Chapter 659, chaos

Even though it was a "big day," Brooklyn didn't disrupt the rhythm.

Harrison drove him into the parking lot and into the inner courtyard by elevator.

Simply clean up, change into a robe, and hold a regular meeting in the conference room.

Perhaps because the "big show" was about to start, everyone was not interested, and today's regular meeting started very quickly, and it ended in half an hour.

Returning to the inner court, Brooklyn begins to prepare for the opening of the court, while asking Webster if General Kuhl has come.

Webster told Brooklyn that General Kuhl had arrived at the courthouse during the regular session, and that he had been besieged at the door, and that some wanted to interview him and some tried to spit on him.

As he stood on the top stairs for a brief interview, some of the clever little ghosts bought a couple of tacos from a nearby Mexican restaurant and threw them at him.

General Kuhl was.

Just as he looked up to look for the murderer, a pot of corn soup fell from the sky and poured down his head.

General Kuhl walked away in embarrassment amid the laughter of the people.

Cameras in the New York media faithfully recorded the embarrassment of General Kuhl's neat military dress draped with food.

According to Webster, General Kuhl is currently in the small break room to communicate with his team of lawyers.

"What about Michael Grady? What about the others?" Brooklyn asked.

Webster glanced at the tablet in his hand and replied that most of them were here.

That is to say, those who received a summons and needed to appear in court today all came, and those who did not receive a summons or did not need to appear in court did not come.

Michael Grady didn't come!

Brooklyn nodded, seeing that the time was just right, picked up the computer and walked towards the courtroom.

"Let's go."

…………

Brooklyn's longing for Michael Grady appeared downstairs at the hotel where Mr. President was staying.

Early in the morning, Mr. President, slightly embarrassed and sleepy, was stopped by Michael Grady as he was escorted downstairs by people to get into the car to continue his campaign trip.

Winston, who was waiting in the car, had already pushed open the door, smiling and preparing to welcome Mr. President into the car, when he heard shouts in the distance, and then a person was stopped by the secret service, and after a moment of negotiation, a man in a military uniform came from far and near.

Winston couldn't laugh anymore.

Michael Grady!

How did he end up here?

Mr. President was not very happy and yawned and asked, "Michael Grady, you need to make an appointment."

After saying that, he reached out to the secret service and asked for a temporary pass for Michael Grady, turned around and got into the car, and turned his head to complain to Winston, "The climate in New York is so bad, I almost lost sleep last night......

Although he was talking to Winston, Mr. President didn't let the car go immediately, just opened the door and parked here.

He even stopped the secret service who was about to come up and close the door.

Mr. President was intrigued by this deputy chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff who suddenly appeared in front of him!

………………

Courtroom No. 9 was packed.

Brooklyn fiddled with the computer, waiting for it to turn on.

There was a bit of confusion below due to the number of people.

General Kuhl sat in the dock in formal attire, and next to him were two lawyers, sorting out the papers.

The prosecution has been replaced by another prosecutor.

The prosecutor, Brooklyn, was familiar to him, and he vaguely remembered that he had worked as an assistant to Ben Stone.

Looking at the prosecutor who was seriously preparing, Brooklyn couldn't help but think of Ben Stone and Woodward, as well as the flight attendant whose names he didn't even know.

He hadn't been to see them in a long, long time.

Maybe you should check it out when you have time this week.

Thinking so, the computer is turned on, enter the password to log in, link to the server, log in, enter the file number, and bring up the General Kuhl file interface.

Last time due to

General Kuhl himself was not present, only a lawyer who had been appointed, and the process was stuck in the arraignment. The request for arraignment must be answered by the defendant himself.

The reason why General Kuhl's eucalyptus is only arraigned today and is not held unofficially is that in addition to General Kuhl himself, another reason is that many people think that General Kuhl will not easily admit guilt.

Many even believe that General Chur will refute the accusations made by the prosecution.

That would be a good debate.

Brooklyn was just about to start asking about the presence of the lawyers and clients on both sides when the phone on the table suddenly buzzed.

He frowned and picked up his phone to look at it.

Winston?

What is he calling at this point in time?

It stands to reason that Winston should have been on his way to accompany Mr. President to his next campaign speech.

Brooklyn grabbed his phone and walked towards the inner court.

"Winston?"

"Mr. President has changed the course of his campaign speeches, and we are on our way to the Military Academy in New York."

"Michael Grady is with Mr. President, and he will be one of the guest speakers for this campaign."

"It was Michael Grady who proposed going to the New York Military Academy."

Winston succeeded in calling Brooklyn stupid in three sentences.

First of all, in the first sentence, Mr. President changed the course of the speech, which is not surprising. Not to mention that the destination of the change is to go to the Military Academy in New York.

Mr. President was born in Queens, New York, and the New York Military Academy is Mr. President's alma mater, and it is understandable that he suddenly changed his mind and wanted to visit his alma mater to gain support.

Despite the fact that the New York Military Academy offers secondary education in grades 7-12, the student body simply cannot provide votes for Mr. President.

On the contrary, this makes the utilitarian a lot lower, and it can highlight the affection and righteousness of Mr. President.

As long as Mr. President's campaign team is not blind, he will not let go of such a good publicity opportunity.

Mr. President returned to his hometown during the hectic election campaign and took time out to return to his alma mater for a visit!

The second sentence is not quite normal.

What does it mean that Michael Grady is with Mr. President?

What does it mean for Michael Grady to appear as a guest speaker?

What do you mean?

Brooklyn felt a little confused.

As a representative of the military delegation, Michael Grady's words and deeds are naturally endowed with political significance and will be recognized as military trends.

The military had worked well with Patrick Nestor before, and the two sides were embarrassed to be women, and they had been secretly plotting for an unknown amount of time.

And now Michael Grady suddenly jumped out to give Patrick Nestor's nemesis a platform?

Brooklyn really wants to ask Michael Grady: Aren't you afraid that emergency orders will transfer you back, and aren't you afraid that your other colleagues will pick you skin?

This kind of obviously erroneous political display not only causes great damage to the image of the military – even though it has little image to speak of – but also causes huge damage to its allies, and even more severely, it may directly jeopardize cooperation with political allies and lead to enmity.

After the shock, Brooklyn slowly reacted.

Because of this, Michael Grady chose not to be an official campaign speech event, but to the New York Military Academy, a presidential private event for middle school students.

The campaign speech wasn't very political.

This is not speaking to Cornell students or Syracuse students.

This is just a little alumni speech in front of Mr. President.

The political connotation is not strong enough, and it is more like an expression of cooperation intentions.

But Brooklyn is still wondering, will Michael Grady work with Mr. President?

As for the third sentence, going to the New York Military Academy was proposed by Michael Grady,

This shows that Michael Grady is prepared.

He did not participate in General Kuhl's summons, and he did not participate in the pre-trial of so many middle- and low-level officers, and ran to Mr. President to convey his inexplicable intentions, which was not improvised.

"I see."

Brooklyn teaches Winston what to do and dictates to Winston.

Winston is a mature politician who knows how to handle the situation better than he does.

On the contrary, he was worried about himself, so he hurriedly called to inform him.

Ending the call, Brooklyn walked into the courtroom with a normal complexion.

During the time Brooklyn was away, the courtroom was in a commotion that was about to turn into a vegetable market.

When Brooklyn walked in, the commotion subsided a bit.

When Brooklyn sat in the judge's seat and coughed twice, the hustle and bustle became quieter.

Brooklyn looked up at the room, and instead of continuing to maintain order, he opened his mouth to ask about the presence of the prosecution and defense parties and their lawyers.

As he spoke, the scene finally fell silent.

After confirming that all the relevant personnel were present, Brooklyn proceeded with the previous procedure to question General Kuhl and asked him how he would respond to the prosecution's charges and evidence.

General Kuhl pleaded not guilty.

But to most people's surprise, neither General Chur nor his team of lawyers challenged the evidence and charges presented by the prosecution.

In fact, if you think about it a little, you can understand that the two sides of this dispute are Brooklyn and Michael Grady, and New York and the military. The winning or losing of the trial is directly linked to the winning or losing of the wrestling.

It's useless to question at this point.

Even if the argument is justified and a few accusations are successfully removed after some debate, so what?

If the military at the center of the wrestling loses to Michael Grady, the prosecution is ready to produce more evidence and bring more charges against him.

General Kuhl was very cooperative in court. His unexpectedly cooperative attitude disappointed many people who had managed to squeeze in to watch a big show, and also made the trial process extremely smooth.

It's a bit anticlimactic.

After recording the defendant's plea of not guilty on the intranet, Brooklyn did not announce the amount of bail and the payment method to the defendant, as is usually the case, but only asked for a ban from leaving New York City.

How to restrain military suspects was the only issue worth discussing in this morning's regular meeting.

After comparison, Brooklyn decided that restricting departure from New York City was an appropriate request.

This is followed by the announcement of the submission of the list of evidence by the prosecution and the defence and the selection of the jury.

After the announcement was over, Brooklyn rang the gavel and declared it over.

After packing up his computer and water glass, and returning to the inner courtyard, Brooklyn hurriedly searched the Internet for the live broadcast of the speech at the New York Military Academy.

Brooklyn doesn't believe that Mr. President's staff will miss this good image opportunity.

Sure enough, he found the live broadcast of Mr. President's campaign speech on A and many other official websites that were not mentioned.

Brooklyn ended up choosing A.

Judging from the picture, A should have grabbed a good position.

The live radio is very clear.

And because of the nature of the Military Academy in New York, the discipline of the students who came to listen to the lecture was very good, and there was no commotion and crowding, and there was no shouting.

Everyone stood there in a proper manner, listening quietly to the speech.

There was only the voice of Mr. President.

Brooklyn had no intention of listening to what Mr. President had to say, his eyes wandering back and forth in the frame, looking for Michael Grady.

Was attending the lecture at the New York Military Academy to sabotage cooperation with Mr. President?

Brooklyn can only think of this, otherwise this move by Michael Grady is pointless.

But how can he destroy it?

president

Sir is not a fool, as Brooklyn can attest.

Michael Grady wants to fool Mr. President by writing a blank check, I'm afraid it's impossible.

He had to come up with some real material and show sincerity.

Just participating in a presentation to middle school students is not sincere.

What's more, he still participated in his personal capacity.

- The military would not authorize Michael Grady to come over and support Mr. President unless they are crazy.

provoked Patrick Nestor, if that old man really went crazy, even if he couldn't kill the military, he could make the military disgraced.

After all, for Patrick Nestor, who is about to complete his life's journey, it is simply unforgivable to be deceived a few steps before the finish line.

Michael Grady wants to sabotage the cooperation with the president, and how?

Brooklyn thought about it and thought about it, and kept thinking that Mr. President invited Michael Grady to the stage to share his military service experience with alumni, but he still didn't figure it out.

He always felt that Michael Grady's current behavior was inconsistent with how he looked at it.

How awkward it looks!

After listening to Michael Grady's speech for a while, Brooklyn decided not to pay attention to it for now. He still has a lot of work to do.

Michael Grady's speech was full of his personal style, concise, capable, and efficient.

Brooklyn pouted, closed the website, logged into the intranet, and browsed the file records.

Today's trial of several cases involving military personnel only ended in Brooklyn itself, and the rest is still ongoing.

Closing the intranet, Brooklyn was just about to call Webster when he received a call from Bob.

Dozens of minutes earlier, he had received a call from Winston, who had told him that Michael Grady had made a puzzling move.

Now, dozens of minutes later, he received another call from Bob.

Hopefully this morning's phone call won't be bad luck forever.

Brooklyn said something in his mind, swiping across the screen to answer.

"Boss, Burke Forsman is being resuscitated from serious injuries, you should check it out. I've got my ticket ready."
