How did I become a villain

Zeppelin could fully sense the gloating from Griffin.

Through radar detection, she could feel that she was being watched by the other party when she passed by.However, as a pure-blooded German ship, she didn't think much of her rival.

Zeppelin would have no sympathy for a navy that was slowly dying, and the two fleet carriers were their last glory.

PS: I have a better feeling today, and it should be updated later

Volume 287.4: [-] Successors of Emperor Xianzong

The time seems to have come to the second half of 1958.

Although there are still more than two years to go until the resignation of the president, the new presidential candidate has already begun to operate and build momentum in both parties.In order to follow the ancestral system proposed by Truman that the president should not be re-elected for more than three terms, Eisenhower decided to include his successor in his daily consideration from the beginning of next year.

There are actually not many choices before him. As his deputy since he took office as president, although Nixon is a Republican, he, like himself, belongs to a practical group that is more practical than formal. He has been following around as the vice president and knows his own reform plan very well.

This has nothing to do with partisanship. If it can improve the national power of the United States, Eisenhower will not hesitate to do so.

Just because of his embarrassing status in choosing to join the Democratic Party, this practice of blatantly supporting a hostile party is not very well recognized by people in the party.

The big-headed president is also troubled by this.

Eisenhower also considered Kennedy, who had performed equally well in the Democratic Party in recent years, but he was too young for a politician. His original intention was to hope that Kennedy could serve as Nixon's deputy and then compete for the next term.

In this way, the Eisenhower New Deal formulated by him can continue, which is of great benefit to the United States.

only……

Nixon was pleasantly surprised and surprised by the president's speech.

Although there is no explicit statement in the whole article that the president will support him to take office, but with the sensitivity of a politician, he has detected a tendency.

He did not expect that as a candidate for the Republican Party, he would be recognized by the opposing party. You must know that this is the era of the Democratic Party, and a whole generation has grown up under the halo of the Democratic Party. Choosing him at this time, the president has to bear a lot pressure, but this is also the embodiment of the other party's selflessness.Nixon admired the president's approach and naturally obeyed.

But this decision made Kennedy very unhappy.

When Eisenhower announced that he would give Vice President Nixon more work tasks, Kennedy realized that something was wrong.The Democrats have held supreme power in this country for 25 years, and they should have continued.But the other party made a decision that violated their ancestors and chose to interrupt the ruling of the Democratic Party.By 1961 at the latest, America was about to usher in Republican rule.

How can the Dixie people know how to govern the country, how can they keep America great?

Even if it was to defend the interests of the Democratic Party, Kennedy felt obliged to oppose it.

So the young man clearly expressed his opinion to the president, but the president had sufficient reasons and confidence in his decision, and Kennedy, who failed to persuade the president, thought twice and decided to visit Griffin.

As the biggest behind-the-scenes supporter of infrastructure construction during Eisenhower's administration, Griffin's Unlimited Company indirectly contributed to the current good situation in the United States.Although she is not a member of the president's staff, her opinions are always taken seriously by the White House.

If she can be persuaded...

Even Griffin herself didn't realize that she had become such an important figure unconsciously, and her opinion could affect the affiliation of the new president of the United States.

Griffin, who didn't know that he already had the ability to decide the US presidential candidate with one word, was still sailing in the Atlantic Ocean at this time.

In fact, before returning from the Arabian Peninsula, she also planned to go south to Africa, bypassing South Africa from the Mozambique Channel, passing through the Ivory Coast and returning to the United States.But the actual situation is that since she signed an agreement with the Middle East to improve the natural environment, Britain and France have expressed their concerns through certain channels.

Griffin could have ignored the opinions of these people and continued to go south, but for various reasons, the African countries under French control also showed her an attitude of not welcoming entry.If even the rescued are unwilling to get help, Griffin has no choice but to choose to respect the opinions of the local people.

This accident forced her to stay in the Red Sea for a few days, and finally decided to suspend her trip to Africa, choose to go to the Mediterranean Sea, and return under the eyes of Britain and France.

So when she passed through the Strait of Gibraltar, her cynicism towards the Royal Sea was understandable.

By the time she got back to her office in Manhattan, New York, before her ass was hot, Kennedy came whistling with a gust of wind.

"Have you heard? The president is starting to groom his successor."

"I just got back from port, why do you think I should know this?"

"It seems that you still don't know your current status in the American political circle." Kennedy was also relieved when he saw this.Looking at the other party, it seems that the president has not had time to inform her of his decision. "You know, many people now say that you are the real president of the United States."

"Usually, when people praise a person to such a height, it means that he is not far from falling from the altar. I didn't even know for a while whether you were praising me or hurting me by saying this."

"I don't mean anything else, I mean, I don't have so many curves." Kennedy said that I am indeed complimenting you.

Griffin raised his hand to stop the other party and said: "Okay, can you give me a few minutes to relax, I just arrived in New York, and you came over with a mountain of information. So during my absence Here, what happened?"

Griffin felt that she had missed something in the past two days, but she didn't care too much, because after listening to Kennedy's description, she felt that things were not as bad as she imagined.

After all, what's the matter with including me in the political game you adults are playing?Where do I have the ability to decide with a single word the fate of personnel at the highest level in a country?

"So, what you are worried about is that the operation plan of unlimited energy will face stagnation just because the Republicans come to power?" Although I have expressed anxiety that the two-party system in the United States is not as good as the one-party system, the fact is that the Democratic Party cannot continue to rule for a long time. Going forward, it now appears that the situation in which the Blue Party has dominated the political arena for nearly 30 years is about to be broken.

As for the worry you mentioned that there may be one emperor and one courtier, if Infinity Energy has been deeply bound to the United States, and it is completely inseparable from new energy, it does not matter who is in power.

But saying this will inevitably give the Democratic Party a sense of betrayal that will be thrown away after losing its use value. Of course, Griffin will not do this for no reason.

The reason why she was not in a hurry was mainly because of historical inertia.

Volume 287.5: [-] If You Help Me, I Will Help You

Eisenhower, who was originally a Republican, became a Democrat and achieved his own ideas through a series of measures during his administration, but in fact his ruling philosophy is that of the Republicans, so after the Republicans realized this, they put His own people, whom he regarded as the opposite camp, had no resistance to him.

Otherwise, some of his reform plans will not be implemented without hindrance in areas where the Republican Party votes.

The Democrats may not be aware of this, or they may be aware of it, but they will not tell the truth. Since he completed the domestic reforms under the guise of the Democratic Party, and the bulk of the honor belongs to the Democratic Party, they are open to the issue that his designated heir belongs to the Republicans. Close one eye.

This can be regarded as a tacit exchange of interests between each other, but the condition is that the successor can continue his political views.In this way, even if the rednecks who came to power later changed their foundations, the instigator and the highest honor belonged to Eisenhower, who was already a Democrat.

After all, the Democrats have ruled the country for nearly 30 years. Even if there is a slight deviation later, they are confident that they will regain their disadvantages.

Most of these reasons, Kennedy has not noticed, so he was a little impatient.

Do you want to make it clear to him?

"I think the president must have arranged for him to do this. Have you had a good talk with him?"

Kennedy nodded. "He told me that Nixon was the most suitable candidate." Having said that, he actually disagreed.

As a member of Ai Chao, I also participated in the whole process of infrastructure projects in the United States. In terms of proficiency in business, I am not inferior to the other party.The most important thing is that I am much more popular than that old man.

That being the case, why can't the person sitting in that seat be myself?

He hates imperial appointments. Although the presidential election is two years away, the successor has been appointed early. This behavior of making a decision without giving anyone a chance to try is contrary to American democracy.

Noticing the indignation on the other's face, Griffin laughed: "Maybe he shouldn't have told you the news."

Kennedy said angrily: "He really has no obligation to tell me this. If I hadn't mentioned to him that I want to campaign for the next president."

Oh, seeing that things can't be hidden, in order to prevent you and the Democratic Party from wasting campaign funds and time, did you just tell the whole story?

"Are you telling me this to get us to support your campaign?"

"Why not? I am young and handsome, and I am the perfect man in the eyes of many women. It is much better for a celebrity like me to be president than that sinister middle-aged man?"

It's not about competing for the chance to debut as an idol, so what's the use of being handsome?

"If I remember correctly, John, are you a Catholic?" In Protestant-dominated America, this is a huge minus item. Compared with the imperially appointed Nixon, he is at a natural disadvantage in the first place. "And on top of you, there is another older Lyndon Johnson, why don't they choose to support him who is more mature and prudent?"

"I don't think my religious beliefs are a big deal at all. It's just a way for my political enemies to attack me. It's a small trick. If they think so, then they have lost the competition. , I will beat them in other aspects."

In terms of optimism, Kennedy can show it from various angles.

"As for Johnson? He's like a stubborn old man. If everything depends on seniority, then there won't be a 226 mutiny, and the young and strong will send heaven to punish the country's thieves."

Your analogy... well, I admit that you did learn something by traveling the world.But can't you give a better example?

"Indeed, nothing in this world is absolute...but do you really intend to compete at this time?"

Kennedy was silent for a moment. He restrained the smile on his face, and said seriously, "Griffin, you should know about my illness, right?"

He has been weak and sick since he was a child, and he was diagnosed with Addison's disease a few years ago. His family claimed to outsiders that it was a hidden wound left by the war, but the actual situation was only known to a few closest people.

Griffin is one of them.

When he had a spinal attack, he finally recovered after receiving the prosthetic technology and perspective surgery produced by Infinite Company, and replaced the whole spine.This allowed him to stand up again while avoiding possible infection due to low immunity.

At that time, it was also widely reported as the world's first successful case of internal organ transplantation.

Otherwise, this man can walk with the wind now?

Seeing the other party nodded, Kennedy continued: "I recognize the advanced nature of infinite energy technology, but it can't replace my whole body. The visible bones and internal organs are okay, as for the invisible...low immunity Not only do I have problems with my spine, but at times I can feel a dull ache in my head."

"If Nixon becomes president, there is a great possibility that he will be re-elected. In this case, I will have to wait for nearly ten years. But with my current physical condition, I am afraid I cannot wait that long."

"It's not just that I can't wait, neither can my family. My father once told everyone that his son must be the president, although the person he said was actually my eldest brother...but as his son, I don't want to wait. Let him down. Let the old man see me in that seat at least while he's alive."

Joseph Sr. was once Roosevelt's ambassador to Britain. He was quite capable of making money, but he was eventually alienated because of his political disagreements with Roosevelt.Since then, he has become increasingly eager to keep his son in politics and continue the family tradition.

As the second son in the family, John was entrusted with all his father's hopes for a good eldest son. Although he had always acted cynically, in his heart, he didn't want his father to look up to him.

"Because if I don't sit in this seat, the pressure will be transferred to my two younger brothers. To put it bluntly, their political skills are worse than mine. So the political career and all hope of the Kennedy family is actually on me. .”

Rather than letting those two incompetent younger brothers bear such an important pressure, it is better to let me do it.It is unworthy to act forcefully, and in the end it will be used by others, which will not only embarrass the family but also damage the interests of the country.

But if it was me, it would be completely different, at least I know what I should do.And I also believe that on a personal level, no one knows you better than I do.

"So Griffin, for the sake of our friends for many years, give me a hand. When I take the stage, I will return to you."

Volume 287.6: [-] Let's take a look first

This is already an obvious proposal for cooperation.

Kennedy hadn't lied to her, he wasn't in good health to wait any longer.Addison's disease can lead to kidney disease, and the most direct symptom is decreased immunity, which will only get worse as time goes on.

But why does it always give her a feeling of "we are plotting something like villains"?

Having said that, why was Le Zong assassinated in the first place?One said it was revenge from the mafia, because he had reached an agreement with the other party during the campaign, and the mafia paid for him to be in that position, but liquidated them backhandedly after he was firmly established.

After Kennedy was assassinated, the power of the Mafia in the United States also declined rapidly under suppression.

This wave, it is true that the limit is changed to N.

So what if the Stark Group provides campaign funding this time?

Compared with the Mafia, we certainly cannot do such things as assassination, but the Stark Group itself has many enemies, and the power of the old stubborn old energy cannot be ignored.You choose us, and you offend them too.

Griffin thought for a long time, she raised her head and asked, "How do you plan to campaign?"

Asking this question seems to indicate that she has loosened up a bit. Kennedy continued: "Young people are the future of the country. They are full of vigor and hope, but they also lack channels to express their voices. I will let them see this. point."

Speaking of which, this is also due to the fact that Ai Chao's nationwide construction plan has benefited countless young people.Kennedy saw this and intended to use it as a powerful weapon in his own campaign.

If you don't know what the other party wants to do, such a declaration is too much like launching a fight.

"But that's not enough. You have to show them that you're there for them."

"I'll do it at every opportunity." Kennedy nodded. "So, you've actually agreed?"

Without answering his question, Griffin continued: "Before you can be a candidate for president, you have to be a candidate for the Democratic Party first."

"Lyndon Johnson is nothing to worry about. Even if he is the leader of the Democratic Party now, I will defeat him." Kennedy has sufficient confidence in this, and old-fashioned politicians with old thinking are not opponents of the new generation like him.

"There are still two years before the next presidential election. To be honest, I don't want to get involved too much. Whether it is Infinite Energy or Stark Group, they are too much attention at present." Griffin is not afraid of being said It is to use the president to manipulate the US government behind the scenes. She is much more reliable in controlling the United States than her opponents.Since the two sides are talking about business now, let's follow the rules of business. "Business is actually an investment, and so is running for president. If you can continue the current policy, support the space program, and focus on the longer-term development of the universe... I will consider this matter."

"There are still two years. Just look at my performance in the past two years." Kennedy understood Griffin's statement.He smiled optimistically.Given his stance as an anti-red camp, he will support any opportunity to hit his opponent.

Including the space program.

Griffin's request was exactly what he hoped for.

"I will stand among the crowd every day like you, otherwise I really can't explain to outsiders why my skin is getting darker."

"If you still have the same idea as today after two years, then we will continue today's topic." Griffin said. "But John, you should also understand the dispute between old and new energy sources. Howard and I still have the strength to protect ourselves, and I'm worried that you will become their target."

"Think about your Monroe, she can't live without you, and the child can't live without a father."

"Don't worry about us, Griffin. Even if there is no external force, my body can't last long. She has already prepared for this." Kennedy said. "I have been experiencing the test of death since I was a child, but I can overcome it every time. Only those who have experienced death can see things more clearly. I know that it will come to each of us sooner or later. Since It's just waiting ahead, so why should we worry about accidents and which will come first tomorrow?"

I have already enjoyed this world, and becoming the president is my obsession to realize my final value.For this reason, even if I can die in office like Roosevelt in the end, I am willing.

"Besides, you should think more about yourself than me." He looked at the woman and smiled. "I'm going to be the third person soon, haven't I waited for the Prince Charming in my heart? Could it be that you want to learn from Elizabeth I and never marry?"

Now that we're done talking about business, you're getting lost again, right?

If you still feel like a gentleman, you shouldn't talk about a woman's age.

"But I'm not like the queen, I have so many lovers." And, how do you know I don't have a partner?

I also have kids, two.They are all cuties who can fire artillery with a caliber of 120 mm or more.

"But you are no worse than her when it comes to the ability to have both sides."

"That's because it's not my looks that attract them," Griffin said. "Any woman with my wealth will be very popular. Do I need to give some examples of rich women?"

Regarding this, Kennedy took it with a laugh, and before leaving, he finally said: "I should ask Adele to ask you how to maintain a beautiful appearance when I have time."
