Mr. Truman's wife, First Lady of the Commonwealth, Joanna.

She doesn't have any very prominent background, and she doesn't have the blessing of a big capitalist background, and she and Mr. Truman are not in free love.

At that time, the feminist movement had just begun to take shape. At that time, Mr. Truman was still serving in the army with the rank of captain.

Don't look at his father, his grandfather, his grandfather's father and his grandfather's grandfather are all federal soldiers, and they can be regarded as members of the family who have served in the army for generations, but the military ranks of each generation are not high.

But fortunately, serving in the army for generations has given them a very pure "military lineage", and the military is a very special group.

Dictatorship and xenophobia are their most basic labels. Mr. Truman has become an official member of the federal military group because of his pure identity.

He wasn't the type of soldier who enlisted, he went straight out of high school, starting straight as a sergeant.

Moreover, he and Peleus and other young and middle-aged members of the military were friends when they were young. Although his father, his grandfather, and his... ancestors did not have high military ranks, he did well in the army.

Before being transferred out of the army, he had reached the rank of colonel.

His father once said that their family was finally going to produce a general, but he didn't expect that it was not the general, but the federal president!

Of course this is what is happening now.

Joanna was born in a half-military family, and that would be the period when the capital boomed. When her parents had no hope of promotion, they planned to leave the army and go into business.

At that time, some people also chose to do so, including some politicians, who also gave up their identities as politicians and started doing business.

They have channels and contacts in their hands. If they can get resources, they will surely rise rapidly.

But considering that if the business fails, there must be a way out, so Joanna and her younger brother stayed in the army.

Later, her parents could not be said to be successful in business, because they did not rely on business to become a number of big capitalists.

But it can't be said that it was unsuccessful. At least her family is living a good life, which is more than enough.

When she was in the army, she was introduced to Mr. Truman, and later the two became husband and wife because they didn't dislike each other.

As for love?

This thing has been a luxury since ancient times. Only the rich can fall in love. The poor, the middle and lower classes of society, only consider reproduction and social appearance.

Men need a family that looks good so that they can be fully accepted and recognized by society, and so are women!

Although there is no love, there is still some family affection.

Mr. Truman is a workaholic, which is actually the case in the army, even though the federal army has not fought any major battles before this war.

But there are not many things where they toss themselves, such as training, exercises, and suppression of bandits.

The army needs to reflect its own value, and Congress will allocate funds. At the same time, those piles of military equipment will only be considered to buy new ones when they are consumed.

So he was also very busy at that time. As a middle-level officer, he was the most important link connecting the top and bottom of the army.

Later, he left the army and entered politics. After becoming an aide to the former president, he was also very busy.

The failure of the election was a heavy blow to both the former president and Mr. Truman, who had to find ways to find opportunities in the limited space.

Otherwise, if the former president successfully re-elected to step down, the former president will also disappear in front of the federal people like a background board.

As the loser's staff, Mr. Truman's life will not be too easy.

He worked hard and kept busy, and then the opportunity came.

The former president was impeached by Congress, the former president came to power, Mr. Truman was entrusted with important tasks, and he was even busier.

The former president was a person who knew how to enjoy himself. When he was free, he would go bowling or take a vacation to relax.

Mr. Truman is busy with work, domestic affairs, international affairs, and military affairs almost every day...

Until this moment, he has been busy contacting various foreign missions and diplomats every day, and communicating with many foreign heads of state on the phone.

He wants to formulate many policies of the country, and needs to make this country what he and more people think.

We must fight against the corruption and control of the cabinet by capitalist groups, and against the overt and covert resistance of Congress...

He was too busy, and it had been a long, long time since he and his wife had sat down and had a good chat.

He thought about it, the last time he and his wife were sitting on the sofa watching TV, eating junk food, and chatting, seemed to be more than ten years ago!

Maybe longer.

Some inexplicable guilt appeared in his heart. He watched Lynch want to say something, but finally closed his mouth.

Lynch sighed silently, "Investigate first, don't alarm anyone, how to do it..."

"Let's see the situation first!"

Lynch left quickly. He walked to the window and lit another cigarette. His eyes stayed on Lynch for a while, and then looked into the distance.

He thought about his wife, his daughter, and the future, and soon, he started thinking about some international changes, and then about work.

After Lynch came out, he called Noel.

This matter cannot be done by people from Blackstone Security. He is very clear that Blackstone Security is a sieve.

The military has arranged many people inside, the Ministry of National Defense has arranged many people inside, government departments have also arranged some people inside, and even other capital groups have also arranged some people inside.

These people don't necessarily want to do bad things, they just want to get first-hand information about Blackstone's security dynamics.

For example, if they have a new job, or in which area they want to launch military operations, they are both guarding against and learning.

So you can't use Blackstone security people to investigate. Once they investigate something, it is very likely that it will spread quickly.

Because there is no cost!

The most troublesome part of spreading rumors is that there is no cost. Even if the defendant is accused, at most it will be a public apology.

There is no fine, and I am willing to go to jail. The sentencing standard for defamation is not high, so the cost is extremely low.

No one dares to create a few rumors and talk nonsense at will.

People from Blackstone Security disclosed the news, at most they would be fired from the company and fined a sum of money. These costs are not comparable to the secret itself.

But those who use the Brothers Grimm are different.

Once the news leaks out, all the insiders are responsible, and it is enough to silence them.

The cost was too high, and the insiders dared not talk nonsense, and even took the initiative to maintain Lynch's secret, otherwise they might be implicated.

This matter is not an ordinary matter. Noel and Fern decided to do it themselves, and they were not at ease when handing it over to others. After all, the top dignitaries of the Federation were involved.

In the evening, Mr. Truman deliberately finished his work early.

Said it was deliberately early, but in fact it was after nine o'clock.

There is a TV in the bedroom of the Presidential Palace. Before he entered the bedroom, his wife silently turned off the TV, covered the quilt, and turned her body over, as if going to sleep.

Mr. Truman walked to the bed, sat down, and lit a cigarette, "We haven't had a good chat for a long time."

He decided to say something, he didn't like to be too passive.

Joanna didn't speak, she closed her eyes as if she was asleep.

But she obviously didn't sleep just now!

Before Mr. Truman walked in, he heard the sound of some TV programs, and he touched the TV by the way, it was hot.

This incident made it difficult for him to concentrate all day. After much deliberation, he felt that it was better to talk frankly.

"You know, I've heard some rumors recently..."

He looked at his wife with her back turned away, still silent.

There were also some slight changes in his eyes, the hand holding the cigarette trembled slightly, and the ash fell on the quilt.

He flicked it casually, and a cloud of soot was scattered by the flick. Not only did it not bounce off, but it also left some in other places.

He brought the ashtray and took another puff of cigarette, "...that you have a lover!"

Joanna opened her eyes, she was silent for a few seconds, "It's a lie, I didn't."

"You should arrest the person who spread the rumors, instead of asking me for confirmation with suspicion at this time!"

"No matter what I say, you will continue to doubt!"

Mr. Truman shook his head, "No, I'm not doubting you, nor asking you for proof, I just want to talk to you."

"I know I owe you a lot, from the past to the present..."

"in particular…"

Joanna sat up, and she turned to look at Mr. Truman, "As we said, don't talk about it."

"You made a foul!"

Joanna got up, hugged the pillow and quilt and left, there was a guest room next to her, she was going to sleep there!

Mr. Truman did not hold back, because he already knew the result.

What he said was actually Joanna's accidental miscarriage.

At that time, she was still working as a military nurse in the army, which was the only job that female soldiers could do at that time~lightnovelpub.net~ Unlike now, she would do jobs that only men would do.

At that time, an epidemic fever was prevalent in the Commonwealth, and it also had a tendency to spread in the army.

She was in the early stages of her pregnancy at the time, and Mr. Truman was out on a mission.

Her idea is to temporarily stop working and resume work after the epidemic has passed.

Mr. Truman believes that the epidemic will end soon, which means that there is no need to ask for leave for these things from the side.

Unfortunately, the number of cases in the army has increased, and the pressure on the hospital has also increased, so she has no chance to ask for leave.

In an accident, when she was packing up surgical items, her finger was cut by a scalpel she had just used, and she contracted an infectious disease.

The children were still very young at the time, three or four months old, so there was no point in keeping them alive. They chose to use specific medicines.

Since that time, Joanna has lost the possibility of having children again.

They always wanted a boy...
