This trip is still in a hurry.
Nathan and Jenny, these days, they have almost traversed most of the territory of the United States. Fortunately, they don’t need to drive and sit in the back seat of a Lincoln sedan, which is more comfortable.
Now, although they were called back by an emergency, Nathan and Jenny did not worry about the country and the people for this emergency. After all, this has little to do with the United States.
If the United States has to worry about the world, how busy should the President of the United States be? They only worry about where they are of interest.
At least for Grumman, this is a good thing.
And Jenny went back because of these things and needed the approval of the Congress. She was going back to vote. As for another aspect, it was to see what instructions the family had, and what instructions Grandpa had.
Although Jenny's status in Congress is not high, every time Jenny speaks, she wins the respect of some people, because in many cases, the hideous and terrifying family transmits information through Jenny.
"Nathan, how do you feel?" Jenny asked Nathan while sitting in the car.
"As long as I can be with you, you can go anywhere." Nathan said: "However, since this kind of incident has happened this time, I would like to ask you to make a suggestion in Congress."
This is simply interfering with the freedom of the congressman. At this time, Jenny was feeling Nathan's hand walking on her body and said, "What do you suggest
"My suggestion is to immediately recall all the staff of our embassy in the BS country and temporarily close the embassy." Nathan said.
Hearing Nathan's words, Jenny's blurred eyes suddenly opened again: "What did you say?"
What does it mean to close an embassy in a certain country? That is the prelude to the war. As the supreme leader of the West, how can the United States do such a thing
"Maybe you don't understand it yet, but soon, you will know." Nathan said: "This can minimize our losses, and it will also allow President Carter to secure his position."
In fact, this pacifist president should have stepped down a long time ago. In history, it was this incident that prompted him to step down. If you don't ask yourself, that end is simply doomed.
However, Nathan still couldn't stand by.
Carter's position will naturally be challenged by the next person running for president, but this incident will greatly reduce the reputation of the United States, especially the US military, will also be subjected to extreme accusations.
Taxpayers’ money is used to protect taxpayers. The U.S. military must protect the safety of any U.S. citizen. Just like in the ancient Roman Empire, any ancient Roman can walk the world upright. In the corner, because behind them, is that powerful country.
However, this incident caused this belief to vanish.
Now, Nathan does not want such a thing to happen, so closing the embassy should be a precautionary choice.
"Nathan, this is impossible." Jenny said: "Such a proposal will not be passed in Congress, but...you can promote this argument when appropriate."
Jenny is going to continue to train Nathan to become a magic stick. If Nathan predicts this way and the final prediction is true, then everyone will admire his judgment even more.
The true prophet is actually the most reasonable guess based on the mastery and analysis of various data.
This is good for Nathan's political development.
"Oh, no!" Nathan said to Jenny, "There are hundreds of people there, Jenny, you don’t understand, the current BS country has been completely in turmoil. The people there have no moral values, yes. Without reason, our so-called international standards will not work there. If we cannot make a decision in advance, it will put hundreds of people at risk and drag us into the abyss."
Nathan looked at Jenny: "Trust me, Jenny, this is our best plan."
Jenny shook her head: "Nathan, I believe you unconditionally, but what about others? You like fighting, because on the battlefield, there won’t be too many conspiracies, there will be no secret arrows behind it, but politically It’s different. There is no benefit for us to do this."
Even if Nathan's proposal can be passed and withdrawn, what then
There will be no more then. If the avoided disaster situation occurs, then who knows that it will happen? Some people may even suspect that Nathan's actions are irrational, and this suspicion will increase over time.
On the contrary, if it was Nathan who proposed it and didn't get support, but in the end it happened. At this time, when everyone thinks of Nathan's proposal again, they will feel how foresighted Nathan is, and then they will admire him.
Nathan is not a fool, and Jenny's explanation has already made Nathan understand.
Nathan covered his head, this damn politics!
Politicians are worse than capitalists. Capitalists only exploit the working people and care about their interests, while politicians need all kinds of calculations. It doesn't matter whether they benefit the country or not, but they must benefit themselves.
"Nathan, I understand you. Actually, over the years, I have felt that when we were at Miramar Air Station, we were the happiest, because at that time, I didn't need to calculate." Jenny said.
Born in a big family, she has to learn to count since she was a child, count everyone's mind, and count how to achieve her goal. Even when she was Nathan’s secretary to Mirama, Jenny was her grandfather. It was agreed.
Now think about it, when I was there, I was the happiest. I didn't need to calculate with Nathan. As for that Emily, as long as she was a little careful, she would be able to guess her.
"Of course, there is another way." Jenny continued: "Nathan, you can be president, as long as you become president, then you have the power to do what you want to do."
Nathan shook his head: "Forget it, when I become president, I still have to be calculated by so many capitalists and big families, and my power has to be controlled by Congress. I still want to be a pilot, and I will be happy."
The two stopped talking, looking at the dark sky outside the car, silently.
Nathan heard Jenny sigh.
If there were no such bad things, and there were only two people in the world, how good would it be! It's a pity, this is impossible. People, the more they grow up, the more troubles there will be. Now, Jenny has to face more challenges for Nathan and for the future of the two. (End of this chapter)
