Marvel’s Princess Chapter 684: Surrender
As soon as he entered the door, Francis Underwood noticed something was wrong with his wife's expression. It was an expression of trying to suppress joy.
“What happened?” he asked.
Claire Underwood still couldn't hold it back and shared her unexpected joy with her husband: "Did you smooth the relationship with the Secretary of State? The supplies for the water purification project that were stuck in Mozambique have been cleared. Foreign affairs there The staff also said that they appreciate the water purification plan and are ready to cooperate more with us! ”
Francis celebrated with his wife, but actually he had a far-fetched relationship outside the United States! Before he went to law school and became a congressman, his family had been growing peaches in South Carolina for generations.
Today, the president is still Benjamin Ashe, and the Secretary of State is all a Republican! What does he have to do with being a Democratic Party whip?
Mozambique? Without looking at the map, he doesn't even know where this country is!
It's so good that no one will be too busy to help. Thinking of his previous experience, he had a new understanding of the forces that Bella secretly controlled.
The next day, as soon as he went to work, he called his loyal staff: "Go and check the information of our popular presidential candidate for me. I want their whole family, especially... Especially the billionaire’s tax certificate, house title, all records, I want all the records!”
He believed in his staff, both in terms of loyalty and ability, and they were all worthy of trust, but this time there was something different.
The staff member nodded and went out. Within two minutes, he walked into his office with a large pile of information.
Francis Underwood looked through the information, and it was indeed the information he requested to investigate, including various records of the Swan family, which can be said to be very detailed.
But this is incredible! I just gave the order and my staff could make these preparations? Is this something that can be done in two minutes?
He thought of certain experiences, his face was so gloomy that he could drip water. He pointed at the half-meter-high document and said: "Don't tell me that you collected all this information in two minutes? ”
The staff member's eyes were a little evasive, and Francis Underwood looked at him carefully.
“Who asked you to collect this information?”
“My father.”
“But I remember you said your father died a long time ago?”
“He got into some trouble when he was younger...and has been hiding out in his hometown in Tennessee all these years.”
Francis Underwood exhaled heavily: "Amazing, really amazing! When did your "father" start asking you to do this collection work?"
“…Nineteen twenty-five last night.”
Francis Underwood did some calculations, and then realized that that was the time he left the bridge pier and ran to the highway to stop the car.
He picked up a copy of Bella's information and flipped through it casually: "This is also the result of your work. Leave it here to look at it."
After the staff left, he did read the information in detail.
He doesn’t believe a word of the information written on it!
Can a billionaire who sells cosmetics, women's clothing and women's shoes pose as a city full of killers? With just one phone call, he found out that his aide's real father had been hidden for many years. Is this an ordinary businessman?
He didn't think Bellarmine's little assets could leverage such a huge amount of energy, and the all-pervasive sense of control nearly suffocated him.
His political wisdom cultivated through fifty years of life experience was of no use when faced with bullets. After locking himself in the office for a whole morning, he chose to surrender. If he did not obey, his life would be in danger. He quit the job. campaign and fully supported Charlie.
Political parties are not monolithic. On the surface, there are two political parties in the United States. In fact, the internal parties are also extremely complex.
MPs have the interests of their voters and the interests of major companies behind them. Many times they do not agree with the interests of the party. At this time, he, the party whip, is needed to coordinate.
When he got home from get off work in the evening, he downloaded fishing tutorials from the Internet and wanted to learn fishing.
Because Charlie likes fishing, in order to gain more voice in front of Charlie, he has strong work ability on the one hand and personal friendship on the other hand. In the past, some presidents liked to play basketball, and some liked to play golf. Whenever there was a change of president, the people below started a new round of skill learning. Be applicable.
In the early morning, he went for a run with his wife.
He must exercise. With Bella's dirty and black threatening methods, he estimates that Charlie has a high chance of winning the election, and re-election is not a problem! Now he can only wait, train his body well, and get through these eight years. Maybe he will still have a chance. Even if he doesn't, he will still have the physical strength to run when someone points a gun at him! Whether you can outrun bullets is one thing, but whether you have the physical strength to run is another.
While running, his wife was confused: "You said before that 'rights are like real estate, location is everything, the closer you are to the center of rights, the more valuable the property is.' Did I remember this wrongly? ”
“You remember correctly, but in many cases there is no need to start a losing war!”
In his spare time, Francis Underwood is also secretly paying attention to the negative news about Charlie's family. I can't compete with you. Seeing you being disgusted by a bunch of clowns makes me feel good!
Sometimes, he would hold a newspaper and analyze it with his staff.
“This guy who threw paint will probably have no hands tomorrow.”
“Huh? This person who kicked in the door is very brave. I bet five dollars that his leg will be broken in an accident tomorrow.”
“Wow, these people actually called that woman a coquettish bitch? Poor, there are going to be a few more nameless corpses in the Potomac River.”
He looked at the heroes who provoked the Swan family in various ways with a look that said, "Everyone is drunk, but I am sober." Not to mention, he really felt a sense of superiority.
As Charlie put his plans in motion and, with the assistance of Mr. Whip, made various preparations for the party's primaries, his political opponents also took action one after another.
To the outside world, this is all a conspiracy of the Republican Party. In fact, everyone knows that this is the "own man" within the Democratic Party.
Everyone wants to go up, but there is only one spot. What should we do when others are ahead? Just pull this guy down!
There are all kinds of methods, including provocative, abusive, sarcastic and sarcastic ones on TV media.
Bella's response is also simple. She can "create" missing persons, one "missing" or ten "missing".
Now that she has obtained her doctorate, she does not plan to work. Apart from taking care of her children at home and occasionally going to Kamal Taj to teach students, she has a lot of time to waste! Come on, let's see when we can fill up the Potomac River!
