It seems outrageous to dispatch the president, but it seems that there is only one way to do it right now.

He even considered launching layers of relations to find the UN Secretary-General and let him come forward.

In theory, this is much more convenient than dispatching the president.

But he has common sense at least. For small countries, the United Nations is a great Bodhisattva.

But for permanent members with nuclear weapons, the Secretary-General of the United Nations is just a mascot.

...

But things have to be done.

He had no choice but to call Elena and ask her to help determine David Hill's itinerary.

The congressman is very busy and most of his time is in Washington. When he returns to his constituency, he has to deal with major local forces and groups. He can't see anyone without making an appointment.

Fortunately, I was lucky. Today, Mr. David was working in New York. Everyone can have a cup of coffee together in the afternoon.

...

In the quiet cafe, David Hill listened quietly to him roughly repeating Solomon's words.

Then a helpless smile appeared on his face...

"Solomon,...it's really..." David Hill scratched his head rarely.

For an elite politician, there are special people to train and manage his words and deeds, and his strictness is even greater than that of Hollywood stars.

The movement of scratching the head symbolizes weakness and is not allowed to appear most of the time.

"So, I can only come to you. I have to say that although I feel like I am being treated as a pistol directed at you by Solomon, the pistol also has its own ideas, and this is indeed the most likely way to achieve it."

"Let the US President endorse a Soviet Jew who is not a relative or accustomed? Announce to the whole world that he is not a spy for Cia?" David Hill was still a little unacceptable.

"By the way, Solomon asked me to pass on you a word."

"What?"

"Don't hide behind Monroeism to pretend that the world is normal, times have changed, sir!"

"Oh God..." David Hill was almost moaning.

"You must be the army so weak..." Someone was roaring speechlessly.

He didn't understand that people all over the world were calling the Republican Party a war dealer who interfered in other people's internal affairs everywhere, but after a long time of work, David Hill was obviously not as energetic as Solomon...

"Okay." David Hill thought for a long time, and obviously sorted out the twists and turns inside.

"It's better to go to the White House than to walk in bureaucratic yamen like the State Council or CIA..." David Hill murmured.

"That's it," David said. "I'll find a way to contact a few powerful people who can exert a significant influence on our president. Then, I'll let them meet you, and then you will be on your way to convince them."

"Okay," Edward nodded, "I will do my best. If it's okay, I'll leave first. I don't have enough time. At least, I'll prepare a memo first."

...

David Hill is indeed very powerful. Three days later, Edward received a notice to go to the White House tomorrow.

It’s already spring, and cherry trees are blooming everywhere in Washington, DC.

This made someone sitting in the car think deeply, "You and I are the same cherry blossoms as the same period, and the courtyard of the same military school is open,

If you realize that flowers bloom and fade, the beautiful flowers fade for the country.

You and I are the same cherry blossoms as you and I, and the courtyard of the same military school is open,"

"Tsk, it's obviously in Washington, why does the song with Showa flavor appear so naturally in my mind? It seems something is wrong..."

After passing the guard post at the door, he followed David Hill into an office on the west side.

"This is John D. Elichman's office, his current chief domestic affairs adviser to the president." David Hill introduced.

Entering the office, he found someone sitting, "This is Robert Lipschutz, the lawyer who is the president's legal counsel."

Edward greeted the two with some restraint. This is a real big shot. Although they are not famous, they are both important members of the president's private think tank. Their words and deeds can have a huge impact on the president's decision-making.

The two responded politely and were both amazed at Edward's youth.

"Mr. Yang, I'm very happy to know you. Speaking of which, we are still alumni. I remember Mr. Robert Burke always likes to complain in class..." Lippschutz seemed very kind.

"Yes, he is a good teacher, he just likes to complain," Edward responded with a smile, and the atmosphere became harmonious.

After a few greetings, Edward took out a few pages of thin paper from his briefcase and placed them in front of the three of them. This is a brief introduction to the Kudaev case.

Then he began to report the specific situation of the case to the three.

Edward: "I must admit that I cannot know exactly whether Kudaev works for Cia. If I know, then it may be time for FBI to come to me."

After saying that, all three of them laughed.

Edward continued, "But from common sense, this possibility is very small. However, the reason why dissidents like him, or 'not allowed to leave' can bravely stand up and join the Helsinki Watchmen' organization, and openly fight against their government in the Soviet Union is due to the extremely firm support of the U.S. government and President Nixon for the RQ activists."

"In other words, we encouraged the Kudaevs to stand up and challenge the evil! If the President, who is our representative, does not speak, then the support they rely on and the helping hand we extended before will be completely cut off."

"So what measures do you think our government should take on this matter?" Lipschutz asked.

"I think the president should make a clear statement, flatly denying that Kudaev is a spy in the United States and that he has ever provided any intelligence to any American intelligence agency."

"However," Lipschutz interrupted: "Our government policy is to never deny any espionage charges, which I think you should know. We cannot break the rules."

"Yes" Edward is confident. "Jfk once issued a statement for Professor Bahong of Yale, saving him from the black prison in Moscow. This incident later won JFk a huge reputation. So my suggestion just now was not a hothead. At least we have precedents to quote."

The other party asked a lot of questions, and Edward answered them one by one.

Obviously the other party was quite satisfied with his response, and finally the chief adviser for the president's domestic affairs, who had never spoken out, spoke: "Thank you for passing such important information to us, and we will report this matter to the supreme authorities."

“Thank you so much”

"By the way," Elichman thought about it and said, "I suggest you prepare a memorandum that states the passage of the Kudaev incident, the general details of Professor Bahong's incident, and several solutions to solve this problem, as the basis for the president to consider the problem."

"No problem" Edward smiled, "I've actually brought it."

As he said that, he took out the prepared memo from his bag and handed it over.

Elichman roughly flipped over "very detailed, this is enough."

Edward said goodbye.

After returning to California, start working.

He wanted to form a Kudaev's complaint based on that memorandum - the object of presentation was not Moscow, but the United States government and all people. It is obvious that once the US government enters the market, it will play an immeasurable role in the case.

After he finishes writing, he needs to translate it into Russian.

For this, he paid for his own money to hire an acquaintance, Yuri Wexler, the enthusiastic young man he met outside the church at the Orthodox Church in Moscow.

At that time, he was facing arrest for refusing to serve in the military, and at the same time he submitted an application for immigration.

Edward learned a lot of important information from him.

In return, Edward decided to help him. When he returned to the country, he wrote a memorandum about Yuri's problem and handed it to Edward Kennedy through channels. Yes, JKF's youngest brother, who worked on the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee.

It happened that the Senator went to the Soviet Union for a visit, and he mentioned this matter, so Yuri came to the United States.

After Edward learned about it, he simply spent money to hire him as his assistant. On the one hand, he was to give him a place to settle down. On the other hand, since he was going to start a war with Moscow, at least there must be someone around who is familiar with the details there.

Edward discovered that this kid was quite smart and clever.

So the contract was extended and refined.

Yuri will be responsible for the Kudaev case - mainly collecting and sorting various documents, and Edward will pay the reward.

At the same time, Yuri also took the correspondence course of law at Brandeis University, so that he could live a stable life in the United States in a few years.

...

Later, Edward sent another memorandum to Elichmann.

He also felt that it was a bit difficult to let the president come forward just by just these things.

Edward Kennedy's care for Yuri made him think of another solution.

It is the senator who asked a relevant official of the State Council to accompany him and flew directly to Moscow for face-to-face negotiations. The content of the negotiations was simple.

Since the Soviet Union accused Kudaev of providing intelligence to the United States, he should at least pass it on.

So Kudaev must have been online. In that all-Soviet program, the Soviet authorities directly said that some diplomats from the US Embassy in Moscow were engaged in such despicable and vicious activities.

Then ask the Soviet authorities to tell who it is, or provide a connection time and place, and everyone will check it slowly.

And the US promised that as long as the Soviet Union pointed out, diplomats would appear in the Moscow court to testify in court.

Edward's consideration is still media warfare. He knew that Russians do not like it or are good at putting things in public. In this way, forcing a palace in the past may make Moscow consider giving up the accusations against Kudaev and deporting him directly to avoid a head-on conflict with the US State Department.

After two documents are uploaded, it is like a mud cow entering the sea.

Edward had expected this, after all, that was the president!

However, unexpectedly came suddenly.

Just as Edward racked his brains for this, wondering whether to continue to post another memorandum or directly amplify the Kudaev case into a dispute between countries.
