“…… I strongly recommend that you try mountaineering! ”

Sitting on the sofa at Huntelaar's house, Roosevelt's expression was full of enthusiasm: "A few years ago, when I was on my honeymoon in Europe, I climbed Mont Blanc, and the peak of thousands of meters can make you see a lot of different scenery. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Mr. Huntelaar, you are physically strong and I am sure that many peaks can be conquered if you climb the mountain......"

Obviously, Theodore? Mr. Roosevelt was very talkative.

This is not surprising to John, because because of the political system and philosophy, almost every American president has a very sharp tongue and must be sharp. In addition to the massive monetary spending, they must rely on a large number of speeches to convince the electorate, and the better the president, the better he is.

Roosevelt is undoubtedly a master.

And John also knew that in addition to being active in the movement and politics, Roosevelt was also a historian. Not the kind of historian that people flatter, but the real kind. Historical works such as "The Naval Battle in the War of 1812" and "The Conquest of the West" made Roosevelt the president of the American Historical Association – and certainly because of his former presidency.

Anyway, Roosevelt Sr. was a very likable fellow.

At least after ten minutes of contact, John almost threw away his prejudices and fell in love with this white supremacist guy.

However, after chatting for a while, John still raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Mr. Roosevelt, I heard that you used to work in Washington, and now you plan to go back to New York?" ”

"Yes, sir. I used to work in the Public Service Bureau. ”

Nodding, Roosevelt shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "But you know, there are many things in the United States that can't be solved by enthusiasm, so ...... I'm going back to work in New York. “

"Hehe, understood."

Smiling slightly, John nodded in agreement.

The United States was in the best period of this era, with excellent geographical location, abundant resources, and a large number of immigrants building the best external conditions. And the industry, which lagged behind the European powers, gave them the best soil for the use of new technologies, so the Americans ushered in the opportunity for great development. But again, it was also the most corrupt period in American history, with dark corners everywhere from top to bottom, from government to bottom. Roosevelt's experience in Washington, John's previous life seems to have seen a half-claw on the Internet, as if he was going to arrest those corrupt officials, and there was nowhere to be ostracized......

After taking a sip of coffee, old Huntelaar said with a smile: "John may not know that ten years ago, Mr. Roosevelt ran for mayor of New York. ”

"Oh? Ten years ago? ”

John was slightly stunned and blinked violently.

Ten years ago, Roosevelt was twenty-eight or nineteen years old at most, right? Dare to run for mayor of New York?

"Of course, I failed."

Shrugging his shoulders, Roosevelt smiled indifferently: "Of course I was too young and thought too idealistic about things, and in the end I only came in third place." However, I haven't wasted my time in the past 10 years, and I've made great strides in terms of network and experience, so I'm planning to make a comeback! “

In the face of a possible financier, Roosevelt would never be stingy in showing his ambitions!

"Oh? So how do you go about getting started? ”

His eyes narrowed, but John asked with a smile on his face.

After taking a deep breath, Roosevelt replied with a smile, "Police Department!" I've taken over the New York City Police Department! I felt that the police system in New York City needed to be overhauled, so I wanted to start with that. ”

In a sense, this is also Roosevelt showing his strength.

Although he was born and raised in New York, and the Roosevelt family was quite prestigious in New York, if it weren't for the fact that New York is the territory of the Republican Party and the current governor of New York is William? McKinley, how could Roosevelt take over so easily?

"The Chief of Police?"

Rubbing his chin slightly, John couldn't help but smile: "This is an interesting position......

……

"Feeling...... How is this man? ”

Looking at the carriage that was gradually moving away, old Huntelaar gently touched his grandson's shoulder and asked with a smile.

"This Mr. Roosevelt is the one you picked?"

Without directly answering his grandfather's question, John first glanced at the gift he had just received in his hand - Roosevelt's "Heroic Stories in American History" that he had just written, and then raised his eyebrows and said indifferently: "Shouldn't you choose someone with a higher status?" He's just a newly appointed police chief, how much can he help us? ”

Choosing one's own proxies in political circles is a must-have for major conglomerates.

John rarely got involved in such things, but old Huntelaar was a veteran. The old man came to the United States from Europe, and his life for decades was actually a living history textbook. Later, after the industry inflated like a balloon, the old Huntelaar began to officially march into the political circles, and now it is not comparable to the old rich people such as the railway king, nor can it be compared to the monopoly upstarts such as Rockefeller and Morgan, but after a lot of dollars are scattered, it has also accumulated enough confidence.

This Mr. Roosevelt is another investment by old Huntelaar.

And for a politician, the financier behind it is also indispensable, especially for a country like the United States, where money is paramount. For example, William, who will take office in two years? McKinley, the financial magnate behind it is Mark? Hanna, many people even call him Hanna's child. Without financial support, it would be a joke to say that you want to be president, or even if you want to be mayor of New York. So it was only natural for Roosevelt to return to New York to find a strong and willing to support him.

"Hehe, don't underestimate this Mr. Roosevelt!"

After laughing, the elder Huntelaar said meaningfully: "Resigned from the civilian branch of the White House, and just returned to his hometown of New York to become the chief of police, do you think this Mr. Roosevelt can do what ordinary people can do?" And most importantly, I saw something very special in him......"

"What's that?"

Knowing that the old man was adjusting his appetite, John still couldn't help but ask.

"Ambition!"

Taking a deep breath, old Huntelaar said in a deep voice: "This guy has huge ambitions hidden in him, and it is definitely not something that a New York City police chief can hold!" ”

"Uh......"

After listening to old Huntelaar's answer, John was speechless.

John understood what old Huntelaar meant, and the old man was getting older, so he had recently begun to transfer his connections to John little by little. And Roosevelt's first visit was just a meeting between the two, and of course there was no in-depth exchange. But now that he knows the identity of the other party, how can John underestimate others?

Not only a police chief, but also the mayor of New York!

John, who knew very well what the other party was coming from, hesitated in his heart, not knowing what attitude to have towards this Mr. Roosevelt. If you support and win over as the old man said, of course, it is in the interests of the Huntelaar consortium, not only because the other party will be the president of the United States in the future, with a term of office of up to eight years, but also because of this guy's attitude towards the monopoly group in the future; But from his white-skinned and yellow-hearted point of view, Roosevelt was definitely the sworn enemy of the Chinese, and it was he who promoted the long-term development of the Chinese Exclusion Act......

"Okay, let's not talk about that."

Perhaps it was to see that John was thinking seriously, and old Huntelaar didn't say much, and suddenly asked with concern: "John, what is the relationship between you and Anna...... When will I be able to hold my grandson? ”

"Oh my God, it's here again!"

After hearing the old man's question, John suddenly rolled his eyes and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

However, he and Anna have been married for several years, and both are in the prime of life, and they have never used any contraception, but Anna has not been pregnant until now. Under the urging of old Huntelaar, John had no choice but to take Anna for a check-up, but on the one hand, he knew little about infertility, and on the other hand, the technology of this era was too tricky, so he couldn't find out why.

Old Huntelaar was in a hurry.

Although John and Anna are still very young, at this time, the Huntelaar family can be said to be a big family, and the question of heirs cannot but make the old Huntelaar anxious. Especially for several years, there has been no movement, and the older the old man is, the less stable he becomes.

John also understood his grandfather's thoughts, but after a little hesitation, he still smiled bitterly: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will ...... Well, I'll try my best ......" (To be continued.) )
