Chapter 649: Exchange of Benefits

This mansion in the Carlorama district was actually the residence of William Habs Renqvist in Washington.

And the Morgenthau family and others came here to be guests.

Robert Morgenthau and Peggy were together in Washington three days ago. They came here, of course, to see their granddaughter/daughter actually ascend to that position as a judge on the District of Columbia Circuit.

Just in the most in the Federation. High. Law. In the courtyard, they also attended and participated in the ceremony. It was to come out earlier, to the villa of the Lemquist family in advance.

Abel and Peggy leave later and meet at the house of William Habs Renqvist.

Renquist and for the grand ceremonies, entertained the arrival of the Abel and Morgenthau families.

Of course, Robert understands why Lemquist is enthusiastic, mainly because Abel is there.

In a way, his relationship with William Habs was not very friendly.

This is normal, one of the two sides belongs to the Donkey Party and the other belongs to the Elephant Party. And at a young age, William Habs Lehnquist also had the prospect of becoming a prosecutor in New York.

But the Grand Commander at that time was Kenny. Dee, he's a donkey party, and Robert is a little hair.

Kennedy, with his unique charisma, can be said to be the most popular and supported general in the history of the United States.

Although the general commander does not influence the election of the district attorney. But he couldn't stand Kenny, who was already the Grand Commander at the time. Dee came to New York to stand for Robert Morgenthau in person.

Robert's competitors, including William Habbs at the time, naturally couldn't bear the blessing of the first charismatic commander, so they all lost.

Kenny though. Di Cheng is also because of too much charm, and his brain is also because of too much charm.

If he hadn't been popular with the people because of his charisma, the people's hearts and support would have exploded. Then he wouldn't want to try to reform the current situation in the United States.

If he doesn't want to reform, then he won't be open-minded...... is somewhat similar to Master Xiao Luo.

Throughout the more than 200 years of American history, almost all of the assassinated commanders have tried or done something to change the status quo in the United States.

Up to Lincoln, down to Kenny. This is true of Li Gen after Di.

It can only be said that the class and distribution of interests in this country are deeply entrenched.

Anyone who wants to challenge this distribution, as well as the existence of interests of all parties, will have to face backlash from them.

It is as strong as Master Xiaoluo, who holds military power and has great prestige after the victory in World War II.

There is also a great prestige among the people, and is well received by the workers and workers. Would love Kenny. Advance.

All of them failed.

In fact, it turns out that the so-called reforms are no longer possible in this country.

Off topic.

Robert and William Habs's previous relationship was somewhat unmatched.

This may be one of the reasons why it was difficult for the Morgenthaus to intervene in the federal legal system after Renquist was reborn in the system.

It's just that both of them are old now, and Robert is already in his 90s. The younger Leqvist was even worse and had cancer.

Both of them have reached the point where they must think about the aftermath and the descendants of the family.

At this time, Abel stood up with a smile again, willing to be a witness to the dΓ©tente between the two sides.

As a result, Renquist, whose relationship was not hostile but always unfriendly, shook hands with Morgenthau.

That's why Robert Morgenthau and William Habs Renqvist are sitting together for dinner today.

The number of participants at this luncheon was not large. In addition to the three Morgenthor and Abel, Lehnquist was William himself, his son John, and his niece Caroline Winnie Lehnqvist, a total of six people.

"Your main contender, there's only one Cyrus Vance Jr."

At the luncheon, I saw Robert calmly talking to Caroline:

"Although last year, Cyrus Roberts Vance passed away. But Roberts left a large number of allies within the Donkey Party. These allies want Vance Jr. to take over the important position of Manhattan District Attorney after me. ”

"Later, I asked Peggy to take my place. Although they have a lot of opinions, after all, Peggy is also surnamed Morgenthau, is my granddaughter, and is also their own person. So they endured. Right now...... Peggy also took off the job. It is clear that this time they will definitely not remain indifferent. ”

At this time, William Habs Rehnqvist couldn't help but sneer: "Ha, old Vance left little Vance in his connections and friends. Dear Robert, you may be the most important part, right? ”

Robert shrugged his shoulders and did not respond to the mockery of old Leechvist.

Lehnquist Sr. was indeed not wrong, and he Robert Morgenthau was really the mainstay of supporting Vance Jr. to take the position.

In the past, Robert has been one of Cyrus Roberts Vance's important allies.

What about just important allies? One is that Cyrus Roberts Vance has died.

Second, since the contact with Abel, the Morgenthau family's original deep-rooted donkey party origin has also become unpredictable.

Robert, who is himself a conservative in the Donkey Party, easily reconciles with the centrist wing of the Elephant Party.

With Abel as the middleman, even if it is a job hop, it is nothing.

Like this time, the Morgenthau family, which has been a donkey party for hundreds of years, has produced an elephant party - Peggy Morgenthau. The Donkey Party had a lot of opinions, but the Elephant Party didn't say anything.

The reason is because Abel is here.

It is also for this reason that the White House and the Senate, which are controlled by the Elephants, can make a person who came from the Donkey Party and joined the Elephants in the middle of the way become the chief judge of the District of Columbia Circuit.

They didn't want to push Abel over the donkey party anymore.

Coupled with some promises and resource exchanges made by Abel, this situation eventually came to fruition.

But then again, Robert Sr. is also a scheming. All along, Peggy has been non-partisan...... It can be regarded as a hand of preparation, so that the opponents of the elephant party will not be able to attack in this regard.

Looking at the not so harmonious picture of the two old men, Abel interrupted the confrontation between the two with a speech: "Little Cyrus? I remember when he gave Peggy as a deputy? Have you also searched my company? ”

"Yes. Vance Jr. is the current principal assistant in the Manhattan District Attorney's Office. According to the rules, if Peggy resigns, he will temporarily act as Manhattan District Attorney. However, there will be a new election next month. So he can only be the Manhattan District Attorney for half a month at most. Robert explained.

"What are his odds?"

Hearing Abel's question, Robert looked at Caroline with an expectant face, then at Peggy, who had been eating with a calm face, and finally looked at Abel.

"Originally, if Peggy didn't compete with him, it was 100%. If Peggy were to compete with him, he would have less than 40%. ”

"...... Now"

Robert whispered, "If you, the chief citizen of New York, are on the side of Ms. Renqvist." I think...... The probability of Vance Jr. winning is very low, provided there are no surprises! ”

Abel understood, and he smiled and looked at William Habs Lehnquist, and then at his chief counsel.

"It won't look too difficult, dear Caroline."

Something happened at home.,Update I'll make up for it later.,Sorry.。
