Three poles on the sun.

Laura, who had always been in the early days, squinted her eyes and nestled in Situ Nan's arms like a sloth, looking cute, and her exhalation sprayed on Situ Nan's bare chest, making him slightly itchy.

The eyelashes were long, moved, and closed again, and the crystal lips were gently pursed, not yet recovering from the madness of last night.

They had consumed so much energy that neither the housekeeper nor the servant had come to disturb them.

Keeping a mistress is a common thing in Western high society, but in the East it is not so troublesome, just marry home.

Situ Nan gently stroked Laura's soft blonde hair, and the mood was relaxed, and the storm finally passed.

Last night they discussed until the early hours of the morning, and there was no lack of verbal exchange in the intense physical exchange. Situ Nan confessed to his woman outside, honestly admitted his mistakes, and guaranteed Laura's superior position, including the scale and development direction of the William consortium.

Laura has always been in charge of the William Foundation, and every year she spends millions of dollars and materials to build schools, hospitals, donate to medical schools, distribute food to the poor, and generously does not belong to the Rockefeller Foundation.

She doesn't really know how much money Situ Nan makes outside, but she just has a general idea.

When Situ Nan told her about the development of the William Foundation, she was surprised for a long time, and then fell silent, her husband's career achievements had surpassed that of her proud father, Andrew Mellon, and the wealth accumulated in ten years was comparable to the struggle of two or three generations of the Mellon family. At least Andrew didn't reach the heights of Situ Nan when he was younger.

Such a man is beyond her imagination. What surprised her even more was that the US-China Consortium founded by Situ Nan had already controlled the lifeblood of a country, and the war between Nanhua and the Netherlands had been planned by Situ Nan several years ago, and Nanhua's huge industrial plan was strongly supported by the William Consortium of the United States.

There was also the matter of the Hanmes-epitek Freemasonry, but it was kept by Situ Nan.

According to Situ Nan's instructions, China and South China are also one of the priorities of the William Foundation, and Laura has heard about South China. It's just that I didn't expect Situ Nan's involvement in those things to be so earth-shattering.

What else could she say to such a man? Is it really that far? But the juniors are very peaceful, and this man even made a will, leaving most of his property to himself, indicating his status in his heart.

Last night was so sad and beautiful!

Laura quietly opened her eyes and raised her head, looking at Situ Nan's frowning brow and pensing. Some heartache. At some point, the gentle caressing of his big hand stopped, and he leaned on the head of the bed thoughtfully.

"What are you thinking? Thinking about your plans again? Laura's fingers gently pressed on Situ Nan's forehead, her eyes were like water, and there was indescribable tenderness.

The body exposed to the air is still delicate and charming, and the skin is crystal radiant. She is already a mother of two children, and she is not at all developing in the direction of an aunt like other white women, but exudes mature beauty all over her body! It's exciting.

"Nope! I'm wondering how long it's been since I've made breakfast! Show you a hand today! Situ Nan leaned over Laura's head and kissed it, then got up and walked to the kitchen.

Laura smiled sweetly and hugged the pillow that had left it warm. Squinted happily again, this feeling of being pampered was too long gone.

Although the maid had prepared a delicate breakfast, Situ Nan still stubbornly operated it himself, poached eggs, his best.

The warm and loving breakfast didn't last long when it was interrupted by a series of phone calls. Harding's death caused a shock. The "Los Angeles Times" published it early this morning, and it was known throughout the country for a while, and all kinds of remarks were published.

When Situ Nan was making breakfast, the newspapers in Europe and Asia also knew that the president of the United States had died. From vice presidents to ** officials to cabinet members, there are more than a dozen presidential candidates in the White House, and the death of a president will not affect the United States too much, and it is still a president who has always advocated that the government is nosy.

It's a big deal! Treasury Secretary Andrew, Congressional Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Wilson, California Senator George, and San Francisco Mayor Cole called in turn to exchange views.

Situ Nan also talked on the phone with the bosses of several major conglomerates, such as Morgan and Rockefeller. These are the big bosses of the Republican Party, and they all agree to keep a low profile with Harding's death while keeping the Republican administration's current liberal economic policies intact.

We will continue to reduce taxes, raise tariffs, and promote foreign investment by U.S. companies. The consortium was optimistic about the economic situation in the United States, and tried to minimize the impact of Harding's death.

Harding's death diverted attention from the recent expansion of Japanese immigrants in the United States, allowing them to escape for a while. Americans are used to the death of the president, and they are more concerned about whether Harding was poisoned by his wife as rumored, but there is no open coffin, no more investigation, and the official has always believed that it was an accident - a stroke!

At least that's what San Francisco's doctors say. Maybe he died of guilt, if Harding found out that his Ohio brothers were a bunch of greedy and vulgar guys. In short, to the eyes of ordinary people, Harding is a mysterious symbol shrouded in a layer of fog.

"My dear, what do you think of Mr. Coolidge? Will he be up to the task? Laura was satisfied with the breakfast prepared by Situ Nan, it was close to noon, and the two of them were still enjoying breakfast lovingly.

"Yes. He's a well-behaved guy and everybody likes him. Situ Nan said with a smile.

Harding has a gentle personality and is outgoing, otherwise he would not have run around the country to comfort the people. The first time that the American people heard the president's voice clearly began with Harding. This is made possible by over-the-air broadcasting.

This good old man is more righteous, and he is often surrounded by a large group of Ohio brothers who eat, drink, and have fun at the White House all day long. But the big brother who took the lead died. Their lives are probably not going to be easy.

Coolidge's personality is just more Harding, on the contrary, old-fashioned and strict, low-key, meticulous, and has a clear understanding of his own responsibilities, which has something to do with his background as a lawyer.

But when the news of Harding's death reached Coolidge's ears, he was a little confused. The time was in the early morning of August 3, that is, when Situ Nan tossed with his wife last night, in the middle of the night, at his home in Vermont. No electricity, no phone (this origin****??) Old Coolidge was woken up by a hurried knock on the door, picked up the flashlight, opened the door impatiently, and scolded the uninvited guest with a long **** rod: "Bastard! U.S. law didn't sue you, will you be shot dead for trespassing? ”

The dark night, the faint flashlight, and the dark barrel of the gun made the messenger who was bent on mourning (or annunciation) raise his heart to his throat and swallow his saliva. Shaking all over, he said in a very special tone: "The president is dead, and I have come to rule Mr. Coolidge!" ”

"Who died?" Old Coolidge looked at the messenger at the door who was a little pale (frightened) and a little ruddy (running too fast), the other party was not a bad guy in uniform, and the barrel of the gun was slightly open.

"President, President Harding. News from California. Sir, I think it's time to inform Mr. Coolidge to take over as president. ”

The messenger said earnestly. Seeing that the old Coolidge was still in a daze, he reminded, "Soon, the reporter rushed over." ”

"Yes, yes, yes! ****??” Coolidge Sr. hurriedly put away the gun. Rushed into the house with a bang. In the dark night, the old man seemed to be muttering excitedly, "Great! My son is going to be president! Ha ha! I'm going to prepare for this ceremony. ”

The dreams of the sleeping Coolidges were disturbed by the elder Coolidge, who rushed into his son's room and pulled the sleeping couple out of the bed.

"Son, get up. Harding's old bastard is dead, and now you're president! In the dimness, Coolidge Sr.'s voice was very excited. You don't have to look at it to know that his face is red and his neck is thick.

"Oh! God, forgive me! I couldn't be more excited. ”

From the excitement of Coolidge Sr., Coolidge began to understand what was happening.

He got dressed and walked down the stairs with a stern expression. In the early hours of the morning, the Coolidge family's house was lit with a lot of oil lamps, and it is estimated that all the oil lamps in the house were taken out.

The dim light, it was an old kerosene lamp from the Standard Oil period. The room was lit up, and the faces of those present were excited and solemn.

In the foyer of the Coolidge family's house, there were really a lot of reporters, popping, cameras sounding from time to time, and fluorescent lights flashing, reflecting the excitement in people's hearts.

Coolidge didn't have any expression on his face, looked at the old Coolidge with a red face, and sighed in his heart. He knew why Lao Tzu was so excited, because the elder Coolidge was a notary public, he had been a notary public all his life, and he had never made any big luck, so what could make him more excited than personally presiding over the oath of the president?

This kind of professionalism is completely understandable, and besides, it is my own son. Coolidge obediently let the old Coolidge notary fiddle with himself.

Under the auspices of Coolidge Sr., Coolidge completed a unique presidential oath and became the thirtieth president of the United States.

After answering the reporter's equally excited question, he turned upstairs and went to bed, leaving the elder Coolidge excited all night.

"Honey, don't you have anything to say?" Mrs. Coolidge, who was also excited, leaned in, her body was very hot, and she was also excited about the pie that fell from the sky.

"I'm happy for you. I believe you are a good president. Oh, poor Mr. Harding, he is a good man, and I feel sorry for him. ”

In contrast to Coolidge's reticent personality, Mrs. Coolidge was much more cheerful, but her chatter did not elicit a response from her husband.

What's there to be excited about, the president is not doing less, talking less, doing things according to the rules, just don't stretch out your hands, Americans can take care of their business.

"Sleepy! Go to bed. Coolidge fell asleep with his head covered, and there seemed to be a hint of excitement in his tone.

The next day, I hurried back to Washington, and in the ** official Adolf? Under Huo Ling's chairmanship, it was the sworn in to take over the president.

As we all know, Harding's cabinet members have scandals one after another, and they have left a mess for Coolidge. With a year to go before the general election, will the people abandon the Republican Party and the Coolidge government? Quite a few people are waiting to see the show.

Although the Harding cabinet is the best, the policies implemented by the Harding cabinet have satisfied several major conglomerates. Situ Nantong Guò Andrew's relationship expressed his support for Coolidge. In terms of personal relationships, he maintained a reasonable and intimate attitude with Coolidge.

is right as Situ Nan expected, after Coolidge came to power, he didn't have any new tricks at all, he looked like he was in order, and he didn't mean to take office three times at all, and even the criticized cabinet did not make adjustments, and everyone did whatever they wanted.

As the month passed, a month later, the people had accepted Harding's death.

"Didn't the president make any changes to the cabinet?" Situ Nan asked Andrew.

"Nope. He said that since people had elected Harding as president. He should continue Harding's term, at least until the next election. So the policy of the Harding period will not change. There is also a cooperation agreement with Nanhua, which he also confirmed. ”

Andrew said on the phone.

"That's good. By the way, what does the president think about the tax cuts at next year's Republican convention? Situ Nan asked. In recent years, the Republican Party, supported by the consortium, has been promoting tax cuts, and when Harding came to power, he cut taxes once, but it still did not satisfy Situ Nan.

"Tax cuts are the consensus of the Republican Party for next year's election. It doesn't matter who comes to power. Andrew said.

The long transmission distance made the phone sound a little distorted, but Situ Nan still felt the confidence in his tone.

"That's great. By the way, there will be some rumors about the Ohio Gang Oil Company coming out recently, and it may be some big news. Finally, Situ Nan reminded.

It is said that Harding once said, be president. He didn't worry about his enemies, but the friends around him kept him awake at night. Paper can't keep the fire.

Counting the days, the oil scandal on the teapot is almost time to explode. Prior to this, several ** cases have been exposed, such as. Charles? The Forbes-led Veterans Administration has been incredibly extravagant and wasteful, resulting in $200 million in waste.

There is also the Office of the Administration of Aliens, which also has a lot of favoritism and irregularities in the management of German-funded enterprises, but the Ministry of Justice has done nothing.

Basically except for the super-rich man Andrew? Mellon, Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover, who has made a difference, and Vice President Coolidge, who has no real power, and the rest of Harding's cabinet all have more or less ** problems.

In the twenties. The prosperity of Coolidge is also accompanied by a long-lasting anti-** struggle.

The Democrats, who lost their White House throne and were devastated by the banning of the Ku Klux Klan, will surely pursue the senior cabinet officials involved, and the oil companies involved will be punished in the following trials.

However, the rapid development of the economy has covered up many problems, in fact, these ** behaviors can be investigated, and the relevant responsible persons are more or less punished by law, and it is basically impossible to have similar investigations in other countries, if you compare them horizontally. It is also the superiority of American democracy. In most feudal and semi-feudal countries around the world, greater evils abound.

In the phone call with Situ Meiden, Situ Nan said this-"**It's not terrible, it's terrible that it appears** but there is no way to check it!" The ** case in the United States is also earth-shattering, but after later supervision, a similar situation rarely occurs. This is something that South China should learn from. ”

"Yes. We have woken up to the situation and are making reference to the legal systems of Britain, the United States, France, Germany and other countries to improve the legal system of South China. The attorney general is discussing such issues with legal experts at universities such as Harvard. ”

Stuart said.

After a short time, after a visit to Wèn in Washington, D.C., he continued his visit to San Francisco and Los Angeles. It is welcomed by hundreds of thousands of Chinese.

California is a state with a large Chinese population, and in addition to the embassy in the United States in New York, the embassy in San Francisco is not inferior at all.

Because there are hundreds of thousands of Chinese with South China passports, because they get South China passports, in turn, they can easily bypass the "Chinese Exclusion Act" and obtain residency in the United States one after another, and slowly enough to influence California politics in terms of voting.

The Fargo family, who has always maintained a close relationship with the Chinese power, Cole? As the mayor of San Francisco, Fargo has achieved brilliant construction results and has become a political star.

Under his influence, the San Francisco government began to recruit a number of Chinese civil servants, who were small in number and held small positions, but they were a good start.

At least, in terms of political treatment, the Chinese are not at all inferior to the Japanese.

Harding's death did not affect the South China delegation's visit to the United States, and in addition to the political and economic negotiations, the South China delegation also made a large-scale and sustained study of the Northeast Industrial Region, the Great Lakes Industrial Area, and the emerging Western Industrial Region of the United States.

Iron and steel, railway transportation, and shipbuilding are still the focus of the investigation, and in the bases of large industrial giants such as the American Iron and Steel Company and the Bethlehem Company, those Chinese delegations were undoubtedly surprised, and the trip to the United States made them realize that the little industry they started to build in Medan was only pediatrics.

Many representatives originally returned to South China from the United States, but a few years have passed, the United States is undergoing earth-shaking changes, a large number of factories have been upgraded, and the thick and dense wires have also made many South China engineers who have returned to the old place realize the huge gap with the world's industrial powers.

In the San Francisco Bay Area, Stuart Nan accompanied Stuart and his entourage to visit the Francisco Shipyard, the only shipyard on the West Coast of the United States that could build battleships.

However, the shipyard is not to build ships, but to dismantle them!

"See? That is the big ship of the Great White Fleet in the past, more than 20,000 tons! However, due to the influence of the Washington Naval Treaty, some old ships will be eliminated. The Mississippi we saw was one of those misfortunes. ”

Situ Nan pointed to the sea giant not far away and said with a smile, in appearance, it was indeed very powerful.

"What a pity! When did Nanhua have such a ship? Stuart Maiden looked sorry and envied the wealthy Yankees.

"There will be, ten years! It is estimated that in ten years, Nanhua's shipbuilding industry will be able to build such a large ship. Situ Nan encouraged.

Ten years is still too optimistic, shipbuilding is not so easy, Nanhua struggles for 20 years and estimates that it can build 10,000 tons of warships!

"Uncle, don't envy others, Nanhua doesn't even have enough fishermen, let's train enough merchant sailors first!"

Situ Nan comforted.
