Chapter 680: Power Leans toward America

Congressman Alexander and another member of Congress, Neil Bush, are both members of the House of Representatives.

The difference is that Alexander's district is in Texas and Neil's district is in California.

Both took office in 2002, while the House of Representatives served only two years.

In other words, it's not just the end of the year that George has new challenges to face. At the end of this year, both of them will have to hold another election to ensure that they continue to sit in their positions.

But compared to George, the two of them are in a stronger position.

Needless to say, Alexander is backed by the Smith family's fundamentals. If it weren't for the verbal agreement with Tom and the governor, Alexander could even try his hand at running for the Senate or governor in Texas!

Although Neil is in California, where the hands of the bush family are out of reach, one of Abel's basic plates is there!

Today's Neil, to a certain extent, can be said to be backed by the Wilson family of the California consortium, and has the support of Abel behind him.

Although he is an outsider, his market in California is also stable.

It can be said that even if the two are re-elected at the end of this year, it will not be a big problem if they want to be re-elected. After all, although he is a member of Congress, he is only a member of the House of Representatives.

A mere member of the House of Representatives is already at the top of the ceiling for many Americans.

But for people like Neil and Alexander, who have Abel behind them, it's just a good starting point.

Now Alexander, suddenly, he heard his son ask himself, if he wanted to change his position.

If it had been a few years ago, he might have said, "If you like it."

At that time, he just embarked on this road, purely to help his son and make his son happy.

Alexander, who has now experienced the taste, is no longer the pure Texas Dixie.

He couldn't help but say, "Didn't you make a deal with Tom and Kerry?" ”

The governor of Texas also has the surname Kerry, but has nothing to do with John Forbes Kerry.

Hearing his father's answer, Abel smiled, he knew that his father was still more or less concerned about the two positions of Texas senator or Texas governor.

However, in Abel's view, these two positions are really nothing. And, to put it mildly, it is difficult for Texas senators and governors to get to the top of the federal ranks.

The reason for this lies in the special historical factors of the Lone Star State.

Because strictly speaking, the Texas governor or senator is the most likely to split off as the president or head of state in the United States.

But it's not so outrageous that it's 100% impossible.

"It doesn't have to be Tom or Kerry's place. Now those two positions for them to sit in make more sense to us. ”

Abel whispered, "Don't be so impatient, my dear father. I actually mean, you should go one step further in the House of Representatives. For example, he became a party whip, or he served as the chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the House of Representatives. ”

After listening to his son's words, Alexander nodded slightly, knowing that this was his son's desire to add some burden to himself.

Old Red Neck was slightly disappointed, after all, it was only a member of the House of Representatives.

There is still a long way to go before the transformation of a senator or a governor.

It's just that this is the son's request, which may involve the son's long-term planning, which is more beneficial to the Smith family.

In addition, Alexander knew very well what he was, and he knew that without his son, he would be difficult to even establish himself here.

So Alexander said with certainty: "You can arrange it, and I will do it." ”

There was a little more chit-talk, around 9 p.m.

Peggy and her grandfather quit, and Able sent them outside.

In the parking lot of the manor, Robert consciously got into the car.

In the dim light, Able took Peggy's hand and walked in the garden.

Compared to the heat of the day, the nights in Washington in June are cool. The evening breeze blows the charming fragrance of night flowers, and the fragrance on Peggy's body makes Abel very intoxicated.

“…… The belly is already so big, will it be convenient at work? I asked Renquist and he said it was okay if you could take a break for a while if necessary. And this period can be very long, and it will not affect your position. ”

As the most powerful position under the nine-member Heavenly Group, the position of chief judge of the Washington Circuit Court cannot be sat by ordinary people.

Only people with strong backgrounds, abilities, and luck can sit in this position.

All three are indispensable.

Peggy shook her head slightly, she hadn't spoken a word to Abel all night, and now she had a chance to talk to him when the two of them were alone.

This intellectual New York girl said softly: "There are indeed some inconveniences, but they can be overcome." I don't feel tired, I love the job. ”

"Hmm." Seeing that she has said this, what else can Abel say. He took her hand, walked around a few more times, and said some warm words.

Then he kissed her goodbye, put her in the car, and watched the Morgenthau family car leave.

Turning back home, Alexander and Emily went to wash up and rest.

Don't think that Alexander is idle in Washington. Their group of congressmen meet at every turn, at least 300 days out of 365 days a year.

There is a lot of work to be done in the meeting, and sometimes there is a need to travel abroad. From time to time, I have to go back to my constituency to consolidate my vote.

It can be said that these members of Congress are busier than the Commander-in-Chief most of the time......

Abel, who had nothing to do for the time being, simply went back to his bedroom with little Laura.

Little Laura is sitting at the dresser and removing her makeup, while the child is in the baby's room next to it, with plenty of nannies and medical staff to take care of her.

Seeing Abel coming back, little Laura sped up the action of removing makeup, and after applying night cream to her face, she took off her nightdress and got into Abel's fiery embrace.

"Tut-tut, I'm finally back. I watched you and her walk several laps below! ”

"Don't talk about that." In the face of his wife's jealous words, Abel directly used the Dafa of diverting attention, "What I discussed with my father just now, now I want to discuss it with you again." ”

"Huh?" Little Laura was surprised, "What does this have to do with me?" ”

"Of course it has something to do with you, because this time I'm going to talk about my other "father", my dear father-in-law, Mr. Neil Bush. ”

"Oh, oh." Little Laura suddenly.

"What's wrong with my dad."

The first thing she thought of was what trouble her father had caused again.

Then again, since she can remember. Her father was very unconscious, and on several occasions he was even reprimanded by his grandfather and uncle in front of her......

Even with Abel's help, he has now become a prominent member of Parliament.

In Washington, he still occasionally makes jokes or stirs up trouble.

Let Uncle George or Abel come out from time to time to end up, so that her daughter, is disgraced many times.

The reason why she can tolerate Abel so much in some ways is that her father's unreliability definitely accounts for a very important part of the factor.

Seeing her reaction, Abel couldn't help but laugh.

"Haha...... Don't think crookedly, Neil is fine this time. What I want to tell you, I'm going to give Neil a try and see if he can become Governor of California this year! ”

"Ahh

Little Laura let out a surprised voice, looking at Abel with beautiful eyes in the bed, looking incredulous.

Abel knew what she was thinking, because making Neil governor of California did sound a bit of a fantasy.

Not to mention his ability and personality, even if it is just his qualifications and origin, it seems impossible to make him the governor of California in the next few years.

"I know what you're thinking, dear. But now there is an opportunity before our eyes. ”

Abel patiently explained.

The current governor of California is Davis, a member of the Donkey Party, who took office in 1998, was re-elected in '02, and is retiring this year.

California law states that governors can only serve two consecutive terms. But after the two terms are over, the others will be re-governors. Those who have been re-elected as governors twice can be re-elected, and whether they can win or not depends on their personal ability.

Davis is a good guy for the first few years. However, after 02 years, because it happened to encounter the bubble crisis, and California was the most seriously injured in the Internet bubble.

Coupled with various wildfires, statewide power shortages, and a weak economy, Davis, the governor, has been seriously questioned in office, and even impeached him in California last year and the year before that.

The Donkey Party was also extremely disappointed in him, because it was under Davis's tenure that caused the election situation in California, a super stable blue state, to fluctuate......

The voters actually have the meaning of reddening, where can the Donkey Party stand this.

For a while, Davis did not get much support within the Donkey Party and in the state.

In desperation, one of the bigwigs within the Donkey Party is also a ruthless person.

He found Abel, contacted George through Abel's factors, and got closer and closer to the Elephant Party.

In the end, he was able to stay in the governorship for another two years, and he will retire at the end of the year.

The "Neil opportunity" in Abel's mouth came from Davis.

He remembered that in a parallel time and space, Schwarzenegger, the elephant party, could become governor of California because Davis was impeached and re-elected.

Now that Davis has not stepped down, Schwarzenegger has no such opportunity.

"Not necessarily won. But you can't go wrong with a try. Roughly explain the ins and outs, Abel finally said to little Laura.

"I promise, if my father knows of your intentions. He's going to be happy. Little Laura figured it out and smiled.

She was also happy, after all, if he really succeeded, his father would be able to go further.

The shrub family can also go to the next level!

Tsk, two commanders and three governors! Such a feat has not even been achieved by the former Addams family, right?

What's more, having a commander and two governors at the same time is unique in the United States!

And it's not the governor of Sankara, a governor of Texas, a governor of Florida, and now there is another governor of California.

That's just one New York governor, if even the governor of New York can be the governor.

That is, all the four major states of the United States are complete, but this kind of thing is just to think about.

In that place in New York State, even if Abel became a snake in New York, he couldn't handle New York State.

As the state with the most money and land snakes in the United States, the situation in New York State is also the most complicated.

"Alright. You tell Neil about this later, so that he can be mentally prepared. On the side of George and Herbert, I'll go and talk to them myself. ”

"When the boring things are over, let's talk about the fun things!"

Abel chuckled and whispered.

Then there was a whispering frolicking, then a whispering sound, and finally only a few cat-like moans were left in the bedroom.

The space of the mansion is large enough, and the two couples who have been reunited for a long time are newlywed. Little Laura has been in a drought for a long time, so naturally she needs to celebrate with Pippi.

What's more, she is now desperate to have a second child, and the battle is naturally unprecedentedly fierce.

So, the next day, when little Laura opened her sleepy eyes and looked out of the curtains, it was still dark night, and instinctively wanted to continue to close her eyes for a while. Glancing at the clock on the wall as she tried to go back to sleep, she sat up abruptly, staring at the time with wide eyes, and she thought her watch had stopped, because it was about the same time as she had welcomed Peggy to her house last night......

It's a fierce battle.

When little Laura had soft legs and weak feet, and quickly washed up, she came out of the room very embarrassed.

She was surprised to hear the servants say that her father and uncle George were guests at the house.

"Oh my God. Lord, this time I am so disgraced to Guadalupe! ”

Guadalupe Peak is located at the southern end of the Guadalupe Mountains at an altitude of 2,667 meters. It is the highest mountain in Texas and part of Guadalupe National Park.

Every Texans have learned this in textbooks, and then for a long time they would have thought that Guadaloupe was the highest peak in the United States......

When she appeared in the living room with a hot face, she saw her father, mother, uncle, and aunt chatting with her husband, father-in-law, and mother-in-law.

His children were running around the living room, followed by a couple of nannies.

If she could, little Laura really didn't want to walk over at this time.

It's just that when she wanted to quietly retreat, she found that her aunt, the first lady, had seen her.

At this time, it is not good to retreat.

Little Laura had no choice but to be numb, walked out, and greeted the elders first. In the witting eyes of the elders, he walked to the vacant seat next to Abel and sat down, glared at Abel fiercely, blaming him for making himself so self-conscious and causing himself to look like this!

Abel shook his backhand, took her hand, and smiled softly at her.

This made little Laura feel at ease, thinking that it didn't matter, it would be good to have him anyway.

Then she heard Abel talking to her uncle, "How could Herbert object? Because I think the probability is really not low, at least more than 50% of the time, Neil can win to become the governor of California. ”

Oppose? Grandfather against?

Little Laura looked at the elders of her mother's family in surprise.
