Chapter 634: Sudden Visit
After a moment's thought, Brooklyn decided to leave Burke alone. It's good to find something to do for the political coalition.
Although the political alliance is still very weak and only a seedling, it has to be guarded against. Finding something for them to do can contain Rozier and keep her out of the chaos here in New York.
This woman is a fan of Mr. President, and having her on board could cause trouble for Brooklyn.
It's good now. Rozier tried his best to seize the political alliance, but Burke Forsman used it instead.
In order to win the support of the members of the alliance, she has already given a lot, and now that she has withdrawn, she will not get anything, and her efforts will be in vain.
Keep staying, Burke Forsman is making trouble again, the political coalition is suspended, and nothing can be discussed.
If she is decisive enough to unite with the rest of the team to kick out Harvard immediately, or give up her initial investment and join the chaos in New York, maybe she can still gain something.
I'm afraid that I can't give up any of them, and in the end, I don't get any of them. Let's see if she has the courage.
As he expected, there was no reply. Mr. President received a message of intent to cooperate from Brooklyn.
Now both sides know that the other side wants to cooperate, and both are sure that they will cooperate in the end, but they both want to grasp the real initiative and want more.
Before the formal negotiation of cooperation, both sides are stretching, who takes the initiative, who is shorter first. A little later, Brooklyn got the form for tomorrow's itinerary, Mr. President.
Morning, Presentation, University of Rochester. Afternoon, Presentation, Rochester Institute of Technology. After visiting Cornell University's main campus in Insaka City, Mr. President went to Rochester.
There was no intention of returning to New York City. The University of Rochester is a private school, but in terms of influence, it is in no way inferior to some of the famous institutions.
The University of Rochester's overall strength is about the third to fourth place in New York State. The top five universities in New York State are: Columbia University, Cornell University, University of Rochester, or New York University, and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
Round of influence, naturally, Columbia University is the greatest. For now, Mr. President probably means to go around New York State along the college rankings.
But he didn't choose Columbia first! Brooklyn, of course, can continue to play like this with Mr. President, for a long time.
Anyway, the general election of Mr. President is coming, and there will always be a time when you can't hold on. But Brooklyn isn't without time limits.
What he faces is even more urgent than the election. After all, the general election is still more than eight months away, and the military delegation will arrive soon.
Brooklyn had an estimate of the actions of the military delegation, but did not expect them to move so quickly.
By eleven o'clock that night, Anne had gone to bed, and Brooklyn was ready to go to bed after reading most of the page.
A car suddenly stopped in front of his yard, and the strong and dazzling headlights illuminated the whole house.
Brooklyn clipped the bookmark and put the book down. Moments later, the team of bodyguards came to report that an old man named Mark Milley Aldington was visiting.
The entourage consisted of two heavily armed men, a man and a woman, identified as two suspicious persons who had appeared this morning.
Brooklyn thought for a moment and walked downstairs.
"Hahaha, Mark!" Brooklyn laughed and greeted Mark Mee warmly.
"Brooklyn!" Mark Milley laughed equally enthusiastically, took two quick steps, shook Brooklyn's hand, and then hugged each other.
They slapped each other the backs for a long time before parting.
"Why are you here so late?" Brooklyn asked with concern on his face as he took Mark Millai's hand and didn't let go.
"Oh, by the way, what about little William? Why didn't you bring it, is he okay? "William is the name of Mark Millai's newborn youngest son.
"It's good." Mark Mee moves his facial muscles and pulls out a classic smiling smile.
"What about Anne? When is the due date? Have you made an appointment in advance? If not, I can introduce you to a few doctors, all of whom are highly accomplished experts in obstetrics, not comparable to public hospitals like Bellevue, and if something really happens, maybe they can help you save your baby. At least you can see your child. Brooklyn was still smiling, his hand still not loose, but his eyes were already narrowed.
"Oh, no, no. I've made an appointment with my obstetrician. What about William Jr.? I heard that he was born, but I haven't seen him yet, so why didn't I bring someone here? Didn't you build him a baby room in New York? ”
"I've been to see it, and it's a pity that you really put your heart into not letting little William live." Since it was determined that Mark Millay had betrayed him, all of Mark Millay's assets, real estate, investments, and everything else in New York, everything that had not had time to be transferred, had been frozen.
The reason is that the source is unknown, or confidential documents are involved, and it is necessary to cooperate with the investigation, or there is a dispute over the property right.
In short, Mark Millay has nothing left in New York. Especially the baby room he worked so hard to build for his youngest son, Brooklyn deliberately took a lot of photos in the baby room, posted them on social accounts, and captioned with the text [There is no absolute bad guy in this world, a person who accepts bribes and is seized from unknown sources of assets may also be a father who loves his children very much] Mark Milai has really put a lot of effort into this baby room, and everything is hand-selected and even built by himself.
The animal model hanging from the crib, he even takes the tools with him on a business trip, and he will inevitably wither after returning to his accommodation at night.
He went out of his way to consult an interior designer, studied interior design, drew his own sketches, matched colors, and designed everything in the baby's room.
It can be said that the effort he spent on the baby room he prepared for William Jr. in New York was his fatherly love for William Jr.
Originally, little William would have lived in this babyroom full of fatherly love and thrived. But all of this was ruined with Mark Millay's break with Brooklyn.
Mark Milley threatened Brooklyn Anne with an accident on the day of production, and then died twice, Brooklyn backhanded William Jr., telling Mark Millais that sooner or later William Jr. would fall into his hands like his assets in New York.
When the time comes, he will dispose of little William as he did with the baby's room. People in the military are not traditional politicians and will not abide by political traditions, and Brooklyn is not a traditional politician and will not abide by traditions.
The two enemies who hated to eat their flesh laughed and slapped each other's shoulders and laughed.
"Won't you invite me in and sit down?" Mark Milai asked. Brooklyn remained stuck in the doorway, shaking his head in refusal
"Anne has already slept, so there's no need for it so late." Mark Millen raised an eyebrow, glanced regretfully at Brooklyn, and turned away.
Pointing to the car driving out of the community, Brooklyn closed the door and turned to go upstairs. He was a little confused by the presence of Mark Milai.
What are you here for? Flaunt? Provocation? No matter how you look at it, his trip tonight is unnecessary.
Brooklyn wasn't sure what Mark Mee was here for. As the day of the military delegation's arrival in New York approached, the situation began to become more complicated.
Personal behavior, which used to be able to be thoroughly understood, has also begun to become unpredictable in a complex environment.
In a simple environment, there are often only a few simple explanations for a move, and when combined with the situation, position and other factors to eliminate unreasonable doubts, it is easy to reach the correct conclusion.
But the situation is now too complex, and a simple move in such a complex environment often gives rise to a myriad of possibilities, and it is impossible to determine which is right and which is wrong.
Mark Millay's personality Brooklyn knows very well, and the act of opening champagne at halftime is too incompatible with him.
Brooklyn thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out, so he could only write it down silently and then put it aside for the time being.
However, just as he was about to go to bed, the phone suddenly rang. It's a call from Bob.
Brooklyn immediately picked up. Bob is very responsible for his work, and the day's work will be taken care of on the same day, usually not taking time off in Brooklyn.
"Boss, Heather Gerken was taken to the hospital and is not doing well." As soon as the phone was connected, Bob didn't say hello and said things directly.
Brooklyn frowned
"What's going on?"
"This afternoon, during the break, Heather Gerken was surrounded by a gang of gang members, and he stabbed the boss of the gang with a toothbrush."
"On Heather Gerken's first day in the Metropolitan Prison, he was targeted by the gang. Heather Gerken was protected by us before, and the wind, meals, and bath times were all separate, and the gang had no chance to contact him at all. ”
"After Heather Gerken refused your recruitment, he was sent to a general cell, and the time of release, eating, and bathing was adjusted to be the same as that of a regular prisoner."
"The gang tried to get Heather Gerken in trouble a few times, but the hijacker helped him back up. Boss, that hijacker is well-connected in prison. ”
"But Heather Gerken was blocked in the bathroom last night and almost succeeded by the gang, and was later interrupted by the hijackers. An argument ensued, which led to prison guards and several gang members being locked up. ”
"The gang deliberately asked the prison guards to adjust the time of the release, and appeared in the courtyard with Heather Gerken this afternoon."
"Heather Gerken, as if he had anticipated, ruffled the intestines of the leader of the gang with the handle of his toothbrush, and he himself was thrown into the hospital."
"The initial diagnosis was fine, with multiple contusions on the face, a fractured left arm, a cracked thigh bone, and a single egg removed."
"But the gang let out the word that when Heather Gerken returned to prison, they were going to skin him." After a pause, Bob explained
"It's really skinning."
"I checked the criminal records of the gang and one of them was a death row inmate."
"Boss, if you want to recruit Heather Gerken, now should be the best time." Heather Gerken is bullied in prison and briefly safed with a toothbrush, but it's not permanent, and soon he will face the test of life and death.
There's never been a better time to recruit Heather Gerken. But Brooklyn wasn't going to recruit the dead fat guy anymore.
Before, he and Heather Gerken slowly boiled the eagle to tame this arrogant beast, and now he can take advantage of the threat of death to temporarily tame him, but it is not permanent.
Through the previous boiling eagle, Brooklyn has understood that Heather Gerken is simply impossible to tame.
He will only briefly succumb to death, and then wait for an opportunity to continue to wreak havoc and seek a way out.
Recruiting Heather Gerken now is not to give himself a boost, but to make trouble for himself and plant a time bomb around him.
"No need." Brooklyn shook his head
"Heather Gerken is impossible to tame."
"Don't pay attention to him, remember to tell me when the news of his death comes."
"Okay, boss." Bob responded, and then said
"In addition, the first members of the military have arrived in New York and are staying at the Manhattan Hotel, and a has received news that tomorrow's Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mark Milley Aldington, will hold a press conference at the Manhattan Hotel, the purpose of which is not yet clear. There is speculation that it may be preparing to answer questions from the public and re-elevate the heat of the incident. ”
"Hmm." Brooklyn replied, asking randomly
"How's it going on Maurice Epstein?"
"The NYPD Joint Prosecutor's Office has launched a secret investigation into Maurice Epstein, Boss, this man has a lot of black material, and believe me, you won't want to see it." Bob seemed to remember something, and his voice was full of strangeness.
"There has been no movement from the Judicial Conduct Committee, e.. Y's first public welfare activity in 2020 is still being planned, and it is preliminarily determined to be a lecture and a dinner. ”
"Also, boss, according to Michael's analysis, your influence within the justice system is declining, and the unresponsiveness of the Judicial Conduct Committee to your complaint handling is a sign of declining influence. According to Michael's analysis, your confrontation with the military has gradually become known to everyone, and people are generally not optimistic about your challenge. "To put it simply, people think Brooklyn is going to lose, and they think Brooklyn is a thing of the past.
Brooklyn's influence in the judicial system is based on his own ability and means, step by step, and his influence is entirely tied to Brooklyn himself.
This has a fatal flaw: if something happens in Brooklyn, his influence will dissipate instantly.
He rose so fast that he simply didn't have time to consolidate his influence. He is not like John Manning or Lenley Crewe, who can pass on his influence as a valuable asset.
He had an accident, fell, died, and his influence would dissipate with his accident.
One will only remember that there was once a shining rising star in the federal judiciary, but this rising star did not live up to his potential and quickly fell.
