Chapter 96 Commander Luo wants to pick peaches (first update, please collect it)
As a life mentor, you always need to tell all the stories.
Not a story, but a chicken soup.
People in the 21st century have long been immune to chicken soup, but for people in the 1940s, chicken soup was very useful.
Although Truman turned from a middle school student to a failed businessman and then to a politician, he is definitely the protagonist of chicken soup. However, no matter how inspirational a person is, there are times when he is confused, and this is when a spiritual mentor appears to give guidance.
From this point of view, Li Yi'an is undoubtedly competent. Without him, he understands history. Without him, he has seen too much chicken soup.
Any of those chicken soups are definitely delicacies in this era.
After telling the story of Chicken Soup, Truman was no longer confused and found his goal in life. People also become more confident. Of course, the friendship with Li Yi'an has also become deeper.
Finally, after listening to Chicken Soup, Truman said.
"Li, you must be curious as to why I suddenly invited you to come to Washington."
"It's a bit sudden."
Finally it's time to get to the point. Leaning on the back of the sofa, Li Yian smiled.
Is the shock body next?
“Actually, it’s not just me who needs your help, there is another person who needs your help now.”
“Oh?”
Looking at Truman, Li Yian certainly knew who that person was.
Who can make Truman come forward?
It should be said that Truman came forward to find him. After all, not many people knew about his relationship with him.
This man has a lot of face!
The answer is obvious.
Besides, this was all planned by me! Of course, I still have to cooperate.
"Is it the president?"
Truman was stunned for a moment and said in surprise.
“You know?”
Seeing that he didn’t speak, Truman leaned forward slightly and said.
"Yes, the President needs your help!"
"The President has been having a hard time recently because of the "Europe First" policy. Dewey's knives pierced his heart. Even John Basilone complained to reporters that the rifle he used was probably the M1903 rifle his father used in Europe, and he complained that the Marine Corps was a stepmother..."
John Basilone is The "Machine Gun Immortal" who killed more than a thousand people with machine guns on Guadalcanal. He had just received the Medal of Honor and was participating in a war bond fundraiser across the country. He was the most popular figure in the United States. He complained to reporters, This made Luo Laizi's life even more difficult.
For Luo Zizi, who is determined to win a fourth re-election, he now urgently needs to get out of his current predicament.
The only question is, what help does he want?
It should be said that what he can give!
Or what price you are willing to pay!
Truman... is just a middleman!
"So, the president needs to prove to the outside world that he attaches no less importance to the Asian battlefield than Europe, and... he has also done many things personally."
Li Yian's tone remains the same. In fact, when he was planning all that, he had also considered how much impact the butterfly's wings would have on Luo Laizi after flapping its wings.
Will this affect his re-election?
Actually, this is not important.
Historically, Roosevelt was elected by a narrow margin, and Dewey... was more than just a supporting role.
That’s why Luo Zizi is so nervous. After all, this is his fourth re-election! Can Americans accept it?
Luo Laizi is in a hurry now! He was worried that this incident would affect his re-election!
So he must buy himself insurance!
Where is the insurance?
On my body!
That’s why he let Truman find him!
Everything was as planned, even as a part of the plan, Truman didn't know, he was just a part of it!
This is the advantage of standing on the shoulders of historical giants!
Truman couldn't help but froze and looked at Li Yian in surprise.
“You know all this?”
Looking at Truman calmly, Li Yian smiled and said nothing, looking like he was enjoying himself.
"Arms!"
Truman said.
"The President hopes that you can tell the outside world that the batch of arms was arranged by General Clark, commander of the Italian Fifth Army, under his authorization. The captured German supplies were handed over to you and then transported by your shipping company. On the Chinese side, of course, it is in the form of personal donation."
After finishing speaking, Truman stared at Li Yi'an.
Li Yian didn't either, and took a sip of tea silently.
The unexpected appearance of a batch of arms brought too many changes.
These days, because of those arms, he has become a well-known patriotic rich man. Of course, he has also become a fat sheep in the eyes of everyone.
Almost everyone wants something from themselves.
Money or profit.
But they never knew that he had already started playing cards from the moment he decided to donate those arms back to the country.
In this house of cards, where is the ultimate king?
Just use it on Luo Laizi!
Luo Laizi never dreamed that he had been plotted as early as a few months ago!
Now Luo Laizi is here too!
As planned, he needed to use that batch of arms to respond to the doubts from the outside world.
In fact, Li Yian didn't care much about the false reputation brought by that batch of arms. After all, it was just a false reputation.
But he needed Roosevelt's help.
Business!
There is always something to talk about.
"Such an answer will definitely be questioned by the outside world. For example, why are they captured arms? And it must be done secretly."
"This is very simple."
Truman explained.
Taking out a document from the desk, Truman said again.
“These photos were taken by photographers on the front line.”
As a result, Li Yian saw the soldiers standing in the photos cheering!
After saying that, Truman looked at Li Yian.
“What do you think?”
