Chapter 556, Twists and Turns

Brooklyn is on its way to Boston. This time he only stayed with Harrison and Bob, without even informing Boston.

When he appeared at the door of his office, Anthony was looking through the papers, and when he heard the voice, he looked up and saw Brooklyn, his face stunned.

"Heather Gerken wants to empty the gloves of the white wolf." Brooklyn walked into the office on his own, threw his coat on his chair, and sat down.

After a not-so-short flight, he had calmed down from his rage. Coming to Boston was a subconscious act when he was angry.

But I have to say that this choice is very correct. After calming down, Brooklyn began to think about how to get revenge on Heather Gerken.

This matter seems simple, and Heather Gerken looks like he is in danger, especially considering the last conversation in the hallway, Heather Gerken is completely at a disadvantage, and has been forced into a corner by Brooklyn, so he almost surrenders with his pants raised.

But the situation is constantly changing, and things are constantly moving forward. Everything is in motion, not static.

At that time, the proposal had not been submitted, the plan had not been launched, and things had not yet begun, and Heather Gerken had to bow to the 'conductor' of Brooklyn if he wanted to get on the bus.

Things have changed dramatically. The proposal has been submitted, the plan has been made, Heather Gerken has gotten in the car, and the car has started.

He backtracked, and Brooklyn couldn't afford to put the plan on the brakes, wait for Heather Gerken to get down, close the door, and continue driving.

Others are not fools. Why did you fall out with Yale all of a sudden? Why did you first agree to Yale's membership, and now you oppose Yale's membership?

Brooklyn can't answer that question. The essence of the garbage dump scheme lies in the unexpected.

Everyone is stuck in the habitual thinking, and when everyone is sure that the proposal will pass, they do the opposite.

Once people are alerted and calm down from their impulsive emotions, things will become more variable.

In particular, Heather Gerken is fully in control of the Brooklyn plan, and once he announces it, combined with the vastly different choices before and after Harvard, it will greatly increase people's vigilance.

The power of the announcement at the beginning of the plan is completely different from the announcement now. Of course, the chances of people being able to calm down and find the clues are not high.

But does Brooklyn dare to bet? That's why Heather Gerken dared to backtrack. Heather Gerken is like a toad that jumps onto a person's feet, not biting, but responding.

His trick was to nakedly disgust Brooklyn. The Brooklyn plane didn't think exactly how to respond, but he figured out what he would do when it landed.

He first needs to confirm Anthony's attitude. Anthony was forced by him step by step to surrender and sing conquest on his knees, because no one dared to stand up against Brooklyn.

There is neither a bird to stand up, nor a time for a bird to stand up. Now Heather Gerken has stepped up.

He held high the banner of 'opposition,' and found a gap in Brooklyn's meticulous layered layout.

Brooklyn needs to make sure Heather Gerken didn't take the lead and be Anthony's 'role model'.

Some people do not stand up and resist, not because they don't dare, but because they don't see the 'role model'. Once he sees the 'example', he will quickly stand up, follow the 'example', and resist fiercely.

Ray has a very say in this. He is that 'role model' who has attracted a large number of followers and allowed the organization to expand at an incredible rate.

Brooklyn is happy to see the development of Ray's 'career'. But that doesn't mean he's just as happy with Heather Gerken pulling up a 'rebel army'.

Therefore, when he said the words 'Heather Gerken wants a white wolf with empty gloves', Brooklyn's whole body tensed, and his eyes were fixed on Anthony, making sure that he didn't miss every expression of Anthony.

Anthony froze. His mouth was slightly open, his eyes staring straight at Brooklyn, the pen he was holding had lost control, leaving a crooked scratch on the paper, and a large cloud of black ink at the end of the scratch.

"What's going on?" Anthony reacted and asked, capped his pen. Brooklyn's tense muscles relaxed, and he withdrew his gaze from Anthony and told the story.

Anthony frowned and listened, did not express his opinion, and his serious expression made it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

He just asked

"What do you want to do?"

"Yale exits, plans to continue." Brooklyn summed up his goals briefly. Anthony asked, still frowning

"You mean, get Yale out and keep the opposition against Heather Gerken? But at best they remain the same. ”

"Nope." Brooklyn shook his head

"The proposal to bring Yale to join this time was put forward by Heather Gerken, and Yale's withdrawal would be a huge prestige blow for him. It is impossible for them to remain as they are. The impasse will inevitably be broken. ”

"But why?" Anthony continued

"For the scenario you are talking about, the reason for Yale's withdrawal must be caused by Heather Gerken."

"Besides, Heather Gerken is not such an impulsive person, it is impossible for him not to know that the initiative is back in your hands." It's actually easy to find a reason for Yale to quit.

Thanks to the last Harvard-led conference, the initiative is indeed in Brooklyn's hands.

But Anthony was right. Heather Gerken should also know that the initiative is not in his hands, but in Brooklyn's hands.

Since he knew that the initiative was not in his own hands, was it necessary for him to do so? Like last time, give the initiative to others?

It's excusable to do it once, and it's okay to do it a second time? Heather Gerken is a person who likes to be passive and doesn't like to be active?

Brooklyn felt that the derivation was a bit subversive. So, knowing that it won't work, he still does it, is he Heather Gerken leaving a back-up move, or is he really cornered, taking one step at a time?

"What's going on with Yale?" Brooklyn asked, with a thought in his mind. The last time we met to discuss a proposal to start submitting a press law, all the delegates interested in the proposal arrived in Boston, and most left after the meeting.

The Interim Council is a loose coalition and does not require all member organizations to be represented, rotated, or so on like an organization – that is the goal of future development, and it is not yet up to this level.

Those who have a heart and a heart will send someone to take a look, even if there is a shortage of manpower, they will squeeze out a person.

This situation generally occurs in small organizations, where they really lack people, money, experience, and influence...... In short, there is a lack of everything.

But this does not include Harvard and Yale. Harvard is in Boston, and it just so happens that although the proposal and the vote are in Washington, the 'headquarters' of the proposal is Boston.

The Yale family has a big business, and these two people are not bad, plus the opposition and Heather Gerken have their own ghosts, no one is worried about anyone, so naturally they will send people to 'station'.

Brooklyn asked about the people who were stationed. Since Heather Gerken and the opposition were not at ease with each other, fearing that the other side would interfere with them and steal the fruit, both sides were stationed there.

Through the situation of these people, we can reflect the situation of the internal struggle at Yale, and then determine whether Heather Gerken is cornered, or has a back-up move, or is really just a brain pump.

Anthony reminisced for a moment, reached over the computer screen, and began to check the records. After a moment, Anthony looked up and said

"They changed a group of people the other day."

"Substitution?" Brooklyn got up and walked over to Anthony.

"Yes." Anthony nodded, slid the mouse to show the record to Brooklyn, afraid that Brooklyn would not understand, and he also stretched out his hand and pointed to a few names to introduce them.

"This, this, and this, it should be the opposition, they are very active, these two should be Heather Gerken's people, not the first three."

"This person was replaced, and the one who was exchanged, the rest seemed to be isolated, and they had a quarrel at the last meeting." Brooklyn stared at the names on the screen for a moment, his brow furrowed.

He returned to his seat and pondered

"It seems that the struggle within Yale is fierce, and Heather Gerken has fallen into the upper hand. But ......"

"But it doesn't make sense for Heather Gerken to suddenly fall out with us under unfavorable circumstances." Anthony fills in the second half of what Brooklyn has to say.

It really doesn't make sense. If Heather Gerken had fallen into a disadvantage, fell out with Brooklyn again, took the initiative to push Harvard away, and lost Brooklyn's help, wouldn't this be tantamount to being caught?

According to common sense, Heather Gerken should take the initiative to move closer to Harvard and seek help from Brooklyn at this time.

After all, Heather Gerken's foundation is Yale, and he should think about building a solid foundation instead of continuing to fight with Brooklyn.

The foundation is gone, and he still wants to fight with Brooklyn, what will he do with Brooklyn? But this is similar to what Heather Gerken said on the phone.

If Heather Gerken loses the upper hand in the struggle, and Yale's infighting is in its final stages, he may not be able to keep his hands on the promise...... This bizarre situation made Brooklyn wonder if he was overthinking.

Didn't you think too much of Heather Gerken? But then he threw this thought out of his mind, warning himself that he could not take it lightly and had a fluke mentality.

"Bob." Brooklyn shouted

"Inform Burke Forsman and tell him to put aside what he is doing for the time being and come back as soon as possible."

"I'm going to see him here by noon tomorrow." Bob made a careful note of it, nodded slightly at Anthony, and turned to leave.

Anthony glanced up at Brooklyn and didn't speak. Nothing to say. Brooklyn called Burke Forsman back, which was clearly to kick Yale out and take advantage of Heather Gerken's illness to take Heather Gerken's life.

Although this is contrary to the original decision, Harvard is now a Brooklyn church, and he made a decision, and no one will object.

"What about Michael, how is he?" Calling Burke Forsman back and gathering Harvard's core forces to deal with Heather Gerken is the greatest respect for him, and after doing this, Brooklyn asked about Michael's situation.

In fact, he didn't know much about Michael's previous work, only that Michael was a broker and did intelligence work, and after returning from the Middle East, Michael had a preliminary understanding through that plan.

Anthony Road

"The intelligence broker? He followed López. ”

"You know him?" Brooklyn keenly picked up on the unexpected revelation of Anthony's words and asked.

Anthony nodded

"Michael is in a similar situation to you, he is a 'self-made' broker, and he is very famous in the broker circle in Washington."

"But his business is not big, and he has never been able to touch the inner circle."

"Brokers like him are everywhere." Brooklyn glanced at Anthony and said

"Michael and I have known each other for a long time, and he is a very nice guy. Competence can be cultivated, and the key is reliability. There are more brokers who are better than him, but I have not seen them who are better and more reliable than him. Brooklyn understood what Anthony meant.

He thinks that Michael's ability is ordinary, and the law touches the core of power in Washington, and maybe it's okay to run errands now, but if he goes one step further, it won't help Brooklyn much.

It's just that because Michael is a Brooklyn transfer from New York, Anthony can't say that he can help Brooklyn more and should be replaced this morning.

Brooklyn v. Anthony said he valued Michael not for his ability but for his loyalty. Anthony understood what Brooklyn meant, nodded, and instead of saying anything more to Michael, he said

"I don't have much contact with him, maybe you can ask López."

"The basic abilities of 'self-made' people like them are still there, and they are more gifted than those famous brokers." That's in Brooklyn's words.

After the initial sudden appearance of Brooklyn and the shock of hearing Heather Gerken's backtracking, Anthony also realized the impact of Heather Gerken's provocation of Brooklyn against Brooklyn.

Heather Gerken's provocation could make Brooklyn suspicious. It's not a good time to rashly express a negative opinion about the people of Brooklyn, and even if it is correct, it may make Brooklyn suspicious of him.

Anthony was notoriously a swing vote when he was a justice, and he was very good at dealing with the intricacies of the Supreme Court.

Brooklyn gave Anthony a deep look. Didn't say much. He had already forced Anthony to surrender, and there was no need to continue to force Anthony to remain honest and reliable.

It's a bit of a tough one. After all, his trust in Anthony is limited.
