Due to traffic and light control at night, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening when John returned to Thomas's "mansion". Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info agreed with Captain Wilson to pick him up tomorrow morning, and John went into the house.

Originally, he was going to go back to his room to write a report after a casual meal, but as soon as he entered the door, he saw Randolph sitting in the living room, and Thomas Hitchcock was accompanying him chatting with a young and beautiful lady.

"John, you're back." Thomas was the first to spot him, stood up and said, "Randolph, they've been waiting for you for a long time." ”

"I'm sorry, Randolph, I didn't know you were coming, but I was delayed at the Home Defense Command." John stepped forward to greet Randolph, "You should have told me last night." Who is this? ”

"This is my new wife, Pamela." Randolph was obviously very proud of his wife's beauty: "Pamela, this is Mr. John Vanderbilt, I told you about it. ”

"It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Vanderbilt." Pamela, dressed in a smart silk dress, stood up very gracefully and greeted John. There is a hint of French in her English, but it is not the same as Adele's, and there is a little bit of charm in it.

"It's an honour to meet you, Mrs. Churchill." John hurriedly saluted. In his previous life, John had read the biography of Pamela, the "queen mother" of the Democratic Party at the end of the 20th century, and the "godmother" of President Clinton, who was not a fuel-efficient lamp when she was young.

Historically, Randolph and Pamela were indeed a couple, and they got married in 1939. But when Randolph came to the United States a few months ago, he was still single. John thought that in this life, these two people would not be twisted together. Unexpectedly, the "honest" Randolph still picked this "poisonous rose".

"Congratulations, Randolph. I didn't even know you were married. John said insincerely. At this moment, in his eyes, the top of Randolph's head was already faintly glowing green.

"We just got married last week, and we haven't had time for our honeymoon yet." Randolph took his beloved wife's little hand and smiled happily. He was still very proud to be able to defeat a group of competitors and marry this aristocratic lady who had just returned from the Sorbonne University in France.

But Randolph was too happy too soon, and the "challenge" was still to come.

John knows that Pamela has been in love all her life, married three times, and had at least a dozen lovers, so much so that she once had the nickname "Merry Widow".

John counted among Pamela's "courtiers under the skirt", and he alone remembered the names: Giovanni Agnelli, the son of the Italian Fiat car tycoon, Baron Baron de Rothschild of the French banking family, the famous writer Maurice Brownshaw, the Indian playboy Aga Khan III, the movie tycoon Leland Hayward (Audrey Hepburn's benefactor, the two also had an affair), and the American billionaire William Harriman.

William Harriman, in particular, is a remarkable figure. He was an "old friend" of the Vanderbilt family and the son of Union Pacific Railroad owner Edward Harriman. Today, William Harriman is not only chairman of the Union Pacific Railroad and Illinois Central Railroad, but also the owner of the International Investment Corporation, Harriman Brothers, the American Merchant Marine Construction Company, as well as Wells Fargo-Amex (the predecessor of Wells Fargo and American Express) and the aviation giant AVCO.

Let's put it this way, Harriman is John the one year bigger. He not only owned a railroad company, an aircraft manufacturer, an airline and a shipyard, but was also a financial tycoon and the number one ship king in the United States. If it weren't for the fact that people are now preoccupied with politics and don't care much about business, John wouldn't have had fun at all. Even now that John's logistics career has gained a foothold, he does not dare to offend Harriman easily.

What's more, Ahriman is also quite good in political circles and is one of Roosevelt's confidants. During the Truman presidency, she served as U.S. Secretary of Commerce and presided over the implementation of the Marshall Plan for Europe; When Eisenhower was in the White House, he served as governor of New York; During the tenures of Presidents Kennedy and Johnson, he was a key member of the State Department, and at one time served as assistant secretary of state. Throughout the Cold War, he was the most important financier and bigwig of the US Democratic Party.

It seems that next year, Harriman will succeed Kennedy Sr. as US ambassador to the United Kingdom. It was as if by that time, Randolph had already gone to serve in Cairo. Pamela took advantage of her husband's absence to hook up with Harriman. The two had an underground romance that lasted until Harriman returned home in 1943.

In the 70s, after Pamela immigrated to the United States, she and Harriman rekindled their old relationship, and the two later married. Harriman, who was in his 70s at the time, was very fond of Pamela, and took him to meet many high-ranking Democratic Party officials, which inspired her political ambitions.

Harriman died in 1986 at the age of 94, leaving Pamela with a legacy of hundreds of millions of dollars. Pamela used the money to fund many Democrats and gradually became involved in the top operations and power centers of the Democratic Party. During the 1992 election, Pamela gave her full support to Bill Clinton and raised $3.2 million for his campaign.

After Clinton's victory, he even set up his own celebration banquet in Pamela's mansion, and repeatedly paid tribute to her in public, thanking her for her kindness. Later, in order to reward Pamela, Clinton also appointed her ambassador to France, so that she could fulfill her long-cherished wish to return to France.

Such a merry, beautiful, ambitious and skillful woman, where is Randolph, an "honest" British gentleman, holding on. For a moment, John wondered if he should persuade Randolph not to go to Egypt and to stay home and watch out for his daughter-in-law. But he quickly dismissed the idea.

The young couple is newlywed, like glue, what is the matter with him "sowing discord" behind his back. And with Pamela's character, even if Randolph stays in the UK, he can't stop her from going out of the wall. What's more, Randolph's service in North Africa has a very strong political purpose in itself, and it can't be stopped by the personal feelings of his children.

Besides, Pamela's maiden family, the Digby family, is also an old aristocratic family, with connections all over Europe, and her future lovers are not easy to mess with. Even when Prime Minister Churchill was alive, he turned a blind eye to Pamela's use of his former daughter-in-law's signature to mingle in European social circles. Winston Churchill Jr., the only son of Randolph and Pamela who later became a member of the British Parliament, was also not asked to distance himself from his mother.

Even the Churchill family themselves pinched their noses and admitted that John was an outsider, why did he wade into this muddy water, it was better to hide and watch the play from afar

John had a good idea, but when talking to the Randolphs, his expression was inevitably a little unnatural. Randolph didn't think much of it, he thought that John was just too tired from working during the day, so he directly named him.

It turned out that Randolph and his wife had come to deliver an invitation to John on behalf of their mother. Because John and Adele had helped the British Board of Trustees for the Overseas Reception of British Children to solve a big problem, Mrs. Churchill invited John to the Prime Minister's residence at 10 Downing Street tomorrow evening.

"Mrs. Churchill is so polite, it's just a gesture, it's not worth mentioning." John hurriedly and humbly thanked him.

"It's just a gesture here, and it's a lifesaver for the children of the UK. You have helped tens of thousands of British families. My father also said that he would like to thank you in person. "I have to admit that Pamela is still very good at talking, and the pony ass is very comfortable to shoot John.

However, John now has a military position, and the Prime Minister's official residence is not Chartwell Manor, so he cannot make his own decisions privately.

At this time, Thomas spoke, "John, go. Ambassador Kennedy will also be there tomorrow evening. ”

Now that the diplomatic department has given permission, John will not refuse. He is also very much looking forward to meeting Churchill again.
