Chapter 1564 Confession Bureau(1/2)
During the entire banquet, everyone did not talk about anything serious. Instead, they mostly talked about trivial matters.
For example, a cow named Ellie gave birth to a beautiful calf that was all white but with black hooves. How many rabbits the family’s hounds caught on the pasture, and how these rabbits became the dish on their dining table.
Roasted rabbit.
All in all, if you don't take into account that Fang Chen has a completely different skin color from other people, and can even be called a Chinese with a little red in the green, tonight's meal is just a family dinner.
After dinner, Bush invited Fang Chen to the small living room. The two sat on the sofa and chatted about everything, from ancient times to modern times, from the United States, China to the world, without caring about each other's status or age.
The huge gap between them is completely a scene of chatting and happily forgetting their friendship.
On the contrary, the other two members of the Bush family, George W. Bush and his third brother Jeb Bush, seemed a little embarrassed and even restless.
After these two days of contact, they have been able to confirm that Fang Chen supports the Bush family, and they are even more certain that Fang Chen is a wise, persevering, unique and reliable partner.
But they didn't know how far Fang Chen could support them.
After all, Fang Chen had to make a choice between George W. Bush and Al Gore.
To be honest, at this point, the two of them don't have much confidence. There is no way anyone can make them compare. In comparison, Gore and Fang Chen are more familiar and have a closer relationship.
But the most important thing is that compared with Gore, Bush Jr.'s possibility of winning the presidency is really not that great.
Moreover, in the past few days, they had actually been testing Fang Chen's tone. As a result, Fang Chen had been avoiding this question and his answers were very vague. How could they have confidence?
Therefore, today is already a confessional session with Fang Chen.
Of course, if Fang Chen is ultimately unwilling to support George W. Bush's candidacy for president, although they are a little regretful, it is not really unacceptable.
After all, if Fang Chen doesn't support it, it's common sense. If he supports it, it's strange. The sun rises from the west.
However, they are quite confident that Fang Chen will support them in running for governor next year.
Well, that’s right, next year not only will George W. Bush find a way to be re-elected as the governor of Texas, but Jeb Bush is also preparing to fight for the governorship of Florida again.
Four years ago, when George W. Bush ran for governor of Texas, Jeb Bush also ran. But unfortunately, Bush Jr. succeeded, while Jeb Bush failed.
In other words, the three Bush family men in front of Fang Chen are already all politicians in the Bush family. As for the other two direct men of the Bush family, they are only responsible for the family's oil business.
However, it is worth mentioning that in 2016, Jeb Bush became one of the presidential candidates, ambitiously wanting to become the third U.S. president in the Bush family.
But the helpless thing is that Jeb Bush met the Emperor of Sichuan, so when he competed within the party, he lost completely and completely.
Otherwise, Jeb Bush might really become the third president of the Bush family. After all, when he was the governor of Florida, his approval rate was as high as 55%, which is higher than George W. Bush's 31% approval rate in Texas.
Where to go.
At that time, the Bush family will also surpass the Lincoln family, the Kennedy family, and the Roosevelt family to become the most powerful political family in the United States.
"Fang, it's a pity that I am no longer the president of the United States, otherwise I would definitely take you to eat Chinese food at the Yanjing Hotel in Virginia, a suburb of Washington. Based on my experience of living in Yanjing for more than a year and visiting many times,
I can guarantee that the Yanjing Roast Duck served in this Yanjing Hotel is not any worse than the Yanjing Roast Duck served in Yanjing City."
"At that time, I often took little George, Jeb, Barbara and other family members out for dinner to express my longing for China and Chinese food. And because I often ordered Yanjing roast duck, salt and pepper prawns,
There are five dishes: Yanjing style lamb chops, dry-roasted shredded beef, and dry-roasted green beans. So the people at Yanjing Hotel made these five dishes into the Bush menu. If you go there, just say Bush menu and they will
Bring these dishes to you."
While reminiscing about his happy time at Yanjing Hotel, Bush Sr. watched Fang Chen's every move with his eyes.
He believed that Fang Chen had definitely understood the signal he gave. Whether Fang Chen was willing to help and to what extent he was willing to support would depend on Fang Chen's next statement.
Hearing this, Fang Chen smiled. In his previous life, he had heard of the "Bush Menu". It was said that Bush took his family to the Yanjing Hotel more than 120 times.
Taking into account that Bush Sr. served as vice president for eight years and president for four years, he spent a total of twelve years in Washington.
That also means that Bush Sr. goes to Yanjing Hotel on average once a month. It seems that Bush Sr. really loves Chinese cuisine and Yanjing Roast Duck.
"George, I think what you said is wrong. Although you can't take me there, I believe that little George will take me there."
Fang Chen pointed at George W. Bush and said with a smile.
Hearing this, the three members of the Bush family couldn't help but be stunned, and the faces of George W. Bush and Jeb Bush showed deep expressions of ecstasy.
They were not fools, so how could they not understand the underlying meaning of Fang Chen's words? Fang Chen's words were clearly supporting George W. Bush's candidacy for president and believed that George W. Bush could become the president.
No, this is nonsense. If Fang Chen didn’t think George W. Bush could become president, why would he support George W. Bush’s candidacy for president?
To be honest, I don’t know if they were stunned by this sudden surprise. George W. Bush and Jeb Bush felt really dizzy and unable to control themselves at this time.
He even had deep doubts about himself. What good could he, George W. Bush, do that would make Fang Chen give up supporting Gore and become so optimistic about himself?
"After contacting George Jr. in the past few days, I can already confirm that George Jr. can become an outstanding, responsible and capable president of the United States, not just a governor."
Having already talked about this, Fang Chen simply opened the skylight and spoke frankly.
To put it bluntly, if it weren't for the fact that George W. Bush became president, he would have nothing to do, stay here for two days, and meet so many smiling faces?
Since we want to achieve the success of our support, why not be decisive, resolute, and proactive?
Moreover, after spending the past few days with George W. Bush, he felt that George W. Bush was okay, even to put it mildly, a little silly. At least compared to his last two terms, Oguan Hai and Trump, he was really cute.
Much.
In other words, he had to bite a little George, which made him scream a little awkwardly.
To be honest, he was still a little uncomfortable facing a person who was more than twice his age and always looked like a little George.
But there is no way, who made George W. Bush's name the same as his own father, and since he is called George W. Bush, he can only be called George W. Bush, George W. Bush.
Anyway, no matter what, the word "little" Bush cannot escape.
But to be honest, after two days of calling him, he was almost used to it.
"Thank you. To be honest, Fang, I suddenly have three points more confidence in George Jr. becoming the president of the United States."
Bush Sr. said with sincerity.
Of course, the true thoughts in his heart may not be exactly the same as what is shown on his face, but the true meaning of the three points is still there.
After all, for him, and even for the entire Bush family, they actually don't have much confidence in George W. Bush becoming president. Even in trying to win Fang Chen's support, their confidence is basically zero.
But there is no other way. Letting George W. Bush run for president is already the path the Bush family has to take.
His unexpected defeat five years ago completely disrupted his entire plan for the Bush family.
He was originally planning to appoint the two Bush brothers to hold some important positions in the White House, so that the world could see the talents and abilities of the two Bush brothers.
If possible, he wanted at least one of the two brothers to become a senator and enter the real upper political circles of the United States.
By becoming a senator, the Bush family's political foundation in the United States can be preserved, and it will help the next generation to continue to engage in politics.
And he will also find ways to use his Republican Party's prestige and power to make one of these brothers the vice president.
In this case, all his power in American politics will be completely taken over by the Bush brothers.
However, after losing to Clinton that time, all plans came to nothing.
This is also the reason why in 1994, the year after he failed to be re-elected, he hurriedly asked George W. Bush and others to run for governor, and both of them were elected at once.
There is no way, if they don't run for governor, then the Bush family will be completely out of the political arena. Although this is not a disaster for the Bush family, it is definitely a huge blow to the family's strength.
But fortunately, George W. Bush became the governor of Texas. At least now, the Bush family's strength in Texas can be maintained.
But if he wants to continue the glory of the Bush family, this is not enough. He must at least become a senator, or he must become the president in one step.
And since the two Texas senators are both members of other important Texas families, it seems that George W. Bush can only take the path of attacking the president.
Even if he really can't win the election, as long as everyone sees George W. Bush and a considerable number of Republican supporters can support him, that's fine.
Moreover, George W. Bush is now fifty-one years old, and time is no longer on his side. It is impossible to tolerate him continuing to amble around in the political arena. When he is over sixty years old, he is still trying to get a senator or a job.
Important positions in the White House and the like.
However, Bush Jr. is not all disadvantaged. As the governor of Texas, he still has some advantages.
Texas is the second largest state in the United States and the largest Republican vote base. It has been a staunch supporter of the Republican Party since Lincoln.
Within the Republican Party, there has always been a saying that if you win Texas, you will win the world. It can be said that if you can win the support of Texas, you will have a great chance of winning the election within the party and representing the Republican Party and the Democratic Party in the final decisive battle.
And we also need to know that according to the rules of the American party, once Bush can defeat Gore, he will automatically become the chairman of the Republican Party.
Since they want to win the final victory and become president, they have to start preparing and planning from now on, at least to allow George W. Bush to continue to serve as governor in next year's gubernatorial election.
Once the governor loses the election, everything will stop.
This is also the reason why they gathered all the forces and supporters of the Bush family so early.
"No, George, you should have full confidence in you and George Jr.. I am optimistic that George Jr. can become president, so I choose to support him."
To everyone's surprise, Fang Chen waved his hand and said firmly.
For a moment, not to mention the Bush brothers, even Bush Sr. didn't know what to say at this time. They themselves were a little confused as to where Fang Chen's confidence came from. Anyway, they themselves were not that big.
of confidence.
"Okay, Fang, no matter what happens in the future, whether George Jr. loses or wins, you will always be the best friend of the Bush family."
Bush looked very touched, stood up and took the initiative to hug Fang Chen.
George W. Bush and Jeb Bush also stood up and hugged Fang Chen.
For a moment, Fang Chen suddenly felt like he was participating in some kind of religious initiation ceremony.
