Chapter 581, Purge
"The proposed press law is not to restrict or restrict press freedom, but to regulate the news media, draw a line for the media industry, and protect the privacy rights of ordinary people. This is undoubtedly a good thing. But the guys who control Congress screwed up. ”
"Are you a supporter of press law?"
"Of course, of course I'm for it, I said, it's a good thing."
"What is your position in favor of this law, is it the position of the president, or the position of the political opponents of the vice president? As we all know, your contradictions with His Excellency the Vice President have intensified. ”
"Out of a position of federal responsibility. I am the President of the Federation, and I have a responsibility to act in the interests of the Federation as a whole. ”
"Is there any connection between Judge Brooklyn Lee, who was said to have made this proposal in the first place, and Brooklyn Lee was the judge you single-handedly picked up after you took the oath of office?"
"Brooklyn Lee? He was a nice young man, and I admired his talent and believed that he would be a good judge. It turns out that I have a good eye, and if you don't believe me, ask the New Yorkers what they call Judge Brooklyn Lee, and they will give you a better answer. ”
"As for contact, I'm exercising the powers of the president. Not all behavior has to be greasy and selfish. ”
"I'm sorry, but that's all I can tell you today, I've got to wipe my ass for the idiots in Congress. They are like babies in swaddling clothes. Mr. President shrugged, shook his golden hair in a dashing manner, and left the interview area under the escort of his bodyguards.
Whether it's Brooklyn or Rozier, no one expected that the first person to pick out would be Mr. President!
! The proposal failed, and the people of the special research group have not yet complained to the outside world, and they are fighting to the death, and the supporters of the proposal who are kept in the dark are still investigating the truth and trying to figure out the situation.
Although the proposal failed, it is strange that all stakeholders did not come forward to make noise.
The first person to make noise was Mr. President, a seemingly irrelevant person. -- Harvard's announcement was only about expelling all members of the research group from Harvard, and there was no superficial direct connection with the failure of the proposal.
Brooklyn bared his teeth at the TV. All the gifts given by fate have already been secretly marked with a price.
Mr. President appointed him as a federal magistrate. Maybe at first it was just to pull out the nails of political enemies and find a random nail to drive into it.
Maybe at first he didn't care if the nail was his own, as long as he was sure that it was not a political enemy, it was enough.
But now the nail is made of gold. In the interview, Mr. President deliberately emphasized his optimism about the proposal and praised Brooklyn, which is an oath of ownership.
In such a playful and unbelievable way, the struggle in Washington spilled over into Brooklyn.
Brooklyn pretended to be stupid, did not contact Mr. President, did not express his views to the public, and he even avoided the media directly.
He has more important things to do. Before everyone reacted, quickly cut through the mess, put the end of the plan, and let everything settle!
The number of participants today is less than two-thirds of what it was yesterday. The alliance that was buzzing a month ago has now become a lot more deserted.
Ms. Rozier sent her assistant to attend, declaring that she had something to attend to and might be ten minutes late.
Brooklyn glanced at Rozier's assistant and said nothing. The meeting proceeded as planned. He was the first to announce the disposition of the panel and urged Yale to give members an account.
From the expressions of the members, it can be seen that Harvard played a good role as a victim, and people's anger was focused on the research group from beginning to end.
The second item on the agenda was the election of the President. While Brooklyn had finished speaking about the need for a presidential election, Ms. Rozier returned.
Brooklyn paused and took a deep look at Rozier. Rozier was the 'cicada' he recruited, responsible for helping him resist the fire, cover his whereabouts, in order to achieve the effect, Brooklyn voluntarily withdrew from the first presidential election, and fully supported Rozier.
Now that the plan is in its final stages, Rozier has completed the task of 'tool man' perfectly. Not only did she get out of it, but she also saw through part of Brooklyn's plan.
Now, Rozier is expressing his displeasure with Brooklyn with his actions. She asks Brooklyn to make amends!
Brooklyn's intention to squeeze out Yale has been clearly expressed, and Yale, which has lost Heather Gerken, is no match for Brooklyn.
There is no need for Harvard to do it himself, and Yale will be weakened by blunt knife cutting again and again.
Without Yale, the political alliance is left with two powerful forces, Harvard and Stanford.
Harvard and Stanford have a lot of energy, but neither is strong enough to support a political alliance. With the potential of a political alliance, if either of the two wants to cultivate the development of a political alliance alone, it will only end up being sucked dry.
If the political alliance is to continue, neither Harvard nor Stanford can do without the other. Therefore, Rozier's claim for compensation Brooklyn had to give.
After being elected president by a landslide, Brooklyn took out the documents he had prepared and began to make drastic changes to his previous program and bylaws.
This document was drawn up in advance, and is more practical, more standardized, and more biased towards the interests of the collective than the original constitution and program.
This is a complete set of framework systems. With this document, the political alliance will truly become a normative, normal and healthy precursor to a political party with unlimited potential.
Brooklyn led the members to a full day of meetings, questioning and discussing the program and bylaws article by article, with a degree of caution comparable to that of the promulgation of the federal constitution.
They were having a meeting on one side, and Burke Forsman was already at work on the other. ………… The expected storm of public opinion did not come.
The research team was disposed of calmly and in a low-key manner. Harvard was completely freed from the burden, the opposition completely disappeared, and Brooklyn finally took complete control of Harvard.
Under pressure, Yale disposed of some people and excused others. This act of secrecy contrasts sharply with Harvard's openness.
Harvard didn't yell at it everywhere, but insiders knew that everything that should be dealt with was dealt with, and Harvard paid the price for being gullible to its own people.
Yale's sticky behavior is despicable. Not only did he not reap the benefits of disposing of the members of the research team, but he caused a commotion.
There have been a lot of criticisms of Yale within the political coalition, and many members believe that Yale does not meet the stipulation that "it is strictly forbidden to directly or indirectly cause trouble to the members of the alliance, and if there is opposition to each other due to objective reasons, the two sides are allowed to negotiate on their own," and should be punished.
At this time, except for those members who voluntarily quit themselves, the political coalition has not voluntarily expelled any members.
When Burke dealt with the last man with vigorous efficiency, the outside world was still calm. Nov. 10, the day before Veterans Day, the Senate vetoed the press law proposal, three days ago.
Someone rushed to New York, came to E. Y went to Brooklyn, and some people ran to Anne Brooklyn's law firm to find Brooklyn's fiancée, Anne, for help.
Harrison & Associates E. Security Y ejects the people without even seeing Brooklyn. As for Anne, Anne went to the client's house to investigate the situation, and when the people from the law firm saw that the people who came to look for Anne refused to leave, they went to the security guard of the city hall and drove the people away.
In the afternoon, when the two returned home, they met the men again at the door. This area belongs to the rich community, and the security guards are very strict, and these people are not invited, nor are they from the community, so there is no way to enter at all.
Harrison pulled the car to a halt and lowered the window. Several scalpers stepped forward, and before they could speak, Brooklyn spoke first.
"It's not revenge." He sat in the car and said to the crowd gathered around the window, bending over with a flattering smile.
"I once asked my assistant to talk to you, and I offered a very good offer, but you refused."
"And you, after the meeting at the Manhattan Hotel, I, Burke Forsman, Anthony Kennedy, for the sake of Harvard, the three of us shook hands and made peace, and I did not hold accountable, but graciously chose to forgive, and I was not to blame for the past. I still have a great deal of responsibility to you. ”
"It turns out to seem like a sign of weakness to you." Brooklyn's gaze swept calmly, the windows were only so big, crowded with six or seven faces, and there were people outside trying to squeeze in, meet Brooklyn, say a word, and beg for forgiveness.
"You encouraged Anthony, you coerced him, and asked him to continue to fight with me."
"Do you think I don't dare to deal with you anyway, if you lose, it's a big deal to lose, come back next time."
"Very well, now I'm going to give you a chance, you can leave Harvard, go to Yale, go to Stanford...... Or set it up yourself, wherever you go, and you can 'come back next time'. ”
"For the sake of you who walked out of Harvard, don't beg me." Brooklyn said coldly.
After that, he ignored the pleas outside the car, the windows closed, and the car started again. He was indeed taking revenge.
But it's not just revenge. He's not that naïve. The whole plan has a clear purpose and has to be done.
Today, these people will come to New York to ask themselves in person, and they are also in Brooklyn's calculations. When they come to ask for themselves, they can only bring shame on themselves.
Other than that, the only thing that surprised Brooklyn was public opinion. The failure of the proposal seems to have been accepted by everyone calmly, whether it is the melon-eating masses or the stakeholders, and there is no anger and hysteria as Brooklyn envisioned.
Actually, this is not difficult to understand. Every year, the Federation kills tons of proposals, and every proposal of the Federation is the product of a political game, and whether it passes or does not pass depends on the 'providence'.
The high rate of approval of the press law proposal was highly anticipated by industry insiders, but the result was so surprising that it was not even passed by the Senate.
But this situation is not unique. In the eyes of industry insiders, this is simply not too normal. The fact that the proposal did not pass does not mean that there is a problem with the proposal, or that the person who made the proposal has ill intentions, but only that the person who made the proposal is not well prepared...... The unintended consequence of Brooklyn's deliberate attempt to regain discourse by drawing Washington's attention to the political coalition and allowing it to suppress political coalitions has provided a more logical understanding of the proposal's failure.
- Look, Washington is eyeing them, and has decided to suppress them. In the face of so many behemoths, it's not normal to fail!
- Besides, Harvard used to take responsibility and dealt with the messy research team for the first time, although everyone knows that the responsibility is not on the research team, but Harvard is willing to push people out to vent everyone's anger, which is already very remarkable.
Hardly anyone doubted that Brooklyn had frequently changed his stance in the proposal, and had single-handedly turned the tide of the war and undermined the chances of its passage.
Those who are skeptical and those who know the cause and effect are either working for Brooklyn and are firmly tied to Brooklyn's interests by their side, or they are no longer able to speak out.
………… Monday, November 11, Veterans Day. New York has regained some bustle.
People are coming together again to celebrate the holidays. Occasionally, people attending the celebrations waved at the officers who maintained order.
Occasionally, when a child runs to the police, he will be picked up by the police officer and sent behind him to prevent danger and injury.
Whether they want to or not, no matter what they think in their hearts, the officers behave very civilly. Thanks to NYpd's efforts, there has been a very noticeable change in the perception of police officers in New York.
The day E.. Y has a holiday, but Brooklyn doesn't get a break. Bob and Webster had a full schedule for the day.
Not only does Brooklyn get a break, but so does Anne. She is required to host the events of the Anne Brooklyn Law Firm.
As a law firm whose main client group is currently military, veterans and their families, there is no reason to take a holiday on Veterans Day.
The firm has prepared a celebration and is ready to take advantage of the opportunity of the festival to continue its expansion. Brooklyn sends Anne to work, joins Winston on the way, and the two sets off.
He's going to be with Winston most of the day. Not only Winston, but also Frank.
Under Frank's leadership, the trio began to express their condolences to the families of the victims. The last time they discussed the 'Clean-up' operation, seven police officers had already died in the line of duty, and after a series of operations by Frank, the connection between the gang and the people was gradually dismantled, and the 'Clean-up' operation was promoted.
As people began to trust the NYpd, the pace of the operation has accelerated, and the number of police casualties has decreased.
But there are still casualties! As of today, the number of NYpd police officers killed in the line of duty has reached 11.
Following the previous seven officers, four more officers were killed in the line of duty. The last funeral in Brooklyn did not make it in time, and the condolences that had been prepared had to be canceled due to other things, and Bob was asked to come to the house instead of himself.
Brooklyn still didn't attend the funeral of the four officers—he could have found time to attend, but he wasn't invited...... Unable to attend the funeral, Brooklyn had no choice but to take time to offer condolences after the funeral.
This is a necessary process. It's not just about showmanship or hypocrisy.
