The White House, Office of the President.

"What the hell!"

"Who betrayed me!"

"Surely some of you have betrayed me!"

Kennedy slapped a newspaper on the table and snarled and lost his temper. There were quite a few people present, but only Mr. President's voice was heard, and the rest of the people were silent one by one, not daring to move for half a minute.

He only mentioned the idea of currency reform to the people around him, and before he could even formally introduce it, the next day he was warned through his father to stop trying to go in this direction.

Not only that, but even the media newspapers have related rumors, and reporters from major media outlets have heard the wind and chased this explosive news. For this reason, the Kennedy administration had to come out to refute the rumors and strangle this bill in its conception.

Clearly, his approach has upset some people. Since the United States is at war, he, the president of the United States, wields a lot of power. In addition, he did many things that went down in history during this time, which made him a little carried away, and as a result, he told the secret in his heart.

"If I know who betrayed me, I'll have to pick his skin!"

Kennedy looked at the people in front of him, including the president's assistants, some cabinet members, secretaries of state, vice presidents, etc., all of whom he trusted the most, but he didn't expect that someone would confess his secret.

It made him feel angry, but he didn't feel a hint of danger.

After all, it's just an idea, and even the proposal isn't finished yet. It's not a big deal. Kennedy thought so in his heart, he had been reproached by his father yesterday, and today he couldn't hold back the anger in his heart and vented it vigorously.

Looking at the silent people in front of him, Kennedy waved his hand and let them all go. Only Vice President Linden stayed, and Linden said to him: "Maybe it wasn't our own people who said it, but you know that there are many agents around us......"

"You're saying the FBI might have done it, right?" Kennedy interrupted Lyndon with a wave of his hand. Sighing: "Alas! I wonder if it's possible that these agents did it? They are simply like cockroach rats everywhere. As long as there is a gap, they will come and disgust you. ”

Vice President Linden was silent, and although Director Hoover died unexpectedly a few years ago, the FBI, where Hoover had stayed, was not affected much. It continues to evolve and expand. Monitor and listen to the people around you all the time. It's like the legendary hydra. Even if you cut off a head. It is also able to grow new snake heads instantly.

It's just that this time Kennedy mistakenly blamed the FBI and whistleblower someone else. Even the man was standing in front of him. That's Vice President Linden!

Yes, it was Lyndon himself who stabbed Kennedy in the back.

Lyndon's philosophy is actually very close to Kennedy's, and it can even be said that Lyndon was also a radical. He agrees with what John F. Kennedy once said, "Ask not what the state can do for you, but what you can do for the country." ”

This quote resonated with many people, and Lyndon was one of them.

It's just that his radicalism, unlike Kennedy, is not so radical that it gets out of control and does not develop into paranoia. For some things that can be achieved, he will do them step by step, and for some things that seem beautiful, but in fact will lead to social unrest in the country, he can also resist the temptation and turn away.

Since Kennedy came to power, the administration has done many things that Lyndon thought were too rosy, but in fact made a mess of the situation. This was the case, for example, with the Bay of Pigs incident.

At the behest of Kennedy, the CIA assisted Cubans fleeing to the United States to land and invade at the Bay of Pigs on the southwest coast of Cuba.

Before this began, Lyndon had repeatedly protested to Kennedy, believing that such a naïve invasion plan would never succeed. But Kennedy had an arrogant personality and would do whatever he could.

Originally, this is nothing, it is normal for the government to make mistakes, as long as it admits mistakes and corrects them. However, when Kennedy saw that the invasion plan had failed, he pushed it all along, implying on many occasions that he knew nothing about it. The effect of this was very bad, so that Lyndon had to pinch his nose and carry the black cauldron.

When a rift is formed, it only grows bigger and bigger, and it doesn't disappear on its own. The relationship between them was such that Lyndon became more and more unbearable with Kennedy, and with the fact that he was an ambitious man himself, he became more and more unhappy with the seemingly glamorous position of vice president, but in fact it was designed to carry the blame.

"Someday, I'm going to sit in that seat too!" As early as the election campaign, Lyndon had such an idea. By this time, his thought was getting stronger and stronger, like a soldering iron pressed tightly to his heart, making him unable to sleep day and night.

Lyndon was a qualified politician who knew what he could and couldn't do. In the eyes of most Americans, he is a typical Texan: tall, burly, loud-voiced, impatient, friendly, unruly, casual, and at the same time aggressive, vulgar, reckless, and belligerent.

In addition to these traits, he has an amazing memory, an alert and sharp mind, and a witty sense of humor and endowment. Johnson is so energetic that he can almost make a sleepy Calvin? Coolidge also moved in his grave. He usually walks at a trot, and is known as "Johnson trot".

In later generations, his autobiographical book became a must-read for many politicians. Francis, the actor in the American drama "House of Cards", admired him very much and learned his skills as if he were like him.

For things like stabbing his partner in the back, Lyndon felt no guilt, and even a little happy. He was an old friend of Kennedy, but he was also a rival, and when he decided on a goal, if someone stood in his way, it was someone else who had to let him. And not that he let someone else.

He was convinced that he would do a better job than anyone else in that position, and he did. Lyndon was born a politician, and a position like the presidency is for that kind of person.

Lyndon chatted casually with Kennedy, and he comforted him: "Don't worry, those chaebols are just a gentle reminder that as long as we don't overreact, they won't have any ideas." ”

Kennedy replied vaguely, not dwelling on the topic. He didn't know how much Linden knew about the mysterious organizations of Freemasonry and the Illuminati, in case he slipped out. Spread some sensitive things out of the air. That is likely to attract post-personnel to deal with it.

For such things that cannot be discussed publicly, they must strictly abide by the rules, unless they are allowed to do so, even if someone discusses it with him. Nor can they respond loudly. Like a member of the Skull and Bones Club. If there are outsiders talking about something similar in front of them. You have to shut up and turn away.

They didn't talk about it all the time, they just talked about it around newspapers and leaks. But when it comes to the chaebol, maybe it will slowly come to that aspect. To avoid gaffes. Kennedy: They had to keep their mouths shut.

For a moment, the two of them had nothing to say.

Suddenly, Kennedy said, "Do you know about Alex from Vietnam?" ”

Lyndon had a puzzled look on his face, and he didn't know why Mr. President Lu Dao wanted to mention Alex, although he was a peripheral member of the organization, but on the surface he was controlled by the major chaebols, and he didn't know much about many things in that circle. Lyndon was much older than Kennedy, and his family was not as powerful as the Kennedy family, and he never knew how to "be a man".

"It is said that he went abroad for a walk, but he didn't expect it to be a dangerous place like Vietnam." Lyndon thought for a moment and quickly said, "It's strange that there was no news about this before this. When he went out of the country, the newspapers have not reported it! ”

As for Alex's cognition, Lin Deng only knew about public information such as TV news, newspapers and magazines, and did not know as much insider information as Kennedy.

After such a trial, Kennedy finally understood how much Lyndon knew about it, and he chuckled: "I don't know when he came to Vietnam, but I've heard others say that he came back from Vietnam." ”

Speaking of Alex, Kennedy was both envious and jealous of him, as a candidate, he had the intelligence source of his father Joseph, and he was surprised to know that Alex was suspected to have only become a "human being" in recent years! That is, he competed with Alex, and in the end he failed and lost the election.

As soon as he thought of this, Kennedy felt a feeling of unwillingness in his heart.

For what! For what?

Why can Alex become a "man of the best", and he was elected president and failed to succeed in the competition, is it because he was self-made, became famous as a teenager, and had a superhuman IQ, so he was chosen by those old antiques? But no matter how powerful Alex is, he is just an entertainment star, at most a business wizard, how can he compare to a political genius like him!

Unable to figure it out, Kennedy had no choice but to stop thinking about it and focus on the affairs at hand. After he assumed the presidency of the United States, he faced various domestic and foreign events, especially now that the United States is not calm in the country, various movements are falling one after another.

Unlike Eisenhower, Kennedy was highly dependent on black votes. In the 1960 presidential election, he agreed with the Supreme Court's decision to desegregation and reached out to Martin Luther King, Jr., cementing black support for him.

In the same way, Kennedy was associating himself with the black civil rights movement. In May of this year, in May 1961, white and black college students boarded buses in Washington, D.C., to plan through the Deep South, breaking down segregation facilities at various stops.

However, they were greeted by an angry mob that attacked the passengers with chains and stones. Eventually, Kennedy had to send 500 federal law enforcement teams to Montgolima, Alabama, to organize the escalation of the atrocities. Even so, many of the South still defy the laws enacted by the government.

All in all, Kennedy's president was faced with a lot of things, and when he put his body and mind into his work, he could forget about other things, forget about his rivalry with Alex. (To be continued......)
