When Joseph Kennedy saw that Zhang Yang was Chinese, he didn't want to talk to him, not because he discriminated against Chinese Americans, but because the political power of the Chinese was too weak. But Zhang Yang's words about "we" made Joseph's heart beat. This "we"
"Who does it represent? Is it a family, a company, a state, or a force? In short, this word is too deceptive.
Zhang Yang paid attention when he saw Joseph Kennedy's expression, and knew that his words had hit him.
This was when the game was in full swing, and few fans came to the bathroom, so he could talk to Joseph Kennedy safely.
"Who are you?" asked Joseph Kennedy.
Zhang Yang smiled slightly and said: "We are a group of like-minded people. You also know that Chinese Americans have been living in the United States for a long time, but there are very few members of Congress who can enter the Congress, let alone higher-level positions. We used to be busy
We are trying to make money and have not considered these things, but times have changed, and we also have our own political demands, so we need a partner. After we held a meeting and discussed it, we decided that the Kennedy family is a good partner."
Joseph Kennedy said doubtfully: "Oh? Why us?"
Zhang Yang said: "Because of your family's history and current situation. The Kennedy family was once one of the most important political families in the United States, ruling the entire United States. Originally, your family could have had three or more presidents, but the current situation is that you have been
Marginalized. We need a partner. We can support him to achieve higher political achievements, and even support him to become president, but this person cannot be too strong and must have a common enemy with us."
Joseph Kennedy repeated: "Common enemy? Who are you talking about?"
"Of course it is the people who have led the Kennedy family to become what they are today. They now control the U.S. Congress, control the throne of the U.S. President, suppress and force all emerging forces that can pose a threat to them. We want to seek greater change in politics.
If you want to make more breakthroughs, you will have to face them. And if your family wants to regain its glory, you will inevitably have conflicts with them. This is the basis of our cooperation." Zhang Yang said.
In fact, everyone knows what the so-called curse of the Kennedy family is! There are so many coincidences. It seems that all accidents happened to the Kennedy family. In fact, it was just the force behind the assassination of brothers John F. Kennedy and Robert Kennedy.
, fearing that the Kennedy family would regain its glory, and investigating what happened back then, this so-called curse came into being.
If it weren't for Edward Kennedy, a smart and long-term senator who remained contentedly in Massachusetts after being prevented from participating in the presidential election by a conspiracy, whether the Kennedy family could continue would have been a question. Precisely because of Edward Kennedy's presence, the Kennedy family continued to have unexpected events.
It can still survive. In fact, after John F. Kennedy Jr. died unexpectedly again, the Kennedy family basically gave up on the family's ideals.
But Joseph Kennedy was not willing to do this. Everything the Kennedy family had suffered in the past half century was like a nail in his heart. He always thought about revenge against these people and wanted to ascend to the throne of the President of the United States. This
This was also the reason why he resolutely joined politics at the age of thirty. However, he also knew the difficulties he had to face, so he was always cautious.
Hearing what Zhang Yang said, Joseph Kennedy felt that there was a glimmer of light in the dark future. However, as a political figure, he would not believe everyone easily, so he still had doubts in his eyes and asked: "Because of this, you
Choose me?"
"Haha, this is enough for us. I have to say that although everything that happened to the Kennedy family has greatly weakened you, it is precisely because of everything that happened that the people of the United States have not forgotten the Kennedy family. This is the biggest reason for your rise.
Power. You have a reputation that no other politician has. This is your family's advantage and the reason why your family is targeted," Zhang Yang said.
Joseph Kennedy nodded. He knew this very well. Otherwise, he would not have been easily elected to the House of Representatives.
"How are you going to work together?" Joseph Kennedy asked.
Zhang Yang smiled and said: "There's no rush, I'm just here to send a message. If you have the intention to cooperate, we will continue to communicate. If not, we will look for another partner. We have money, people, and important things
We have time. We have been waiting for a century. We don’t care if we wait for decades. If we can reach an agreement, we will support you behind the scenes. This support is not a day, a month, or a year, but ten years.
, twenty years, even thirty years, until you sit in that position."
"What do I have to pay?" Joseph Kennedy asked with concern.
Zhang Yang laughed happily. It seemed that Joseph Kennedy was tempted. He was also a family that had lost hope. When it saw the hope of rising, of course it had to be firmly grasped.
"Guarantee our interests. We just want to live a better life in the United States. In fact, you also know that the presidents of the United States are supported by various forces. Without the support of these people, they will never have a chance to be elected based on their own personal strength. And they
After being elected, we must ensure the power of these investors, and the same is true for us. Because our investment is longer than theirs, and the return required is higher." Zhang Yang said.
Joseph Kennedy took a few steps back and forth and asked, "Just me?"
"How is this possible? We have many candidates, and we can only say that you are one of the higher ones. You also know that every force has its own open and covert struggles. You were selected by us, and others were also selected.
Who can stand out depends on your ability. Of course, in this regard, I will provide you with the help you need. Or to put it more clearly, if you choose to cooperate, then you and I are tied together. You failed,
It also represents my failure. If you succeed, I will succeed too. So you don’t have to doubt my purpose." Zhang Yang said.
Joseph Kennedy's breathing became rapid. He knew that this was an unprecedented opportunity, but he could not make a decision easily. As Zhang Yang said, he was a member of the Kennedy family, not just a person. His decision related to a family.
In the future, I will not agree so hastily.
"I need some time to think about it." Joseph Kennedy said. He not only had to think about it, but also discussed it with his family.
Zhang Yang nodded understandingly and said: "This is my email address. You can send me an email. It's best to keep it secret. The Prism Project is a bit too appalling. This is why we seek a political breakthrough."
Joseph Kennedy nodded and said, "I understand."
As a free American, he also hates the feeling of being monitored.
Looking at the mailbox in his hand, Joseph Kennedy tore up the note and threw it into the toilet. When he looked back, Zhang Yang had disappeared.
After walking out of the bathroom, Zhang Yang left the court with Catherine who was not far away.
Until she got on the small plane to Montana, Catherine didn't ask any questions. She knew that Zhang Yang definitely didn't come here to watch a football game, but she didn't ask what the boss was doing. She was a professional bodyguard and knew
Some things are better not to know than to know.
"Catherine, how did you become a bodyguard?" Zhang Yang asked curiously.
Catherine said: "Of course it's to make money!"
"Actually, what I want to ask is where did you learn to be so good at it?" Zhang Yang said.
Catherine's eyes flashed with hatred: "troops."
Zhang Yang looked at Catherine in surprise and didn't expect that she was actually a soldier. Thinking of a movie he watched when he was a child, Zhang Yang asked curiously: "I watched a movie that seemed to be about West Point Military Academy. The heroine in it looked like
I was raped by many officers! Do these things really exist in the American military?"
Catherine's hands trembled, and then she said coldly: "Boss, reality is even crueler than movies."
After speaking, Catherine fell silent. Thinking of those inhuman days in the army, her hands grabbed her thighs, and her nails almost dug into the flesh.
