The expressions of Dahlavi and Alberto, father and son, and Martha remained unchanged and remained silent, but Coren showed a very helpless expression, obviously, it was not the first time that Duke Anville had said this! It can be heard that the old man attaches great importance to the deceased second daughter-in-law.

Li Junhao couldn't substitute for the feelings of his predecessor, and he didn't know what to say at this time, so he could only remain silent.

"Father, Liberth has been dead for many years, Pamela and I have been married for more than twenty years, and Jusley is about to turn eighteen, can you not say such things?" ”

"Can't!" The old man glared, "If it weren't for your insistence on remarrying, how could Ogy have been away from home for so long?" ”

"Well, it's all my fault!" Seeing that the old man was a little angry, Coren could only say.

"Father, now that Ogy has returned, don't be angry anymore!" Then Martha spoke, "We're all back, didn't you say you had something to say?" ”

In fact, at this time, everyone was carefully observing Li Junhao's expression, they all knew how short-tempered Auge was when he was a teenager, and because of this, he was even more surprised by Li Junhao's current calm performance, of course, he would not suspect that Og's soul had changed, but sighed: As he grew older, Little Auge was really sensible!

Li Junhao was a little speechless - he had already seen that this family was acting! The old man is the director, and the others are actors, so he should be testing whether he still holds a grudge against his father Cologne, and thus is still resisting the family?

Well, he was not ready to debunk this drama, because he confirmed from the detection radar: this family is all blue teammates, and they are definitely real relatives!

Seeing that Li Junhao was silent, looking at them as if he was paying attention to the mentally handicapped group, several elders and that cousin all had the feeling of being seen through......

At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the door of the study, and then the butler Willis walked in with a tray, bringing black tea to the old duke and Li Junhao, and coffee to the others—this butler was really attentive and caring!

Li Junhao sighed in his heart, it seems that he also needs an authentic British butler, I wonder if Willis has a good introduction?

The conversation that followed was surprisingly harmonious and warm, and the elderly Duke of Anville basically did not speak again, but was explained by the eldest son of the second generation, Dalevy, who was obviously already aware of the contents, and these words were specially addressed to Li Junhao.

According to the internal tradition of the Stuart family, all direct children will be allowed to enter the core of the family and participate in the highest decision-making of the family when they are 30 years old.

There are three issues on the agenda today: First, the second-generation eldest son, Dalevy, who is a veteran senator from Massachusetts and has reached the post of Senate minority (Republican) whip next month, must decide whether to change policy direction.

Second, the third-generation eldest son, Alberto, is now a member of the New Hampshire House of Representatives and will face a third term (two years each) in the second half of the year, and the family needs to guarantee his re-election.

Both father and son are Republicans, and they represent the "conservative tendencies" of the Stuart family to the outside world, and they are both playing very good roles so far.

Third, now that the military has reached a new level, he is in charge of a million-dollar army, and he has a good relationship with Democratic President Roosevelt.

In terms of politics, the second son of the family, Cologne, has not achieved much, he has been in charge of the business part of the family since he was young, and although he joined the Democratic Party at an early age, his influence in political circles is not high. However, it manages tens of billions of dollars in business assets, both publicly and privately, and is another leg of the family's steady progress.

Her husband Joshua Hoover entered politics early under the influence of her father (Herbert Hoover, the 31st president of the United States - 1929-1933), and was later elected Senator of Maine with the support of the Stuart family and other forces.

To be honest, the current situation of the family is somewhat unexpected by Li Junhao - the family's economic strength is strong, and its political status is also extremely high, the uncle is seeking the minority whip of the Senate, the cousin has been a member of the House of Representatives for two terms, and his uncle is also a senator, and I believe that he will soon be able to enter the most important joint defense committee of the Congress!

The "father" Coren is in charge of huge wealth, but he is a Democrat himself, unlike his uncle and uncle, who are both Republicans, and he is obviously implementing the "two legs, two roads" policy planned by the family!

Li Junhao had some thoughts of wanting to avoid suspicion at this time, his current status as the commander of the Marine Corps was too sensitive in this situation - he was in charge of a million troops, and his family was huge, but he was supporting the opposition party!

Worried about him, Duke Anville waved his hand indifferently and taught him personally: The political model of the United States seems to be that the conservative Republican Party and the progressive Democratic Party compete with each other to compete for the leadership of the government every four years, but in fact, the inside has not changed at all, that is, to develop and stabilize the United States, so that the United States will be the boss of the future world and become the only leading country in the world! In this premise, everything else is just a means.

Subsequently, the duke said: In the past, the family side invested more resources on the side of the Republican Party, not only for practical needs, but also to ensure the ascension of Dahlavi and his sons, and Joshua Hoover, because this is in line with the family tradition and consistent external image. However, the situation has changed now......

As the third generation of the family, Auger moved from diplomacy to the military, and achieved extremely amazing results, and even recently became the commander of the third major service! Although he has not joined any political party at present, he was promoted and reused during the term of Democratic President Roosevelt, and the relationship between the two is very good.

Hearing the constant advice of his family elders allowed him to strengthen his personal relationship with Roosevelt, improve his standing in military and political circles, and even speculate that after a few years the war ended, he would retire from active service, join a political party, elect a senator, and run for president a few years later...... Li Junhao's head was a little big, and he hurriedly stopped!
