Chapter 629, a barbecue restaurant for two people

Mr. President is finally gone. After glancing at the long motorcade, Brooklyn got into the car and told Harrison to start the car and leave.

Regardless of whether the trick that Mr. President did when he met at the airport was deliberate or deliberate, he had to go to clear the mines.

Brooklyn pursues a policy of reassuring the outside world before securing the interior. In his opinion, in order to maximize the strength he has, he must ensure that the people are united and there are no internal instability.

That's why Brooklyn didn't immediately notify all of his 'own people' when he failed to seek a settlement with Patrick Nestor, and decided to stand up after his attempts to initiate a settlement were repeatedly denied.

It is also the reason why he ended the game of boiling eagles between the two and gave up directly after confirming that Heather Gerken would not give in.

It was determined that the first time Anthony was unstable was not to choose to appease and try to win over, but to clean it up directly and without hesitation.

It is also the reason for the first cut after realizing that the political alliance is out of control. If the internal instability is not eliminated, do you wait for it to give yourself a fatal blow at a critical moment?

While there is still some strength to spare, we should get a good grasp of clearing up all hostile targets and unstable factors, and this is the right solution. It doesn't matter whether Mr. President puts him at the center, attracts everyone's attention, and exposes hostility and instability, whether it is good or malice.

Importantly, there are unstable factors exposed. Winston is still with Mr. President - from today until Mr. President leaves New York State, Winston will not have time, and he will focus on accompanying Mr. President.

The arrival of Mr. President is only an opportunity for Brooklyn to drag people into the water, an opportunity to survive the storm of the military and seize the initiative.

But not for Winston. From the moment Winston accepted the president's invitation to help him stand on the platform to promote his election speech, Winston's political stance was clear.

He stood next to Mr. President, and did not even have to speak, which was sending a signal to the outside world: New York Governor Reilly Winston supports Mr. President!

For Winston, this is a great opportunity. Once he supports Mr. President's successful re-election, he is indispensable!

Winston will be rewarded very handsomely. Whether it is his position in the Republican Party or in the entire federal political arena, it will usher in a qualitative improvement.

It is conservatively estimated that he can directly enter the Congress, play a major role, and gain a real say in state affairs.

It is estimated that he can join the presidency in line to 18 positions. Lang estimates that he can become vice president, and even under the operation of many parties, after the re-election of the current president expires, he will become the next important candidate put forward by the Republican Party.

It is up to Winston to choose which outcome it is. Compared with the effort, the harvest is not insignificant.

To be sure, Brooklyn feels that he would be tempted to spend time together in a different place. It is therefore easy to understand that Winston revolved primarily around Mr. President for the rest of his life.

Therefore, the only way to clean up New York is Frank and Brooklyn. Fortunately, at this stage, Mr. President only brings benefits, and it is not yet the time to talk about loyalty.

………… As with Brooklyn's choice, after meeting at the airport, Frank also leaves. He didn't even preside over the security, but gave it to David.

So the two met at the barbecue restaurant one after the other, and began to openly absent from work in broad daylight. The owner of the barbecue shop still knew Frank very well, as if the two had a heart-to-heart, and after a while he brought a large plate of barbecue, and then left the store without waiting for Brooklyn or Frank to speak.

"After waiting all morning, I didn't do anything, and I was going to starve to death." Frank grumbled, grabbing a small rib and biting it hard.

Brooklyn nodded, picked a tomahawk steak from it, and nibbled on it, grumbling in his mouth

"yes, nothing was done, the morning went by like this, hey—" This is a complaint, not just a complaint.

It's a temptation, a temptation to test the other person's attitude. The arrival of Mr. President has injected new changes into New York.

Even the iron triangle relationship between Brooklyn, Winston and Frank needs to re-examine their own position and that of the other party.

This sentence is a skillfully innocuous temptation, but both understand each other. If Brooklyn's reply, "It's all about greeting Mr. President," "I just happen to be busy with work lately," and so on, contrary to his complaints, it means that Brooklyn's position has changed, and Frank will immediately stop talking.

Their trip to the barbecue restaurant was really just for lunch. Nibbling on the barbecue, Brooklyn recounted the details of the handshake, and after speaking, neither of them expressed an opinion, but took out the envelope that Mr. President handed him.

After opening it, a document fell out. On the document is a feces yellow five-pointed star, the inner ring of the star is a blue background, and the same yellow is written on it 'UesSecretService'.

USSS! Federal Secret Service! Funnily enough, a department like the USSS was previously part of the federal Treasury Department, and it wasn't until 2003 that the USSS was changed to a department of the federal Department of Homeland Security.

Today, the USSS is a department under the Department of Homeland Security, and its primary responsibility is to prevent and investigate counterfeiting of U.S. dollars and bonds, as well as to protect the president, vice president, president-elect and vice-president-elect, former presidents and their spouses, presidential and vice presidential candidates identified within 120 days of the election, children and grandchildren under the age of 16 of current and former presidents, visiting foreign heads of state and government and their spouses, individuals designated by presidential decree, and special national security incidents designated by the Department of Homeland Security.

The embassies of various countries in the Federation are protected by the USSS Uniform Department. The sworn employees of the USSS are divided into agents and uniformed employees, among which the one who protects the government dignitaries wears conservative black suits, sunglasses, and a fierce temperament, and does not say a word is the USSS agent.

Naturally, the temporary credentials in Brooklyn's hand were not to recruit him as a temporary agent to protect the president's security.

This document is used to prove his identity and allows him to see Mr. President at any time without the red tape and routine checks.

With this document, the items carried by Brooklyn will not be examined in special detail, and he will not be considered a threat to Mr. President when he carries some of the more dangerous items, and he will not be immediately killed.

For example, he brought a gun, or a call girl, or something......

"It's for you to take the initiative to find him." Frank looked at it and pouted a little resentfully.

New York's security has always been the responsibility of the NYpd, and now Mr. President has arrived, but the USSS has robbed him.

That's not a good thing. If Mr. President has an accident, the NYpd will be held accountable, and he will not be able to run away like Frank Reagan.

And the safety of Mr. President is not under his control, he can only passively wait and then passively accept. This feeling of being out of control was very upset to Frank.

Although all localities need to cooperate with USSS to complete security inspections and security deployments, NYpd is still unhappy.

This unhappiness is undisguised. Brooklyn didn't care about Frank's upset. This unhappiness is only Frank's personal emotion, which is revealed by treating him as a friend, as a true ally, and as his own person.

Aside from the past, judging by Frank's tentative words, he is not a person who lets emotions influence decision-making.

"Whoever is active is passive." Brooklyn uttered a mouthful of words, threw his temporary papers on the table, and continued to nibble on the steak.

This is how he evaluates his relationship with Mr. President at this stage. Although I don't want to admit it, speaking of which, his relationship with Mr. President is really very similar to that of a couple.

They now want a couple who have quarreled, because they don't have a good face, they bow their heads to each other, but they are reluctant to break up, they are greedy for the benefits brought by each other, and they both hope that the other party will bow their heads first.

Isn't it just who takes the initiative to be soft, and who will be passive in the days to come. Brooklyn put aside Mr. President's business for the time being and talked about the unrest in New York.

Frank's expression immediately became serious. In order to help Brooklyn - in fact, also for himself - Frank invested so much in this incident that he could not turn back, and at this time he could only go one way to the dark, and ALLIN bet Brooklyn to have the last laugh.

Frank is already a red-eyed gambler. - Of course, he can turn back now, stop the loss in time, and the strong man breaks his wrist, but when he turns back now, it is not his wrist that is broken, but half of his body.

The losses were too great for him to bear. At this time, I heard that some people were unstable and wanted to sabotage......

"Who are they?" Frank asked. Brooklyn shook her head and wiped her mouth

"In extraordinary times, screening is not important. We're not going to take them to court. ”

"Wait until the evening to call Winston and ask him who was active enough at the dinner to welcome Mr. President."

"yes, okay." Frank nodded, munched on the roast, and responded. They have a complete process for dealing with the corresponding characters—a process that has been honed quite skillfully during the events of New York in the past.

Arrest, investigation, prosecution, sentencing, and prison service. With Frank's anger, Brooklyn put aside the internal affairs for a while, and then discussed the issue of his attitude towards Mr. President.

"He invited you to his campaign speech?" Frank repeated with some surprise.

"Yes, that's what he said." Brooklyn nodded, in affirmation. Frank frowned immediately, he subconsciously glanced at the oil-stained temporary document on the table, which was the juice that had accidentally spilled out of Brooklyn just now while eating barbecue, and withdrew his gaze, Frank analyzed

"Is Mr. President throwing an olive branch to you?" Unsure, he asked

"How's it going over there?" Brooklyn had just contacted Michael and Mitchelson separately in the car to learn about the latest developments in Washington.

"Patrick Nestor has the support of the military, Mr. President, should already know." Brooklyn Road

"He's not doing well right now."

"There's no consensus within the Republican Party until now, and my judgment is that they're likely to keep the status quo until the election is over." This also means that Mr. President will never be able to get the full support of the Republican Party, not only will he not be able to get the full support of the Republican Party, but he may even be stabbed in the back by the Republican Party at a critical moment.

"Did they agree with Patrick Nestor?" Frank wondered. Brooklyn shook her head

"Probably not, they introduced Bill Weld." Bill Weld served as governor of Massachusetts.

Well, New York State's nemesis. Needless to say, the people of New York would rather have their ballots invalidated than vote for the governor of their rival state.

"So he must be in need of New York State's support right now." Frank followed Brooklyn's words.

New York is a bitter rival to Massachusetts, and having the support of New York State means a lot to Mr. President, not only to build up the support of a state, but also to beat his opponent Bill Weld.

The crackdown on Bill Weld has extraordinary implications for Mr. President. This could be an opportunity for him to heal divisions within the Republican Party and regain the support of the entire Republican Party.

It's a win-win-win It's no wonder that Mr. President rushed to New York after only half of his home in Texas.

Such a good opportunity, if it were Brooklyn and Frank, they would make the same choice.

"Looks like we're in control." Finally hearing the good news, Frank grinned happily and joked.

"Mr. President, this is a door-to-door service." Brooklyn nodded along. Mr. President has a need, they can operate easily, and the two sides can talk.

In negotiations, it is important to be clear about the needs of the other party. New York is not the only one to support Mr. President, it's a big deal, don't play, you don't help me, I don't help you, everyone hurts each other, see who can't hurt first.

New York may not be able to decide who is president in the election, but it can decide who is not. This is also the reason why Mr. President chose to be soft and hard.

New York has the power to lift the table. Frank asked suddenly, wiping his mouth and tossing the tissue aside

Winston's side ...... "The situation of the three of them is delicate right now. The trio had just gotten through the disagreement over Chandler Kane, and now they were put to an even bigger test.

Will Winston fall completely to Mr. President? Not now, doesn't mean won't in the future. If Mr. President has a clear advantage in the election, and if the situation becomes clearer and the risk of Winston gaining benefits becomes less and less, will he choose to invest more for the greater good?

It's not a good question to be brought up at the beginning of a conversation, and even now, it's not a good idea.

Refer to the state of Brooklyn in the disagreement with Chandler Kane. At that time, Frank and Winston were both implicitly expressing their attitudes.

Brooklyn didn't say anything like bullshit like 'I believe in him' and 'he won't betray us'.

Rather, it is analyzed after a long period of contemplation.
