Chapter 396, Betrayer: Brooklyn!

"You're constantly dividing Harvard so that people can't really come together, and that sentiment is spreading to the students."

"You're always worried that someone is bad for Harvard, that someone is seizing power, that someone is framing Harvard, and that you don't believe anyone but yourself."

"You asked Burke Forsman to spy on everyone secretly, and soon you realized that it wasn't going to work, and you couldn't see anything at all, so you arranged for the role of Ryan Sberg. Let him be your opposite, and you let him play it, wanting to see who will stand against you. ”

"This kind of thinking that there is no problem to create a problem is constantly spreading downward, and everyone is back into infighting, and no one has the heart to do the right thing."

"The root of the problem is you, Professor John Manning!"

"It was your blind tossing idea that tossed Harvard to this point!"

"You have indeed glorified Harvard, you have glorified Harvard, you have been a hero of Harvard, you have been a savior! But now, you've become a stumbling block to Harvard's progress, Professor John. ”

"The problem you created has ruined Harvard's future," Brooklyn said, and the conference room was silent.

Everyone was stunned by his bold words.

"As a member of parliament." Brooklyn said calmly

"I'm going to submit a proposal."

"On whether John Manning's mental and physical state can continue to serve as Speaker."

"Parliamentarians are invited to vote." With that, Brooklyn pressed the voting button, and the green light went on. After a brief hesitation, the icons light up one after another.

Green, Red, Red, Red, Green, Green, Red, Green, Green, Red...... When the last icon lit up, everyone stared at the results of the vote with wide eyes in disbelief.

9:7! Green 9, Red 7! Passed! John Manning, deposed...... John Manning's expression was glazed, staring straight at the result of the vote, his lips pursed into a straight line.

Brooklyn glanced at Burke Forsman, who was in the dark, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief. From the beginning of standing on the opposite side of John Manning, until now, everything has settled, and it is exactly the same as Burke Forsman's calculations.

Including every poll result!! Brooklyn's speech at the meeting, although he thought of it, was also reminded by Burke Forsman.

Burke Forsman said

"The first vote, most likely, was 9-7 and could not be passed. We need the help of a second congressman, and Anthony Kennedy is the right person to start a new round of voting. At the same time, he was qualified to hold John Manning back from the end of the meeting. Burke Forsman did not give advice on how to move Anthony, but gave Brooklyn an analysis of Anthony's character

"He's a very easy-going guy, he's more of a real person than most of us. He likes to enjoy and hates work, and he is more likely to be influenced by sensuality than by constant interests. So Brooklyn successfully impressed Anthony with 'upholding the fairness and justice of justice and the law'.

But frankly, when he said those words, Brooklyn thought that Anthony had really left the computer, and his heart was cold at that time.

Impress Anthony, and the rest will be simple. According to Burke Forsman's analysis, Anthony and John Manning have different views, and there will inevitably be conflicts.

But Burke doesn't think the outcome of the vote will change after Anthony proposes the proposal.

"The biggest possibility is 8:8, which requires a vote of the speaker." As it turned out, Burke's prediction was accurate.

Then there's Brooklyn. Burke crafted his lines for Brooklyn's debut. After the previous discussion between himself and Anthony, Brooklyn moved his affection and reason, and on the premise of respecting John Manning, persuaded with a posture of 'for your good', and finally put forward a resolution, which has a high probability of convincing those who support John Manning.

In order to increase the success rate, Burke revealed to Brooklyn the real reason why Harvard was stuck and even regressed.

"The maximum probability is 7:9, the small probability is 8:8, or even 9:7." Burke Forsman said at the time

"If that's the case, we need to run to Mexico. There are people left behind by Laili, and we can live a little more comfortably in the second half of our lives. "Now that the results are finally in, they don't have to go into exile in Mexico...... The room was still silent, and no one spoke.

The silence seemed to spread from inside and outside the screen, and the whole world seemed to fall silent.

John Manning has been deposed!! The scene that Burke Forsman had envisioned in advance really happened! But Brooklyn felt a little unreal.

John Manning! That's John Manning! John Manning is a special presence to Harvard.

For so many years, he has been like a needle that fixes the sea. With him, outsiders don't dare to rashly provoke Harvard's people, with him, no one in Harvard dares to really turn against him, with him, the Harvard faction is an indispensable part of the federal judicial system, and it is the part that no one dares to ignore!

As he said, he gave Harvard a new glory, let Harvard regain its glory, so that Harvardians can proudly introduce themselves to anyone when they leave the campus - I am a Harvard!

is such a person, in such an online conference room, quietly dismissed!

It was in this room that it was in this room, witnessed by 16 important pillars of Harvard, that it came to an end!

Brooklyn suddenly thought of Lyleigh Crewe. It doesn't matter whether Lyley Crewe's downfall was self-inflicted or was manipulated by John Manning, who was strikingly similar to the fate of his once most reliable friend.

Lyric Crewe's moral conduct makes people regard him as sacred, but the holy will one day be thrown off the altar and fall into the dust, so what about today?

Did they do the same thing to John Manning as they did to Lyleigh Crewe?

Are they also pulling a god down the altar? Brooklyn didn't know, he just sighed. By the time he came to his senses, someone was already talking.

It was Justice Anthony who spoke—Brooklyn didn't know if he was the first to break the silence, but his mind was a little dazed.

"John, this is the result of a decision made by everyone." Brooklyn only had time to hear Anthony's last words.

John Manning has been silent since the results came out, Anthony had been rambling a lot, introducing him to the beauty of retirement life, inviting him to ski in Europe, he kept silent, and waited for Anthony to finish, and he didn't speak.

There was silence in the room again. Brooklyn recalls Burke Forsman's analysis. According to Burke's predictions, John Manning now has two options in front of him.

One option is to rebel. He disagrees with the results of the parliamentary vote, demands a re-vote or leads his supporters to 'restoration', directly eliminating all those who vote for him, as well as the two 'anti-thief leaders' Burke and Brooklyn, to continue his rule over Harvard.

In Burke's analysis, the probability that John Manning would choose this path is zero. Because the first thing that hurts is Harvard as a whole.

Cleaning up Burke and Brooklyn may not be much of a deal to Harvard, but it sends a dangerous signal to others that he is going to be Harvard's dictator.

The other seven who voted for it were not going to sleep well, and they always had the feeling that John Manning would take revenge on them and settle accounts with them.

This kind of speculation drives people crazy and forces them to prepare. Even if John Manning came to his senses and chose to let them go, they wouldn't believe him.

The result of driving half of the members of the council crazy was a complete split in the Harvard faction. Just like that split more than 180 years ago.

The split devastated Harvard, and added an enemy who knew Harvard better than all its opponents—Yale.

What about this split? What kind of monster will it create? If John Manning had been young, or if he had been in the same physical condition as Burke, he might have had the courage to gamble.

But he is not young anymore, he is so sick that he doesn't even know if he can see Christmas this year.

For John Manning, Harvard was the most important thing, and as he said, he was willing to give his life for Harvard.

Therefore, it is basically impossible for him to choose this path. Then he is left with only a second option - obedience.

Obey the decision of the parliament and obediently abdicate to make way for Xian. Not only that, in order to prevent Harvard from being harmed and to prevent those who support him from being dissatisfied, he will also take the initiative to help the new speaker accept these people, or make these people disappear.

Burke Forsman, as the old friend who knew John Manning best and worked with him for the longest time, made great use of every inch of John Manning's skin and every pore.

In Burke's words at the time

"He may be angry, he will be furious, and he will not be able to accept this reality, but he will accept it, because this is the Harvard that he has been guarding all his life. For the sake of Harvard, he will take it. Burke proved to be the man who knew John Manning best.

After a brief silence — perhaps finally recovering from shock — John Manning broke out.

The old man roared angrily at Burke Forsman, his momentum was so strong and his voice was so loud that it made people wonder if this was really the hair of a sick man with less than a year of life left?

"Burke Forsman!!" The old man's roar directly caused the microphone to emit a screeching electric sound.

"How dare you!"

"How dare you!!"

"How dare you do this to me!!"

"Are you blind?"

"Who is deceiving people's hearts, you are blind, can't you see it! Kicked me out of the council! How dare you do this!! His roar echoed throughout the room.

Everyone listened in silence, and no one dared to interject. But everyone knows that this is probably John Manning's last rant.

John Manning roared angrily for nearly twenty minutes, and everyone listened in silence. During this period, Bob Nelly and others came to knock on the door, but they were all driven away by Brooklyn.

Finally. 2:07 p.m. John Manning finished venting, perhaps tired, he stopped his ranting, and the conference room fell silent again.

But this silence was quickly broken by Burke.

"John, I'm sorry it turned out like this, but this result should be the best for you, for Harvard, for everyone."

"We have to move on to the next item."

"We need a new speaker."

"Didn't you always want to sit in my place?" John Manning sneered. His voice was a little hoarse, probably caused by the long time he had just roared.

Burke shook his head

"No, John, you are wrong, I never intended to replace you in the first place. You and I both know in our hearts that I am not fit to be the Speaker. The location is just right. ”

"Brooklyn Lee." John Manning turned his gun on Brooklyn again

"Aren't you jumping up and down all the time, can't you wait to sit in this position? Why don't you keep quiet? Brooklyn didn't say anything.

He was weighing whether he should stand up for speaker. At this time, there are pros and cons to standing up for the speaker.

On the plus side, he may be able to run successfully. Although he himself lacks prestige and is at the bottom of the 16, he has the support of Anthony and Burke, and John Manning will support him when he calms down.

In any case, Brooklyn was John Manning's hand-picked successor, and if he didn't support Brooklyn, he really didn't have a shy bit of decency.

But there are drawbacks to doing so. John Manning had just been ousted from power, and he couldn't wait to run for office, which would cast a shadow over him as a 'betrayer'.

And what he did was in fact enough to bear the title of 'betrayer'. This will make him unsteady from the start.

The Federation also pays attention to 'being famous' and 'justifiable', otherwise Mr. President would not have taken out a small bottle of laundry detergent, but directly waved his hand...... He became the speaker at this time, and if he was not justified, he would become a de facto 'betrayer'.

"I nominate Anthony Kennedy." Brooklyn is still weighing the pros and cons, and Burke Forsman has already begun the nomination.

He didn't beat around the bush and took Anthony out directly. The corners of Brooklyn's mouth twitched as she listened. Anthony is really a professional backbiter...... John Manning starred in the taunt again

"Huh! Anthony, didn't you say retirement is good? Still doing this with Burke Forsman? You can just say if you're not happy with me! You're disgustingly hypocritical! "Now John Manning is like a child, with nowhere to vent his grievances, he can only scold whoever he catches.

Anthony was a little confused, but he quickly reacted.

"Burke, I've got enough to help you." Anthony Kennedy, as a federal justice, is not a simple-minded White Lotus.

If he was used by Burke before, he hadn't reacted because he had been retired for too long and was out of the way, but the first time Burke reached out to pull him, he reacted.
