Chapter 611, Replanning

Neil is undoubtedly a good place to start the conversation, and it can effectively eliminate the strangeness and awkwardness between Brooklyn and Frank.

Actually, Brooklyn wasn't embarrassed. The current situation is very different from what he originally planned, he is facing the military alone is tantamount to using his mantis arm as a car, even if he pulls in Harvard, Frank and others, and wants to move the military, it sounds more like a fool's dream.

In fact, Brooklyn certainly wants to overthrow the military directly, but this is unrealistic. He can only retreat to the next best thing, cut off the tentacles that the military has stretched out, beat the military hard, and make the military realize that if they want to move him, they can, but they must pay a higher price.

Let the military think that the cost of moving him far outweighs the gain. The process of communication with Frank came as a surprise to Brooklyn.

Without much hesitation, Frank agreed to cooperate with Brooklyn. This made Brooklyn feel a little more grateful to Frank.

It's not hard to understand. The New York incident has led them to be deeply bound, and Frank has gained a lot, so to speak, with a mouth full of oil.

Today, the Reagan family has reached the peak of its power in New York. If Frank doesn't help Brooklyn against the military, he has two options, either stand by and help the two, or go to the military and help fight Brooklyn.

And the attitude shown by the military scared Frank. The military is too tough. Brooklyn did not choose to confront the military head-on at first, but instead adopted a roundabout strategy to try to find a way to coexist.

But he hit a wall everywhere. The military didn't even leave him a crack in the door, putting on a posture of eating Brooklyn, whether Brooklyn wants it or not, he has to press Brooklyn to obey.

This scares Frank. If he doesn't help Brooklyn, when Brooklyn falls, it's his turn to face the military alone.

And judging by the tough attitude shown by the military, it is impossible for him to hold on to his current power.

It's not impossible for him to spit out what he has in his hand, and he has to exchange it for the equivalent. But the military has a tough attitude that if you want to vomit, you have to vomit, how could Frank be willing?

Helping Brooklyn is helping yourself! Despite this truth, Brooklyn is grateful that Frank was able to make decisions so quickly and help him at times like these.

After the two united front, many words are more convenient. Frank took the initiative to bring up Winston.

"Have you been to Winston? What did he say? Frank asked. Winston's situation is unique.

Winston was not only a member of them, but also a member of the Republican Party, and was confirmed to stand for the Mr. President campaign.

This put Winston's position on Mr. President's side from the outset. Brooklyn's intention to find a peaceful solution meant that he might have to work with Mr. President's opponent, Patrick Nestor, at odds with Winston's position.

Now Brooklyn's attempt to find a peaceful solution has failed, which means that although he is not on the side of Mr. President, he has a common enemy with him.

Is it necessary to bring Winston back into the camp, or even contact Mr. President through Winston to fight Patrick Nestor with Mr. President?

It's a choice. But the enemy of the enemy is not necessarily a friend, but may also be a third person intervening.

Their practice in New York is very easy to arouse the vigilance of the Republican Party, and it is not exactly the same as Mr. President's political views, and some of them are even completely contrary to them.

Will conspiring with Mr. President lead the wolf into the house? Will it be easy to please God and difficult to send God?

"I'll talk to Winston later." Brooklyn shook his head. Frank looked at the time, got up and grabbed his clothes

"That's right, let's go together. Also went to that barbecue restaurant. ”………… An hour later, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening, and it was almost the hotel.

At the barbecue restaurant in Frank's neighborhood, the three of them sat at the same table again. The boss brought a large plate of barbecued meat such as pork ribs and a large bucket of juice, then pointed to the bar and left the shop slowly.

There were only three of them left in the room. Brooklyn hadn't eaten anything since he got off the plane in the morning, and he was already hungry, so he didn't say anything, grabbed a rib and nibbled on it.

Frank laughed and didn't say much, got up and rummaged around the bar, then went into the back kitchen and came out with a few beers in his hand.

Winston looked left and right, and slowly began to eat. The three of them had finished most of the barbecue, and Brooklyn felt no longer hungry, so he sucked his fingers, picked up a tissue to wipe his hands, and took a few sips of beer.

Seeing that Brooklyn had stopped eating, Winston also put down his half-gnawed ribs and looked at him. Frank ignored it and continued to bow his head and nibble heavily.

"Mr. President's itinerary confirmed?" Brooklyn asked nonsense. He had already received information through Michael and López that Mr. President had already decided on the itinerary for his campaign speech.

Winston nodded

"Unfortunately, we are the third stop, just a month later." Mr. President's solid base is in Texas, and his first stop is Texas.

The second stop was Montana, a state in the northwestern part of the Union that is dominated by agriculture and animal husbandry, which is also one of the foundations of Mr. President.

But the third stop was in New York, which was a bit of a surprise. Arkansas, Kansas, Wyoming...... There are too many states that belong to the base of Mr. President to go to, and New York, a newcomer, is not in third place.

This is completely out of order from staunch supporters to swing states to hostile states. But it doesn't matter, the important thing is that there is still a month before Mr. President comes to New York State.

Brooklyn and Frank looked at each other, and Frank asked without looking up, throwing away his bone, taking a long sip of beer, and then clipping himself a piece

"How are you going to cooperate? Do you want to accompany me all the time? "Half of the candidates who run in the general election campaign will find local celebrities to stand up for them and canvass for votes in every place they go, and the campaign page is not limited to speeches, but also on TV shows, talk shows, reality shows, or guest hosts.

Some candidates will also follow the local customs, participate in ceremonies and the like, and if they can catch up with festivals or events that are commemorable to the local area, it is impossible to be absent.

If mJ were still alive, Mr. President would definitely pull mJ on a national tour to canvass for votes.

——Mr. President and mJ are good friends, when mJ was hacked by the whole network, Mr. President once strongly supported mJ, unswervingly stood on mJ's side, helped him speak, and provided mJ with shelter and shelter.

It's hard to imagine that Mr. President has such a glorious moment...... Maybe if mJ were still alive, Mr. President would have had a lot easier and would have won against Patrick Nestor without much effort.

"Accompanied by the whole process." Winston didn't seem to like the arrangement, and he pursed his lips with a bitter face, and counted with his fingers out

"New York City, Albany, Buffalo, Syracuse...... Almost all of them have to go through it. "It's normal.

Campaigning looks like a tour, going through almost all major cities, but it's 10,000 times more tiring than traveling.

Elections have always been manual work. This left Brooklyn skeptical that Patrick Nestor would be able to hold out until the end of the campaign.

It is no joke to visit all the major cities of the Federation in seven or eight months. Young and strong young people don't always make it, let alone Patrick Nestor, who is almost eighty years old.

Although he seemed fairly healthy the last time we met...... Brooklyn nodded, tossed the tissue to wipe his hands, and said

"Winston, I've asked Bob to prepare General Kull's information, and Frank has also asked Chandler Kane to prepare the indictment tomorrow to E. Brown. Y。 ”

"In addition to General Kuhl, there are also the parts of the agreement from the previous events in New York, which will appear tomorrow in E. Y。 "He's going to uproot the military forces from New York.

This was the signal he revealed to Winston. Winston didn't answer, frowning and thinking. Brooklyn understood, and instead of urging, he quietly waited for Winston to finish thinking.

Frank didn't know when he slowed down, just poured beer in sip there.

Do you choose to help Brooklyn, or do you choose to stand by and watch? How much can you help Brooklyn?

Is it to advance and retreat together, or is it within our means? Everyone is not in a pitiful state of having nothing when they first got together, and with the current capital of the three of them, it is not an exaggeration to say that the family is big.

Is it to continue studing, or to make a small bet?

"The guy named Kuhl beat up Harrison, the Brooklyn bodyguard, and it looks pretty miserable." Frank drained a bottle of beer and said nonchalantly as he opened a new one for himself.

"He came to me today, and that Harrison didn't follow." Gollum - Frank takes a sip of his beer and continues

"I'm still in my car when I came to you." Winston's face changed slightly, and he glanced at Frank, who was drinking, but remained silent.

"I don't know what you have to hesitate about." Frank put down the bottle and said bluntly

"With the attitude of that guy named Kuhl or Kuller, what can we do?"

"Don't think Mr. President will win a second term, I've seen Patrick Nestor in Washington, Brooklyn, and the old guy who should be eating pudding in a nursing home is bound to win the election."

"Didn't the candidates put forward by the Democratic Party start to announce their withdrawal from the election a few days ago? Isn't that making way for Patrick Nestor? ”

"The Democratic Party plus the military, but Mr. President doesn't even have a consensus among you, how can he win the election? What to get re-elected? Brooklyn tugged at Frank's sleeve and shook his head at him.

He wanted Winston's decision to be made completely autonomously without interference. Otherwise, the decision is made now under the influence of Frank's words, and once he is at a disadvantage in the future, he may regret it and quit.

He didn't want to force Winston, not for the sake of friendship, but for the sake of the hardships of the situation he was about to face, and he didn't want to waste his energy on something as boring as calming the emotions of his allies.

A hesitation at a critical moment, or even a retreat, may make the situation that they could have turned around completely hopeless and fall into the abyss.

"I don't know what you politicians are thinking." Being pulled a little, Frank was a little dissatisfied, and his mouth was dripping, and he grabbed a rib and gnawed on it.

"I'm stuck at your door with guns and pointing at your head, so what's there to hesitate about." Brooklyn grabbed a smaller rib and stuffed it into Frank's plate, motioning for him to shut up before he spoke

"Winston, you have to think for yourself, we are dealing with the behemoth of the military, although our purpose is not to oppose the entire military, but it is no less dangerous."

"You know better than we all know what the style of politicians in the military is. It's dangerous. Once you lose, you will never recover. ”

"You think about it, I don't want you to regret it when it comes to the end, and I don't want you to resent me and Frank one day in the future."

"If you don't help me, I won't blame you, let alone say anything. It's not about our personal relationship. Brooklyn's face was full of sincerity.

For ordinary people, this may be the moral kidnapping of 'I don't blame you if you don't help me, you just watched me being killed by an opponent, and I don't blame you for ignoring our friendship and kindness I helped you', but for Brooklyn and Winston, this is not the case.

This is not a moral kidnapping. Brooklyn simply made his concerns and the risks of the future clear in advance once he decided to help him.

Moreover, as a qualified politician, Winston has no morals to kidnap. I've never heard of a politician kidnapped by morality, do they have such a thing as morality?

Perhaps, but at the moment, when vital interests are involved, morality is never something that needs to be considered.

There was silence in the rotisserie for about five or six minutes, when Winston opened his mouth to break the silence.

"I'm thinking like Frank, the military is too tough." Winston said. Brooklyn was relieved.

He smiled and raised his hand, ready to pat Winston on the shoulder. Winston sideways out of the way as he glanced at his oily hands.

"Now that it's decided—" Frank threw away his gnawed ribs.

"I'm sure I won't regret it." Winston replied with a smile. Frank nodded and said nothing more.

"The military is backing Patrick Nestor, the Democratic-military candidate, in the general election." Brooklyn brings the conversation back to the point.

"They must have some secret deal with Patrick, and that's why they chose Patrick."

"I thought Patrick was running involuntarily, but when I went to Washington, I found out that I was wrong. Patrick himself is quite willing to run in the general election. This suggests that there are at least three parties to this deal. ”

"The military, the cooking party, Patrick Nestor."

"Also, John Manning seems to be involved, and I have been verified by General Chur that John Manning was killed by the military."

"This shows that the military's deal with Patrick and the Dish Party must be very important."

"This deal is completely dependent on the power of the president, and neither the vice president nor Congress can help."

"Sabotaging Patrick's campaign should ruin the deal."

"The question now is, how far do we need to go."

"Do we make them understand that we can sabotage the deal as a deterrent, or can we sabotage the campaign altogether and then sabotage the deal?"
