39 Patton
Anthony seemed to be immersed in his own thoughts, "Uh-huh," he elongated the end note, "Benjamin isn't a soldier, it's easier to explain." Anthony waved the crab leg in his hand and shook his head, "Grande has become Barton's only traditional funeral business, let Blake arrange a ......"
It means that when Grande officially appeared on the mayor's agenda, Anthony was deliberately creating the impression that he had a lot to do with Grande.
The fact is that Anthony was a veteran, and so was Benjamin, and Grande was the biggest beneficiary of the funeral privatization, keeping the only cemetery. What Blake's public relations needs to do is to flip the cause and effect and create public opinion orientation.
Because of the relationship between veterans, the mayor and Grande had known each other for a long time, and favored Grande in the matter of private funerals, helping veterans with the same background. ’
Zach frowned, "...... like that" Zach didn't quite understand the purpose of doing this, "Okay?" After all, the first formal meeting in front of people, at Quinn's dinner, the two did not show any friendship.
Anthony didn't respond, just gave the mayor an order, "You just have to cooperate." ”
Zach could only nod.
Zack, the owner of the funeral industry, an ordinary citizen of Barton, a vampire with a strange sense of morality, may not quite understand Anthony's political choices, but we know everything that happens in Barton, and we must know!
The focus is on veterans, the future of Patton, the third generation of the West Side!
First of all, Anthony's real purpose is to show the intention of people who are kind and biased towards this kind of background! Why? Remember? Smith, the reason why Quest struggled with threats several times - Smith's whitewashing.
Smith wants to clear his name, and Patton wants to push for the legalization of certain drugs on the pretext of providing a way for disabled veterans to alleviate their suffering!
Knowing that Anthony is a veteran of the Benjamin Army, what is the purpose of this decision? In order to be on the side of the West Enders! To be on the side of Barton's future!
And then. There is also an event that paves the way for the future. Dig into everyone's memories, the warden of Barton Prison in the South District, remember, that villain who has done a lot of things to the point of being the 'best warden of Barton' has to sigh. This guy was controlled by Ethra.
Think about what Anthony could say if one day Aethera started attacking Anthony with this man. Hehe. Regretful and sad with self-reproach, he said to a group of angry reporters who came to inquire about the flow of funds from the city government, "I put my faith on the wrong person! I thought he was ...... because he was born as a veteran."
Don't think about it, you know.
In the end, the reason why Anthony first showed his prominence at Barton was that it was not Zach and Benjamin who secretly helped Anthony solve the case! It was Anthony who was discharged from the army after the war and appeared in the conversation of Barton's upper echelons as a war hero! This attracted the attention of Aethera and made the current mayor Anthony!
Emphasis on pro-veterans? No. It's a reminder to everyone that Ann Anthony is a hero! Remember why you chose Anthony in the first place!
I really can't find any suitable words to describe it.
Breaking away from the conversation that Zach understood, Zach didn't like to continue, "What's wrong with your mood now? Are you lighter? It's time to get down to business." Zach smiled and motioned for time, "Three o'clock, I still have important things to do." ”
Anthony, tsk. Glancing at Zack, he threw away the crab leg in his hand. This sentence should have been said by the mayor to the citizens. Now it's the other way around.
Anthony wiped his fingers clean, didn't respond to Zack, didn't say what he was going to do, and turned to take the coat that was hanging from the back of the chair. It was only then that Zach saw that the pockets of his coat were filled with rolled-up papers.
"You're looking for me to say Ian. Anthony unfolded the rolled pages. Frowning, staring at the content above, he took a deep breath and pulled the corners of his mouth, "See for yourself!" Wen Jiàn was thrown in front of Zack.
The stains of the seafood inevitably stained the paper, and Zach picked up the paper with some embarrassment. The paper covered with dense handwriting is not new, and there are stains on it with various achievements, coffee marks, oil stains, etc.
But Zach was not affected by these inconsequential appearances, and after reading the first paragraph of text on the first piece of paper, he had already frowned, and quickly turned the page, "Where did you get this?"
The handwriting on the page is a memoir, all about one man, a vampire who calls himself Toledo, thirteen years before the war was still going on, in Patton.
Anthony continued to pick up the crab leg and did not answer.
Zach frowned and began to peruse:
"During that time, xx and I discussed the bounty of the Hidden Alliance, but Sbella stopped us, her reason being that the other party was not like the real Toredo, and his strength and ability were too far behind. We don't need to give up our settled retirement for the sake of a guy who is sure of our identity......
Zach read quickly and turned the page.
"The vampire who calls himself Tyridor doesn't seem to be alert, and even if we mention the Hidden Alliance's bounty in front of him, he doesn't care, as if it's none of his business. But he seemed interested in the city of Barton, and he was always asking for news of people in the West End, like Quinne......
Page.
"This guy's deposit zài caused some commotion, not good. His half-eyes of charm are in the upper floors of Barton, the West End, and the North District government...... Got a lot of trouble. Sbella's patience was running out, and we all thought that if this guy continued to mess around, Patton would sooner or later be targeted by something in the Midlands and West, and that the quiet life we had worked so hard to maintain would be over......
Page.
"Sibella is on the move......
Page.
"This guy's behavior pattern is confusing. We didn't deal any real blow to him, it was just a warning, a threat. But after making a mess in the upper echelons of Barton, he inexplicably fell into depression and hid in the place where Barton was most despised, the southeast......
Page.
......
Zach put down the paper in his hand. His question had been answered, and it came from Anthony's Indians. After Ian followed Papa to leave at midnight, Sbella left Barton, and the men returned to Anthony's side.
These handwritten words, apparently Anthony had taken over these indies and asked them to write them down with mixed feelings.
Zach had at least figured out what Ian had done at Barton, and it was better to ask Sbella than Hank.
Now confirmed, Zach took the paper in his hand and pursed his lips.
"So you already knew?" Zack's expression was faintly helpless, and he shook his head slightly, "Ian, I found out a long time ago, you are still on the battlefield, ......" Zach looked at Anthony's instantly darkened face and changed his words, "We, all of us who fought on the battlefield, pinned the last trace of faith in our hearts on the wrong city. ”
Now Barton, just by making a political decision by Anthony as mayor just now, we recognize a new way of interpreting three dismal things. Barton isn't rosy at all, even now with Anthony and Zach working hard to build.
Thirteen years before Patton, Ian came alone, what good could be. (To be continued......)
