第1章 我阐述你的美国梦 

I will explain your American Dream.

Back in 1973, Aaron McMillan joins the FBI, immediately becoming involved in the Watergate scandal and witnessing the brutal politics of that era. The post-World War II oil crisis has brought industry to a standstill, leaving countless unemployed and displaced. The times are calling for more enlightened leaders. As a small team leader within the FBI, penniless Aaron McMillan wakes up to find himself burdened with numerous charges including corruption, bribery, treason, and communist sympathy. Fortunately, Aaron obtains a diary. This diary contains no content; it only poses questions. By answering the correct questions, Aaron receives a steady stream of money and intelligence. Note that the questions will become increasingly difficult, and the time periods they relate to may even span decades! For people in 1973, these questions are like a fantasy, but for Aaron, who has traveled from the future, these are historical events that have already occurred, and the answers are a piece of cake! [Q: What was the outcome of the Watergate scandal?] A: The US President resigned. Correct answer. Congratulations, you have received a reward of five thousand dollars. [Q: Who was the mastermind behind the Watergate scandal who repeatedly tipped off the president to the Washington Post?] A: FBI Deputy Director Mark. Correct answer. Congratulations, you've won a reward: $10,000. ...Years later, another question confronted Aaron.
