Chapter 63 Am I a flaw?

"Didn't you say you wanted to be with Adams last time?"

After silence.

Milo looked at his father and spoke.

Joseph shrugged and shook his shoulders gently. "Marrying Adams is our internal idea. But this does not prevent the outside world from thinking about it. Now let me tell you, the people who have contacted us and are interested in marrying us, in addition to Rockefeller, are Morgan, Mellon, and even Wilson and some others. Do you know why?"

Have I become so popular?

Or maybe these old giants can see that I am a reborn person and think I am a stock with great potential.

So everyone wants to invest in me in advance, everyone wants me to be their son-in-law? They are pretty good.

Seeing his son silent, Joseph spoke again, still asking the same question.

"Do you know why?"

Milo had actually thought of some of them.

But he shook his head and wanted to hear his father's explanation.

"You know, dear. JP Morgan has been planning to merge with Chase Manhattan Bank since last year. The only thing that can prevent them from merging is the Glass-Steagall Act."

Joseph said in a steady voice, "But since the 1990s, everyone has hoped that the Glass-Steagall Act would be repealed. It is the biggest obstacle to the advancement of Wall Street. So no one can stop the merger of JP Morgan and Chase Manhattan. It is just a matter of time."

"Then why did Morgan get closer to Rockefeller? No, I should ask why Rockefeller was gradually being eroded by Morgan?"

"Besides, we all know that Cleveland is almost in the shape of Mellon."

"Morgan and Mellon, how did they do it?"

Joseph has made it very clear, and the entire American upper class is actually aware of these things.

It's clear, but whether it can be prevented or whether it can be done is another matter.

Milo: "Marriage, and then slowly, little by little, infiltration."

“Haha~”

Joseph laughed and nodded, "It seems you know it very well. Now they also want to achieve the same thing on Blackburn as Morgan's cannibalization of Rockefeller, or Mellon's infiltration of Cleveland."

"And it's not just us. Rocky, Lawrence, Lowell, and many, many others have already been infiltrated by them."

Milo said calmly: "It seems that only Adams can still maintain their autonomy, but because of this, it is difficult for them to step onto the center stage."

"That's right." Joseph looked very pleased. "It seems you know it very well."

After saying that, Dad sighed again, looked at Milo, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

In the past, the Blackburn family was not actually afraid of this move.

At that time, they had a very outstanding heir.

Because Morgan and Mellon's pattern of encroachment and infiltration of Rockefeller and Cleveland had a very obvious disadvantage.

This kind of infiltration achieved through marriage must have a prerequisite.

That is the infiltrated, who is weaker than the infiltrator.

The person to be married to must be someone of very important status but with average abilities.

For example, the son of old vampire David, the fourth-generation Rockefeller heir Edward David Rockefeller, is Ariana's father.

This person's abilities are average. He is almost 40 years old and is not as good as his father.

Otherwise, the infiltrated may in turn control and influence the infiltrator.

And if the person being married off is capable enough, he may be able to influence or even control the person being married off through this marriage relationship.

A typical example is Uncle Milo's family.

His grandfather Herbert and Herbert's father.

These two people successfully influenced and controlled the originally powerful people through marriage.

Their marriage made the Shrub family even stronger.

When Blackburn had Paladin, no one wanted to use this trick on the Blackburn family.

They were afraid of being used by Paladin and eventually infiltrated by Blackburn.

Now... Paladin is dead.

The next generation heir of the Blackburn family.

He is Milo, a "famous" person in the circle, a typical second-generation playboy.

Hey, isn't this a typical good marriage partner?

He looked much worse than Edward Rockefeller.

And Blackburn is not as strong as Rockefeller.

It was for this reason that Joseph sighed and hesitated to speak.

Milo became the family's broken link.

Because of Milo, the family became a favorite in the eyes of those in power.

Although the Blackburn family is dispensable in terms of capital and business.

But in terms of religion and military influence, the Blackburn family is very powerful.

Little-known fact: the American military has no political commissars.

However, there are military chaplains in the US military.

At the beginning of the founding of the United States, there were only 15 chaplains in the entire U.S. Army. As the U.S. Army continues to develop, the team of chaplains is also gradually expanding.

Currently, there are about 3,000 active-duty chaplains in the U.S. military.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

In addition, the Army, Navy, and Air Force all have chaplain departments, chaplain offices, chaplain sections, and officer chaplains.

Moreover, the highest military rank for military chaplains is even major general.

For example, John Blackburn was one of the chaplains accompanying the American troops who landed in Europe during World War II.

His military rank before retirement was major general. Well, Paladin was also a military chaplain.

But when my brother retired, he was only a lieutenant colonel.

"Can't we refuse?"

Miloti suggested: "Why don't I just marry that Adams and stop other people from thinking of marrying me?"

"Not impossible." Joseph smiled, "But if that happens, I may never be able to get on the edge of becoming a senator. And you, my child, you may find it difficult to even get on the edge of becoming a representative of the House of Representatives. You know, we are all in decline, and the entire New England region is in decline. Morgan infiltrated us decades ago, and we fought back, even at the cost of uniting with the Old Believers. But you also know that we failed."

Milo couldn't help but frown, "Fuck, you're really helping vampires!"

"Go back."

Joseph shouted to the driver in front to stop the car so he could get into another one.

So as the convoy returned to Blackburn Manor.

If they were attacked, the father and son would not be killed together just because they were in the same car.

After changing cars in a safe place, the four cars changed their formation.

Only then did they leave the safety of Harvard Yard at a distance that was neither too far nor too close.

Sail to Plymouth outside Boston and return to Blackburn's home base.

4pm, Blackburn Manor.

The sky had been cloudy all day today, but there was some sunshine.

Sunshine is a luxury in winter, and most of the time it is not warm even when it is available.

Unless the wind is blocked outside the window by a glass window, the sunlight at this time will be very warm when shining on people, making people feel very comfortable.

The palace-style arched curtains hang low on both sides, and the special bullet-proof floor-to-ceiling windows in the house cannot be seen from the outside.

Milo lit a slender cigar, and the fragrant smoke came out of his mouth, floating in front of his face and the floor-to-ceiling windows.

On the desk in front of him was a financial edition of the Boston Post.

After returning home in the afternoon, he did an experiment.

Used to verify an idea that suddenly came to my mind today at Harvard University.

Amid the smoke, I looked at the faint sunlight outside.

Milo suddenly smiled.

Hey, they all treat me as a soft persimmon, a flaw, and a hot commodity.

But I am a favorite of the Lord acknowledged by eleven archbishops.

In that case, let’s see who infiltrates whom and who will have the last laugh!
