Chapter 436: The Empire Needs My Stomach

Old Versailles now! Allen Wilson chanted this in his heart and lowered his voice, “Isn’t it aggravating for you to sleep with me.”

Pamela Mountbatten just wanted to tease her fiancé, and Allen Wilson’s pair of scrutinizing eyes met, her heart burst, “No, don’t look like that, it’s weirdly scary. I was wrong!”

“Don’t dare!” Alan Wilson grunted and said with his hands in his pockets, “How dare I talk to a nobleman like that.”

“Such a big man, don’t be so petty, let me be.” Pamela Mountbatten, with tears in her eyes, tugged at the man’s coat, apologizing for the slip of the tongue she had just made.

“There you are, am I interrupting?” Smith Hammer smilingly walked over to greet him, “Honorable consul, consul’s wife, there is a more important guest at today’s reception, the Kennedy family’s child has just returned from college, he is a very introverted person, but equally interested in politics, I wonder if the consul would like to talk to him?”

In college? Should not be the one who is the president, Allen Wilson nodded his head and expressed his great desire to get to know the elites coming out of the American university, Smith Hammer guffawed and smiled, happy that he had helped Robert Kennedy to expand his network.

The Kennedy family had already gained a firm foothold before World War I. The old Kennedy had already earned a profit of five million dollars through trade before World War I. In the twenties, he invested in the movie industry, doubling the family’s assets. He became a partner with President Roosevelt in the thirties. Only to step into the Treasury Secretary, following the Mellon family’s path to fortune did not go well, and finally disappeared from the political arena.

But for the cultivation of his son, the old Kennedy is very willing to put in the effort, do the same thing, the right to have the power to be able to increase exposure, he has high hopes for several sons, has become a member of the House of Representatives of the John F. Kennedy is his most pleased with the work.

Compared with his brother, who had already made a name for himself, Robert Kennedy appeared unimpressive, and at this time he had just returned home to prepare for his graduation ceremony from Harvard next month.

Alan Wilson didn’t expect to meet the U.S. Attorney General a dozen years later before he even met McCarthy.

Under the introduction of Smith Hammer, the two men climbed up, Robert Kennedy has no long-term plan for the future yet, and specified this in the casual conversation with Allen Wilson.

“Of course it’s to go into politics, I know something about your family.” Allen Wilson actually understands how the Kennedy family made its fortune, from Kennedy’s growth trajectory can be clearly seen, the old Kennedy spent much effort, as many fathers who look forward to their sons, wanting to make their sons realize their unrealized dreams.

“My brother John is now a Congressman, and my father was very pleased that I thought I could choose another path.” Robert Kennedy mentioned his brother John Kennedy with pride, “Compared to my brother, I am much more mediocre.”

“Oh, Robert, how could you have such thoughts, everyone is the protagonist in their own life, and at the same time the supporting role in the eyes of others, we have to find the value of our own survival.” Alan Wilson smilingly opened his mouth to correct, “no one will cover up the light of others, especially your kind of family is more so.”

Alan Wilson scrupulously gentlemanly, in front of the U.S. Attorney General who was still in the midst of growing up, played the effect of a mentor and a friend, illuminating the other party’s path forward.

“If I have time next month, I’ll make a trip to Harvard to see my new friend graduate then.”

Half an hour later, Alan Wilson and Robert Kennedy had already become sort of acquainted with each other, holding wine glasses and chatting in the middle of the reception. For some of Robert Kennedy’s some questions, also with the abundant key political reserves to answer.

Of course, his eyes never left his fiancée’s body, as we all know, the Anglo-American circle is quite chaotic, everyone wants to do Cao Chancellor, but also to prevent their own side of the emergence of Cao Chancellor.

Pamela Mountbatten understands her fiancé’s needs very well, and poor Pamela, who was controlled by ill-motivated British Indian bureaucrats at the beginning of her love affair, and to this day has always been played for a fool, has always been convinced that loyalty is the best way to keep a man on a leash.

While her fiancé pulls Robert Kennedy, she pulls Ethel, Kennedy’s girlfriend, and explains some of the etiquette of the British aristocracy to Ethel; people are curious, and Ethel is no exception to this curiosity about the aristocracy.

In short, after this reception, Alan Wilson is considered preliminary and the members of the Kennedy family, to establish a certain degree of friendship, but also verbally promised to go to Harvard University next month, to participate in the graduation ceremony of Robert F. Kennedy.

At the same time for Robert Kennedy mouth brother, also said that if there is time, must recognize recognize.

Returning to the consulate to get McCarthy’s official itinerary from Wick, Allen Wilson determined to go to Chicago to have an unscheduled meeting, Pamela Mountbatten came over to inquire, “I heard that this man is rather rude, do you need my help?”

“Rude people are better treated by me. Aren’t you supposed to go around with that girlfriend of Robert’s, Ethel? Just leave this matter to me.” Alan Wilson kissed his fiancée’s cheek lightly and said, “People who like to drink, I just need to show sincerity and it should be easier to build a friendship than Robert Kennedy.”

The senator who was drunk every day, if true, the preparation Allen Wilson had to do now was simple as hell, just take out a few days to get drunk with the other side.

It is not necessary to build up an unbreakable relationship, drinking friends drinking is the fastest way to establish friendship.

“You’ve got to keep it under control, don’t get yourself in trouble for the sake of diplomacy.” Pamela Mountbatten heard McCarthy this person’s hobbies, the heart is also quite displeased, but the moment he heard Allen Wilson’s approach is actually to think from the drinking, then his face is a little worried, he knows very well Allen Wilson’s drinking capacity, obviously not good, the mouth is also never convinced.

“The Empire needs my stomach, my dear, and at my age I shouldn’t have to put my life on the line.” Allen Wilson decided to take Wick with him to Chicago, he had already defaulted in his mind that McCarthy’s drinking should be high, and it was a little more reassuring to take an assistant.

Alan Wilson felt that the purpose of his trip was no less than a diplomatic action that would live in infamy in the history of the British Empire.

In this thinning era, the role of other British diplomats is just to figure a fun, really want to bring back the glory days, but also need him Allen Wilson personally.

Really in McCarthy has not yet made a fortune, to establish a close friendship, wait until the Republican Party after the defeat began to bite, he can exert influence on McCarthy.

Currently this time, the British military force is certainly not, even if the country to maintain the Royal Navy, but also can not catch up with the United States Navy’s expansion rate, because the Navy this stockpile of soldiers, catching up is the most difficult of all the soldiers, in front of a variety of parameters of the warships, the weak doubled and the weak one hundred times is no difference at all.

The 70% theory of the Japanese combined fleet that have been the bottom line, in fact, in terms of the navy as a military species, 70% are not enough. Because of the warship construction cycle is too long, to the backward side is very unfriendly.

Now even the most rely on the Royal Navy is not the United States of America’s rivals, can only retreat from the second soft power to think of ways.

McCarthy eventually kicked the iron plate military only to fall, as McCarthy’s soon-to-be friend, Allen Wilson has a greater influence, and the cost of a lower opponent, such as the United States Tongsu’s home base of Hollywood, used to kneeling and swinging intellectual class, these are in line with the style of the treatment of the weak and small heavy-handed attack.

A few days later, Alan Wilson had slipped unnoticed to Chicago, the site of McCarthy’s electioneering speech. And he sat down to listen to McCarthy’s big speech.

As a politician, McCarthy’s eloquence is absolutely over the top, this year’s forty-year-old McCarthy, if it is not because of serious alcoholism, can become the Republican Party’s star of tomorrow.

Watching McCarthy’s mouth gushing, elaborating on the vision of the Republican Party in power, would never have thought that he would leave that kind of impression in history, in fact, watching the current McCarthy, rich in enthusiasm, the voice of the speech is also quite magnetic, Alan Wilson believes that many people in the population of the McCarthy is indeed a good person, just drink do not know moderation.

At the end of the speech, McCarthy shouted a couple of slogans in favor of the Republican candidate.

“Consul, what’s the matter with you?” Wick inquired with a concerned look on his face when he saw his top lieutenant skulking.

“Nothing!” Alan Wilson thought McCarthy’s electioneering slogan rather unimaginative, and of all the campaign slogans he’d heard, the one that had left the deepest impression was, without a doubt, Make America Great Again.

The conversation between the two men was drowned out by the cheers in the room, and at this time Wicker disappeared for a few moments, returning again to indicate that everything had been arranged.

After the speech was over, the unanticipated meeting between Allen Wilson and McCarthy began, “I didn’t expect Consul Allen, to show up in the middle of such a small venue and come over to listen to my speech.”

“This is also in the United States, domestically I wouldn’t dare to appear in such an occasion, to strictly adhere to political neutrality.” Allen Wilson said with a bright smile, “Usually at that time, I sit next to the radio and pour myself a glass of whiskey.”

“Oh, does Consul Allen have a hobby like that?” McCarthy was struck directly in the positive, and a flush of goodwill rose.

“Of course, no one understands the benefits of whiskey better than I do.” Alan Wilson’s face was intoxicated, his chest was full of the British Empire’s sense of mission, “I also have a good bottle of wine in my collection, but I am bitter that there is no one to share it with, that’s why I carry it around, as you know, as a consul, the consulate is the equivalent of a prison for me.”

“Honorable Congressman!” The aide next to McCarthy spoke up, the reminder failed, the aide who knew McCarthy’s nature did his duty, but the warning was still ignored.
