America started its counterattack from the bum

Chapter 447 I will give you all my loyalty!

The Willard InterContinental Hotel is not very well-known, but it is actually a special place similar to some state guesthouses.

Located near the White House, it has a very long history and has hosted countless foreign dignitaries.

As one of the most famous hotels in the political center of the empire, many well-known events that changed America and even the world have taken place here.

For example, Professor Jin’s famous speech “I Have a Dream” was written here.

To date, the hotel still has four presidential suites named after American presidents: Washington, Adams, Lincoln, and Jefferson - the only real presidential suite in the world.

Neither Temir nor Mr. Cheng have purchased any assets in Washington. After all, they are a new power group, and their foundation is far inferior to that of the Karamakris family where Temir came from.

Therefore, Mi'er had to choose the Adams Suite as the place to meet Mike Pompeo - not because the Washington suite was unaffordable, but because there was a state guest living in Washington who would meet the President tomorrow.

The Secretary of State's security team stayed outside the hotel. The security level of this hotel is not much worse than that of the White House. The only difference is that the service attitude of the hotel staff is much better than those in the White House.

As soon as Mike Pompeo entered the lobby, a manager who had been waiting in advance met him and took the Secretary of State straight to the top floor from a separate elevator.

In the public area that combines winding corridors and tea breaks, Mike Pompeo also met the entourage of the state guests living here - their team thought that the US Secretary of State was coming to meet their leader.

I have to say that this kind of visit that was not well coordinated is a big trouble, a huge, invincible, and dizzying big trouble.

"Dear Secretary of State, I'm sorry that I didn't receive advance notice of your meeting with our Prime Minister. This..."

Under the premise that the US Secretary of State cannot make mistakes, Mike Pompeo has put a lot of pressure on these poor foreign friends.

Mike Pong answered with a helpless smile.

"No, no, I'm here to meet other people, don't take it too seriously, just relax - you're welcome to America."

As he spoke, he walked to the door of Adams' suite under the guidance of his equally stressed-out manager.

Mi'er's bodyguard invited the Secretary of State into the room. In the magnificent hall, Mi'er was chatting with Kevin, a well-known American congressman from the Elephant Party.

Noticing Mike Pong's arrival, Kevin stood up quickly and indicated that he had to leave because of something urgent.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Temir. I might not be here today. I have an event that I can't postpone. I'm very sorry."

The black-haired wealthy woman smiled and nodded, indicating that she understood.

Before leaving, McCarthy smiled at Mike Pompeo and didn't say much.

The Secretary of State's heart was tense. He was shaken by the overly beautiful Mi'er, but when he thought about the background of the woman opposite him, his heart was like being pressed down by the Five Finger Mountain and could not be shaken at all.

"Ha, I didn't expect you knew Kevin." The Secretary of State made some polite remarks for the sake of conversation.

"What do you think of him?"

Temir glanced at the Secretary of State with a scrutinizing look and asked.

It seemed like a screening, it seemed like a test, and it was extremely impolite to ask questions in a superior's manner, but the Secretary of State himself thought it was natural.

If a capitalist like Themir, who comes from a wealthy family and has countless assets, cannot enjoy privileges after participating in American politics, is America still a capitalist country?
If the only criterion for judgment is money, there are many people who are richer than Temir.

But Temir took down the California Elephant Party. This is not outdated news in the Elephant Party. If the outdated and useless Elephant Party can have a real-time "ranking list of the new generation of geniuses in the party", then some people in California on the west coast may dominate the list.

The first brother on the list is Wolf, and the second sister is Temir. One is the financier and a player participating in the game, and the other is the financier and the boss behind the game.

In the largest and most developed deep blue state in the United States, it is impressive that Honey and Wolf have revived the California Elephant Party.

From here, we can also see how precise Cheng's moves are.

The combination of Wolf + Temir has money, people and resources. It is already very transcendent in the Elephant Party and can form the basis of a long-term and stable alliance.

As a new establishment member of the Elephant Party, the California Elephant Party was established. No matter how high the expected upper limit could be, the lower limit had already been locked.

On this basis, President Cheng's choice is to get close to the powerful faction of the Donald Trump Party in the state, so as to make the struggle situation controllable, and to push Wolfe to take down the second daughter of the President outside the state, giving his faction ceiling a shot in the arm.

All the seemingly unrelated arrangements actually have the same demands behind them.

The reason for winning over Mike Pence was the need of the new faction to have its own spokesperson in Washington. Of course, in helping President Cheng build cars and helping to win over the President's second daughter, Mike Pence's presence actually had some sense of a masterstroke.

A person's value often does not depend solely on himself.

It is a fact that Mike Pompeo, who is trapped in the position of Secretary of State, can only exercise his power as Secretary of State in his wife's bed and regain his pitiful dignity in front of his wife.

But if he has the support of President Cheng and Themir, his power will be backed up at certain times and he can use it more unscrupulously and play a greater role - this is also a fact.

Sacrificing oneself for the country, such an idiot cannot sit in the position of Secretary of State in the current American political environment. The wonderful moments of the murderer who remained calm and talked nonsense at the hearing have been played millions and tens of millions of times on Bilibili - this is the main ending for the US Secretary of State.

The interests of the system and the interests of individuals within the system are two different things. Especially when a system does not reward the righteous, this conflict of interests becomes particularly prominent and will affect the decision-making of participants in all aspects.

For example, how did the President of the United States go from being an autocratic leader to a statue trapped in the White House?
For example, how did the American bureaucrats sideline the Secretary of State?
For example, how did the so-called deep government gradually govern the United States to the point of overall dysfunction?

If we look into it more closely, we will go deeper into the game between economic power and political power and into the limitations of capitalism itself - Marx is truly great.

There are no winners in the death spiral of capitalism. On a large enough scale, every player in the game must abide by the rules, which is essentially a zero-sum game.

So, how would you answer?
Mier looked at the nervous Mike Pong, waiting for his answer to the test.

“Kevin is a good person. He has high expectations for his future, which makes him look like a self-disciplined warrior. He and I worked together on Capitol Hill for a long time and I was deeply impressed by him.

Soldiers tend to become obsessed with specific battles. Once they become addicted to them, they forget why they are fighting and eventually lose their direction.

But there is no doubt that Kevin has done a lot of very critical work, and people like him are what we need - bipartisan cooperation requires people who are willing to sacrifice their own political positions to promote it."

The black-haired rich woman nodded. Mike Pompeo almost pointed out all the characteristics of politicians like Kevin.

The fighting spirit is overflowing, and one can always try his best to achieve the goal.

Less principled, but good at cross-party cooperation.

But it is also indispensable. We can't always fight to the end. At certain critical moments, someone needs to be the 'closer'.

Kevin McCarthy is the pinnacle of traditional politicians. In an era when the two parties needed to cooperate, he rose to prominence as a congressman from the Elephant Party with his outstanding ability to cooperate across party lines.

Later, he became the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives for a time. However, in the future when contradictions intensify and struggles become extreme, this kind of "middleman" who pleases both sides has lost the value of his existence.

This is also the reason why President Cheng is determined to use Kevin McCarthy as a first step to give the California Elephant Party a little organizational deterrence.

Buddy, you will cool down sooner or later, why don’t you cool down earlier?

Boss Cao’s value is still rising - Bao, I want to discuss something with you and I’d like to borrow your head!
Oh, you don't agree?

Don't worry, I will take care of your wife! "Have you thought about what you are going to do after this term ends?"

For Mike Pom, this question from Temir is the most clear expression of his attitude.

The Secretary of State of the United States holds one of the few key positions in the political hierarchy—the Empire’s Foreign Minister!

Many candidates for president and even some presidents have served as secretaries of state!
But Mike Pompeo obviously knows that he doesn't have that ability.

He is a Capitol Hill politician who was brought up by financial backers. He has no base of his own and no political power of his own. This is the problem.

"Ms. Temir, you know, I used to be a member of parliament. In fact, I have the foundation for politics."

Mike Pong's breathing was a little nervous, but his speech was still very organized, or rather, very interesting.

There is a foundation, but it is just a foundation.

The black-haired wealthy woman hesitated for a moment, and the suite fell into a suffocating silence.

Mike Pom was waiting and Temir was thinking.

After a long time, she finally spoke.

"What did the Koch brothers promise you?"

Mike Pong replied somewhat uneasily.

“I’m not one of them”

"What?" Temir asked in surprise.

"Otherwise I wouldn't be able to sit in the position of Secretary of State." The Secretary of State replied somewhat ashamedly.

The US Secretary of State is nominated by the President. Mike Pompeo is the product of compromise between the establishment and the President. He is not establishment enough and has nothing to do with MAGA, but he is "obedient" enough.

His orders cannot even leave the United States State House (this name is not quite right, but to prevent censorship, it can only be written this way). The time when he is most like the Secretary of State is when he is in the bed of a prostitute!
"I am planning to build a new university. Some old colleges will be merged into it. The campus will be located in San Lodo. Mike, if you are willing, you can become the president of this university after you retire."

What is Qinggui?

The university president is almost the pinnacle of noble professions available. The promise made by Temir is not only tempting, it is simply succubus-level!
Don’t think that there are no so-called nobles in the Western United States. The bureaucratic system and politicians may not be interested in academic bigwigs, but they are university presidents!
However, the fact that the Secretary of State could become a senator and the choice of the Democratic Party after compromise shows that he is an extraordinary person.

Faced with the cake given by Mi'er, Mike Peng did not lose his personality. He lowered his head and said earnestly.

"Ms. Temir, I believe your university will become a great school, but in terms of personal development, I think I would still like to contribute to America."

Sister, although you are three years younger than me, I still call you sister.

Please give me a chance, I really want to improve.

“Why didn’t you talk to the Koch brothers?”

Koch Industries is the largest non-listed industrial group in the United States. It is a major financial sponsor of the Communist Party, spending hundreds of millions of dollars every year.

Kevin and Mike both took their money - Mr. President didn't!

The President even visited him personally during his campaign, but he didn't get anything.

“They agreed with me, but Koch Industries’ investment was a diversification, you know.”

Mike Pompeo is betting!
Life is a rare opportunity to fight, and he already knew about the turmoil in the California Elephant Party.

Yes, storm.

The California Elephant Party led by Wolf and Temir does not welcome Kevin McCarthy, and this incident has already caused a stir within the Elephant Party.

Within the Democratic Party, the California Gang and Black Satan, who appear to be united but are actually at odds, can fight to the point of pulling each other's hair behind their backs.

Could it be that the Elephant Party is a monolithic entity?

Stop it!
MAGA and the establishment are just short of sending people to kill each other!
Mike Pompeo is gambling on the future of Temir, a group of new local powerful factions of the Elephant Party!
"Mike, there is no way you can win the presidential election. There is no chance!"

The black-haired rich woman gave Mr. Cheng’s judgment, and she believed in Mr. Cheng very much.

Unfortunately, the truth was so cruel that the Secretary of State looked upset.

“But I can give you a different future. The Donkey Party on the West Coast will eventually recede. Wolfe and I are investing heavily now in order to get opportunities in the next era.

We are young enough, your kids are young enough, we have a chance to be friends, right? "

The mutual transformation of contradictions sounds like an abstract concept, but it is an extremely cruel truth.

No matter how lofty your ambitions are, the contradiction is there, steadily and continuously developing towards the boundary of transformation.

Specifically in Themir's logic, it points out the inevitability of changes in political thoughts and people's ideology.

Because they are young enough, she and Wolfe do have the opportunity to see their choices bear fruit!

As soon as the black-haired rich woman said this, Mike Pong became visibly excited.

That was probably the most extraordinary promise that Temir had made.

Believe it or not, it is a difficult decision.

"What do you want me to do, Lady Temir?"

The dark-haired rich woman smiled, but her true colors were finally revealed.

“Become a university president in the future, use your influence — you’ve been secretary of state, be involved in shaping the agenda.

Building our own business out of California, on the West Coast, should be a very fulfilling job, right, Mike?"

Now, the Secretary of State finally understands the ambitions of the California Elephant Party leader.

Temir and Wolf do not belong to any faction. They are independent and intend to build their own empire!

"Ma'am, I will give you all my loyalty. If you don't mind my shallow wisdom, I will use all my wisdom to serve you!"

shit!

Temir does not need loyalty, and Cheng Zong never expects loyalty - just like Achilles does not care whether his subordinates are loyal or not.

"Okay, Mike, now you can join our business." Mier said.

She came to Washington this time not to listen to the nonsense of old guys like Mike Pompeo, but because she needed him to do something!
