Three hundred and forty. Presidents and Ministers
Speaker Bankhead William Brockman was undoubtedly happy at this time, and this was his second re-elected as Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives.
Of course, he also knew very well who had the greatest contribution behind this.
The Wittgenstein family is really a low-key family, even so low-key that it is terrifyingly low-key.
They never show off their faces, but as Speaker Bankhead knows, this family controls a large number of enterprises and banks in the United States, Britain, France and other countries behind the scenes.
Bankhead knew even more that what he knew was just the tip of the iceberg of this huge family.
And being able to get their favor is undoubtedly a happy thing.
It is said that the family is not prosperous now, and the men have died for various reasons. Now they are the heads of two women:
Hermione Wittgenstein and Rolisa Wittgenstein.
These are two women with great wealth and power
Bankhead held a small, purely private banquet today. There were not many guests invited, all of them were Bankhead's partners and very good friends.
These guests all had some absent-minded smell, as if they were waiting for something.
In fact, it's not necessary for them to say that Speaker Bankhead also knows who they are waiting for:
The most mysterious, said to be the most noble, and the most charming Madame Rolisa.
"Mrs. Hermione Wittgenstein, Mrs. Rolisa Wittgenstein is here!"
When the sound rang, everyone looked at the door
When Hermione and Madame Rolissa came in together, guests who had seen or had never seen before made a low call in their hearts.
Time seems to be trying hard to leave marks on Madam Luo Lisha's face, but that beautiful face may have obtained the mysterious power from hell, and stubbornly rejected the erosion of time, and is still so smooth, young and beautiful.
Even so beautiful that people look at it directly.
In the West, there is a legend that when the attendant of the Death God collected enough souls for him, the Death God could give him an immortal body, and in order to avoid being lonely in eternal life, the one he loved could remain youthful forever.
This is just a legend, a legend that has been circulated from Danish myths.
But now, these guests have seen it with their own eyes
In fact, there is nothing particularly magical about this, it is just that the superior environment and good maintenance of Madame Rolissa have given the Countess some "reverse growth". There are many such examples in real life.
But Madame Rolissa's nobility and mystery reminded the guests of this Danish mythology.
The admiring eyes of men and the envious and jealous eyes of women have already shown their current mentality very well.
Madame Luo Lisha quickly conquered all the guests on the scene with her beauty, nobility and mystery. Hermione, this woman with endless wealth, seemed so dull, just followed Madame Luo Lisha silently.
But not many people know that for so many years, Hermione has been protecting Mrs. Rolisa on behalf of a man.
"Mrs. Hermione, Mrs. Lolisa, it's so honor for me to come." Seeing the two Mrs. Wittgenstein appear, Bankhead felt that this was a perfect dinner.
He welcomed them in enthusiastically and introduced them to the guests who arrived tonight. Wherever he went, he looked envious.
At this time, the piano music started to play, and Bankhead noticed that Madame Rolissa had moved slightly: "Madame Rolissa, do you like this song?"
"Yes, I like it." Madame Rolissa did not hide her emotions at all: "Midsummer Night's Dream, the greatest German musician, Mendelssohn."
This piano piece reminded her of her first exchange of music with someone
"Shouldn't Germany's greatest musician be Beethoven?" Bankhead asked curiously.
"He is equally great, but in my heart, Mendelssohn is the best." Madame Rolissa said lightly: "Someone once told me that if Mendelssohn had not left us too early, he might have become the greatest musician in German history. I completely agree with this sentence."
Bankhead had no idea what Madame Rolissa meant: "Ah, yes, Germany is such a strange country, rigorous and meticulous, but it also produces musicians and artists."
At this time, a man walked in, interrupted their conversation, and said a few words in Bankhead's ear. Bankhead's expression changed slightly, but he had nothing to hide in front of the two Mrs. Wittgenstein, and he also whispered: "Mr. President is here."
The two wives Wittgenstein just nodded slightly. In their eyes, a president is no big deal.
US President Franklin Delano Roosevelt did not appear directly in the living room, but was invited to a small reception room through the side door.
As soon as I saw Bankhead and two Mrs. Wittgenstein, Roosevelt said humorously: "Hey, a Speaker can't invite me, but when I heard that Mrs. Wittgenstein would also appear, I came in a wheelchair regardless of my wife's jealousy! When I saw Mrs. Rolisa, countless men in the United States would be jealous of me because of this."
Bankhead, Hermione and Mrs. Rolissa couldn't help laughing.
To be fair, Roosevelt is a funny person.
"Okay." Roosevelt spread his hands: "I can't lie in front of the beautiful lady. Yes, I came to thank both ladies. If it weren't for your generosity, maybe my journey to re-election wouldn't be that easy."
"We just helped the United States select the best president." Luo Lisa said with a smile.
"Look, who said that only men can speak whispers, and such charming ladies can be so funny." Roosevelt's interest became even higher.
Hermione smiled beside her.
"We just helped the United States choose the best president." This sentence is just right and does not disgustingly flatter Roosevelt.
And this is just a trivial matter for Mrs. Luo Lisha. Even an emperor and an empress will be impressed by her.
"We just talked about Germany." When several people sat down, Madame Rolissa spoke, "How did the President think about Mendelssohn and Beethoven?"
What a smart woman! Roosevelt couldn't help but exclaim in his heart.
The Wittgenstein family spent a huge amount of campaign funds to be re-election for him, but Madame Rolissa did not mention it, but instead talked about German musicians.
Such a woman is awe-inspiring
"Ah, I don't know much about music," President Roosevelt replied.
"So how much do you know about Germany?" As if expecting the other party to answer like this, Mrs. Luo Lisa asked another question with a smile.
"A country with very strong vitality." Roosevelt thought for a moment: "It is hard to imagine that a country that was so difficult after the failure of the war could rise again in such a short time. If we only look at this point, German is undoubtedly a nation worthy of respect for everyone."
Speaking of this, he paused: "But, it is said that their head of state is very crazy and often does even more crazy things driven by crazy thoughts. To be clear, Germany is an unstable factor in Europe. The shadow of the previous failure made them eager to take revenge. I can even say that there is a possibility of a war in Europe."
"No, no." Bankhead immediately refuted the president's words: "My opinion is the opposite. The Germans will not have a second war. They suffered too much the last time. Does the President think that Germany can face challenges across Europe at the same time?"
"That might be true, God knows they will do something." Roosevelt still firmly on his opinion.
This is Mrs. Luo Lisa who said slowly: "Actually, I suggest that the President and the Speaker can go to Germany to see it. Germany is definitely not as you imagined, and their heads of state are not crazy. At least in my impression, it is a big boy who always speaks and does things."
"Oh, Madam has seen the German Head of State?" Roosevelt asked curiously.
"Yes." Madame Rolissa did not deny it: "It was a long time ago, and the war was still going on. I went to Germany to visit a friend of mine and met Adolf Hitler by chance."
"People change." Roosevelt said this and then smiled, "Why should we argue about this? The German incident happened in Europe, not in the United States. Let's talk about something more interesting."
Hermione said: "There is an interesting thing, tomorrow is my birthday."
"Ah, happy birthday to you," said Roosevelt and Bankhead at the same time.
"Thank you." Hermione nodded very politely: "I will hold a masquerade party on my estate. Are the President and Mr. Speaker interested in attending?"
"I swear no one can refuse such an invitation." Roosevelt sighed regretfully: "But tomorrow, those damn bureaucrats will report to me, but it is still a haunting night. I really can't get the time. Mrs. Hermione, please accept my most sincere blessings and the most sincere apology."
Bankhead immediately accepted the invitation and asked, "Does this costume dance have a name?"
"Yes." Hermione smiled slightly and said:
"Baron Night!" (To be continued. Please search for Piaotian, novels are better, updated and faster!)
