The situation is actually getting a little out of control.

The blacks in the Kasri Academy were more armed than they had previously imagined, and they even owned bazookas. Assault has become a very difficult task.

Duira did not rule out the possibility of requesting military support, but in this way, the city of Oakland would become "famous" throughout the United States, and his face as mayor would inevitably be lost.

This is something that Duira absolutely does not want to see.

Under his stern orders, Director Douglas organized several police attacks in a row, but each time they were met with stubborn counterattacks from the "Black Panther Party". attacked again and again, but those policemen retreated again and again.

For Duira and his men, the situation has now become very difficult.

In the city of Auckland, some blacks have begun to strike in solidarity with their comrades who are resisting stubbornly in Kasri College, and they demand that the police immediately stop the attack, agree to all the demands of the "Black Panther Party", and give all blacks in the city a fair and fair treatment!

The City Council also sent their Speaker Obuck to inquire about the matter, and on behalf of the Oakland City Council, Obuck demanded that Duira immediately put an end to the Kasri College incident in the shortest possible time, give the Council and all the citizens of Auckland a satisfactory account, and repeatedly told him not to allow heavy casualties.

Duira kept cursing these hateful councillors, things had come to this point, what could he do? The blacks would never willingly lay down their weapons unless—really, they had to seek help from the military.

But this is a choice that can only be made when there is really no choice.

A full 24 hours have passed since the hostage incident broke out. The hostages' families waited anxiously outside, refusing to leave no matter how much they tried to persuade them.

It is their families who are being held and their lives are in danger at all times. Who wants to abandon their family members when their lives are uncertain?

Journalists are constantly reporting on the progress of the Kasri Academy incident. Now, the whole city of Oakland, and all of New York, know what a terrible riot has taken place here.

Organizations that support violent forms of fighting for the rights of blacks are not encouraged by the actions of the Black Panther Party, and they seem to see a bright path in the darkness. Whether the "Black Panther Party" succeeds or not, this operation will give them great encouragement.

Some armed black organizations have also begun to take action, and they have decided to use their practical actions to give the most direct and powerful support to their compatriots who are fighting in Oakland.

And those blacks who advocate a peaceful way to fight for their rights, even though they do not approve of the "Black Panther Party" so simple and profitable. But they can understand the plight of the "Black Panther Party", and they have repeatedly called for an immediate end to the armed confrontation in Auckland through various means. The two sides should return to the negotiating table for negotiations.

In short, the attention of the whole United States has been drawn to Oakland, and every move here involves the heart of the whole United States.

By this time, Elliot had arrived in Auckland. For the loyal followers of this baron. Nothing cares him more than the current situation in Orank.

"The Baron has called to inquire about the progress of Auckland......" In his temporary office, Eliot held a book in his hand, which was the Baron's favorite book to read-"A Tale of Two Cities", Eliot said while watching: "The war in Britain is about to break out, and the United States must be involved in civil strife and cannot extricate itself." Paris, we have succeeded in provoking an economic crisis, and the severe confrontation between blacks and whites, armed insurrection, will be the best time for us. How are you going to move on to the next step? ”

"Calis College is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us...... Paris replied respectfully, "To be honest, I didn't expect things to get that big. The whole of America will soon be completely involved. The Brandenburg Commandos have entered Calis Academy and have successfully prevented the police from entering, and we will further incite all blacks throughout Auckland to enter Calis Academy...... But the only thing that worries me now is the involvement of the military......"

"Yes, once the army intervenes, with the 'Black Panther Party' and the mere results, the commandos will not be able to stop them." Eliot's gaze finally shifted from A Tale of Two Cities: "Paris, everyone has weaknesses, don't they?" I think Mayor Duira also has weaknesses, and of course Director Douglas, so why not start with them? ”

Paris frowned and thought for a moment, and soon he understood something.

Yes, the Baron once said that everyone has weaknesses, and the key is whether you can catch the weaknesses of the other person......

And people like Duira or Douglas have far more weaknesses than ordinary people......

"Paris, I want you to understand something." Elliot stood up: "The Baron does not want to encounter too much resistance when attacking the British mainland, what he wants most is to achieve the greatest victory at the least cost." What we have to do is to do our best to assist the Baron and remove all obstacles in our path. If now Britain is the first battlefield for the barons, then the United States will be the second. And we, the generals of the barons who remained in the United States. ”

"Yes, Mr. Elliot, I think I can figure it out." Paris regained his previous calm: "I heard that Mr. Obuck, the Speaker of the Auckland Council, has personally gone to Kasri College, and we have always maintained a good relationship with Mr. Speaker, and I think I can visit him at this time. ”

"Yes, Mr. Speaker must not have slept at this time......" Elliot smiled an elusive smile......

．．．．．．

Obuck, who had just returned to his home from the Castle Academy, did not expect that Paris, the spokesman of the Wittgenstein family in Washington, would come to visit him at this time.

He had always had a close relationship with the Wittgensteins, and he remembers his first election to the Obucks City Council. What a help the Wittgensteins have given themselves. In that regard, he was fully to Mr. Eliot and Mr. Paris.

Of course, this time maybe the timing of Paris's visit wasn't very accurate. The Kasri Academy incident had upset Obuck. Not only Duira and Douglas are under heavy pressure, but also his own Speaker. Brown, the chief reporter for the Oakland Newspaper, spoke sharply and kept asking questions, making it almost impossible for Orbuck to answer. He hated these journalists, but he did not want to be enemies with them. This will be a great embarrassment for him, and perhaps in the future Brown and the newspapers will get him in big trouble for his inappropriate words......

"I know you're very upset right now, Mr. Speaker." Paris smiled and said, "The Kasri College incident has made the whole of America known. My friend in Washington told me something about it, and it was said that our President William was keeping a close eye on the matter, but out of respect for the city of Oakland. Mr. President has not personally called to inquire. But I hope you'll be prepared that maybe tomorrow morning, President William's phone will be in your bedroom......"

Obuck was taken aback, and he was convinced of Paris's words. To know the truth, Wittgenstein knows far more about the inner workings of Washington than he does......

"How's the president's attitude?" Obark asked cautiously.

Paris loosened his shoulders: "I think you probably know the Tao too." The president has always been opposed to racial discrimination, and he does not want the United States to be in such troubles. For President William, the recent situation in the United States and internationally has been enough of a headache for him. In Europe, France, Italy, and Russia have betrayed the United States one after another, and the Fenton government in Britain is also facing a great test...... And at home, the brutal economic situation has left Mr. President with little respite...... If you must want to hear the truth after the Kasri Academy incident, then the only thing I can tell you is that. It was Mr. President who was very angry. He angrily blamed the city of Oakland for its inaction, and he angrily blamed the city of Oakland for its actions, which only put the United States in a more difficult situation......"

The more Obuck listened, the more frightened he became. In his memory. William, the youngest president in American history, was a very calm man. Perhaps a series of changes have caused President William to lose his composure. But in all fairness, the incident in Oakland is too serious, especially not long after the "Lucy Death" incident, a large-scale armed black riot broke out in Oakland, and the leader of any country can lose control even if he is able to bear it......

"I think the situation is still within the limits of what Mr. President can barely bear...... "but if it drags on, it's hard for me to imagine what kind of changes will happen." It seems to me that Mayor Duira and Mayor Douglas have only two options in their current situation, one is to negotiate with the black people of Kasri Academy, and then some of their demands, and the other is to ask for support from the federal army, and I think the appearance of the army will bring the Kasri Academy back into the hands of the city government of Oakland very soon. ”

Obuck calmed himself down and said in a deep voice, "In my opinion, direct military involvement is not a particularly ideal option...... Paris, you've just arrived in Oakland, and you're not particularly familiar with some of the current circumstances, but Oakland has formed a large number of black groups after the Kasri Academy incident, and they are in solidarity with the 'Black Panther Party' within the Kasri Academy, and those members of the 'Black Panther Party' have become heroes in the hearts of the black people. Yes, as soon as the army is directly involved, then I think at most an hour the situation will be calmed down, but this will cause an even greater wave of protests...... There will be more blacks joining the insurrection under the influence of the 'Black Panther Party'......"

Paris understood exactly what Mr. Speaker was worried about. He was reluctant to let Oakland become the biggest scandal in all of America......

"Then there will be only negotiations. But as far as I know. Mayor Duira and Director Douglas were the staunchest opponents of the negotiations. Paris sighed: "They refuse to accept any conditions put forward by the blacks, they refuse to give any rights to the blacks, and this attitude towards the blacks." Of all the federal cities, Auckland is the most determined. Even though we're all white, in private we have to admit that Oakland is terrible at racism......"

Obuck also sighed involuntarily...... But what's the solution? These are all problems that have accumulated for historical reasons......

"Actually, the families of a large number of hostages also want to start negotiations immediately......," Paris said suddenly, "especially Mr. Miles, who was very able to save his son Dove, and I knew Mr. Miles." It was a gentleman of integrity, who had done a lot of good things for our city, and yet he had such a terrible thing to do. Mr. Speaker. I don't know, have you ever thought about why Mayor Duira refused to negotiate so firmly? Or is it something to do with it? ”

"Interests?" Obuck couldn't help but frown.

"Benefits!" Paris accentuated his tone: "In the city of Auckland, there are two largest consortia, one is Mr. Myers' and the other is Mr. Wheeler's. The Wittgensteins had business dealings with them. They are very competitive in all walks of life. Mayor Duira and Director Douglas are closer to Mr. Wheeler......"

Obuck's face showed a look of surprise again, "Do you mean that Duira doesn't want to solve the Kasri Academy problem right away?" ”

"No, I've never said that." Paris smiled faintly: "However, I have some information provided to me by my business partners, Mayor Duila has obviously favored the Weiler Group in the competition for some projects, and he has even given the Weiler Group significant help on the private side, and after the outbreak of the economic crisis, the Weiler Group has also suffered a heavy blow, for which he has to carry out a large number of layoffs." Chief among them were the layoffs of blacks, and the blacks who were sent home did not even receive a single dollar in compensation. For this reason, these blacks also had a serious protest not long ago......"

Obuck was well aware of this, but the black protest was quelled in the face of Duira's hard-line attitude. For this reason, Duira is probably very obsessed with his toughness......

"Miles, who was also in crisis, took a different approach...... "and said Parris unhurriedly, "it is ironic that his son, Dove, was a true racist, but his father, Mr. Myers, was more considerate of the blacks, and that there were very few workers in his group who were fired, and that if they were, they were compensated, for which Mr. Willer told Mayor Duira at a private party that Mr. Miles should have changed his skin color...... It was also after that private party that Mayor Duila added a large sum of money to his bank account......"

Obuck's face changed: "Paris, this is a very serious accusation, can you take responsibility for your words?" ”

Paris was silent for a moment: "Mr. Speaker, I would not have said such a thing without conclusive evidence, this is Mr. Willer's payment for Mayor Duira's successful suppression of black protests, and the amount is about 100,000 dollars or more. But I can't give you the evidence directly, because we also have our principles, and we have our ways. ”

Obuck was able to understand the other party's distress: "I hope what you say is not true, otherwise it will cause Duira a lot of trouble." I will let the independent prosecutor investigate, and if it is verified, I don't know what kind of explanation will be given by Douila Douira. Paris, can I still hope to make sure that you can take responsibility for your words? ”

Paris nodded calmly.

In the United States, there are strict laws governing improper transactions in money by officials. The United States Code Criminal Law Book provides:

A fine not exceeding US$20,000 shall be improperly requested, solicited, demanded, demanded, begged, sought, accepted, accepted or agreed to receive anything of value directly or indirectly for a serving civil servant or a person who has been selected as a public servant; If three times the value of the property received exceeds $20,000, a fine equal to three times the value of the property received shall be punished or imprisonment for a term not exceeding 15 years, or both, and shall be disqualified from honorable, responsible or remunerated public office in the United States.

In 1883, the United States introduced the Civil Service Act, also known as the Pendleton Act. The law clearly stipulates the obligations of government employees, stipulating that "civil servants must be politically neutral, and it is forbidden to participate in political activities such as election campaigns, and it is forbidden to give or receive money".

And now, according to Paris, if Duira really accepted a bribe of $100,000, it would be a big case that shocked the United States, and even far exceeded the Kasri College incident.

Obuck didn't want this to be true, because it would be another major scandal in the city of Oakland. But as the Speaker, he could not remain indifferent to this matter.

At this moment, Obuck was also a little confused.

The city of Auckland is such a terrible city for what it will become! (To be continued......)
