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

Chapter 169 European Heroes, Let's Privateer America! (Bonus Chapter 726)

"Is the Prohibition Bureau recruiting 'heroes' to enforce the law?"

When we first heard this news, everyone thought it was a joke.

Unexpectedly, more and more sources are proving that the Prohibition Bureau is serious.

Public opinion was instantly in uproar!

Who doesn't know that on American soil, anyone who dares to call themselves a "hero" or is referred to as a "hero" is an outlaw?
Didn't you see that even The Sun, which is known for its effusive praise of "heroes," could only describe them as "talents" in the "gray areas"?
Is it reasonable and legal to let out lawless individuals enforce the law?

Does this do justice to the law enforcement heroes who sacrificed their lives fighting against outlaws?
Even if the Bureau of Investigation and the Heroes "colluded," at least they would put on a show and offer a huge bounty of "ten thousand dollars"!

Your Prohibition Committee is quite something; you're not even bothering with the pretense, you're just announcing a recruitment drive for heroes!

You still dare to say that your Prohibition Bureau hasn't become corrupt?

So why should we increase the budget for a law enforcement agency that has gone from being incompetent to associating with criminals?
Faced with this overwhelming questioning and criticism, Commissioner Robert of the Prohibition Bureau once again unleashed his "strongest weapon"!
At the second briefing, he answered the camera with tears streaming down his face:

"Have pity on these children... They were also born of parents... They have families too!"

This time, he cried while wiping his face haphazardly with his sleeve, covering his face with tears and snot, looking extremely disheveled.

"Only the fiercest wolves can deal with those man-eating wolves... We... just want to enforce the law!"

He cried so hard that his face turned blue and his breathing became rapid.

Just as the reporters were stunned by his unrestrained crying, Commissioner Robert trembled all over, his shoulders shook violently, and he made a sound like he was gagging. The next moment, he fainted from excessive grief and fell heavily backward!

"Commissioner!"

"Quick! Get him to the hospital!"

Chaos erupted at the scene. Prohibition Bureau staff rushed over and carried the unconscious commissioner to the hospital at breakneck speed.

A group of reporters were left looking at each other in bewilderment.

After a long pause, someone finally muttered a complaint:
"Fuck, who can stand that crying?!"

Yes, who could stand it? It would make someone cry their eyes out!
Whatever, let them do whatever they want!
Anyway, this isn't the first time that outlaws have been enforcing the law in America.

Putting aside the distant past, in Chicago, isn't law enforcement often run by gangsters?

If Chicago can do it, why can't the Prohibition Bureau?

Let's first condemn the bad example set by Chicago!
The media can be "understanding," but the Prohibition Board really can't just "do whatever it wants."

Because the idea is very generous, but the reality is very harsh.

The Prohibition Bureau's attempt to recruit "heroes" within the United States first faced direct competition from gangs.

The logic is simple: heroes are recruited by gangsters to deal with weak law enforcement officers; the Prohibition Bureau recruits them to deal with ruthless gangsters. Why would anyone choose the Prohibition Bureau's job—which is "troublesome, pays well, and is close to home"—when they wouldn't choose a gangster job that's "high-risk, low-paying, and could cost you your life at any moment"?

Ultimately, Logan, a regular on the Prohibition Board's "unfriendly list," secretly helped the Prohibition Board.

While he and The Sun promoted the nascent professional basketball league in Chicago, they watched the farce unfold in the South with a critical eye.

When he and the people at The Sun laughed as the Prohibition Board finally succumbed to pressure and bowed to the "gangsters."

What is this called?
Oppose Chicago, understand Chicago, become Chicago?
We can't let it disconnect at the last step!

Fortunately, Logan has connections!

He sent a telegram to the "European Heroes Agency" that he had recently set up with French arms dealer Thomas: "There are plenty of hero jobs in America right now, come quickly!"

……

Soon, an agency called "European Heroes Agency" contacted the Prohibition Board, which was struggling to recruit staff, and promoted their "services":
"...For a referral fee of just $499 from your bureau, we can bring you a fearless European hero who's only after his money! We can bring you as many as you want."

The entire Prohibition Bureau was absolutely stunned!

Who would have thought that something like "Haojie Business Agency" actually exists in this world?

They even make "talent transportation" so brazen and openly priced!
But after the initial shock, upon closer reflection, it turned out to be exactly what they wanted!

You're not afraid of death, all you want is to get rich? No problem! The bootlegging dealers in the South are right there. You European desperados, go and take it if you dare!

We generously promise to split all the spoils 50/50! No deception, young or old!
Anyway, heroes don't need to be paid, and they don't need to be compensated when they die. What great consumables!
All things considered, although the referral fee of $499 per person seems a bit expensive, it is absolutely worth it compared to the exorbitant cost of recruiting official agents and the burden of compensation!
Bring them here, bring them here quickly! We want as many as you bring!

……

A highly tempting message, circulated widely in the European underworld through an arms dealer's channels—

The Prohibition Board of America needs to recruit a group of "heroes" to deal with those filthy bootleggers!

Yes, it's the same line of work that conman "president" targeted before!

Think about it, even scammers can rake in hundreds of thousands of dollars, how much can you real heroes who dare to take risks and have the ability to stir up trouble earn?

All you need to do is go to America empty-handed! The Prohibition Bureau will provide you with everything you need—from weapons and equipment, intelligence support to legitimate official status!
Most importantly, you can take half of all the proceeds from cracking down on bootlegging dealers!
Gentlemen, this is not an ordinary law enforcement action!

This is a "license of marque" issued by the U.S. government in the 20th century to bootlegging dealers!
Now or never!
What? You mean, with such a great opportunity, why aren't the local American heroes tempted?

Are you stupid? They're either bootleggers themselves or working as henchmen for bootleggers! Who would attack themselves?
This prize is destined to belong to our European heroes!
You can't possibly be afraid of the heroes of America, can you? No way!
Great! If you're interested, come report to European Elite Agency immediately. We have direct referral slots to the Prohibition Bureau in the United States!
All you need to do is pay a negligible travel and service fee—not $9999, not $999, just $99! We'll take care of getting you safely into America and making you an officially certified, unofficial Prohibition officer!
"Go and get rich, heroes of Europe! The golden dream of the New World beckons you!"

This alluring call, like the song of a siren, lured countless desperate outlaws from the European continent—those who were disillusioned, down on their luck, yearning for overnight riches, or simply seeking thrills—onto the ships bound for the "New World."

The friendly interactions between Europe and the United States have become even closer!
