Shadow Empire

Chapter 861 Arrangements and Hunters [666+20]
This was the first time that the name of the Lance family was mentioned by Senator Cleveland in such a solemn occasion, but no one found it funny or felt that the Lance family should not be mentioned.

The gangs are becoming politicized. This is what the country is currently experiencing. Behind the five major federal families is the shadow of Congress, because for the big guys, the gangs are too useful as a "trash can"!
Between the assassination of the president by an old soldier and the assassination of the president by a gangster, the impact on society would be relatively less devastating, and the assassination of the president by a gangster would definitely be less devastating.

After all, gangsters are all bad, and bad guys do bad things, that's common sense.

"Lance White, I know this guy."

The president nodded. He did know Lance. "But can he do what you said?"

Senator Cleveland expressed his opinion, "I have worked with Lance many times. He is a very smart young man and he is very mature."

"He has a maturity and rationality that his peers don't have. He knows how to do things in the most beautiful way, and he is also a decisive person."

"Anyway, this is just an attempt, so you can consider giving him a try."

He paused for a moment and said, "Lance has a good relationship with the ambassador of Lapa, and the ambassador is willing to cooperate with our work. We can let them give it a try. Maybe there will be unexpected results."

After thinking for a while, the others agreed. The President then asked where Lapa was. Only after he figured out where Lapa was did he agree.

After all, the president does not need to know geography, and you cannot become president even if you have good grades in geography.

Even if this matter ends here, there are some other discussions afterwards. "During this period, the federal financial system has been discussing that they intend to actively promote the federal interest rate hike, and it is an unprecedented large interest rate hike!"

All the gentlemen in the room began to focus again, and this was also a very important topic of discussion.

The federal government and some large conglomerates are in frequent and active contact. It is impossible to do this relying solely on the federal government. It must rely on the power of the federal consortium. They intend to use this war to reap the wealth of the entire world!

Later in the evening, Senator Cleveland called Lance.

"Now for the conversation?" asked Senator Cleveland, lighting a cigarette.

He was wearing glasses and squinting slightly, looking down at some documents on the desk.

Holding a cigarette in one hand and a receiver in the other, this is his most common state during this period. Several things are concentrated at the same time, and he really does not have enough time to separate and do each of them.

This sentence means to ask Lance if it is possible to talk about some sensitive topics and to avoid having too many people around him.

Senator Cleveland has seen people who have very good ears and can hear even the smallest sounds.

There are also lip-reading experts who can stand far away with a telescope and replicate what the target says.

Lance gestured for everyone in the room to leave before saying, "You can do it now."

"You have a week, take care of this matter yourself."

Lance hummed, and at the same time he asked his question carefully, "I noticed that there seems to be no changes at the base."

"Don't worry about him. Just pretend you don't know. Don't tell anyone else. This matter is top secret. Do you understand?"

Knowing that the Dantra people were going to attack, but not taking any action, this would be an absolute scandal if exposed at any time and at any period!

All those who know about this will be brought to trial, and some of those involved may even be executed in secret!
Lance knew the seriousness of the matter and naturally would not say anything nonsense, but he also understood what Senator Cleveland meant and let Admiral Miles be beaten.

The struggle for power between the Navy and the Army has completely angered the Army, so they need to teach the Navy a lesson and let them know who is the real "military" of the Federation!
"You must have called for something else besides this." After a while of silence in the receiver, Lance took the initiative to speak again.

Senator Cleveland was actually a little distracted just now, but Lance's voice brought him back to his senses, "Ah... yes, that's right."

"There's something I need you to do."

"Please say!"

Senator Cleveland brought the ashtray to hand and flicked the ash into it. "You have a good relationship with that Lapa ambassador, right?"

Lance chuckled twice, "From what we can see so far, it's really good."

More than good?
Lance gave Ambassador Cassia the opportunity to accept bribes blatantly. He provided a house for the Lapa Embassy for free, and then Mr. Cassia rented out part of it. Of course, this was an internal statement and he said nothing to the outside world.

Now some people in Xinjin City know that there is a bar in the Lapa Embassy where you can drink as much as you want without breaking the law because it is allowed by law.

Not to mention opening a bar and selling alcohol, even if some of them killed someone, they could avoid legal proceedings by hiding in the embassy.

Ambassador Cassia not only gets a rent every month, but also a dividend, which adds up to 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, which allows his family to live a decent life in the Federation. He is a diplomat and ambassador, and now he has money, so his family's life has become completely different.

If they didn't take the initiative to say that they were from the poor place of Yalanlapa, you would no longer see that kind of poverty and backwardness in them.

Mr. Cleveland seemed to understand something from Lance's laughter, and he smiled more. "This matter requires the cooperation of you and your friends. We will use Lapa as a pilot. You need to disintegrate their resistance. Do you know what I mean?"

Of course Lance knew that this was what he wanted most after pushing forward this plan - control!

Why was he so sure that this incident would happen to him rather than to some... resistance organization?
In fact, the reason is very simple. If the Federation wants to successfully turn Asia into a federal territory, it must deal with the rulers of this land.

They can bribe these rulers or just kill them.

It is inappropriate to kill them directly, as it will only create hatred between the two sides and make ruling difficult.

But bribery is not an option, as federal politicians are concerned that these indigenous rulers still have full control over Yalan.

The few states in the federation that don't listen to the federal government are annoying enough. If there are more, it will definitely give Congress a headache.

Since we can't bribe them, and we can't kill them ourselves, is supporting some rebels a good option?

In fact, this is not a good choice either. The supported rebels will change from warriors into new dragons, and they will be young, strong and aggressive dragons.

These new regimes that came to power through violent coups and other means will be more difficult to deal with than the previous corrupt regimes. If you want to deal with them, you will definitely have to pay a greater price, and there is also the possibility that the relationship with the locals will continue to deteriorate to the freezing point, posing a greater obstacle to the federal rule of this region.

Therefore, the best way is to not give any chance for the local Yalan to rise, not to allow anyone the chance to become the new ruler, and to directly use unofficial forces like Lans to eliminate them.

Federal politicians, at least those of this period, were still very politically wise and capable. They fought against their own people, against financial groups, and kept their eyes on the whole world.

Greed, ambition, and power outline the ugly face of the federal ruling class!

But this is also an era full of opportunities for everyone. As long as you seize it, you will surely take off!

Lance did not answer immediately. Instead, he thought carefully for a while and gave a more cautious answer. "I already have a plan."

"You already have a plan?" Senator Cleveland's tone was full of distrust, but he immediately thought of something.

Lance worked so hard to push this plan, like promoting his ideas himself. Perhaps all of this was because of what he wanted to do.

However, Senator Cleveland did not think too much about this issue. He and Lance were still in the honeymoon period. The stronger Lance was, the more power he had available.

If one day Lance can become a giant like the five major families of the Federation, he will only be happy, not worried!
"As long as you have a plan, congressional hearings will begin in late June or early July, and our plan will be out by August at the latest. You still have about three to four months."

"You have to be prepared, this is definitely a rare opportunity for you."

"By the way, you did a great job dealing with the Federation of Labor!"

"Your performance has won great praise, which means you will have more opportunities in the future. Keep it up, and you will become a miracle!"

"If you run into any trouble, you can call Tom or me, and I'll solve whatever I can for you."

"Also, you have to be careful that they use some unconventional means. These people are not clean!"

The two of them exchanged a few brief words and then ended the call.

At a more precise time, Lance sighed softly, then shook his head.

At the same time, the "bounty hunters" invited by the Labor Federation have entered Jingang City.

These people did not look as strong as people imagined. They looked more like travelers, carrying large and small bags.

This team has a certain degree of fame among the bounty hunter community.

Their target this time is Carl. As long as they can take Carl away from here alive, they can get a reward of 100,000 yuan from the broker.

They don't care who the broker serves or who pays the 100,000 yuan. They only care about whether they can get the money.
