Chapter 217 House of Cards Reception(2/3)

But from a real perspective in the United States today, this is not the case.

First up is Adams.

They produced the first pair of relatives to lead the nation in American history.

In the first hundred years of the founding of the United States, it was indeed extremely prominent.

Even now, they still have a certain influence.

But more than two hundred years later, their strength is actually not as good as before.

After World War II, their influence on this country has been severely weakened.

If we look at the current game, they can be ranked in the top twenty at most.

When talking about the four major families, we can only look at them from the perspective of their historical influence.

The same goes for Vossloh.

They have produced uncles and nephews as commander-in-chief.

This gives them a great historical status.

But that nephew Voslo, he had a "hobby".

That is this nephew Voslo.

He likes to eat capitalists, and it is said that he "eats" one capitalist a day

Well, this actually refers to nephew Voslo.

He is the only person in the history of the United States who has been elected to four consecutive terms as president.

For a period of time, he almost destroyed an American capitalist every day on average.

This gentleman wanted to reform even before World War II was over.

This reform has been erased from the traces and historical records of the United States.

If this reform is successful.

On the earth after World War II, there will be almost no place for capitalists to gain a foothold.

But he failed.

World War II is coming to an end and the Allies have won.

He passed away.

The cause was sudden cerebral hemorrhage.

After his death, nearly 80% of the reforms and paths he set were overturned.

The United States has gone to the other extreme.

Many years later, those who are interested can discover it.

Obviously there have been two great commanders in history, and they both appeared in modern times.

But after his nephew, there has been no Voslo in the American political arena.

Even Adams, a relic of the founding era, occasionally appears in the news.

But Vossloh really has no one left.

Is this disdain for descendants?

No, this is after nephew.

American capitalists will be involuntarily afraid when they see "Vossloh".

Since his nephew Vossloh, there has been no Vossloh in the United States.

They don't allow that kind of Vossloh!

That is to say, Vosloo left a rich political legacy, and the family was originally a top family in New York.

Otherwise, it doesn’t matter whether Vossloh still exists today.

Fortunately, decades have passed.

The magic of time heals fears and scars.

There are still very few words about "Vossloh" appearing in the media.

Otherwise, the younger generation like Jerlin Vosloo.

There is no way he would appear at a drinking party like tonight.

Abel, a young man, actually didn't know much about this.

And Jerlin Vosloo is so enthusiastic, he still has to deal with it even if he is just trying to make ends meet.

This scene fell in the eyes of many old New Yorkers.

"Oh~" An old man who was talking to Robert Morgenthau suddenly pointed at Abel and Voslo in the direction behind Robert.

"Look over there. Robert, that little guy looks like he doesn't know yet."

Robert Morgenthau turned around and saw Abel having a "happy chat" with Gerinen Vosloo.

This scene made Robert frown.

"Peggy." Robert suddenly said to the granddaughter beside him:

"Abel is here. You and he are friends, how about you call him over here to chat with us old men?"

Peggy was stunned for a moment, then realized something. She smiled and nodded, then turned around and went to the back to look for Abel.

Soon, Peggy Morgenthau took Abel, who was a little confused, away from Jerlin Vosloo and his wife.

After he left, Jerlin Vosloo couldn't help but sigh deeply.

His wife reached out to hold him and comforted her husband softly:

"It's okay, Jaylin. He's just a young man. Besides, we shouldn't come to such a drinking party."

Jerlin Vosloo smiled bitterly in return, but quickly cheered up.

He said: "Fortunately, I have you, my dear."

The couple held hands sweetly.

Abel followed Peggy and came to Robert's small circle.

There were all old men and women in the small circle, including Robert, and there were five of them.

It looked like two old white couples, and Robert and his granddaughter.

"Good evening, Robert, good evening, gentlemen and ladies."

Abel walked over and took the initiative to say hello to these old guys.

He didn't know them.

But Abel knew that none of the guys who could appear here tonight were simple.

"Hello, Mr. Smith. My name is Jacken Frelinghuysen, and this is my wife Linda Frelinghuysen."

Abel was moved when he heard that the other party's surname was relatively rare in the United States.

He remembered that in the United States Congress, there was a congressman named Frilinghuysen.

The reason why his memory is so clear is because he knows the Frelinghuysen family.

They are one of the famous "Congressional Families" in the upper echelons of the United States.

The so-called Congress families refer to those families in which Congress members often appear.

Statistics have shown that in one session of the U.S. Congress.

On average, more than 17% of members of Congress come from family members.

There are more than 700 families in the United States that have sent at least two family members to Congress.

Frilinghuysen is the leader among them. They seem to have produced five or six members of parliament.

Similar families include Harrison, Kennedy, Adams, Hamilton, Taft, etc.

The United States announced to the world that they had long abolished the hereditary system of aristocracy.

But they didn't tell the world that they had done something else.

The effect is even better.

"Hello, Mr. Frilinghuysen, and Madam. I am Abe Smith." Abel smiled and shook hands with the other party.

Then there was another pair of old guys, the other's name was Huck Taft.

After the greetings, Jaken Frelinghuysen said casually:

"Mr. Smith, are you friends with Jerlin Vosloo?"

Abel didn't know why he asked this, but he didn't actually know Jerlin Vosloo.
