Chapter 36: The Great Ideal
"Of course I don't like Hansen, this kind of person is the breadcrumbs of society, but you can't eat authentic Wiener tonkatsu without breadcrumbs, right? Make the most of them for our own benefit. It's good for everyone. ”
As he spoke, the phone rang.
"Please, take it, I'm so tired today, and my nerves are highly tense."
"You don't look like someone who would be afraid of Kongsberg." Chris walked over to the phone and teased casually.
"Of course I'm not afraid of Burke, but Alicia's Bichi, who said that she was accompanying me around the manor, actually touched my bottom all the time for two hours, and almost even knew how many times I peed in bed when I was a child."
"Pretty?" Chris cares differently
"Very good!"
"What about you? According to what I know about you, you should be touching her bottom too, right? ”
"Well, I didn't touch it, but I saw the dots."
“? How so? ”
"White one with a bear motif on it."
The black man was stunned for a moment, and then chirped, "You're a hooligan", and picked up the phone receiver.
"Well, I'm Chris, oh, Hansen, you're looking for Ed? Well, he's here, wait a minute. ”
"Hey, Hansen is me, oh, you're free tonight. Understood, understood, okay I'll call Felice, but I'm too tired today to accompany you, or let Chris accompany me. ”
Before he finished speaking, a fist the size of a rugby ball flashed in front of him.
"Oh, oh, okay, then you guys can drive yourself, okay, go straight to Ferrich, uh-huh, the Playboy Club is not going, right, okay, I'll let him arrange it."
Hanging up the phone, Chris grabbed him by the collar.
"Hehe, calm down, this is coming-of-age etiquette, don't tell me you're still a virgin."
"Hey, you're blushing! Damn, don't run. Edward suddenly became excited, as if he had discovered a secret that he had discovered.
"I remember, you were supposed to give each person a chastity ring, but why didn't I see you bring it?"
"That's for female believers!" There was a roar in his ears.
"Also, don't be so vulgar!"
"I'm essentially a vulgar person?"
"Deleted-Sue?" Chris is confused by the unexpected Chinese.
"Vulgar and vulgar, it's a pity that you can't understand the humor in this sentence, I told you that the best way to improve your sense of humor is to master a few more foreign languages."
"Then you can lend usury to more countries, right?"
The two were arguing.
Hansen and the Four Horsemen were already yelling outside the window, and they had been doing it for a long time to borrow the Pondiac chieftain.
"What about their own car?" Chris was a little confused.
"God knows, maybe it was sold for leaves." Edward couldn't help it, and threw the key out of the window, "Hope you don't get me a bunch of tickets." ”
"I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed, but of course, if the car comes back intact, it's a great victory. Do you want to eat something (the first tone, not the fourth, otherwise the big black guy will be from Tianjin)? Chris pushed the takeout box with chicken nuggets and burgers over.
"Well, I'm so tired." Edward was not polite, picked up the fried chicken and stuffed it into his mouth, "If you have any questions, just ask." But I have to say that it was a mistake for me to get things done this time, but a small part of it was due to luck. ”
"What does luck mean?"
"Connecticut belongs to the New England region, and if you change to Ohio or Texas, this trick will definitely not work."
"Why?"
"New England is wealthy, the inhabitants are highly educated, and there are many large families with a long history, so that the locals are relatively calm and rational, and they will think about the benefits and disadvantages before doing things, rather than being like the red necks of the South, who don't care about anything when their brains are hot. Pour me a Coke, thank you. No, no, I don't want a grape-flavored Fanta, this purple thing looks like a potion, I don't plan to advance, I'm not even a lawyer, how can I upgrade to a barbarian? ”
Chris: "If I wasn't familiar with you, I'd be calling the psychiatric hospital right now." ”
Edward ignored him, but fell into deep thought, "Looking at this thing's physique, it's obvious that he is a barbarian, why can he skip Sequence 9 and go straight to Sequence 8?" If you can't rely on the law, use force to solve it, that's what you're talking about. nnd It's not fair, I'm the main character. ”
Coughed and retracted his thoughts and continued to explain, "Speaking of which, Ferricher gave me inspiration, things that the Irish and Italians who have fought each other for more than a hundred years can oppose together, obviously there is a huge mass base, and from this point of departure, the later speculation will be much more convenient, Connecticutians are not afraid of death, and they are also very patriotic, but they will not send their children to the battlefield of uncertain life and death for the sake of boring ideological struggles." Of course, it's not the same in Texas, where a phrase of 'destroy the red devil in the name of Christ' would be the best recruiting advertisement. You're an Alabamanian, so you should feel a little bit more about that. ”
"Well, it seems true to you, that our farmer is also patriotic, but rough and lacking in thinking, easily taken away, and more religious, and I sometimes suspect that if the time is right, my hometown can still pull out a group of crusaders." The big black man admitted.
"Yes, you see this is our country, although they are all from the United States, but their personalities and ways of thinking are completely inconsistent, and in Europe, they are nationals of completely different countries, but they can live together under the Stars and Stripes here."
"However, in the south, it would be much easier if you could get a seminary."
"No, if it were Texas, I wouldn't do that, I would choose not to be involved in these things. The Rednecks weren't sane believers, but fanatics, hehe, I'm not talking about you, though you seemed to be extremely strong in your faith when you were in the Playboy Club......"
"Okay, take back your fist, damn it, believe it or not, I'm going to lie down and blackmail you for money now. This is called touching porcelain, the ancient oriental money-making technique! Oh my God, don't do it, don't do it, I was wrong, I was wrong"
Rubbing his neck, Edward continued to explain, "Don't make a fuss, let's go on, the terrible thing about fanatics is that they have no ability to think at all, and give the power to think to priests or religious leaders, such people are easy to control, but because of convenient control, the possibility of backlash in the future is also great, because convenient control is a double-edged sword, you are convenient, and your opponent is also convenient." And the New England region, because the Protestants who fled from England were naturally averse to fanatical religion and preferred to allow themselves to live with their faith, so it was difficult to convince them. But as long as you master the method, it's okay. ”
"How?" Chris asked
"Speak with interests. Hansen and they were able to pull so many people in the seminary, and the free Playboy was important, but what was more important was the promise, George Duffy would try to end the war when he took office, and at the same time exempt the current students from military service as much as possible. So how do they have to side with us? ”
"The president is a Texan, so it's normal for him to fight the main battle, for the sake of the basic votes. But Burke Kongsberg probably wanted to show goodwill to the White House, or to do business in Texas to the South, and openly expressed support for the war, which was too unpopular. George Duffy, on the other hand, was much smarter, at least not explicitly in favor of it. Speaking of which, that's the main reason I chose him. ”
"Do you think the war can't go on?"
"I feel that this kind of war will end sooner or later, and Lyndon Johnson is no longer seeking re-election this year, so the next president will definitely end the war. RFK (Robert F. Kennedy, one of the Democratic presidential candidates) is already slamming Vietnam policy. ”
"So," he drank all the Coke in one go, "I was lucky this time, in Chinese words, 'the right time, the right place and the right people', and then I was bold!" ”
"Yes, I wonder why you went directly to the other party instead of reporting to George Duffy first."
"Hehe, the too young, too simple Tucson breaks!" Edward sneered
"Santaimu takes the clothes!" Chris interface
"Oh, yes, I'll answer it. George Duffy, the old fox, said the other day that he would send someone to help me, because he had no money and could only provide assistance in human resources. Hehe, what he couldn't do before was done by me, although Hansen's ticket is not very honorable in his hand, but after all, he is a student at Yale Law School. George Duffy also had a lot of Yale men who wanted to build their own power, but they couldn't do anything in this turbulent dark age, and I succeeded. How can they not be blushing? ”
"George Duffy may tolerate my success and not fight for the leadership of this force, but his men will not be so polite. Think about it, if you are him, on the one hand, he is a temporary worker who has taken refuge in him, and on the other hand, he is an old subordinate who has followed him for more than ten years, and most of them are from famous families, and there is a lot of family power behind him, who do you choose to sacrifice? ”
"So......" Chris gasped.
"Yes, pre-emptively, creating a fait accompli and leaving everyone speechless. Even if you have something to say, you have to hold it back for Lao Tzu! ”
"Aren't you afraid that George Duffy and his men will have a bad feeling for you? Calculate you later? ”
"Hehe, I was afraid before, but I'm not afraid now, if he really does this, I'll turn around and go to work under Burke. Don't look at the relationship between the two, but when they really fight, they don't talk to each other. If I go to Burke's, he doesn't know how happy he is, at least I can bring that one of them. ”
"And for George, it's a real loss. So, staying with him now, even though it will make him and his men a little uncomfortable, it's just uncomfortable. After all, everyone is in a trench, and I shot in advance, which is also a warning to them: I am not a fool, if they push me into a hurry, they will really lose more than they lose. In the final analysis, Millican still respects strength, as long as there is strength, everyone is a friend, an ally, an equal, and everything can be discussed. Contrarily...... Hehe. ”
"Huh? I'm done, you don't applaud, it's okay, why didn't you react at all, which made me very disappointed. What about our friendship? ”
"You really should be a politician." Chris sighed from the bottom of his heart.
"I understand this is a compliment?"
"Heartfelt compliments and suggestions." The big black guy said very seriously, "By the way, you really don't think about it?" ”
"No, I'm definitely not going to be a politician, it's too boring and too tiring."
"And what do you want to do?"
"I thought about it, I will start choosing a major in my second year, and my direction is constitutional law."
"The Constitution?"
"Yes, our country is full of vitality and many opportunities, as long as you have the ability, you can be discovered, and then there will be no shortage of money and fame, what is the guarantee for all this? At least on a legal level, it is the Constitution! ”
"I want to be an expert in the Constitution, which is the most fundamental superior law, and I have the absolute right to interpret the lower law. In other words, by applying the Constitution wisely, I can veto any law that causes trouble, and at the same time keep my enemies in a sea of constitutional amendments! Including that damn FBI! ”
Apparently Edward was a very vindictive man.
Stan Gordon inexplicably sneezes in his office "Damn, why is it so cold this spring, and the building is not air-conditioned, FXXK"
"Think about it, in a country like ours, there are still nominated lifelong careers - justices, who claim to be the defenders of the Constitution, you should understand that the Constitution is really the supreme ......"
After a pause, he continued, "Tools."
Chris looked unconvinced, but finally nodded, they are all smart people, and it is enough to say this.
