The legendary life of a manga

Chapter 391 Recruiting Maria Hill
Lake is quite confident about this invitation.

At the beginning, Lake tried to invite him once, but unfortunately Maria Hill went out at that time and failed to meet him. However, Lake thinking about it now may be a good thing.

Lake calculated that the probability of the invitation being rejected at that time was as high as 80.00%.

this time?
The success rate is about 80.00%.

reason……

Maria Hill is now serving as the judicial inspection commander in the Quantico Army Base. After all, although Lake once told Anna that the army respects strong men, including strong women, that is only for elite troops. .

For the ordinary army, discrimination against women still exists.

In particular, Maria Hill also served as the commander of the judicial inspection, not to mention, so, Lake felt that the success rate of this invitation was at least 80.00%.

the next day.

Lake drove directly to the military base outside New Jersey, and then took a military plane from there, chug-chug, pulled the cabin directly over Arlington County, and parachuted directly to the ground.

Boom!
Lake got up from his backyard, unfastened his parachute, and greeted Betty who seemed to be on the phone in the backyard: "Hi."

"I'll call you later."

Betty regained her senses, said something to the person she was chatting with, and then looked at Lake who fell from the sky with a look of surprise: "Brother, you are..."

Lake shrugged: "The special plane is still on the way back, so I found a helicopter and made do with it."

From luxury to simplicity.

I am used to flying on a private plane, and now I want Lake to take a passenger plane, even if it is a business first class, Lake is still a little reluctant. Although the helicopter is a bit bumpy, they are all comrades in arms, and they have a common language, so it doesn't matter. It is also a good thing to be able to collect some military anecdotes from the chat.

"Where's mom?"

"Talk to Mrs. John next door."

Betty regained her composure and said, then looked at the parachutes scattered in the courtyard, her expression became a little weird, and she looked at Lake: "Brother, you'd better clean it up quickly, if you let mom know that you gave her most beloved kumquat tree Make it like this, haha."

At the end, Betty couldn't help laughing when she thought about the treatment that Lake might enjoy.

Lake also chuckled, and walked towards the living room: "I know, so hurry up, my dear sister."

Betty's expression froze, and then she froze: "What?"

It's not me who parachuted home, it's none of my business.

Lake said without looking back: "If you don't accept it, I will tell the general where Bruce Banner is now."

Betty was shocked and turned around: "You can't know."

Lake stopped and turned to look at Betty with a mysterious smile on his lips: "Want to bet, my dear sister?"

Betty opened her mouth.

bet?
Gamble poorly.

Betty was silent for a while, glanced at Lake, gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, then quickened her pace, hurried to the place where Lake had just landed, and started rolling the parachute like rolling garbage.

Seeing this, Lake wanted to laugh even more.

Where could Bruce Banner go?

India chant.

This is not surprising at all. Although India has always been ridiculed by people from the East, in the Federation, the number of people who travel to India first is far higher than the number of people who want to travel to the East.

After all, Indian yoga is much more popular in the Commonwealth than cultivating immortals in the Eastern Kingdom.

So it's not surprising that Lake knew where Bruce Banner was going, and it had nothing to do with him arranging people to secretly monitor his sister Betty's cell phone.

Lake swore.

However, it is not surprising that Lake knew that Bruce Banner, who was self-appointed and went to India to hide because of guilt for destroying a block, got in touch with Betty again.

Even Lake didn't bother to intervene anymore, as long as Betty didn't go to India, or Bruce Banner didn't leave India, Lake could pretend he didn't see it.

Over time, there will always be problems.

Moreover.

Lake had some considerations when he didn't say anything at the time. For example, this time, wouldn't it be useful? If Lake didn't have any tricks, could Betty help him pack the parachute so obediently?
after awhile.

Lake walked to the door and took a look. After thinking for a while, he simply returned to the backyard with a glass of bourbon he had just poured, and said to Betty who was trying to organize the parachute, "What time will you vote tomorrow?"

"Nine o'clock?"

"The result is stable."

"how could I know."

"..."

Tomorrow, the Senate will vote on the newly nominated Minister of Education, that is, Karen Rose. If the number of votes exceeds 51, then Karen will officially take up her post. There will be a meeting at that time, which is to bring The family members showed up.

This is a big day for Karen, and it is also a big day for the Rose family. As we all know, Karen is very concerned about special days. If someone dares to be absent without reason, Karen will at least be nagging for the next three years. nagging.

"Where are my clothes?"

"Dad said he would bring it back for you in the afternoon."

Betty said so, then raised her head, and looked at Lake with something wrong: "No, why don't you just dance Quantico?"

Lake shrugged: "It's too far away, I don't want to cause trouble."

The latter sentence is the key point.

Lake feels that every time he returns to Washington, he will cause something to happen. If there is something about snakeskin in Quantico, which will directly or indirectly lead to Karen's big day tomorrow, then Lake feels that he will be in trouble in the next three years. Every year is going to be uneven.

and so……

For the sake of stability, Lake chose to jump straight to Arlington. From the moment of landing to the start of voting in the Senate tomorrow, Lake promised that even if he went out, he would go straight to his destination.

After half an hour.

After chatting with Mrs. John next door, Karen returned home and was surprised to see Lake, then glanced at Betty who was lying on the sofa, and asked directly to Lake, "Why didn't you let your sister pick you up?" ?”

Betty on the sofa rolled her eyes.

I have already rolled up the parachute for him as a free labor force, what else should I do, the professionals in the army who organize the parachute still have this subsidy.

night time.

General Ross also came back from Quantico base, and by the way, he brought a brand new colonel's uniform and handed it to Lake.

Karen, who was over there in the kitchen, said, "Do you need me to clean up your medals for you?"

Lake said: "I promise, each of my medals is brand new, ma'am."

"correct!"

Karen, who was holding a cooking knife, seemed to have thought of something, looked at the three people standing in front of her, and then looked at Betty: "Don't you also have a military uniform, it happens to be together, after you put it on, the three of you stand Let me see together."

Lake and Rose glanced at each other, indifferent to Karen's proposal.

Betty turned over from the sofa: "Mom, you must be joking."

At that time, in order to allow Betty to stay in the embassy more legitimately, and Betty herself was considered a military scientist, so Betty also had a military rank.

One lieutenant.

Of course, that's not the point.

The point is, after dinner, Betty, who was wearing the lieutenant's military uniform, opened her mouth and looked at the series of dazzling medals on the chest of her brother Lake and the equally rich medals of her father, General Ross.

Betty looked down at her poor medal, blinked her eyes, and said to Karen who was sitting on the sofa reviewing them: "Mom, can I not wear it?"

In fact, Betty still quite likes her military uniform.

but……

There is no harm if there is no comparison. Compared with the two people next to her, Betty feels like a shivering little Mengxin.

but……

On the second day, Betty was reluctant to wear military uniforms and went out together. This was because Karen considered the composition of family members. It was enough for one family member not to wear military uniforms. If there was one more, it would be a bit uncomfortable. It's so coordinated.

At ten o'clock in the morning.

The result is out.

Karen Ross passed the Senate with 65 votes in favor to officially become the new federal education minister.

in the corridor.

Lake, who was wearing a colonel's uniform, watched the protesting people outside, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Betty walked over from the side and looked: "These people are really busy."

Lake smiled.

Those people outside came to protest Karen Rose’s nomination. The reason is very simple. Karen has no previous experience in the education industry. The experience mentioned here refers to the kind of public education. Karen has, just The experience of private education, Karen is the director of several private education institutions in Washington, which leads to another point of contradiction.

These opponents feel that Karen's appointment will definitely stab the public education.

But if protests are useful, why is talkative a derogatory term?

Rose opened the door from the next room, looked at Lake and Betty over there and said, "Hurry up, I've sworn."

Lake and Betty regained their senses, turned and walked into the room.

After entering.

The media is already there.

On the stage, under the federal flag, Karen put one hand on the Bible and raised the other up.

"I, Karen Elizabeth Rose, do solemnly swear."

"I will support and defend the Federal Constitution against all enemies, domestic and foreign, with conviction and loyalty."

"I voluntarily assume this obligation, without reservation, and will never evade it. For the position I will assume, I will fully and faithfully perform it!"

"God bears witness!"

"..."

Under the flashing spotlight, after taking the oath, from this moment on, Karen Rose will also officially become the new Federal Minister of Education.

soon.

Lake, Rose, and Betty also took a group photo on the stage, and by the way, they took a little longer for the media.

afternoon.

Lake directly left Washington to deal with his own affairs.
