Brooklyn understood what she meant, and immediately said

"Okay."

"There is an old saying in the East that a husband and a wife are glorious and unlucky together, and they are alone."

"Anne, I may not be able to give you a life of luxury, to dress up like a lady of the Middle Ages, to put on a whole bunch of flashy clothes, to hold a tea party, or whatever."

"With me, our lives may never be smooth, and we may need to be ready for storms at all times. But I promise that life with me must be exciting and fun enough that you will never be bored. [Note 1] Anne laughed

"I like storms." The two fell silent. Unlike in the past, the silence was not awkward, but a feeling that made Brooklyn comfortable creep in.

"I've arrived." Anne broke the silence.

"Well, goodbye."

"Wait for my news." Hanging up the phone, Brooklyn stood still for a moment, took a deep breath, and re-engaged in the intense preparation.

He first sent a text message to Frank asking him to cooperate with Anne, and then sent a message to Winston to terminate the exposure plan.

With that done, Brooklyn approached Lopez and discussed the next steps. López was still dressed like that, dressed in jeans, cowhide boots, a cowboy hat on his head, and the black walnut patch pistol hanging brightly from his waist.

The difference is that the fancy pair of sunglasses is gone. The two shook hands, and there was not much politeness.

López asked with some excitement

"How did you do that?" He was curious that Brooklyn would be able to convince Burke and Anthony to agree to the traditional way, and thought it was a huge step forward.

López is optimistic, but Brooklyn is not. He carefully analyzed the situation and said

"Actually, there are the most neutral people. We need to try to get their support. ”

"And I'm weaker than Anthony and Burke in that regard. They all have a lot of experience and have enough resumes to prove themselves, I don't have anything. López shook his head and laughed

"No, Brooklyn, you don't have to be so presumptuous."

"Those two old guys do have a lot of experience, but they screwed up."

"When Anthony was Speaker, he turned Harvard into a piece of shit, and now he's the one who made this mess. This shows that he simply does not have enough leadership skills. ”

"Look at the current situation, everyone knows in their hearts that Anthony is not qualified. Like you said. He is not fit to be speaker. ”

"Burke went on a perestroika in Boston, purging people and driving John Manning out. He also has a share of the current mess. ”

"Although you have no experience, you are John's designated successor, and John is optimistic about you!" Lopez patted Brooklyn on the shoulder and laughed

"We have a good chance! Brooklyn, you know what, we're just one step away from success! ”

"Listen to me, man, you've got to catch John's support for you!"

"Actually, everyone knows the current situation in their hearts, it has nothing to do with you, it is caused by the uncontrolled fight between Burke and Anthony. Most people want to end the mess as soon as possible and get Harvard back on track. ”

"Man, you have to know that no one likes chaos." López exaggeratedly spread his arms and gestured

"Most people want more stability than turmoil like they are now."

"Since Anthony and Burke both messed up, why don't we let you try?" Although Brooklyn disagrees with López's statement that he needs to seize John's support for himself, he is interested in López's "human mind" way of living.

John Manning is dead, and apart from his die-hard supporters, the old diehards who are basking in the glory of John's youth, John Manning's influence is rapidly fading.

Since the death of John Manning, fewer and fewer people have pursued the truth of his death. That's the proof.

But it's still possible to have a human mind. Brooklyn thought so, silently adjusting the 'campaign manifesto' later.

It's actually quite strange. Even during the time of John Manning, his election as Speaker took a week of discussion to be confirmed.

But this time, everyone was impatient to have a result tonight. There is a necessary process for the Speaker to run.

Candidates need to make a manifesto, like a presidential or gubernatorial campaign, put forward their own ideas, describe to everyone what they will do when they 'govern', what changes they will bring to Harvard, what will become of Harvard after the change, and when all the candidates have made their manifestos, there may be a debate, and finally a vote.

Voting requires all members of the council to vote, either by any one or abstaining, but by voting.

It's a long process. A week is not an exaggeration. But today, everyone wants to compress the week's work into one night.

Part of the reason for this situation was the turmoil in Brooklyn, which caused a storm of agitation and made everyone impatient and impatient.

Part of the reason is Burke and Anthony. They no longer trust each other, and everyone is afraid of something that will happen.

Everyone is unsure in their hearts, and uncertainty represents the unknown, but also represents a certain degree of fairness.

Finally, there is a reason why 'the mind of man' is fixed. Everyone is fed up with the Harvard mess, fed up with the mess, and wants to have a result as soon as possible, no matter what the result is, as soon as possible, and then settle down and return to calm.

……………… It's not early. After a two-hour break, at 9:34 p.m. that night, except for a few people who could not be contacted, all those who could be contacted, those who had the conditions to access the Internet, and those who were not able to access the Internet but could entrust others to replace them, were all online.

This is the first time since John Manning assumed the office of Speaker that the entire Harvard community has been brought together. The large screen has been cut into dense cubes, and the figures on it can only see a mosaic.

The technical staff had to make temporary adjustments, vacating a large area of the central government, and those who participated in the meeting through the network would put whoever spoke to the central committee, so that everyone could see the spokesman clearly.

The downside of this is that the area occupied by other people is much smaller, and it almost becomes a small black dot.

People who went out to the event returned to the venue one after another. The Brooklyn trio also returned to their seats and sat down. Looking around the venue, a strange and different kind of warm atmosphere wafted in the sky, people's eyes were hot, and there was a sense of excitement in their hearts.

How many years. I have always talked about how powerful Harvard is and how majestic it is, but everyone has only heard of it, and has never experienced it firsthand like today.

From justices, members of Congress, to clerks of county governments, from courts to commissions, to bar associations, law firms, courts, departments of transportation, IRS...... The whole nine yards.

They don't necessarily occupy important positions, they don't necessarily have the strength of a department, but they are at least involved in various departments.

Harvard is full of talent, and it is honest and does not deceive people.

"I'm sorry to bother you so late." Brooklyn took the lead and grabbed the microphone to speak.

"This is the first time I've seen so many Harvard buddies come together. Anything else, the mere fact that I've seen this kind of scene is enough to be proud. Brooklyn said with a smile

"It's even more pleasing to see firsthand what our partners at Harvard, who cover all branches of the federal government. This made me deeply realize that we are strong! ”

"At the same time, I firmly believe that the future of Harvard will be even more brilliant!" His words ignited enthusiasm in everyone's hearts, and the scene immediately became eager.

Brooklyn also looked agitated, he stood up and said loudly

"202 years ago, on the banks of the Charles River in the beautiful Cambridge, an unknown university was quietly completed, and 202 years later, the name of Harvard is known to the world, countless outstanding talents are proud to enter Harvard, and countless celebrity politicians are proud to enter Harvard!"

"This is thanks to the efforts of our countless alumni!"

"Here, allow me to give special thanks to one person, John Manning."

"Professor John Manning brought splendor to Harvard, and on Harvard's darkest days, he was like a beam of light that lit up the night sky on the banks of the Charles River! He is like a lighthouse, guiding the confused Harvard to find its way again! At this, Brooklyn's tone deepened.

"But just four days ago, the man who brought glory to Harvard, who showed the way for the confused, died."

"The Harvard ship lost its helmsman, and the lighthouse in the channel went out. We are back in the dark. Anthony and Burke frowned, but given the atmosphere, they didn't speak.

Brooklyn's speech directly denied Speaker Anthony's identity. He skipped Anthony, skipped Burke's 'coup', and only recognized the legitimacy of John Manning's tenure as Speaker.

It's an invisible blow, and now that everyone is emotionally driven by Brooklyn and in a state of remembering John Manning, they can't refute it.

How to refute? Is it wrong to say that Brooklyn is right? It is said that Burke once teamed up with Brooklyn to oust Harvard's meritorious hero John Manning and prop Anthony to the throne?

The living can never fight the dead! The Brooklyn speech went on over there. After reflecting on John Manning's illustrious past, Brooklyn gets to the point.

"Today, we have a common goal - to re-elect a helmsman for the giant ship of Harvard and re-light the lighthouse!"

"It's a matter of everyone's involvement!"

"Remember, we are choosing a new helmsman for Harvard, so that Harvard can continue to sail on a glorious and great course! It takes a joint effort from everyone! ”

"Maybe the helmsman we choose will not be as good as John Manning, maybe the helmsman we choose will not be as decisive and wise as John Manning, but I think that no matter who the successor is, he will follow the example of John Manning and lead Harvard to rebuild its glory!!" Brooklyn's speech received a lot of applause.

Many people even stood up directly in excitement. A large number of die-hard supporters of John Manning in the conference room were so excited that they slapped him so much that they were so excited that they slapped him red.

The Brooklyn speech was the final conclusion for John Manning, acknowledging John Manning's remarkable contributions to Harvard while concealing the tricks of John Manning's later years.

John Manning's merits and demerits are well known, and he did stand up in Harvard's darkest moments, turn the tide, and lead Harvard to prosperity and glory, but John Manning in his later years was not worthy of respect at all.

He used Burke Forsman to spy on everyone, and he constantly stirred up contradictions between various forces and plunged Harvard into infighting, while he sat on top of him and acted as a judge with dignity.

No matter how good John Manning's intentions were, and no matter how good his intentions were for Harvard, the result was that Harvard became torn apart and infighting.

When he was alive, he could still suppress these contradictions, and as soon as he died, the contradictions would immediately erupt. Fortunately, he immediately arranged a backhand after being ousted by Burke and Brooklyn, and tried his best to stay awake despite the delirium of illness, allowing Burke to clean up a large number of tumors and lay the foundation for his successor.

If Burke hadn't cleaned up the cancer, Brooklyn would now be facing not just Burke and Anthony, he might have to face a dozen or even dozens of people.

Today's closure of John Manning in Brooklyn is not only an acknowledgment of John Manning's contributions, but also a reassurance to John Manning's die-hard supporters.

Brooklyn used these words to tell them that he, John Manning's personally appointed successor, recognized John Manning's contributions and would not wipe out his predecessors' supporters.

He's not like Burke Forsman! This is true for everyone, but Brooklyn's main target is John Manning's die-hard supporters.

There was no news from Anne's side, and Brooklyn didn't have much hope for it, wanting to find out the real murderer of John Manning within a few hours, and he was afraid that Lyne Sberg himself would not know.

Brooklyn stood there, nodding his head frequently, smiling and flushed, as if excited as if he were shy.

His gaze slowly swept over John Manning's supporters, confirming them one by one. Strictly speaking, these people did not have an absolute leader, and their previous leader was John Manning.

Now that John Manning is dead, they are in a leaderless state. They hadn't even bothered to elect a leader, and they were reeling from the blow of John Manning's death.

Brooklyn stood in front of them 'in John Manning's clothes' and gave them a new purpose.

After watching it in a circle, Brooklyn determined that most of them had been driven by themselves and were on their side.

He sat down satisfied. The fourth force, get
