Not long after Pete got married, with the help of the Evans family, he threw himself into the California Senate race!

Pitt is a complete stranger to politics.

At the beginning of the conquest of Europe, it had the full support of Wang Hengyue, the president of the Republic of China. So what now? It's still Wang Hengyue!

Wang Hengyue has already arranged everything for Pitt, including his guidance on the road of American politics

Old Evans and Little Evans!

These two political veterans, when Pete officially became a member of the Evans family, passed on their experience to Pete without reservation!

"I've experienced many times the excitement and elation of a victorious election night. I've experienced the excitement and elation of tears of joy on election night many times...... "The elder Evans seemed elated when he talked about his experience, as if he had returned to the era when he was in the political arena:

"In this world where you don't succeed or you lose, you always let your enemies stand in front of you! In the history of the American Revolutionary War, the Battle of Saratoga was a decisive victory and turning point in that war. At the end of the battle, when General Bogin of England surrendered by General Gates of the United States with his sword, the generals of the two armies sat down together and attended a dinner that was even extravagant by today's standards, with a lavish feast of all kinds of delicacies, ham, goose, beef, lamb, and all sorts of crisp and green vegetables on large plates. Countless tantalizing rums and apple juices, do you know why? ”

Pete shook his head in confusion, he really couldn't understand why.

Why did two enemies who had a life-and-death relationship do this?

Old Evans smiled and gave the topic to his son, and little Evans said calmly:

"When I heard this from my father when I was younger, I was shocked to think that it was ridiculous, after all, the people who attended the banquet were bloody warriors who, only a few hours ago, had fought to the death with bayonets to defeat each other, and now sat at the same table, shook hands, and had a very merry dinner. How can this be understood?

But that was just what I thought 30 years ago, before I had barely entered politics and worked with professional politicians. When you look at the feast of splendor and joy in Saratoga from the standpoint and point of view of a statesman, you find that the scene in the tent of the victorious Americans is perfect. What better way to soothe the frenzied revenge of the defeated British soldiers than to send them the message that defeat is not a terrible thing? When you generously invite them to sit with you and share your apple juice, you will realize that the belligerent Brits are not so vile ̈"

He glanced at Pete, and found that his son-in-law had listened very carefully, so he continued with satisfaction:

"In dealing with their enemies, first-class politicians have always taken the same posture that Horry Shaw, General Gates had adopted two hundred years ago. Just as General Gates invited General Borgin, nicknamed Gentleman Johnny, to his tent for a delightful, friendly evening, so did the masterful skill of the prominent congressmen on Capitol Hill in dealing with enemies who were in utter opposition to their views, and I was amazed for a long time, and I don't know how many times I have seen members stride through the chambers of the House of Representatives, embracing each other and gaging after a heated argument with their opponentsLaughing and chatting about family life, walking out of the long corridor of the Capitol ̈ 1 "...,

Pete's heart was a little shocked, he had no idea that political things would be like this.

"Like many other phenomena in the political arena, it's not just friendships or partnerships that work here. In this world there are no eternal allies and no permanent enemies, one ......" remember the phrase, my dear son-in-law. 1 The famous British Prime Minister, Lord Palmerston, once said that there are only eternal interests. Like the great nations in their pursuit of national interests, great statesmen have always maintained dialogue and contact with their enemies, even the most ferocious ones, and they have very good reasons to maintain such relations. First of all, it is able to show a great power! ”

Speaking of the word "strength", little Evans especially accentuated his tone:

"When you are so comfortable chatting with someone you want to cut off your head, there's nothing more powerful to shock and unease your opponent. It allows you to know who you are. The more you communicate with your opponents and listen to them, the more you understand what they think, what they think of you, what they think of you, and what they think of their side, which is more conducive to your decision-making. And most importantly, maybe one day you'll have to work with this guy you hate, your enemy, and your opponent in this duel will likely be your very important ally in your next battle

Therefore, no wise politician will close the door of dialogue and reconciliation with his enemies, even those who do not share the sky, and you should always be ready to talk and make peace with your opponents.

Old Evans went on with his son's words:

"Even in those states that are loyal to the federal government, the crisis is getting deeper. As the first chalk leads a conflict between two forces. In Lincoln's time, for example, the Republican president, who was a radical advocate of the abolition of slavery and the new party of the old Whigs who remained in the Union, had to settle the factional strife within the party and unite the whole party before he could maintain the unity of the whole country.

In the process of forming a government, Lincoln, the newly elected president, did not choose cabinet members only from among his staunch followers, but also decided to pull his enemies aboard the boat to help him. He elected Salmon and P. Chase, who were known for their fanatical radicalism, and William and H. Seward for their prudence, and among his vastly different cabinet members, it can be said that only two things were in common: each hated the others; Everybody thinks he's better suited to be president than Lincoln."

"They're going to eat you. ̈Someone warned Lincoln about this. Old Evans took his cup and drank it. Water: "Each of them seems to want to kill the others for a ......," Lincoln replied in a humorous tone of a political veteran. With Lincoln's shrewdness and tenacity, he was capable enough to recruit powerful men to his command, placing them in the right places and under the watchful eye of his own eyes. But it was only when Seward and Chase both offered their resignations to Lincoln, and Lincoln persuaded them to stay, leaving their resignation letters in his safe, that Lincoln was convinced that he would succeed and that I had a sweet watermelon hidden in each of my pockets. That's what Lincoln said. ”

"Loyalty and localization are also very important." Little Evans said very seriously, "I know where you're from. I know your loyalty. Remember that, my child. To outsiders, the political arena seems to be a sinister and brutal place. Those who are diligently seeking power will not miss any opportunity that can be exploited. They will aggressively question their rival's motives and patriotism, even going so far as to make a fuss about his personal morality. Little attention has been paid to the deep-seated feudal norms that bound these gladiators at stake. …,

In order to go to the battlefield without worries and with high morale, you must first be sure that there will be no backyard fire."

"Loyalty is everything in our business, and I know where you come from. I know your loyalty. Little Evans said this, accentuating his tone, and repeated these two sentences: "Loyalty is everything in our business!" ”

Pete's head was a little dizzy as he listened.

He thought running for the Senate was a very simple matter, and it was either a success or a failure. But now it sounds like I'm so naïve, so naïve that it makes people laugh.

Old Evans looked at Pete's bitter face, and suddenly smiled: "Child, in fact, you must remember that politics is just a game, and whoever can play this game well will win." Politics is a transaction, naked, shameless, full of betrayal, counter-betrayal games! ”

Politics is just a game!

Pete may not have remembered the words, but they were deeply imprinted in his mind. yes, can't you just treat this as a game?

What does it matter if you win or lose?

I'm just doing things there for the woman I love.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Pete's face.

Pete really figured it out, he won't think about victory or defeat anymore, if he really fails, maybe Yu Yun won't force himself to run for Senate anymore, and then run for president of the United States! . ）
