Chapter 727: Something to Ask For

In Washington, D.C., walk from Capitol Hill downtown, turn a few blocks and you'll see an Italian restaurant called Fiona.

The restaurant is said to have a strong Democratic background, and as a Democrat, Vice President Joe Deng and Nanming have dinner here. (Well, the vice president is fictitious, so please don't sit in the opposite seat.) ）

When Nan Ming walked in, the small storefront was a little deserted, and several Secret Service agents were guarding the door, and they were still sitting at the table next to Qiao Deng.

On weekends, Fiona is only open for dinner, and the restaurant that is not officially open seems to have opened early because of Jordon.

Before coming in, Nanming was also searched, which made him a little unhappy.

It is said that in front of the Secret Service, the mention of the assassination of Kennedy and the loss of shoes by George W. Bush will make them furious, I don't know if it is true.

When he was searched, Nanming wanted to try it.

Fortunately, the body search of Nanming was more symbolic, and then the tall black bodyguard was sideways and let him go.

Jordon smiled at him and said, "I'm sorry, but as vice president, it seems that there is only such a small privilege. ”

Having the close protection of the Secret Service is one of the few privileges of the vice president.

Another prerogative of the vice president is to take over the president's position in the first line of appointment after the president hangs up, resigns, or is impeached.

In history, there have been eight vice presidents who have successfully succeeded to the presidency.

In the movie, there was a plot by the vice president to kill the president and succeed him, after all, the president of the United States is the most powerful person in the world. Not one of them.

In addition, the vice president is more like a press spokesman and mascot, as well as the spokesperson of the president, and when it comes to actual power, even the most powerful vice president must be ranked below the secretary of state and the presidents of the two parliaments.

Such a life. It's definitely not a good mood.

Not to mention, Jordon did not have any great prestige in his political career, and the highest achievement in his life was only becoming vice president, he was more like a little transparent.

But even so, Jorden's influence far exceeds that of ordinary congressmen, after all, this is an old man who has been immersed in American politics for most of his life.

I saw Nan Ming come in. Jordon stood up and looked at Nanming with a smile.

Nanming quickened his pace and came to Jordon's face.

Both of them looked at each other.

Today's Nanming, dressed in a well-fitting formal suit and a steady suit, completely conceals the disadvantage of his age, and looks a lot more mature.

Jorden, on the other hand, is always in a civilian suit. A red tie that looks like an office white-collar worker everywhere.

It's just a little older.

Nanming glanced back. Sit down in front of Jorden.

Zhao Gaofeng found a random place by the door and sat down, and McGovern, who was hanging one arm, sat next to Zhao Gaofeng with a pale face.

After the last attack, McGovern was in bed for three days and was finally able to get out of bed, which makes people have to sigh. His life is really big.

As soon as he got out of bed, he returned to work, and at the same time, he brought in more than thirty agents from the OTMC to protect the South Underworld throughout the process. Now when Nanming goes out, there is at least a convoy to protect it.

Jordon had a glass of wine in front of him, and after he sat down, he didn't speak for a moment, but was immersed in his emotions.

Jordon's expression was a little depressed.

"I'm sorry, you don't mind if I have a drink. He picked up the glass in front of him and drank it down.

Nan Ming fiddled with the wine glass in front of him and said, "If this is in China, I will have a drink with you, but unfortunately, if I drink with you here, there will be a sheriff who will come to arrest me." ”

Qiao Deng smiled, but he didn't smile much, and he didn't say much about Nanming's just right joke.

Nan Ming swallowed and spit, Qiao Deng didn't seem to be as easy to get along with as he imagined, but Nan Ming was not worried, because Nan Ming knew why Qiao Deng was so depressed.

Jordon and his first wife's son, 46-year-old Joseph, has reached the terminal stage of brain cancer and is estimated to have few days to live.

Jordon's eldest son is also an excellent lawyer and successful politician, Jordon has always felt that his son will achieve greater achievements than himself, and even believes that he will one day, become the president of the United States.

But this day has not yet come, and everything will come to an abrupt end.

Sending a white-haired person to a black-haired person is the most painful thing in the world.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been. Jordon shook his head, "Makes you laugh." ”

"No, I understand how a father feels at this time. ”

Ever since Pandora's Box came to the United States and was controlled by OTMC, Jordon has always wanted to see Nanming.

Under the influence of authority, he will subconsciously regard Nan Ming as "his own person", but the so-called own people here are only similar to "his own subordinates", or just refer to a camp, he thinks that Nan Ming is in their camp.

Because Jordon doesn't want to get a "Pandora's box" as strongly as the people at OTMC.

This of his own people is very broad, and when placed in the political parties, the Democratic Party is his own people. In the whole country, the OTMC is its own people, the Secret Service is its own people, and in the whole world, the whole United States is its own people.

Therefore, he just wants to see Nan Ming, see this legendary person, and see if he can grab any political resources, that's all.

Although he has always been vice president, Jordon has never given up on becoming president, and although there is little hope, he has always supported it.

Unfortunately, if he competes next year, his rival will be a terrifying opponent, the current Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

So now Jordon is struggling with delusions and despair.

"I'm here today to ask for something. "Nanming Dao, straight to the point, not much greetings, foreigners don't like the clouds and fog very much, and Nanming doesn't like it either.

Nan Ming asks for a lot. He hopes to pass a bill that allows lazy security people to operate in powered exoskeletons in the United States, and even more so that his armed drones can fly over the United States, at least in the open and uninhabited.

"I know, but I can't help you. Jordon shook his head. "You know I'm just vice president, not president, not secretary of state, and even if I'm president, I'm afraid I can't help you much......"

Americans consider their president to be the most powerful man in the world.

But in fact, many Chinese people will feel that being a president of the United States may not be as comfortable as the governor of the country.

There are just too many rules and regulations to bind them.

Even if it's the president of the United States. Introducing a bill may also be rejected by Parliament.

Not to mention the vice president, who has little status in both the House of Representatives and the Senate.

"What I want is not for myself, but for more brave and loyal Americans who should not be sacrificed. "Nan Ming Dao.

Nan Ming heard that when people are in sorrow, they become more emotional and easier to deal with others. Jorden's son is now dying, which should make Jordon more susceptible to the same feelings.

He stretched out his hand. He pointed to McGovern, who was sitting not far from the door.

"I don't know if you know him, his name is McGovern, and he is the one who traveled thousands of miles from China to send the technology of Lazy God Technology to the United States. Nanming looked at Qiao Deng, and suddenly felt that his words were a little ridiculous.

Theoretically, McGovern got the box. In fact, it was stolen from Lazy God Technology, but under the influence of permission, Qiao Deng did not feel that there was any disobedience.

Jordon had actually met McGovern, and once patted McGovern on the shoulder and told him to do a good job.

But at this moment.

Nan Ming sorted out his emotions and made his voice as convincing as possible.

"His name is McGovern, he has a wife who is divorced but still in love, and a daughter who is in college, and he is just an ordinary father, but just a few days ago, he was almost killed by his enemies in order to fulfill his sacred duty...... And this tragedy is because the current rigid system and laws of the United States do not allow field personnel to arm power exoskeletons. McGovern was actually the lucky one, at least he was still alive, but there were three members of the OTMC who stayed on that mountain road forever, each of them was a father, a son, and a family......"

Nanming tried his best to make his tone more sincere and more powerful to move people's hearts.

"Oh......" Jordon looked at McGovern, still expressionless.

Nanming saw that even the members of the Secret Service who protected Qiao Deng were already moved, and they didn't know how many times they sacrificed themselves in order to protect the dignitaries, so they were very easy to empathize.

But Jorden, the old fox, just listened indifferently.

Nan Ming's brows furrowed slightly, and he shook his head slightly, I am afraid that it is impossible to impress Qiao Deng in this way.

This old man, who has been in politics for decades and has experienced many harsh presidential campaigns, is a political creature through and through, and he will not be easily impressed by others.

In fact, before he came, Yang Ji had proposed a plan to Nanming.

When he knew that Nanming was attacked, Yang Ji abandoned his operation in Germany and rushed to the United States as quickly as possible.

Even if he used the ability of the Staff of Fear, he wanted to help Nan Ming with this.

"Mr. Nan, as long as I infiltrate the parliament and stand up and kill a random person, most of the United States will become ours......"

Nan Ming was speechless, not to mention whether it would be so easy to infiltrate the council and then kill people, just talking about the matter of twisting the will of others through the staff of fear, what is the difference between it and the Esragon family, which they hate the most?

If he had to do that, he would rather withdraw from the United States.

Yang Ji didn't think much of Nanming's decision, but he didn't dare to disobey it, so he could only be ruthless silently.

At this time, looking at Qiao Deng's unmoved appearance, Nan Ming suddenly wanted to see Qiao Deng's appearance of being frightened by the Staff of Fear.

There is no way to impress Jordon with his feelings, and Nanming can only do one thing at this moment.

He tapped the table lightly and said, "Have you tried some new treatments for your son's illness?"

"New treatment?" Qiao Deng was stunned for a moment, then he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I have already used all the treatments that can be used, whether it is surgery, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy, we have tried them all." I even used my nexus to ask a professor at Harvard Medical School to enable DC-CIK biological immunotherapy in violation of regulations......"

"That thing didn't work. Nanming shook his head.

DC-CIK biological immunotherapy is a new type of treatment that is touted by those cancer hospitals contracted by Putian hospitals in China, which is theoretically very advanced, which is to collect the patient's own anti-cancer cells in a special way, and then concentrate them back into the patient's own body, which is expensive, but in clinical observation, there is almost no effect, even if there is an effect, it is only a placebo effect.

At this time, the Wei Zexi incident had not yet broken out, and the Putian system had not been exposed, and the Putian system was still using this so-called new treatment from the United States to kill people and grab money in China.

"Have you ever tried ECC stem cell repair?"

"What kind of cure is that?" Jordon widened.

Nan Ming suddenly laughed, in fact, the name, he had made up a few seconds ago.

But at this moment, he is confident: "This is a new type of stem cell therapy that can reactivate the cells in the brain and make them redevelop, and after the cancer area is removed by surgery, we can use this method to make the patient's brain repair itself, this therapy has not yet entered the clinical stage, but we have enough theoretical foundation, and you know, we have the strongest stem cell technology......"

"After this new type of therapy, I am 80% sure that I can let your son survive. "But the side effects of this therapy are also obvious, human memory is remembered by cells, although we can repair the brain through stem cells, but memory, knowledge, and logical ability are impaired, but this damage is not permanent, through re-learning, you can quickly regain some of the abilities that were lost before, only memory is irreversible......"

"However, at present, this kind of therapy can only be done in our research institute, so you must send your son to China......"

Qiao Deng suddenly grabbed Nan Ming's hand: "What you said is true?"

"Of course, anyway, the hospitals in the United States are helpless now, why don't you give it a try?" Nan Ming encouraged him.

"If you can cure my son, I'll help you pass this bill!" Jordon lowered his voice.

"Deal. Nan Ming smiled.

He asked for something, but Jordon asked for it too.

It's just that Qiao Deng, who was still hard-hearted just now, behaved in a completely different way when it was his son's turn, which made Nan Ming a little disgusted.

When leaving Fiona, Zhao Gaofeng asked Nanming, "Do we really have this technique?"

"Nope. ”

"Then you still ......"

"It was coming soon. "Nan Ming Dao. (To be continued.) )
