Chapter 721: The Friendship of the Roosevelt Family
…
The Presidential Medal of Freedom is the highest honorable civilian medal in the United States. It is awarded annually by the President of the United States and ranks with the Congressional Gold Medal as the highest civilian honor in the United States. The recipient does not necessarily have to be a U.S. citizen.
It is awarded to civilians who have made outstanding contributions in the fields of science, culture, sports and social activities. It was first established in 1945 by President Harry S. Truman to commend civilians who made outstanding contributions in World War II. In 1963, John F. Kennedy
The president reinstated the medal and expanded the award recipients, revising it to be awarded to civilians who have made outstanding contributions in peacetime.
The Presidential Medal of Freedom is divided into two levels: the ordinary version of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which only has the ribbon, and the special version of the Distinguished Presidential Medal of Freedom, which has the star and the ribbon.
During World War II, 79 people in China received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, including Yan Xishan, Li Zongren, Gu Zhutong, He Yingqin and other famous generals during the Chinese Anti-Japanese War, and all of these 79 people were
soldier!
Liu Dong is not very interested in this so-called 'Presidential Medal of Freedom'. What he values is real benefits, not an ordinary piece of iron.
Moreover, if he hadn't happened to be on the plane this time, even if it had been hijacked by gangsters and crashed into the heart of the United States, the White House, Liu Dong would have just watched it!
"Mr. Roosevelt, let's not rush for your special Presidential Medal of Freedom. There are still four gangsters up there who have not yet been solved! Whether we can survive safely is still a matter of time to tell!"
Liu Dong's words calmed down DelRoosevelt. He also knew that Liu Dong was right and it was far from time to celebrate victory.
"Everyone, now we have eliminated all the gangsters in the main cabin, but the upper cabin and cockpit are still under their control. If we want to land safely, we must eliminate the gangsters in the upper deck and regain control of the aircraft.
, so we will launch an attack on the upper cabin soon. For everyone’s safety, please retreat to other cabins at the back!”
After Liu Dong finished speaking, the first-class passengers who had just been happy for a long time quickly retreated to the business class at the back.
Of course, some people who were grateful to Liu Dong came over to say a few words of thanks before leaving!
"Mr. Liu, no matter what the final result of this trip is. I am personally very grateful for your selfless help. If we can be safe, I am willing to repay your kindness in any way!"
After speaking in a sincere tone, this middle-aged woman in her thirties, who was not outstanding in appearance but had extraordinary momentum, turned around and left.
"Haha, Liu! You are really lucky to get her promise!" DelRoosevelt, who was left at last, patted Liu Dong on the shoulder and said.
"oh?"
Seeing the confusion on Liu Dong's face, Roosevelt said in surprise: "You don't even know her, right? Oh, that's right. You are Chinese, so of course you don't know much about American things!"
"The lady who just spoke to you is named Sally Krawcheck. She is now the president of global wealth and investment management of Bank of America. She is famous on Wall Street and is called the 'Queen'! She is also rated by "American Banker"
She is one of the "Top 25 Most Powerful Women on Wall Street" and was listed on the "List of the 100 Most Powerful Women in the World" by Forbes magazine in 2000...Any entrepreneur hopes to gain her favor. Because of this
Come they will be able to get more loans from Bank of America!”
Hearing this, Liu Dong glanced subconsciously at the slightly bloated back in the distance. He never expected that such an ordinary woman could actually be a financial queen!
Especially in a place dominated by men like Wall Street, holding such power shows that the other party is extraordinary.
You must know that Bank of America is the largest commercial bank in the United States in terms of assets; it is the third largest company in the world, even more amazing than the famous JPMorgan Chase and Citibank!
Moreover, U.S. banks manage more than two trillion U.S. dollars in assets, which is more than the entire GDP of China in 2001! The scale of funds is unimaginable!
Being able to serve as a senior executive in such a bank is not something everyone can do!
"It seems that my companies will be able to use some help to develop in the United States in the future!" Liu Dong thought to himself.
He is not a fool, nor is he an arrogant bad guy. Liu Dong is very realistic and understands that the right does not have to expire. If his company encounters financial difficulties in developing in the United States and needs a loan in the future, Liu Dong will definitely seek it out without hesitation.
This 'Queen of Wall Street' helps!
"But having said that, is this Roosevelt next to me...!"
Noticing Liu Dong's eyes, DelRoosevelt smiled and said: "Liu, if we can be safe, you will gain the friendship of the Roosevelt family!"
"Sure enough!" Liu Dong's heart suddenly jumped, and the excitement in his eyes flashed away.
In American politics, there are four famous families, namely the Adams family, the Roosevelt family, the Kennedy family and the Bush family.
In the Adams family, John Adams and John Quincy Adams, father and son, served as the second and sixth president of the United States. The former in particular was one of the four drafters of the United States' "Declaration of Independence" and served as the third president of the United States.
First term Vice President, second term President!
The Adams family is known as the "first royal family" in the United States. Like Hamilton, Taft, Harrison, Roosevelt, Kennedy, Bush, Rockefeller and other surnames, this family has accompanied the history of the United States for more than 200 years, and is the first father-son son in the United States.
President's family.
The Roosevelt family is the second largest political family in the United States after the Adams family. Theodore Roosevelt and Franklin Roosevelt, uncles and nephews, have served as presidents of the United States.
The famous "carrot and stick" expansionist policy of the United States came from the hands of Roosevelt. When this two-term president was in office, he defeated Spain, seized Cuba and the Philippines from them, and opened a new chapter for the United States.
The path to expansion beyond the Americas.
As for the latter, there is no need to say more! Franklin Roosevelt, the only strongman in American history who served four terms as president, dominated the entire World War II during his reign and directly brought the United States to the status of world hegemon.
Although the subsequent Kennedy family has only produced one president and is not as good as the Bush family, the Kennedy family is prosperous and has many family members engaged in politics, so its influence in American politics is stronger than that of the Bush family.
Being able to gain the friendship of the Roosevelt family, which is deeply rooted in American politics, is undoubtedly something that everyone envies. Anyone with such a network of connections will basically become a frequent visitor to the upper class as long as they are not too stupid.
Of course Liu Dong was just excited for a moment and then calmed down!
Although the Roosevelt family member spoke beautifully, there is still a question mark over how credible the old politician's words are.
What's more, Liu Dong is a Chinese with black hair and yellow skin.
Although American society is now more open than before, racial discrimination has not disappeared from this land that advertises freedom and democracy for more than a hundred years!
Liu Dong's instant calmness surprised DelRoosevelt. It was the first time that he saw a young man who could always remain himself in the face of such temptation.
However, DelRoosevelt didn't say much, patted Liu Dong on the shoulder and turned around to leave.
If you can’t survive, no matter how many promises you make, it will be in vain!
"You two take these two guns and go to the cabin at the back to maintain order. I can just go up there myself!"
After Del Roosevelt left, Liu Dong handed the two AK47s behind his back to Wilhanna and Green.
"Liu, are you sure you're fine?" Green asked after hesitating.
"Don't worry! And didn't you see it just now?"
Liu Dong was referring to the incident where he just solved the four gangsters behind the main cabin!
After hearing this, Wilhanna and Green also realized that the seemingly ordinary Chinese in front of them was actually a real super master.
And although the two of them are pretty good among ordinary people, they are far behind compared to the Chinese people in front of them.
"Take care of yourself, we believe in you!"
After speaking, Wilhanna hugged Liu Dong and walked toward the back with a gun on his back.
Green, who was cold-faced and warm-hearted, also gave Liu Dong a hug, and finally punched him on the chest with his fist before turning around and leaving.
After everyone left, Liu Dong couldn't help but thought to himself: "Is this what it feels like to be a lone hero? Although I enjoy it, this is really not a good thing!"
Shaking his head, Liu Dong warned himself in his mind that he would never do such stupid things again if it was not necessary.
Of course, this is a matter for the future, and now we have to solve the immediate troubles.
Through the relic Yuanguang, Liu Dong could see the situation in the upper cabin at a glance.
A middle-aged gangster is in the cockpit, two other gangsters are blocking the upward passage, and the remaining one is guarding the passengers behind the upper cabin!
"If you go up the spiral staircase, you will definitely be beaten into a sieve!"
Although Liu Dong is a very talented person and bold, he is not confident that he can break through the blockade of two AK47 assault rifles in a narrow environment.
Thinking of this, Liu Dong took two steps, closed the door between first class and business class, blocking the view of everyone behind him, and walked to the corner of the back of the first class cabin near the business class. His heart moved. Soon
The cabin steel plate above his head revealed a round hole with a diameter of 80 centimeters, which could only allow one person to pass through!
Seeing this, Liu Dong took a deep breath, bent his knees, and his powerful leg muscles burst out with amazing force, pushing Liu Dong's body straight through the round hole into the upper cabin.
