William didn't believe his father loved him so deeply.

He knew that in his father's heart, there was no room for anything other than Germany, and this was one of the most important reasons why Wilhelm wanted to go to war against Germany.

But now Eliot had uttered such a ridiculous thing. He actually said that his father still loves him, and he still loves him deeply, does he really think that he is a three-year-old child?

"William, stop." Elliot whispered, "This is a war between two nations, and in fact a war between a father and a son. The baron doesn't want to see it, do you want to go on like this forever? ”

William shook his head: "No, I'm not going to stop the war. ”

"Do you want to keep going like this?" Elliot's voice rose in a hurry: "Do you really think you can defeat the Baron?" He has always been an undefeated myth on the battlefield. Do you see the current situation? The Baron had firmly controlled the victory in the war, most of Germany's territory had been recovered, France, Russia, and Italy had successively broken away from the Central Powers, and the Axis powers were further strengthened. In Britain, a large-scale all-out offensive by the Axis forces is imminent, do you really think Britain will be able to hold on? ”

"Britain may not be able to hold on." William said calmly: "Yes, I don't want to deny this, the will to fight of the British government army is not very high now, once the war starts, it is difficult to say how many officers and soldiers are loyal to the Fenton government, and how many officers and soldiers are loyal to Elizabeth II." Perhaps after the Axis began a full-scale landing, a large-scale mutiny would occur. ”

Elliot was a little anxious: "You know all this. But you are still stubborn about carrying out the war to the end? ”

"Elliot, you are a businessman, and a very successful businessman. I'll never be as good as you when it comes to business. William said, "But you don't know how to be a president, how to run a country. The presidency of the United States may seem like a glimpse, but it's actually the hardest job in the world, and when you make a choice, your only possibility is to make it. There is no second way to go. I started the war against Germany, and I was almost on the verge of success, even though there was all sorts of opposition in the country. But my personal prestige has reached a peak. Now, however, it is not only the United States that is facing failure, but I am also facing failure. Do you know what it means to fail? I will have nothing, and everyone will blame me for bringing America to its present predicament. So. Even though I know the road ahead is difficult. I had to bear it hard. Elliot, you won't get it. ”

Elliot understood, he understood everything.

After Wilhelm decided to go to war against Germany, the Wittgenstein family also entered a low period, but Eliot did not give up and always persevered until the turning point came, and the Wittgenstein family completely came out of the trough.

And now. William was also faced with the same dilemma. He and Wilhelm grew up together and were both members of the Wittgenstein family. And all the people of this family have a common trait: no matter how difficult the road is, they will grit their teeth and go all the way to the end of the road.

In this regard, William's personality has too many similarities with the baron, they never give up, even in a desperate situation. It's just, is such a character really good for William?

"Elliot, no matter how much you try to persuade me, it's useless." William said slowly: "Today, I only came to you for some things I want to ask for your help. The 'Galaxy' has been hijacked, and I think you already know that there are many important figures in the Fenton government on board, and I want to open a secret negotiation channel to redeem the 'Galaxy'. ”

For William, this is already a big concession, and the United States has always refused to negotiate such a thing......

"I can think about not only what the price to pay." William was quick to continue: "A huge ransom, or at the expense of some interests of the United States, the Fenton government. ”

"You're under a lot of pressure." Elliot was silent for a while and then said, "Do you know that if the incident of the 'Galaxy' is not resolved, the Fenton government will be plunged into chaos for a day, and it may even collapse anytime and anywhere. Is it? ”

Seeing William nodded, Elliot said lightly: "But do you think such a possibility?" This was a step in the Baron's plans, and if he succeeded, the Galaxy would be a very important bargaining chip for him to force the Fenton government to surrender and thus minimize the casualties of the Axis forces. Negotiation? William, do you think your father would have negotiated in a situation where he had an absolute advantage? He doesn't need any money, and he doesn't need any price you want to pay...... William, you know your father better than I do, and he will never negotiate for even a minute......"

A bitter smile appeared on William's face, yes, he knew that his father would definitely refuse him, but even if he knew that it was impossible, he had to do it, he had no other better choice.

However, when Eliot said this, he still felt a faint disappointment......

William shrugged: "Ah, I just asked. Eliot, you are an expert on economics, do you have any advice for me about the plight of the American economy? ”

"Nope." Eliot replied very simply: "All the methods that can be used have been used, William, and to be honest, I can't think of a better solution." And I can tell you with certainty that this financial crisis will be more severe and lasting longer than the one in 1942. The U.S. economy will collapse for a long time, and you, or your successor, will have to face a terrible winter in U.S. history......"

William was silent. "Neither you, nor your successor, will have to face a terrible winter in American history......"

Eliot's words seemed to tell him that the big plutocrats in the United States were no longer optimistic that he would be re-elected president of the United States.

William was a very ambitious man. He hoped that he would surpass President Roosevelt in his accomplishments, and he hoped that he would be re-elected more than President Roosevelt. He was almost able to achieve this, in the name of war! But when victory is within reach. But so many things happened.

War has made itself, and war has dealt itself a heavy blow.

"I always remember our happy childhood...... "William suddenly and inexplicably recalled his childhood: "At that time, we lived in Wittgenstein Manor, you, me, my mother, Aunt Hermione. And our old-fashioned and lovely Depsie housekeeper. We always fantasize about what we can do when we grow up, and we always feel proud to be part of the Wittgenstein family...... We grew up and embarked on two completely different paths. I went to China, where I met my father for the first time, and at that time I was still proud to be part of the Wittgenstein family. Elliot. You'll probably never be able to appreciate that pride I felt at the time......"

Elliot had a vague sense that something would happen that he didn't want to see......

William sighed softly: "Later." We parted ways, I have my ideals, you have your dreams, and we will never be able to come together again. So, from now on, I will leave the Wittgenstein family! ”

"So, from now on, I will leave the Wittgenstein family!"

When William said this. Elliot stared at him deadly: "Have you really thought about it?" ”

"Yes, I've thought about it." William replied so firmly: "From now on." From this minute on, I no longer have anything to do with the Wittgensteins! ”

Elliot smiled strangely suddenly, but his smile was filled with endless sadness and despair...... Then he said slowly: "William, the baron will be very sad when he learns about it, I still have to tell you that the baron has always loved you, and maybe his love for you will not be understood until many years later!" ”

He picked up his hat, and then said to William, "See you again, William." ”

"See you soon, Elliot!"

They spoke in such a polite tone, like two friends who had only known each other for a long time. When this "goodbye" is spoken, all the former friendships have been completely buried.

These two former friends will really embark on two very different paths from now on......

．．．．．．

Now, the whole of America is in chaos.

What seemed to be a simple incident caused so many things one after another was something that no one had expected before.

New York, like Oakland, has become a battlefield that was unimaginable before. The financial center of the world is now flooded with protests, strikes, and confrontations between black and white.

In Auckland, the mayor of Duira has been charged with eight counts, but what happened to the mayor shows no sign of quelling the unrest in Auckland. On the contrary, such unrest has intensified.

What's even more striking is that the "Black Panther Party", which has been missing for a while, has once again appeared in the sight of Aucklanders!

After the outbreak of the "Kasri Academy Incident", the "Black Panther Party" mysteriously disappeared with the hostages and the remaining members, and it was not until two days later that the police discovered the abandoned sewer. Newton and his "Black Panther Party" have long since disappeared without a trace.

All this time there has been a search for Huey. Newton and his "Black Panthers", but they seem to have completely disappeared from this earth......

Myers was the first to meet Huey after the events of "Kasri College". Newtonian. He couldn't believe it when he saw this leader of the black movement, and he couldn't wait to ask, "Mr. Newton, where are my children now?" ”

"Don't worry, Mr. Mars, your son is fine now." Huey smiled, then pulled out a photograph and handed it to Mr. Mars: "This is your son's photo." ”

Mr. Mars grabbed the photo, yes. The photo shows his son, who is a little thinner than before, but he still looks quite good in spirit...... Mr. Mars was relieved. But he didn't plan to call his wife out, which would make his wife, who was almost crazy because she missed her son, even more frightened......

"You may be seated, Mr. Newton." Mr. Mars invited Huey to sit down: "I know that my son cannot get out of this series of events, and I apologize to you deeply, so you can tell me now, what do you need?" How much money do you need to free my son? I will do everything in my power to meet your request......"

"Yes, we need money. I don't want to deny that. "We have some sympathetic sponsors, but they are not Auckland locals, so it will be a lot of inconvenience to help us," Huey said frankly. It is much more advantageous to have a local person who supports us directly. ”

Mr. Mars understood what the other party meant...... Huey. Newton wanted to make himself a funder of the "Black Panther Party...... It's one thing to sympathize with blacks yourself, but it's another thing to fund directly. After all, the status of black people in the United States, especially in Oakland, is very low. If the news of self-funding of black people spreads. It will have a very serious impact on their families and companies......

"Mr. Mars, you don't have to worry about the problems you're facing...... "Huey knew what the other was worried about, "you won't know anything about our funding, everything will be done in secret." Of course, you'll be rewarded, and we'll give you something you don't expect, for example, the mayor of Auckland will soon become vacant......"

Mr. Mars almost thought he had misheard...... Where is the mayor of Auckland? Did Huey think that a black man and an organization he led that was on the move could help him do such a thing......

"Mr. Mars, I know that your heart is full of doubts and distrust of us...... "Huey smiled, "but you probably don't know who is behind us. Supporting our organization. You are a very rich person in Auckland. But your assets are completely incomparable to the power behind us, and their power will make you feel fear, tremble, and their power will shock the whole of Oakland, and even the whole of America. They can easily do whatever they want......"

Truth be told, how did Mr. Mars believe Huey's words...... In any case, the person standing in front of him is a black man, and a black man can actually say such a thing? Crazy, he must be crazy.

Huey came to the phone, dialed a phone number, said a few words into the phone, and then politely said, "Mr. Mars, are you free to answer the phone?" ”

Mr. Mars came to the phone in confusion, and after only a few seconds his face changed completely...... It took him five minutes to get the call......

After putting down the phone, Mr. Mars's voice sounded a little shaky: "Mr. Newton, I never thought that I could talk to him on the phone, and I actually talked on the phone for so long. Mr. Newton, do you really know him? ”

"Yes, I know him, and he has always supported us unconditionally." Huey did not hide it in the slightest: "And what I can also tell you is that Duira's downfall was also planned by him behind the scenes. If that's not enough to boost your confidence, then I can tell you again that Douglas will be the next to fall after Duira. Yes, Douglas will also be prosecuted in just two days, so you can wait and see. ”

Mr. Mars had no idea what to say...... Just a few minutes ago, he couldn't believe that a black man could have so much energy...... The man he knew, there was no one in the business community in the United States who didn't know him...... The guy he knew could really do anything he wanted with ease......

"First and foremost, I need to make sure my son is safe." Mr. Mars calmed his emotions for a moment: "My son must not have any problems. ”

Huey smiled again, "Mr. Mars, your son will appear in front of you tomorrow night." ”

"Really?" Mr. Mars couldn't believe what he had heard, however, when he saw Huey nod solemnly, Mr. Mars's heart completely relaxed: "Then, I will fully support you." Yes, I will do my best to provide you with any help you need. However, until what we discussed succeeds, I need you to keep it a strict secret, and you know how much trouble I will get if something like this comes to light in Auckland. ”

"I know, Mr. Mars, that we will promise not to leak any rumors." Huey smiled and said, "So, I think the alliance between us has been officially established. ”

Mr. Mars nodded earnestly.

He suddenly found that a bright path that he had never thought of before was waiting for him! (To be continued......)
