Thursday, January 23, 2020. Today's weather is far worse than yesterday. When I woke up early in the morning, the sky was gray, and clouds were accumulating, as if even the sky had been crushed and lowered, and even the sea no longer looked beautiful blue or gold, but turned the same leaden gray as the sky.

The wind has been blowing since before dawn, taking away a lot of heat from New York City, and by the time dawn the temperature in New York City has plummeted below freezing.

The streets of New York are still bustling, but perhaps due to the weather, people are in a bad mood, filled with the sound of horns and curses.

Brooklyn had just finished drinking milk and was about to head out with his bag of papers when Bob's phone called.

"Boss, Michael Grady has two hours to arrive in New York." Bob was standing on the edge of the hotel bed, holding the phone in one hand and the waistband of his trousers in the other, one leg on the ground and the other bent into the trouser leg.

Given the current situation, Bob didn't play late last night, just played a routine game of cards, and kicked the man out to sleep.

Early in the morning, while he was still asleep, he was woken up by the ringing of the phone, and then he received the message. After hearing this, Bob immediately came to his senses, and he jumped out of bed and called Brooklyn while looking for clothes to wear.

"I see." Brooklyn replied in a deep voice. Hanging up Bob's phone, Harrison was driving off from Brooklyn, and as soon as the car drove out of the neighborhood, the phone rang again.

This time it was Frank calling.

"Mark Mee asked to visit Chandler Kane." Frank's voice rang out. There was some noise on his side, as if it was on the road, and the shrill honking of the horn was accompanied by the vaguely distinguishable shouting and swearing of the driver.

The next moment, the sound of the whistle and the shouting and scolding all disappeared. Presumably Frank closed the windows to block out the noise.

"I see." Brooklyn glanced at the snail-like car in front of him and said in a deep voice

"Bob just informed me that Michael Grady would arrive in New York in two hours." Strange to say, traffic jams can be understood on rainy and snowy days, and traffic jams on the road are also particularly bad on cloudy days.

Harrison's driving skills are recognized by Brooklyn, but even a master like Harrison can't fight his way through the dense and gapless congestion.

Brooklyn frowned and glanced at the driver next door, a middle-aged man with a hairstyle surrounded by a central classic, who had become obese due to excessive sugar intake.

He was poking his head out of the window, his face facing forward, his mouth opening and closing rapidly, and he seemed to spout a lot of words.

Because the windows were closed and the sound insulation was good, Brooklyn didn't hear what the man was saying, but he guessed it wasn't a good word.

As if sensing that someone was staring at him, the driver turned his head to meet Brooklyn's gaze.

The driver was just about to make a move, but Brooklyn didn't bother to give him a chance at all, and just withdrew his gaze, and Harrison also flicked the steering wheel and nimbly inserted himself in front of the front of the car next door.

Now the driver with the chubby classic hairstyle is in Brooklyn.

"Mr. President, hasn't you heard back yet?" Frank's voice pulls Brooklyn back to reality from his brain-empty state.

He shook his head

"Nope. Don't worry, Frank, we're not going to fight the entire military to the end. "Mr. President doesn't want to be direct, he wants you to come and go, and if he wants to get away with it, Brooklyn will play with him.

But these tunes take time, and what they lack now is time. According to the plan, when the military arrives in New York, they should have gathered all their resources, negotiated with all potential allies, and attacked the military as soon as they arrived in New York, so that the military will continue to fall into a state of cradling, unable to stand on its feet, unable to sort out the status quo, feeling hostile everywhere, and attacks coming from all directions, incessantly, endlessly.

Obviously, the actual progress is a bit far from the planned schedule.

"I've declined Mark Meere's request for visitation, but when Michael Grady arrives, they'll definitely apply for Chandler Kane." Once Frank can block, twice Frank can block, but what about three, four, five, six, seven, eight, ninety?

Frank can hold off Mark Mee, Michael Grady can try, and General Kuhl can barely afford it, but what about the entire military application?

Frank could only delay the military's meeting with Chandler Kane, and could not make this impossible.

"Frank, that's your part." Brooklyn said in a deep voice

"My original proposal was rejected by you and Winston, then you should be responsible for solving the trouble caused by the veto, he is your man, and you are responsible for dealing with the trouble he caused." When Brooklyn wanted to kill Chandler Kane to prevent the possible trouble and danger that might follow, Winston and Frank persuaded him not to do so.

"I'll fix it." Frank said a word, which was kind of a response to Brooklyn. Brooklyn thought for a moment and asked

"Can you make sure he doesn't talk nonsense? Can you make sure he doesn't make an offer to you? "Of course not. Human beings are complex, and their thoughts at a certain moment determine their actions at a certain time, and this kind of thoughts and actions are full of accidents and uncertainties.

No one can completely predict what a person will do in the next moment. No one can be 100% sure what choice a person will make in the next moment.

Even if he traveled back from the future, not so. Because everyone has countless choices at all times, even if all the objective conditions are the same, the probability that the person's two choices are the same is negligible.

Frank controls Chandler Kane's mistakes and manipulates Chandler Kane for a long time, Brooklyn has a lot of contact with Chandler Kane, and he can see Chandler Kane's character clearly.

The two men understood Chandler Kane more deeply than he understood himself. But even so, the two are not sure whether Chandler Kane will take the opportunity to ask for a price, or turn to the military.

Theoretically, no, and the character model based on past actions and personalities also gives a negative answer, but this is theoretical, not realistic.

Frank obviously can't give guarantees.

"Forget it, I'll go to the hospital." Brooklyn said.

"You can ask Mark Mie to come and visit, and I'll be watching."

"Frank, you owe me this time." Frank didn't say anything, it was a tacit acquiescence. Objectively speaking, this time it was Chandler Kane who caused the trouble, and he couldn't solve it, but Brooklyn helped solve it.

It's the equivalent of solving problems for him.

"Keep an eye on the airport, I want to know all about Michael Grady." Mark Mee's visit to Chandler Kane was settled, Brooklyn added

"Michael Grady is a tough guy." Frank asked

"The substation said that someone came late at night last night, is it okay? Is it still safe? You can send Anne to my house first, my daughter is also a lawyer, and they must have a lot of common language. ”

"Not for now, but the safe house needs to be hurryed." Brooklyn declined and thanked Frank for his kindness, explained

"It's Mark Milai, he came and said a bunch of inexplicable things, and then he left." Brooklyn recounted the whole process of meeting with Mark Meelai last night, and then said

"I don't know what he's going to do, to be honest I'm completely blinded by him, it's not his style." Brooklyn couldn't figure it out at all, he just planned to write down this anomaly first, and didn't plan to dwell too much on it, telling Frank to tell it, and he rushed here because he was in a hurry.

He didn't expect Frank to give an answer. Frank, however, groaned and confirmed to Brooklyn

"Are you saying that the two men who followed Mark Millaine were the same man and woman who appeared near your house yesterday morning?"

"Well, that's right. They looked like Mark Millay's bodyguards. Brooklyn confirmed.

Mark Milley was barricaded at the door, and Brooklyn didn't let anyone in. The two of them were also talking at the door, and the two of them were standing behind Mark Milai, but they could vaguely recognize their appearances, but they couldn't see their expressions clearly.

"They may not just be Mark Millai's bodyguards." Frank said.

"Remember the last press conference?"

"You mean ......" Brooklyn frowned, unsure of which one Frank was talking about. There have been a lot of recent press conferences, including the military, the NYPD, the governor's office, the New York City Hall, the Dish Cooking Party, and the General Election Candidates' Campaign Office......

"The one hosted by Michael Grady." Frank Road

"Michael is the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Mark Milley is the chairman."

"It's normal for Michael to host that press conference, right?" Brooklyn Road. There is nothing suspicious about this, Mark Millai is indeed the chairman, but he can't do everything himself, and it would not be enough to crack him into eight hundred.

Brooklyn has suffered from doing it himself, and he almost exhausted himself to death.

"It's normal." Frank explained

"But Mark Milley has been a little too quiet lately, and in such a big deal, especially when it comes to Mark Milley himself, he's been too quiet, but it's Michael Grady, who's a little too active."

"I suspect that the reason why Mark Milai is so quiet is not because of his own will, but because he feels threatened. Threats from Michael Grady. "This is the kind of thing that Winston and Frank are familiar with.

Frank had climbed up from a patrolman with a knife and a shot, and his path to advancement was covered with the corpses of his rivals, and he was all too familiar with this kind of internal confrontation.

Winston has fought his way through the election campaign and reached the top step by step, and he is also very familiar with this kind of mutual stumbling and stitching.

Brooklyn, on the other hand, has risen by accident, his rise has been too rapid to be replicated, and he has not been exposed to many such situations except for the infighting in the Harvard Parliament.

When encountered, it is natural that I will not think about this aspect at the first time. As soon as Frank said this, Brooklyn understood.

What he means is that Mark Millay's position in the military has been shaken, and Michael Grady sees the opportunity to win more support, and takes the opportunity to charge Mark Millay and is competing with Mark Milley for the right to speak.

When you think about it, this is indeed a reasonable explanation. Brooklyn remembers that when his relationship with Mark Milley was in his honeymoon period, Mark Milley said that he was not without enemies in the military, and that the affairs of the military were not something he could decide in a word.

If the military really had been a sign of Mark Meere, the military's collaboration with Patrick Nestor and the Dish Cooking Party would not have been known to him until this year.

"It's a reasonable explanation." Brooklyn Road

"Mark Milai's position in the army is not secure."

"Yes." Frank laughed

"What we did to the military doesn't make the military a monolith, as you said, they're individuals, they have their own demands, and the attacks we launched are a crisis for some, but an opportunity for others." The military is not monolithic, although everyone has known about this matter before, and has reached a consensus, but after all, we don't know what kind of extent this 'is not monolithic'.

Especially after Mark Millay's betrayal of Brooklyn, they lost their intelligence source in the military, and they lost the source of information to probe the internal situation of the military high-level, they knew nothing about the inside of the military, and everything could only be guessed and deduced.

Since it is only a matter of guesswork, the situation can only be set to the worst. In other words, they need to acquiesce in the fact that the military's views on responding to their surprise attack are highly unified, that they are unselfish, unanimous, resolute and unified in their actions, and resolve the trouble as quickly as possible.

This means that the difficulties they face are hell mode, a behemoth with one mind, a high degree of unity, one goal, and one action.

It is the strongest force that the military can theoretically exert itself. Now they have found out a little bit of information through Mark Milai's actions last night, it turns out that there is not a high degree of unity within the military.

It turns out that the military is also at odds with each other. It turns out that there will be people within the military who want to take advantage of this opportunity to eradicate dissidents.

It turned out that the military had a serious power struggle as well. It turns out that the military is no different from ordinary forces.

The military is not mysterious. While this speculation does not defuse the situation and provide them with effective help, it does allow them to have a more accurate assessment of the true strength of the military and make them less nervous.

That's enough to change a lot of things. So Brooklyn and Frank laughed.

This is probably the biggest piece of good news in recent times.
