America started its counterattack from the bum

Chapter 388: Wind Rising in Nanhua 2
A few days ago, DC.

When Washington, the founding father and first president of the United States, chose this place as the capital, it was just a bushy plain. The main buildings were wooden cottages. Even its name was still Columbus. Its only advantage was the low land price.

However, after more than two hundred years of development, as the United States has gradually grown from a marginal country to a global empire, the DC District has also been changing at an unprecedented speed.

Here gathers the world's most "excellent" and representative political elites. Some of them come from fishing families on the southern coast, some from old industrial cities in the Great Lakes region, some from overseas trusteeships, and yes, some are mistresses, but that doesn't matter. They come from hundreds of different places around the world, and each of them carries the foundation on which imperial hegemony depends.

Members of Congress on Capitol Hill are of different races: German, Italian, Hispanic, Old Saxon, Scottish, and... well, black. The extremely complex racial affiliation represents the background of America as a country dominated by immigrants.

Outside the White House and outside Capitol Hill, there are two hidden power systems in DC: the executive branch and outside lobbying groups.

The core of the former is civil servants, while the latter helps legislators to seek short-term rent of power - similar to a short-term love connection. This metaphor is not very decent, or it can be said to be very indecent.

But in fact, this is also true. The power of congressmen does not lie in their ability to propose proposals, because even if they propose a proposal, it may not be passed. Their role is only to vote, and the lobbying groups outside the parliament exist to make them vote.

Leaving aside the complicated payment methods, the process can be roughly understood as "tell me how much you want to pay per time".

In addition, due to the endless stream of bills in the U.S. Congress and the reality that capital groups and their agents are constantly gaming, the "ticket prices" of congressmen are not that valuable from a monetization perspective.

The votes of important councillors like Nancy, Prime Minister Turtle, and even Sister Haha are hard to "buy", but the prices for others won't be too high - there are hundreds of people waiting with their mouths open, and the competition is fierce.

But this is a hidden power system. Because of its nature, it is somewhat on the edge of the law. Therefore, for most people in need, getting started is extremely difficult, but it is also the only difficulty.

As it happens, Benny knew where the door was.

Remember, this little Deng caught the eye of the Disney president through his connections with the little party prince - this is something that the network-oriented aides should learn about.

After accepting the olive branch from old Crusoe and joining the new force founded by Cheng Daiqi, Benny's first task was to go to DC to deal with the US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo.

Therefore, he flew to DC alone last night, bought a bouquet of flowers on the roadside, and then knocked on the door of his college classmate.

He managed to find the door that was difficult for most people using only a bouquet of flowers and a rope. After a fierce battle, Benny hugged his old lover who now worked in a well-known think tank and asked while touching him.

“Do you know Mike Pong?”

"That idiot? Everyone in DC knows him. What do you want to do with him?"

"Because he's a bit stupid, some people want to get in touch with him, and I'm just the errand boy."

"So, you've changed jobs now?"

"Well, you know, not proposing to you back then is the thing I regret most in my life. I have to pay nearly $100,000 in child support every month now, eh."

No matter how much of a hero you are, under American divorce law, Benny has to worry every day about how to pay child support next month.

This old man has been married and divorced many times. After a few divorce lawsuits, he has almost reached a state where he has to support more than a dozen people by himself.

Sometimes he would think that it would be better to marry a more reliable college classmate. At least after spending a long time together, he would be familiar with those girls.

"Come on, I'm not in the mood to get married. If I have money, why not hire a male model? You're not tough enough!"

The old lover's words were so hurtful that Benny was speechless for a moment, and then he said viciously.

"Okay, okay, let's do it again. I'll show you how big Daddy Benny is."

"Poor man, can you please be more confident? Is your self-esteem so weak?"

It hurts even more, Benny said bitterly.

".So I want to meet with Mike Pompeo, do you have any channels?"

The old lover held Benny's face and kissed him, comforting his frustrated old friend, and then said.

"Let me think about it. The secretary general of the North American Women's Human Rights Development Foundation is a relative of Mike Pompeo. I'll help you get in touch with him. By the way, who are you working for now? They must be very powerful to have been able to pry you away from Disney, right?"

This is the essence of the secret power network in DC - information asymmetry. Benny's old lover knows clearly where the relatives of those big shots are and that those secretaries are the real core figures.

On Capitol Hill, congressmen are very busy, and their secretaries are no less busy. The secretaries of some well-known congressmen even have more power than many congressmen.

Through these small roles, lobbying organizations can leverage huge political resources and thus have the best of both worlds.

For example, a capital group from abroad wants to buy a way out. The manager of the lobbying group that the old lover works for, which looks like a think tank, receives the order. The price he charges is the price for buying a member of parliament. However, the old lover only needs to find the corresponding secretary, assistant, or relative of the member of parliament to easily get the job done.

There is a considerable profit in helping people get things done, and how much lubrication costs can be saved in the process depends on the level of different lobbying agencies.

As for the latter question, Benny's employment situation is no secret in the circle. He works for Semitic Capital, which is a good job.

So, his old lover was very curious about who Benny's new employer would be.

"Mr. Joel Dracula, I work in his institute, honorary director and chief researcher."

"That unfortunate fellow was not paralyzed."

Old Joe’s tragic story was not spread in the news, but everyone who should know it knew it.

Benny sighed as he touched his old lover's smooth long hair.

"So, you can assume I work for Wolfe, Wolfe Dracula of the California Elephant Party. Do you know him?"

"The old vampire died and the young vampire took over, but you're still working for the Semitic Wanderers, Ben, don't you feel any guilt at all?"

Benny was stunned for a moment, and the woman in his arms broke free, stood up and picked up the glass of water.

In the room, the orange ambient light shone on the girl's body. Looking at her beautiful muscular curves, Benny's memory quickly went back to more than ten years ago.

Time flies, but some people remain the same. This is cool, but it's a bit cruel to people like Benny.

"I have to make a living. I have five children to support now."

The old lover turned around, leaned on the table, stared at his old classmate, and said after a long silence.

"Okay, let's not talk about this. I'll try to arrange a meeting for you with Mike Pompeo. After all, he's also from California. As for Wolfe Ha, does he want to run for the Senate directly?"

A Semitic wanderer super-rich man entered politics with the extreme slogan of "abortion is unpatriotic" and became the vice president of the California Elephant Party Committee within a few months. This phenomenon was too eye-catching in the eyes of those who were interested.

Wolf Dracula is only in his early thirties!
And Benny's old lover happens to be an elite in a lobbying organization, and this is her job.

Benny thought of how old Crusoe persuaded him to change jobs. He hesitated for more than ten seconds, and then spoke carefully.

"Wolf is not fighting alone, and he doesn't want a seat on Capitol Hill, hoeny, you can probably understand that they want to make the California Elephant Party great again. For example, they have already begun to lay out positions for San Los Metropolitan Council members and San Francisco City Council members."

As we all know, the United States does not have a deep government in the true sense, and it is impossible for the so-called consensus that transcends interests to emerge among the extremely diversified capital interest groups.

So, what kind of person can become the true leader of America?
The answer can be found in the common characteristics of Achilles and Cheng Daqi: strong economic strength, significant influence in certain fields, the courage to overturn the table, and more importantly, the courage to participate in the most intense and cruel game.

"Damn it, you got a good job, I'm going to charge you an agency fee!"

The old lover obviously understood what Benny meant, and she was a little envious of Benny's opportunity.

In the most developed region of America, a new political force began to attempt to rise.

Whether or not this attempt to change the situation is successful, Benny will make a lot of money from this job.

"It's a small matter. I have sufficient funds for the event. I'll give you $50,000 first, and then $200,000 if you succeed."

"Fuck, I feel like I've become a female branch girl!"

"Fifty thousand dollars a time. Considering your age, you are a top star~"

"Hahaha, Ben, you're still such an asshole!"
-
Wolf Dracula is not well adapted to the cold and humid climate of the Magic City.

He has lived in Saint-Lo for a long time and is accustomed to the dry climate. Because he is physically fit, he can even travel in light clothing in winter.

But when he arrived in Shanghai, the temperature was only 20 degrees, but he still felt very cold.

"Chan, I didn't expect you to drag me to China. I don't even have a visa. I had to get it expedited from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to come here."

Outside Hongqiao Airport, Cheng Daiqi and Wolfe hugged each other after a long separation.

"It's time to come and see. If you want to be a politician in the United States in the future, you will inevitably have to deal with China."

That's an interesting thing to say, Mr. Wolfe laughed and replied.

"I have already arranged the private jet you asked me to contact for you, but it may take another three months - but this is already very, very fast. You know, I helped you rob one."

There are also gaps among the super-rich. The old Shemitic Wanderer Flag Master obviously has more face than 99% of the world's super-rich. Wolfe really helped Cheng Daiqi grab one.

Wolfe has always felt powerless when facing collaborators such as Cheng Daiqi and Temir.

Because these people didn't intend to take any money at all, and before they became successful, they even called Wolf some money - this sincerity was actually a bit weird.

So, as soon as Mr. Cheng asked for help, Wolf personally did it for him.

"How much?" Cheng Daiqi asked as he pulled Wolfe into the car.

Cheng Daiqi gave him a gift to show his sincerity. He was not a fool, so he tasted something of it later.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, Mr. Cheng treats him quite well.

Helping him kill his own father was one thing, helping him join the core circle of the Elephant Party establishment was one thing, and helping him integrate the California Elephant Party was another.

Well, it used to be Gru who had a love-hate relationship with Cheng Daiqi, but now that Cheng has gone further and higher, it’s Wolf who has a love-hate relationship with him.

In a split second, Wolfe made a decision that went against his identity as a capitalist.

"Give it to you!"

Cheng Daiqi certainly would not accept such a gift.

He is not short of money, but his cash flow is temporarily insufficient, and even this insufficiency is based on his rapid ascension.

"Don't be ridiculous. Although I don't have the ability to pay the full amount, I can still pay in installments."

Wolff knows how to win people's hearts, otherwise he will not be able to stabilize the Dracula family whose father has suddenly gone bankrupt.

"Chan, I need you to help me with something, not for nothing."

Mr. Cheng asked curiously.

"what's up?"

Wolfe said hesitantly.

"I plan to form an alliance with the Sandy family. You seemed to have said that she would come this time, too?"

Good guy.

Even the great people were dumbfounded.

"Um, Wolfe, as I recall, you seemed to have suddenly thought of getting married?"

Oh my god, Lord Rabbit wants to go ashore!
Mr. Cheng would never do such a pimping thing. It goes against his conscience!

But if Wolfe sent a plane, the request would not be too much.

I'll give you a few hundred million, and you help me get ashore - all right.

"The Dracula family needs an heir. You don't know that I now have more bodyguards than you do."

The super rich also have troubles. What Wolfe meant was that he needed an heir, otherwise as soon as he died, those relatives he had not dealt with would eat him.

He was a human being after all, and it was impossible for him to kill all the people in his family. After all, the number of people who survived far exceeded the number he killed.

These people don't understand how Wolfe got to the top and stood firm. They only know that Wolfe is lucky and cruel.

Wolfe couldn't tell them that he could even become a great player.
This was his dilemma, he needed some heirs to discourage the plots of those who were snooping around.

Moreover, the mother of the heir cannot be too weak. America's cultural origins come from the West, and bloodline was highly valued in both the classical and medieval periods of Europe.

Even the current commander-in-chief values ​​bloodline.
Therefore, Wolfe needed a stronger marriage partner.

"But your emotional pursuit of Wolfe, forgive me, I don't mean to offend, I mean, you are actually very famous, and part of the reason you are popular in the California Elephant Party is because of your special sexual orientation."

Political correctness is not exclusive to the Donkey Party. When a trend is formed, even the Elephant Party must respect it.

That's why Achilles suspected that Wolfe wanted to be elected as the commander-in-chief - this guy has a complicated background and amazing talent!
A Semitic wanderer, a homosexual, a pro-abortion conservative, and a super-rich person, if you put them together a little bit, you'd have a perfect match made in heaven.

"First, Sandy can't be a stepping stone for you. Second, if you get together with her, those homosexuals will think you are bisexual, which is the lowest level in that circle. It is not conducive to your career in politics, my friend."

Wolfe sighed and spread his hands.

"But I always need an heir, a bloodline heir, not artificial insemination or surrogacy. I also need to find a stronger mother for him, Chan, I need your help!"
