Burke's explanation was not long in coming.

"Now all eyes of the Federation are on New York. Anything that happens in New York will be scrutinized by all sides. Burke said earnestly

"Brooklyn, you've become guinea pigs." Brooklyn raised an eyebrow, not too happy with Burke's explanation.

"Who? What to look into? Burke was silent for a moment and said

"The outcome of your battle may determine the future of the entire Commonwealth."

"The clamps on various parts of the federal government are getting worse, and there is information that some people are concerned about the current state of the federation and they need to confirm that the federation is still under the jurisdiction of the federal government and not other organizations."

"Brooklyn, I'm not spying on you, but every move in New York is under federal surveillance."

"Victory or defeat between you is crucial."

"Now, even if you plan to make a truce, there will be people pushing both of you to continue." What is the essence of the struggle in New York?

In fact, it is the confrontation between the government and capital. On the surface, it seems that the situation is evenly matched, but this is actually enough alarm for some people.

Brooklyn was pleased with Burke's explanation.

"Brooklyn, even if you don't trust me, I'm still the best person for you to work with. Don't doubt me anymore, I've always been honest in our conversations. Burke said

"John's affection for Harvard is deep, isn't it true that I?"

"Like John, I want Harvard to get better. It's not for my own sake. "Burke was as honest as ever.

"What if we fail?" Brooklyn asked.

"If you fail......" Burke said

"Brooklyn, you should plan your route for the future now. Harvard needs a voice that can provide strong support in politics. And not the second John Manning. ”

"So, you'd better not fail."

"They're just looking at it, and they're not going to help?" Brooklyn asked again.

"On the scale of the Confederation, none of you can help."

"What about them?"

"They don't have anyone to help."

"So our confrontation is fair?" Brooklyn laughed out loud when he asked.

"It's fair." Burke replied. Brooklyn was tempted to ask where Burke got the news, but he didn't.

That's not a good question.

"Okay, I got it." Brooklyn chuckled

"When you say that, I'm a little stressed."

"The real pressure is Reilly Winston." Burke Road

"He should know something."

"Brooklyn, it's Reilly Winston who really represents the government, and you represent the justice system." What does Frank stand for?

Military? Brooklyn couldn't help but think.

"New York is a game where you both have to play within the rules."

"What if we win?" Brooklyn asked suddenly. Burke was silent for a moment and said

"If you win, it will give them confidence and let some people know that the Federation is still under the control of the government."

"I'm talking about us." Brooklyn emphasized

"If we win, what will happen to us? Are there no prizes for the contest? If this were a football match, would we be surrounded by opposing fans? When blocked, will the referee take action? ”

"No, it won't." Burke replied almost coldly.

"Micice are worthless after the experiment. is an object that needs to be disposed of. ”

"So, Brooklyn, you should trust me, cooperate with me, and stop meaningless temptations and internal friction, your situation is terrible, you can only rely on Harvard."

"What about them?" Brooklyn didn't answer the question, but asked.

"Reilly Winston will be protected by the Republican Party based on his valuable experience. If you win, Reilly Winston will rise to the top of the party, and his importance to both sides cannot be overstated. The government needs his experience. Burke only mentioned Reilly Winston, which shows that Frank is just like him, guinea pig.

"Thank you for the news, Burke. This has worked very well for me. Brooklyn still didn't answer Burke's question.

Burke didn't mention it again and hung up silently. Brooklyn held the phone, was silent for a moment, and dialed Winston's number.

Burke's implication was that Winston had known about this for a long time, and had been deliberately hiding it from them, implying that Winston had betrayed Brooklyn.

But Brooklyn didn't quite believe it, and he planned to test it for himself. The phone rang for a while before it was answered.

"Thanks to you, I'm so busy right now that I can only take your calls in the bathroom. I hope you don't mind. Winston's signature tease came.

"I don't mind, I just wish you had washed your hands before you answered the phone, otherwise I wouldn't have eaten for lunch." Brooklyn automatically enters the familiar chat mode and begins to taunt each other.

There was a sound of water running from the other side.

"Wait a minute. I just unbuttoned my pants. The sound of the water was over, the footsteps sounded, and after taking two steps, there was another sound of running water, and Winston seemed to be washing his hands.

"What's the matter, tell me." Winston asked

"You're not going to call me if it's okay."

"Well, don't act like a mistress who has been left out in the cold. I'm not interested in you. Brooklyn Road.

"Haha!" Winston burst out laughing

"Even if I were gay, I wouldn't look for you like this."

"That's great, I wouldn't look for you like that. Hear Jerry say you're asking about the mysterious formula for hair loss? Brooklyn asked maliciously.

Winston was a little embarrassed, but the fear of losing his hair soon overcame it

"You see, people in that country in the East rarely lose their hair, and they must have some mysterious formula for maintaining their hair. Do you know any of these? We can start a shampoo company together, and we know that hair loss is a problem all over the world! ”

"Nope." Brooklyn rolled her eyes

"If there were, someone would have set up a company to make the kind of shampoo you fantasize about."

"Really, not?" Winston was a little disappointed, and then asked unwillingly.

"As far as I know, no."

"Maybe you don't know enough about that country. Even though you're Asian, you don't live in that country. You haven't even been. Winston didn't seem to give up yet, soothing himself with a reason

"I should find someone to inquire."

"Okay, don't worry about your hair." Brooklyn brings the conversation back on track.

"I just got word that someone is watching us and is going to use us as guinea pigs to confirm that the Federation is still in the hands of the Federation." Brooklyn's words are awkward, and they are too simple compared to the truth.

But Reilly Winston, as a professional politician, immediately understood what Brooklyn was trying to say.

"Who said that? Why haven't I heard of it? Winston frowned and said that he instinctively wanted to refute it, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this news made a lot of sense and did not necessarily mean that it was false.

"Wait, I need to make a few phone calls." Winston said.

"Good. Notify me of the news. Twenty minutes later, Winston's phone called.

"I haven't heard of anything like that." Winston Road

"But there are people who are unhappy with the fact that you have issued an arrest warrant in the style of printing money, and it may be that they have bribed a certain parliamentarian, and it seems that the Judicial Conduct Committee is going to initiate an investigation into you. Brooklyn, you've got to be careful. After saying the news, Winston asked strangely

"I thought you were in touch before you did." Brooklyn's face was a little ugly

"I thought that was the case, but now it seems that I need to deal with the 'personal matter' first." ……………… Boston, General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport.

An international flight landed, and Anthony Kennedy walked out of the terminal in the dust. An hour and a half later, Anthony Kennedy broke straight into Burke's office.

"Burke Forsman." Anthony Kennedy stood in front of Burke and glanced at the rest of the room.

Burke waved his hand and kicked the man out.

"What the hell do you want to do?" Anthony Kennedy asked.

"Launching an investigation into Brooklyn Lee? What do you think? ”

"I want him to retreat." Burke stood up.

"Let him retreat? Did you know that this might ruin him? ”

"I've reminded him." Burke Road

"Brooklyn has been rocking on a lot of issues."

"Between us and John Manning, between Lyleigh Crewe and the Federation, and that Ray Leonard next to him, that intelligence broker Michael Desciato."

"I'm not John Manning."

"I don't feel comfortable putting Harvard in the hands of someone who could betray the Union at any moment."

"Anthony, I may not have the same ambition as John and you, but I don't have any weaker feelings for Harvard than you do. There's no way I'm going to watch him ruin Harvard. ”

"I have to make sure he can make the right choice among these wavering options, or I won't give him Harvard." Anthony Kennedy looked at Burke and sneered

"Heh, Harvard isn't yours."

"It's true that Harvard is not mine, but Harvard is not his." Burke immediately retorted.

"He has to be made to see the situation clearly and make the right choice. A good leader can't always vacillate between two choices, let alone delay making a choice. Burke Road

"I'm helping him make a choice."

"I think you're framing him." Anthony Kennedy didn't eat Burke's set, and said with a sneer

"Burke, don't think I don't know what you're having, don't take everyone for fools."

"There are a lot of great young people at Harvard, and we don't have to be Brooklyn." Burke said calmly

"If he can't make the right choice, I don't mind training someone else."

"It's the right choice for you!"

"As it stands, no one in the whole of Harvard is more accurate in my judgment of the future." Burke nodded, graciously admitting.

"As I told John, Brooklyn Lee lacks the big picture, he lacks insight. He had no idea what what his actions meant to Harvard. New York was already a big scene for him. ”

"I have to help him grow up as quickly as possible, see the bigger picture, and develop his big-picture vision, otherwise Harvard will be sidelined from him."

"You don't want Harvard out either, do you?" Anthony Kennedy was not persuaded by Burke, he pulled over the chair and sat in front of Burke, said with a gloomy face

"Burke Forsman, your desire to control is too strong."

"You were like that when you were around John. If John does something that doesn't meet your requirements, you immediately kick him out. Now it's Brooklyn Lee's turn. Sooner or later, you'll kick everybody out of Harvard. ”

"No one fits your ideas perfectly, they are people, living individuals, not puppets in your hands."

"Also, don't put on a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance in front of me, I have seen a lot of righteous and awe-inspiring politicians. The more righteous and awe-inspiring the appearance, the more dirty and ugly selfishness becomes. ”

"John at least led Harvard back to its glory, he at least kept Harvard's position, what about you? What have you done? You'll just hide behind his back and play some tricks that don't get into the flow. ”

"Under your smiling mask, it's just an ugly selfish face." In the face of Anthony's personal attacks, Burke remained calm, he said

"What you think of me, that's your business. If that's what you think, that's a shame. ”

"Whatever you think, I love Harvard no less than you do."

"If you really love Harvard, stop the exclusion and suppression of your peers immediately!" Anthony exclaimed.

"I'm just preparing for a future successor." Burke said lightly

"The people I drove away, they're just a bunch of pests lying on Harvard's body and sucking blood. Nothing positive can be done for Harvard, except for discrediting Harvard. ”

"Our members are mixed, but you close your eyes and pretend you don't see. Did they hurt Harvard less? ”

"You are just afraid of offending people, afraid of hurting your own interests, and pretending not to see. If you pretend you can't see them, they don't exist, and they don't do Harvard. ”

"Since no one has come forward to be this wicked person, then I'll do well."

"I'll give back a clean Harvard to my future successor!"

"But please don't stand in my way."

"Is this a warning?" Anthony laughed angrily.

"You can think so." Burke nodded earnestly

"Whoever dares to stop is my enemy." This is the Burke that no one has ever seen. He is no longer mild-mannered, and the kind side of the smile in the past is completely gone, replaced by a compelling edge.

He thought of a cold butcher, holding a butcher's knife, looking indifferently at the livestock in front of him, considering where to start.

Anthony looked at the murderous Burke and lost his mind for a while. This sharp Burke is strange and familiar.

He thought about it for a long time, and then a green face came out of the depths of his memory, slowly overlapping with the one in front of him.
