Kongsberg was not only able to spend a lot of money, but also used a lot of business connections to get free advertising time and advertising channels.

This is the most headache and the most helpless for George Duffy.

If he continues to strangle, his campaign pool will soon bottom out, and he will not be able to raise any more money, so he must use all his resources to achieve a quick victory, preferably ending the war within April, otherwise he may fall into an undefeated situation.

But he also has advantages, he is a Yale graduate, and he naturally has a natural intimacy with his younger brothers and sisters, Yale has become the production base of his campaign assistants, and by the way, he has also set up a sub-base in the opponent's lair, making Kongsberg uncomfortable but can only watch - after all, the city of New Haven is built around the university.

……

"Listen, Ed," said George Duffy, "first of all admit that this is a difficult task, an extremely difficult task, and that many people are either related to Burke or his business associates, after all, his family goes back to the Mayflower. ”

"But I don't have a choice right now, even though you're coming to me for the first time and I don't know much about you, but that's all I can do. Frankly, no one in my team is willing to go to these two regions, and no one has much confidence. ”

"To be honest, I don't have much confidence." Edward smiled wryly

"I like your honesty, so I can only rely on you to rush now, because I fought with Burke too hard before, and the campaign funds I raised have been almost used, and the rest can only be used to consolidate the votes that have been obtained to ensure that they will not be attacked by the other side, and for the swing zone, I can't invest more resources."

"Clam...... Elder brother! Belch...... No...... Uncle, you're not just a prostitute, you don't even plan to give out TT money! Do you want me to buy you Viagra? Edward was complaining.

"But you have to understand that if you can do it, you will be rewarded handsomely. You're also a law student, you should understand what I'm talking about? I can even write you a letter of recommendation to the Federal High Court. And, as long as you work hard, even if you can't win these two districts, my promise will still work, but the state attorney general's recommendation is still a little less effective than that of a federal senator. ”

Edward was happy in his heart, and said that this person was indeed a good trader, obviously carrying rice in an empty sack, but he said as if he had taken a big advantage.

But he didn't complain, the status of the two anti-dumping parties is very different, and now he is licking his face and sticking it to help the other party do things, and it is already very good for the other party to give his face a chance like this.

"It seems that you still have to be an official!" After sighing in his heart, his face was solemn: "I will do my best to complete it!" ”

"Okay, I'll leave everything to you in East Haven and Orange Town, tell me if you need anything, and my secretary will give you my itinerary, and I can go and give a speech if necessary, preferably after something is clear."

……

Edward cautiously bypassed the "liberated areas" of the university and returned to his apartment, an errand that was indeed a bit more challenging, unexpectedly large.

It's like playing with your bare hands against an enemy armed to the teeth.

George Duffy's promise sounds great, but this is the country of the United States – a country that has never looked only at profit.

If you can't show enough ability, then the other party will not hesitate to tear up the agreement that did not fall on the text, and in turn, if you want others to value you, you have to behave differently and be a head taller than your peers, so as to attract the attention of the "love talent" of the upper class.

He had originally planned to pull Chris, and the big black man was a good partner, taciturn and thoughtful, but the death of Martin Luther King Jr. left the latter confused.

Every day after school, in addition to reviewing and previewing, he hid in the bedroom and kept muttering, supposedly praying for Dr. Kim.

"The civil rights movement was really powerful, and it seemed that the question of race was more troublesome than the question of religion, and it seemed that the question of race was more troublesome than the question of religion." was complaining in his heart, but seeing Chris's haggard and sad appearance, Edward understood Dr. King's status in the hearts of his black brothers.

"Forget it, forget it. Let him mourn well. A living person must not suffocate his urine. The primary election is in June, and I still have about a month to go. Mother...... East Haven, Orange, two big towns, tsk......"

Chris was indeed so grieved that he couldn't even wake Edward out of the room when he made his favorite tomato scrambled eggs.

"Let's hope he survives." Edward was in a sad mood and ate all the tomato scrambled eggs and oily hooves, "Why don't you change the taste tomorrow and go to KFC to buy some fried chicken?" If he still doesn't eat, he can only call the psychiatric hospital and ask them to come and pull people, and look at the appearance of this guy and have to find Uncle Yang to call. ”

After dinner, he was idle and decided to go to the library to look for materials first.

East Haven and Orange are right next to New Haven, not a lively place, he hasn't been there once, and since he's going to open a dock there, he must be a little rational.

This is a typical New England country town, which looks more similar to where Miss Marple lives, and does not have much of a rice country to speak of, and the residents are mostly old-fashioned and conservative, who like to live quietly, and who are not keen on politics on a daily basis, but the turnout is very high, and it is a pity that they seem to prefer Little Burke, who is from a similar background to them.

"It's all away from home. Hey, not only do you have to spend time and energy, but you also have to spend your own money. ”

The next morning, after no classes, Edward muttered a sum of money from the bank and went straight to East Haven to rent a small house for George Duffy's campaign office in East Haven and Orange.

The rent is not expensive, $100 a month.

By the way, George Duffy paid Edward $50 a week, which means that half of his monthly income is used to pay rent, not counting related expenses such as running water and telephones.

"Damn, what kind of honest façade does the capitalism of the dog day pretend to be, it is originally a game of throwing money, and it turns out that Lao Tzu and the countryside are targeted poverty alleviation, it is really TMD......" scolded and scolded in his mouth, but things still have to be done.

The purple Pondiak became even more flamboyant after being plastered with a fancy campaign slogan, and began to haunt the streets of East Haven.

"This mother's feeling is not right, how can there be a sense of getting a letter of appointment and going to recruit by yourself? Lao Tzu, is this an assistant to the House of Representatives, or the captain of the second brigade and the fourth squad of the second brigade of the Loyal National Salvation Army? FXXXK has nothing but its name! ”

"The ground is shaking under your feet, and the water is flowing around you......" Humming an inexplicable song, Pendiak drove towards New Haven.

In any case, the shelf must be set up first, and the commander of the light pole can't do anything, as for where can his subordinates find it......

This is also a problem, at first he pondered to find Féricher and ask him to provide some subordinates, but then he dismissed the years, Fetcher himself is not even good at addition and subtraction within 100, if he is asked to calculate the division, this guy is estimated to go to the monastery to become a monk, and he will bring a computer wherever he goes, otherwise he can't figure out how much to charge for the tap fee and protection fee, especially when it comes to usury, the compound interest algorithm can make him want to die.

Edward really can't stand it, how can the underworld become bigger and stronger without culture?

So he took the time to teach him a set of ninety-nine multiplication tables, with simple mental arithmetic abacus, and since then Fetcher has earned the name of "accountant" in the family.

The leaders are like this, and their subordinates can naturally imagine that if this group of guys arrives in East Haven, they are afraid that the first reaction of local residents is to call 911 to call the police.

When I arrived at the school, I cautiously bypassed the "liberated area", but I didn't want to be seen by Hansen.

"Hey, Eddard! Come here! Have a drink! The other party greeted warmly with a beer bottle.

Edward was reluctant in every way, but he still had to be perfunctory, now this group of goods is the mainstream of the school, offending them is worse than offending the professor, the professor will not run to your apartment door in the middle of the night to pee or throw a used condom into your balcony, right?

"Hey, buddy, you look good, your territory is a lot bigger." He complimented him against his will.

"Haha, yes, the last interview was really interesting, especially the slogan 'Go to New York,' which made the whole country know about us, and now the Harvard crowd is far inferior to us."

"That's your boss. The train runs fast because of the headband," he said casually, but he cursed in his heart, "Damn, it's good to slip smoothly and don't rhyme in English!" The second half of the sentence: No one takes the lead, the revolution has no momentum, either there are few people, or the hole is wrong...... I can't say it at all, it's really a pearl. ”

"Ahaha, they all say that. Not only graduate students, but also undergraduate students are increasingly joining our revolutionary team, and we want to open fire on the old rice country and create a new Mirican! ”

"Huh?" Edward, as if touched, began to touch his chin and ponder.

Just now I said that there is a shortage of people, but now this is not a ready-made "high-quality" talent in front of me.

As long as Hansen is fooled in, then with his appeal, it should not be a problem to get hundreds or even thousands of "subordinates".

Regardless of whether these guys can work or not, at least it will be a regular roster after registration, on the one hand, it can invite credit, on the other hand, it can be scary to throw it out, isn't it? After all, many Yale students are still in law school. A proper elite reserve.

Besides, if the number of people is more than one sponsor, it is convenient to ask for a subsidy.

But how do you pull in this guy who is drunk all day long and has the smell of big ma?

I can't say that the free white powder tube of beer is enough.
