1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

Fortunately, last June, Hoover had offended some gangster and was killed in an alley along with his lover and junior classmate Clyde Tolson using a Chicago typewriter.

In addition, with the subsequent big news coming out one after another, few people cared about the BOI reorganization, and naturally no one opposed it.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Springfield quietly handed the job to Walsh. Today, it is time for it to bear fruit.

"...The BI's future core functions will focus on the following three areas:" "- Anti-corruption efforts - Breaking down local protections, empowering the FBI with nationwide investigative authority, establishing a federal-state-county mechanism for sharing and verifying corruption leads, establishing a system of informant protection and generous rewards, and encouraging internal reporting..."

"Key areas of focus include large-scale New Deal infrastructure projects (such as the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and the interstate highway network), military procurement, federal relief payment processes, judicial system corruption, and illegal political fundraising manipulation..."

"- Anti-monopoly crime work – Deepening economic security supervision and anti-monopoly law enforcement, moving beyond the traditional focus on simply breaking up trusts, and strengthening the crackdown on monopolistic behavior itself, including price manipulation, market access blockades, illegal mergers, and the use of monopoly power to interfere in political and legislative processes."

"The FBI is legally empowered to access core corporate financial data and monitor the commercial communications of suspected monopolists, with the primary target being large domestic chaebols and their affiliated core companies..."

"3. Anti-violent crime work - responsible for investigating drug crimes, organized crime, violent crimes, espionage, terrorist activities and other violations of federal felonies, and guiding and assisting local law enforcement agencies to improve their ability to combat violent crime..."

Haruta listened, flipping through the documents quickly and nodding slightly from time to time. Walsh had basically implemented her core requirements.

She has no intention of turning the FBI into the politicized secret police agency that historically monitored everything and was virtually impenetrable. Instead, she aims to establish a more transparent, criminal-focused, and less politically involved central law enforcement force as its core pillar.

Its ultimate goal is to achieve effective integration of criminal law enforcement powers at the federal level and the management, guidance and regulation of local police forces.

That’s right, the future integration target is the police departments in each state.

If the current situation continues, where federal investigators have to beg for mercy and cannot act without local cooperation, how can we call it "centralized power"?

"...According to your request, the deep integration of the NGW will be the institutional soul and oversight guarantee that distinguishes the new FBI from the old BOI. Therefore, we have established the 'Loyalty Review and Disciplinary Supervision Committee'..."

"Stop, stop, stop..."

Chuntian drew a line on the paper:

"There's no need for a loyalty check; it's too conspicuous."

"But, Ms. Field, we believe this is extremely necessary. The FBI will become your new weapon. If its members are not loyal enough..."

"No, no, no. What I mean is that there's no need to publicly publicize this. Substance over form is more important than supervision. The very existence of NGW is the most fundamental safeguard. There's no need to find excuses to attack us."

Chuntian stared at Walsh and said earnestly:

"You've also read some ancient Chinese texts at my suggestion. I'm sure you understand the principle that 'everything goes to extremes and then reverses.'"

“Oh…I see…You’re right…” “Well, go on.”

"A Disciplinary Oversight Committee (Doc) will be established at FBI headquarters. You will directly appoint an individual to chair the committee, with the rank of Assistant Director. Each FBI bureau will have a Bureau Oversight Representative, a local NGW cadre, with the rank of Deputy Director... The core responsibilities will be:"

"—Loyalty... Political review authority—Conduct in-depth background checks on all FBI employees before employment (including family connections, financial transactions, political views, etc.), and establish a dynamic review mechanism for political behavior and norms every six months..."

"Second, case supervision authority – The DOC has independent oversight authority over all FBI investigations involving high-ranking government officials (state legislators and above), members of Congress, federal judges, key figures in large-scale financial conglomerates, and illegal political groups, from case initiation to case closure..."

"Third, internal disciplinary authority – independently investigate suspected corruption, leaks of secrets, dereliction of duty, abuse of power, and other violations of discipline and law within the FBI, and report the findings and recommendations directly to the President..."

"Four.…."

Does it look familiar?

Yes, the Discipline Inspection Commission. Iced Americano.

"...In short, the DOC is the FBI's oversight system, ensuring that every cell in the FBI is absolutely loyal, and that every swing of the knife by the FBI accurately hits the enemies of the nation, rather than degenerating into a new bastion of privilege or an out-of-control beast;"

Walsh concluded:

"As I have always emphasized, the law shouldn't just serve as a game rule for the wealthy. It must be the sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of the powerful, the last shield and sharp blade for the people at the bottom to fight against injustice. Therefore, as the sword-wielder, the FBI itself must also be subject to the strictest oversight within the legal framework."

"...Very good, I support your ideas and concepts, let's do it!" "Thank you for your trust, Ms. Field."

"So, what about the selection of the Swordholder's cadres?"

"I have drawn up a preliminary list of candidates and their detailed files. They are in folder number 4. Please review them."

Chuntian opened the file and when the name came into view, he quickly compared the cloud map database and personnel records in his mind.

Theodore Roosevelt Jr., the director-general.

As the name suggests, this man is the eldest son of the late President Theodore Roosevelt, cousin of current Vice President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, former Assistant Secretary of the Navy, former New York State Assemblyman and New York State Police Commissioner, and currently holds no public office.

As for the reason...

"Choose this person?"

Chuntian smiled, clearly joking:

"What? You, an incorruptible champion of justice, also need to do a favor for Vice President Franklin?"

"You're joking."

Walsh laughed awkwardly:

"You are also aware of the delicate relationship between the Vice President and his cousin... When I was nominated, the Vice President made it clear... ahem..."

Well, indeed.

Earlier this year, Theodore Roosevelt Jr. ran for governor of New York but lost and was forced to retire from politics. The Roosevelt-O'Connor Securities Company he founded also went bankrupt, leaving him with a huge debt of $50.

Historically, he fiercely opposed his cousin Roosevelt's New Deal and even participated in the creation of the "Free America League" aimed at overthrowing his regime and served as the main fundraiser;

In response, his cousin "thoughtfully" sent him to Puerto Rico to be the governor. In the United States, this is considered "political exile." If no one in China helps him, he will never be able to return to politics.

By the way, Theodore Jr. lost his position as Commissioner of the New York Police Department, which was also due to his cousin.

However, in this historical arc, perhaps due to a private warning from Vice President Roosevelt, perhaps because of Springfield's prestige, or perhaps because core financial tycoons like DuPont and Morgan had already been stagnant, Theodore Jr. did not become involved in the actions of those traitors.

On the contrary, he also actively participated in NGW missionary work and veterans' rights protection activities, and with the help of Vice President Roosevelt, he gained a strong presence in the political arena.

Of course, the Vice President was still not very polite - he once again proposed to send my cousin to Puerto Rico to be the governor. After all, according to Ms. Field's strategy, the US colonies would be abolished, right?

Fortunately, Springfield disagreed, so Roosevelt's cousin was merely unemployed. Walsh cleared his throat, bypassing the family feud and emphasizing professional reasons: "I chose him primarily because he advocates for the advanced concept of 'scientific investigation.' I plan to have him lead the FBI for several years, focusing on improving its criminal science and technology, laying a solid foundation for the FBI's future development. I'll consider adjusting the selection after five years."

"Well..."

A technocrat becomes the director...that's fine too.

It's time to build an ID card system, a national fingerprint database, a crime laboratory, etc.

Otherwise, there will be significant obstacles in integrating with the commander's system in the future. Incidentally, a group of technical backbones can also be trained to standardize and guide the development of local police forces.

"Well, what about the other key candidates at the deputy director level?"

"I think this person is more suitable to be the first deputy director..."

Homer Cummings, a former prosecutor and former governor of Connecticut, is well versed in the operating logic and policy making of the U.S. judicial system. He is known for his standardized institutional management, strong crackdown on corruption, and curbing the prevalence of lynching.

Historically, after Walsh's "accidental death", Roosevelt urgently appointed him as Attorney General, which shows that his level, ability and status are still well-regarded.

Although he indulged both Hoover and the financial tycoons during his term in order to implement Roosevelt's will to ease relations with the financial tycoons, and was even marginalized by Hoover, his own abilities were still online, especially his talent in institutional construction was unquestionable;

He was deeply involved in the birth and institutional design of the FBI, and made key contributions to helping the new agency avoid various legal risks and ensure its foothold and development in a complex political environment.

By the way, it was Cummings who accepted General Butler’s shocking report on the “businessman coup” and helped escalate it into a major federal case.

"...He is a steady and mature person. As First Deputy Director, he can effectively coordinate and appease the impatient Director Theodore Jr., assist in handling complex relationships with other federal departments, and deeply understand and effectively connect the operations of various FBI branches, coordinating internal relationships and resources."

"Okay, I trust your judgment."

"Thank you... and to the Second Deputy Director, who is in charge of field operations..."

When it came to this key position, Walsh hesitated for a moment on a stack of files, and finally selected one and passed it on:

"I think he's the best fit." "Melvin Purvis..."

The former ace agent and branch chief of the Chicago station of the Bolton Lawrence, known for his courage, tough style, fearlessness of danger, and high efficiency. He is familiar with criminal investigation practices and is very young, only 30 years old this year.

The only problem is...

"...He was a close confidant of Hoover's and was highly regarded during the Hoover era. I've asked some people and they say Hoover originally intended to make him a 'national star agent' to shape the FBI's heroic image in the public's mind."

Walsh cautiously explained:

"But considering the FBI was entirely restructured from the BOI, this person has extremely high prestige and followers among grassroots agents. Appointing him as Deputy Director of Operations will maximize morale and quickly consolidate operational forces... Of course, if you have other considerations, there are also alternative candidates..."

"Wait, isn't this appropriate? What's wrong with that?"

"Um... I thought... you had some negative opinions about Director Hoover..." "Where did this rumor come from?"

Watching Walsh hesitating, Springfield looked puzzled. It was completely impossible to tell that she was the mastermind behind the alchemist's killing of Hoover.

"I don't know Hoover well, so why should I hate him?"

“Ah, yes, yes…”

Walsh wiped the sweat from his forehead and carefully told Springfield the "rumors" circulating within the BOI.

Apart from the idle speculation that "he hated President Hoover so he took his anger out on Director Hoover", the key point is that Hoover's death was too bizarre - the only witness at the scene kept claiming that Hoover was beaten to death by "a floating Thompson";

At first, everyone thought the homeless man was crazy, but after witnessing the "miracle" in Springfield, someone suddenly came up with an outrageous "rumor":

Ms. Field hated Hoover so much that she instructed God to kill him!

I don't know whether outsiders believed it or not, but this rumor had already spread quietly within the BOI. In addition, after Springfield came to power, he focused on supporting NGW and seemed to lack attention to the BOI, which led to panic within the BOI, especially among Hoover's old subordinates.

"...Just because of this?"

Haruta waved his hands, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Okay, let's go with this guy. I think he's a good fit. Call him over and I'll talk to him in person."

"Yes!"

Soon, a young man with a stubbled face and a tired and depressed look was brought into the director's office, which he was once very familiar with but now dared not approach for many days.

"...Mr. Walsh, looking for me...Ms. Field!!"

When Purvis saw Haruta sitting there, his face suddenly changed and he stood straight as a javelin.

Chuntian turned his head to look at Walsh, with a slightly teasing tone:

"Mr. Walsh, is this the person you recommended? He seems to need... well, some serious experience."

"Uh..."

Walsh glared at Purvis, a look of dismay on his face. Purvis shuddered, as if realizing something, and shouted:

"Please give the order, Ms. Field!" "Haha, quick reaction, smart enough." Chuntian patted the "young man" on the shoulder:

"I know there are some disturbing rumors among you, but I want to tell you that in my position, as long as you have strong character and ideals and beliefs that are in line with the national development blueprint, I will make important contributions. I don't care about your ethnicity, skin color, gender, faction, or anything else. Do you understand?"

"...yes!"

Melvin Purvis was moved to tears.

Although he did not know that he was about to be appointed, Springfield's words alone undoubtedly gave a strong reassurance to all former BOI members, especially those who were labeled as "Hoover's old subordinates."

"Very good, about your appointment..."

Chuntian then briefly informed him of the relevant matters of the appointment.

A technical manager who carries his father's reputation, is eager to prove himself but still needs the support of the organization;

A realist bureaucrat who is well versed in legal policy construction and institutional constraints;

—A "law enforcement hero" with a relatively simple background, high efficiency and grassroots prestige;

Work together.

"Well, since the Attorney General is here, I'll give you my orders directly. After the FBI is established, there are three tough battles to fight!"

Haruta raised three fingers:

"First, of course, it's the FBI's internal restructuring. Deputy Director Cummings will be in charge of this. Walsh, please help keep an eye on it. I need the FBI to efficiently complete the reorganization as quickly as possible and quickly establish a strong combat capability that covers the federal government and coordinates with local authorities."

"Yes! Please rest assured!"

"2. The Rockefeller Foundation's systematic crimes in the Tennessee River and other watershed reconstruction projects! This was the benchmark of the New Deal, and they dared to bribe, rig bids, and pass off inferior products as good ones!"

"Let Director Theodore Jr. personally lead the task force, and the DOC inspection team will simultaneously oversee the entire process. Within three months, I want to see a mountain of irrefutable evidence! Completely sever Rockefeller's dirty hand from reaching into national projects!"

Walsh and Purvis looked incredulous.

Putting aside how Ms. Field knew about this, is Rockefeller... so brave?

Didn’t they learn their lesson from the $10 billion fine they were fined for in the last “Fed Gold Heist”?

You'd be happy only if you were uprooted like those Jewish families of Morgan Meier, right?

Oh, that’s right, maybe it’s because the loss is too great, so we have to make up for it elsewhere.

He was given a chance to atone for his sins, but he still refused to repent. Coupled with his involvement in the "coup d'état", it seems that his career is completely over.
