Whether a relationship changes or not, and in what direction it changes, is often beyond human control.

There are only three people to kill Chandler Kane: Brooklyn Lee, Reilly Winston, and Frank Regan.

Both Winston and Frank have made it clear that they won't do it, so the only person to do it is Brooklyn.

But once Brooklyn kills Chandler Kane, what will Winston and Frank think of Brooklyn?

One day, if there is a need, will Brooklyn not hesitate to kill himself?

Or when a decision or distribution conflicts and can't be agreed, will they subconsciously remember that Brooklyn killed someone?

Will it be remembered that they happen to be insiders of this matter, and it happens to be remembered that this matter is fatal to Brooklyn, and Brooklyn is willing to pay a big price to buy them to shut up?

On the other hand, even if Winston and Frank really didn't have the intention of using Brooklyn's killing of Chandler Kane as a threat, would Brooklyn think so?

You can't have the heart to hurt others, and you can't have the heart to defend people.

Even if they don't, Brooklyn will still be suspicious, and then suspicious, and the relationship between the three will be estranged.

This destruction is fatal.

Don't talk to God about your character or your oaths. Not to mention politicians, men's oaths can't be counted.

Who dares to believe in the character of a politician? Believing in the oath of politicians?

I am afraid that God, who is the witness of the oath, does not believe it.

After Frank finished speaking, the office fell silent.

Frank sat there gulping down on his cigar, and Brooklyn sat across from him as if thinking, weighing Frank's words.

After about five or six minutes of silence, Brooklyn lowered his crossed legs and straightened his body.

"Mr. President is coming to New York this month."

He did not continue the discussion about whether to kill Chandler Kane or not, but abruptly moved on to another topic.

Frank let out an "um" and put down his cigar

"Winston told me."

"What are you going to do?"

Brooklyn asked.

They confronted the military, helped Mr. President fight the military, and contained Patrick Nestor's hole cards, which does not mean that they are close to Mr. President.

From Chandler Kane to E. Since Y's submission of the indictment, they have been "tearing" with the military, Mr. President has only shown his side superficially, expressing his attitude reservedly, and Patrick Nestor has not even shown his face, as if he does not know about it.

And the Republican Party and the Dish Cooking Party didn't put a fart.

If Burke Forsman brings him good news this morning, if the political coalition passes the proposal to restart the press law, Brooklyn has a card in his hand that can be used as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Mr. President, and there is bait to pull the Dish Cook Party into the water with the Republicans.

But no!

The proposal to restart the press law did not pass! The political coalition is out of Brooklyn's grasp! This investment in Brooklyn has failed!

He didn't have the bait in his hand to pull everyone into the water!

The situation now becomes:

He + Frank + Winston + Harvard are a force of their own in New York.

Patrick Nestor + the Dish Cooking Party is a force.

Mr. President + parts of the Republican Party are a force.

The other part of the Republican Party is a force.

The military is a force.

Each faction has its own position, and each faction has different choices in the face of different events.

Maybe in the previous incident, the two forces were still allies, and the cooperation was still very friendly, but in the face of another incident, the two sides became opponents, fighting to the death.

Now there are three main events:

The first thing is the confrontation between New York and the military, and one side in this matter is

Brooklyn, on one side is the military.

Brooklyn predicts that as the confrontation deepens, the Dish Party, which is an ally in the election, will provide support to the military.

He needs to bring the Republican Party and Mr. President into the game in advance and form a confrontation in advance.

The second thing is bipartisanship.

The antagonistic sentiments between the two parties have been around for a long time, and they have cooperated with each other and restrained each other, and today, the two sides have less cooperation and more hostility.

In this matter, the Republican Party + Mr. President is a natural ally with another part of the Republican Party, and the Patrick + Dish Party is the other camp.

The military, on the other hand, is likely to join Patrick Nestor + the Cook Party as an ally due to the election issue, and form a confrontation with Mr. President and the Republican Party.

The third thing is the general election.

In the general election, Patrick Nestor + the Dish Cooking Party is one position, Mr. President + part Republican Party is one position, and the other part of the Republican Party is the third position.

In the general election, Brooklyn and others have no position, and whichever side they join, they will naturally get bonuses.

But due to the first thing, it is impossible for Brooklyn and the others to join the side of Patrick Nestor + the Dish Cooking Party.

Because Patrick Nestor + the Dish Party reached a cooperation with the military in the general election, the two sides also have a series of secret deals that are not known.

These three events are intertwined with the five forces associated with them, and they are interconnected and opposed, chaotic and complex.

Originally, Brooklyn planned to use the press law proposal to bring Mr. President into the game, and at the same time use the election to draw another part of the Republican Party into the game with the antagonistic sentiments between the two parties, so as to unify their stance on the matter of confronting the military.

In this way, the complex situation can be simplified, three things become one, and the five forces can be divided into two opposing camps:

New York + Mr. President + Republicans.

Military + Patrick Nestor + Dish Cooking Party.

Without breaking the complicated situation and reclassifying, there is only themselves on the Brooklyn side, and the hostile camp they face has not changed.

On the contrary, Mr. President and the Republicans may reap the benefits.

They can use Brooklyn as a pawn, sit and watch Brooklyn fight to the death with the military, and pick up ready-made ones on the sidelines.

Under such circumstances, of course, Mr. President and the Republican Party cannot completely sit idly by and watch Brooklyn be defeated and quickly defeated, but in this way, the initiative is in the hands of the "fisherman".

The "fisherman" is free to decide whether to help or not, how much to help, and when to leave.

As a third party, the "fishermen" have the ability to decide the outcome of the confrontation, and they can even use Brooklyn as a bargaining chip to sell to the other party in exchange for other benefits.

Brooklyn could not have put itself in such a disadvantaged position.

The proposal to change the tide of the war has failed, and now Mr. President's visit to New York is another opportunity to change the tide of the war, and perhaps the last and only chance.

But don't forget about another, more important thing – New York is not in the same league as Mr. President!

Mr. President is a Republican, and he has a natural Republican attribute, which is the natural opposition to the set of Brooklyn and others playing in New York.

Even if Brooklyn is now at war with the military and seems to be on the opposite side of the Dish Party, it does not mean that he is a supporter of the Republican Party.

From the perspective of Mr. President and the Republican Party, the enemy of the enemy is the friend?

Says who?

The enemy of the enemy may be a yellow finch or a fisherman.

Now everyone wants to be a fisherman, and no one wants anyone else to be a fisherman.

The situation is chaotic.

If Brooklyn wants to take advantage of Mr. President's visit to New York to make up for the omissions in the press law proposal and bring the situation back to the predetermined state, the first thing he has to solve is the contradiction between the governing policy in New York and the political stance of the Republican Party and Mr. President.

He must first dispel the hostility between Mr. President and the Republican Party!

It's not like Brooklyn hasn't done anything before

In fact, according to the original plan, Mr. President will come to New York in February, and Boston will get an answer in January, and if the proposal to restart the press law fails, they will have more than ten days to adjust the arrangement.

But now Mr. President has changed his itinerary and he's coming to New York right away!

This caught Brooklyn off guard.

"What shall we do?"

Brooklyn asked.

He didn't expect an answer from Frank, sighed to himself, and spread his hands

"I can't help it."

What to do?

You can't cook the party + military + the Republican party + Mr. President alone, right?

He has to have the ability to do that, too.

Frank smoked his cigar and felt that the carefully selected maple leaf tobacco leaves had lost their former aroma, and his mouth was full of bitter taste.

Brooklyn folded his hands, saying he had no other way.

"Unless you divert your attention and give Mr. President a reasonable excuse, such as having an accident with Chandler Kane."

Brooklyn revisited the old story, went around in a big circle, and returned to the question of whether to kill Chandler Kane or not.

Kill Chandler Kane and pour ink directly on the military, so that they can't wash it off. Give Mr. President a big excuse to attack the opponent's allies, and then hit the fierce opponent in the general election, and divert Mr. President's attention from the conflict between his ideology and the governing policy.

Everything will be simplified and everything will be back on track.

The question is –

"Are you going?"

Frank asked, glaring.

Brooklyn shook her head and whispered

"The best thing to do is to let Chandler Kane do it himself."

"He's already done it himself."

"I went to visit him this morning and he wasn't doing well."

Brooklyn recounts the conversation with Chandler Kane.

"Did you ever think that he would get out of your hands and threaten us with this in turn?"

Brooklyn pointed in the direction of Bellevue Public Hospital and said, "Now you're sending someone to watch him and keep him from the media, and not let him speak in public."

"What about later?"

"Can you make sure that he never speaks in public, never comes into contact with the media?"

"Can you make sure he never threatens us with secrets? Can you make sure he keeps it a secret forever?"

"The only thing that can keep a secret forever is the dead."

Brooklyn said firmly, and then seemed to realize that his tone was too harsh, and the atmosphere was a little solemn, and said jokingly

"Speaking of which, I've always wondered what you used to control Chandler Kane, and now let me see."

The cigar in Frank's hand was already burning for the most part, and he extinguished the cigar and said

"Nothing, actually."

Brooklyn had expected Frank to go on—he had always been curious—but Frank said that, and then shut up.

Brooklyn waited for a while, and when he saw that Frank didn't have the desire to continue, he took the initiative to ask, "So what is it?"

This can be regarded as easing the atmosphere, so that the atmosphere is not too stiff, and at the same time giving the two of them a slow brain, leaving time for buffering and thinking.

"I've got Chandler Kane's file."

Frank took out one cigar and tossed it to Brooklyn, then pulled out a second one, trimming it carefully, emphasizing

"A real file."

This tip is sufficient.

There is an old saying in the East that says, "Don't take evil for less."

Countless heinous criminals started with a trivial mistake.

A kind and upright good person may just smoke someone else's cigarette and take someone else's bottle of water at the beginning, which slowly develops into a red envelope and stolen goods

money, corruption, bribery...... And then it got out of hand.

No one can come up and accept it, and dare to accept millions of bribes. The courage is exercised little by little.

After receiving the answer, Brooklyn fell silent.

Frank was talking about Chandler Kane, but it seemed to be talking about him again.

When did he start, and until now, he is talking about a human life?

Or is Chandler Kane's life his?

He's taller than many people......

After Frank finished trimming his cigar, he tossed the cigar tong to Brooklyn, watched Brooklyn trim it pretentiously, lit his cigar himself, and took a puff.

He and Winston persuaded Brooklyn not to kill Chandler Kane, not only for personal gain, but also for his good intentions as a friend and a bystander.

It's very comfortable to work with Brooklyn, although they haven't stopped since they started working together, and the opponents they face are all behemoths, but they are also full of rewards.

He spent decades climbing from patrol officer to NYPD chief, and his influence was limited to what the NYPD radiated. In New York, he was far from famous.

But after working with Brooklyn, it took only a few months for him to go from NYPD director to one of the top three in New York.

This kind of influence is increasing faster than riding a rocket.

Whether as a partner, an ally, or a friend, he didn't want to see Brooklyn ruin that connection.

How could Frank not have imagined the change in the relationship between the three that Brooklyn thought of by killing Chandler Kane?

Anyway, he is also an old fox who used to win and lose with Brooklyn.

Brooklyn finished trimming his cigar and placed the cigar tong on the table, but did not light the cigar, just grabbed it in his hand and rubbed his fingers unconsciously.

The rough feel of the cigar body is fascinating......
