Javier is an old acquaintance of Niu Sen.
In terms of qualifications, he was Niu Sen’s senior who once sat in the front row of Capitol Hill.
In terms of position, he is a long-term collaborator with Nancy.
Moreover, after being read by a lip reader, Javier already knew that he was appointed by the two big bosses and might take over Niu Sen's position as state pastor in the future.
Therefore, both emotionally and rationally, no matter from which angle you look at it, it is impossible for Havel and Niu Sen to come together.
But this is the absurdity of the world. In power games, the relationships between different participants often change all the time.
Positions, principles, and even beliefs are not so unbreakable.
For example, when the commander-in-chief had not entered the power game, he often served as a charger for Diane. At that time, his relationship with Diane and his wife was so good that they almost covered him with a quilt.
Later, it did not affect the close combat between the two sides to the point of beating the brains out.
As the operator of the reintegration of the California Elephant Party, Mr. Cheng has little friendship with Havel, so the cooperation between the two parties faces relatively big challenges.
But Niu Sen is different. Mr. Cheng has been wooing Niu Sen for so long just to have a "own person" in the Donkey Party who can help him realize more special possibilities when needed.
Turning New Times into a non-profit is part of this possibility. The privatization of the San Rodu County Prison that may be promoted in the future is also part of the possibility. Now, wooing Javier through Niusen is also part of this possibility. range.
"Is it about Will?"
Javier thought the state pastor wanted to talk about his younger brother Will.
After all, Will has been caught at the Ferbole headquarters, and he believes that Niu Sen will be in a hurry.
It can only be said that Havel still lacks understanding of the depth of cooperation between Niu Sen and President Cheng and the harsh methods of President Cheng.
Will is now controlled by Hu Te, which is equivalent to the collateral for the cooperation between Niu Sen and Mr. Cheng. Zhou Mu is not worried about Will. What he is worried about is that Mr. Cheng will be crushed by Nancy!
"Please sit down. What can happen to Will has nothing to do with him. I want to talk to you this time. Wait, I want to know first - what do you think of the conversation that was deciphered by the lip reader?"< br>
In California Shepherd's office, Javier was a little nervous because of Niu Sen's outspokenness, and he subconsciously leaned back.
Of course, he was not intimidated by Niusen, who had an extraordinary status, but Javier was not much different.
One is the crown prince of the California Gang who may be deposed, and the other is a veteran who has worked hard for the Donkey Party and the California Gang for many years. They have similar statuses.
What makes Havel uncomfortable is: Is this the right question to ask?
My child, you seem to lack concentration.
"After that day, many people asked me this question. In fact, my idea is relatively simple. If you need me to do anything for the Donkey Party, I am willing to do it."
Javier: It’s not me who wants to mess with you, it’s other people who want to mess with you. I have no intention of helping you, and I have no need not to accept gifts from others.
It’s all about organizational trust, how could I refuse?
However, Havel's statement is actually very cautious.
The so-called future arrangements only exist in the distant future. Mr. Attorney General is an old politician, and it is impossible to offend Niu Sen to death for an empty title that has not yet been fulfilled.
"There's nothing bad to say. My aunt is very dissatisfied with me being too close to the California Elephant Party.
You're from San Rodo, you're friends with Crusoe, and you're more familiar with the California Elephant Party than I am.
Let me tell you, with the situation of the California Elephant Party, does it seem like it can threaten us? ”
What Niu Sen said was basically nonsense. However, Javier was familiar with this trick.
"Yeah, the California Elephants are no threat to us."
Young people will struggle with right and wrong, facts, morality and even law. Javier will not make that kind of mistake.
No matter what his plans are, just obey them.
This is the wisdom of doing things, and it is also the wisdom necessary to become a politician.
When someone starts to behave in a Shabi manner, the position of a bystander should be that if he behaves like a Shabi, he must have a Shabi reason.
Even if he is the real Sabi, there is no need to expose him - there is no need to offend anyone, just avoid it when encountering it in the future.
"Garcetti didn't think so, and I don't know what he said to my aunt, but it doesn't matter.
I want you to help me teach Corrections Corporation of America a little lesson. You know, New Times has a private prison project that I sponsored through both houses of the state.
There was a little trouble here, and the chairman of Xinshi called me to complain.
Don't let those who are determined to contribute to the United States feel cold, Mr. Havel. ”
Let the state pastor of the most powerful state in the United States act as a broker to buy off the former boss of the U.S. House of Representatives and the current Attorney General of California.
politician?
No!
Capital dog!
Looking at Niu Sen, who had a 'this little thing' look on his face, Javier suppressed his shock and thought quickly.
Sure enough, the governor is not Shabi, he has interests in it, and it is not a small interest, otherwise Nancy would never depose the prince.
The deposed prince seems to be Niu Sen, but Nancy will also face an invisible and huge loss of political influence.
Moreover, Javier also realized something - Niusen was very dissatisfied with Garcetti.
Also, Niu Sen and the California Elephant Party are close, but Garcetti cannot sit back and watch the California Elephant Party rise in San Loduo.
"Teach the American Correctional Corporation a little lesson, Mr. Zhou Mu, I don't understand."
Javier said almost word for word.
The Attorney General doesn't want to end up at all.
Expected benefits, potential costs, risk factors, in and out, inside and outside, Javier calculated clearly.
Niu Sen raised his eyebrows and let out a long sigh.
The deposed prince!
Can't understand?
No, I just don’t want to hear it!
In the past, it was just a matter of words, but now, the other side can't even pretend to do it.
This is the deposed prince!
For some reason, Niu Sen thought of his aunt's words.
‘No one can protect you except me! ’
Clear your mind of unnecessary thoughts, Zhou Mu Road.
"I can promote it myself, and I can also teach the American Correctional Corporation a lesson. Do you know why I'm looking for you?"
This was an impolite question, and Javier did not answer immediately.
The two glanced at each other, but in the end, the Attorney General lowered his eyebrows and avoided it.
The principle of happiness must be given to those who are happy. Mr. Prosecutor General was afraid that the frustrated Niu Sen would explode and splash his own blood!
"Why?"
Havel naturally knew that as a state shepherd, Niu Sen still had great power, and he could indeed achieve his goals on his own.
Wolfe wanted to play his marriage card with President Cheng, but President Cheng refused to accept it, because Wolfe was in the organization, and his personal advantages would naturally spread to the organization.
At that time, Wolfe was depressed and helpless.
But at this moment, Niu Sen's situation was completely opposite to Wolfe's.
Nancy's dislike of him affects his future destiny, but because he is the state pastor, his status as state pastor ensures that he still has enough power to do some things that are not so outrageous.
After being deposed as the crown prince, the organizational system of the California Gang and the power granted to him by the Federal Constitution gave Niu Sen the bargaining chip to continue operating.
"Javier, everything has a price. I don't want to lose, and I don't want to quit. Tell me your asking price."
Niu Sen said with waning interest.
Spend money and buy a road. Spend Jinshan to buy a road.
Mr. Cheng pays the bill!
"The rules of the game are not like this, Niu Sen, you understand." Javier can also be very rude.
He thinks Niu Sen is too dazed!
Who do you think you are?
What do you think I am?
"You want to see my determination?" Mr. Zhou Mu asked with a smile.
"This has nothing to do with determination. I know the situation of the California Elephant Party very well.
Crusoe, the rich man.
Wolf Dracula, the rich man.
They already enjoy a huge economic status and have no reason to ask for any extraordinary political status.
Your getting close to these people is a betrayal in itself, a betrayal of your identity! ”
Havell is an old-school politician, and his ideas represent the ideas of the vast majority of America's ruling elites.
The power of the country needs to be balanced. Capitalists can buy influence, but they can only buy it.
If money and power are completely controlled by capitalists, wouldn’t it just go back to slavery?
"Times have changed, Havel. Two hundred years ago, we didn't have the monopoly giants we have now. Besides, Rockefeller has long been the deputy commander-in-chief, and the current commander-in-chief is a real estate developer - speaking of which, Crusoe is also a real estate developer. .”
It is difficult for people to think apart from their own interests, and it is even harder for people to act apart from their own interests.
Niu Sen already has an inseparable bond with Mr. Cheng, and he must oppose Havel's accusation.
"He's the exception, and no one likes him, except those Sabi rednecks!"
Niu Sen smiled.
"You think it's an exception?
My idea is exactly the opposite. The mastery of wealth by the rich has gradually developed to what it is today. Compared with a hundred years ago, the rich now have greater influence.
Technology has advanced and everything is changing. You can't hold on to old ideas and try to pretend that nothing has changed, Javier. ”
The erosion of political power by economic power is an inevitable process that no one can stop.
When the federal government requires large companies to pay taxes, the voice of large business owners will increase, and they will naturally gradually enjoy power commensurate with their wealth.
When politicians need enough campaign funds to win, the funders behind the scenes will also gain more room for manipulation.
As the capitalist production relations fall into an irreversible dilemma, what follows is the aggregation of big capital and the increasing erosion of political power by big capital.
The emergence of the political and business revolving door is the best example.
If Mr. Cheng is willing to bear the price, then he is qualified to buy and sell by force.
If Javier can't find someone willing to pay the price, then he actually has no choice.
"Everything is changing, but you choose to give up your bottom line and lick those people's butts. This is inappropriate. Niu Sen, you are a member of the Donkey Party!"
Javier actually knew that something was changing.
More and more wealthy people are directly involved in the game of political power, from Bloomberg in New York to the current president, Crusoe, and Wolf.
He was also helpless about this. The greed of those people had no limits, and there were even more politicians who slipped to their knees as easily as Niu Sen.
Mr. Prosecutor General even had an indescribable feeling that the country was entering some kind of predicament little by little.
"Ten million dollars, help me get rid of the American Correctional Corporation. I don't like their boss!"
Positions are never constant, and the so-called loyalty almost disappeared when Nancy gave up on Will.
Niusen chooses and quotes directly.
"Why don't I go to Corrections Corporation of America? They can give you more." Javier sneered.
Ignoring the rules and constantly using cruel methods to attack opponents, Mr. Attorney General does not recognize Mr. Cheng’s style of play!
When order breaks down, there will always be people who choose to persevere!
Havel's choice is far from being rigid. He shows the integrity of a mature politician and the integrity of an American who is unwilling to see the American order collapse.
"We can fix Corrections Corporation of America, but we can't fix New Times."
Niu Sen's tone was a little sad.
If he could take action against Xinshi and President Cheng, he would have overturned the table long ago.
"You don't really think I will agree to your request, do you?" Javier still didn't understand the situation he was facing.
"Listen, you can't be in a key position and not be willing to take responsibility, and you know that better than I do.
Do me a small favor, or make an enemy of me and the California Elephant Party.
Choose one. ”
Pressure, pressure, extreme pressure, pressure when the situation collapses and against the wind.
Why is the strategy of extreme pressure so successful in the hands of President Cheng?
Because American politicians are so cowardly!
Under the mechanism of screening puppets, no one who can come up is not a puppet!
It's just that the cost of manipulating people like Nancy and Niu Sen is even greater!
The bullshit principles that Havel adheres to are as fragile as bubbles under the constraints of realistic interests.
"I will do it, but I also think that Nancy's choice is not wrong. Niu Sen, you are far from the temperament to be a leader!"
Mr. Attorney General is no longer pretending - he just looks down on you.
You, a state shepherd from the Donkey Party, go kneel down and lick someone from the Elephant Party, what does that mean?
Bitch!
Money has to be earned, but harsh words have to be spoken. Javier has to grasp it with both hands, and he has to be tough with both hands.
"My aunt once told me that when she first stepped into Capitol Hill, the old men looked at her with a straight eye.
Capitol Hill was like this in that era, but this did not affect her becoming a leader on Capitol Hill.
There are not many things that are taken for granted in this world, except for the fact that someone must be a leader! ”
Javier curled his lips disdainfully, stood up, and prepared to leave.
"Those people wanted to turn you and me into puppets. I wanted to persist, but you knelt down, and many people like you knelt down.
Even I had to lose my principles. Niu Sen, do you think you have defeated me?
No, you have lost our most precious thing - our independence! ”
The most ridiculous thing in the world is that bad money drives out good money, but this thing is often ubiquitous and generally applicable.
Javier wants to make good money, but he also wants to stay on the stage, so he can only be forced to kneel down by bad money like Niu Sen.
Personally, this experience is actually quite disgusting.
"Did I lose my independence? Javier, you can think about when the American congressmen and politicians started to lose their independence.
It's the wheelchair guy! It was his New Deal that turned us into this!
If the government interferes in the economy, it will inevitably be adversely affected by the economy. This is not my problem!
In the 1960s, capitalists began to directly buy congressmen to serve as their eyes and ears on Capitol Hill.
In the 1970s, members of the Rockefeller family entered the game and became deputy commanders, trying to gain more advantages.
In the 1980s, the revolving door of politics and business started, and it has come step by step to where it is today.
The problem is not me!
I'm not the first to compromise, and I won't be the last.
At least you compromised, right? ”
Javier slammed the door heavily and did not respond to Niu Sen's taunt.
In Mr. Zhou Mu's office, Niu Sen sat alone behind the desk.
He raised his hands to cover his face, trying to get some temporary rest. (End of chapter)
