I was acting crazy in North America, and all the crazy people there took it seriously.

Chapter 135 Saving the Foolish but Loyal Children (Bonus Chapter for 1600 Monthly Tickets)

This bizarre "attack under the public's watchful eye" in Chicago ended with the command center and the small team left at the airport escaping, while the remaining group was counter-attacked by the Chicago Mafia.

There was no fierce gunfight, only a one-sided, almost comical encirclement and disarmament.

The next day, Al Capone dressed in a custom-made suit and, surrounded by his legal team, issued a solemn statement, looking every bit the victimized entrepreneur.

"The Bureau of Investigation acted recklessly and arbitrarily, completely disregarding legal procedures and seriously threatening the personal safety of citizens! Last night, my business partners and I were holding a seminar on the standardized development of the industry when we were suddenly violently broken into by armed men!"

He made a special emphasis on terms like "business partners" and "industry standards," as if the Mafia Summit were some kind of legitimate business meeting.

"Our vibrant social organizations are holding meetings to reduce conflict and promote unity and common prosperity. I don't understand why the Bureau of Investigation wants to disrupt this unity and harmony. Do they want to see bloodshed in the streets?"

Then a group of lawyers, representing other dynamic social organizations, filed serious charges against the Bureau of Investigation!

The Chicago government, which was heavily criticized in the "live-streamed raid," stated that the allegations made by active community groups against the Bureau of Investigation (BCI) are valid and demanded an explanation from the BCI.

Of course, the arrested agents were first thrown into prison.

The newly built Fox River luxury prison welcomed its first batch of officially certified "guests".

But not a single media outlet in the United States expressed sympathy for this.

On the contrary, newspapers, like sharks smelling blood, launched a tsunami of relentless ridicule and sarcasm against the Bureau of Investigation!
Chicago-based media outlets delivered a scathing satire with a distinctly local flavor: "Everyone says that Chicago maintains order through gangs, but today we can finally say something fair. If not gangs, are we supposed to rely on these 'elites' sent from Washington?"

New York media outlets wholeheartedly agree, saying, "Some people laugh at us, saying that New York is relying on gangs to wage a war of attrition to determine future order. We're wronged! We'd like federal law enforcement to fight the gangs and make New York a more law-abiding city!"

"But as everyone has seen now, if federal law enforcement agencies get involved, it will only perfectly demonstrate what 'professional suicide missions' truly mean!"

"Federal law enforcement agencies should thank us for not making them look as badly humiliated in front of the American people as the Bureau of Investigation did!"

The Washington Post, taking a direct stance from taxpayers' perspective, raised a sharp question: "Is this the kind of useless bunch we pay our hard-earned taxes to support? They spend huge sums planning operations, only to end up throwing themselves into gang jails instead of fighting crime. What can they possibly do for this country besides making the federal government look bad?"

Voice of Freedom sheepishly remarked that they could still bring countless joys to the country.

Voice of Liberty sincerely apologized to the Investigation Bureau, stating that they were deeply disturbed by broadcasting your "performance" without permission last night and are willing to pay you "copyright fees"!
Then Voice of Liberty earnestly advised, "Perhaps the higher-ups at the Bureau should seriously consider a transformation of the agency. Given their amazing talent for creating comedic effect, shifting to radio drama production might better serve society..."

Voice of Liberty also thoughtfully conducted a public opinion poll, which showed that 90% of listeners felt that "the Investigation Bureau's transformation into theatrical performance" had great potential!
Faced with this overwhelming wave of public opinion, the headquarters of the Bureau of Investigation remained closed, responding to any media inquiries with "no comment."

They neither publicly acknowledged the complete failure of the operation nor showed any intention or plan to rescue the prisoners.

In short—play dead!
Edgar Hoover must be furious!

It's one thing for a meticulously planned "sneak attack" to turn into a farce, but at this point, all they're thinking about is how to protect themselves and how to distance themselves. Aren't they afraid of chilling the hearts of those on the front lines?

Who will be willing to risk their lives for the Bureau of Investigation in the future? Who will dare to take on dangerous field missions? "How can we govern this country while dealing with these insects?"

So, what are the people on the front lines thinking?
"If this is the treatment we receive if we fail a mission, we're willing to take on any mission, no matter how dangerous."

This is what the captured Bureau of Investigation agents said.

In the newly built sanatorium (bushi) in Fox River, a luxurious prison, they are experiencing an unprecedented form of imprisonment.

If I had to describe it, it would be "VIP treatment".

Single room with private bathroom; includes three meals a day, prepared by a professional chef, plus a bottle of red wine (not really), a bottle of grape juice and a premium cigar;
Professional psychological counseling, with one-on-one service provided by certified psychological consultants, to alleviate emotional problems such as anxiety and depression caused by mission failure and capture;

You can use facilities such as the library, billiards room, and sports field for entertainment or exercise...

When have the secret agents of the Bureau of Investigation ever enjoyed such "VIP treatment"?

The counselor reassured them to relax and enjoy themselves, saying, "Having risked your lives for the Federation, can't you at least live a normal life for a couple of days?"

That makes so much sense, the Ox and Horse agents can't refuse!
The only problem was that they didn't see the regular, clearly itemized price list and service bills issued daily by the prison administration.

The fee is only $120 per person per day, which may be a lot for an average federal employee earning only one or two thousand dollars a year, but it is not a problem at all for the federal government.

What? The federal government is just letting them fend for themselves? Won't that mean the prisons are losing a fortune?

How could you slander our great, humanitarian federal government like this?
Amidst the overwhelming ridicule, Logan, equally compassionate, did not choose to kick someone when they were down. Instead, he published an article in The Sun titled "Federal Government, Save the Loyal Kids!"
"Without a doubt, the Bureau of Investigation's operation in Chicago has reached a new level of folly that is outrageous and even artistic."

"However, we should still see a glimmer of light in the darkness: those agents who are imprisoned have at least withstood the test of loyalty—according to our understanding, even when captured by gangsters and threatened, they resolutely refuse to reveal any more details of their missions."

(Agents: Everyone already knows, what else is there to say?)
"Have the agents done right by the FBI, and has the FBI done right by the agents? For both moral and logical reasons, the federal government should not abandon these poor employees."

"Even from a taxpayer's perspective, we shouldn't abandon these employees—we've already spent money on their failed actions, so why should we spend more money to recruit and train potentially equally or even more foolish replacements?"

"Saving these foolish but loyal children may be the least bad option right now!"

Hmm, at first glance, it seems to make a lot of sense!

So, while mocking the investigation bureau, the media also chimed in with cries of "Save the stupid but loyal children," as if that would make their ridicule even more justifiable.

After seeing Logan's statement, Mr. Hoover was moved and finally made an important decision!
