Chapter [-] Influence and Intervention

Leaving the Oval Office, Stanley was full of worries.The superficial ease can only be said that he is suitable for messing around in this hypocritical political arena.As a leader of the underground world, Stanley vomited all over the ground because he wasn't cruel enough. If it wasn't for Zhou Dongfei's enlightenment, it might have left a shadow.And since he stepped into the political arena, he found that this place seems to be more suitable for him-he likes it with more means; but he doesn't need to fight openly with a knife, and he doesn't need blood on his hands to kill, he also likes it.

In the car, Stanley had been thinking about the reasons for Strauss' change of attitude.Is it really just to maintain the image of the United States?Something seems wrong.If so, Strauss should have thought of it long ago.As a seasoned statesman, Strauss would not have taken the presidency to think of that.

Stanley felt that there were two reasons for Strauss' attitude change:

First, maybe before the election, in order to stabilize myself, I made myself determined to work hard.Now that the election is successful, it is no longer so enthusiastic.The world has always been so hot and cold in the political arena, and there is no need to make a fuss about it, as long as you pay attention to it.

The second is that Strauss made such a decision and was influenced and intervened by some external force!If this is the case, the problem may be serious.Strauss is the new president who just took office. He was supposed to be high-spirited, but he was intervened as soon as he entered the White House?How strong and powerful should the opponent be?

Stanley couldn't think of any force that could interfere with the President of the United States in this way.However, Strauss' "official reward" seems to have a strong atmosphere of conspiracy, as if it was done to appease Stanley and prevent him from making radical actions.The more I think about it, the more likely the second guess is.

Stanley was also smart enough to realize something was wrong right then.So he took over the party's election affairs, which can be regarded as a position with a lot of say.However, he immediately resigned as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.Because he knows that if he holds such a position, I am afraid that Strauss will let Stanley personally preside over the case of the former president, let Stanley personally promote the amnesty of the former president, and then Strauss himself will issue the amnesty. .At that time, Strauss can also get rid of the relationship, saying that he has received applications from many members of the Senate.

In addition, Stanley was originally the main force behind the downfall of the former president. It would be more convincing if he applied for amnesty for the former president.In the political arena, there are too many things that turn black and white over and over again, and we are used to it.Of course, if there is a rebound in public opinion, it is Stanley who will bear the pressure.

Therefore, Stanley made such a decision: only keep the party position, and never accept the position of chairman of the Judiciary Committee.

When refusing to accept such a position, Stanley still maintained great patience and maintained the previous allies and cooperation in front of Strauss.

It is precisely because of this that Strauss secretly evaluated him as a qualified politician.Seeing humiliation, everyone draws his sword and fights, this is not bravery.What's more, Stanley was not humiliated.If you get angry because something doesn't go your way, that's not the quality that a mature politician should have.

……

After returning, Stanley immediately got in touch with Zhou Dongfei.Now his identity is different, and he has received too much attention from the secular world, so his connection with Zhou Dongfei is more secretive.This is a specially set phone number, which was transferred by Longying's secret agency in the United States in a special way to get in touch with Zhou Dongfei.

"Brother, something seems to be wrong." Stanley briefly described the process, and then said with some seriousness, "Could it be that someone secretly used powerful energy to force President Strauss to change his mind? If so If this is the case, then the strength of the opponent is too shocking!"

Zhou Dongfei also felt a little surprised, but the degree of surprise was far less than that of Stanley.Because Zhou Dongfei knew more, he also had a little subconscious preparation mentally.At least, he knew that the secrets held by Haines were far more than what was revealed.And those that have been exposed can overthrow a president, so what about those that have not been exposed?

Zhou Dongfei smiled: "When things get to this point, we can't reverse them for the time being. Even if you strongly resist, you can't change the fact that a president issued an amnesty order. Amnesty is the amnesty, anyway, even if the former president accepted the amnesty , and can no longer interfere in politics. If there is a chance in the future, we will find a way. On the contrary, if you break up with Strauss now, it will be very bad for your situation. After all, you are still in the underground world Da Xiao, there is no way to change this. Even if you throw away the entire underground empire, even after 30 or 50 years, this former identity will have a lot of influence on you. Unless you are in a position like Strauss , Maybe we can change everything completely. So, take a step back for now, brother."

Zhou Dongfei can take it easy, and Stanley is even more so.Stanley said with a smile: "No problem. My identity in the underground world is actually not a big threat. As long as I obey Strauss and Nero, they will not do anything to me. At most they know me and Nero. You are friends, but there are too many friends in the world, and there are many capricious things. As long as I don't fight against them, they will not attack me now."

There are no permanent enemies or friends in politics, only permanent interests.This point is more thoroughly reflected in the Western world.For example, if Strauss really compromised with a certain terrifying force for profit, wouldn't it be an external manifestation of this phenomenon?

Therefore, as long as Stanley does not fight with Strauss, as long as he pays attention to keeping his contact with Zhou Dongfei absolutely concealed, making people mistakenly believe that he and Zhou Dongfei are gradually estranged, this is enough.Under this premise, even Strauss and Nero would not plan to deal with a senator with great reputation, and this senator is also the leader of the underground world with many desperadoes.

Another important aspect is the advance arrangement between Zhou Dongfei and Stanley.Now "Godfather" Hagen has moved to live in Haiyang, this is Stanley's life-saving trump card!Even if others dare to hack Stanley, Godfather Hagen can launch a full blow from the entire American underground world.No one doubted that Godfather Hagen had the ability to remotely control the underground world.In fact, even the current Stanley still has less influence in the underground world than his old-fashioned father.

This point is similar to the relationship between Sister Mei and Zhou Dongfei.Whoever provokes one of them will suffer the other's all-out, frenzied counterattack regardless of the cost.

Godfather Hagen can't overthrow a political party, but who dares to say that he can't send out an endless stream of killer assassins?Be it Strauss or Nero, these old men will retire sooner or later.The high-intensity protection of the state violence machine is not permanent, and even if it is permanent, it is impossible to effectively guard against the endless prying eyes of a group of killers day and night.Therefore, as long as it is not a blood feud that cannot be uncovered, everyone will leave a way out for themselves.

Therefore, Stanley's safety is not a big problem.

"There is one more thing." Stanley continued, "Review the matter of Director Haines, and Strauss agreed. However, after the procedure starts, Director Haines needs to come forward in person and cooperate with the investigation. In this matter, you What do you think?"

Zhou Dongfei thought for a while and said, "No way! Since our guess is that Strauss has been disturbed by external forces, it means that the other party is very powerful. Once Director Haynes returns to the United States, even if Strauss does not act Well, that mighty force might also be ruthless. How many people have died because of the Kennedy case? It’s too many to count! This time, Chief Haynes must not be allowed to take the risk. Let him bear it first, and wait. Let’s talk about it when the time is right. If it really can’t be cleared, at worst, I will spend the rest of my life incognito. In a word, it’s okay to push for a retrial of his case, but if I kill him, I can’t find him. Even if I go all out, I can’t clear the case. , and never let him return to China, unless the political ecology of the United States has really undergone a fundamental change, making us think it is completely safe."

Stanley smiled: "No problem, I know it well. In fact, I really don't know where Director Haines is now. How can my dignified U.S. senator have contact with a person who is a traitor? Hahaha!"

This slippery head!Zhou Dongfei secretly laughed in his heart.

……

After ending contact with Stanley, Zhou Dongfei also thought deeply about this matter.He felt that there must be an invisible force behind the American political arena, otherwise Haines would not have been so discouraged at the beginning—to make such a tough man who sees death feel powerless, how tough the opponent needs to be.

However, this matter is definitely related to the major interests of the United States, so Haines chose not to mention it.Zhou Dongfei will not force him to speak, because a man must be trustworthy.But now it seems that a good guide is needed.If Haines was really willing to speak out, Zhou Dongfei would be "willing" to listen.

And now, the only one who can really influence Haines is Ingrid, the lovely girl, right?This is Haines' biological daughter, and also Haines' biggest concern.

"Little bastard!" Zhou Dongfei called Han Fu, "Go out for dinner tonight."

"Poke, old guy, you have found your conscience, uh, you know that you are considerate of my excellent disciple!" Han Fu suddenly changed the subject, "No, you old guy doesn't have any conspiracy, right? Hmm, the atmosphere of conspiracy is so strong, Let me smell it again..."

Zhou Dongfei said harshly: "Fuck off! At six o'clock in the evening, make an appointment with that girl Ingrid, and the three of us will go have a barbecue."

The little bastard on the other side of the phone almost jumped up: "Fuck, you shameless old man, you even want to dig the corner of the disciple's wall! You wait, I will tell my wife to go! No, I will tell all my wives!"

"Little bastard, I'll kill you if you keep messing around!" Zhou Dongfei said with black lines all over his face.
