Chapter 114: Acomo's Determination
'McCarthyism' refers to the anti-communist and xenophobic movement in the United States promoted by Senator McCarthy between 1950 and 1954.
The cause of this incident can be traced back to 45 years, the end of World War II, the beginning of the Cold War, the House of Representatives passed, the "House of Representatives Committee of Inquiry into Non-American Activities" and changed to a permanent body, in just one year, there were 34,700 strikes in the United States, involving 4.5 million workers, quite a "red" sign.
The House Committee of Inquiry into Non-American Activities declared that 'the unions have been overrun by red infiltrators'.
In the face of the red output, the upper echelons of the United States were extremely panicked, and anti-communism became the mainstream.
This led to the "American-Asia" magazine incident, in which six people, including John Johnson, a US State Department official and diplomat stationed in Yana, were put on trial, and the "Daily" regarded the incident as a "watershed in Sino-US relations."
During his election to the Wisconsin Senate, McCarthy was named the 'worst senator' of the year for his illegal participation in futures trading, gambling, alcoholism, corruption, bribery, and solicitation of women.
Faced with this situation, McCarthy delivered a speech entitled "*** in the State Department" at the Republican Women's Club on February 9, 1950, Lincoln's birth anniversary.
He claimed that he had "a list of 205 people" in his hands, "all of whom were members of *** and spy networks," and that "the Secretary of State knew that these people on the list were ***, but these people were still drafting and formulating State Department policy." ”
At this point, he suddenly became a political star, known as the 'Huilin Speech' in history.
After the outbreak of the Korean War, McCarthy set off a wave of "exposing and investigating the activities of the United States Government," and even called the 20 years of treason "20 years of treason" for the Democratic Party under the pretext that someone in the Truman administration had secretly "fornicated with the Soviet Union," "betrayed the Chiang clique," and "helped the United States."
In 1953 alone, McCarthy's committee held more than 600 "investigations" against Robert Oppenheimer, Albert Einstein, Qian Xuesen, Charlie Chaplin, and so on......
With a list of 'unwarranted', engaged in a political blackmail that lasted for 4 years, and the later McCarthy really thought he could do anything, and finally angered the military in 54 years, and was unloaded and killed by the established 'Eisenhower'.
Now, Sean is ready to use this 'notebook' in his hand to play a short-term 'blackmail', so that the foundation of the Dimio Group in New Jersey politics will be completely disconnected.
……
"Akowo is crazy, I said a long time ago, he is completely insane, he actually killed Mackintosh." Tony sneered and looked at the few people in front of him, and said in a cold voice: "He has a terminal illness, and his son has turned against him again, he has gone completely crazy, and he will drag everyone to his funeral." ”
"No, what did he kill Mackintosh for?" An old man wondered.
"Mackintosh resigned because of him, didn't he kill Mackintosh, could it be Hal? Or did it to my Tony. Tony sneered.
Everyone looked at each other, it was definitely not them, and the rest of the people could only be Akowo.
"It's a good opportunity, you know." Tony looked at everyone, and said with a tone full of demagogy: "Those people above are all panicking now, Dimio has been in New Jersey for more than 50 years, those people are afraid of being exposed to some scandal, and now what they want to see most is Acomo die!" ”
"Everybody's going to support us, you know? Now is the perfect time! ”
"As long as we show our strength, we will definitely be able to kill Akowo in one fell swoop, and ...... then"
……
Late at night, Akowo sat alone in the living room, the living room was dark, only the cigar in his mouth flickered and flickered.
After sitting for hours, Acomo slowly got up and walked out, opened the door, and said to his men at the door, "Go to Bradley's side." ”
Late at night, Acomo walked into the villa where his son Bradley was under house arrest and stayed for two full hours before leaving, no one knowing what he said.
……
Just after dawn the next day, Acomo got into a nondescript pickup truck and left Trenton.
The pickup truck appeared at a manor house in Camden, and Acomo got out of the car and was led into the manor house.
There were already a lot of people sitting in the hall of the villa, all of them looking young, and their eyes were a little strange when they saw Acomo coming in.
It's only been a week, and Akomo's back has begun to be a little rickety, and he is much haggard, and he has lost his former domineering demeanor.
"Guys, I asked Barr to bring you over today." After sitting down, Akowo looked around the crowd and then said slowly: "I know now you all think I'm crazy and think I did all these things, but I have to say that I'm fine. ”
Acomo nodded his head, "Unprecedented soberness." ”
"I'll admit that I've sent people to hunt down Tony and them in the recent past, but what happened before wasn't what I did, and as for the evidence, no."
Everyone looked at each other, and you didn't say a word to Jill......
"It's only a few o'clock, a few days ago, it happened that the right tire of the vehicle carrying the goods exploded at the same time and caused it to roll over, it happened to be at the door of the police station, it happened that there were goods inside, and it happened that the goods were seen by everyone, and it happened that someone took a photo when I was about McIntosh, and it happened that the photo was exposed by the media."
"Don't you think it's all too much of a coincidence, I've never seen it in all these years."
"And Mackintosh just resigned and killed more than a man."
"In just one week, everything broke out together, hehe, to say that all this is not calculated by anyone, I don't believe it!"
'There's a guy behind it all, and he's not just targeting me, it's the whole of Dimio.
"Guys, I don't know who's behind it, but if the people behind the scenes succeed and my Apula family is finished, you won't end well."
Acomo knew that relying on these words alone was useless, even if what he said was true.
If these old stubborns really had a vision and a smart person, then the biggest family of Dimio would not be Aple.
So, "You know, I had liver cancer, and I was supposed to be on the operating table for the surgery, but now ...... Everything is delayed! ”
As he spoke, Acomo's face turned hideous, "I came today for two purposes. ”
"First, end the civil strife in Dimio as soon as possible, and second, find out who is behind it."
"For this reason, I am willing to abdicate completely after the matter is over, and the position of head of the family will also be handed over to Bradley."
As soon as these words came out, a group of people at the scene were in an uproar.
