Given Harvard's current situation, the timing of Brooklyn's entry is delicate. With so many graduates of Harvard Law School every year, not every single one of them is qualified to say 'I'm from Harvard, I'm a Harvard'.

The Haval faction is not bought by anyone! If you want to enter the sight of the Harvard school, you must first show your ability and achieve the same results.

To put it simply, you must have a certain social status in order to be recognized by Harvard as a Harvard person. When a partner of a well-known law firm is put together with a butcher, Harvard will not hesitate to choose the former.

As for the latter? Sorry, we're not familiar. I'm afraid that other alumni will misunderstand future students!

If John Manning hadn't needed a successor, or if Wood Ward hadn't died, would Brooklyn still have the status he has at Harvard?

Can he let the parliament choose himself and expel Barry? I'm afraid not. But excluding John Manning's influence, Brooklyn became the chief justice of the federal district court at the age of less than thirty, and he is also qualified to call himself a Harvard.

It's just a bit fanciful to want the council to expel Barry because of him. At most, he sat in an ordinary seat, like the hundreds of people who didn't say a word for seven hours, and even went to the toilet and had to be careful not to make a sound.

It is precisely because Wood Ward is dead, John Manning is old, Harvard is not in charge, and there is a huge problem with the fundamentals, and it is because of these factors that Brooklyn is where it is now.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Brooklyn is John Manning's designated successor. Whether or not he can conquer the other fifteen people is the first hurdle that Brooklyn needs to pass.

Barry said a lot in the morning, and a few of them made perfect sense. The Federalists don't take seniority that seriously, and don't absolutely think that young people are inferior to older people, but it's not like seniority at all.

The Federation may not have the saying that 'the eyebrows on the lips are not strong', but there are similar proverbs. After all, everyone is the same species, and there may be differences in customs and culture due to regional, historical and other reasons, but the thinking will not be too different.

In the face of a stranger, how to determine whether he is capable or not as quickly as possible? There doesn't seem to be much of an alternative to looking at the resume.

After all, it's the first time we've met, and we don't know each other, so of course we have to talk about the past 'achievements'.

John Manning was not born into the position of Speaker. He fought it out on his own.

John Manning's resume is rich enough that most of you can count it.

John Manning, who relied on his iron wrist to sit in the position of speaker step by step, everyone was convinced. Because you have seen it, you obey it.

Brooklyn? Brooklyn has been tossing and turning more recently, from a penniless ordinary judge to a chief justice, running New York without leakage, and showing a lot of scheming.

Among his peers, even for decades, he is the best. But Harvard is not a new prestigious school, and Harvard is not a 'young man' like Stanford, who is only a hundred years old.

Harvard is a well-established school with a history of 200 years! This is almost on par with the history of the Federation.

The history of Harvard's founding is almost equivalent to the history of the development of the federal judicial system. In the past 200 years of history, Harvard has produced too many amazing historical celebrities.

Brooklyn? I'm sorry! Even if the age limit is equal to Brooklyn, Harvard can still find a whole bunch of people who are better than him.

You can say that they borrowed the east wind of historical development, you can say that they rely on their family background, and you can even say that they are pure shit luck.

But whether it's historical opportunity, family history, or luck, it's not something that Harvard needs to consider. It's not a game, it's not a competition, and no one is giving you a level playing field.

Life is about results. Life is consequentialism. Brooklyn can find 10,000 reasons to refute it, explaining who he is and who he will be, but this is only an assumption, and Harvard is looking at the present.

These 10,000 reasons are nothing more than self-comforting. Brooklyn knew all this, so he didn't complain, even though Barry was riding his face, even though he felt disgusted to be in the same room as Rien who was smirking at him, he didn't say 'it's not fair.'"

'It's not fair' is often just an impotent rage in the face of reality. He uses his value to force Barry away, show his strength, and tell everyone that he is either easy to mess with, or a pawn that Brooklyn dropped first for the first level.

He had to clean up those annoying little gestures first, so that they didn't affect him. Small actions, while not causing big trouble, can be annoying and time-consuming.

With John Manning in the current state of taking medication, leaving the table frequently, and even changing his clothes during the seven-hour meeting, Brooklyn really didn't know how much time he had left.

What's more, the sense of urgency of time does not only come from Harvard, but also from Mr. President. Although it is not written in the constitution, the consensus reached over the years is that the federal presidency needs to be seated by the donkey and the elephant in turn.

But with the incumbent Mr. President in the White House, it seems that the Democrats are not going to abide by the tacit agreement. Long before the shooting, Brooklyn had spoken to Reilly about the subject.

Reilly's view of the current situation was pessimistic, and that's when Brooklyn realized that time was running out.

Deterrence is only the first step, and to earn trust, it is the ability to demonstrate the most important thing. And expressiveness is not just a matter of words.

For example, today, he participated in the whole seven-hour meeting, and after almost seven hours of talking, his voice was hoarse, which was just a foreshadowing.

All of you are Harvard's leaders, no one is stupid, and they will believe whatever Brooklyn says stupidly, or be shocked when they hear Brooklyn put forward any novel ideas, and then the tiger body is shocked, and they are impressed by the domineering spirit exuded by Brooklyn.

Every president speaks much better than Brooklyn when he takes office. One of the reasons why Brooklyn continues to participate actively in the conference is to make a statement.

Showing that he drove Barry away only because Barry provoked him, he didn't want to 'kill all sides'.

In a stable group, when a new member is overly active or aggressive, the other members will show disgust and hostility, whether they are right or not.

Brooklyn's active participation in the meeting was to show that while he was aggressive, he wouldn't turn his gun on 'his own people' as long as he didn't challenge himself like Barry.

Yes, own people. The second is expressiveness. Although people will not believe in 'wonderful speeches', a person who can't even make a 'wonderful speech' obviously makes people doubt his ability even more.

……………… At 8:40 p.m., the meeting ended. Walking through the silent streets, Brooklyn's head has finally cleared up a lot.

He let out a sigh of relief, looking at Thunder, who swept every shadow with a wary face, and thought back to this torturous meeting.

From the questioning in the morning, to the polite handshake at the end, he has earned himself a chance to prove it.

At the same time, Brooklyn was curious about the enthusiastic Burke. At the same time, Harvard Law School, inside the office of John Manning.

Burke was sitting upright in his chair, debriefing on today's meeting. Across the table from him, John Manning was pulling a syringe out of a drawer.

He expertly smashed the vial, tore open the syringe package, sucked up the liquid, and stretched out his arm. Burke picked up the elastic band and helped him tie it up.

After waiting for a while, the blood vessels protrude. John Manning drained the air from the syringe and held his arm up to find a good place to stab.

"What do you think of him?" John Manning asked as he injected himself, as if it wasn't his arm at all.

Burke thought for a moment

"There's a lot of potential."

"Is it just potential?" John Manning coughed, finished the injection, and threw the syringe in the trash.

Burke nodded earnestly

"It's a lot worse now than we were back then." After a pause, he continued

"He's so much worse than you."

"An orphan with no family power to rely on."

"I heard his girlfriend is Mark Millay's daughter?" John Manning pressed the pinhole for a moment and began to lower his rolled sleeves.

"If he does marry Mark Millay's daughter, I'm more worried that he will become Mark Millay's pawn than Aldington can help him." Burke said with some concern

"Mark Millay is an ambitious guy, and the military has always been dishonest. His background is too complicated. ”

"Besides, Mark Milley himself wants to get involved in the judiciary, and Aldington is not in a position to help him in the judicial world." John Manning bowed his head and fastened his cufflinks, but did not make a sound.

In the Federation, and even in the West as a whole, relying on women and eating soft rice has never been an unsightly thing.

The really unsightly thing is that women eat soft rice, but they still have nothing to do, and in the end, their jobs are smashed.

That's the real shame. Burke continued

"He has a clear mind, an accurate analysis of the situation, and a keen sense of opportunity." John Manin had already buttoned up and started to put on his coat, and nodded when he heard this.

Truly. After entering the auditorium, when he arrived, he found that he was alone, and immediately set his eyes on himself, pulling himself as his 'backup', and using Barry's difficulties to force himself to make a choice.

Or rather, is that the choice? Do you have a choice? Thinking of this, John Manning shook his head.

Burke didn't understand what John Manning meant for a moment, and he was stunned and stopped talking.

"Go on." John Manning put on his coat, pulled a cigar out of a drawer, tossed one to Burke, and said.

"But his vision and insight are too limiting for him." Burke took the cigar and sniffed it under his nose as he continued

"That's an almost insurmountable chasm." John Manning snorted, sounding not very happy.

"Don't forget, decades ago, the three of us were all villagers." John Manning tapped his cigar on the edge of the table and said dissatisfied.

Burke was stunned for a moment, his eyes a little wandering, as if he was recalling something. But he quickly came to his senses and shook his head

"It's different."

"At that time, everyone was a Xiangba Lao, we were a Xiangba Lao, and our opponent was also a Xiangba Lao."

"It's different now."

"He's a countryman, but his opponent isn't." John Manning snorted and waved his hand

"Nothing different."

"We're not dealing with the countryman." Burke did not argue with John Manning. He continued

"And the color of his skin." John Manning smoked his cigar slowly, and the clouds of smoke soon enveloped him, making his expression unreal.

Hidden in the smoke, his voice was a little erratic.

"You also think his skin color is the biggest problem?" Burke shook his head

"Nope."

"I think his biggest problem is that he's getting too close to Lynn."

"Who?" John Manning asked suspiciously, suspecting that he had misheard. Burke confirmed

"Laili." In the Federation, the most likely way to form a person's 'big name' is: first name + middle name + patronymic.

The middle name may be the mother's surname or the name of a parent, a friend, or a grandfather, a grandfather, or a benefactor, or a place name, or ...... You can add anything to it.

The everyday way people call a person is usually not the full name, but a simple first name + patronymic.

It's much more casual to be affectionate. For example, Ray and David often call Brooklyn Blue, or even B.

Lane is also a friend's affectionate name for Lyry Crewe. John Manning stopped talking.

"We still don't know how deeply Lyrie Crewe influenced him." Burke continued

"But from the retired soldier he brought with him, it can be seen that it is definitely not without influence."

"John, frankly, I think you were too reckless in choosing him."

"I don't want Harvard Law School to be in the thick of the future."

"Compared to a complete withdrawal from the stage of history—" John Manning said in a fierce voice after a long silence

"I'd rather Harvard be red all over the place."

"If he really has that ability." Burke shook his head and said no more. He thought John Manning was a little stunned.

If they were really so reluctant, the three of them would not have parted ways back then, so they would have just let Lylee Crewe toss!

At least Burke thinks Brooklyn is inferior to Lenley Crewe. Although Lyrie Crewe tossed himself to death.

But at least they almost succeeded. Even if you toss yourself to death, it will mobilize a large number of contacts, and the layout will take a long time, and it will take a long time and effort to die.

Wouldy Crewe dare to toss so much in the Federation, and toss such a big mess, isn't this better than Brooklyn?

Thinking of Lylee Crewe's relationship with Brooklyn, Burke shook his head silently and glanced at John Manning quietly.

Would Brooklyn come into your sights without a relationship with Lyleigh Crewe? Burke was skeptical.
