Chapter 1669 The Sad Pot King
"Sir, do you have a reservation?"
"Someone before me, Essenhower..."
The hospitality took him to the back booth, and Li Zitao also saw Esenhower who stood up and laughed happily, "Charlie, haha, come here and let me hug you."
"Hey!" Li Zitao said deliberately: "When did you become so sentimental, I don't want to be misunderstood."
"Come here!" Esenhow stepped forward and stretched out his hands, gave him a bear hug, and patted his back, as if he had been waiting for it for a long time.
Li Zitao could notice that he had experienced some things, which made him particularly grateful for his present.
It’s not myself, but something that changes his thoughts and attitudes, making him feel glad of everything he has in life.
"Is something wrong?"
Li Zitao looked at him and said seriously: "Don't hide it from me, what happened?"
Esenhower fell silent and smiled miserably after a long time: "Do you know I have two children?"
Li Zitao thought for a while and said, "Yes, I know... that's a tragedy."
Seeing his extremely heartache expression, Li Zitao said incrediblely: "No, don't tell me that the tragedy happened again, it's unfair!"
Essenhau said with tears in his eyes: "Yes, this is not fair, but this is reality."
His youngest son left because of an accident.
I should have forbidden him to go... I drove a small plane to Bermuda for vacation with my friend, but I shouldn't have promised him to go.
"Dwight, don't do this, you don't want it." Li Zitao held his shoulder and said with a heavy expression.
Li Zitao empathized with the feeling of losing his beloved. Whenever he recalled it, the gap in his heart seemed to magnify infinitely, instantly swallowing the entire heart.
The feeling of loneliness and loss, as if the whole heart was melting from the inside out, was enough to make anyone collapse and cry.
Esenhower's hand was stained with a lot of blood, and his command could determine the life and death of countless lives.
For him, the withering of life should be a common norm.
But when life and death involve their own children, even he couldn't help but burst into tears.
He pinched the corners of his eyes with his hands and wiped away the tears in his eyes without any trace. Esenhao smiled and said, "Thank you, Charlie, you are a good person."
Another 'good guy card was given by an old man.' For the sake of the other party's son just died, Li Zitao generously chose to forgive him.
The atmosphere at the dinner table fell silent. When the wine was delivered before the meal was delivered, Essenhau personally poured wine for the two of them and said, "Go for a drink."
"cheers."
There was no need for any reason to celebrate or remembrance. The two drank it all in one go, and Esenhow's expression gradually returned to normal.
Put down the wine glass and smash it a few times. Esenhau wiped his mouth with a dining cloth and said, "You should know, I'm in the presidential election."
"Yes." Li Zitao nodded to show that he knew.
"My campaign team believes that if I can expand my contribution and performance in World War II, coupled with the promise to end the war, I can easily enter Washington."
"What do you think?"
Esenhao thought he had said it clearly enough, but Li Zitao's rebellious question made him wonder how to answer.
Seeing his hesitant look, Li Zitao asked again: "If you enter Washington, will it really end like a promise?"
Essenhau instinctively said, "Yes," but when he met Li Zitao's gaze, those words were like a thorn in his throat.
Esenhao's inner thoughts had never been told to anyone, but at this time, Li Zitao on the opposite side seemed to be able to see through his heart at a glance, making the excuse for perfunctory being pale before he could speak out.
He took out the cigar box, Li Zitao lit it and handed him the cigarette, and then lit another one for himself. The two of them sat face to face and sniffled.
"If you can end the war as you promised, I will fully support you in Washington, otherwise..."
"otherwise?"
"I think I have a better candidate."
Hearing Li Zitao say this, Esenhao's eyes narrowed slightly and asked with danger, "Oh? The person you value must be extraordinary. Can you tell me who it is?"
"Just a young man, there is still a long way to go."
Li Zitao smiled mysteriously, but in the other person's eyes, it seemed unfathomable and unpredictable.
In fact, he had no suitable candidate at all, but wanted to use "False" to force Essenhau.
Before being elected, he agreed to end the Peninsula War.
But as soon as he was elected and went to the peninsula in person, he immediately changed his mind when he came back and unswervingly expressed his support for the continued war.
In fact, the war is almost out of progress at this time.
MacArthur is about to be removed from office, and the US military on the peninsula is even more beaten to doubt his life.
Why are the opponent's weapons not good, equipment not good, but it's good to fight?
They are the most terrifying enemies the U.S. military has encountered since its founding.
In order to win, they could rush into the fortress with explosives under the machine gun fire, holding a rain of bullets and ignite the lead.
In order to cover his comrades, he rushed to the bunker all the way, blocked the machine gun hole with his body, and opened up a road to victory for the charge troops.
After being shot several times, he used his last force to rush into the Allied bunker, ignited the fuse and died with more than 40 Allied soldiers.
The legs were broken, and there was only one person left in the entire position. We had to hold our position and use machine guns to launch strafing the charge Allies.
When they rushed to the position and just saw that their enemy was a dying person whose body disappeared from below the crotch and blood flowed all over the ground, the other party pulled out the three grenades that were only left in his arms...
The quality of the US military during this period was quite high. Although it was shocked, it was also daring to fight.
It is also a good time to play with bayonets and hand-to-hand combat.
But the key is that it can't stand the number of people in the family!
On one side, one dies less, and on the other side, three dies three dies. How can I fight?
The domestic anti-war sentiment has been rising one after another, making the presidential campaign a promise that "arrest" is the main responsibility for term office can become the greatest political capital.
MacArthur was dismissed because Washington urgently needed a worthy stakeholder. He happened to be the most famous and had the highest military rank, so it was just right to take it to the pot.
Li Zitao remained silent, and Esenhao was also thinking about who would be the other candidate in his heart?
Li's support is not only verbal words, or simply giving money.
The "verbal" he masters is enough to influence the public opinion direction of the entire society, especially the "News Weekly" under the name of LANC.
It is known as the "warp of civilian politics," the "policy guide," the "political lancet," every decree and action that has been analyzed to the core of the government since its establishment.
In the eyes of civilians, politics is no longer an unfathomable, unattainable, mysterious and weird thing, but a problem that everyone can participate in and is closely related to themselves.
In Washington's eyes, News Weekly can be called a "public opinion stirrer," and confronting the sky, the earth and the air. No matter who it is, he dares to catch it and bite it.
What's even more serious is that the other party's articles and analysis always hit the nail on the head, which hit the authorities' pain.
It doesn’t matter whether you die or not. Anyway, don’t think it’s intact. If you can settle in Washington, who hasn’t gotten some yellow soup that can’t be wiped clean yet?
