America started its counterattack from the bum

Javier is an old acquaintance of Niu Sen.

In terms of seniority, he was Niu Sen's predecessor as he once sat in the first row on Capitol Hill.

In terms of position, he is someone who has been working with Nancy for a long time.

Moreover, after being interpreted by the lip-reading master, Javier already knew that he had been chosen by the two big guys and might take over Niu Sen's position as governor in the future.

Therefore, no matter from which angle you look at it, it is impossible for Javier and Niu Sen to be together.

But this is the absurdity of the world. In the game of power, the relationship between different participants is often changing all the time.

Positions, principles and even beliefs are not so unbreakable.

For example, when the President had not yet entered the game of power, he often acted as a vanguard for Diane. At that time, his relationship with Diane and her husband was so good that they almost shared the same quilt.

Later, it did not affect the close combat between the two sides until they beat each other's brains out.

As the operator of the reintegration of the California Elephant Party, Mr. Cheng has no close relationship with Javier, and the cooperation between the two sides faces relatively large challenges.

But Niu Sen is different. Mr. Cheng has been trying to win over Niu Sen for so long just to have a 'contributor' in the Donkey Party who can help him realize more special possibilities when needed.

Making New Times a non-profit organization is part of this possibility. Privatizing the San Lord County Jail in the future is also a possibility. Now, winning over Javier through Niu Sen is also within the scope of this possibility.

"Is it about Will?"

Javier thought the governor wanted to talk about his younger brother Will.

After all, Will had been captured and taken to the headquarters of Forbole, and he believed Niu Sen would be very anxious.

It can only be said that Javier still lacks understanding of the depth of the cooperation between Niu Sen and General Cheng, and the ruthlessness of General Cheng's methods.

Will is now controlled by Hut, and is almost like collateral for the cooperation between Niu Sen and Mr. Cheng. The governor is not worried about Will. What he is worried about is that Mr. Cheng will be crushed by Nancy!
"Please take a seat. What can Will do? It has nothing to do with him. I want to talk to you this time. Wait, I want to know first - what do you think of the conversation that was deciphered by the lip reader?"

In the California pastor's office, Javier was made a little nervous by Niu Sen's blunt words and leaned back subconsciously.

Of course, he was not scared by Niu Sen. Niu Sen had an extraordinary status, but Javier was not much worse.

One is the prince of the California Gang who may be deposed, and the other is an old minister who has worked for the Donkey Party and the California Gang for many years. Their status are similar.

What makes Havel uncomfortable is: Is this kind of question appropriate to ask?

Child, you seem to be lacking in self-control.

"After that day, many people asked me this question. Actually, my idea is quite simple. If you need me to do something for the Donkey Party, I am willing to do it."

Javier: It's not me who wants to mess with you, it's other people. I'm not in a position to help you, nor do I have to refuse gifts from others.

This is the trust of the organization, how can I refuse?

However, Havel's statement is actually very cautious.

The so-called future arrangements only exist in the distant future. The Attorney General is an old politician. It is impossible for him to offend Niu Sen to death just because of an empty title that has not yet been fulfilled.

"There's nothing bad to say, my aunt is not happy about my close relationship with the California Elephant Party.

You are from San Lodo, ​​and you are friends with Crusoe, so you are more familiar with the California Elephant Party than I am.

I mean, given the situation of the California Elephant Party, does it look like it could threaten us?"

What Niu Sen said was basically nonsense, but Javier was familiar with it.

"Yeah, the California Elephant Party is no threat to us."

Young people would worry about right and wrong, facts, morality and even the law, but Havel would not make that kind of mistake.

No matter what his plan is, just obey it.

This is the wisdom of doing things, and it is also the wisdom necessary to be a politician.

When someone starts to behave in an idiotic way, as a bystander, your stance should be that there must be a reason why he is being so idiotic.

Even if he is a real idiot, there is no need to expose him - there is no need to offend him, just avoid him when you meet him in the future.

"Garcetti doesn't think so, and I don't know what he said to my aunt, but it doesn't matter.

I want you to help me teach Corrections Corporation of America a little lesson. As you know, New Times has a private prison project, which I promoted through both state legislatures.

There was some minor trouble here, so the new chairman called me to complain.

We must not discourage those who are willing to contribute to America, Mr. Javier."

Let the governor of the most powerful state in the United States act as a broker to bribe the former big boss of the U.S. House of Representatives and the current Attorney General of California.

politician?

Do not!
Dog of capital!

Looking at Niu Sen who looked like "it's just a small matter", Javier suppressed his shock and thought quickly.

Sure enough, the governor was no fool. He had interests involved, and they were not small interests, otherwise Nancy would never have deposed the crown prince.

By deposing the crown prince, it seemed that Niu Sen was the one being deposed, but Nancy would also face the invisible and huge loss of political influence.

Moreover, Javier realized one thing - Niu Sen was very dissatisfied with Garcetti.

Yes, Niu Sen is close to the California Elephant Party, but Garcetti cannot sit idly by and watch the California Elephant Party rise in San Lorenzo.

"Give Corrections Corporation of America a little lesson, Mr. Governor. I don't understand."

Javier spoke almost word by word.

The Attorney General doesn't want to leave at all.

Javier calculated the expected benefits, potential costs, risk factors, everything in and out.

Niu Sen raised his eyebrows and sighed deeply.

The deposed prince!
Can't understand?
No, I just don't want to listen!

In the past, it was just a matter of a word, but now, the other party doesn’t even bother to pretend.

This is the deposed prince!
For some reason, Niu Sen thought of what his aunt said.

'No one can protect you from the wind and rain except me!'

Clear your mind of unnecessary thoughts, the state shepherd said.

"I can push it myself and teach Corrections Corporation of America a lesson. Do you know why I came to you?"

The question was impolite, and Javier did not answer immediately.

The two men exchanged glances, and finally, the Attorney General lowered his head and looked away.

Those who are happy must give up principles. The Attorney General is afraid that the frustrated Niu Sen will explode and splatter blood all over himself!

"why?"

Javier naturally knew that as the governor of a state, Niu Sen still had a lot of power in his hands, and he could indeed achieve his goals on his own.

Wolfe wanted to play his marriage card with Cheng Zong, but Cheng Zong refused because with Wolfe in the organization, his personal advantages would naturally spread to the organization.

At that time, Wolfe was depressed and helpless.

But at this moment, Niu Sen's situation was completely opposite to Wolf's.

Nancy's dislike for him affected his future destiny, but because he was the governor, his status as governor ensured that he still had enough power to do something not too outrageous.

After being deposed as crown prince, the California Gang's organizational system and the power granted to him by the federal constitution gave Niu Sen the bargaining chips to continue his operations.

"Javier, everything has a price. I don't want to lose, and I don't want to quit. Tell me your price."

Niu Sen said listlessly.

Spend money to buy the way. Spend a mountain of gold to buy the way.

Mr. Cheng pays the bill!
"That's not the rule of the game, Niu Sen, you understand." Javier could also be very impolite.

He thought Niu Sen was too confused!
who do you think You Are?

Who do you think I am?
"Do you want to see my determination?" Mr. Zhou Mu asked with a smile.

“This has nothing to do with determination, I know the situation of the California Elephant Party very well.

Crusoe, the rich man.

Wolf Dracula, the rich man.

They already enjoy a great economic status and have no reason to demand any extraordinary political status.

Your closeness to these people is a betrayal in itself, a betrayal of your identity!"

Havel is an old-school politician whose ideas represent the thoughts of the vast majority of America's ruling elites.

The power of a country needs to be balanced. Capitalists can buy influence, but they can only buy it.

If money and power are completely controlled by capitalists, wouldn’t that be a return to slavery?
"Times have changed, Javier. Two hundred years ago, we didn't have the monopoly giants we have today. Besides, Rockefeller was already the deputy president, and the current president is a real estate developer. Come to think of it, Crusoe is also a real estate developer."

It is difficult for people to think about problems independently of their own interests, and it is even more difficult to act independently of their own interests.

Niu Sen and Mr. Cheng have an inseparable fate, so he must oppose Javier's accusations.

"He's the exception, and no one likes him, except those sabi rednecks!"

Niu Sen smiled.

“You think that’s an exception?
My idea is just the opposite. The control of wealth by the rich has developed slowly to where it is today. Compared to a hundred years ago, the rich today have greater influence.

Technology has advanced, everything has changed, and you can't hold on to old ideas and try to pretend that nothing has changed, Javier."

The erosion of political power by economic power is an inevitable process that no one can stop.

When the federal government requires large companies to pay taxes, the voice of large business owners will increase, and they will naturally gradually enjoy power that matches their wealth.

When politicians need enough campaign funds to win, the financial backers behind the scenes will also have more room to manipulate.

As capitalist production relations fall into an irreversible dilemma, what follows is the concentration of big capital and its increasing erosion of political power.

The emergence of the revolving door between politics and business is the best example.

If Mr. Cheng is willing to bear the price, then he has the right to force the sale.

If Javier can't find a sucker willing to pay the price for him, then he actually has no choice.

"Everything is changing, but you choose to give up your bottom line and lick those people's asses. This is inappropriate, Niu Sen, you are a donkey party member!"

Javier actually knew that some things were changing.

The super-rich are increasingly directly involved in the game of political power, from Bloomberg in New York, to the current president, to Crusoe, to Wolff.

He was helpless about this. Those people's greed was endless, and there were countless politicians like Niu Sen who could easily fall to their knees.

The Attorney General even had an indescribable feeling - the country was gradually falling into some kind of predicament.

"Ten million dollars, help me deal with the Corrections Corporation of America. I don't like their boss!"

Positions are never constant, and the so-called loyalty almost disappeared when Nancy gave up Will.

Niu Sen chooses and quotes directly.

"Why don't I go to Corrections Corporation of America? They can give more." Javier sneered.

Mr. Attorney General does not approve of Mr. Cheng's style of ignoring the rules and constantly using cruel means to attack his opponents!

When order collapses, there will always be people who choose to persist!

Havel's choice is far from being rigid. He demonstrates the integrity of a mature politician, the integrity of an American who does not want to see the collapse of the American order.

“We can fix Corrections Corporation of America, but we can’t fix New Time.”

Niu Sen's tone was somewhat sad.

If he could take action against Xinshi or Mr. Cheng, he would have turned the table over long ago.

"You don't really think I will agree to your request?" Javier still didn't understand the situation he was facing.

"Look, you can't be in a position of power and not be willing to take responsibility, and you know that better than I do.

Do me a small favor, or make an enemy of me and the California Elephant Party.

Pick one.”

Apply pressure, apply pressure, apply extreme pressure, apply pressure when the overall situation collapses and when you are in headwind.

Why does the strategy of extreme pressure always work for President Cheng?
Because American politicians are so cowardly!

Under the mechanism of selecting puppets, everyone who can come to the top is a puppet!
It’s just that the cost of manipulating people like Nancy and Niu Sen is even greater!
The bullshit principles that Havel adhered to are as fragile as bubbles under the constraints of real interests.

"I will do it, but I also think that Nancy's choice is not wrong. Niu Sen, you are far from being a leader!"

Mr. Attorney General is totally out of his element—he just looks down on you.

You are a governor of the donkey party, and you go to lick the people of the elephant party. What does this mean?
Bitch!

Javier has to make money and make harsh words, and he has to do both.

“My aunt once told me that when she first stepped onto Capitol Hill, the old men glanced at her without hesitation.

That was how Capitol Hill was in that era, but that didn't stop her from becoming a leader on Capitol Hill.

There are not many things in this world that are taken for granted, and one of them is not the one that says someone will definitely be a leader! "

Javier curled his lips in disdain, stood up and prepared to leave.

“Those people wanted to turn you and me into puppets. I wanted to persist, but you knelt down, and many people like you knelt down.

As a result, I had to lose my principles. Niu Sen, do you think you beat me?
No, you lost our most precious thing - our independence!"

The most bullshit thing in the world is that bad money drives out good money, but this thing is often still widespread and universally applicable.

Javier wants to be good money, but he wants to stay on the stage more, so he can only kneel down under the influence of bad money like Niu Sen.

Personally, this experience is actually quite disgusting.

"I lost my independence? Javier, think about it, when did the American congressmen and politicians start to lose their independence?

It's the wheelchair guy! It's his new policy that made us like this!
When the government interferes with the economy, it will inevitably be affected in the opposite direction by the economy. This is not my problem!
In the 1960s, capitalists began to directly buy congressmen to serve as their eyes and ears on Capitol Hill.

In the 1970s, someone from the Rockefeller family entered the game as deputy commander in chief, trying to gain more advantages.

In the 1980s, the revolving door between politics and business started, and it has continued to this day.

The problem is not with me!

I'm not the first to compromise, and I won't be the last.

At least you compromised, didn't you? "

Javier slammed the door without responding to Niu Sen's ridicule.

In the governor's office, Niu Sen sat alone behind the desk.

He raised his hands to cover his face, hoping to get some temporary rest. (End of this chapter)
