In the afternoon, new news came. On the instructions of the committee, Ovis's eucalyptus was sent back to e. y Reconsideration.

Along with this news, there is also a joint external suppression of the New York economic market, the rapid rise in prices in New York, the shortage of goods, and the supply of individual supermarkets has even been cut off.

All kinds of daily necessities and daily necessities have been decreasing, and New York Harbor has been without ships calling at the port for a whole day, and the once prosperous port has become deserted as ships continue to leave the port.

The road to New York has become similarly deserted. New York's major transportation companies are doing a lot of business. They couldn't wait, and finally started to do it.

In the afternoon of the same day, a clip of an interview with a senior executive of JJ Group leaked out. In the interview, JJ Group said they would fully withdraw from New York State, which would henceforth be classified as a restricted area for JJ Group.

When asked why he did this, the senior executive was aggrieved. He said

"It's not that we have abandoned the New York market, and the market share of New York is not low, so how can we not get along with money? It was the New York State government that abandoned us. At this point, the video came to an abrupt end.

It's not that no one launched a 'raid' on Brooklyn. Previous public opinion, the accused committed suicide by jumping off a building, racist incidents, and even bribes in the parking lot, all went straight to Brooklyn.

This shows that the current opponents are much smarter than Pence Norton, and they can easily recognize that the core of the force that is preventing them from eating New York is Brooklyn.

As long as Brooklyn is defeated, the block will naturally dissipate. But Brooklyn protected themselves so well that they tried several times without success.

So they changed their strategy and prepared to cut off the forces on the periphery of Brooklyn first. Brooklyn realized this the moment she saw the clip of the interview.

This time the action was directed at Winston. This worried Brooklyn, who immediately called Winston.

"Have you watched the interview with JJ Group executives?" As soon as the call was connected, Brooklyn couldn't wait to ask.

"Look, they're coming for me." Winston's voice wasn't too heavy, he said

"Don't worry, their opinions on this matter are not unanimous." Brooklyn's concern is that the JJ Group's move has gained Republican support, in other words, he fears that Winston has been abandoned by the Republican Party.

Fortunately, the situation is not so bad.

"New York is a swing state, and there is a general election coming up, and they won't abandon me for the sake of the election." Winston reassured.

Brooklyn thought for a moment and shook his head

"No, we can't put our hopes in others."

"Immediately cut off contact with the Dish Cooking Party. Abandoning Frank's plan for San Antonio, Texas. ”

"If necessary, go to Washington and contact the members of Congress."

"Okay, I know. But there's no need to give up for the time being, I can't, you can get in touch. Winston replied, and then said

"We've just done a statistic that if they're allowed to go into lockdown, New York will last until the end of the week at most, so Brooklyn, we're going to have to pick up the pace." After communicating with Winston and hanging up the phone, Brooklyn rubbed his forehead.

The other party's sudden attack caused the situation to deteriorate instantly, and the situation began to develop in a direction that was not in their favor.

It's a long-planned combo that hits the target and still makes Brooklyn feel painful.

Brooklyn wants to wait until John Manning's funeral this weekend to suddenly launch it to solve Harvard's problems and get New York back on track.

But apparently the other party doesn't think so, and the other party feels that the weekend is too far away.

"Bob." Brooklyn called Bob and said

"Ovis's request for a retrial, when the original defendants and the two sides come, you arrange a time to control the first trial time in a week." Bob didn't ask why, but nodded in response.

Brooklyn contacted López again and told him directly about the new situation in New York.

"They've tried a few times to do it directly to me, but they're ready to deal with my allies first. López, we can't wait. Brooklyn said

"In the morning, I promised you to act according to the situation, but the current situation is that if we don't act, we can only die a slow death."

"Winston in New York can hold on for a while, but not forever. The general election does need New York State, but it doesn't need a governor who is not popular with voters. "Winston is right, with the election as a talisman, he is unlikely to be abandoned by the party, but what if he can't solve New York's woes for a long time?

What if groups like JJ jumped out one after another and blamed New York's predicament to the state government?

Will Winston still have the support of the people of New York State? If you lose the support of the people of New York State, you will lose the talisman of the election.

Winston didn't say that, but Brooklyn did. Winston was buying him time, and he couldn't afford to squander the time Winston had bought with his life.

"Give me a list of important members, and I'll visit them personally." Brooklyn said

"We must purge Harvard on the day of John Manning's funeral!" López did not dissuade him any further. He is not a strategic talent who plans Zhou Xiang himself, otherwise he would not be called a 'big mouth'.

It's not that Lopez has the talent to do the lobbying, it's that Brooklyn doesn't have a lot of talent — well, Lopez probably does have some talent, and he's honest enough not to lie.

"Okay, I'll send you the list." López eventually agreed. Hanging up, Brooklyn calls Bob

"Hand over the work with Nelly, go home and pack your bags and get ready for a business trip." With that, Brooklyn swiped out a new email and forwarded it directly to Bob

"Book your plane tickets in the order in the email, and we'll visit them one by one." Bob was a little confused by the sudden turn in Brooklyn.

He glanced at Ray and asked

"Now?"

"Now, of course! Go ahead! ”

"Just you and me, or take Thunder?" Bob asked again.

"Ray has other arrangements. It's just you and me. With that, Brooklyn began waving his hand, urging Bob to pick up speed.

Bob didn't say much, trotted to find Nelly with the tablet, and began to hand over the work. Brooklyn put away his papers, shouted thunder, and rushed home.

Since it was not yet time to get off work, there was no traffic jam on the road, and the road was smooth. It was a rare experience.

"I have to follow, you and Bob are too dangerous." On the way, Ray, who was driving, said.

"Nope." Brooklyn shook his head

"Everybody knows you're inseparable from me, and you stay in New York to make them think I'm in New York."

"They're not Pence Norton." Ray disagreed

"Once they know where you've been, they won't hesitate to do it if necessary."

"You haven't dealt with them."

"It's like you've dealt with them." Brooklyn was unconvinced. Ray pursed his lips

"I don't, but I know them." Ray turned his head to look at Brooklyn Road

"You don't understand at all, and if they feel the need, they will even call in special forces." As if he knew what Brooklyn was going to say next, Ray simply blocked the interface

"New York is different, New York is your home base, with Winston and Frank here, they don't dare to do that." Brooklyn was silent for a moment, then asked suddenly

"That's what you've done before?" Ray didn't speak, nodding slowly. Brooklyn turned his head to look at Ray, but didn't see anything on Ray's face.

"Part of my operations is still top secret. I can't explain it to you due to confidentiality requirements, but trust me, they will do it if necessary. ”

"Out of New York, even if I follow you, I may not be able to ensure your safety."

"In New York, if you are in the open, they dare not do it, but if you want to leave New York, or in a private capacity, they will do it nine times out of ten." Brooklyn weighed it up, but finally shook his head and refused.

"You stay and make them think it's more important that I'm still in New York." Brooklyn Road

"Listen to me, Ray. Winston was helping me stall for time, Frank was blocking all of him, and so many people were staked on their families. I couldn't hold back any longer. ”

"Even if I've been hiding in New York, if we lose this battle, we won't end well, so if that's the case, it's better to bet everything. It's done, we'll have a much better life in the future, no, at least I've done my best, and I don't have any regrets. ”

"This is not the time to be rash." Ray said in a hurry.

"I'm not taking things personally." Brooklyn Road

"The only way to get things back on track as soon as possible now is to unify Harvard's voice, push for law, and get the military to trust us again." While talking, they had already arrived at the door, Brooklyn didn't say more, just opened the car door and jumped out of the car, rushed into the house, cleaned up briefly, and left the house with a suitcase.

On the way to the airport, the two remained silent. Ray still thinks it's a bad choice for Brooklyn to just take Bob out of New York, but he can't convince Brooklyn.

He wanted to help Brooklyn get a few guns to defend himself, but neither Brooklyn nor Bob had covert gun licenses.

Brooklyn and Bob leave New York almost unguarded! If they were driving, they could put their guns in the car in case they needed it, but in a hurry, they were on a plane.

Guns and knives can't even cross the airport, and even if you get on a plane, don't even think about taking them out of the airport when you land.

It can even increase the risk of exposure. Ray was so anxious that his hair was bald, and he didn't come up with any good ideas.

In the end, he could only watch with uneasy observation as Bob and Brooklyn passed through the gate and disappeared into the crowd. Bob was very productive, and instead of buying business class with a better experience, he chose to squeeze in with seventy or eighty people.

After the plane took off, Brooklyn turned on his computer and began to check his email. At the top of the list is Jack Calvin.

This is an old white man with glasses, and one of the members who was qualified to speak in parliament during the time of John Manning.

Jack Calvin is a member of the Judicial Conduct Committee and made overtures to Brooklyn at the last Congress.

However, as the conflict between Burke and John became public, Brooklyn's perception of Jack Calvin was constantly refreshed.

He had previously thought that Jack Calvin was John Manning's man, but now he suspected that the old man was Burke's.

Jack Calvin lives in St. Louis, Missouri, just a two-hour flight from New York.

They took off at half past eight in Brooklyn, and it was only half past ten when they arrived in St. Louis, plus the mess of check-in, luggage pick-up, etc., twelve o'clock was enough to find Jack Calvin.

The question is that at this late hour, would Jack Calvin be willing to meet him? Or rather, will Jack Calvin be convinced?

Will you notify Burke as soon as you see him? These are all unknowns. To avoid uncertainty, Brooklyn needs to be prepared.

Fortunately, López has a good ability to collect information, and he came with the list, as well as detailed personal information.

Two hours may be a long time while waiting, but for busy Brooklyn, two hours is not a long time at all.

He had just finished reading the information when the crew's landing prompt sounded in the cabin. Tucking the computer into the package, Brooklyn and Bob behaved like the passengers around them, waiting for the plane to land.

At 10:22 p.m., a flight from New York to St. Louis landed at Lambert St. Louis International Airport.

At 11:47 p.m., Bob and Brooklyn got into a pre-rented car.

"To Jack Calvin's house?" After checking that the car was in good condition, Bob sat in the driver's seat, started the car, and asked.

Brooklyn glanced at the time and nodded.

"Will it be too late?" Bob started the car, typed in the navigation, and drove out for several kilometers before he remembered to ask.

"It's not too late." Brooklyn was a little tired

"We're pressed for time." He glanced at the navigation and adjusted his seat

"I'll rest for a while." Bob nodded, turning down the navigation volume. For Bob, the trip was a bit inexplicable.

He's been dealing with Brooklyn's personal itinerary, yes, he's almost become Brooklyn's personal assistant, it's true that Brooklyn hasn't hidden any secrets from him, and Brooklyn hasn't revealed too many secrets to him.

He could only deduce a thing or two from Brooklyn's itinerary, confirming that Brooklyn's situation did not seem to be good, and from Brooklyn's endless daily phone calls and endless appointments, he inferred that Brooklyn's status at Harvard and New York was being challenged.

He's constantly asking for help and courting allies. Other than that, he didn't know much. Many of the things were handled by Brooklyn himself, and his habit of changing his itinerary on the fly was very confusing, leaving Bob in a state of ignorance.

The nights in St. Louis are quieter, even quieter than in New York. There are no pedestrians, no vehicles, and not many lights on the road.

Jack Calvin doesn't live in the city, and they don't need to go through the city, but drive around St. Louis, so most of the time all they see is pitch black.

The car drove on the silent road, monotonous and boring, making people drowsy. Fortunately, the journey was not far away, and more than half an hour later, at midnight, Brooklyn and Bob arrived at the neighborhood where Jack Calvin lived.
