Chapter 447 I will give you all my loyalty!
The Willard InterContinental Hotel is not too well-known, but it is actually a special existence similar to some state hotels.
Located near the White House, it has a very long history and has received countless foreign dignitaries.
As one of the most famous hotels in the political center of the empire, many famous events that changed America and even the world took place here.
For example, Professor Jin’s famous speech "I Have a Dream" was written here.
To this day, there are still four presidential suites named after American generals in the hotel: Washington, Adams, Lincoln, and Jefferson—the only true presidential suites in the world.
Neither Temir nor President Cheng has purchased assets in Washington. After all, they are a new power group. Compared with the Kalamacris family, where Temir was born, their background is much worse.
So, Mi'er had to choose the location to meet Mike Peng in the Adams Suite - it was not that the Washington Suite could not be accommodated, but that there were state guests staying in Washington who would meet with the Commander-in-Chief tomorrow.
Mr. Secretary of State’s security team stayed outside the hotel. The security level of this hotel is not much worse than that of the White House. The only difference is that the service attitude of the hotel staff is much better than those in the White House. Much more.
As soon as Mike Peng entered the lobby, the manager who had been waiting in advance met him and led the Secretary of State from a separate elevator to the top floor.
In the public area that combines winding corridors with tea breaks, Mike Peng also met the entourage of state guests who lived here - their team thought that the Secretary of State of the United States was here to meet their leader.
I have to say that this kind of unconnected visit is a big bag, a super, invincible, big bag that makes my head spin.
"Dear Mr. Secretary of State, I am sorry that I did not receive advance notice of your meeting with our Prime Minister. This"
Under the premise that the Secretary of State of the United States cannot make mistakes, Mike Peng gave these The poor foreign friends are full of stress.
Mike Peng replied dumbfounded.
"No, no, I'm here to meet other people. Don't pay too much attention to it. Just relax - you are welcome to America."
As he said that, he walked away under the leadership of the manager who was also under pressure. Arriving at the door of Adams Suite.
Mier's bodyguard invited Mr. Secretary of State in. In the magnificent hall, Mier was chatting with Kevin, the well-known American Congressman of the Elephant Party.
Noticing the arrival of Mike Peng, Kevin stood up smartly and signaled that he had something to leave temporarily.
"Sorry, Ms. Temir, I may not be lucky today. I really have an event that I can't postpone. I'm very sorry."
The rich black-haired woman smiled and nodded, indicating that she understood.
Before leaving, McCarthy smiled at Mike Peng and said nothing more.
The strings in the Secretary of State's heart became even tighter. He was shaken by the overly beautiful Mi'er, but when he thought about the background behind the woman opposite, his swaying mind was like being suppressed by the five-finger mountain. Can't shake it at all.
“Ha, I didn’t expect you to know Kevin.” The Secretary of State had nothing to say and said politely.
“What do you think of him?”
Themir glanced at the Secretary of State with a scrutinizing look and asked.
It seems to be a screening, it seems to be a test. This kind of behavior of asking questions like a superior is extremely impolite, but the Secretary of State himself takes it for granted.
If a capitalist like Temir, who comes from a wealthy family and has countless assets, cannot enjoy privileges after participating in American politics, then is the United States still a capitalist country?
If the criterion for judging was money alone, there would be many people richer than Themir.
But Temir won the California Elephant Party. This is not outdated news in the Elephant Party. If the old and large and unworthy Elephant Party could have a real-time 'ranking list of the new generation geniuses in the party' , then some people in California on the west coast may be wiped out.
Wolf, the eldest brother on the list, and Temir, the second eldest sister on the list, one is a financial sponsor and a player who participates in the game, and the other is a financial sponsor and the boss behind the game.
In the largest and most developed deep-blue state in the United States, Honey and Wolf have revived the California Elephant Party, which is amazing.
From here, we can also see how precise the context of Mr. Cheng’s moves is.
The combination of Wolf + Temir requires money, people, and resources. It is already very transcendent in the Elephant Party and can become the basis of a long-term and stable alliance. .
As a new member of the Elephant Party establishment, when we start the California Elephant Party, no matter how high the expected upper limit is, the lower limit is already locked.
On this basis, President Cheng’s choice is to move closer to the powerful Donkey Party faction within the state, so as to achieve a controllable struggle situation. Outside the state, he strives to push Wolfe to win the second daughter of the commander-in-chief, and to increase the upper limit of his own faction. A shot in the arm.
The aspirations behind all seemingly irrelevant arrangements actually lead to the same goal through different approaches.
As for Mike Peng's wooing, it was caused by the new faction's need for its own spokesperson in Washington - of course, in terms of helping President Cheng build cars and helping capture the second daughter of the Commander-in-Chief , Mike Peng's existence actually has a bit of a master's meaning.
A person's value often depends not only on himself.
Trapped in the position of Secretary of State, Mike Peng can often only exercise his power as Secretary of State on the bed of his daughter-in-law, and regain his poor dignity in front of his daughter-in-law - this is a fact.
But if he has the support of Mr. Cheng and Themir, his power can be used more unscrupulously and play a greater role at some point. This is also a fact.
Sacrifice oneself for the sake of the country. Such an idiot cannot sit in the position of Secretary of State in today's American political environment. The wonderful moment when the murderer did not change his tone during the hearing has millions and tens of millions on Station B. Playing - This is the main ending of Secretary of State of the United States.
The interests of the system and the interests of individuals within the system are two different things. Especially when a system does not reward the just, this conflict of interest becomes particularly prominent and will affect the decision-making of participants in all aspects.
For example, how did the great leader of the United States change from a dictatorial leader to a sculpture trapped in a white house?
For example, how do American bureaucrats ignore the Secretary of State?
For example, how did the so-called deep state govern the United States step by step until it became completely incapacitated?
A closer look will reveal the game between economic and political power and the limitations of capitalism itself - Ma Sheng is indeed great.
There is no winner in the death spiral of capitalism. On a large enough scale, every player involved in the game must abide by the rules. This is essentially a zero-sum game.
So, how would you answer?
Mi'er looked at the nervous Mike Peng, waiting for his answer to the test.
"Kevin is a good person. He has high expectations for his future, which makes him appear to be a disciplined warrior. I have been a colleague of him on Capitol Hill for a long time and am deeply impressed by him. .
Soldiers tend to be obsessed with specific battles. After becoming obsessed with them, they forget why they are fighting and eventually lose their direction.
But there is no doubt that Kevin has done many extraordinary things. For critical work, we need people like him - cross-party cooperation needs people who are willing to sacrifice their own political positions to promote it."
The black-haired rich woman nodded, Mike Peng almost pointed out. All the characteristics of politicians like Kevin.
He has great fighting power and always tries his best to achieve his goals.
Slightly less principled, but good at cross-party cooperation.
But it’s essential. We can’t always fight to the end. Someone needs to be the ‘finisher’ at certain critical moments.
Kevin McCarthy is the pinnacle product of traditional politicians. In an era when the two parties need to cooperate, he rose to prominence as a representative of the Elephant Party by virtue of his superior ability in cross-party cooperation.
Later he became the Speaker of the House of Representatives of the United States for a time, but in the future when conflicts intensify and struggles become extreme, this kind of 'middleman' who pleases both sides has lost the value of his existence.
This is why President Cheng is determined to use Kevin McCarthy to inflict a small organizational shock on the California Elephant Party.
Brother, you are going to get cold sooner or later, why don’t you get cold sooner?
Boss Cao’s gold content is still rising - Bao, let’s discuss a matter and lend you my head!
Oh, you don’t agree?
Don’t worry, your wife will be taken care of by me! "Have you ever thought about what you are going to do next after your term ends?"
For Mike Peng, this question from Tamir was the most vivid expression of his attitude.
The Secretary of State of the United States is a rare key position in the political sequence-the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Empire!
Many candidates for leadership and even some leaders have served as Secretary of State!
But Mike Peng obviously knows that he does not have that strength.
He is a Capitol Hill-type politician supported by financial backers. He has no base of his own and no political power of his own. This is the problem.
"Ms. Temir, you know, I have been a member of parliament before. In fact, I have a solid foundation for politics."
Mike Peng's breathing was slightly nervous, but his words were still very organized, or rather , very interesting.
There is a foundation, but it is only a foundation.
The rich black-haired woman hesitated for a moment, and the suite fell into suffocating silence.
Michael Peng is waiting and Themir is thinking.
After a long time, she finally spoke.
"What is the promise that the Koch brothers made to you?"
Mike Peng replied somewhat uneasily.
"I'm not one of them"
"What?" Themir asked in surprise.
"Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to take the position of Secretary of State." Mr. Secretary of State replied with some shame.
The Secretary of State of the United States is nominated by the leaders. Mike Peng is the product of compromise between the establishment and the leaders. He is not an establishment member and has nothing to do with MAGA, but he is 'obedient' enough.
His orders can't even leave the State Council of the United States (this title is not quite right, but to prevent harmonization, it can only be written like this). The time when he looks most like the Secretary of State is in the bed of his daughter-in-law!
"I am planning to build a new university. Some old universities will be merged in. The school will be located in San Luodu. Mike, if you are willing, you can become the president of this university after retirement."
What is Qinggui?
Being the president of a university is almost the pinnacle of the aristocratic professions that can be chosen. The promise given by Temir is not only tempting, it is almost succubus-level!
Don’t think that there are no so-called nobles in Western America. The bureaucracy and politicians may not be interested in academic bigwigs, but that’s the president of a university!
However, there is something extraordinary about Mr. Secretary of State being able to become a senator and the elephant party’s compromise choice.
Facing the cake given by Mi'er, Mike Peng did not lose his personality. He lowered his head and said sincerely.
"Ms. Temir, I believe your university will become a great school, but in terms of personal development, I think I would still like to contribute to the United States."
Sister, although you are three rounds younger than me, I call you sister.
Give me a chance, I want to make progress so much.
“Why didn’t you talk to the Koch brothers?”
Koch Industries is the largest unlisted industrial group in the United States. It is like a big party financier, spending hundreds of millions of dollars every year to get started.
Kevin and Mike both took their money—the leading students at T&T did not!
At the beginning, when the commander-in-chief was running for the election, he even visited him in person, but he didn't get it.
“They agreed with me, but Koch Industries was a diversified bet, you know.”
Mike Peng was betting!
It is rare to fight back in life, and he already knows about the turmoil of the California Elephant Party.
Yes, the storm.
The California Elephant Party, led by Wolf and Temel, does not welcome Kevin McCarthy. This incident has already caused waves within the Elephant Party.
In the Donkey Party, the seemingly inseparable California Gang and Black Satan can fight to the point of pulling hair from behind.
Is the Xiang Party a monolith?
Stop it!
MAGA and the pro-establishment camp just send people to kill each other!
Mike Peng is betting on the prospects of Tamir, a new group of powerful local Elephant Party factions!
"Mike, there is no way you can win the general election, there is no possibility!"
The black-haired rich woman gave President Cheng's conclusion, and she believed in President Cheng.
Unfortunately, this kind of truth is so cruel that it makes Mr. Secretary of State’s face look abnormal.
“But I can give you a different future. The power of the Donkey Party on the West Coast will always ebb. Wolfe and I are investing heavily now in order to gain opportunities in the next era.
We're young enough and your kids are young enough that we have a chance to be friends, don't we? ”
The mutual transformation of contradictions sounds like an abstract concept, but this is an extremely cruel truth.
No matter how high your mind is, the contradictions are there, and they are constantly transforming. The development of boundaries.
Specifically, Temir's logic points out the inevitability of changes in political trends and popular ideologies.
Because they are young enough, she and Wolfe do have a relationship. Opportunity to see your choices come to fruition
As soon as the black-haired rich woman said this, Mike Peng's spirit became visibly excited.
Themir gave almost the most extraordinary promise.
Believe it or not believe it, this is a difficult choice.
"What do you want me to do, Ms. Temir."
The rich black-haired woman smiled and finally saw her.
"Use your influence as a college president in the future - you were secretary of state and helped shape the agenda.
Building our business on the West Coast, out of California, Mike, that should be quite an accomplishment. It’s a sexy job, isn’t it?”
Now, Mr. Secretary of State finally understands the ambitions of the leader of the California Elephant Party.
Themir and Wolff do not belong to any faction. They form their own faction and plan to build their own empire!
"Madam, I will give you all my loyalty. If you don't dislike my shallow wisdom, I will use all my wisdom to serve you!"
shit!
Themir does not need loyalty, and Mr. Cheng never expects loyalty - just like Achilles does not care whether his subordinates are loyal or not.
"Okay, Mike, now you can participate in our cause." Mi'er said.
She came to Washington this time not to listen to nonsense from old guys like Mike Peng, but because she had something to do that needed him to do!
