Without much of a word, John made Adele follow his advice. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 While retaining the role of Chairman of the Supervisory Board of FedEx, Adele will officially join the management team of the Vanderbilt Education Foundation.

In this way, Adele can not only participate in various activities to help the "British Guest Children", but also get rid of the entanglement of various public welfare and charitable organizations. After all, with the status of a senior manager of the family education foundation, Adele can completely turn away those charitable organizations that come to the door to "fight the autumn wind" in the name of concentrating on the business of her own foundation.

In fact, with Adele's original intention, she would prefer to resign as chairman of the board of supervisors of FedEx and concentrate on charity. However, she was not Alva (John's third aunt, the mother of William, Harold, and Consuelo's cousins, and one of the first female congressmen in the United States. As the vanguard of American feminism. In order to flaunt the independence of women, she ignored the pleas of her husband and children, and resolutely divorced and joined politics), she can abandon the family for personal ideals. So when John made her attitude clear, she habitually obeyed.

Of course, the so-called FBI investigation that John deliberately revealed also played a big role. Although John only mentioned it lightly, Adele was still frightened. She never imagined that she would be involved with the Red Elements, and she shuddered at the thought that she might be put on the FBI's dangerous list and investigated by the Congressional Committee on Anti-American Subversive Activities. If you only participate in the activities of the Family Education Foundation in the future, you will be safer.

John is still very satisfied with the results of this communication with Adele. It's true that he doesn't like strong women very much, but he's not a machismo either, and he doesn't plan to keep Adele in captivity like a canary. It would also be a good thing if Adele could make a difference in the field of charity while taking care of her family. If he wants to enter politics in the future, it is also a good plus.

While John was contentedly teasing little Eric at home, Donovan was discussing his next move against Hoover in a three-story granite building at 25 E Avenue at the top of Navy Hill.

At present, Donovan's "Press Coordination Office" (renamed the Strategic Intelligence Agency after the United States entered the war) is just a start-up of the grassroots team, and it cannot be compared with the already famous FBI. Just two weeks ago, they moved from a temporary warehouse-turned-makeshift office in the basement of the State Department building next door to the current disused building of the Public Health Bureau.

The building used to be a research institute under the Public Health Agency, and until now, the top floor of the building houses many of the animals that were used to conduct syphilis tests. The unpleasant smell forced Donovan to open his office window even in the winter. The FBI gang even derided it as "the new home of 50 professors, 10 goats, 12 guinea pigs, 1 monkey and a bunch of third-rate writers."

However, Hoover himself did not ignore Donovan's threat from this. He knew very well that in order to secure his position as the boss of the US intelligence community, he had to "kill" his old boss (when Hoover first became director of the bureau, Donovan was the assistant attorney general in charge of the bureau). In recent months, the F.B.I. has done more on the Office of the Press Coordinator than on cross-state criminal offenses, causing Donovan a lot of trouble.

However, Donovan is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he is not soft to find Hoover's stubble. Despite the fact that he is still a novice in the field of intelligence, and the information coordination office is not as professional as the FBI, Donovan also has an advantage that Hoover did not have - he has a large number of contacts and influence in the military and political circles.

When he was in England, John reminded Donovan of this. At that time, they had just teamed up to trap Kennedy Sr., and this successful cooperation warmed up the relationship between the two a lot. In addition, John also began to realize that continuing to let Hoover develop was likely to have serious consequences, so they reached a consensus to cooperate again on the issue of dealing with Hoover.

In that conversation, John provided Donovan with a detailed analysis of the strengths and weaknesses between him and Hoover. Among them, Hoover's biggest shortcoming is the lack of high-level influence. To put it bluntly, the FBI is nothing more than an agency under the Department of Justice to combat cross-state crime, and the so-called FBI director is just a middle-level cadre who has no place in Washington politics.

Later, Hoover used the F.B.I. privilege to gather black material on politicians to expand his influence. But at best, this method is self-preservation. Those bigwigs may throw themselves into the trap and let them cover the sky in the intelligence field, but he is also trapped in the position of this director until his death, and he can't get any closer.

Donovan, on the other hand, was a true World War I hero, a Medal of Honor recipient, and had a legion of old friends like MacArthur in the military.

At the same time, he is a barrister who graduated from the law department of Columbia University (in the same class as Roosevelt), served as an assistant to the attorney general, and has a stronger voice in the judicial community than Hoover (the FBI led by Hoover does not listen to the command of the Department of Justice at all, and naturally does not invite the Ministry of Justice to be treated).

Coupled with his status as a senior Republican Party (who ran for governor of New York) and an important member of the political "Irish Gang", he also made the White House and Congress look up to him. After all, with his qualifications, he could come out at any time to serve as a minister of government or run for parliament.

John warned Donovan at the time that the people he came into contact with were naturally of a higher level than Hoover, and that many Hoovers needed to rack their brains and use a lot of dishonorable means to obtain resources, and Donovan could get them without too much effort. Donovan must take full advantage of that and fight to sever Hoover's current fragile ties with the White House. As long as Roosevelt's support is lost, the fledgling Hoover is simply vulnerable.

And the news that Hoover spies on Roosevelt's wife, Eleanor, is John's killer plan for Donovan. Donovan has been working on this since he returned from England. In order to push Hoover into a corner, he even recruited Roosevelt's eldest son, James Roosevelt, into the press coordination office.

According to their plan, they had not intended to stab this matter to Roosevelt so soon. As far as John knew, Roosevelt was furious when he learned that Hoover had eavesdropped on his wife, and he moved the idea of replacing him, but in the end he did not take action. So, they want to continue to collect more evidence.

However, when John found out that Hoover was eyeing Adele again, he could only start it in a hurry, but he didn't expect the effect to be good. Now that I think about it, Roosevelt learned about this in history after the outbreak of World War II, and in that case Roosevelt
