Chapter 361 Frustrated Truman (Fourth update, please subscribe)

The sound of music came from inside the house, and laughter and laughter streaked across the night sky one after another. At this moment, brilliant fireworks were released in the night sky, and almost everyone made an uproar at the same time.

After the passionate kiss, Elizabeth's eyes became a little blurred. Her breathing was rapid and her legs were weak. She was hanging on the man's arm. At this time, there were more people outside. Only then did she realize that His Majesty was still letting him go. She held her arm and silently looked at the starry night sky, watching his expression.

Lifting her head, Elizabeth quietly looked at his face:

"Do you think of your hometown?"

Elizabeth asked half coquettishly.

Turning to her quietly, Li Yian shook his head instead of saying "no".

"But what do you seem to be thinking about?"

"Then guess what I'm thinking about?"

At this time, more people gathered outside. Li Yian and Elizabeth tacitly understood each other, stopped talking, and looked at the night sky. Colorful fireworks shot in all directions in the dark night and disappeared in an instant. For some reason, Elizabeth felt that today's fireworks were so beautiful, so exciting and thrilling.

After a while, Li Yian looked down at the girl next to him, who was beautiful and spotless. At this moment, the girl's eyes turned to him, her purple eyes were crystal clear, and she looked straight at him, with a hint of innocence in her clear eyes. Confused, so he said in a teasing tone.

"Elizabeth, did anyone tell you that your eyes will make all men fall for you!"

The man's teasing made Elizabeth's face blush, but she still mustered up the courage to look at the king and said.

"What about you? Your Majesty"

……

Until he left Hollywood by plane, Li Yi'an still had a smile on his face. It must be said that beautiful women always make people feel happy. After their chance encounter with Elizabeth, the two became very close like lovers.

However, the happy time was short-lived. After staying in Hollywood for a few days, Li Yian finally embarked on his journey to Washington. That is, yesterday, the girl actually opened the door on his own initiative.

"Although she is petite, she is really impressive..."

Recalling last night's experience, Li Yian couldn't help but have this idea in his heart, and the girl's shy and jerky initiative once again appeared in his mind.

This trip to Hollywood can be considered a fruitful experience...

But soon, Li Yian put all this behind him. After all, there were more important things.

While the plane was flying over the United States, Li Yian couldn't help but mutter to himself while looking through the telegram in his hand, which only had more than a hundred words.

"The confrontation is not intense enough!"

Then he looked out the window, looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, the corners of his mouth raised, and the smile on his face grew stronger.

The magnificent era has finally arrived.

A few hours later, when the plane landed at the Washington Airport, Li Nian saw Truman and his party who had been waiting for a long time.

Truman said as soon as the two met.

"Thank you for your support. The whole world can see your support for the free world."

The support in Trudeau's words refers to the fact that when the plane landed in Los Angeles, when reporters mentioned the "Berlin Crisis", he expressed support for the Western world. Nanyang was the first country besides Europe and the United States to take a stand. In fact, this was the Cold War. The biggest feature of this period is that all countries need to take sides, not just because of political needs. It's because there are real benefits to taking sides.

"Harry, just like you said, this will buy peace."

Li Yian said with a smile.

Bullshit, what he cares about is not peace, but aid from the United States. Soon the two got into Truman's car, and as the car drove out of the airport, Truman thanked him again.

"Thank you, Lee."

The thank you this time refers to the sponsorship of his election. Several companies under Li Nian's name are the largest sponsors of Truman's re-election. The sponsorship of more than three million US dollars is definitely a big deal.

"I've been looking forward to this opportunity for several years, Harry."

"Are you sure I can win?"

Looking at the young man in front of him, Truman asked doubtfully.

"You should know that almost everyone in the United States dislikes me. They even think that I am destined to fail. And I think so too, Li, really!"

It was only natural that Truman would be so pessimistic. Two years ago, the Republican Party won the midterm elections and gained a majority of seats in Congress. American consortiums and organizations that were dissatisfied with Roosevelt and Truman also provided large amounts of campaign funds to the Republican Party.

Compared with the Republican Party, the Democratic Party is a mess. After Truman narrowly won the primary, former Democratic Vice President Wallace and conservative representative Thurmond quit the Democratic Party and participated in the general election respectively. This further divided the Democratic Party's vote base, and the situation naturally became increasingly unfavorable to Truman.

"I believe you can win! My friend!"

"My friend, you are not in the United States. You don't know the current situation."

Truman shook his head and said.

"Now, Dewey has relied on the Republican Party's huge campaign funds to get almost all the media in the United States to side with him. During the general election, major radio stations, television stations and newspapers in the United States advocated that he will be elected almost every day. And polls show that , he is also far ahead.”

Looking at Truman who was extremely unconfident, Li Yian smiled.

"I know, that's why I'm here!"

His words made Truman stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said.

"Lee, I know your good intentions, but your financial resources cannot be compared with all the big American companies. They are tired of us. They have been like this since the Roosevelt era, so they will do their best to support Dewey. This is a A losing battle."

Looking at Truman who was looking down, Li Yian said.

"Harry, is this still the Harry I know?"

After asking the question, Li Yian said.

"I remember when I first came to Washington, everyone was talking about Truman, his committees, and his work. At that time, he was a very fighting guy. What happened? Once upon a time Where did Harry go?"

Staring at the low-spirited Truman next to him, if it weren't for his knowledge of history, Li Yian might even have made the mistakes that many people made - just like the man in Tangshan who carried US dollars to support Truman. In fact, it was not just the one who made the same mistake. He alone, and many countries made the same mistake, well, so did the Great Netherlands. They were also supporting Dewey in the hope that after Dewey was elected, he would give more aid and support their actions in Southeast Asia.

The result can be imagined. The day after Truman was elected, he told the Dutch to get out of Southeast Asia.

God forbid, those guys have no idea how many people that guy Dewey has tricked!

Of course, I don’t know how much this guy Truman holds a grudge.

Fortunately, Li Yi'an, who stands on the shoulders of historical giants and knows the direction of history very clearly, knows which side he should be on, and of course it is the side of the winner.

That's why he came to the United States in person to express his support with practical actions. What could be more touching than providing help in times of need!

Truman is a guy who holds grudges...and also holds grudges.

"Harry, I came here this time just to witness the miracle, to witness you...my friend, how you defeated Dewey!"
