Chapter 472, the first time

Anything that is dry to tell is boring and needs to be integrated into the story, and it is better to give another example to make it memorable.

Brooklyn chose to use John Manning's death as an opening line, initially just to gain the support of John Manning's die-hard supporters, but he soon found that the opening line worked well and everyone showed obvious interest.

At least the atmosphere in the venue was not so dull anymore. Brooklyn begins with the death of John Manning, and continues there.

He briefly repeated his relationship with John Manning, expressing his respect for John Manning, and reiterating the reason for his candidacy for Speaker—he was originally John Manning's designated next successor.

This reason is sufficient. Having established his legitimacy and the advantages that distinguished him from others, Brooklyn took a stand along the lines of John Manning's death.

There is no doubt that he will continue to investigate, but not with Harvard's intervention as he is now, so that the police can come up with a result that Harvard wants.

For the death of John Manning, Harvard wants the result to be the murderer arrested as soon as possible - to show that Harvard's influence has not weakened, the matter has subsided as soon as possible, and the big things have been turned into small and small things, and the big things have been dealt with - to cover up the mess inside Harvard.

In fact, they are all deceiving themselves, holding a plastic sheet to cover their shame, thinking that they are really covering it. Brooklyn punctured the window paper directly.

He touched on the roots of Harvard's chaos, targeting the previous parliamentary structure. He pointed out that in the previous parliament, members had to be divided into different sizes and layers, so that the right to speak was only in the hands of a small number of people.

However, this small group of people is still fixed for a long time, they can say whatever they want, and remain silent if they don't want to speak, while most of the other members have no channel to speak and can only shut up.

Every time something happened in the council, it didn't seem to matter to the majority, and a dozen people sat there and discussed it.

Without a sense of involvement, joining the Harvard Council is not much different from not joining the Harvard Council.

"Especially for some young people like me, the council can't provide any help, and we don't even dare to say that we are Harvardians when we go out, for fear that Harvard will not admit it, and that we are a joke!" Brooklyn said.

"The Harvard Council has been reduced to a toy for a dozen people, an organization that is supposed to provide shelter and convenience for its members, for members to help each other, and to mediate conflicts between members, has now become a playground for a dozen people to fight for power."

"Most of our members are like cattle and sheep on a farm, at the mercy of these dozen or so people."

"How can such a council be supported?" Brooklyn raised his arm, pointed in a circle, and then pointed at the big screen.

"It's like the atmosphere of the venue just now."

"I know what people are thinking. You don't listen to what we say at all, and you don't care, because whatever we say, it doesn't have much impact on you, and the issue of the Speaker that we're discussing, the ideas we discuss, has no impact at all on most people. ”

"Such a parliament is problematic in itself." Brooklyn spoke from the position of the majority, which immediately attracted the attention of the majority.

A few frowned. They were very dissatisfied with Brooklyn's statement, believing that Brooklyn's statement was inappropriate and a failure.

On the contrary, it was Burke Forsman on the side, although the two had completely torn their faces and their positions were clearly opposed, at this moment, his red eyes seemed to be glowing, and sometimes he even nodded unconsciously.

He couldn't agree more with Brooklyn! There are simply too many Harvard questions!

And all pretend that the problem does not exist. As long as the problem department endangers itself, it will be ignored, and once it endangers itself, it will be tinkered with, and everyone will get by.

For all this time, Burke felt as if he was on a cruise ship with no bottom. Yes, it's not leaking, it's bottomless.

He's pumping water desperately, he's trying to tinker with it, trying to keep the cruise ship on track and not be silent, but the others are throwing pool parties in the cruise ship, ignoring the big hole.

The feeling that you save him, not only does he not appreciate it, not only does he not help, but he also guards against you, which makes Burke extremely helpless.

I can't say how many times I can't say it, and he feels powerless in his heart. Brooklyn's speech at this moment seemed to him as if a sober man had suddenly appeared in the midst of this group of revelry madmen, dressed up, rummaging through tools, and preparing to devote himself to the work of repairing a cruise ship.

Finally see a companion! This is Burke's inner cry and cheer! Brooklyn didn't know the joy in Burke's heart, and he continued

"We deserve to be voted on by every member of parliament, as we do today. We should listen to each member's ideas, rather than having a few people convey them on their behalf. ”

"The composition of our ranks, the members of the council, is mixed." It's coming, it's coming! Burke twisted his ass and straightened up.

As a result, Brooklyn did not continue in the direction that Burke Forsman had in mind.

"But in any case, you're all members of the Harvard Council, and we should be on the same side."

"Someone has been undermining the unity of the members, and everyone knows that." There has been a lot of focus on Burke Forsman.

In fact, Burke Forsman has cleaned up a lot of people, and the people he identified as cancers are indeed not good people, and among the people who participate in the meeting now, it cannot be said that there are no tumors, but the proportion is very small.

Why, then, do people still feel disgusted with Burke Forsman and uneasy about their situation?

Because Burke Forsman's purpose of cleaning up the cancer is not simple. Judging from the results, he did clean up the cancer, but as long as anyone who has seen the process of his cleanup, they will not think that he is dedicated to the public.

That's more like a party fight. Everyone was worried that Burke Forsman's cleanup of the tumors was just 'foreplay', and those tumors just happened to be beaten by him as enemies.

When these people are cleaned up, will they clean up themselves? This is something that everyone is worried about. Will Burke Forsman use this as an excuse to attack others, as long as he doesn't support him, as long as he doesn't like it, all of them will become tumors?

No one knows about it, and I'm afraid Burke Forsman himself doesn't know if he will do it.

"In the future, the qualifications of Harvard Council members should be more rigorous, and each of our partners should be carefully selected and thoroughly checked for their background."

"We should help each other, and the parliament should come up with a complete system...... "Brooklyn said a lot, basically about the reform plan of the Harvard parliament and the hope for the future.

His reform proposal is clearly on the side of the majority, supporting equal treatment of everyone and a balanced and reasonable distribution of resources.

Rather than proposing that every member should be supported by the same resources, he suggested that resources should be allocated according to the needs of members at different stages.

While helping members to open up promotion channels more easily, it also saves resources. Rather than rigidly piling up a lot of resources on someone.

In Brooklyn's vision, the Harvard Parliament would reach all corners of the Federation in this way.

[Note 1] Of course, although this is Brooklyn's true idea, but more importantly, it is for the sake of winning today.

The situation has developed to this point, and Brooklyn finally sees the dawn of victory. He clearly felt that his win rate was no longer zero.

He had insight into everyone's thoughts, adjusted the order of appearance in time, and played on the spot, winning a glimmer of life for himself.

Brooklyn's speech was undoubtedly restrained, and his eloquence was not bad. He used to be a famous lawyer, how could he be so eloquent?

But in this speech, Brooklyn gave up his eloquence advantage and used relatively plain language, speaking in a more concise and understandable way.

He didn't have passion, he didn't shout, he didn't exaggerate his body movements. But his infectious power is no less impressive.

The people on the big screen were too small to see clearly, but judging by the feedback from the field, Brooklyn felt that his presentation was a success.

At the same time, he did what he said at the beginning - simple and efficient. The content of his speech was substantial, not empty slogans and pies.

Brooklyn was making a final wrap-up, and Burke and Anthony beside him were staring at each other from the gap between him and the back of his chair from Brooklyn's position.

They saw a lot in each other's eyes. Anthony was exhausted, and his brain was on the verge of a pulp before he could figure out what Brooklyn's surprise meant.

Burke's emotions towards Brooklyn became mixed. On the one hand, he was extremely sympathetic to the problems raised by Brooklyn and the judgment that Harvard was terminally ill, but on the other hand, he was extremely vigilant.

The root of his opposition to Brooklyn is not Brooklyn, but Lyleigh Crewe, who has different political views with him.

He's on the lookout for Lenie Crewe's soul burrowing into Brooklyn's shell, resurrecting Harvard into what he wants.

And the content of Brooklyn's speech just now made his pulp-lake brain work again. The idea that Brooklyn was the head of the Tao sounded to Burke a disguise for the thought he was wary of.

He even lost his mind for a moment, suspecting that it was Lylie Crewe, who was standing here and talking about the same person they had killed.

Therefore, after sitting down in Brooklyn, Burke ignored the assistant's opinion and got up to speak directly. He stood up almost as soon as he put down the microphone in Brooklyn, before his ass was on the chair, he held the microphone, and when the first syllable came out, the crowd in the big screen had just slapped the second palm.

"Brooklyn Lee has a great resume, he's young, he's driven, he's got ideas." Amid a round of applause, Burke raised his voice.

"That's why John chose him."

But few people know that Brooklyn was his last resort. John's first choice was actually another young man – Wood Ward. Burke's voice was mixed with applause, which seemed not so real, except for a few people around him, most of the people at the scene and in front of the screen could not hear clearly.

This forced him to raise his voice again and again, and even simply yell out. It made him look embarrassed. Brooklyn stiffened the moment he heard Wood Ward's name, and then he stood up and thanked everyone.

Burke was shouting, Brooklyn was thanking, the audience was clapping, and the scene was in turn. Anthony sat drowsy and sat there, his eyes squinted into slits, obliquely observing the performance of the two men, and he just watched as if he were out of the way.

Burke closed his mouth, his face ugly. The cold look and the face flushed from the shouting were terrifying.

His eyes swept over the people one by one. The applause faded and finally fell silent. The whole venue became audible with pins dropping.

Anthony was still drowsy. Brooklyn stood there, leaning slightly sideways, looking like he was facing the crowd and confronting Burke.

The feedback from the scene told Brooklyn one thing very clearly—maybe his speech succeeded in arousing hope in the hearts of most people, maybe he ignited a fire in most people's hearts, but once the cold wind of reality blows, this flame will be extinguished immediately.

Most people support him, most people want him to succeed, and most people are eager to see the blueprint he sketches a reality.

But most people can only provide emotional support. Most people live in reality, and most people are responsible for reality.

The reality is that Berke is stronger than Brooklyn, and the reality is that Burke can sweep them away. And at the moment when they were swept away, Brooklyn's ideals, Brooklyn's beautiful vision, and the flame that Brooklyn lit could not help anything.

It's not that they don't understand the power of unity, they just don't want to be the first bird. Brooklyn stepped up, and they welcomed it, but that was about it.

Let them say it's okay, if you want them to act, they need to look again. They think it's a good idea to maintain the status quo compared to being disposed of by Burke!

Brooklyn didn't hate the loud cry of iron. He leaned slightly sideways, confronting Burke Forsman.

His expression was calm, and there was no sign of the fact that he had threatened to die in the stairwell a few hours earlier, and there was no hint of madness.

"Sit down." Burke Forsman spat out two words. Brooklyn smiled and didn't sit down.

He turned his neck and looked around the room, his gaze lingering on the big screen for a moment, as if he was looking at everyone.

Then he withdrew his gaze, turned completely, and confronted Burke Forsman head-on.

"You're rude." Brooklyn looked Burke in the eye and shook his head.
