Chapter 545 Candidate for the Next Throne (Second Guarantee)
but.

Mark ate some anyway.

After all, it was invited by Francis Underwood, the man of the House of Representatives, and everyone in Washington knew that Underwood was not such a kind guy.

soon.

The grilled ribs on the table turned into bare bones at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Compare the quantities.

Mark won by a narrow margin.

After wiping the corners of his mouth, Francis handed an Ohio newspaper placed next to Mark in front of Mark.

"what is this?"

"have a look."

After shaking his head with a smile, Mark took the newspaper that Francis handed over.

into the eye.

Walker appealed to Democratic loyalist black voters in Dayton, Ohio, on Sunday to help him "restore social and economic justice to America."

Garrett Walker.

Democratic.

The paper also said Walker told the more than 1000 parishioners gathered at Shiloh Baptist Church in Dayton: "My friends, this is the choice you should make in this election. to what kind of country and society we will have!"

Mark looked away from the newspaper, looked at Francis on the opposite side and said calmly, "Why do you let me read this?"

Francis also said lightly: "I accepted Walker's invitation to help you win this election."

Mark didn't speak.

It doesn't really matter to him who wins the election or who loses it.

Even if a monkey wins the election and sits on the local throne, Mark is still a giant in the FBI.

After a while.

Francis looked at the silent Mark and said: "After I helped Garrett Walker win the election and sit on the throne, Walker promised to appoint me as Secretary of State in return."

Mark glanced at him and said: "I remember when I came here with you for the first time, you said a word, don't believe what a politician says unless it falls literally."

Francis nodded.

Mark raised his eyebrows and said, "So are you sure that Walker will accept you as Secretary of State after he succeeds?"

"He has no choice, he needs my influence in the House."

"The same is true after being elected. Don't forget that it is easier to implement Walker's proposal in the House of Representatives than if you become Secretary of State."

"...he won't."

Francis Underwood frowned. Although what he said, he was already suspicious in his heart.

Which is more important, the Secretary of State or the House of Representatives?
On the bright side, it looks like the secretary of state.

But it's the House of Representatives.

Mark shrugged and continued to look at the newspaper.

The second page is full of Walker's criticism of the current president's policies over the past four years.

The current president stated that he will continue to promote the global anti-terrorism policy after being re-elected. Walker directly blamed this policy for the terrorist attacks that occurred in the past four years.

There are several more.

all in all.

No matter what the current president says, Walker is directly interviewed and publicly rebuts the situation exposed.

Mark read the words on the last page of the newspaper.

A recent poll conducted by the Joint Center for Economic and Political Studies showed that 70.00% of dark-skinned voters backed Walker, well ahead of the incumbent Mr. President, who is seeking re-election. …

The situation is a little tricky.

Mark thought so after folding the newspaper.

but……

Never mind.

Mark smiled and said to Francis: "I still don't quite understand what kind of meal you invited me to?"

Francis returned to his original appearance and said to Mark: "Help us."

Mark blinked as if he heard a big joke: "Are you kidding me? I'm a Republican, not a Democrat."

There is such a saying as the transfer sect.

But Mark didn't want to.

The republic itself means the superstructure, as for democracy?
Democracy is good, but let Mark mix with people of all colors. Mark would rather choose to become a non-partisan.

People can't collapse.

Mark reminded himself once again.

Francis shook his head and smiled, "Mark, if we succeed, we need an ally to stand by us."

"I'm the head of the federal branch, not the attorney general."

"...you will be after Walker is elected."

"..."

Mark, who was about to get up and leave, hesitated for a while, sat down again and looked at Francis in silence.

The president enjoys the highest executive power, and there is no doubt that he has the power to appoint and remove officials.

but……

"why?"

"you are my friend."

"I'm friends with a lot of people, no offense to Francis."

"Your qualifications are sufficient. Whether it is a terrorist attack or a major case, you can quickly solve it. The state of New York under your office is much more peaceful than other states."

"Haha, thank you for the compliment, but I'll forget it."

"……why?"

"I like New York. The climate here in Washington is a bit uncomfortable for me, and if you can get these, you should know that I am semi-retired after serving as the New York State Department."

"But your name is enough to deter them."

Mark smiled and shook his head and looked at Francis and said, "That's because I only stay in one place. If they don't come to mess with me, I won't go to them. This is the compromise you often say."

Francis: "..."

After all, Francis' temptation disappeared helplessly after Mark's interruption...

Night falls.

Mark sat on the sofa and watched a talent show on the TV.

Kate is cooking in the kitchen.

Mark's eyes were on the TV but his mind was absent.

Attorney General?

FBI bureau?
There is no question about this.

Does Mark want to mix with a presidential heir?
miss you.

But it's just a thought.

Handing the throne of the Attorney General into his arms, Mark would not even ask for it.

Not to mention that this is just a hypothesis.

Again.

Although the position of the Minister of Justice is good, an uneasy boss is always as troublesome as he wants.

A careless Attorney General can turn into a villain at any time.

The original world is still like this.

Let alone here.

half an hour.

Mark looked up at the food on his dinner plate and said to Kate seriously, "Kate, I'm a human, not a rabbit."

Look at what's on the dinner plate.

Anything but green is green, at most it's vegetables with a layer of gravy on top.

Kate smiled and said, "Is the grilled ribs delicious at noon?"

Mark was taken aback.

Kate grabbed the phone next to her and tapped it, then handed it to Mark.

Mark took a look.

Kate looked at Mark's expression and asked, "You don't know?"

Mark looked up.

Jingle Bell!
Looking at the caller ID of the phone, he shook his head and said to Kate: "You see, I seem to know it. Sure enough, the boundary of Washington can't stay long, and the most basic trust between people is gone."

Kate: "..."
