Because of his work, Earl didn't actually contribute much to the education of his children, and his wife Nina handled almost all of the big and small things. As a husband and father, he actually played the role of a loving father. As a result, Earl has a close relationship with the children, but when the father and son (daughter) communicate, the topics involved are no more special than ordinary families, such as not talking about the unpalatable lunch provided by the school, but talking about the significance of the High Court's decision in the "Everson v. Local Board of Education" case to the society.

Of course, as his children grew up and Earle himself rose from a small county prosecutor to the pinnacle of power in California, he began to develop a successor.

As the eldest son, Colin, bore the brunt, and Earl began to try to add some subtle tutoring sessions to him. However, this plan did not last long before Colin quietly joined the army.

There was no way, Earl could only set his sights on the second son. However, Evan at that time was not a suitable choice for Earle, so he was a little hesitant. Just when he hesitated, Evan suddenly made a big change, and when he reacted, Evan had already created a big career. In the end, Earl had no choice but to put aside the idea of letting Evan take over. Because, on the one hand, Evan himself made it clear that he had no intention of getting involved in politics himself, and on the other hand, Evan had already shown his prowess in business.

Earl is a loving father after all, and he can't impose his will on his children.

What's more, Earl thought, even if Evan didn't want to, wouldn't there be a younger son, Robert, to do the foundation.

Even if Robert's results are not satisfactory, if Colin can develop in the army, Earl is not unacceptable.

With his prestige in California, he felt he could afford to wait.

However, as his tenure lengthened, Deputy Minister Evan's career grew at an eye-popping pace, Robert's interest in finance continued unabated, and Earl found himself back to square one when it came to his successor.

Because Colin is retired.

Colin was the most suitable choice, it wasn't Earl singing a one-man show, and the other two important members of the Warren family - Nina and Evan also shared the same opinion, and even Colin himself changed his mind - before joining the army, he was not very fond of politics, although he did not say it explicitly, but now he is happy to accept Earl's arrangement.

That's why Colin was able to intern at the Republican National Convention organizing committee before graduating. It was also because of the internship that he would return so late, and he had to rush back to the East Coast in a few days.

So, even if it was time to talk about something serious, Earl would only talk to Colin, and Evan was never on his list.

So, at this moment, when Evan in the study took the initiative to bring up an obviously political topic, Earl was stunned for a moment.

Of course, Evan's surprise attack, which has always deliberately avoided politics, is only one of the reasons why Earl is stunned, and the object of his son's attention is the focus.

After a pause, Earl asked, "Evan, I want to know, how long have you been following this senator?"

Evan replied, "It's not long, it's just over a year." ”

The ambiguous information made Earl a little dissatisfied, "Can you be specific?"

"What brought your attention to such a man who is thousands of miles away from us in California? I know you're not a person who doesn't have a purpose. ”

"Hmm......" Evan muttered for a moment before replying in a low voice, "Specifically, after August last year." ”

"August ......" Earl heard this specific time, and connected to the senator's recent behavior, and immediately stopped wondering why Evan paid attention to this person after that, but after one doubt was resolved, other doubts followed, "Evan, what is your evaluation of him?"

"This is a scoundrel, opportunist. ”

Evan didn't think twice before giving a not-so-nice answer.

Earl didn't feel any dissatisfaction with Evan's assessment of the senator because he was also a Republican, but calmly continued: "It sounds like you don't like him." ”

Evan nodded, "That's right. ”

Earl asked again, "Because of what he's doing?"

Evan still nodded.

The study suddenly fell silent.

Evan stared at Earl, holding his breath.

After a full minute, a frowning Earl stared at Evan and asked, "Son, sympathizer, opponent, supporter, which of these three labels would you choose?"

Evan said, "The first. ”

Earl's brow furrowed slightly, and then he asked, "So you hate Joe Mai (Senator)?"

Evan said, "Yes and no!"

Earl felt his temples throb harder and harder, and took a few breaths before he said, "How?"

Evan thought for a moment and deliberately suppressed his voice and replied, "He's a crazy speculator with a lot of bad deeds. Under the banner of 'opposition', he claims to represent the lower middle class, but he is undermining the constitutional foundations of the Federation. ”

"As Truman said, he was a man who had no sense of responsibility and would do anything to be a so-called 'hero'. ”

Earl interrupted: "He's a hero indeed, and for the Republican Party, he's left the Democrats to run with them in next year's election." ”

Evan nodded, "I recognize his merits, but, I think it should end here, his approach will cause great confusion." ”

"He's so reckless that he's putting everybody at risk. This has already been revealed in Hollywood. ”

"In addition, his extreme approach will make the Federation tie its hands in East Asia, and eventually lose 'China,' so that the Soviet Union will benefit. ”

"'China' sons, they are red, natural and USSR on the side. And, they're going head-to-head with us. Earl looked at Evan in surprise, "Besides, is that so unbearable?"

Evan shook his head, "No, I've read the relevant materials published by Stuart Leiden, that country is so ancient, with a group of wise leaders, they have great ideals, and they can't stand with the Soviet Union forever." After all, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. ”

"This ......" Although Earl is the governor of a state, to be honest, he doesn't know much about that country, so Earl can't give his own judgment about Evan's opinion, so he has to admonish: "Evan, promise me, you can say this in front of me, don't preach it outside." ”

“…… I know!"

Evan's answer didn't bother Earl.

"As for the senators, Evan, how about we leave each side of the matter for now?"

"I'm okay with that. ”

Evan doesn't care.

He didn't expect Earl to do anything when he mentioned this, the man was on the rise at this time, and he wasn't too crazy to be able to do anything.

He just wanted to give Earl a shot.
