As a branch of the Roosevelt Family, although their father had died, their family had grown, and now, it was ti for another powerful figure to step up and lead the Roosevelts forward!
Although Franklin Roosevelt was also part of the Roosevelt clan, after all, they didn't belong to the sa direct lineage, and their political parties were different as well.
Theodore Roosevelt's line were staunch Republicans, while Franklin Roosevelt had switched from the Republican Party to the Democratic Party and had beco a committed Democrat.
So, young Theodore Roosevelt already saw himself as the second generation leader of the Roosevelt Family.
Naturally, he also wanted to beco the President of the United States, just like his father had.
Therefore, young Theodore Roosevelt was also preparing to run for Governor of New York State. Your next read awaits at My Virtual Library Empire
To run for Governor, you need votes, and for votes, you need sufficient political resources!
Atlantic City Broadcast made a na for itself in Harding's successful presidential campaign.
Young Theodore Roosevelt naturally did not want to give up this opportunity either!
"Haha, since your relationship with my sister is such here, and just as my sister said, if I don't help you at this ti, who else can?"
Having said this, young Theodore Roosevelt stood up and said to Donnie, "Don't worry about it, I will definitely help you. I still have so influence in the Navy!"
Donnie also stood up and laughed: "If that's the case, then I'm really grateful to you, Theo!"
In fact, Donnie had one more matter concerning young Theodore Roosevelt, which was the real thing Donnie wanted to do. However, it wasn't the ti yet; the matter required a closer relationship between the two before it could be brought up!
After the matter was discussed, Donnie, using the excuse of young Theodore Roosevelt being weary from his travels, took Alice and left.
Upon leaving the Ritz Hotel, the smile on Alice's face was gone, and she even seed a bit lancholic as she said to Donnie, "I want to drink, accompany , will you?"
At this mont, Alice had lost the usual vivacity and the superficial arrogance, resembling a wounded little girl.
Donnie nodded and said, "Let's go ho to drink!"
"Mhm!"
Alice leaned on Donnie's shoulder, saying not a word.
Alice was clearly not in a good mood; once they got ho, she downed a glass of whiskey Donnie had poured as soon as it was handed to her.
Donnie didn't ask her why, simply keeping her company while she drank.
Drinking like this, Alice quickly beca sowhat tipsy.
"Donnie, do you know? I'm really envious of Helen!"
There, Alice sat, her eyes blurry as she swayed the wine glass in her hands, speaking calmly.
"Although their family also considers political marriages, at least her family truly cherishes her, but I... seem to have no more family left!"
It was apparent that Alice and Helen had beco the top two socialites of high society not rely because of their looks.
And today, through young Theodore Roosevelt's actions, Alice saw that she had always been nothing more than an unimportant bargaining chip to the Roosevelt Family!
"If it were Robert Taft, he would have been more straightforward with you about these conditions today, rather than using as the first bargaining chip to test the waters!"
As she said this, Alice looked at Donnie with slightly reddened eyes and asked, "I really wish I could be more foolish, unable to discern the aning behind Theo's words!"
Donnie gently rubbed Alice's head, calmly saying, "If you like, this place can be your ho, and I can be your family!"
Alice stubbornly brushed Donnie's hand away, trying hard to feign indifference: "I know, you must also value the Roosevelt Family behind , right? If not for my surna, given your nature, you would have made a move on already; the reason you haven't is that you want to gain more from the families behind Helen and , right?"
Donnie leaned back on the sofa without denying her words and nodded, "I cannot deny this. Both the Roosevelt and the Taft Families are huge presences for right now.
If I want a better developnt in the United States and to encounter less resistance, then indeed, having the help of these two families could bring more convenience!"
Alice, who clearly wanted to vent her feelings today, laughed disappointingly: "As expected, you are all the sa. Can't you just lie to ?
You know, if you lied to , I would definitely choose to believe you!"
Donnie, holding the wineglass, tapped his fingers lightly on the glass: "I don't want to lie to you, or rather, there's no need for to lie to you here. I haven't finished what I was saying just now; the Roosevelt Family can indeed provide with more help, but their help is not essential.
If I can't buy ships decommissioned from the Navy, can't buy from the Roosevelt Shipyard, I can purchase from other shipyards. There are so many shipyards in the United States; not every shipyard does business with the Navy.
But you are different, you are my friend, and a friend I truly care about. If I lie to you about these kinds of things, then I don't really consider you my friend.
