A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 346 The Best Tool
"Haha, you are young, right? Don't worry, you will grow old."

Hosea stared at Arthur with a smile as he spoke, which made Arthur unwilling. He said:

"Hosea, am I talking about Ryan and that Capo? Why do I feel like you are talking about me in secret?"

Unfortunately, Hosea did not admit it at all. He just continued:

"In short, young people have their advantages. The situation in the underground world of Saint-Denis needs young people, especially now that Bronte has become history, so I took Capo in."

Arthur had no objection to this. To a certain extent, Hosea's actions coincided with his thoughts.

After Arthur thought about the advantages and disadvantages of keeping Kabo, he asked:
"Then how are you going to deal with Lambert? After all, he is the chief of the police department no matter what, and those police officers won't be willing."

Here is a very interesting knowledge point. When it comes to Lambert’s murder, the person who reacted most violently was not the mayor, nor the citizens, nor even Lambert’s family. This must be done here. The murderer was brought to justice by the police of Saint-Denis.

It's not that Lambert is much loved. This guy's behavior of taking cards is not limited to external affairs. Internal promotion bonuses and the like are also the same as Yan Guo's feather plucking.

Therefore, the main reason for the fierce reaction is that these police officers earn a small salary with their heads in their waistbands every day. What they care about is not the law or anything else, but only about the matter of 'killing police officers'. Consequences must be emphasized and recognized.

If it were possible to kill a police chief today without the strongest possible retaliation and punishment, then the police would lose deterrence to all lawbreakers.

To a certain extent, the identity of a police officer will also lose its protective role.

Only if everyone knows that 'killing a cop' is unacceptable and if someone does it, no matter what the reason, they will be retaliated against by the entire police department.

That's what Deputy Lambert, now St. Denis Police Deputy Chief Schmidt Rudy, said when he addressed all of his officers.

This is not work, this is personal vendetta.

Therefore, Hosea had already considered Arthur’s attitude towards the police station. He said:
"You know, now we can also make our voices heard through the LeMoyne State Journal. Lambert has a lot of stains. To package him as a corrupt and dirty cop, I think it will make the police department Think carefully about whether you want to pursue it further?"

This is a tough approach, but it is not good. Arthur shook his head, and then put forward his idea:

"Of course your approach is feasible, but I don't think it's necessary, at least not yet in this matter. I'd rather spend a sum of money to sponsor the police station's club called Blue. ?Yes, it is the police club with this name. Give them a generous amount of activity funds, and then let the police officers sweep everyone's territory for a period of time, and promise that they can take away all the seized proceeds. As for the murderer, it is recommended Just come out and explain it to the outside world."

After listening to Arthur's thoughts, Hosea keenly saw that Arthur seemed to not only want to guarantee Cabo, but also wanted to knock down these guys in the underground world of Saint Denis.Now that he thought of this possibility, Hosea asked the question directly.

And Arthur did not deny it, nodded and admitted:

"Indeed, in this matter, in addition to keeping Cabo, I have two considerations. On the one hand, during my absence, whether it is Zheng Shixiong or Ryan's group of Mexicans, I have done everything possible. Not satisfied. Obviously, they were so smooth before that they were a little inflated. So some necessary beatings are still meaningful. On the other hand, the police station must also be respected. Hosea, we cannot be reduced to personally When it comes to fighting with these guys, the St. Denis Police Department is our best tool to control them."

"How to say?"

"You think, expansion and chaos can be said to be the natural qualities of these gang members. Haven't I given Ryan enough? But look at whether he still wants more, and look at Zheng Zhixiong, is he mature enough? ? But when the opportunity for expansion is presented to him, he will not refuse it. No matter how we coordinate, they will naturally have conflicts. Even if there is only one organization left in Saint Denis in the end, they will still fight internally, then split, and finally reunite In the firefight, in addition to supporting an obedient gang, we also need to put them in a cage. Two dogs cannot fight. We go to pull them out, and then they are affected, so we can bite them again."

Arthur's thinking is very clear. Instead of controlling the gang, it is better to control the police station and let them all make trouble within the rules. In this way, no matter who dies or rises up, they will not be a threat to Arthur and the others.

Hosea didn't spend too much time thinking about the feasibility of this method. He nodded and said:
"I don't see anything wrong with your plan. If you want to, then do it. After all, now that you are back, it's time for me to go back and take care of myself."

"? Come on, who was the one who claimed that he was not old yet and could still do things, but then didn't want to take care of himself?"

Hearing Arthur mention what he said when he was recuperating, Hosea graciously admitted that these words were all said by him, and said with a smile:

"No, you still have to serve your old age. Just thinking about these things every day is annoying enough. Have you forgotten that in addition to these annoying things, you also need to make decisions about the industries you have abandoned? Anyway, I No, my hair has been falling out a lot recently, and I don’t want to wait until I go to see Bessie and she finds out that all my hair has fallen out.”

"Hahahaha. Believe me, when Bessie sees you, she will only sigh that you, an old guy, are still so handsome despite your age."

Hosea did not follow Arthur's lead and said resolutely:
"It's useless for you to praise me. It's already very late now. If you don't have anything else to ask me, then I'm going to go back to sleep. Also, don't wake me up tomorrow. I'm going to sleep until I wake up naturally."

"Wait a minute, wait a minute." After stopping Hosea, who was about to go back to the house to sleep, Arthur quickly asked the last thing:

"John and the others are still in jail. Have you gone to find out? How are they doing?"

Speaking of this, Hosea stopped. Originally, he had wanted to talk to Arthur about this matter before, but it got sidetracked when they talked about Dutch. In the end, he almost forgot about it. All he can say is, after all, I am still old and my memory is not as good as when I was young.

"I asked someone to ask, and if nothing unexpected happens, they will go through a simple and quick procedure, and then be hanged at the place where Odrisk died."
