Chapter 234 Washington Political Conspiracy (Supplement)
"Dear old friend, I am very happy to see that your style is still as good as before. Please sit down!" Hoffman greeted Joseph Kennedy very enthusiastically, and then immediately said, "I have heard about Joseph and John, and I feel very sorry. I breathed a sigh of relief when Ribin Troop said they were safe and sound. You know, it's not that I want to shirk responsibility, but in fact it's our helplessness..."
Old Joseph often wondered why he thought the British were bored and even annoying, while the Germans were very fond of their own appetite. The head of state's sincere smile was much more enjoyable than the flattery of the Fatty Monkey, who was so smiling but not smiling, because the head of state sincerely treated himself as a friend, while Fatty Monkey Monkey thought he was just a nouveau riche. Even if his country was fighting with Germany now, even if his two sons fought with the German army, they still failed to change his subconscious.
In this battle, two descendants of the Kennedy family went to the front line. The eldest son, Joseph Kennedy, was a naval pilot. He fought with the German army on the Newfoundland front line and shot down a German aircraft. He was also shot down by himself. However, after parachuting, he landed in the control area of Liqiwei and finally survived; the second son, John Kennedy, was the captain of the torpedo boat, fought with the German army at Cape Verde, and was eventually captured because of the army's "uprising in the face of the battle". Logically speaking, he could be regarded as having national hatred and family hatred. Roosevelt and Hopkins also believed that anyone could betray America, but people like Joseph Kennedy would not, but he obviously did not consider it so simply and narrowly.
Hoffman looked at the time first, then smiled apologetically at Old Joseph: "We can talk about it for about an hour here..."
"One hour is enough, I won't waste too much time on you."
"We have a lot of time to communicate, but we can only stay here for an hour," Hoffman explained. "I will go out to the Eagle's Nest in an hour. Eva has reached the due date and the child may be born at any time. I will go back to accompany her for a few days and return to Berlin when the child arrives..."
"Really? Congratulations in advance." Old Joseph looked happy. The German media have announced the news of the head of state's engagement and even descendants, and the United States is obviously clear about it.
"For me who is about to become a father, I can especially understand your mood when you receive the news of your son's battle. There is actually no deep hatred between Germany and the United States. Some contradictions are also caused by a small group of Jewish conspirators. I think this meaningless war will end sooner, the better."
"Then you go quickly, don't delay the trip..." Old Joseph gritted his teeth, "If you don't mind, I want to visit the head of state with you and communicate with you on the way to negotiate."
"That's good..."
"Did the doctor say it's a boy or a girl?"
"A lot of them said they were boys, but no one dared to guarantee them. But that doesn't matter. I like boys and girls. Miss Braun is still young, so we can have a few more children. At this point, I have to learn from you. All you educated are very outstanding talents, with noble qualities, and willing to contribute silently to the country..."
"Your child will be better in the future, because his father is thousands of times better than my child's father, and is the most outstanding leader on this earth, almost no one..." Old Joseph's difficult-to-mouth flattery amused Hoffman.
He asked with a smile, "I heard you really want your son to be the future president of the United States?"
"Yes, think about it! I dream of it! But no matter how hard I think about it, what's the use?" Joseph shrugged. "A Irish descendant like me, who has no prominent family background in the United States and has no power at present. The president who relies on is getting older and older, I can at most leave some money for them, probably so far from the president to Washington."
"If you really want to, I don't mind helping you a little."
"Don't...don't..." Joseph became nervous. "Although I personally have no hostility to Germany, this does not mean that the American people are not hostile, so..."
"Don't be so scared." Hoffman smiled kindly, "Don't you want to learn something from me? I'm also a political leader who is running for the post. As long as the US president still needs to run for the future, my experience will come in handy."
"Yes..." Joseph Kennedy suddenly recalled that the head of state was very good at running for elections. Roosevelt was still from a prominent family. What was Hitler? A former Austrian corporal and an insignificant painter who had no reputation. If we simply talk about his background, Joseph and John the younger ones had a far better starting point than the head of state.
"Tell me, let me have the opportunity to learn a little bit of fur."
"Although the situation in the United States and Germany are different, they have similarities in determining politicians. For example, they both worship heroes, especially war heroes. If they are a hero with a spirit of sacrifice, it will be more perfect."
"Yes! Yes!"
Hoffman pointed to his Iron Cross: "As an Austrian, I joined Germany from afar and served in Germany, made meritorious, bleeding, and wounded for him. The people know that they also believe in my sincerity in dedicating to the country. Your son fought for the interests of the United States and was dedicated to the country in Cape Verde, and he had good basic conditions, but I think this is not enough."
"Not enough?" Joseph was stunned, and then said dejectedly, "What's the point of this? He has become a prisoner now. If it is reported, it will be a big stain in the future."
"I don't think so. Old friend, he was forced to be a prisoner. It was caused by the brainless behavior of some of your senior generals. His performance was beyond reproach. What's more, have I ever said that he would be a prisoner for the rest of his life? As long as you want, I can release him from the prisoner camp in the next minute."
"Farewell... I'm grateful for my care." Joseph sighed, "I believe he won't stay in the prison camp for a long time."
"Maybe soon, maybe it will be longer, depending on what the senior figures in your country think and see. But I really have a good idea..." At this moment, Hoffman's voice was like a devil possessed, constantly seducing Joseph, "Don't you want to hear it? This is my special train, no one will know."
"This..." Joseph hesitated and gritted his teeth, "You said!"
"Your son can escape from prison."
"Prison escape?" Leaving from the heavily guarded prisoner camp? Old Joseph shook his head, "Dear Head, don't frame me. He escaped from prison the previous second, and the next second he will be torn to pieces by the mg42 machine gun. Although I have several sons, I don't want to lose him like this."
"Don't worry about this. I have many talents under my command, and they will arrange it." Hoffman smiled. "As long as you can make little John make this decision, I can find him 100 ways."
"I……"
"Of course, this determination cannot be done by him, otherwise he will have doubts and will have a shadow in his heart for the rest of his life... I just want to help him, so I will not reveal the news to him about this matter. As long as you agree, I can start to arrange it." Hoffman said in a tempting tone, "Of course, in addition to himself, he can also bring a few companions when he escapes from prison, preferably his partners on the same torpedo boat. These are all small people, I won't mind. If he is brave enough and your psychological endurance is strong enough, I can even arrange for him to be shot and injured in order to cover his brothers' successful escape..."
"I..." Joseph murmured in shock when he heard this, "Is this OK?"
"Scared? He won't die, and even if he can't escape, it doesn't matter. At worst, he can be captured and treated again and detained. With your relationship, who would abuse him?" Hoffman said with a smile, "But think about it, what will happen in the future if he succeeds? A young naval lieutenant fought for the country for the last minute on the battlefield, but was forced to become a prisoner because of the brainlessness of some commanders. After entering the prisoner-of-war camp, he did not succumb to fate, but tried every means to find a way to escape and lead his friends to escape from prison , During the escape, he was even shot to cover up his companion. How wise, brave, dedicated and sacrificed! Is such a well-educated, superior background, loyal to the country, and willing to help others still the best among his peers in the future? If he can win a Purple Heart Medal, he will be more prominent than any family background in his future! More persuasive than any empty slogan! What do you think of this idea? Even if he doesn't run for president, run for state legislators, and run for senators!"
Joseph's breathing was rapid. Hoffman's words just now clearly reached his heart. For a parent who already has a deep understanding of the American democracy and hopes that his son will succeed, he can easily judge whether this matter is meaningful. He closed his eyes and thought about it carefully, and finally said with gritted teeth: "You have to let me think about it carefully. I am very confused now and cannot answer you immediately. But whether you try or not, you have to promise me two things. First, you can never tell John; second, be sure to help me ensure his safety. It doesn't matter if I suffer a minor injury, but you can't suffer major trauma in both body and appearance. He is still young and has a long way to go in the future..."
At the end of the day, he actually choked up. Hoffman patted his shoulder and comforted, "It's no big deal. It's a big deal for you. For me, it's just a raise of my hand to treat. I agreed to release John the first day you came, but I didn't do that because I was worried about the impact."
"How much do you want?"
"money?"
"Yes, I will definitely pay the price to do this. Let me say a number first, and I will think about it and then reply to you."
"Old friend, talking about money will hurt feelings."
"No, no, no, no, I can only pay, I can't do anything else, I can't sell American interests, I am an American citizen, I am now the president's envoy, I..."
"You are so rude, how can you betray your interests?" Hoffman stood up with a laugh and said his thoughts.
