Chapter 120: The Lesser of Two Evils
As a Liberal city councilor, Brown has a very good influence in New York. Coupled with the support of a Chinese-American family like the Situ family, Brown's influence in the New York Council is generally on a par with that of members of both parties.
It's just that compared with congressmen, city councilors are a 'gate' threshold for councilors to participate in politics. However, he is not a member of the two major parties in the Congress, so it is indeed not very difficult to enter the Congress and participate in politics.
In the National Assembly, the rights of each member of the parliament will be infinitely magnified. Any party in power wants its members to occupy the vast majority of seats in the National Assembly, and the opposition parties also think the same way.
For this reason, the annual election of members of the National Assembly shows the intensity of the competition. Members of both parties who are able to enter the National Assembly and participate in politics can be said to be people who are in the United States and have a lot of influence.
Brown, who knows what it means to take advantage of the situation, is very aware of what happened before and gives him a lot of points. As a politician, it is naturally essential to make connections with powerful people. And having a 'friendship' with someone like Han Ankang will undoubtedly bring Brown a certain popularity.
Even with this popularity, in the eyes of many, he is a non-nationalist. But in Brown's view, that wasn't a big deal. In these years, how many politicians and powerful people are really pursuing are simple nationalists?
Profit is the eternal goal. Why do the legislators of various states squeeze their heads out and want to enter Congress? The reason is simple, that is, this promotion of status will bring them more benefits.
Listening to Brown's very polite voice, Han Ankang said very calmly: "Mr. Brown, how much do you know about what happened in the island country some time ago?" I guess with your news channel, you shouldn't know nothing, right? ”
As soon as Brown heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "I know what Mr. Han means." I just don't know, is there anything I can help with in this matter? Or, what did our government provoke you? ”
The previous time Han Ankang blackmailed the secretary of state, Brown now feels happy when he thinks about it. Now that Han Ankang is calling, he thinks that there must be something that needs his help. Otherwise, Han Ankang wouldn't bother him if he was fine.
Regarding Brown's political sensitivity, Han Ankang finally smiled and said: "It seems that Mr. Brown is a smart person, and I like to 'deal' with smart people." Now there is indeed something that needs to be passed through you to your political fǔ.
The last time I was in the island country, I met a fire-type powerhouse, and that guy made a mess of me, and I was very angry. But right now, I'm in South Korea, so it's inconvenient to go to Merrijian for the time being. You ask your politician for me, do you want me to go there again?
If you want to, then I will give you a very good gift. I believe that you should understand that you must not be able to bear my great gift. After all, the situation in the island country is also known to you.
If you don't want to, then do something for me. I am very interested in the corpses of terrorists, and I hope that with the help of your strength, the government of the island country will 'hand' over the corpses of those terrorists. That's the end of this matter, I'm kind, right? ”
Listening to Han Ankang's words, Brown began to snicker in his heart, feeling that this was really a slumber. I really don't have a chance to expand my influence in front of the bigwigs in the White House, but Han Ankang gave him such an opportunity.
It is clear that in these years, with the surveillance methods of the CIA guys, there should be a surveillance of congressmen like him. Brown also quickly said: "Mr. Han, I express my great sympathy for what happened to you. It's just that as a Melijian, I also need principles.
I will immediately convey your request to the White House bosses. As for the outcome, I'll get back to you as soon as possible. Please believe that I personally agree with Mr. Han's reasonable request. ”
first flaunted his patriotism, and then expressed his support for Han Ankang. This kind of politician's skill is undoubtedly 'exposed' at this time. In this regard, Han Ankang naturally has nothing to say, he knows that Mei Li Jian Zheng has no choice.
Sure enough, after ending the call with Han Ankang, Brown immediately contacted the secretary of state who had kept his 'private' phone number. Knowing Han Ankang's request and coercion, the Secretary of State is also the first two big.
The previous time I originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the island country to hunt and kill Han Ankang, and I fell into the well. didn't think about it, not to mention the loss of a top-level ability in vain, but also let Han Ankang worry about them.
If a master like Han Ankang really came to the United States to create 'chaos' and 'chaos', the Secretary of State didn't dare to imagine what kind of scene it would be. After all, he still knows a little bit about the master strength of the island country!
It's just that he also knows that with the strength of the United States, it is naturally not a problem for the island country to 'hand over' the corpses of those terrorists. The point is, if you want to get these corpses back, Mirijian will definitely not be able to do it without paying a little price.
can think of Han Ankang's ability, as well as the means of blackmail in the previous time, the Secretary of State thinks. At this time, it is far better to replace the object of the falling well with the island country government fǔ than at this time, to find trouble with Han Ankang.
During this time, the island countries had another period of 'chaos' and 'chaos' in the political arena. Those politicians of island countries who want to stay in the Prime Minister's Office want to be recognized by the United States. Taking this opportunity, it shouldn't be a problem to get those bodies back.
Of course, this kind of thing is not something he can do alone. As for the previous dispatch of the Anomalous, he also did it with the authorization of the president. Now that Han Ankang is looking for trouble, he naturally has to discuss it with them.
The bigwigs who have entered the White House also feel that they really can't have an accident at this time when the Secretary of State mentions the matter of 'handing over'. Otherwise, I am afraid that the re-election of the good situation will be in vain. It was also quickly decided that the Secretary of State would be in charge of the matter.
Brown, who is the spokesperson of Han Ankang, naturally has to go to Washington again to communicate with these bigwigs. And this is undoubtedly an opportunity for Brown to deepen his impression in front of the White House bigwigs.
Regarding this kind of thing, Han Ankang naturally knew that Mei Li Jian Zheng had no choice. If they don't want to, it is their best choice to really go to Melijian and make a big fuss and get those bodies back for him.
After receiving Brown's phone call, Han Ankang directly said that all the bodies were sent to South Korea. In order to confirm these remains, Han Ankang called Li Guang and asked him to send someone here to identify them. He then sent a special plane to return the body to the Middle East.
Knowing that Han Ankang made a phone call, he would get this kind of tricky thing done, and Li Guang naturally knew that this showed that Han Ankang's strength was truly recognized by the world. Having this kind of boss is also a great thing for them.
It was Liu Hao, who served as the commander before, who personally rushed to South Korea to identify the remains. And in South Korea, Han Ankang believes that the South Korean government will not refuse to help him. And the information of Liu Hao and others is afraid that it is also the attention of various countries.
At present, the mercenary group is prominent, and it is difficult for countries that are concerned about the situation in the Middle East not to pay attention. As one of the responsible persons, Liu Hao's information is naturally the object of attention of various countries. There must be very few people who dare to do it at will.
The reason is very simple, as long as they know about the island country, and know that Liu Hao and they still have the great god Han Ankang behind them, these countries will not dare to act rashly. Coupled with the needle mercenary group, it is no longer a small mercenary group.
Their strength in the Middle East and Africa has grown rapidly. The benefits of its professional mercenaries are what many mercenaries want to be keen on. Even if the needle mercenary group has been steadily recruiting new members, the number of people has also exceeded 10,000.
Tens of thousands of experienced mercenaries, once dispersed to cause destruction, that country will not be comfortable. And if you want to monitor at the same time, it is even more impossible for these tens of thousands of 'elite' mercenaries.
Nowadays, some European and American countries, in the Middle East and Africa, are looking for escorts in oil refineries that are all mercenaries of the Needle Mang Mercenary Group. The presence of these mercenaries can largely deter terrorists who want to trouble them.
In the Middle East and Africa, the rule of the Needle Mercenary Regiment is neutrality. Whether it's a mercenary with a background or a murderous terrorist. As long as they don't provoke them, the Needle Mercenary Group will not provoke them either.
But if they find trouble with the mercenary group, what awaits them will be the revenge of the mercenary group. Some terrorist organizations did not believe it, and also tried to attack the factory guarded by the mercenary group, but they were directly targeted by the needle mercenary group.
Compared to other countries, the approach to eliminating terrorists is different. The mercenaries' retaliation can be described as unsophisticated. Even if the terrorists are accustomed to dispersed operations, the level of dispersed combat of mercenaries is no less than theirs.
The needle mercenary group, which has gradually become famous, has also become synonymous with not being provoked. Even some small countries in Africa and the Middle East have offered to help train their troops. And this kind of thing was naturally rejected by Li Guang and others.
Fundamentally Han Ankang's request, which is strictly forbidden by the Needle Mang Mercenary Group, is to participate in this kind of political dispute. is more enthusiastic, what mercenaries should do more, everything pays attention to interests, but also sticks to the bottom.
Like some mercenaries with European and American backgrounds, they like to do things that subvert the politics of other countries at every turn. This is strictly forbidden in the Needle Mercenary Regiment. Of course, if such a small country is looking for trouble with the needle mercenary group, then that's another story!
In a word, Li Guang and others who came out of Huaxia followed only one principle. If people don't offend me, I don't offend anyone. In addition, they are more like a 'private' army, silently accumulating strength in the Middle East and Africa.
It is the special nature of the Needle Mang Mercenary Regiment that makes the politicians of the countries where they are stationed actually not disgusted with them. On the contrary, there are some small African countries that are even willing to give up some interests, hoping that the needle will open a mercenary branch there.
Everyone knows that the place where the needle mercenary group is stationed must be a place far away from the 'chaos' of war. This is a situation that Africa desperately wants to see, as far as the small countries in the Middle East are concerned, where wars often break out.
This can also show that the Needle Mang Mercenary Group is actually very popular and supported by the local government!
