Chapter 444 ‘Now is the time to witness a miracle’
Garcetti, the elected mayor of San Loduo, has the longest tenure as mayor in recent decades.
His background in the military intelligence system gave him rigor and determination, and the family support behind his son-in-law gave him strong unifying power.
As the mayor of one of the largest cities in the United States, Garcetti has great strength.
Strong enough that Niu Sen immediately and subconsciously sought refuge from Garcetti after being slapped in the face by Gru, strong enough not to choose a side in front of Black Satan, strong enough to make every move for Chengdu , the ability to lay ambushes at all levels but still not dare to start a war easily.
Now, the mayor arrives at Wolf Dracula's seder.
The kind that comes uninvited.
"Thank you, Mr. Mayor, I didn't expect you to come." Wolfe smiled and pulled Garcetti.
The mayor took the wine glass, took two steps forward, and took a clear look at the crowd in the hall.
He stood beside Wolfe calmly, his eyes slowly sweeping across, but his heart was like a falling meteorite, falling deeper and deeper.
"If I don't come, you will bring down the sky in Saint-Loduo, Wolfe."
Garcetti shouted in a low voice, his aura like a provoked lion, his eyes Determined and sharp, he faced the scrutiny of young politicians.
Wolf, I'm here to warn you!
Come in person, come uninvited, warning!
Under the pressure from Garcetti, Wolfe, who combed his hair like an adult, subconsciously shrank his neck.
Immediately, he quickly woke up from the fear of this subconscious influence. Wolfe chuckled and approached, speaking in a voice that others could not hear.
“You only discovered the problem now, it’s too late!”
For Garcetti, the devil’s whispers were nothing more than that.
Wolf didn't give him even a vague response at all, but directly chose to show off under his threat!
Is Wolfe too crazy?
No!
Using "Sun Tzu's Art of War", a must-have reference book for the American Joint Chiefs of Staff, to explain the current situation, it probably belongs to the stage of 'all the plans have been exhausted, all enemies have surrendered, and the army will be overturned'.
Going to war, economic interests and political power are compounded, and the Chengdu Federation colludes with Wolfe to take down the California Gang and the California Elephant Party!
Secondly, Garcetti’s biggest potential helper, America’s Black Satan, has been bribed by Wolfe with a large sum of money!
Secondly, in the key battlefield of the game between the two sides, the current chief of the LAPD is already a withered bone in the grave!
At the end of the siege, Mr. Cheng postponed the time of the general attack and showdown again and again, in order to deal with all the things that could be done, the chips that could be obtained, and the possible accidents.
As the news of the private prison project gradually spreads, and as the matter of Eris's safe landing gradually ferments, Garcetti will inevitably discover problems.
But does it matter?
When conflicts gradually intensify, huge waves will inevitably occur, and it cannot be hidden.
Just like today’s grand political ceremony of handover of power by the California Elephant Party, Mr. Cheng and Wolf have no plans to hide at all!
The one who wins the temple without fighting must be considered the winner.
Garcetti, the arrogant mayor, you woke up too late!
Or, have you never regarded us as your opponent?
“Your purpose, Wolf, and Saint-Lo are already messy enough. Now that you are standing together with Themir, do you want to disrupt the West Coast with outsiders from Missouri?”
The safe landing of Eris is a signal, as is the private prison financing circulating within the Saint-Loduo administration. Although Garcetti has never considered wealthy people like Themir and Wolfe as his political opponents, This does not mean that he will close his eyes and listen.
"San Roto? Garcetti, from the time you gave up running for governor, you were destined to be stuck in San Roto for the rest of your life.
I am the president of the California Elephant Party Grand Committee, the California Elephant Party Grand Committee , not the Grand Committee of the Saint-Loduo Elephant Party!
We won’t have wallowers like Kevin again, this time, we are serious!”
Wolf laughed. Describe your ambitions to Garcetti.
Look directly at me. Standing in front of you is Wolf, the super rich man. Wolf is the leader of the California Elephant Party. Wolf is the most promising young man in the West Coast Elephant Party.
Garcetti, do you think I would be frightened by your few innocuous threats?
Stop it!
Wolf was never afraid of the difficulties ahead.
The so-called worries I once resorted to were just psychological preparation and planning before doing something.
In this miserable world, it is too difficult to achieve anything.
How to do it if you are afraid of difficulties?
Looking at Wolfe's frivolous expression, Garcetti raised his glass in embarrassment and took the initiative to clink it with him.
Then, drink it all in one gulp.
"Wolf, don't cross the line. I am a kind person, but that doesn't mean I have no teeth!"
Wolf understands that no matter what he says or promises.
After tonight, the mayor of Saint-Loduo will inevitably become his enemy and the president's enemy irrevocably.
Without him, where interests lie, there will inevitably be conflicts!
“Ha, Mr. Garcetti, Mr. Mayor, these harsh words sound terrible.
But I am very happy to give you a small, kind gesture as a friend. Reminder.
You can go home first, deal with your wife’s lover, and then come to me and tell me you are a man!”
Explosive killing!
Cuckold, stop screaming, your wife has planted a national forest park above your head!
Garcetti turned and left with a livid face.
His last-ditch attempt to maintain stability failed, and tonight would be the last calm before the war.
Wulf turned around, raised the empty cup, and said to the Elephant Party members behind him.
"Mayor Garcetti is also here to congratulate me, but he has work arrangements and can only leave temporarily.
Next, let us ask our new Fundraising Committee Chairman-Mr. Crusoe to express his speech 'Award Speech! '"
Chairman of the Fundraising Committee, this position is one of the most powerful in the party.
Why can Nancy hold the top spot in the House of Representatives?
Because she has been the chairperson of the Donkey Party’s fundraising committee for a long time!
If the old witch approves money for you, you will get more resources within the party, and you will have more opportunities to rise to the top!
Crusoe, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, stood up from his seat, first thanked Wolfe for his support, and then told a joke.
“Everyone is my old friend, let me tell you a joke tonight.
The commander-in-chief and Diane were very late after finishing the TV debate and needed something to eat. Energy."
Wolf sat back next to Tamir. The rich black-haired woman was dressed up tonight. As the most powerful financial backer of the California Elephant Party, she was the one to eliminate Wo tonight. The second protagonist besides Wolf.
In comparison, Mr. Cheng on the side is like a foil.
But the core figures of the California Elephant Party all know who the ‘BigMan’ is.
"He seems to have noticed our movements." Wolfe said.
Themir looked at Mr. Cheng, and Mr. Cheng raised his neck, indicating that everyone should look at Old Crusoe.
If you notice it, just notice it. You can't hide everything in the dark forever.
You must first be involved in it before you can be closely related and important.
Secret organizations can gain advantages when they are weak, but when the organization becomes larger, the organization's behavior must be changed along with the adjustment of the organizational structure, so as to obtain more benefits on a larger stage.
They are all paths that must be taken, and they are all links that cannot be avoided - the same goes for games and struggles with the enemy.
Themir smiled at Wolfe and followed Mr. Cheng’s gaze to look at Old Crusoe.
“They entered a bakery and found that they didn’t bring any money. Diane hesitated for two seconds, and when the clerk wasn’t paying attention, he reached out and took out three cakes and put them in his pocket.
She taunted the commander-in-chief and said, "Look how smart I am, they didn't see anything, and I don't even have to lie. I will definitely defeat you and win the position of commander-in-chief of the United States." '"
Wulf looked at Crusoe with complicated thoughts in his heart. President Cheng gave him the stage, glory, team, opportunity, and power, but limited his room for performance.
Old Crusoe - a person from Cheng, not a person from Wolfe
As the leader of the MAGA faction, Old Crusoe will be adopted by Wolfe in the future. After the marriage obtains the political reputation of the MAGA faction, it will naturally increase.
So in fact, Old Crusoe can make a lot of money without even siding with Wolfe.
And this logical inference makes Old Crusoe have no choice but to choose Cheng between President Cheng and Wolfe, thus gaining a bargaining chip between the two giants.
From this point of view, Crusoe looks like a certain Tu Erha who has both sides in the five camps.
In Wolf's view, making the current MAGA leader of the California Elephant Party, Old Crusoe, the fundraising chairman, is a brilliant move with no limits.
If Cheng always did it unintentionally, then Wolfe didn’t believe it.
If Cheng always meant it, Wolff was actually a little tired.
Brother, you are so good at fighting!
"The commander-in-chief said, 'In order to achieve your goals, you cheat and steal. This is your usual style. In fact, you can also get the same result by using honest methods.'"
Old Crew Suo continued to tell his cold joke. In fact, many people had already heard this joke, but everyone cooperated with the party boss's performance and pretended to have never heard it before.
“So, the commander-in-chief said to the bakery owner, ‘I am the candidate for the commander-in-chief of the Elephant Party. I will perform magic tricks for you. Please pass me the cake.’
The store owner was curious and gave the commander a piece. The commander immediately ate it and asked for another piece, and then another piece, and ate three pieces in a row. ”
Mr. Cheng has already started to laugh. This is the first time he has heard this kind of American joke.
Seeing Mr. Cheng laughing, Crusoe, who was speaking, acted even more vigorously. He exaggerated He was making funny expressions, waving his arms and imitating the movement of eating cake.
At this moment, he was not like the de facto second person of the California Elephant Party and chairman of the fundraising committee, but like a circus. The clown in
The clown who is worth billions and the clown with great power is still performing.
"The shop owner asked the commander in confusion when the magic would appear.
The commander replied, 'Now is the time to witness the miracle. The three cakes just now are all in Diane's pocket!'"
The old thing finally shook off its old baggage, and the old actors smiled just right.
"Hahaha, Mr. Crusoe, you are so funny!"
"Mr. Crusoe, you should go on a TV show to expose Diane's true face to all Americans!"
"Mr. Crusoe"
The Chairman of the Fundraising Committee is like this. All Crusoe has to say is that even if he stands in the crowd and barks like a barking dog, someone will say that he barks. Good.
"Chan, who do you plan to raise money from?" Wolfe asked meaningfully.
Brother, if your fighting level is so high, your ability to raise funds must also be very strong, right?
Some friends may be wondering - aren't these bullies all big capitalists? Why still ask for money?
This is similar to starting a business. If you use your own money, is that called starting a business?
That’s called gambling!
Only by encircling other people’s money can you avoid risks!
Themir squeezed Mr. Cheng’s hand, which was to give him support, but Mr. Cheng was too unstressed by Wolfe’s little trouble.
He replied with a smile.
"The Donkey Party has been struggling in California for so many years. In essence, it has reaped the dividends of America's global expansion. In the future, when America's global expansion enters a recession, this dividend will decline.
People's thinking is that Stubborn, but when oil prices rise, life becomes difficult, and immigrants crowd the streets, they will remember the existence of our California Elephant Party.
We can make normal arrangements for how to draw funds from the rich. Remind them that times will change and you can’t just put your eggs in one basket.
If it doesn’t work once, just twice. If it doesn’t work twice, just three times.
There are a lot of rich people in California. Do it a little bit. Work and fundraising are not a problem.”
California is the richest state in the United States. The density of billionaires here is second only to a special district in China. Of course, not all the rich are supporters of the Donkey Party.
Mr. Cheng was very sure that as long as he wielded his hoe diligently enough, there would be no shortage of money.
"By the way, Garcetti came over suddenly. What did he say to you? I saw that he left with an unnatural expression."
Themir asked from the side.
Wolf was a little uninterested by the 'plan' given by President Cheng, and he said in a slightly tight tone.
"The situation is not good. Garcetti saw that we seemed to be interested in getting involved in San Roto, and came here to warn me."
Crusoe was still bragging, while the real controllers of the California Elephant Party were standing aside. Making research and judgments for future struggles.
"Warning? Haha, interesting, how does he plan to deal with us?"
Mr. Cheng is looking forward to the next fight.
In his view, opponents like Garcetti can be regarded as a standard reference in the American power game.
Let’s just say he’s OK, he’s the mayor of Saint-Loduo, a re-elected and well-known leader of local forces.
You can say that he is not good, but he still fails to live up to his expectations. He is really not good at it.
The family background of a son-in-law is a big problem. Chengdu took advantage of the opportunity to start his own business and is now the boss of his own business. However, Garcetti has been a difficult balance maintainer for so many years.
There is no particularly strong base, and the so-called support from voters is even more illusory - his former competitors were ridiculously weak.
Like a perfect whetstone, a very good step.
Mr. Cheng's chips, calculations, and preparations were too complete and thorough. At the moment when it was clear that the battle was about to begin, a funny scene happened.
Garcetti, the so-called Mr. Mayor, stood there with a clear face, as if waiting for Mr. Cheng to step over and help Mr. Cheng walk higher.
“I don’t know, Chan, what should we do?”
Wolf shook his head. He actually wanted to see how Mr. Cheng would respond.
The rebellious child is like this. President Cheng gave him a stage to comb his hair like an adult, but the first thing he wanted to do was to attack President Cheng's authority.
Just like when the turmoil in California was settled, he immediately tried to redefine the positions of the two parties.
The way Wolfe pretended to be stupid and made things difficult for Mr. Cheng was so ridiculous that Mier was so angry that she was about to vent her anger on the spot - what a good girl.
Mr. Cheng raised his hand and suppressed her anger.
He pointed at Crusoe and said to Wolfe.
"Mr. Crusoe actually hopes that he can take on more responsibilities. I plan to give him a chance. What do you think?"
Wolfe lowered his eyebrows and looked at the empty wine glass on the table.
The waiter came over cleverly and quickly changed his glass of wine.
But what Wolf was struggling with was not wine, but how to get along with Mr. Cheng.
Mr. Cheng’s answer just now is an uncompromising reaffirmation of his power. This is a bit too realistic for Wolfe, who just took the position of chairman of the California Elephant Party Grand Committee today.
Seeing that Wolfe avoided answering immediately, Mr. Cheng was not in a hurry and just picked up his fork and gave Mi'er a piece of fruit.
