Chapter subtitle: If anyone thinks the next few chapters are exaggerated...... Then you have to look at the history books yourself, at least Baidu.

"Hahaha, I won this hand!"

"Damn, this guy's luck is so good."

"Okay, this one is your Zhuang ...... Mr. President."

Invited to meet the current President of the United States this time, our Master Yuan is still a little forced in his heart, otherwise he would not have brought such a big box.

It's just that he heard such a noise before he arrived at the Oval Office, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

They are really blessed to have elected a president who is so well-heard, and this president has convened a cabinet that is so well-heard, and it has also brought American politics into an era of such blow-ups.

"Mr. President, Mr. Yuan is here."

Master Yuan followed the staff member who led the way into the Oval Office, and the scene in front of him was exactly what he expected...... Well, it's a little different.

In fact, the presidential office he later saw was renovated and built during the FDR term in 1934, and the design style was naturally very different. Now, the office was badly damaged in a fire in 1929 on that timeline.

So, the furnishings and furnishings in this office were a little different from the impression in his mind.

However, the scene in the office was similar to what he had imagined.

Because of the double reason of the heating and the hot atmosphere, these familiar or unfamiliar gentlemen not only did not wear their outer clothes, but were so hot that even the close-fitting waistcoats were open, and the sleeves of their shirts were rolled up, revealing their hairy arms and glittering gold watches.

They gathered around a square table with playing cards and green pieces of paper, as well as a dazzling array of wine glasses and smoking cigars.

Smoke, alcohol, popularity...... There is also wealth that makes the "center of the world" extraordinarily masculine and extraordinarily simple.

Of course, those who know know that this is the office of the President of the United States, and those who don't know see what they see in front of them think that they have arrived at a tavern that is not so classy.

Rao is our Master Yuan has already done some psychological construction for himself, and he also gasped.

Damn, America in 1921 was really, really, so much for the Bleach!

"Hahaha, Mr. Yuan, you're here." A tall figure at the table immediately stood up, took the initiative to greet him, and said enthusiastically, "Welcome, Mr. Yuan, welcome to your arrival." By the way, do you recognize me? ”

Nonsense, of course I recognize you, you don't even recognize what I'm doing here?

But without waiting for Yuan Yanqian to speak, the uncle introduced himself: "I am...... Warren Gamelir Harding! ”

If Master Yuan had not personally experienced this scene, but had been relayed by others, he would certainly not have believed that the dignified President of the United States would have taken the initiative to stand up to greet a young man, a young yellow man, a young yellow man who had written a few books

However, this really happened because Warren Gamelier Harding was a likable guy.

He has two great qualities that make him a Grand Commander:

The first is handsome.

After seeing the real person, Yuan Yanqian felt that what the newspapers said was true, and the tall man in front of him "had a face and posture that revealed the nobility and dignity of Washington, and his eyes were full of papal kindness and kindness." ”。

In a word, President Harding looks like a big man.

The second is kindness.

Later generations are not wrong in the history books, he seems to like everyone, he seems to want to do something for everyone, he seems to wish everyone happiness and happiness.

No, there doesn't seem!

Our Master Yuan really felt this taste, and the American Commander who stretched out his hand to him in front of him was really amiable. This kind of amiability is not a pretense of politicians pretending to curry favor with voters, but a genuine kindness that comes from the heart and is touching.

In a word, President Harding gives people the impression of a kind and enthusiastic uncle next door.

Yuan Yanqian secretly said in his heart, if this guy didn't have a bad brain and even miscalculated the tax rate, he would definitely rise to the top in the insurance industry.

He complained in his heart, but he didn't dare to slack off, and he held the other party's hand in fear and said, "Mr. President, I'm so happy to see you!" ”

Yet he underestimated the enthusiasm of the Grand Commander in front of him. President Harding put his arm around his shoulders and shouted to the crowd at the table: "Gentlemen, look who's coming?" ”

"Neo-Yuan, a Chinese. But he's a miracle to us! Or a warrior who defeated the British! ”

"Hahaha......"

"Da Da Da ......"

The crowd at the table burst into laughter and tapped with wine glasses on the table.

"Come, I'll introduce you." President Harding led Master Yuan to his friends, his cabinet, with an attitude toward his close sons and nephews.

That's right, the nickname of this cabinet is ...... Poker Cabinet.

"This is Harry M. Doherty, my old friend who is also my Minister of Justice."

Mr. Doherty needs no introduction, the leader of the Ohio Republican Party is not only Harding's political agent, but also his long-time personal lawyer.

The old guy listened to him because he was not only bold, but also a little weird about his sexuality. He lives in an apartment in Washington with a "friend" named Jesse Smith.

And this Smith seems to have been a man, and must have been a liar, and became a liaison for "bribing officials on behalf of others" during his time in Washington. After the incident, Smith "committed suicide" in Doherty's apartment.

"Oh, this is Mr. Albert B. Fore."

Well, this interior minister is the protagonist of the "Teapot Hill Scandal" that almost brought down the Republican Party.

In 1912, in order to ensure the supply of oil to the Navy, the U.S. government set aside 3 million acres (about 1,214,000 hectares) of federally owned land for the Navy to establish oil reserves. Private companies are prohibited from engaging in oil exploration and exploitation in the reserves.

These reserves are concentrated in California's Central Valley. Reserve No. 1 is at Buena Vista and No. 2 is at Elk Hills. In 1915, the No. 3 Oil Reserve was established in Wyoming, south of the Salt Creek oil field, discovered in 1909 at a site called Teapot Mountain.

In a few months, President Harding will sign a presidential decree placing the fields under the management of the Ministry of the Interior. And then......

"This is my personal advisor, Harry Sinclair."

Then, the big boss of Sinclair Petroleum will contract the Teapot Hill oil field.
