Eight hundred seventy-six.(1/2)

William did not believe that his father would love him so deeply.

He knew that in his father's heart, he could no longer tolerate the second thing except Germany, and this was one of the most important reasons why William wanted to start a war against Germany.

But now Elliot said such ridiculous things. He actually said that his father still loves him and still loves him deeply. Does he really think he is a three-year-old child?

"William, stop." Elliot whispered: "This is a war between two countries, and it is actually a war between the father and the son. The Baron doesn't want to see it. Do you want to keep going like this?"

William shook his head: "No, I will not stop the war."

"Do you want to keep going like this?" Elliot's voice rose up because of anxiety: "Do you really think you can defeat the Baron? He has always been an undefeated myth on the battlefield. Do you see the current situation? The Baron has firmly controlled the victory of the war, most of Germany's territory has been liberated, France, Russia, and Italy have successively separated from the Allies, and the power of the Axis powers is further strengthening. In Britain, a large-scale comprehensive attack by the Axis troops is imminent. Do you really think Britain can still defend it?"

"Britain may not be able to defend it anymore," William said frankly: "Yes, I don't want to deny this. The British government forces are not very willing to fight now. Once the war begins, it is hard to say how many officers and soldiers are loyal to the Fenton government, and how many officers and soldiers are loyal to Elizabeth II. Perhaps after the Axis powers begin to fully land, a large-scale mutiny will occur."

Elliot was a little anxious: "You know all these, but you are still stubborn to carry out the war to the end?"

"Eliot, you are a businessman, and a very successful businessman. I will never be as good as you in terms of business talent." William said: "But you don't know how to be a president and how to manage a country. The US president seems to be incredible, but in fact it is the most difficult job in the world. When you make a choice, your only possibility is to complete this choice. There is no other way to go. I started a war against Germany. I just started a few days ago.

It's about to succeed. Although the country was filled with all kinds of opposition voices at that time, my personal reputation still reached a peak. However, not only the United States is facing failure, but I am also facing failure. Do you know what failure means? I will have nothing, and everyone will accuse me of bringing the United States to the current dilemma. So, even if I know the road ahead is full of difficulties, I can only hold on. Elliot, you won't understand."

Elliot understood, he understood everything.

After William decided to start a war against Germany, the Wittgenstein family also entered a low period, but Elliot did not give up and insisted on it until the turn of opportunity came and the Wittgenstein family completely got out of the low period.

Now, William is also facing such a dilemma. He and William grew up together and are both from the Wittgenstein family. Everyone in this family has a common characteristic: no matter how difficult the road is, they will grit their teeth and walk to the end of the road.

In this regard, William's personality has so many similarities with the Baron, and they will never give up, even if they are in a desperate dilemma. However, is this personality really good for William?

"Eliot, no matter how you persuade me, it's useless." William said slowly: "Today, I came to you just because I wanted to ask your help. The Galaxy was hijacked. I think you had known that there were many important figures of the Fenton government on board. I want to open a secret negotiation channel and redeem the Galaxy."

For William, this is already a big concession. You must know that the United States has always refused to conduct such negotiations.











"I can consider not only any price I have to pay." William quickly continued: "The huge ransom, or the sacrifice of some interests of the United States and the Fenton administration."

"You are under a lot of pressure," Elliot said after a moment of silence: "You know that the incident of the Galaxy will not be resolved for a day, and the Fenton government will be in chaos for a day, and may even collapse at any time and anywhere. Is it?"

Seeing William nodding, Elliot said lightly: "But do you think there is such a possibility? This is a step in all the Baron's plans. He succeeded. The Galaxy will be a very important bargaining chip for him to force the Fenton government to surrender, thereby minimizing casualties in the Axis army. Negotiation? William, do you think your father will negotiate with an absolute advantage? He does not need any money, nor does it require any price you want to pay... William, you know your father better than I do, he will never engage in such negotiations even for a minute...."

William showed a bitter smile on his face. Yes, he knew his father would definitely reject him, but even though he knew it was impossible, he had to do so, and he had no other better choice.

However, when Eliot said this, he still felt a faint disappointment.











William shrugged: "Ah, I just ask this. Elliot, you are an expert in the economy. Do you have any good suggestions for the difficulties of the US economy?"

"No." Elliott answered very simply: "All the methods that can be used have been used, William, to be honest, I can't think of a better solution. And I can tell you with certainty that this financial crisis came more violently than the one in 1942, and will last longer. The US economy will be in a slump for a long time, and whether you, or your successor, will have to face a terrible cold winter in American history...."

William was silent. "Whether you or your successor, you will need to face a terrible cold winter in American history..."

Elliot's words seemed to tell him that the American chaebols no longer hope that he can be elected as US president again.

William is a very ambitious person. He hopes that his achievements can surpass President Roosevelt, and he hopes that his re-elected number will exceed President Roosevelt. He almost achieved this goal, in the name of war! But when victory is at your fingertips, there is a series of so many things happening.

War creates itself, and war also deals a heavy blow to itself.

"I always remember our happy childhoods..." William suddenly recalled his childhood again inexplicably: "At that time, we lived in Wittgenstein Manor, you, me, my mother, Aunt Hermione, and our old-fashioned and lovely housekeeper Deppsey. We were always fantasizing about what we could do when we grew up. We were always proud of being a member of the Wittgenstein family... We grew up and embarked on two completely different paths. I went to China, where I first met my father. At that time, I was still proud of being a member of the Wittgenstein family. Elliot, you probably will never be able to understand the proud mood I was at that time...."

Elliot vaguely felt something that he didn't want to see happened.











William sighed softly: "Later, we parted ways. I have my ideals and you have your dreams. We will never be able to get together again. So, from now on, I will leave the Wittgenstein family!"

"So, from now on, I will be out of the Wittgenstein family!"

When William said this, Elliot stared at him: "Have you really thought about it?"

"Yes, I've thought about it." William replied so firmly: "From now, starting from this minute, I have no relationship with the Wittgenstein family anymore!"

Elliot suddenly smiled strangely, but his smile was filled with endless sadness and despair.











Then he said slowly: "William, the Baron will be very sad when he knows it. I still have to tell you that the Baron has always loved you. Maybe you will not understand his love for you until many years!"

He picked up his hat and finally said to William: "Goodbye, William."

"Goodbye, Elliot!"

They spoke so politely, just like two friends who had just met for a while. When the "goodbye" was said, all the friendships that had been formerly buried were completely and deeply buried.

From now on, these two former friends will truly embark on two completely different paths.























Now, the whole of the United States is in chaos.

The incidents that seemed simple originally caused so many things one after another, which no one expected before.

New York has become a battlefield like Oakland, something that was simply unimaginable before. The center of world finance is now filled with protests, strikes, and confrontations between black and white.

In Auckland, Mayor Duira has been prosecuted for eight charges, but Mayor Duira's experience has shown no sign of quelling the turmoil in Auckland. On the contrary, such turmoil has become increasingly intense.

What’s even more striking is that the “Black Panther Party” that disappeared for some time once again appeared in the sight of Aucklanders!

After the "Casri Academy Incident" broke out, the "Black Panther Party" mysteriously disappeared with the hostages and the remaining members. It was not until two days later that the police discovered the abandoned sewer, but at this time, Huey Newton and the "Black Panther Party" he led had long disappeared without a trace.

During this period, the whole of Oakland was looking for Huey Newton and his "Black Panther Party", but they seemed to have completely disappeared from this earth.











Miles was the first to meet Huey Newton after the Casry Academy incident. When he saw the leader of the black movement, he couldn't wait to ask, "Mr. Newton, where is my child now?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Mars, your son is fine now." Huey smiled, then took out a picture and handed it to Mr. Mars: "This is what your son took."

Mr. Mars grabbed the photo and said, yes, the photo shows his son, who is a little thinner than before, but his spirit still looks quite good.











Mr. Mars felt much more relieved, but he did not intend to call out his wife, as this would make his wife, who was already almost crazy because of missing her son, even more frightened.
