It must be said that Rogers was not destined to become President of the United States.

He is an exceptional politician, with public acceptance and the support of influential associates.

However, the woman scandal emerged as an obstacle on the path of his life's progress.

In fact, Roger Stanton does not consider himself to be the Italian Casanova who was so effeminate that he was included in the list of the world's most evil men.

The woman who was said to be his destiny only came up once, and the rest of the time he was good enough to be considered an "ideal husband."

Sin Tan is a handsome man. He is also a rich man. He is also a man who aspires to rise to the highest levels of importance.

He cheated on his wife and had opportunities to have affairs with many women behind her back.

However, he never even imagined having another woman besides his wife.

Elizabeth, the wife of Roger Stanton, was a beautiful woman, sociable, intelligent, and had the same tastes and opinions in everything.

The woman with whom Stanton fell in love was Barbara, five years his senior. She was not beautiful, but she had a lovely face. They had married after the divorce of Stanton's husband, Roger and Elizabeth, had been the talk of the newspapers.

It's not like Stanton and Barbara got along in every way. Stanton was an athlete, but Barbara hated all things athletic.

While Stanton enjoys hanging out with his friends, Barbara prefers to be alone with Stanton.

Sometimes, they don't want to have any social gatherings, except for a few people and a reception. What surprised the friends of the couple was none other than the differences in their political views. The couple was a broad-minded "liberal" while Barbara came from a narrow-minded "conservative" family.

Paul Ellison, a close friend of Stanton...

"You are a good person, you and Elizabeth are a perfect couple, without any flaws. Don't you think that this divorce will be a thorn in your path in life?" he had said to Stanton. Stanton replied in a light-hearted tone.

"It's okay, Paul, I love Barbara more. Half of all marriages in this country end in divorce. It's impossible."

However, the situation did not turn out as he had expected.

The newspapers attacked his divorce for a long time. The tabloids, which were prone to exaggerating the news, wrote endlessly about Stanton and Barbara's love affair, complete with photographs.

When these slanderous writings stopped, Stanton Roger's influential political friends found a new hero for themselves.

This person is none other than Stanton Rogers' close friend Paul Allison. Allison is a man of solid qualities. He is not a handsome man like Stanton Rogers. He is likable.

The background is also correct. He is short, has blue eyes, and has been married for about ten years. He even has a daughter.

He and his wife, Alice, were widely recognized as a happy couple. Roger and Paul Allison grew up together in New York City. Their parents built a summer home together on the outskirts of St. Petersburg.

The two young men, who were childhood friends, swam together. They played baseball together. Later, they dated their girlfriends and even dated each other.

They were in the same class at Yale University and the same at Harvard Law School. Paul E. Leeson was a brilliant student. Stanton Rogers was a very popular student.

Upon leaving law school, Rogers steadily rose to prominence in the political world.

If Stanton was the comet, Paul Allison was its tail. However, Stanton Rogers' divorce changed everything. Stanton Rogers is now Paul Allison's next-in-command.

Paul Ellison's bid to become president lasted nearly fifteen years. At first, Ellison was known as a very eloquent senator. He denounced government waste and the evils and weaknesses of the bureaucracy.

He became a popular figure. He believed in peaceful relations, rejecting tension and hatred in international relations.

When he was nominated for president, he gave his own speech. He was enthusiastic and received a lot of praise. When he was finally elected president, the first person he appointed was Stanton Rogers. He was appointed as his presidential advisor on international affairs.

Marshall McLuhan's vision that television would transform the world into an international village has truly come true.

The inauguration of the forty-second president of the United States was broadcast instantly via satellite to more than one hundred and ninety countries.

In the heart of Washington, DC's Black Rooster Avenue, where journalists gather, Ben Cohen, an elderly reporter for the Washington Post, sits with four friends, watching the presidential inauguration broadcast on television from a podium.

The first sight of the public on Pennsylvania Avenue, standing in the cold January air.

Then, United States Supreme Court Chief Justice Jason Mullin completed the president's swearing-in.

The new president shook hands with the Chief Justice and stood in front of the loudspeaker.

"Look at the people standing on the street shaking their asses, they're so crazy."

"Do you know why people want to go out and watch this when they can sit safely in their own homes and watch it on television just like everyone else?"

“Now tell me, why?” a reporter asked.

"Not for any other reason, my friend. This is a game where one man is making history. I want to tell my grandchildren that in the future, these people will be there to see President Paul Alison being sworn in. The place where he was sworn in is not far from me. I want to tell them that I am close enough to reach out and touch him."

"You are already a person who finds fault in everything, Ko Han."

"I'm honored if you think so. Every politician in the world has the same goal. He entered politics only to profit from it for himself."

In fact, Ben Cohen was not a man who saw everything in a negative light. He knew Paul Ellison from beginning to end.

To be honest, at first he didn't like Paul Ellison very much. Later, his ideas and opinions changed.

This politician is not a politician, but an oak tree in a willow forest.

Outside, flakes of snow were falling. The weather was unlikely to be a sign of the coming four years, Ben Cohen thought.

His attention returned to the television set in front of him, listening to the speech of the new President, Paul Ellison.

“Today we have something to say not only to our allies but also to the countries of the former Soviet bloc. I want to say nothing else. As we prepare to enter the twenty-first century, we can no longer afford to dwell on confrontation. We must realize that the construction of a “one world” is already a reality. Any other path will lead to a catastrophe from which no country can recover. There are great differences between countries. But we must build strong bridges to bridge these differences.”

His words were sincere and sincere, as if he believed in his heart. He was speaking with real conviction, Ben Cohen thought.

"Well... I don't think anyone will come forward to assassinate this person," he thought at the same time.

In Junction City, Kansas, it was not a sunny day.

The snow was falling so thickly that nothing could be seen clearly. Mary Ashley carefully steered her old station wagon straight down the highway.

Because of this storm, he was able to finish his class on time.
