America's Road to Wealth

This mansion in Kalorama was actually the residence of William Habs Rehnquist in Washington.

And the Morgenthau family and others came here as guests.

Robert Morgenthau and Paige had come to Washington together three days earlier. They're here, of course, to see their granddaughter/daughter actually land a seat on the D.C. Circuit Court.

They also attended and participated in the ceremony at the Federal Supreme Court just now. Just came out earlier and arrived at the Rehnquist family's villa in advance.

Abe and Paige, who left later, are now together at the house of William Hobs Rehnquist.

Rehnquist and the grand ceremony entertained the arrival of Abel and the Morgenthau family.

Of course, Robert understood that the reason for Rehnquist's enthusiasm was mainly because of Abel's presence.

To some extent, his relationship with William Hubbs was not very friendly.

This is normal. One of the two parties belongs to the Donkey Party and the other belongs to the Elephant Party. And in his youth, William Habs Rehnquist had hoped to become a New York prosecutor.

But the leader at that time was Kenny Dee, he was a donkey gang, and he had a childhood with Robert.

Kennedy, with his unique charm, can almost be said to be the most popular and supported general in the history of the United States by ordinary Americans.

Although the Grand Commander cannot affect the election of the District Attorney. But Kenny Dee, who was already the commander-in-chief at the time, couldn't bear it, and came to New York to stand for Robert Morgenthau in person.

Robert's competitors, including William Habs at that time, naturally couldn't handle Robert, who was blessed by the first charismatic commander, so they all lost.

But Kenny Dicheng is also because of his too much charm, and his brain opening is also because of his too much charm.

If he hadn't been popular with the public because of his charisma, his popularity and support would have exploded. Then he would not want to try to reform the status quo in the United States.

If he doesn't want to reform, then he won't open his mind... somewhat like Master Luo.

Looking at the history of the United States for more than 200 years, almost all the assassinated commanders tried or did things that wanted to change the status quo of the United States.

This is true from Lincoln to Li Gen after Kennedy.

It can only be said that the class and distribution of interests in this country are deeply ingrained.

Anyone who wants to challenge this distribution, as well as the existence of the interests of all parties, will face backlash from them.

It is as strong as Master Luo who holds military power and has great prestige after the victory of World War II.

There is also Kennedy Dee, who has great prestige among the people and is loved by workers and trade unions.

All of them failed.

So in fact, it proves that the so-called reform can no longer be produced in this country.

Off topic.

The former relationship between Robert and William Hobs was somewhat fraught.

This may also be one of the reasons why it was difficult for the Morgenthau family to intervene in this system after Rehnquist was reborn in the federal legal system.

It's just that both of them are old now, and Robert is already in his 90s. The younger Rehnquist was even worse, suffering from cancer.

Both of them have reached the point where they have to think about their funeral affairs and the descendants of the family.

At this time, Abel stood up again with a smile, willing to be a witness of the easing relationship between the two parties.

Ever since, Rehnquist and Morgenthau, who were not hostile but had always been unfriendly, shook hands and made peace.

This is how Robert Morgenthau sat down to dinner with William Habs Rehnquist today.

There were not many participants in this luncheon. In addition to the three Morgenthaus and Abel, on Rehnquist's side were William himself, his son John, and his niece Caroline Winnie Rehnquist, a total of 6 people.

"Your chief competitor is only a little Cyrus Vance."

At the luncheon, I saw Robert calmly talking to Caroline:

"Although Cyrus Roberts Vance passed away last year. But Roberts left a large number of allies within the Donkey Party. These allies hope that after me, let Vance Jr. take over as the Manhattan District Attorney. Position."

"I asked Peggy to replace me later on. Although they had a lot of opinions, Peggy was also my granddaughter, and she was one of their own. So they endured it. Now... Peggy is also relieved. This job. Obviously, this time they will not be indifferent."

At this time, William Habs Rehnquist couldn't help but sneered: "Ha, old Vance left it to young Vance's network and friends. Dear Robert, you may be the most important part." ?”

To Old Rehnquist's taunt, Robert shrugged and did not respond.

Old Rehnquist was right. He, Robert Morgenthau, was really the mainstay in supporting little Vance.

In the past, Robert had always been one of the important allies of Cyrus Roberts Vance.

So what if it's just an important ally? For a moment Cyrus Roberts Vance was dead.

Secondly, since the contact with Abel, the origin of the Morgenthau family's deep-rooted donkey party has also become unpredictable.

Robert, who is a conservative of the Donkey Party, is easy to make peace with the centrists of the Elephant Party.

And with Abel as the middleman, it's okay to change jobs.

Like this time, the Morgenthau family, which has been a donkey party for hundreds of years, has an elephant party-Peggy Morgenthau. The donkey party had a lot of opinions, but the elephant party didn't say anything.

The reason is because of the presence of Abel.

It is also for this reason that the White House and the Senate controlled by the Elephant Party can make a person who joined the Elephant Party halfway through the Donkey Party become the chief judge of the District Court of Columbia.

They didn't want to push Abel over to the donkey party any more.

Add in some promises and resource exchanges from Abel, and you end up with this situation.

But having said that, old Robert can be considered wily. For a long time, Peggy has been a non-party identity... It can be regarded as a preparation, so that the opponents of the Elephant Party can't attack in this regard.

Seeing the unharmonious picture of the two old people, Abel interrupted the confrontation between the two: "Little Cyrus? I remember that he served as Peggy's deputy before? He also came to my company to search?"

"Yes. Little Vance is currently the Chief Assistant of the Manhattan District Attorney's Office. According to regulations, if Peggy resigns, he will be the interim Manhattan District Attorney. But there will be re-election next month. So he can only Can be the Manhattan District Attorney for half a month." Robert explained.

"What are his chances of winning?"

Hearing Abel's question, Robert looked expectantly at Caroline, then at Peggy, who had been eating with a calm face, and finally focused on Abel.

"Originally, if Peggy didn't compete with him, it was 100%. If Peggy fought with him, then he would have less than 40%."

"Now……"

Robert said softly: "If you, the chief citizen of New York, side with Ms. Rehnquist, I think... the probability of little Vance winning is very low, as long as there are no accidents!"

Abel understood, he smiled and looked at William Habs Rehnquist, and then at his chief legal counsel.

"It won't look too hard, my dear Caroline."

Something happened at home, I will update it later, sorry.
