Eight hundred and ninety-nine. President William

The weather in New York has been a bit cold this year, but that hasn't stopped everyone from dreaming of making a fortune.

In fact, it is not that no one finds the problem, but people will always have some illusions, thinking that they are definitely not the last person to take over in the drumming game.

All people are stupid, and only you are the smartest. It is this mentality that makes this dangerous game about to reach a peak state.

But who cares?

Stand in the warm office. Elliot held a glass of gin and stared out the window. He didn't like gin before, but after spending more time with the baron, he gradually liked it.

People will always influence each other.

His assistant Paris walked in quietly, with a light movement, as cautious as Eliot had then. Elliot laughed, "How's it going, Paris?" ”

"Ah, everybody is crazy about the property contract, and the stock market is going up and down......" Paris said in an unpleasant voice, and then the conversation shifted: "But since yesterday, people have suddenly started throwing out several very valuable houses, like the ...... on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan."

Elliot suddenly said, "191 West Eleventh Street, Fifth Avenue, Manhattan? ”

Paris was stunned, he had to look at the information in his hand to be sure: "Ah, yes, 191 West Eleventh Street, Fifth Avenue, Manhattan, how did you know about Lu Road?" ”

"He's back, he's in New York right now." Elliot took a sip of the wine in his glass: "Really. He's really made it to New York. Ah, but why didn't he command me to go to him? ”

"Are you talking about the Baron?" Paris asked cautiously.

"Baron, the Baron I've been waiting for......" Elliot simply couldn't control his feelings: "191 West Eleventh Street, Fifth Avenue, Manhattan." Then there's the abundance of properties in Brooklyn and Queens...... Ah, the baron already knows what I want to do...... So, he started to do it too......"

"Did you say that the Baron knew what was going on without meeting you?" Paris hesitated.

"Paris, the Baron doesn't even need to meet you to know what is going to happen to you." Eliot's tone was filled with pride, as if these things were his own glory: "His magic." It's something you can't imagine, and even what I'm doing now is entirely from the baron. I think. The baron doesn't want to see me for the time being, he must have his thoughts. Inform Mr. Morgan and Mr. Rockefeller at once, that I will have a meeting with them at once. ”

"Yes, sir. I immediately went to call. ”

Watched Paris walk out of the coffin. Elliot poured himself another glass of wine, a full glass of wine. He came back to the window, and there was some fog on the window, and he seemed to see the baron's face emerging in the mist.

The Baron is back, and soon everything will be back on the right track......

......

White House, January 1966.

"Mr. President, the stock market continues to go wild, and the housing contract is about to get out of control."

"Can't help it?" The youngest president in U.S. history, William Brown. Wittgenstein turned his head.

"I have convened several meetings of experts in this area. But no good solution has been found. Turner, the president's top aide, said helplessly: "We can't use the power of the government to interfere, otherwise." This will plunge our country into chaos ahead of time. ”

William was silent: "I have seen with my own eyes the terrible stock market crash in August 1942, the complete collapse of the entire American finance, no one can save it, no one. And this is nothing more than a copy of 1942......"

William sighed, he knew what was coming, but even as the president of the United States, he couldn't stop the crazy market.

Unless, there is a person here who has a solution......

"That's all we can gather." Turner put a stack of papers in front of the president: "I think what we don't want to see will happen soon." ”

William flipped through the papers, and then his gaze quickly stopped: "191 West Eleventh Street, Fifth Avenue, Manhattan?" Are you sure you are not mistaken? ”

"Ah, I think so, these documents have been double-checked." Turner said with great certainty.

"He's back." William said suddenly.

Turner felt a little strange, not because he wondered who the president said "he" was, but because he found that the president's voice was trembling.

In his impression, although the president was young, he was brave and determined, and never bowed his head in the face of setbacks, and it was these excellent qualities that allowed him to defeat a strong opponent and become the youngest president in American history.

"It was a three-story, retro-style house." William was fascinated: "The decoration inside is not luxurious, but it can give people a warm feeling, it is a real home." In the past, every time I was unhappy, I would sit there for a while, and then there would be nothing to worry about. Ah, I remember, once, I stayed there for three whole days, and the butler old Mr. Forde, who would always bring me a hot cup of Chinese tea with a few biscuits of my favorite, and then left silently, never bothering me. Then old Mr. Forde died, and I always felt that something was missing there, and I never went again......"

Turner wondered why Mr. President said these things......

"After Aunt Hermione died, the house there had been Elliot's care...... "William's eyes narrowed.

"Is that what he sold too?"

"No, Elliot would never dare to sell these properties, no matter how bold he is." William said coldly, and then, his tone became emotional again: "There is only one person who is qualified to do this. He's back, he's really back. ”

Turner swears. If there was no one else in the office, Mr. President would have cried......

"The financial collapse may not be a bad thing at this time." William quickly pulled his mind back, he was the president of the United States. He will not give up on business because of personal feelings: "It has been proven many times that war will be a great irritation at home...... Turner, how's the situation at the front? ”

"Mr. President, it's a bit frustrating." Turner said regretfully: "Originally, everything was going according to the plan, but the sudden appearance of the skeleton baron changed the situation on the battlefield. The German armies in Berlin, North Africa, and the Middle East launched counterattacks one after another, and all of them were victorious. What's even weirder is that the Skeleton Baron will always show up on time to fight back...... To our dismay, we don't know how he did it. And in the face of the counterattack that he personally commanded, we couldn't even stop it, but I don't think we need to worry......"

"You mean to say that according to the current strength of the two countries. Don't we have to worry about whether we will win? William smiled, "No." You are wrong, you have never experienced the horror of the baron, he has a strange and miraculous power, which can make many impossible things happen inadvertently, at the time of the Battle of Montforton, 900,000 allies surrounded him, but he left miraculously, and no one has been able to figure out how he left until now. On the battlefield of Dmiyansk in the Second World War. No one expected him to show up, but he did. And in his own way, he led the desperate German army to victory...... Turner, never underestimate this man, none of us are his opponents......"

I don't know what the road is about, but Turner always felt that the president's words seemed to have a special admiration for this skeleton baron...... But if you think about it, in the United States and in Europe, Baron Skeleton has a large number of admirers and followers, and perhaps Mr. President is one of them.

"So you mean we can't win?"

"No, you're wrong again." William said lightly: "He is very powerful, he can lead the troops to win a local battlefield in a desperate situation, but he will definitely not be able to make a big reversal." General Westmoreland has received the reinforcements he wants, and he will relaunch a new offensive by the end of February, and will launch simultaneous attacks in the Middle East and North Africa. Even if the baron really had three heads and six arms, he would definitely not be able to deal with so many places at the same time. The war will soon end with the victory of the Allies! ”

Turner was relieved at this time, just now, he thought that the president had despaired.

"Go do what you're supposed to do, ah, call Hoover."

"Yes, Mr. President."

It didn't take long for FBI Director Herbert Hoover to show up in the president's office.

This is a legendary figure.

John. Edgar. Hoover, who was far more famous than a movie star, and whose power was beyond the reach of the president. He is a symbol of the times.

In 1924, when Hoover, then a young lawyer in the Department of Justice, was appointed director of the FBI, no one would have imagined that he had been in this position for 42 years.

Hoover knew how to keep secrets, and this was the real reason for his success. Not only did he know these secrets, but no one knew what secrets he knew. No president dared to fire Hoover, because no president knew what Hoover did. This is the biggest intimidation of the president......

William, however, was never afraid of Hoover, because he saw people more miraculous than Hoover. In that person's eyes, Hoover's set may be just some pediatrics.

"How's it going?" William glanced at Hoover and asked lightly.

"Martin. Luther. Kim is under my watchful eye. Hoover replied with the same coldness: "He is still constantly supporting and agitating for strikes, and his popularity has reached its zenith, after he gave a speech that I Have a Dream." A large number of followers gathered around him. ”

"I have a dream." William smiled: "We also came to this holy place to remind the United States that this is a very urgent time. This is by no means the time to talk about calming down or taking gradualist sedatives. Now is the time to live up to the promise of democracy. It is time to climb the bright path of racial equality from the desolate and dark valleys of apartheid, and to open the doors of opportunity to all the children of God. Now is the time to save our country from the quicksand of racial inequality and place it on the rock of brotherhood......"

Hoover laughed too, knowing when he should be cold. At what point to laugh.

This is Martin. Luther. Part of Kim's "I Have a Dream" speech, Mr. President casually recited it.

He knew very well that President William, although he was the youngest president in the history of the United States, could never be deceived by his age, and that no one else could know what was really going on in his heart.

"This is a dangerous guy, and he can't let his eyes down for a moment." William put away his smile: "Many times, a mouth can be worth an army of 100,000. Former German Führer Adolf. It was through his excellent speeches that Hitler established his unparalleled prestige in Germany. ”

"Yes. Mr. President. Hoover hesitated, then finally spoke: "We have an unconfirmed message, maybe Adolf. Hitler did not die. ”

"What?" William, who had always been very calm, finally cried out.

Hoover smiled bitterly: "Unconfirmed news." I'm trying to get people to look into it, but it's probably beyond the FBI's purview. ”

"No, this is absolutely impossible......" William said this, and quickly reversed his thoughts: "Why can't it happen?" He also returned. Adolph. Why couldn't Hitler not die? Could it be something he did? ”

"You're talking about Ernst. Bream? Hoover quickly guessed who "he" was.

William didn't answer directly: "Hoover." I know that it is beyond the authority of the FBI to investigate these matters, but I now give you the special right to find out in the shortest possible time whether Hitler is still alive or not. ”

"Yes, I'll do my best to find out."

"There's one more very important thing for you to do." William paused, opened his drawer, and pulled out a photograph from inside. He seemed to cherish the photograph so much that he stared at it for a long time before handing it over to Hoover.

Hoover took it, and the photo was yellowed. It's been many years. The photograph shows a young man and a woman.

"Woman, it's Countess Léony." William said slowly, "That man." I think you should have guessed who it was. ”

"Baron Skeleton?" Hoover blurted out in surprise.

"Yes, Ernst. Alexon. Feng. Bream. ”

The surprise in Hoover's heart could no longer be expressed in words.

There is no one in Europe or the United States who does not know about the Baron of the Skull, but strangely enough, the Baron did not leave any frontal photos, only a profile photo of him once taken by a reporter.

Despite the Baron's reputation, there are not many who really know what he looks like. What I didn't expect was that the president actually had a picture of a skeleton baron.

William knew very well that this was the only photograph of Baron Alexon in this world, which he had taken with his mother, and then his mother gave it to him, and whenever he thought of his parents, he would always take out this photograph.

"Baron Skeleton has arrived in the United States, and it's in New York."

William's words surprised Hoover even more, such a situation did not even grasp him, and how did the president learn about it?

Now, Hoover finds Mr. President even more mysterious......

"Send someone to find a way to find him." William looked at the FBI director: "However, don't hurt him, bring him safely to the White House." Mr. Hoover, I must remind you that by my prohibition of harm I mean that I shall not use any profiteering means against him, even if not at all. ”

"Yes, Mr. President, I'll do my best." Hoover felt a little strange, but he agreed without hesitation.

"Actually, you may not be able to catch him." William suddenly smiled: "Hundreds of thousands of troops can't catch him, I don't really believe that the FBI can do it." Unless it's him who wants to walk into the White House. ”

"Oh, Mr. President, he doesn't have the skills to swagger in front of you and hurt you."

"You're wrong." William smiled again: "If he wants to, no one can stop him." And there's no need to worry, he won't hurt anyone here. ”

Speaking of this, he froze: "Alright, Mr. Hoover, go about your business." ”

When Hoover left here, William fell into deep thought again, in fact, what he wanted to say just now was not "he won't hurt anyone here", but "he will never hurt himself".

No father in the world would hurt his son.

Over the years, he has missed his father all the time, both in his dreams and when he is awake. Like any son, he wanted his father to be by his side.

He worships his father, more madly than everyone else, and in his heart his father is God, even if he is now the president of the United States.

The moment his father left him, he felt like he was about to break down. He wanted to tell his father not to go, and if he could, he was willing to pay any price.

But my father eventually left......

He didn't hate his father's ruthlessness, because his father was a great man, he had a lot of things to do, and a person like him would not be involved in the family.

The only thing he hated was the country that his father had served for so many years! (To be continued......)
