I love you, I won't kill you

For a moment, neither of the two people in the car had any intention of speaking.It seemed that Vincent was driving seriously, but he didn't know what was going on in his head.After squinting at her brother, Amanda pulled off the boat-shaped military cap to cover her face.

Half lying on the seat and covering his face with a hat, it was obvious that he was telling Vincent that he needed to take a rest.A huge question mark suddenly rose in my heart, "Matt Balfour. Who is this person? Let alone his senator status, how does he know everything about himself? Listen to Vincent's tone, It seems that he doesn’t know this congressman either. So, what about his father? Could this be his colleague in the navy? My father mentioned some of his former colleagues, either as a general, or as a civilian job in the Pentagon, or retired from active service Go to a military industrial enterprise as a military consultant."

After putting forward many ideas for herself, Amanda really couldn't figure it out.A little distracted, he pulled down his hat and said to Vincent, "What do you think of this letter? Does this person have any purpose?"

Vincent was also very curious about Amanda's training situation stated in the recommendation letter.He doubted whether someone inside the Pentagon had leaked the report of the Marine Corps training recruits.

When he asked about the commander of the base before going home today, Dana's expression made him more sure of his judgment.Colonel Dana admitted that after Amanda passed the first stage of training, someone came to the base to read her report.And during the following follow-up training intervals, he will also send the report by email to the woman who came in the Lincoln RV on time.

"Now it seems that all the questions are focused on that mysterious woman. What kind of connection does this woman have with Councilor Balfour?" Vincent thought carefully, and after hearing his sister's question, he said. "Oh, what did you say?"

"Damn! Captain, I'm talking about your opinion on this matter." Amanda was a little angry and shouted.

"Calm down, little angel. You want to tell me, is this congressman one of my father's navy colleagues?"

Amanda grinned at the corner of her mouth, tilted her face to the side and said, "You're right. Go ahead, Captain."

Vincent scoffed lightly, "Yes, sir. I can tell you very clearly that my father is not such a well-known person and knows some members of the Senate. What do you think of the members of the Senate and the House of Representatives? ?”

"Not much. All I know is that these guys are happy to have whatever comfort our taxpayer dollars give them. I mean no matter what they do, someone will pay for them."

"You are quite right. But there is a difference between the more prudent and aristocratic Senate and the House of Representatives."

Vincent also explained, "People often say 'the gatekeepers of the White House's internal affairs and foreign affairs', referring to the senators. Hehe, these guys have a number of powers that are listed in the Constitution but not granted to the House of Representatives. Representatives, You know, the so-called Speaker of the People's House in Congress."

"Hmph, I don't want to deal with some aristocratic senator. Now, I just want to know what this person wants to do and what purpose does this person have for me?" Amanda tried her best to suppress her emotions and stopped yelling at her brother.

The road sign that they passed just now reminded them that the car had passed the Orangeburg area at this time.As we got closer to the capital, Columbia City, there were more and more cars on the road.

Vincent comforted his younger sister, "Okay, don't be too nervous. Didn't this man tell us his purpose in the letter? He wants to recommend you to go to the Marine Corps officer academy. No matter what aspect you look at, That’s not a bad thing either.”

Staring out the car window, Amanda replied, "What if I don't want to go to officer school?"

What his sister said almost made Vincent step on the gas pedal to the bottom, and went directly to kiss the ass of the car in front.He stared at her twice and shouted, "What? God! Do you know how important this letter of recommendation is to you?"

Amanda hadn't thought about the meaning behind the letter of recommendation.However, she didn't like being controlled like this. "Really? So, did you have a letter of recommendation when you went to the Naval Academy?"

"No. If it wasn't for my grandfather's Congressional Medal of Honor, I might still be a shit sergeant on an aircraft carrier!"

Amanda is very clear that the Naval Academy is not accessible to ordinary people.Only those nominated and recommended by the Vice President of the United States, members of the Senate and House of Representatives, and regional governors and commissioners are eligible to be admitted to the Naval Academy.In addition, children of Congressional Medal of Honor recipients are eligible for inclusion without being nominated, as long as they meet the criteria for inclusion.

It was because of this Medal of Honor that Vincent was able to successfully enter the academy for advanced studies, and then became an officer of the Marine Corps. (In real life, some officers of the Marine Corps come from the Naval Academy. But most officers graduated from the Marine Corps Academy in Quantico.)
