Miss President wants to talk to you

In that case, she must now prove her worth.

However, upon hearing Edgar's statement, Eleanor shook his head.

"Not for now."

He said, "Your task now is to cooperate with the president and advance the revision of the Federal Search Procedures Act and the Foreign Espionage Act. You don't need to worry about anything else."

"As for the mastermind behind the spell that was cast on me, I have other plans."

Is that right?

Edgar thought about it and realized it made sense.

Only by expanding the FBI's powers can it better serve the federal government!

"understand!"

Edgar immediately declared, "I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"

"go Go."

Eleanor waved his hand, dismissing Edgar.

The office fell silent.

Eleanor leaned back in his chair, gradually falling into deep thought.

He just refused Edgar's request to continue investigating the mastermind behind the scenes.

There is no need to continue the investigation.

The system told him who the murderer was.

Richard Morgan was one.

And there's Anguido Rogers!

Even now, Eleanor still doesn't know who this Rogers is.

But that's not a problem.

"System, give me detailed information about Angelo Rogers."

[Thinking about the problem...]

[Estimated thinking time: 5 minute.]

After a moment's wait, Eleanor gave her answer.

"Angito Rogers, male, 42 years old, graduated from Harvard Law School with a Juris Doctor degree, is a professional political lobbyist who has long served the Morgan Group."

Rogers has extensive connections on Capitol Hill and maintains regular contact with the offices of at least six senators and fourteen representatives.

"He has no obvious political or ideological bias, his methods are somewhat ambiguous, but he has excellent professional qualities and has never betrayed his employer."

After reading this text, Eleanor suddenly understood.

So it turns out he's just a lobbyist.

No wonder I'd never heard of that name before.

Serving the Morgan Group, oh, I see.

It seems they felt pressured by the Emergency Banking Act, which is why they resorted to desperate measures and attacked themselves.

You've really bitten off more than you can chew.

I'm very petty!

However, Eleanor also knew that dealing with Richard Morgan required a specific approach.

Because of Edgar's failed operation, all the evidence that could be found in St. Joseph's Church has been destroyed.

Even if we force our way in, we can only trace it back to Rogers at most.

This makes no sense.

Rogers is a professional lobbyist; taking the blame and risks for his employers is part of his job.

If he knew he was being investigated, he would definitely take full responsibility and never implicate the Morgan Group.

Therefore, we must pay attention to the methods.

Luring the snake out of its hole, using the opportunity to make a fuss.

Let Richard Morgan come out on his own!

After thinking for a moment, Eleanor had an idea.

……

White House corridor.

William Wooding emerged from the office, looking exhausted.

This finance minister in the Rosefleur cabinet has not had a single day of peace since taking office.

Although the risk of a bank run has passed, the real headaches for him are only just beginning.

Extinguishing fires is easy.

Preventing a fire from happening again is very difficult.

The Ministry of Finance sent over a list this morning.

The list includes detailed reviews of dozens of major federal banks.

After reading it, Wu Ding felt a chill run down his spine.

The scale of these banks' operations is frighteningly large.

A commercial bank that owns a securities company.

Securities companies issue bonds on behalf of enterprises.

Companies issue bonds, which are then sold by banks to their depositors.

The money depositors use to buy bonds flows back into the banking system through trust companies.

Back and forth.

They formed a dense, intricate network.

Wu Ding immediately realized how terrible this situation was.

A single misstep can have far-reaching consequences; if one link in the chain goes wrong, the entire system will be affected.

In the past, it would have been easier to handle.

Because there are so many federal banks, each a small system, the impact of problems is limited.

But things are different now.

The Great Depression and the preceding banking crisis led to the collapse of countless small banks, leaving only the large banks to survive.

They began to devour market share, and their size expanded visibly.

If we let them continue like this...

Wu Ding could already foresee that several terrifyingly large monopolistic capitals would emerge within the Federation.

But at that time, if a problem arose, it would be a huge social crisis.

In order to resolve the crisis, the government has no choice but to be completely held hostage by the banks, endlessly draining their resources.

"Too big to fail," Wu Ding thought of this phrase.

No!

How can this be allowed?

As the federal finance minister, he had to do something!

but……

How can this problem be solved?

Wu Ding walked and pondered.

He hadn't walked far when he saw a familiar young man walking towards him.

Ellino Hopkins.

Woodin gave a polite greeting, and then Eleanor suddenly stopped in front of him.

"Mr. Wu Ding, what happened?"

Eleanor looked surprised. "Why do you look like you're about to die?"

Wu Ding remained silent for a moment.

How the hell can you talk like that?

But Wu Ding was, after all, a seasoned gentleman, and he didn't voice his true feelings.

And he also knew that Eleanor probably wasn't swearing.

Because my complexion is indeed not very good right now.

"Oh! Thanks for your concern, but I'm fine."

Wu Ding sighed deeply, "It's just that I encountered some difficulties at work, which consumed too much of my energy."

"This is no small matter!"

Eleanor was shocked. "Mr. Woodin, the President is now relying entirely on your wisdom for the economy. You can't let the pressure wear you down!"

"No! I have to help you out!"

"How about this, tell me about the problem you're having, and I'll see if I can help you find a solution."

Eleanor's words did not offend Woodin.

In theory, as a special assistant to the president, Eleanor has the authority to inquire about any federal affairs.

Wu Ding thought about it and decided that he could say it.
