There was no doubt that this was a very successful rescue.
When the rescued astronauts expressed their sincere gratitude during the interview and their tearful phone calls with their families, it deeply touched every UA citizen who paid attention to the Ares incident.
On Twitter.
On Facebook.
Major social media in the UA were discussing this incident.
"Celestial Trade is not as evil as the Capitol condemns."
"Maybe we have some misunderstanding, or maybe the politicians in the Capitol should explain this?"
"Thank God, in any case, it's good to be safe …"
"Joseph Kennedy, good job!"
"The Ares incident has once again exposed the incompetence of our bureaucratic system. From NASA ignoring the warning of Celestial Trade, to the failure of the diplomatic negotiations between the Secretary of State and Celestial Trade on the rescue issue, to the Capitol blaming Celestial Trade for not saving the astronauts … In the end, the person who saved the seven astronauts turned out to be a B City Councilor. "
"What a terrible term, fortunately, it's coming to an end!"
"President Kennedy is the president with the highest approval rating in UA history … I hope Kennedy is as wise as his great-grandfather."
If the entire incident was sorted out, it was probably Joseph Kennedy's visit to Xin, launched volleyball diplomacy with Jiang Chen, and finally succeeded in "persuading" Celestial Trade and became friends with Jiang Chen himself. Celestial Trade sent troops to rescue and successfully rescued the astronauts from Ares.
It was widely analyzed that if Joseph Kennedy was elected as the UA president, he would be able to repair the increasingly tense diplomatic relationship between the UA and Xin, reverse Hill's failure in returning to the Asia-Pacific and space strategy, collapse the iron curtain between the East and West Pacific, and bring the UA and the world in a better direction …
"We were fooled!"
Morgan looked at the newspapers on the table and fell into deep thought.
He had imagined many scenarios, but he did not expect B City Consortium to be in contact with Future Group.
After the collapse of the Freemasonry, the WASP "Hoofwinkle" Alliance lost the foreign enemy, the Jewish Consortium. Wall Street was under the control of the Anglo-Saxons, so Morgan even had the illusion that he had replaced Rothschild and become the emperor of the financial world.
No, it was not an illusion.
If his assets and the assets he got from Rothschild were added together and converted into USD, he was indeed the richest person in the world.
However, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have underestimated the man on the other side of the ocean.
"You mean …" Morgan looked at the man standing in front of the desk and said softly, "We have lost?"
He was the treasurer of the Kerry campaign as well as Morgan's informant in the Kerry campaign.
Originally, Kerry and Joseph's support rate was equal, but because of the Ares incident, the scales of victory had tilted.
The man nodded stiffly.
"If nothing unexpected happens, the winner of the preliminaries has been decided. All that's left is the final vote."
According to the latest polls after the Ares incident, Joseph's party support had increased from 27% to 39%. This number was quite shocking. After all, in addition to the three most promising candidates, there were also several other candidates who had their own supporters.
Unless …
Unless something unexpected happened to the Kennedy family's curse …
A hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes, but it quickly faded away.
Morgan shook his head and threw the thought to the back of his mind.
Making a move against Mr. Kennedy at this time was purely because the UA didn't have enough IQ. What's more, it wasn't the Cold War era, and there was no Bay of Pigs incident as a prelude. It was easy to kill a person, but it wasn't so easy to wipe the blood off your hands.
What's more, although the B City Consortium was weak, it wasn't a pushover. The security force around Joseph was at least at the quasi-presidential level.
After all, the candidate they supported seemed to be only one step away from the throne of the president.
A sneer appeared on his face.
Morgan picked up the phone, pressed a few buttons, and called his "old friend" Rockefeller.
The phone rang twice before it was quickly connected.
A familiar and annoying voice came from the other side.
"Hello?"
"It's me," Morgan said emotionlessly.
A cheerful and old laughter came from the other end of the phone.
"Haha, my old friend, I just made a bet with my wife that you would definitely call me."
"It seems that you won the bet?" Morgan said in a sarcastic tone.
"No." Rockefeller shook his head and said calmly, "The ending is always unexpected, isn't it?"
In contrast to Morgan, Rockefeller and his allies in the Middle East placed their chips on Hill from the beginning. However, since the confrontation on the warship in the second half of last year, the Hill government didn't seem to be lucky. Rockefeller could only express his helplessness at this result.
It could even be said that since the beginning of this year, he actually didn't have any hope for this preliminary election.
"Really? It seems that the king of cards also has times of failure. "Morgan laughed.
"What about you? Did you win again? "Rockefeller asked with a faint smile.
"No, so I found you." Morgan's tone became serious. "Let's join forces."
"Join forces?" Rockefeller raised his eyebrows.
He could vaguely guess what Morgan was going to say next.
"That's right." Morgan simply said, "If Joseph Kennedy comes to power, it will definitely be a nightmare for our military-industrial complex. In order to resist the pressure of the new Cold War era, we must send more troops to Europe, the Middle East, and our allies in Asia, instead of promoting reconciliation. The UA has always been, and can only be, a bald eagle, not a pigeon. "
"So you want to add another chapter in the history of the Kennedy family's curse? With all due respect, this may be a worse choice. "Rockefeller shook his head.
"No, no, no, my old friend, do I look like that kind of irrational person? After the primaries, there is an election! Although we lost the primaries, we can continue to bet on the election! "A sneer flashed across Morgan's face.
"That person is not easy to control. Although he doesn't have as much money as you and I, he definitely doesn't lack money." Rockefeller shook his head vigorously. "And listen to his campaign statement, representing the interests of all UA workers? Killing Wall Street? He's not a Republican, he's clearly a Communist — "
"But he's an out-and-out hawk! That's enough! " Morgan's finger tapped on the table and said firmly, "You and I both know what is the core of our interests! Even if a pig sits in that position, it is definitely better for us than Joseph Kennedy sitting there! "
