Chapter 1579 (1/2)

”Do you have a reservation, sir?”

”Someone was before me, Eisenhower...”

The waiter took him to the back of the card seat. Li Zitao also saw Eisenhower who got up and laughed heartily. ”Charlie, ha ha, come here and let me hold you.”

”Hey ”When did you become so sentimental? I don't want to be misunderstood.”

”Come here!” Eisenhower reached forward with both hands, gave him a bear hug and patted him on the back as if he had been waiting for it for a long time.

Li Zitao can perceive that he has experienced something, which makes him especially grateful for the present.

It was not himself, but something that changed his mind and attitude and made him feel happy about everything he had in his life.

”What's the matter?”

Li Zitao looked at him and said seriously, ”don't hide it from me. What's going on?”

Eisenhower fell into silence. After a long time, Eisenhower gave a grim smile: ”do you know I have two children?”

Li Zitao thought for a moment and said, ”yes, I know It was a tragedy. ”

Seeing his heartache to the extreme, Li Zitao said: ”no, don't tell me the tragedy happened again. It's not fair!”

”Yes, it's not fair, but that's the reality,” Eisenhower said with tears in his eyes

His little son left because of an accident.

I should have forbidden him to go I should not have allowed my friend to fly a small plane to Bermuda for a holiday.

”Dwight, come on, you don't want to.” Li Zitao held his shoulder and said with a heavy expression.

Li Zitao feels the loss of his beloved. Now, whenever he thinks about it, the gap in his heart seems to be infinitely enlarged, swallowing the whole heart in an instant.

That loneliness, loss, as if the whole heart is melting from the inside out, is enough to make anyone collapse to tears.

Eisenhower's hands are stained with blood. With one command, he can determine the life and death of countless lives.

For him, the withering of life should be a common normal.

But when life and death involves their own children, even he can not help but tears.

Holding the corner of his eye in his hand and wiping the tears out of his eyes, Eisenhower said with a smile, ”thank you, Charlie. You're a good man.”

Another old man sent a ”good man card.” for the sake of his son who had just died, Li Zitao generously chose to forgive him.

The atmosphere at the table fell into silence. When the wine was served, Eisenhower poured the wine for them and said, ”let's have a drink.”

”Cheers.”

Without any reason to celebrate or remember, Eisenhower's expression gradually returned to normal.

He put down his glass and smashed his mouth. Eisenhower's dinner cloth wiped his mouth and said, ”you know, I'm running for president.”

”Well.” Li Zitao nodded to show that he knew.

”My campaign believes that if I can expand my contribution and performance in World War II, coupled with a commitment to end the war, I can easily enter Washington.”

”What do you think?”

Eisenhower thought he was clear enough, but Li Zitao's rhetorical question made him not know how to answer it.

Seeing his hesitation, Li asked again, ”will the peninsula war end like a promise if you enter Washington?”

Eisenhower's instinct was to open his mouth and say ”yes.” but when he looked at Li Zitao's eyes, those words were stuck in his throat.

Eisenhower's inner thoughts have never been mentioned to anyone, but Li Zitao, on the other hand, seems to be able to see through his heart at a glance, making the excuse he wants to perfunctorily pale before he says it.
