Chapter 1126: Chapter 144 Why a Republic!_3

“You really are something else!”

This is the United States of America, under the republican system led by the Great Commander, every congressman is part of the republic, naturally enjoying a portion of the supreme power.

Hutter knows who is obstructing him, some African American congresswoman, pure joke, it’s Nancy behind her!

The old witch dislikes Niusen, but that doesn’t mean she’s ready to give up on Niusen!

Only Nancy, the Emperor’s Speaker who has been navigating the political seas for years and always standing at the forefront, could have such strong execution power.

The Deputy Director can even imagine that behind the scenes of hindering his normal reporting work, Nancy is bouncing around elsewhere, only hoping the situation doesn’t escalate to the most troublesome level.

This is actually why Hutter most admires Achilles, saying they are the more younger and cutting-edge force, they won’t passively wait for the enemy’s attack but will actively choose to strike first.

The difference between the active and passive is immense.

At least Hutter has been mingling in America for years, rarely seeing Nancy in such urgency.

A few minutes later, the posing mounted police finally made way, and the black Cadillac made it onto the 14th Street Bridge.

Distance, 4 kilometers!

By this time, Hutter finally feels some tension.

To the ordinary person, he is the all-powerful Deputy Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, but he has never personally met the Great Commander alone.

The Great Commander of America can appoint hundreds to thousands of key positions, like the Minister of Justice is among the hundreds, while someone like Hutter as a Deputy Director is among the thousands…

Can’t expect an elderly person to remember thousands of names, right?

But Hutter’s tension isn’t because the Great Commander doesn’t recognize him, more from self-awareness as a certain touch of the Deep State.

The Great Commander isn’t an easy person to get along with, he’s well-known but also really difficult to interact with, Hutter is quite worried how that elderly man would deal with him.

Actually, as the distance to the destination diminishes, Hutter sees the Washington Monument, an obelisk towering 160 centimeters.

This is the power center of the Empire, yet a sense of an inexplicable thought rises in Hutter’s heart—who will be the next person established here?

Would it be the current Great Commander?

During the midnight hours of his dreams, does he fantasize about how people will commemorate him after his death, like a god?

“Should be, right?”

Hutter muttered to himself.

In his view, who wouldn’t want to leave their name in history?

In Hua Country, this is called leaving a name in the annals, endowed by values.

In Europe and America, this is called beatification after death, endowed by faith—faith is also a special kind of value system.

“Mr. Director, what did you say?”

The subordinate sitting in the front row didn’t hear Hutter’s words clearly and asked.

“Nothing, irrelevant.”

Hutter has self-awareness, whether leaving a name or not, it doesn’t concern him.

To be involved in such a critical moment and enter the center stage of history already extremely satisfies this man.

The Cadillac convoy traversed the route, finally stopping at the entrance to the White House West Wing.

Hutter opened the car door, efficiently carrying a small box, he walked swiftly toward the main door.

For Hutter, the White House security personnel had long been waiting.

This Deputy Director of the Investigation Bureau is currently the most key figure in Washington D.C.

“Hey brother, we’ve been waiting for you for a full two hours!”

America’s national affairs are always complex and difficult, but for those at the center of power, the urgent matters each day are only so many.

Don’t underestimate the security at the White House, but as part of the media often referred-to ‘sources unwilling to disclose their names,’ they are very well aware of what Hutter’s insistence on reporting investigation results to the Great Commander implies.

“I need to see the Great Commander urgently, immediately, now!”

Hutter didn’t waste words, signaling the security staff to quickly lead the way.

As they were heading toward the West Wing’s main entrance, an unexpected man stopped him.

Distance, 20 meters!

“Hutter!”

The Minister of Justice stretched out and yanked, directly pulling Hutter into a small empty meeting room.

This scene had already caught the eyes of those who cared.

Seemingly ordinary, in reality, the amount of information that can be interpreted from this is enormous, almost to the point where a few thousand words might not be able to explain it all.

The Minister of Justice had no options left, Hutter wouldn’t answer the phone, follow orders, insisting on going his own way.

If not, he wouldn’t have personally guarded the main entrance, serving as the last gatekeeper for the Empire’s dignity.

“I had people intercept you at the airport, prepared to see you, but you came straight through!

There’s been progress in the investigation, we’re all paying attention, but you need to have a sense of the bigger picture!”

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is directly under the Judicial Department, Hutter’s superior is the Director, in theory, the Minister of Justice is the superior of his superior, a super leader.

But America’s logic and Hua Country’s logic differ, specifically tied to their respective relationships, it’s even more complex.

Simply put, the Minister of Justice’s power is like duckweed, Hutter Deputy Director’s power is like the intertwined roots of a large tree.

Duckweed can be blown by the wind, able to fly high, but eventually falls back to the water.

The large tree, however, is different.

“Honestly shocking, I dare not be without a sense of the bigger picture, sir.”

Hutter placed the box on the meeting table, seemingly suggesting negotiations to the Minister of Justice.

“Hutter, what’s in here?” Pointing to the box, the Minister asked.

“Relevant investigation documents, the Great Commander needs me to tell him the truth.” Hutter’s response is intriguing.

The Minister of Justice adjusted his glasses slightly and said.

“It’s actually the Great Commander who instructed me to meet you, he ordered me to have you return, Hutter, you should report step by step, the nation cannot withstand storms…”
