My American magical life
Chapter 922 - 922 71 Strangulation 6

922: Chapter 71: Strangulation 6 922: Chapter 71: Strangulation 6 The term “Establishment Faction,” from the perspective of the symbolic system, is neutral in itself, neither complimentary nor derogatory.

But if you delve deep into the word’s part of speech and etymology, many interesting questions emerge.

The Establishment is how the term is written in English.

“Establishment” is a word derived from Latin, its original root being stabilire—”to make stable.”

The prefix e- has no specific meaning, and the suffix -ment indicates a state, allowing it to be understood as a noun.

In contemporary political studies and discourse, “The Establishment” often describes certain political forces within America, less so in other regions.

‘Those who stabilize America’ is the true embodiment of what the Establishment Faction represents.

This precisely highlights the characteristics of the Establishment Faction: a solid presence in the system, long-term interests, and an unwillingness to change stances.

This is problematic because the more people adhere strictly to the ways of the ancestors, the more likely the ancestors would be stomping their feet hard beneath the ground.

Those who have created great enterprises know very well that no system in the world is immutable.

Whether it be the Establishment Faction of the Republican Party or the Democratic Party, they are the ones who have their cake and eat it too, hence they delay challengers and uphold rules.

If you are unwilling to play by the rules, don’t even think about boarding our ship!

This was the fundamental logic that Sheriff Gru had nowhere to turn to at first.

From the moment he killed Tonks, he embarked on a road of no return.

Who are you to break the rules?

The interests of San Rodolfo are for the Establishment Faction, do you even qualify?

From Niusen to Gasetti, these Establishment elites did not appreciate Gru’s methods.

The presence of Cheng Daqi, however, integrated certain forces within San Rodolfo that were not accepted by the political Establishment, thereby creating his own faction.

The relationship between the Underground Forces led by Gru and the newly emerged force represented by Cheng Daqi was complementary, but since Cheng’s war record was so impressive, Gru took Cheng Daqi’s arrangements very seriously.

From West State Logistics debt restructuring to controlling Wang Xiaoxiao, he handled them very diligently.

When the retainer is dedicated, the master naturally reciprocates the favor.

At the shooting range in the backyard of Sheriff Gru’s fortified mansion, he was talking to Jax.

“Don’t worry about the budget cuts, just wait until Chan and Niusen have settled their terms, I estimate Gasetti will start to handle it,” said Gru.

Today, at the San Rodolfo LAPD Chief’s work meeting, the presiding Lake dropped a bombshell, jolting Jax so much that he sought Gru out to complain immediately after the meeting.

Regarding the budget cuts, Sheriff Gru wasn’t too worried; from the camp’s perspective, he’s now under the shelter of the powers that be.

When someone oversteps, the boss has the duty to intervene!

“Lake’s stance at the meeting was odd, he seemed to have some other sources of funds, hinting that if we lack funds we can talk to him privately, as if he intends to divide the high ranks of our gang…”

Jax said with deep concern.

He is now the de facto leader of the Underground Forces, with Gru stepping behind the scenes, Jax stepped to the forefront.

Lake, with the support of Gasetti and San Rodolfo City Council to cut the LAPD’s budget, was clearly aiming to start from undermining Gru’s influence.

This was the real reason for his concern.

Boss, the enemies are at our door!

“No trouble for now, let’s wait for Chan to return.

He’s after someone we’ve already got control of, the BEC issue is fermenting more and more, it’s about time for him to come back,” Gru said.

Hearing Gru’s words, Jax suddenly said.

“Have you been in contact with him?”

Sheriff Gru picked up a gun from the table, handed it to Jax, signaling him to give it a try.

“No, I’ve met with Temir, guess what she said?”

“Bang!”

Jax took his shot, hitting the bulls-eye, then asked.

“Didn’t you say Wolf was the second-in-command?”

Sheriff Gru exclaimed with a grand gesture.

“Ha, that’s assuming when Chan steps down.

For now, Temir and Chan are essentially one, her opinion sometimes reflects Chan’s thinking.

In short, I’ve talked to her, and the message from her is that Niusen has agreed to work with us against the Gasettis after the BEC matter is settled.

By then, won’t San Rodolfo still belong to us?”

Jax thought for a moment and followed up with a question about Niusen.

“With the California scandal behind us, we’ve got a hold over Niusen, isn’t that enough to make him listen?”

That Mr.

Governor, at the time Jax took great courage to personally lead the team in designing it, but now he realizes that Gru seems not to care much about that leverage.

“Not enough, Temir and Chan both disagree with using blunt threats to communicate with Niusen.

After all, if Niusen leaves, the next California Rancher might not be as suitable.

That’s why they played this roundabout game with the BEC coin project.

From the looks of it, Chan’s absence becomes the most brilliant response.

However, that leverage is not useless; at least it prevents Niusen from making a desperate move, which is already a significant use,” Gru said with a sigh.

“Two questions, why his absence is considered a brilliant response, and the other is, this time the Great Commander has sent the deputy director Yusuf from NITA.

You said the BEC matter is at a critical juncture, isn’t this what you mean?”

Jax’s questions were somewhat convoluted, but Gru understood what he was puzzled about.
