Of course, Edward knew this man, the famous signatory of the Lansing-Ishii Agreement.

It was on November 2, 1917, that the exchange of foreign documents was signed between U.S. Secretary of State Lansing and Japanese Foreign Minister Kikujiro Ishii.

In the agreement, the two sides reaffirmed their respect for the principles of "open door", "equal opportunity" and the maintenance of China's political power and territorial integrity in China. At the same time, however, the United States acknowledges that Japan has "special interests" in China because of its "geographical proximity."

Of course, in fact, the document itself has not been well implemented, mainly because of the vague wording, insufficient enforceability, and unworthy of the ambitions of both sides, especially Japan, and was replaced by a larger spoil-sharing agreement five years later.

"Papa ”

"Do you know John Foster?" He asked about grabbing

"The Secretary of State at the end of the 19th century, I think it was the Republicans, and it was supposed to be President Benjamin Harrison?" Edward patted his head and replied, this person is not very famous in the history of the United States, and many people in the United States may not know that there is such a person.

The president of the United States is quite a magical existence, some of the famous names, not to mention that the people of the United States are known in the corners of Africa, but there are also some obscure ones that seem to have been used, and they will be finished after they are used, and no one pays attention to them......

"Yes. I remember that you are of Chinese descent, so you have something to do with His Excellency Secretary of State John Foster, who was once a legal adviser to the Qing government, and when he signed the agreement, he was responsible for dealing with the unreasonable demands of the Dongying people. Of course, the result is not very good, it is not as good as Li Hongzhang's bloody clothes......"

Edward didn't speak, but continued to listen.

"William Foster had three daughters, and the third daughter, Edith Foster, married Alan Massey Dulles, who was my grandfather. He was born into a religious family, and both he and his father were senior ministers of the Presbyterian Church, and had a high reputation in the local community. ”

John Foster's eldest daughter, Eleanor Foster, was married to Robert Lansing, later Secretary of State. But the two have never had children. So my mother was passed away. This is the origin of her name, Eleanor and Lansing. By the way, the Lansing family and the Dulles family are both from Watertown, New York, and they live quite closely, and the Lansing family is also a member of the Presbyterian Church. ”

"Lansing is an ancient family that came to live in the New World from the Netherlands very early, and the Michigan capital is named after them. The Lansing family played a large role in the early development of New York and was one of the technical architects of the legal system of the United States. ”

In the 19th century, when Roth Lansing Sr. was a senator from New York, his cousin Jeret Lansing was a member of Congress, and earlier Abraham Lansing was the state treasurer of New York, the state treasury was much more powerful than it is today...... You should understand that. ”

Edward nodded, he remembered a public case: "So, the delegate to the Constituent Assembly, John Ike Lansing, Jr., who was declared missing in 1829 and has not yet been found, is also on this line?" ”

"Yes, actually, we all tend to think that it was the Republican Party's political murder......," said Solomon, who rarely saw him in his hands

"It's a pity...... The period for legal prosecution has passed. And, with the great development of the United States now, everyone is reluctant to mention these past events, which is very emotional......"

"John Lansing Jr. was a smart man, and he was upright, he was a good man, but he was not fit to be a politician, so he disappeared into history, but that's fine, at least he became a story and a legend, and lived in everyone's psyche in another way."

Edward didn't know what to say.

Probably that's what politics is all about.

There is an enmity between the ancestors, but as long as the interests of the two sides are synergistic, they can sit down and talk, and even climb each other's families......

"By the way, the little John Ike Lansing you mentioned actually has something to do with you......"

"How?"

"He was a justice of the Supreme Court in New York and had a very good reputation, whether it was Sheldon or Bergman, you had no less dealings with his successor. It feels ok......"

"Yes, it's a great honor. So, that's why you chose New York as your base? ”

"Yes," Solomon got up from his couch "This is the largest and most vibrant city, and most of these ancestors from more than a hundred years ago have been forgotten, but the network they originally weaved is still there, and as a descendant, I have to admit that I have gained a lot from it." "Gnawing on books

"Of course, don't think I'm going to ask people on the Internet to help me reverse black and white or something," Solomon quickly added.

But having said that, it is enough to show that he is not trying to hide anything, or that these things are secret to ordinary people, but if he steps into that circle one day, it will become information for after-dinner chat.

Solomon is now showing his sincerity by speaking out of himself.

"Of course, you're not that stupid," Edward nodded in agreement, "all you need is an excuse that will get you to knock on their door, and that's enough...... For me, it's something that might take 20 years or even a lifetime of struggle......"

"Yes," Solomon said calmly, "our country is like this, although the class has been somewhat solidified, but at least you can choose to join...... And it can really be recognized. Solomon was serious.

Edward pondered for a moment, and felt that the other party was indeed not lying.

He had an excel sheet in his head, the first column was the year, and the second to fourth columns were the lineage of the Lancen family, the Foster family, and the Dulles family.

It is very interesting to see that the political center of gravity is gradually downward from left to right.

In other words, there was a shift of supreme power between the three families. Grabbing

This is certainly not to say that the so-called Lancen handed over the power to Forster, who in turn passed it on to the Dulles, which is the view of a typical political layman.

Of course, the highest level of power in a country will not be transferred here and there so simply, otherwise it would not be a United States with an advanced political system, but an old-fashioned feudal dynasty.

In fact, it is not so much a transfer of political power as the other way around, a story of the "backward" family mastering the course of history with the "help and guidance" of the "advanced" family, and then relying on their own struggle to gradually succeed.

This shows that the first narrative method is very important, and the second statement is obviously more upright and full of positive energy than the first.

Secondly, "If you don't know it, you can't predict it, and the fate of a person must of course rely on self-struggle, and you must also take into account the historical itinerary"

The level of insight into the historical itinerary of the superior is far greater than that of ordinary people, and if they are willing to mention a thing or two, what a good opportunity.

Every family will have one or two generations to shine politically, at least as senators, and the bottom line is usually to be a key member of the cabinet, or simply the president and secretary of state.

However, the descendants of these political stars have not attracted much attention.

Before, Edward thought that this was a normal behavior, after all, if it was really passed down from generation to generation, from generation to generation, wouldn't it become a feudal dynasty?

This is also one of the important points of the United States' external propaganda: "Everyone has a chance, this is the dream of the United States." ”

The counterpart is the Russian joke "Can the general's son become a marshal?" No, because the marshals all have sons. ”

This set of rhetoric is very confusing, and it not only makes people from outside the country rush to it, but also the people at home are convinced of it.

Only now do I understand that other people's gameplay is obviously more clever.

Through marriage, gather as many allies as possible, and then support each other.

When the family's political star faded, the descendants stopped seeking political status – perhaps an agreement between allies, but instead developed in other areas to stabilize the situation.

In line with the idea that the emperor will take turns to come to my house next year, he will take turns to rise to the top of the supreme power to grab political interests, and at the same time use power to rent, and use power to take care of his allies and relatives, and continue to operate after stepping down, forming a de facto family of gate lords. 巘戅追文zHuIWen.rG戅

In this way, it not only avoided the infamy of feudal dictatorship, but also formed a good reputation and explained the past both internally and externally.

And in the process of inheriting and transferring this power, it can absorb a lot of fresh blood, and let the brightest minds of the United States join, thus ensuring the long-term advantage of their own group.

Solomon's recruitment of Edward was also motivated by this consideration.

There was Henry Puzeer, who was also a civilian, who completed his Juris Doctor program with his own struggles and student loans, and after three years under Solomon, he successfully took over the responsibility of "special prosecutor", and in his early thirties, he had the budget power of tens of millions of dollars and the personnel power of hundreds of people.

It is conceivable that he will probably work in this position for three or five years, and he will definitely insert a large number of his own people into it.

Solomon could then use his legal status and connections in New York to get cases to be sent to Henry Puzeer.

If he finishes it beautifully, then the future is very bright. And the options are numerous.

The Semi-Provisional Institutions Special Prosecutor's Office was not a place to stay for a long time, perhaps it would have been cut if the state budget was tight that year, and there was not much contact between the relatively marginal department and the state power center.

Next, what awaits Henry Puzell will probably be:

1. Administrative and judicial route - as an assistant to the New York State Attorney General or a powerful bureaucrat of the State Department of Justice, of course, you can also choose New York City, the former has more power, but the latter has more development opportunities.

2. Pure legal route, enter the Federal Second Circuit Court as a judge's assistant, work with peace of mind for ten years, and then become a federal circuit court judge in a remote area, and then look at personal creation.

3. Purely administrative route, becoming a legal adviser to the real power department of New York State or New York City as a transition, and then gradually becoming a real power bureaucrat.

4. Business route, Henry Puzell has accumulated enough government resources over the years of work, and he can go to a large law firm as a general partner, and be promoted to a senior partner after a few years.

And no matter which of these four routes is taken, as long as he is careful not to make too stupid mistakes, then in about fifteen years, he will have the opportunity to enter the center of federal power and serve as a professional affairs officer.

If you wish, you can also consider running for Congress, that is, to go from being a professional lawyer to an elite politician.

But no matter how outstanding he is, the Solomon mark on his body has always existed, or one day his shit luck broke out and he was favored by the high-level bosses to be recruited as his son-in-law, and since then, it will also become a bridge between Solomon and the bosses, and his own career tree can also click on the hidden profession - power broker.

In short, the United States relied on this system to silently integrate the national elite and use them to transfuse blood for the ancient family, and eventually turn them into a part of the family, forming a substantial aristocratic class to participate in the rule of the country.

The Lancen, Foster, and Dulles families are all very successful in areas other than politics, and such families have deep roots, and it is difficult to destroy them if they attack them from politics or business alone.

Or even if the adversary is a two-pronged attack, and the political and commercial two blossom at the same time, they will have a counterattack, and don't forget, Solomon also has a cousin - to inherit the mantle of old Dulles - the presbyterian priest......

This was common sense, but for some reason, Mr. Avery Dulles suddenly felt the call of the Lord while studying in Oxford, so he joined the Society of Jesus, became a Catholic, was warmly received by the Pope, and has been teaching at the prestigious Woodstock Theological Seminary ever since.

If all goes well along this path, Avery will probably become the first cardinal ever to come from the United States, and he will go further in this regard than the Kennedy family, which has a strong Catholic tradition.

Secondly, the Council of Elders is the ancestral craft of the Dulles family, and although there is a heresy of the Dulles family, there must be a remedy, right?

Mr. Avery Dulles' sister, and Solomon's cousin, Lilith Pomeroy Dulles, took up the ancestral mantle and became a respected religious leader in the Presbyterian Church.

With such a respected religious scholar, the Dulles family can be said to be as strong as Rocky Mountain, at least for now.

Grabbing. Some people may say that politics, academia and business don't come with money, how can there be no money in the money empire of the United States?

But on the other hand, if you can really do these three things, where will you worry about money?

Didn't Edward just rush to deliver the money?

Nothing needed to be done by Solomon Blomheim, not even with the predators behind the second- and third-rate funds that Edward saw as his prey.

As long as the other party learns that there are two members of the House of Representatives plus Solomon standing behind this Jewish little deflated three, they will naturally choose to abide by the laws and rules of the United States......

Chasing books and reading zhuiShuKaN.oM. And when the matter is over, these experiences will in turn strengthen the character of "Solomon the Omnipotent".

He just went about his business quietly, waiting for the next guy to send the money to arrive......

On Saturday, Edward was in his nest in New York, huddled on the couch with his head in pain.

Today is the first day of the opening of his calculated Wall Street operation, and he has made thousands of calculations, but he has missed people's hearts.

Now he understands why there is a political commissar in the army, and only by doing everyone's ideological work can the maximum energy of the team be brought into play.

At the moment, there are only three people in the house price, but it is already wrong!

Megan and Elena are sticking their arms around each other, each striking the most seductive curves, greeting each other and reminiscing about college life and the sisterhood of plastic flowers.
