America's Road to Wealth

Congressman Alexander and fellow Congressman Neil Shrub, both members of the House of Representatives.

The only difference is that Alexander's constituency is in Texas, and Neil's constituency is in California.

Both took office in 2002, and the representatives serve only two-year terms.

In other words, it is not just the end of this year that George needs to face new challenges. At the end of this year, the two of them will also have to hold another election to ensure that they can continue to sit in their positions.

But compared to George, the positions of the two of them are stronger.

Needless to say, Alexander is backed by the basic foundation of the Smith family. If it weren't for the verbal agreement with Hammer Tom and the governor, Alexander could even try to run for senator or governor in Texas!

Although Neil is in California, where the bush family can't reach, one of Abel's basic plans is there!

Today's Neil, to a certain extent, can be said to be backed by the Wilson family of the California consortium, and behind him is Abel's support.

Although he is an outsider, his status in California is considered solid.

It can be said that even if the two re-elect at the end of this year, it is not a big problem if they want to be re-elected. After all, although he is a member of Congress, he is only a member of the House of Representatives.

A mere congressman is already the top of the ceiling for many Americans.

But for people like Neil and Alexander who have Abel behind them, it can only be regarded as a good starting point.

Now Alexander suddenly heard his son asking himself if he wanted to change his position.

If it was a few years ago, he might say "as long as you like it".

At that time, he just started on this road, he just wanted to help his son and make him happy.

Now Alexander, who has experienced it, is no longer the pure Texas Dixie.

He couldn't help but said, "Didn't you reach an agreement with Tom and Kerry?"

The governor of Texas is also surnamed Kerry, but it has nothing to do with John Forbes Kerry.

Hearing his father's answer, Abel smiled. He knew that his father still missed the positions of Texas Senator or Governor of Texas to some extent.

However, in Abel's view, these two positions are really nothing. And to say something ominous, it is difficult for the senators and governors of Texas to reach high federal positions.

The reason lies in the special historical factors of the Lone Star State.

Because strictly speaking, the governor or senator of Texas is the existence in the United States that is most likely to split off to become the commander-in-chief or head of state.

But it's not so outrageous that it's 100% impossible.

"It doesn't have to be Tom or Kerry. Now it makes more sense for us to let them sit in those two positions."

Abel said softly: "Don't be so impatient, my dear father. In fact, what I mean is that you should go further in the House of Representatives. For example, become the party whip, or take part-time duties as the chairman of the House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee, etc. .”

After listening to his son's words, Alexander nodded slightly, knowing that his son wanted to add some burden to himself.

The old red neck was a little disappointed, after all, he was only a member of the House of Representatives.

There is still a long way to go before the transformation of a senator or a governor.

It's just that this is the son's request, which may involve the son's long-term plan, which is more beneficial to the Smith family.

In addition, Alexander knew exactly what kind of material he was, and he knew that without his son, it would be very difficult for him to even gain a foothold here.

Therefore, Alexander said with certainty: "You arrange it, and I will do it well."

We chatted for a while, around 9 o'clock in the evening.

Peggy and grandfather both resigned, and Abel sent them outside.

In the parking lot of the manor, Robert got into the car consciously.

Under the dim light, Abel took Peggy's hand and walked in the garden.

Washington DC nights in June are cool compared to the heat of the day. The night breeze was blowing, and the charming fragrance of evening flowers was blowing. With the fragrance of Peggy's body, Abel was very intoxicated.

"... With such a big belly, will it be convenient for you to work? I asked Rehnquist, and he said that it's okay if you can take a break if necessary. And this time can be very long, and it doesn't matter. will affect your position."

As the most powerful position under the 9-member heavenly group, the position of chief judge of the Washington Circuit Court cannot be occupied by ordinary people.

Only those with sufficient background, ability, and luck can sit in this position.

All three are indispensable.

Peggy shook her head lightly. She hadn't spoken to Abel all night, and now she only had a chance to talk to him when they were alone.

The intellectual New York girl said softly: "There are some inconveniences, but they can be overcome. I don't feel tired. I like this job."

"Hmm." Seeing that she had expressed her opinion like this, what else could Abel say. He held her hand, walked around a few more times, and said some warm words.

Then he kissed her goodbye, sent her to the car, and watched the Morgenthau family's car leave.

Turning around and returning home, both Alexander and Emily went to wash and rest.

Don't think that Alexander is very free in Washington. Their group of members of Congress hold meetings at every turn, at least 300 days out of 365 days a year.

There are all kinds of topics for meetings, and sometimes they have to be sent on business trips. From time to time, I have to go back to my constituency to consolidate my votes.

It can be said that these members of Congress are busier than the commander-in-chief most of the time...

Abel, who had nothing to do for the time being, simply went back to his and little Laura's bedroom.

Little Laura is sitting in front of the dressing table taking off her makeup, while the child is in the baby room next to it, where there are a lot of nannies and medical staff taking care of it.

Seeing Abel's return, little Laura speeded up the action of removing makeup. After applying night cream on her face, she took off her nightgown and got into Abel's fiery arms.

"Tsk tsk, you're finally back. I watched you and her, and walked down there several times!"

"Let's not talk about this." Facing his wife's jealous words, Abel directly used the method of diverting attention, "What I discussed with my father just now, now I want to discuss it with you again."

"Huh?" Little Laura was surprised. "What does this have to do with me?"

"Of course it has something to do with you, because this time I'm going to talk about my other "father", my dear father-in-law Mr. Neil Bush."

"Oh, oh." Little Laura suddenly realized.

"What happened to my dad?"

The first thing she thought of was what trouble her father had caused.

Having said that, since she can remember. Her own father was very troubled, and was even reprimanded by her grandfather and uncles several times in front of her...

Even with Abel's help, he is now a prominent congressman.

In Washington, he still had the occasional joke or something.

Let Uncle George or Abel come out from time to time, and let her, as a daughter, lose face a lot of the time.

The reason why she was so tolerant towards Abel in certain aspects was definitely a very important factor of her father's unreliability.

Seeing her reaction, Abel couldn't help laughing.

"Haha... Don't get it wrong, Neil is fine this time. What I want to tell you, I'm going to let Neil try to see if he can become the governor of California this year!"

"ah!"

Little Laura cried out in surprise, and looked at Abel with her beautiful eyes under the quilt, with a look of disbelief.

Abel knew what she was thinking, because making Neal governor of California sounded like a fantasy.

Regardless of his ability and personality, even his qualifications and background make it impossible for him to become the governor of California in the past few years.

"I know what you're thinking, honey. But now we have an opportunity before us."

Abel explained patiently.

The current governor of California is Davis, a member of the Donkey Party. He took office in 1998 and was re-elected in 2002. He will retire this year.

California law stipulates that a governor can only serve two consecutive terms. But after the two terms are over, others will be governors again. Those who have served two consecutive terms as governor can re-elect. As for whether they can win or not, it depends on their personal ability.

Davis was fine in the past few years. However, after 2002, because of the bubble crisis just happened, and California was the most seriously injured place in the Internet bubble.

Coupled with various wildfires, state-wide power shortages, economic weakness and other issues, Davis, the governor, has been seriously questioned in his tenure. Last year and the year before, California even launched an impeachment against him.

The donkey party was also extremely disappointed with him, because it was under Davis' tenure that the election situation in California, a super stable blue state, unexpectedly fluctuated...

The voters actually wanted to turn red, how could the donkey party stand this.

For a while, Davis didn't get much support within the Donkey Party and the state.

In desperation, one of the big bosses in the donkey party is also a ruthless person.

He found Abel, contacted George through Abel's factor, and got closer and closer to the Elephant Party.

In the end, he was able to continue to stay in the position of governor for another two years, and he will retire at the end of the year.

The "Neil's chance" in Abel's mouth came from Davis.

He remembered that in the parallel time and space, Schwarzenegger, an elephant party, became the governor of California because Davis was impeached and re-elected.

Now that Davis has not stepped down, Schwarzenegger has no such opportunity.

"You may not be able to win. But you can't go wrong if you try." Abel finally said to little Laura in this way, roughly explaining the ins and outs.

"I promise, if my father knows your plan, he will be very happy." After little Laura figured it out, a smile appeared on her face.

She was also happy, after all, if it really succeeded, her father would be able to go one step further.

The shrub family can also go to the next level!

Tsk tsk, two leaders and three governors! Such a feat, even the former Adams family has not achieved it?

What's more, there is a situation where there are two governors at the same time, which is unique in the United States!

And there is no governor of Shankara, a governor of Texas, a governor of Florida, and now if there is another governor of California.

Then there is only one governor of New York State, if even the governor of New York State can be elected.

That is, the four major states of the United States are all complete, but this kind of thing is just a matter of thinking.

In New York State, even if Abel became a local snake in New York, he still couldn't handle New York State.

As the state with the most old money and local snakes in the United States, the situation in New York State is also the most complicated.

"Okay. You can tell Neil about this later, so that he can be mentally prepared. George and Herbert, I will go and tell them myself."

"The boring things are over, let's talk about the fun things!"

Abel chuckled softly.

What followed was whispering and frolicking, then rustling, and finally some cat-like moaning that was deliberately suppressed in the bedroom.

The space of the mansion is large enough for two couples who have not reunited for a long time to get married. Little Laura has a long drought and sweet dew, so naturally she needs to celebrate with hi hi Pippi.

What's more, she is eager to have a second child now, and the battle is naturally unprecedentedly fierce.

So, the next day, when little Laura opened her sleepy eyes and looked out of the gap in the curtains, it was still a dark night, she instinctively wanted to keep closing her eyes for a while. When she wanted to go back to sleep, she glanced at the clock on the wall, and then she sat up suddenly and looked at the time with wide eyes. She thought the watch had stopped, because the time on it happened to be the same as last night when she welcomed Peggy as a guest at home. about the time...

This battle situation is really intense enough.

When little Laura's legs were soft and her feet were soft, she quickly washed up, and came out of the room very embarrassed.

She was surprised to hear from the servants that her father and uncle George were visiting at the house.

"Oh, my God. By God, I'm ashamed to go to Guadalupe this time!"

Guadalupe Peak is located at the southern end of the Guadalupe Mountains, at an altitude of 2,667 meters. It is the tallest mountain in Texas and is part of Guadalupe National Park.

Every Texan has learned this in their textbooks and for a long time they thought Guadalupe was the highest peak in America...

When she appeared in the living room with a hot face, she saw her father, mother, uncle, and aunt chatting with her husband, father-in-law, and mother-in-law.

His own children were running around in the living room, followed by several nannies.

Little Laura really didn't want to go there at this time, if she could.

It's just that when she wanted to back away quietly, she found that her aunt, the first lady, had seen herself.

It's not good to go back at this time.

Little Laura had no choice but to walk out courageously and say hello to the elders first. Under the mocking eyes of the elders, he walked to the empty seat next to Abel and sat down, gave Abel a hard look, blaming him for making such a fool of himself!

Abel shook his hand back, took her hand, and smiled gently at her.

This reassured little Laura, thinking that it would be fine if he was there anyway.

Then she heard Abel talking to her uncle and the others: "Why would Herbert object? Because I think the probability is really not low. At least there is a 50% chance that Neil will win and become the governor of California."

be opposed to? Grandfather objected?

Little Laura looked at the elders of her natal family in surprise.
