The White House, Office of the President.

"What the hell!"

"Who betrayed me!"

"Surely some of you have betrayed me!"

Kennedy slapped a newspaper on the table and kept growling and losing his temper. There were quite a few people present, but only Mr. President's voice was heard, and the rest of the people were silent one by one, not daring to move for half a minute.

He only mentioned the idea of monetary reform to the people around him, and before he could even formally put it forward, the next day he was warned by his father to stop trying to continue in this direction.

Not only that, but even the media newspapers have related rumors, and reporters from major media outlets have heard the wind and chased this explosive news. For this reason, the Kennedy administration had to come out to refute the rumors and strangle this bill in its conception.

Clearly, his approach has upset some people. Since the United States is at war, he, the president of the United States, wields a lot of power. In addition, he did many things that went down in history during this time, which made him a little carried away, and as a result, he told the secret in his heart.

"If I ever let me know who betrayed me, I'd have to skin him!"

Kennedy looked at the people in front of him, including the president's assistants, some cabinet members, secretaries of state, vice presidents, etc., all of whom he trusted the most, but he didn't expect that someone would confess his secret.

It made him feel angry, but he didn't feel a hint of danger.

After all, it's just an idea, and even the proposal hasn't been completed yet, so it's not a big deal. Kennedy thought so in his heart, he had been reproached by his father yesterday, and today he could not hold back the anger in his heart and vented it freely.

Looking at the silent people in front of him, Kennedy waved his hand and let them all go. Only Vice President Linden remained, and Linden said to him, "Maybe it wasn't our own people." Know that there are many agents around us......"

"You're saying the FBI might have done it, right?" Kennedy interrupted Lyndon with a wave of his hand, sighing, "Alas! I didn't know that it was most likely these agents who did it? They're like the ubiquitous cockroach rats, they'll burrow over and disgust you whenever there's a gap. ”

Vice President Linden was silent, even though Director Hoover had died unexpectedly a few years earlier. But the F.B.I., which Hoover left behind, was not affected much. It continued to spread and expand, keeping an eye on those around it. It is like the legendary hydra, even if one head is cut off, it is able to instantly grow a new snake head.

It's just that this time Kennedy mistakenly blamed the FBI and whistleblower someone else. Even the man was standing in front of him. That's Vice President Linden!

Yes, it was Lyndon himself who stabbed Kennedy in the back.

Lyndon's philosophy is actually very close to Kennedy's, and it can even be said that Lyndon was also a radical. He agrees with what John F. Kennedy once said, "Ask not what the state can do for you, but what you can do for the country." ”

This quote resonated with many people, and Lyndon was one of them.

It's just that he was not as radical as Kennedy. Not radical enough to get out of control, not to show up paranoid. For some things that can be achieved, he will do it step by step, and for some things that seem to be beautiful, but in fact will lead to social turmoil in the country, he can also resist the temptation and turn away.

Since Kennedy came to power, the government has done a lot of things that Lyndon thinks too well. In fact, it can make a mess of the situation. This was the case, for example, with the Bay of Pigs incident.

At the behest of Kennedy, the CIA assisted Cubans who had fled to the United States to invade the Bay of Pigs on the southwest coast of Cuba.

This thing is before it begins. Lyndon repeatedly protested to Kennedy that he believed that such a naΓ―ve invasion plan would never succeed. But Kennedy had an arrogant personality and would do whatever he could.

Originally, it was nothing. It is normal for the government to make mistakes, as long as it admits mistakes and corrects them. But when Kennedy saw that the invasion plan had failed, he pushed it off completely, implying on many occasions that he knew nothing about it. The impact of this was very bad, and the director had to pinch his nose to carry the black pot.

When a rift is formed, it only grows bigger and bigger, and it doesn't disappear on its own. The relationship between them was such that Lyndon became more and more unbearable with Kennedy, and with the fact that he was an ambitious man himself, he became more and more unhappy with the seemingly glamorous position of vice president, but in fact it was designed to carry the blame.

"Someday, I'm going to sit in that seat too!" As early as the election campaign, Lyndon had such an idea. By this time, his thought was getting stronger and stronger, like a soldering iron pressed tightly to his heart, making him unable to sleep day and night.

Lyndon is a qualified politician who knows what to do and what not to do. In the eyes of most Americans, he is a typical Texan: tall, burly, loud-voiced, impatient, friendly, unruly, casual, and at the same time aggressive, vulgar, reckless, and belligerent.

In addition to these traits, he has an amazing memory, an alert and sharp mind, and a witty sense of humor and endowment. Johnson is so energetic that he can almost make a sleepy Calvin? Coolidge also moved in his grave. He usually walks at a trot, and is known as "Johnson trot".

In later generations, his autobiographical book became a must-read book for many politicians. Francis, the actor in the American drama "House of Cards", admired him very much and learned his skills as if he were like him.

For things like stabbing his partner in the back, Lyndon felt no guilt, and even a little happy. He and Kennedy were old friends, but they were also rivals, and when he decided on a goal, if someone stood in his way, it was someone else who let him, not him let someone else.

He was convinced that he would do a better job than anyone else in that position, and he did. Lyndon was born a politician, and a position like the president is for this kind of person.

Lyndon chatted casually with Kennedy, and he comforted him: "Don't worry, those plutocrats are just a gentle reminder, as long as we don't overreact." They don't have any ideas. ”

Kennedy replied vaguely, not dwelling on the topic. He didn't know how much Lyndon knew about the mysterious organizations such as Freemasonry and the Illuminati, and if he leaked his mouth and spread some sensitive things, it would probably attract later personnel to deal with it.

For such things that cannot be discussed publicly, they are the periphists who strictly abide by the rules, unless they are allowed to. Otherwise, even if someone discusses it with him, he will not be able to respond loudly. Just like the members of the Skull and Bones Society, if an outsider talks about something similar in front of them, they have to shut up and turn away.

They didn't talk about it all the time, they just talked about it around newspapers and leaks. But when it comes to the chaebol, maybe it will slowly come to that aspect. To avoid gaffes. Kennedy: They had to keep their mouths shut.

For a moment, the two of them had nothing to say.

Suddenly, Kennedy said, "Do you know that Carpenter's Alex has returned from Vietnam?" ”

Lyndon had a puzzled look on his face, not knowing why Mr. President wanted to mention Alex, although he was a peripheral member of the organization, but on the surface he was controlled by the major chaebols. I don't know a lot about that circle. Lyndon was much older than Kennedy, and his family was not as powerful as the Kennedys, and he never knew about "being a man".

"It is said that he went abroad for a walk, but he didn't expect it to be a dangerous place like Vietnam." Lyndon thought for a moment and quickly said, "It's strange that there was no news about this before this. When he went out, the newspapers didn't report it! ”

As for Alex's cognition, Lin Deng only learned about public information such as TV news, newspapers and magazines at most. Didn't know as much inside information as Kennedy.

After such a trial, Kennedy finally understood how much Lyndon knew, and he chuckled: "I don't know when he arrived in Vietnam, but I've heard from others that he came back from Vietnam." ”

Speaking of Alex, Kennedy was both envious and jealous of him, and as a candidate, he had intelligence sources from his father, Joseph. He was surprised to learn that Alex was suspected of having only become a "human master" in recent years! That is, he competed with Alex, and in the end he failed and lost the election.

As soon as I think of this. Kennedy had an unwilling feeling in his heart.

Why! Why?

Why can Alex become a "man of the best", and he was elected president and failed to succeed in the competition, is it because he was self-made, became famous as a teenager, and was an intelligent businessman, so he was chosen by those old antiques? But no matter how powerful Alex is, he is just an entertainment star, at most he can be regarded as a business wizard, how can he compare to a political genius like him!

Unable to figure it out, Kennedy had no choice but to stop thinking about it and focus on the affairs at hand. After he assumed the presidency of the United States, he faced various domestic and foreign events, especially now that the United States is not calm in the country, various movements are falling one after another.

Unlike Eisenhower, Kennedy was highly dependent on black votes. In the 196o presidential election, he agreed with the Supreme Court's decision to desegregation and reached out to Martin Luther King, Jr., cementing black support for him even more.

In the same way, Kennedy was associating himself with the black civil rights movement. In May of this year, in May 1961, white and black college students boarded buses in Washington, D.C., planning to break down segregation facilities at various stops in the southern hinterland.

However, they were greeted by an angry mob that attacked the passengers with chains and stones. In the end, Kennedy had to send 5oo federal law enforcement teams to Montgolima, Alabama, to organize the escalation of the atrocities. Even so, many of the South still defy the laws enacted by the government.

All in all, Kennedy's president was faced with a lot of things, and when he put his body and mind into his work, he could forget about other things, forget about his rivalry with Alex.
