Greatness is not destined to be lonely. People with heroic sentiments throughout the ages have always longed for the strong.
A great man like George Washington was certainly not a lonely person. There were always many good helpers beside him and under his command who were unknown but made great contributions.
Just like the sage kings in Chinese history, whether they created a prosperous age or achieved grand hegemony, it was impossible for the emperor to do everything by himself. There were four heroes in the Han Dynasty, and there were many sages in Lingyan Pavilion in the Tang Dynasty. Sage kings are not omnipotent. Even with the idea that foreign monks can recite sutras, it is conceivable that George Washington is not an omnipotent person. He has admirers, followers, and many doers who personally implement his grand dream.
"I think those who have created great things will tacitly hope that everything they create will last forever, and Washington is no exception. How to ensure the future of the United States? No one in a country can bear the full weight, but we can do our best to do our best." Therefore, during the two terms of President Washington's inauguration, an organization loyal to him was established. The name is 789, which means the year when Washington became president and created history. This organization The people in it are not so much loyal to Washington as they are staunch defenders of American interests. Since more than two hundred years ago, this organization has been keeping a low profile and seems more like it has disappeared. Their logo is the first face in American history. The official national flag has been used since its establishment. All the successors are descendants of the ancestors. Therefore, after more than two hundred years, there are not many people left, but it is like a baptism of waves. , today there are only a few members of 789, but they all have big figures who can influence the economy, culture, politics, and military of the United States. And their current leader is a direct descendant of Washington, the great man."
Tang Xinfeng calmly told Zhuo Wenyi the secret he had learned. In Tang Xinxin's opinion, this was not a shocking secret. The world is so big that it is unimaginable. What everyone does will not be disclosed openly. 789 is a mystery at best. organize. But it is not as powerful as shaking the world, and there has been no earth-shattering conspiracy in the past. It only becomes active when the United States is in crisis. When it is calm, it is mostly hidden in the unrest of daily life, and There is no difference between ordinary people. The most brilliant and glorious era in history should be during World War II, but that is still unknown.
Zhuo Wenyi had a heavy look on his face. Frowning: "So, Michael, he is"
"Well, yes, his ancestors were the original members of 789. Today, his status in the upper echelon of the United States, as well as his influence and secret manipulation on the economy, are actually. He can be said to be a spy, regardless of the circle of financial speculators in the United States. How mysterious and powerful, causing trouble in countries all over the world. But they are also being monitored. Michael seems to be brothers fighting side by side with Carter, but Michael's main task is to ensure that they, the financial aristocrats, will not become insatiable one day and completely subvert the United States. The economy, and this is just one aspect that 789 members are concerned about.¡±
Tang Xin's words made Zhuo Wenyi fall into deep thought. Based on Michael's status and influence in the economic field, and the energy that can be mobilized, if there are people with the same energy in politics and military, then there are too many things they can do. , and the influence it creates cannot be underestimated.
"Don't worry too much. As I said at the beginning, 789 will only cause some trouble at best. If we are going to arm-wrestle with the world, I hope that trouble will come. This will also give us a stage to perform."
Tang Xin saw that Zhuo Wenyi seemed to be getting more and more nervous the more he listened, and his face was very heavy, so he gave him a few words to explain.
He himself doesn't feel nervous, and he thinks he is invincible in the world, which seems a bit shameless, but in fact, that seems to be the case, and what he has been doing is hoping to spread this confidence that he can remain calm despite the collapse of the mountain. To the people around you.
"A big thing is no bigger than a sesame seed."
Even if the innocence collapses, don¡¯t be afraid, my brothers will carry it.
Zhuo Wenyi looked much gentler, chatted with Tang Xin about some trivial matters, and finally stood up to leave.
After sending Zhuo Wenyi away from the main entrance, Tang Xin returned to the living room, where his son sat on the floor playing games alone. Looking back, he asked him to join in. Tang Xin agreed first, but planned to go upstairs to see Qiao Yi.
Tang Xin was more or less embarrassed when the children at home saw the inappropriate scenes.
Arriving at the door of her room, Tang Xin knocked lightly. There was silence inside. Li Ziying, who had woken up from her nap, sat on the small bed and looked at Qiao Yi, who was in the same room with her, hiding her head under the quilt. She was very puzzled. He looked back and forth, sometimes looking at the door, sometimes looking at Qiao Yi who was afraid to see anyone on the bed.
Tang Xin called outside the door several times but received no response, and was rejected.?Give up the idea of ??going in forcefully.
Qiao Yi hid in the bed, closed her eyes tightly, and curled up into a ball. She tried her best to turn her mind into darkness and not think about anything, but it seemed that the scene in front of her couldn't be taken away.
The man and woman enjoying the pleasure of love and sex were sleeping on the big bed, and their thoughts seemed to have entered an endless loop, constantly replaying the scene she had peeped, and it was as if their souls were far away, and they could see squatting outside the door and peeking. The expression on his delicate little face turned out to be particularly obsessed and dazed.
Qiao Yi hugged the pillow tightly in her arms, her blushing face becoming more and more obvious, and she didn't know why, she couldn't help but transform Qian Huiyao in her memory into herself, the mature, tall, beautiful and elegant version of herself when she grew up.
The African continent is experiencing the scorching sun in summer, but North America is feeling the coming of winter. Although heavy snow has not yet fallen, the cold air has already caused most pedestrians on the road to wear warm coats.
New York, the city that never sleeps.
The cold wind cannot dissipate the enthusiasm here. The streets and alleys are bustling with people, and the latest news that attracts global attention is played on the big screens in many squares in the bustling city.
Castle in the Sky!
This is the hottest topic among people in the past two days. Three sentences cannot be separated from this topic. The city in the sky, which has been hailed as a modern miracle, is full of mystery, attracting people's curiosity and interest in exploration. North American news on commercialization of entertainment Naturally, the world is not willing to lag behind, and major media companies have sent teams to Africa to take close-up shots of the city in the sky and transmit the real-time footage back to their countries. Play it for the public to watch, thereby increasing the ratings.
Helicopters that tried to approach the city in the sky were all hit by EMP, and all electronic systems were scrapped. Such a silent warning made media from all over the world watch from a distance and did not dare to approach.
At the same time, the United Nations office in New York is also attracting attention and is widely discussed by the outside world. What exactly is this city in the sky?
Does it belong to a certain country?
If not, then what is its status and nature in the world?
No head of state from any party came to New York, but representatives to the United Nations came forward to prepare for a meeting to discuss this emergency situation.
Even the President of the United States has never been to New York, as he seems to think too highly of the city in the sky.
But it is completely opposite to the tepid official attitude of the United States. Washington has been shrouded in a dark cloud. When senior military officials arrive at the white-house, it is unknown what content they will talk to the president's cabinet.
Under an overpass, there was a figure walking slowly on the sidewalk wearing a navy coat with his hands in his pockets. This person was Michael, and the river beside him was flowing slowly and calmly, making it uninteresting. In the distant hustle and bustle of the city center, you can vaguely hear the noisy sounds.
Michael sighed softly, he could imagine the people there marveling at the miracle of the Sky City.
There are large areas of abandoned warehouses on both sides of the river. Now a home for many homeless people, Michael calmly turned around and walked towards the depths of the warehouse. He walked down the spiral staircase. The air on the underground floor was uncomfortable. After going around and around, Michael came to an old door. In front of the door, he knocked twice with his fingers, then paused for three seconds, then knocked three more times, then paused for three seconds, and finally, he knocked on the door once.
Ten seconds later, the door opened, and a middle-aged woman stood inside the door. She looked mature and steady in strict clothes. She said expressionlessly: "You are late."
Michael nodded slightly and explained: "The timing of the incident was very unfavorable to us. There are many problems to be solved."
After hearing this, the woman turned around and took Michael inside, bypassing the entrance hall, and Michael walked into a room where seven people were sitting.
Five men and two women, plus Michael and the woman who brought him in, there are six men and three women, a total of nine people.
They are well-dressed and elegant, and most of them are between 30 and 50 years old. The youngest is an intellectual woman wearing glasses, and the eldest is a man in his fifties sitting in the middle against the wall.
Michael walked to the table, and there was something placed on the long table, a flag.
Different from the Stars and Stripes in the United States today, although the one on the table is also a Stars and Stripes, it only has thirteen stars in the upper left corner.
With the naked eye, you can see the age of the flag. The nine people present knew in their hearts that this flag has existed for more than two hundred years and is the first flag officially used in the history of the United States.
Michael put his hand on the national flag, closed his eyes and prayed, solemnly and sincerely sincerely.
People with souls should have pursuits and perseverance. Since Michael succeeded his father and became a member here, he has known that his life is??Inseparable from the national interests of the United States, although he must have a "real" false identity on the surface.
After praying, Michael walked around the table and came to the person sitting in the middle against the wall. The oldest man was smiling and looked suave. He stood up and hugged Michael.
¡°John, long time no see.¡±
"You are usually a mysterious and important person. I want to meet you, but I'm afraid no one can recommend you."
John and Michael looked at each other and smiled after letting go of each other. Michael smiled and said, "Really? I heard that your reputation has deteriorated a lot."
John said helplessly: "I can't help it, I'm just acting."
"No, I think you must be showing your true colors, a notorious playboy, haha."
After Michael finished his joke, nine people sat down at the table. Four people sat on each side of the long table. John was at the head. After he sat down, his expression changed and he was very serious.
Outside, everyone who knows him knows that John¡¯s name is John Washington! (To be continued.)
