Chapter 1136: Chapter 147: Cut him into mince and eat him clean, bite by bite!

(That piece “The harsh bureaucrat, Death Spiral…” actually points to a prosecutor girl who loves to smile, not an allusion to domestic issues; I’m not that bold.)

“Chan, have you never thought that our large-scale misappropriation of the newly added security budget might lead to potentially disastrous consequences in the event of attacks?”

Of course, I’m not worried about those diplomats I don’t know; I’m afraid that once this is exposed, we’ll be on the defensive…”

Cheng Daqi replied in surprise.

“And doesn’t an attack precisely indicate that adding to the budget was correct? The only issue is that it wasn’t enough!”

The bureaucratic problem-solving mindset and the approach to solving issues are two different things. Mike is the primary person responsible, but evidently, he feels no psychological pressure at all.

A blunder implies that Mike Pompeo’s performance project is a perfect precaution!

If the budget isn’t enough, we can keep adding it.

Everyone is merely a Smith commissioner, there’s no need to feel any psychological burden~

“OK, alright, what do we do now? Talk to Niusen again, or directly visit Charles Koch?”

Temir was a bit overwhelmed by the conspiracy woven by Chief Cheng; she even mistakenly thought Chief Cheng was in a headwind at the moment.

There’s a point that must be explained: the engagement between Achilles and Chief Cheng had indeed gone somewhat overboard.

Strategically, Hutter’s self-exposure forcing the Leader to start an investigation is not a clever tactic.

The California Clique might unite due to external pressure, Wolf can honor his father-in-law, leaving Chief Cheng embarrassed.

“Let’s wait and see, Achilles says he is confident.”

Cheng Daqi shook his head; he chose to trust Achilles for now.

This potential brother-in-law was once his most worrying enemy, but with changing circumstances and fateful coincidence, they instead became allies with shared interests.

This cooperation is even more abstract than Gru joining forces with California Rancher Niusen.

It can only be said that they are too rational.

“What good is his confidence? You once said that Wolf’s historical blackmail could be dismissed as vile slander from the Democratic Party as long as there’s no evidence.

We’re facing a similar situation now; Burns has already been exposed along with Lake, but no major media is willing to reveal it—Chan, the other side doesn’t acknowledge it.

If we don’t admit defeat, we don’t have to lose completely; Niusen and the California Clique are the same, as are Lake and Gasetti.

The Leader stepping in is of no use; the Federal Bureau of Investigation can at most get Will in, but beyond that, it’s impossible.”

By now, West State Logistics is barely alive, even Temir’s OC has started being attacked, but there’s still no sign of the promised turnaround from Chief Cheng.

From a risk management perspective, opting for a conservative strategy now is necessary.

“We can meet Charles whenever, but the chance for a win is fleeting, haven’t you noticed that the conflict between Niusen and Nanxi has become public?

Behind this, our biggest opponent—the Shamite wanderers are involved.

Nanxi’s reversal has reasons including her unwillingness to accept my control and the financiers backing her not wanting the California Clique to have excessive independence.

Niusen’s decision is the key moving forward; it’s up to whether Nanxi wants to step in and save Will!”

Nanxi would never save Will!

Do you really think gifting eight black brothers to satisfy Nanxi would make this old crone sacrifice her interests to bail someone out?

No way, the Emperor’s Speaker’s level isn’t that low.

As an important leader of the Democratic Party in its confrontation with the Leader of the Republican Party, her position and interests are firmly locked in.

Should she dare show weakness, the momentum she has amassed behind her would start to crumble!

In top-level conflicts of this kind, the foremost decision-makers are tied down by their past!

The Republican Party advocates small government, inherently at odds with America’s bureaucrats, and the Leader’s policies have taken this contradiction to the extreme—anti-globalization is essentially reducing bureaucracy’s influence.

Moreover, Nanxi has long been the Democratic fundraising chairperson, and her financiers are all major capitalists profiting from global expansion.

Whichever way you look at it, Nanxi can’t possibly compromise to save her nephew’s lackeys.

Impossible!

But this will only further deepen the conflict between Niusen and Nanxi!

The Governor’s money is still held up by Chief Cheng!

“Can’t we talk with them? Chan, the minimum expectation for the private prison project should be met; in fact, cooperation has been relatively smooth. Talking with Nanxi or Niusen now, we don’t lose out.”

Temir remains calm.

Securing a win quickly can prevent passivity following a change in the situation.

“Not losing out? You’re seemingly forgetting our input cost, Mi’er.”

Cheng Daqi said hauntingly.

This single reason left Mi’er speechless.

Indeed, their input cost was too high, a minor win doesn’t count as a win; a major win is necessary to continue maintaining Chief Cheng’s and her seat at the California Elephant Party or even at America’s table.

Cheng Daqi had previously proposed three possibilities: a big win to continue being Tycoon, a minor win would mean temporarily lying low with Koch or other Elephant Party power players, and a loss would entail becoming Wolf’s pawn.

Currently, through Chief Cheng’s preplanned moves, they’ve secured a minor win.

But should they really fold now?

Chief Cheng doesn’t seem satisfied.

“Is this what you mean by inertia?” The black-haired wealthy woman sighed lightly.

Nanxi has Nanxi’s inertia, Chief Cheng also has his own inertia.

Have they won?

Won a little.

Can they stop?

Impossible!

“It’s not entirely about inertia, our scale continues to grow and interests have expanded to the borders of other giants, conflict is inevitable.
