him in the slightest.

It was not until after the Cuban Missile Crisis that Kennedy arranged for his retirement.

But even so, Dulles still made a grand comeback in Washington in another way - as a member of the investigation committee to investigate the truth of Kennedy's assassination.

I can only say that sometimes this world is so magical.

This is why Li Yian suspected Dulles. If it were him, he would definitely send the old man to a black prison in the Middle East and torture him severely.

However, all this has nothing to do with Li Yian. In fact, he doesn't care at all who killed Kennedy.

Don't even care about the truth.

As for the so-called "organization", is it bigger than Tomahawk or better than Hydra?

Unlike his initial concerns, with more detailed analysis, Li Yian has basically figured out that the so-called "organization" is at most a group composed of wealthy and political families, and this group involves multiple countries.

This is very normal. In a place as big as Europe, intermarriage between families in different countries is very normal. The French marry in Italians, the Germans marry in British, and the British marry in Americans.

Hundreds of years of intermarriage have made them a closely connected group, so it is normal for them to have one or several secret organizations.

But how much actual threat does such an organization pose?

To ordinary people, it is a mountain, but in front of the powerful state organs, it is vulnerable.

Just like Kennedy, even as the head of state, it only takes one bullet, and if that doesn't work, then two! Just like now.

One for Kennedy and one for Oswald.

Sometimes, it's just that simple!
In fact, there was another one, that was Jack Ruby - he died of lung cancer three years later at Parkland Hospital in Dallas, the same hospital as Kennedy and Oswald.

As to whether it was lung cancer or poisoning, I'm afraid only God knows.

Thinking this in his heart, Li Yian looked at Washington outside the car, was silent for a moment, and said:

"McCarthy, my friend, this is too complicated, it's best to stay out of it!"

"Haha, of course I know, I'm a Republican!"

McCarthy shrugged his shoulders and said:
"According to the itinerary, we will go to the White House first and then to the hotel."

As a veteran on Capitol Hill, McCarthy certainly knew what things could not be asked, let alone even mentioned.

In this way, Li Yian went to the Capitol first. After Kennedy's coffin was transported back to Washington, it was first kept in the East Hall of the White House for one day, and then it was transported to the Capitol. The reason for this was to publicly accept the mourning of the American people.

Afterwards, he went to the White House to meet Kennedy's brother Robert, his widow Jacqueline, and Kennedy's two children.

There was not much else said except the official words.

After leaving the White House, I went to the hotel.

The hotel was very familiar - the Watergate Hotel, the national headquarters of the Democratic Party. Because there were so many guests, Li Yian was arranged to stay here.

But here, Li Yian met an old friend again - she stood in the corridor early in the morning, waiting for Li Yian's arrival:

"Nancy!"

It wasn't surprising to see Nancy here. After all, her family was a local political powerhouse.

Although Nancy looked like a little fangirl at Kennedy's inauguration a few years ago, there was no joy on her face at all now.

When she saw Li Yian, the love in her eyes could not be concealed. After entering the room, without waiting for Li Yian to react, she threw herself into his arms and kissed him passionately.

When taking off her coat, Li Yian was stunned. He could see her slightly bulging belly.

"plum……"

Nancy reached out and took his hand, pressed it against her belly, looked at him and said:
"This is our child."

Is this the surprise she mentioned in her letter before?

Placing his hand on Nancy's belly, Li Yian could feel the fetal movement, and Nancy began to smile.

"Look, he knows dad is here, too, and he's greeting you."

Feeling the fetal movement, Li Yian squinted his eyes and looked at the girl in front of him. Pregnancy made her figure even more hot, the kind that all men and women envy. The exposed part of the V-neck dress was very seductive.

Feeling his gaze, Nancy tiptoed and said:

"I asked the doctor, and he said as long as I'm careful, it's OK and there won't be any impact."

The night of reunion after a long separation was destined to be hot. When the scorching fire died down, Li Yian walked to the window. His eyes were cast out of the window, from where he could see the obelisk. All buildings in Washington must not be higher than the obelisk, which is also to ensure that people can see it from anywhere.

The Obelisk, Capitol Hill, looking at Washington in the twilight, Li Yian's expression was solemn. The white Capitol Building was particularly eye-catching in the twilight under the light.

Although it was late at night, countless people still lined up outside the Capitol to mourn Kennedy. During Kennedy's public mourning period, 25 people came to pay their respects.

As one king falls, a new one rises...

At this time, Nancy hugged him from behind, and it must be said that she had an amazing heart.

Looking out the window, Nancy asked:
"Honey, what are you looking at?"

"Washington."

Li Yian clapped her hands and said:

"The city on the top of the mountain, maybe one day, there will be a throne that belongs to you..."

"My throne..."

Nancy looked at the city outside the window, but at the age of 23, although she was keen on political activities, she was keen on helping her family and had never thought about getting involved.

And now there is no woman involved at all. Although she was a little confused, Nancy smiled and said:

"My dear, there is no throne here that belongs to a woman. I believe that one day, our son may sit on that throne!"

"Are you sure it's your son?"

"I am very sure."

Nancy nodded vigorously and said:

"My mother said that she is indeed her son."

"They...have accepted it?"

Li Yian hesitated for a moment and asked:
"You know……"

"If they don't accept it, what can we do?"

Holding the man from behind, Nancy said:
"I have my choice, and they know it very well, but my father hopes to meet you."
