Rise of an Empire
Chapter 186: Palace Scheming (Part )
As Conrad's maid, Tina certainly knows what she can and cannot do.
There was no need to think about fighting for favor. If she dared to do that, Tina was sure that the maid would be the first to spare her.
And she also understood that even if she was really accidentally killed by the head maid, the Duke would probably only verbally reprimand the other party at most, and there would be no substantial punishment at all.
But well
Although she needs to pay attention to some aspects, in other aspects, Tina is quite satisfied with her current life.
As long as you don't fight or grab, and don't worry about things that shouldn't belong to you, your life will actually be happy.
She has several servants dedicated to serving her, and she has tens of thousands of pocket money every month. When the Duke is not calling, she can do whatever she wants.
When it comes to the quality of life of the women around him, Conrad has never been stingy. Since you can't give women spiritual sustenance, if you can't even provide material support, why do you have women to be devoted to you?
Is it purely a threat of force? Then doesn’t it mean that you have to keep your eyes open when you sleep?
So even Sharon Tate is very satisfied with her current life.
Eavesdropping on the conversation between Linda and Conrad was the kind of thing Tina could do.
After all, if the Duke really talks about any secrets, he will never do it in the living room.
What's more, if I can hear some useful information and report it to the head maid, it will be considered a small feat.
So Tina crept upstairs. After living with Conrad for five years, she certainly knew where the best eavesdropping effect was.
It was only when she sneakily climbed to the railing that she was shocked to find out.
It seems that the best position has been taken first.
Looking at the butt facing her, Tina immediately recognized who it was.
Why is this woman here?
She was a little surprised that the other party had always been hiding in her own courtyard and rarely went out. Although they had lived together for three or four years, they had only seen each other a handful of times. Tina did not expect that she would meet here. she.
After all, Weeting Manor is now a luxurious building covering an area of 14 acres, with a construction area of nearly 30,000 square meters. If those who live in the east and those who live in the west deliberately avoid meeting, it is possible that they will never encounter each other in their lifetime.
Ruiwen lay in the corner and secretly observed every move below. Even she couldn't explain why she had to be so secretive.
It had been four years since he was forced to come here, and the remaining love for Charles and resentment towards Conrad in his heart had begun to slowly dissipate with the passage of time.
If at the beginning, Raven still wanted to cut a certain bastard into pieces, now she could no longer do it without realizing it.
Even if someone sleeps in her room several days a month, he can do it at any time if he wants to.
But although she seems to have accepted this life, you asked Raven to bow her head to Conrad and admit defeat.
That is absolutely impossible.
She is a dignified Raven Darkholm, and she will not bow to some evil forces.
But it's okay to secretly inquire about a certain bastard's situation.
Raven warned herself like this in her heart.
She clenched her fists. She was searching for enemy information, and she was definitely not trying to find out what kind of person the hostess who came through the door would be.
"It seems your dad is going to get serious this time."
When Tina squeezed in beside Raven, Conrad in the living room also hugged Linda, who was sitting over, into his arms and pointed at Lyndon who was giving a speech on the TV.
"Well, this incident was quite big. I remember daddy even smashed his beloved set of china." Linda originally wanted to complain to Conrad, but when she heard him say so He said, so he had to change his tone quickly.
"Um, I can't tell." Looking at Lyndon chatting on the TV screen, Conrad thought about how he looked when he learned that the Soviets were participating in the war a few days ago, and couldn't help but smile.
Cheap father-in-law, although I have tricked you this time, I have also given you the opportunity to become the greatest President of the United States in history.
Lyndon took over directly after Kennedy's death. Originally, he was just a stopgap measure introduced by the major plutocrats. No one originally expected him to be re-elected.
However, because of his victory in the Vietnam War, Lyndon's voice in the hearts of the people became too high, allowing him to be re-elected with an overwhelming advantage.
Although there are still more than two years left in Lyndon's term, it is far from enough for Conrad.
Having such a cheap father-in-law who can negotiate everything as president would be of great help to Conrad in any aspect. If possible, Conrad even hoped that he could be the president until his death.
It’s just that since Washington refused to be re-elected for a third term, no president in the United States has been able to serve a third term, except for Roosevelt during World War II.
Therefore, Conrad tried to promote this war and plunged the United States and the Soviet Union into the quagmire of war.
In the original time and space, the United States was fighting in Vietnam with an unspeakable mysterious power. However, although it did not want to admit it, at that time, that mysterious power was still at a comprehensive disadvantage compared to the United States in every aspect. Americans did not think that fighting What are the benefits of winning against the other side? In other words, when the United States withdrew its troops from Vietnam, all Americans did not feel there was anything to be ashamed of.
It is naturally embarrassing to lose in a fight to someone of your own age, but if an adult loses to a primary school student, everyone will look at each other and smile, thinking that the adult did it on purpose. Even the losing adult may feel the same way. .
But this time, if the United States wants to withdraw its troops, even if Congress agrees, it still depends on whether the American people agree.
The Soviet Union is the current bipolar world of the United States. It is also known as the world hegemon like the United States. If the two of them come to grips with each other, it will be a major event that affects the world structure.
Now the Vietnam War has changed from an insignificant regional conflict to a key battle concerning who is the leader of the world.
The United States finally took advantage of the Second World War to become the leader of capitalist society. If it dares to give in at this time, do you think the old capitalist powers in Europe will still recognize this new leader?
So the moment the Soviets took action, Conrad knew that his plan worked.
If it's just a small fight, then Lyndon will definitely step down when his term is up.
But now
Who dares to change the president during a war with the Soviet Union? Is it too long for his life?
