He was thinking wildly, but Burke Kongsburke's face was cloudy.

Edward's threat was immediate and effective.

In the past, this may have been a problem, but it was not difficult to solve.

The Kongsberg family has deep roots in the state's educational circles, and it is completely possible to put pressure on the school and other off-the-table means to drive students back into the classroom, or to give speeches or something, after all, there are Kongsberg scholarships and Kongsberg libraries in several universities, which is a natural advantage and prestige.

And yet now......

Seeing that professors and university administrators are about to be paraded through the streets with black cards, let them speak for themselves? It's good to die, I still support the Vietnam War!

That would make the National Guard fire rubber bullets and tear gas!

It's so close to New York, once that group of TV reporters smell the smell of gunsmoke, they are afraid that they will immediately fly over to interview, no wonder Clark Kent's real identity is a reporter...... It's really fast.

Seeing that Burke Kongsberg Jr. was silent, Edward knew that his strategy had probably worked.

It was actually Féricher who gave him the idea or inspiration, and the Italians love their families, and their performance in World War II is enough to show how much they love peace.

At present, anti-war is about the same as anti-government, but it is not a slogan to shout slogans on the street to bring down President Lyndon B. Johnson, so there is no use for birds, anyway, opposing the president at the door of the White House is a traditional Milican art.

Even as a model of rice-style democracy to the world, the entrance to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C., is simply the largest show venue in the world.

In this country, the more grand the narrative strategy, the less effective it is.

On the other hand, starting from the micro ecology and playing the family card, the mother card, and the warmth card, can achieve miraculous results.

Edward also believed that even the most patriotic mother would not want her child to run 10,000 miles away to play with the Viet Cong in a bamboo pocket whom he had never seen in his life.

Damn, why did you start thinking cranky at this time! Burkeke Kongsberg Jr. was secretly annoyed.

Taking advantage of the other party's uncertain kung fu, Edward gritted his teeth and threw out the trump card: "The turtle has crossed the threshold - absolutely (crossed out)...... Look at this double."

"Mr. Kongsberg, I have to admit that there is some truth in what you said before, and I think I may have underestimated the patriotism of American mothers."

"Huh?" Little Burke couldn't understand the other party's routine, but habitually took a deep puff of the pipe, but the pipe was extinguished, but he didn't notice it, and still sucked it in fiercely, as if this thing was a huge amplifier that could transport the courage molecules in the air into his alveoli.

"So, do you know the honorary head of Mr. Duffy's campaign?"

"Paul Newman?"

"Yes, he's been in a rare gap lately, spending all day on the race track, and imagine what you think would happen if 'the world's most glamorous blue eye' went door-to-door to convince those poor mothers not to send their children to the southern rainforest?"

"Hehe" Burke Kongsberg Jr. woke up from the shock, and immediately sneered, "You are still tender after all, how many calls can a big star make a day?" Do you know how many families there are in the third constituency? ”

"It doesn't take much, as long as he makes ten calls tonight. Believe me, after 24 hours, the housewives of the whole constituency will leave the kitchen and stay in front of the telephone like a young girl, and drive their husbands, sons and daughters outside for dinner. Believe me, although I don't have much political experience, I probably know better than anyone else in this era about the psychology of women treating their idols. Edward smiled and muttered to himself, "Dude, why don't you just drop out of school and toss the idol industry, and get a NY48 or AK47 or something group out, it should be popular, right?" But it's hard to say, there is no otaku in this ghost place......"

"......" Burke Kongsberg Jr. was stunned.

Of course, he knows Paul Newman's status in the hearts of women, his wife is an out-and-out star chaser, and as a successful businessman, he also understands women's spending power, especially when there is an idol endorsement.

The old Jewish proverb of doing business is well known: "The best business is the first for children, and the second for women." ”

If Edward could read minds, he was afraid that he would immediately echo the words, "Stinky men, hehe, especially the spending power of married men, which is at the bottom of the family, not even as good as pets." ”

Unfortunately, there are no powers in this world, and Edward can only smile, "The only Jew who can be more popular than him is probably Einstein...... Isn't it? ”

Burke Kongsberg Jr. is really in trouble now.

He was reluctant to admit the danger posed to him by the other party's whimsical plan, but reason told him that once the other party was put into action, it would be a great blow to his election plans.

What's even worse is that the current poll data of the two people is about the same, and the other party has directly opened a big one, and they can't deal with it.

Kongsberg claims to be a blue-blooded old money family, but in fact, he also knows many big stars, and has friendships with Richard Burton and Marlon Brando, but he is reluctant to use this relationship, and even privately ridicules George Duffela for coming to Paul Newman as a petty family and will become the laughing stock of all New Englanders.

But now he can't laugh, no one thought that Paul Newman could still use it like this?

The most annoying thing is that on the first day, as long as you make ten phone calls, or even only three calls, and then the housewives will frantically pass messages to each other......

No, you must come up with a solution!

Mechanically remove the soot from the pipe,

Mechanically filled with new tobacco,

Mechanical scratching special long-pole pine sulfur-free matches,

but he did not light his pipe,

It wasn't until the match burned to the end that it was hurriedly thrown away

A beautiful wool carpet has an unsightly dark spot on it.

Burke Jr. didn't care about these gaffes, and he paid more attention to the election of the House of Representatives.

"Come here, help me, how?"

"I'm honoured, but I had an appointment with Mr. George, and I'm a respectful contractor." Edward looked regretful.

"Oh, I was reckless." Burke lit his pipe, "It's rude, I'm going to make a few phone calls to my friends." ”

"You're busy, I'll wait for you in the outside reception room." Edward quickly stood up, opened the door and walked out, with an uncontrollable smile on his face.

About a quarter of an hour later.

"Oh, young man, your name is Edward, please come in!" Burke stood in the doorway of his office, regaining his polite demeanor.

"Okay, you can call me Ed."

"Ed, let me be blunt, what price will George make if I drop out of the race?"

"Uh...... It's hard for me to say. ”

"He didn't give you the bottom line?"

"In fact, he had no idea I would be coming today."

"......" Burke was sullen for a moment, so that he couldn't hang out and curse - what do you mean by that?

Single-handedly came over to stir up my affairs, and then successfully achieved the goal, and your boss still doesn't know?

Finally, the good cultivation of the blue-blood family made him endure it.

"Okay...... It seems that I fell at the hands of an unknown young man, but after today you will be famous. ”

"No, it's a political game, a comparison of the strengths of the two sides, and a compromise between the pros and cons. I just happened to be involved, and the outcome of everything was decided by you and Mr. George. If it's convenient, I can help you get Mr. George over and you can meet in person. ”

"OK, you can contact him with this number, when you see this number, he should answer it in person, well, this is a pay number, you can ensure priority access."

"...... "Edward muttered," said Edward, "I would have known that I would have thrown myself into this house." ”

"But I finally took it, the roster and Paul Newman, both of which should have hit his sore feet, luck, luck"

……

"Hi Burke"

"Hi George"

About two hours later, the two met.

"I was supposed to give a speech in Hartford today, and I came over after I got a call from Ed, and I quickly canceled the speech."

"Haha, it's still the same you, since you became the prosecutor general, you haven't been here almost ever, right?"

"Yes, you also know that there are too many things to do with the prosecutor, and I really miss it, is old Mr. Consberg's study still there?"

"Of course, that's my study and the reception for important guests now, let's go. Look at the furnishings inside, how much do you remember? ”

"I rely on ......" Edward almost fainted, these two people knew each other before, and they seemed to have a good relationship? What is this TMD? Singing together? ”

"I didn't expect to lose to you this time," Burke Kongsberg Jr. said as he walked, "I thought I was 70% sure of victory." I invested $300,000 for this. ”

"We have to try to know that we are friends, but Millican has always encouraged friendly competition. It is this spirit of competition that makes our country so strong and able to become the leader of the world. ”

"Your eloquence is as good as ever."

"You're just as happy as ever."

Edward followed behind the two, a little difficult, the next interview was confidential, and he had to be a newcomer and a low-level clerk.

"Ahem," he coughed twice, "Mr. Kongsberg, I heard that your manor is beautiful, can you give me the opportunity to visit it?" ”

"Well, good idea, it stands to reason that I should accompany you personally, of course George, he is familiar with this place, but now we are going to talk about something boring but necessary, so...... Well, as it happens, my niece Alicia happens to help me with the campaign side, and then she's going to be very empty, so I'll let her walk with you, and the young people can talk together. ”

……

In the evening, when he returned to his apartment in New Haven, Chris was eating fried chicken and grape-flavored Fanta again, and when he came back, he couldn't help but complain, "You're lazy again!" ”

"Alright, we'll be free in the future. I can go to the kitchen every day. ”

"Huh?"

George Duffy and Burke Kongsberg Jr. made an agreement that the latter would drop out of the race and declare support for the former, and that the city attorney general would be taken over by the Burke Jr. family, and that George Duffy would share his judicial resources in Hartford with the Kongsberg family to help them expand their business northward. As for the rest, I don't know. ”

"Just relying on Hansen's group as a bargaining chip?" Chris thought it was incredible.

In his eyes, those people were just rubbish.

"Don't be so arrogant, my friend" Edward slumped triumphantly on the sofa, looking at the ceiling with empty eyes, this action made him feel comfortable and familiar, and a name "Ji Chunsheng" appeared in his mind.

"Who is this? It feels like he should be a celebrity, or an influential person, but this, this, where can I find him? Why don't you call the Pinkerton Detective Agency tomorrow and spend some money to let this group of social rats use all kinds of legal and illegal means to investigate? ”

took out the memo he carried with him, and neatly wrote the three big characters "Ji Chunsheng" in it, I always felt a little inappropriate, but I didn't know what the problem was.

Chris is not surprised by this.
