Chapter 721: The Friendship of the Roosevelt Family

……

The Presidential Medal of Freedom is the highest civilian medal in the United States, awarded annually by the President of the United States, and is listed as the highest civilian honor in the United States, along with the Congressional Gold Medal. Recipients do not have to be U.S. citizens.

It is awarded to civilians who have made outstanding contributions in the fields of science, culture, sports and social activities, and was first introduced in 1945 by Harry Murphy. Founded by President S. S. Truman to honor civilians for outstanding service in World War II, President John F. Kennedy reinstated the medal in 1963 and expanded the recipients to include it for civilians who have made outstanding contributions in peacetime.

The Presidential Medal of Freedom is divided into two levels: the regular version of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which only has a collar ribbon, and the special version of the Distinguished Presidential Medal of Freedom, which has a star and a large ribbon.

During World War II, 79 people in China were awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, including Yan Xishan, Li Zongren, Gu Zhutong and He Ying-Qin, and all of them were soldiers!

Liu Dong has little interest in this so-called 'Presidential Medal of Freedom', he values tangible interests rather than an ordinary piece of iron.

Moreover, if he hadn't happened to be on this plane this time, even if it was hijacked by bandits and crashed into the White House, the heart of the United States, Liu Dong would only have watched the excitement!

"Mr. Roosevelt, let's not rush your special 'Presidential Medal of Freedom', there are still four bandits on it that have not been solved! Whether we can survive safely, we will talk about it now!"

Liu Dong's words. Let del Roosevelt's love xù calm down. He also knew that Liu Dong was right. It is far from time to celebrate the victory.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now the bandits in the main cabin have been completely eliminated by us, but the upper cabin and cockpit are still controlled by them, if we want to land safely, we must get rid of the bandits on the upper deck and regain control of the plane, so soon we will launch an attack on the upper cabin, for everyone's safety. Please retreat to the other cabin behind!"

After Liu Dong finished speaking, the first-class guests who had just been happy for a long time hurriedly retreated to the business class behind.

Of course, there are also some people who are grateful to Liu Dong who came over and said a few words of thanks before leaving!

"Mr. Liu, no matter what the final result of this trip is, I personally thank you very much for your selfless help, and if we can be safe, I am willing to repay your favor in any way!"

After saying it in a sincere tone, this middle-aged woman in her thirties, who was not outstanding in appearance, but had an extraordinary momentum, turned around and left.

"Hehe, Liu! You're really lucky!" said the last remaining Del Roosevelt patted Liu Dong on the shoulder.

"Oh?"

Looking at the blankness on Liu Dong's face, Roosevelt was surprised: "You don't even know her, do you?" Yes, you are Chinese, of course, you don't know much about things in the United States!"

"The lady I just spoke to you is named Sally Kraucek, who is now the president of Global Wealth and Investment Management at Bank of America, and is well-known on Wall Street as the 'Queen'! She is also one of the "25 Most Powerful Women on Wall Street" by The American Banker, and was named to Forbes magazine's "100 Most Powerful Women in the World" in 2000. …… Any entrepreneur would want to be able to get her favor because then they will be able to get more loans from American banks!"

Hearing this, Liu Dong subconsciously glanced at the slightly bloated back in the distance, he didn't expect such an ordinary woman to be a financial queen!

Especially in a male-dominated place like Wall Street, holding such power shows that the other party is extraordinary.

You must know that Bank of America is the largest commercial bank in the United States in terms of assets, and the third largest company in the world, which is even more amazing than the famous JPMorgan Chase and Citibank!

Moreover, U.S. banks manage more than $2 trillion in assets, more than the GDP of the whole of China in 2001!

Being able to hold a senior position in such a bank is not something that anyone can do!

"It seems that in the future, if my company develops in the United States, it will be able to borrow some help!" Liu Dong said secretly in his heart.

He is not a fool, nor is he a good person, Liu Dong is very realistic, understands the right not to expire and invalidate, if his company encounters financial difficulties in the development of the United States in the future and needs a loan, Liu Dong will definitely not hesitate to go to the 'Queen of Wall Street' for help!

"But then again, is this Roosevelt next to me ......!"

Noticing Liu Dong's eyes, Del Roosevelt smiled and said, "Liu, if we can be safe, you will gain the friendship of the Roosevelt family!"

"Sure enough!" Liu Dong's heart jumped suddenly, and the excited look in his eyes flashed.

In American political circles, there are four major families that are famous, namely the Adams family, the Roosevelt family, the Kennedy family, and the Bush family.

In the Addams family, John Adams and John Quincy Adams, father and son, served as the second and sixth presidents of the United States. In particular, the former was one of the four drafters of the American Declaration of Independence, and served as the first vice president and second president of the United States!

The Addams family is known as the "First Royalty" in the United States. Like the surnames Hamilton, Taft, Harrison, Roosevelt, Kennedy, Bush, and Rockefeller, this family has accompanied the history of the United States for more than 200 years, and it is also the first family in the United States to produce a father-son president.

The Roosevelts were the second largest political family in the United States after the Addams, and two uncles and nephews, Theodore Roosevelt and Franklin Roosevelt, served as presidents of the United States.

The famous expansionist policy of "carrots and sticks" in the United States came from the hands of Roosevelt Sr. And the two-term president, who was in office, defeated Spain, seized Cuba and the Philippines from them, and opened the way for the United States to expand beyond the Americas.

Franklin D. Roosevelt, the only strongman in the history of the United States to serve four terms as president, dominated the entire World War II during his reign and directly put the United States into the status of world hegemon.

Although the Kennedy family has only had one president, which is not as good as the Bush family, the Kennedy family is prosperous and has many family members engaged in politics, so its influence in the US political arena is stronger than that of the Bush family.

Being able to gain the friendship of the Roosevelt family, which is deeply rooted in American politics, is undoubtedly the envy of everyone, and anyone who has such a network of connections, as long as he is not too stupid, will basically become a frequent visitor to high society.

Of course, Liu Dong was just excited, and his mood calmed down!

Despite the Roosevelt family's words, the question mark is whether the old politician's words are credible.

What's more, Liu Dong is still a Chinese with black hair and yellow skin.

Although American society is now more open than before, racial discrimination has not disappeared from this land of freedom and democracy for more than 100 years!

Liu Dong's instantaneous calmness surprised Del Roosevelt's heart, and it was the first time he had seen a young man who could always maintain himself in the face of such temptation.

However, Del Roosevelt didn't say much, patted Liu Dong on the shoulder and turned to leave.

If you can't survive, no amount of promises will be in vain!

"You two take these two guns, go to the back cabin to maintain order, and I'll go up by myself later!"

After Del Roosevelt left, Liu Dong handed over the two AK47s that were behind his back to Will Hannah and Green.

"Liu, are you sure you're okay!" asked Green, after a moment's hesitation.

"Don't worry! And didn't you see it just now!"

Liu Dong was referring to the fact that he had just dealt with the four bandits behind the main cabin!

Hearing this, Will Hannah and Green also reacted that the seemingly ordinary Chinese in front of them was a real super master.

And although the two of them are not bad among ordinary people, they are too far behind compared to the Chinese in front of them.

"Take care of yourself, we trust you!"

After finishing speaking, Will Hannah hugged Liu Dong and walked towards the back with a gun on his back.

And Green, who was cold-hearted, also gave Liu Dong a hug, and finally hit the other party's chest with his fist before turning away.

After everyone left, Liu Dong couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: "Is this what it feels like to be a lonely hero? Although I enjoy it, this is really not a fucking good thing!"

Shaking his head, Liu Dong warned himself in his heart that in the future, if it is not necessary, he will never do this kind of stupid thing of holding his head and working hard for others.

Of course, this is a matter for the future, and now we have to solve the immediate troubles.

Tong guò relics Yuanguang, the situation of the upper cabin Liu Dong is clear at a glance.

One middle-aged bandit is in the cockpit, the other two bandits block the upward passage, and the remaining one is behind the upper cabin to watch over the passengers!

"If you go up the spiral ladder, you're sure to be beaten into a sieve!"

Although Liu Dong is a master of art and courage, he is not confident that he can break through the blockade of two AK47 assault rifles in a narrow environment.

Thinking of this, Liu Dong took two steps, closed the door between the first class cabin and the business class, blocked the sight of everyone behind, and walked to the corner of the back of the first class cabin near the business class, and his heart moved, and soon the cabin steel plate above his head revealed a round hole with a diameter of 80 centimeters, which only allowed one person to pass through guò!

Seeing this, Liu Dong took a deep breath, bent his knees, and the powerful leg muscles burst out with amazing power, pushing Liu Dong's body straight from the round hole into the upper cabin.
