All the hard work is due to the leader!
The intelligence was deciphered by the Americans.
The arms were provided by the Americans.
The transport ship was probably instructed by the Allies!
The Italian pilots were also a stroke of genius by the president.
Well, everything was done by President Luo with foresight and planning.
President Luo's calculations are really smart!
High, really high!
Facing Truman who was full of expectations, George seemed very calm, holding a cigar between his fingers, slowly raised his feet, quietly thinking about people and society, people and the world, war and peace...
It's all nonsense, the key is the benefits.
What benefits you can get are real!
I have been planning for so long, playing chess step by step, just for today, if you want to take it away, you have to give benefits first!
The atmosphere in the study room turned into a special kind of silence, one person was in a state of concentration, and the other was anxious.
In fact, the planner of all this was none other than Truman. As Roosevelt's campaign partner and future vice president, he needed to help Roosevelt overcome the difficulties. In his opinion, this was the best solution.
Of course, after he made this suggestion, Roosevelt and others were also stunned.
All of them gave thumbs up and said "Captain Du is smart."
But the problem is... the person involved needs to be convinced!
So this matter naturally fell on Truman, so Truman's family dinner was held.
"This is a good thing."
Truman emphasized first, and then said to George:
"If you agree to it, there will definitely be various benefits for you. The president will definitely give you rewards, such as in the affairs of North Borneo."
He said it simply, and did not mention what kind of rewards there would be, but one thing is certain, the game between politicians will definitely give him rewards, this is the rule of the game in Washington.
This is also the purpose of George's painstaking planning.
"With the support of the president, all problems will no longer be problems..."
Seeing George was a little dazed, Truman was unconsciously happy, and the corners of his mouth rose.
You can make the president of the United States owe you a favor!
This kind of opportunity is very rare, not everyone can get it.
Without Truman's suggestion, how could this matter be George's turn, and no one would even think of him.
Looking at George's expression, Truman felt that he understood his painstaking efforts and felt satisfied.
Although this favor is indeed a bit expensive.
In fact, how could George not know that this is an opportunity, and there are indeed not many opportunities to make the president of the United States owe you a favor.
Isn't this the reason why he planned all this?
But there is only one president who can't owe it.
"Harry."
George said.
"I don't care what he can give. The important thing is that this matter must be beneficial to you."
A favor!
It would be best if both presidents owed him the favor. Besides, Roosevelt could only live for one year, so he owed him a favor!
It was too short.
It would be better to pay it back now!
It would be better to let the person in front of him owe it!
That's nearly ten years of favor!
That's almost two five-year plans!
"George..."
Truman was stunned at first, then he understood what the other party meant. He nodded seriously and said.
"Thank you."
Then, the two talked for a while and talked about some topics that both parties were interested in. In fact, it was just about asking for benefits. After all, favors are favors, and reality is reality.
Hundreds of millions of dollars in favors?
It's definitely not something that can be asked for easily. It always requires a price.
"Okay, George, next we can discuss some issues that we both care about, how to ensure your interests."
"Of course, I think, first I need..."
The two discussed for almost an hour before deciding what requests should be made, and then George got up and said goodbye.
When he was leaving, he heard a beautiful melody, and walked over to find that it was Lautley playing the piano. Compared with the previous tension, she was obviously much more relaxed, with a pretty smile on her face.
Looking at the girl playing the piano, Truman smiled.
"George, Lautley is a girl with oriental charm."
"I know."
Standing by the living room until the song was over, in the applause of Truman and his wife, the few people chatted briefly and said goodbye.
Willing to send George to the car and holding his hand, Truman said solemnly.
"George, my friend, I will always stand by your side."
This is a promise between friends.
Facing his promise, George smiled.
"Harry, just like you said, we are friends!"
Friends!
Friends... The more friends you have, the easier it is to get along!
"You mean dinner at Truman's house?"
After getting in the car, Laurette looked at the man beside her with resentment.
"Yes."
George said.
"It's just an ordinary dinner..."
"Ordinary, so ordinary..."
Laurette couldn't help rolling her eyes.
Having dinner with the president, you say ordinary... it's really ordinary.
"Such an ordinary dinner, can a child from an ordinary family like us participate?"
The girl's words made George helpless. In fact, the invitation was just a sudden whim.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Laurette thought for a while and said.
"What I mean is, for such an occasion, I should at least make some preparations in advance, for example, at least I can dress more formally, after all, I'm going to the vice president's house."
Although he is not the vice president at the moment, he will definitely be in the future.
"Well, I neglected it."
George nodded. It was indeed neglected. However, he did not think so much at that time. He just needed someone to accompany him.
Whether it is Laurette or Trelaw, it will be fine.
"You play the piano very well. You must have practiced since you were very young."
"Yes, my mother taught me when I was a child. When I went to school in the United States, my relatives also hired a music teacher for me."
Laurette's answer made George mutter in his heart.
This is a child from an ordinary family...
However, George did not care how "ordinary" her family was. He was thinking about what he had agreed with Truman in the study.
All the credit can be given to the leader. The remaining question is the benefits.
How much benefit will he get from this matter?
With his eyes closed, George tapped his knees from time to time, and repeatedly calculated the gains and losses of this matter in his mind.
In fact, he did not lose anything at all.
It seems that he gave the credit to Roosevelt, but in fact, the benefits he gained far exceeded his imagination.
First of all, whether it is for the top leaders of various countries, they can learn from it that they have a very close relationship with the president. They can even act as "presidential agents" to handle some things that are inconvenient for the official to handle.
This identity seems to be nothing big, but in fact, this is a tiger skin! It doesn't even need to be operated, it can be used as a banner.
With this tiger skin, on the issue of North Borneo, if he needs the help of the American fat man Qiu, no matter how unwilling he is, he has to endure it.
It can even be expected that in the near future, the British will definitely come to him to discuss the future of North Borneo, which is different from the previous powerlessness.
Now he has a big flag to wave.
Of course, this is just a nominal benefit. In addition, there is another huge benefit.
Thinking of this, George was unconsciously happy, and the corners of his mouth rose to nearly 70 degrees...
The girl driving the car looked at him out of the corner of her eyes, thinking.
Why is he so happy? Did he find money?
