If there's a choice, no one likes to break through. People praise the courage of breaking the kettle, but forget that it is the only way out, not a choice at all.

Now, Brooklyn vaguely sees a new route, and he intends to confirm it. On the first call, Brooklyn called Burke.

Now that Brooklyn has more important things to do, he can't take care of the struggle for power within Harvard, so naturally he won't crack down on Burke Forsman.

Even because he asked Burke about something, he would try to soften his tone.

"Burke, I'd like to ask you something." Burke seemed to have forgotten the unpleasantness just now, and asked with a smile

"What's the matter?" Brooklyn may not be like a prophet like Burke, but they do have an anticipation of what they are doing.

To do this, Brooklyn put three locks. The first lock is the federal government. It's a very broad, very large force.

Brooklyn + Frank + Winston represents the federal government. However, this can only deter the general Xiaoxiao, and serve as a deterrent to the forces that are not strong enough and still try to participate in it.

Like gangs. The second lock is the judicial system. This is a force that extends from the first lock, and it is more specific than the first lock.

They have been tossing and turning in New York for so long, and no one has resorted to crooked methods such as assassination and shooting, relying on the legitimacy of the judicial system.

The third lock is Harvard and the Republican Party. Compared to the first two locks, this third lock is more specific and more deterrent.

The first lock can deter the gangsters, the second lock can deter some stinky fish and shrimp, so that they can only compete within the rules, and the third lock can deter all enemies from acting rashly.

But what they didn't expect was that Harvard and the Republican Party did have a strong deterrent effect, but it was not enough to deter all enemies.

Or more precisely, Brooklyn they didn't expect that the fat piece of New York would be so tempting that it would lead the enemy to unite.

Now that the three locks they set up in Brooklyn have all been broken, if you don't want to make a wedding dress for someone else, and be sent away with 170 million like an insult to Hanako, you must seek new security as soon as possible.

Brooklyn has set its sights on Harvard.

"How many people at Harvard are ready to reach out to New York?" Brooklyn asked. Burke didn't answer immediately, and he was silent for a full two minutes before he spoke.

"I've gotten rid of the people who reached out to New York." Brooklyn was silent for a moment, not understanding what it meant.

Now the competitive landscape at Harvard is clear. Burke Forsman, Anthony Kennedy, and Brooklyn Lee are vying for the next Speaker, and the old Speaker, John Manning, is not promising.

Among them, Burke Forsman was the strongest and the most individual, which forced the other two to join forces to fight.

Anthony Kennedy, on the other hand, has a great reputation and a wide range of connections, and is in second place after Burke.

Although Brooklyn Lee is the next successor designated by the previous speaker, as a newcomer, his strength is not enough to compete with the previous two, and he needs to play the role of a weight more often, moving which side is lighter.

Now it's Burke Forsman who is singing all the way and Anthony Kennedy is losing and falling, so Anthony and Brooklyn are actually allies and rivals with Burke Forsman.

In this situation, Burke Forsman should wish Brooklyn was finished.

"The competition between us should be healthy competition." Seems to have guessed that Brooklyn could not understand, Burke explained

"New York is the territory you are prepared to occupy, and if New York is completely in your hands, it will be beneficial to Harvard, and I will not allow people to harm Harvard's interests."

"Now there is an opportunity to expand the benefits of Harvard." Brooklyn nodded, taking advantage of the situation.

"I need to think about it." Burke didn't wait for Brooklyn to say what the opportunity was. He seems to be well aware of what is happening within the Federation.

"Consider what?" Brooklyn was in a hurry, but he asked patiently.

"What you are facing is the pressure of the entire Federation, and Harvard will help you share the pressure, and the benefits you need may not be lower than theirs." After Burke finished speaking, he smiled and said again

"Of course, you are from Harvard, Harvard will never let others suffer, and I will not send you away with at least 170 million."

"And how much are you going to send us with?" Brooklyn asked. Burke asked rhetorically

"How much can you give?" Brooklyn didn't answer, but asked again

"Can Harvard handle the pressure?"

"That's what worries me as well." Burke was honest. But the more honest he was, the more scared Brooklyn became.

The last time Burke performed candidly, John Manning was kicked out of Harvard.

"I have a way." Brooklyn Road.

"Do you mean your proposal?" Burke asked. Brooklyn was momentarily speechless. Yes, he had a proposal in mind.

By now, Brooklyn is on the verge of being persuaded by arguments against the proposal. Submit a proposal now, and it is almost impossible to pass.

But this is not a problem, and proposals can be seen as a challenge to the legislative power by the judicial system, and if they are properly operated, they can become bait for the judiciary to provoke the legislative power.

Let the entire judicial power oppose the legislative power, and let the enemies who insult Hanako fight among themselves, weaken the enemy's power, and divide them.

That's how Brooklyn came up with it.

"Brooklyn, you're thinking too much of them." Burke said

"It's just a proposal and it's not going to bring any benefit. Compared to the alluring aroma of New York, the proposal is nothing short of stinking shit, not appealing at all. ”

"Without visible benefits, it is impossible to lure them into doing so with their vague rhetoric."

"Do you have any good ideas?" Brooklyn asked humbly. Burke Road

"This is a deal you made with Harvard, and I represent Harvard, so why should I tell you?" Brooklyn was silent for a moment and said

"We want New York to become Baghdad or Jerusalem, and we can't get it, and no one can think of it."

"We're in a meeting, and if Harvard can't give the right price, we're going to have to do that."

"Baghdad and Jerusalem are in the Middle East, this is the Federation, Brooklyn, and you think things too simply, and your opponents are too simple. You are not qualified to burn jadeite like a stone. ”

"You've been waiting for this day for a long time, haven't you?" Brooklyn listened, was silent for a while, and asked in a deep voice.

"Much sooner than I expected." Burke did not deny it. Brooklyn's heart was sinking.

He felt the same powerlessness he had felt when he faced Burke. Seeing that Brooklyn was silent, Burke said after groaning slightly

"Harvard can ask for a reasonable price instead of taking advantage of the fire and committing a robbery, but I need you to answer a few questions."

"What's the problem?" Brooklyn didn't believe Burke had such good intentions, so naturally he didn't have much interest in his problems.

He wants to solve problems more than answer them.

"Wait, Burke, we need Anthony to be there." Brooklyn proposed. Burke was slightly silent, then nodded after a moment

"Yes." Three minutes later, Anthony joined the conversation.

"Don't listen to him." After listening to what happened, Anthony said directly

"The question he wants to ask you has already been said." Already said? Brooklyn was stunned.

"Why is he against you, Brooklyn." Anthony prompted. Why oppose me? Brooklyn slowly recalled, quickly remembering what Burke had said at the last brawl meeting.

"I heard they sent Raropurni Vitrak to New York, Brooklyn, you're running out of time." Burke reminded as if he hadn't heard Anthony.

"I need an affirmative answer." Burke said

"John is right, I don't intend to be the next Speaker, but I need to be responsible for Harvard's future. I'm not at all at ease at handing over Harvard to you. ”

"No matter what I say, you won't be reassured." Brooklyn said in a deep voice

"Like I said, Burke, you're too in control and no one can trust you. Have you ever really trusted someone? Name someone you really trust unreservedly. ”

"So your question is pointless." Seeing that Burke did not speak, Brooklyn said

"Maybe you see farther than me, think more than me, maybe you have a better grasp of the future situation than I do, but you don't dare to trust others, your desire to control is too strong, and you doubt everyone."

"I may not be as good as you in many ways, but I can trust others. For that reason, Burke Forsman, I am more qualified than you to be Speaker. Brooklyn said firmly.

Anthony scoffed

"Do you hear that, Burke Forsman?"

"I'd rather compete with someone like Brooklyn than a despicable villain, and I'm willing to lose even if I lose."

"It doesn't make sense for you to join forces to exclude me." Burke shook his head and said calmly

"It's not going to help solve Brooklyn's immediate predicament."

"But that doesn't stop me from being happy." Anthony added. It was Burke's turn to be silent. Since the contradictions between the two sides were put on the table, these two people have completely stopped pretending.

"Burke, you don't represent Harvard." Brooklyn pulls the topic back

"You said you negotiated with me on behalf of Harvard, and you excluded me from Harvard. It can be seen that when you said this, you already presupposedly my position, thinking that I am not on the same front as Harvard. ”

"What do you think is Harvard's position? Benefits of Harvard Law School? Benefits of Harvard? Or is it the interest of the entire Harvard Parliament? ”

"I also belong to the above group. Whatever I can get from New York will be a boost for Harvard in the future. They belong to me as well as to Harvard. Because I'm part of Harvard. ”

"A group is made up of multiple individuals, and the consciousness of the group is the expression of the individual will of the group, and the consciousness of the group itself does not exist. So, what are the benefits of Harvard, you're talking about? What is your criterion? ”

"I can help you." Anthony said

"I'm old friends with those justices." Helping is naturally not free help, and Anthony helping Brooklyn naturally needs to ask for benefits.

Anthony himself may only need Brooklyn's support. That's acceptable to Brooklyn.

Because Anthony is not too young, he can afford to wait. But the 'justices' mentioned by Anthony are unacceptable to Brooklyn.

He has seen how great the appetite of the Chancellor is. And this is in the name of Anthony in his own name, and he still has to owe Anthony a favor.

It's too costly. If you can talk about the whole of Harvard, Anthony will also use the interpersonal relationship of 'several justices', and Brooklyn will have much less affection.

Besides, as Burke said, this is an errand for Harvard, an errand for everyone, how can you ask Brooklyn for something in return?

Brooklyn offered this opportunity to Harvard, and it hasn't even asked for anything in return.

"Collectivism." Burke let out a scolding scold, mocking and disdainful, and his voice was so short that Brooklyn suspected that he was hallucinating.

"Harvard is Harvard, it's the whole Harvard Law School, and it's the benefit of the members of the Harvard Council who have been invited to join it." Burke replied, but seemed to say nothing.

"It's hard to imagine that you said it!" Brooklyn admired, and his tone was strange, and he couldn't tell whether it was praise or sarcasm.

"If I am willing to help, we can transfer the benefits, and the rest belongs to me, and at the same time, my personal influence can also be used on Harvard to help Harvard stabilize as soon as possible and reach a higher level."

"Reluctant to help, even if I didn't say it. We're going to turn the Federation into the Middle East. ”

"Now it's your turn to make a choice." Brooklyn gave an ultimatum. He couldn't keep spending so meaninglessly with Burke, Burke wasn't in a hurry, he was in a hurry.

He could wait for Burke, but the people behind Rarapuni wouldn't wait for him.

"Anthony, thank you for your help." While waiting for Burke to make a decision, Brooklyn thanked Anthony.

"It's just that we've just seen how big the appetite of the justices is, and I'm sure you'll give a fair and reasonable price, but I don't trust the other justices. So, sorry. "It's a thanks, it's an explanation, it's a signal.

Anthony smiled and waved his hand

"It's nothing. What you say makes sense, the Chancellor's appetite is indeed not small. After all, the three of you made it yourself, and I am not willing to give most of it to others, and I am not reconciled if it is me. ”

"It's not that we're greedy, Anthony, they're going to send the three of us for 170 million. This is unacceptable to us. We'd rather destroy it than 170 million, so that no one can get it. Anthony nodded

"I'm okay with that." He said

"Brooklyn, maybe next time you come to Boston, you should come to my house as a guest, you have a 7-year-old fan in our house."

"Next time, definitely." Brooklyn replied with a smile. After talking and laughing for a while, Burke came back online, and the two closed their mouths, restrained their smiles, and became serious.
