Chapter 1202: Respective Thoughts

Before Chester accepted the invitation to take on this special job, he had considered these things: bribery, power-for-money transactions.

Such situations were also very common in the military, and he was also a part of it, a participant in a link.

It could even be said that there was actually a connection between him and Lanse—

The wine Lanse sent to the front line, those good medicines used as a way to reduce the pressure and tension of soldiers, were also the "Golden Lion Metal Cans" that soldiers liked relatively much. A part of them would be intercepted by the military high-level, and then sold to the Slader people and their allies.

Wine, this thing, perhaps it is not so tense in normal times, and Slader also has quite a lot of land and grain, and they will also brew wine.

But after the war broke out, grain became a controlled strategic material and was not allowed to be used for brewing wine. The desire of the public for beverages containing alcohol was very strong.

The entire war zone is like this. All allies of the Slader Republic were required to register grain and carry out unified distribution.

So during the war, Slader and its allies were very lacking in alcohol for the middle and high levels.

The Federation is because of Prohibition, so the price of alcohol directly broke through the sky.

On the Slader side, it was because the war prohibited brewing wine, so the price of wine also began to soar.

Www? TTKдN? Co

From a certain sense, two countries with different environments and forces reached an agreement magically on the issue of Prohibition.

According to reason, like the Sumuli Island, they were still selling alcohol to the Federation, they could also sell it in Slader, and they could also make money, and the risk was small. Why didn't they do that?

In fact, the reason is very simple. If they really transported and sold alcohol to the Slader side, then the Slader people who had always been at a disadvantage couldn't handle their old rivals, could they still not handle a little brother who didn't listen in the war?

People all know how to send grain to the front line, how come you brewed wine with grain and wanted to sell it to make war money?

This is a destruction of the overall ideological unity and a betrayal of the war and sacred friendship!

So even if some countries actually have surplus food to brew wine, they will not sell it to Slader.

And Slader's war is a war related to the survival of the country and the survival of the ruling class of the entire country. They will treat the resource allocation during the war more seriously than anyone else, and they will not mess around.

So the small iron cans in the federal military supplies, and the luncheon meat cans of the soldiers, became hot goods in Slader.

Chester also sold these military supplies. Originally, those things should have been sent to the hands of the soldiers on the front line, but they detained a part of them, used them for sale in exchange for wealth, and then put them into their own pockets.

The Federation is not clean from top to bottom. He clearly realized this point. He thought about Lanse or others, capitalists, would give him money. He thought about these.

But when his eyes were fixed on that check, he didn't think that they would give so much!

Chester could be connected to the Social Party side. Besides being a Social Party member himself, his wife's father was also a member of the Federal Social Party Committee and had a good relationship with Senator Cleveland.

At that time, when they were choosing the next person, they considered that this person must be reliable, be their own person, and be ruthless enough, not the kind of idealist.

The position of Federal Bureau of Investigation director is the sharpest knife in the hands of the political party. They need a knife that can easily cut open other people's flesh and blood, not the kind of blunt knife that can't even be stabbed in.

A colonel officer in the military who has developed almost to the limit is a good choice.

Because of the lack of support behind the military, if there is no relatively important interest exchange between the military and his wife, and the Social Party, then his most critical step, the step from field officer to general officer, is difficult to cross.

The war gave him the opportunity from major to colonel, but it would not give him the opportunity to cross the real class barrier.

So his wife's father made a decision, paid some price, exchanged some favors, and got his son-in-law out.

Before coming to take office, that old man also talked to Chester about this matter.

Don't refuse any goodwill and requests from the Social Party camp. He only has to stand firm first, and then he has the qualification to talk about conditions with others. Before this, whatever others say, he has to do.

Chester is also a smart person, otherwise he wouldn't have been developed into a Social Party member before he joined the army. Although the military is relatively dictatorial and vertical, it also gave him a chance to exercise.

He thought his first black money might be five thousand dollars, ten thousand, or twenty thousand.

This is already a lot in his cognition. You know, the average salary in the Federation now might only be over fifty dollars (statistics). Five thousand dollars is the total income of an ordinary person for about ten years.

But he didn't expect that Lanse gave him one hundred thousand!

He looked at the number on the check and was a bit distracted. After a while, he came back to his senses and said with an apologetic expression, "Sorry, Lanse, I have never seen a check with such a large denomination."

"I was a bit distracted."

Lanse expressed understanding. "Many people will be distracted when they see a long string of 'zeros' beyond their cognition."

"This is actually a kind of 'expansion'. Your cognition, your life, have all been expanded. You can accommodate more things, which is a good thing for you."

"You are a smart person and have ability. I believe you can handle these well."

"After you go back, buy yourself a few sets of beautiful clothes, buy a better house, they might go to your side as guests."

"I heard you still live in your wife's father's villa?"

Chester was a bit embarrassed. "We are planning to move out."

With a suitable job, and such a job, he is indeed not suitable to continue living in his wife's father's house.

"Just right, I have a house in the suburbs that is vacant. You can move in. I will have people give you the address and key later."

"You are a senior federal employee now. Your appearance and state will determine whether those people respect you and listen to you."

"We all look forward to your development and future, Chester."

"I won't say things like 'don't let me down', but please, don't let those who pay attention to you down!"

Chester nodded vigorously. "I know, Lanse..."

Lanse stared at him. He didn't say "Mr.", but directly said Lanse's name.

"Very good!"

"It seems we are already friends. We can communicate more, and with others, timely communication can avoid ninety percent of the trouble..."

Subsequently, the two chatted for a while, and Lanse left first.

After watching Lanse's car disappear at the end of the road, Chester drove back to the place where he lived now, which was the villa of his wife's father.

After the old man saw him come back, a smile appeared on his face. "How did the talk go?"

He knew that if Senator Cleveland and these people wanted to use his son-in-law, they would definitely have to turn him into their own person first, and someone had to be responsible for this matter.

Before, the senator told him that he would introduce a "friend" to his son-in-law, which was actually a formal win-over.

To decide on some subsequent handling methods, if this matter wasn't too urgent to handle, it was only a few days, and if they missed the former president, there was no chance to nominate, and Congress would very likely not be able to pass it. Many things would definitely be handled before this.

So this was actually giving Chester a bargain.

Next was the president taking office, forming the cabinet, and the change of congressional seats. All the "old men" returned to their origins, and no one came to manage Chester, until these few days, they returned to the center of the Federation from all places.

So there was this meeting.

"Okay!", Chester walked to the sofa and sat down, took out the envelope from his arms, and handed it over. "He gave it to me."

His wife's father picked up the envelope, opened it, took a look, and whistled. "One hundred thousand, not bad, they seem to accept you very much."

He said and returned the envelope and the check to Chester. "Don't think this is a lot. If you knew this person Lanse White, who sends over one hundred million in benefits to the Social Party every year, you wouldn't think this one hundred thousand dollars is anything."

Hearing him say this, Chester himself was also surprised. "How does he have so much money?"

In his cognition, "wealthy" seems to be a word with an upper limit.

Of course, this also has a certain relationship with his limited cognition of being wealthy. In fact, Lanse is not the wealthiest batch of people, but he will become the wealthiest batch of people.

Those financial groups and families that truly monopolize a certain industry in the Federation are the super giants hidden behind the Federation!

For example, oil, for example, steel, for example, those military and chemical groups that are becoming giants, and medical groups!

The speed at which these capitalists make money is no slower than Lanse, and they are more hidden and safer!

Some people may have a vague concept of capitalists being wealthy and making money, but very few people will realize how crazy the profits of medical groups are!

Those seemingly inconspicuous special drugs, one injection might only be a few dollars. For ordinary people, this injection might just be an injection.

But in fact, their assembly lines produce these special drugs worth a few dollars without interruption every day and sell them to the whole world. As long as one hundred thousand people use these special drugs every day, in fact, the number far exceeds this number.

Then their profit might be two hundred thousand, ten days is two million, one month is six million, one year is seventy-two million.

But they don't only have one kind of special drug, there might be dozens of special drugs on sale.

And those hospitals, they do an organ transplant and can ask wealthy people for tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of fees.

So Lanse's wealth is indeed not small to the highest level of the entire Federation, but it can definitely not be said to be surprisingly much!

Chester's wife's father laughed twice. "He now controls the entire Likai State, and the alcohol smuggling and sales market in Denuo State, which is about to be controlled. His factories are more terrible than the banknote printing factory."

"Printing money for him without interruption every day!"

Chester didn't ask why no one managed it. As a military officer who retired, he knew very well that these were military supplies, had privileges, and Lanse had a license.

He sighed after a while. "The impact of these things on me is indeed very big."

His wife's father sat beside him and patted his shoulder. "So you have to watch well and learn well. I can't help you climb higher in the military, but outside, I still have a little way to pave a road for you."

"We all know the importance of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. First make people unable to leave you, then make people fear you, and finally you control the whole situation, understand!"

Chester nodded. "I know how to do it."

He and the old man beside him also said some words Lanse told him. Chester's wife's father also agreed very much. "Lanse said it very correctly. People are lowly. You wear clothes worth thousands of dollars, and wear clothes worth more than ten dollars, to meet them, their attitude is different!"

"Don't worry about this money, he can give it to you through a transfer check, which means it has been cleaned up. You go directly to prepare some things."

"If there is anything you don't understand, or don't know how to handle, tell me again."

"Stabilize the work first."

"If you want to become a person who can be trusted by them, you must first integrate into them."

After Lanse and Chester separated, he didn't go back directly. He made an appointment with Ford supervisor and Aike supervisor.

The first to come was Aike supervisor, who had strong subjective initiative in meeting Lanse.

First, Lanse held his fatal handle. No matter whether he was forced or not, as long as these things were released, he would definitely be finished, so he was more active.

Secondly, Lanse could also bring him more benefits.

As an agent supervisor, according to reason, he should be able to get more wealth or other things, but in fact, this is not the case, because he is not a front-line personnel.

On the contrary, those front-line personnel, and those people in the branch, can fish for benefits until their hands are soft.

He sits in the headquarters office all day, can't come into contact with specific execution work, and no one sends him money at all.

So as soon as Lanse called, he immediately found a reason to leave the office to see Lanse.

The two were chatting, and suddenly there was a knock on the door. Aike supervisor was stunned for a moment, immediately closed his mouth, and looked at Lanse nervously.

Because after he came here, Lanse told him that another friend would come over later.

This made him feel a little pressure and nervousness. After all... his identity appearing beside Lanse is indeed a bit inconvenient.

But this is Lanse's request, he can only accept it, not oppose it.

Accompanied by Lanse's "come in," the door of the room opened. Aike supervisor looked at the person who came in in surprise, and Ford supervisor, who was standing outside the door, also looked at Aike supervisor in disbelief.

Both are senior agent supervisors of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and they are true high-level people. They also have contact in their daily work.

It cannot be said that they are friends, but they are definitely relatively familiar colleagues with each other.

They didn't think that Lanse really had other people in the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which made both of them feel a bit speechless.

"Come in first."

Lanse instructed, and Ford supervisor seemed to have woken up, walking into the room quickly. The expression on his face looking at Aike supervisor was a bit strange.

"I don't need to introduce, you must also know each other."

The two looked at each other and nodded with a bitter smile.

Ford supervisor was because of a friend's introduction, and he also indeed felt that Roland was not the opponent of the Social Party, so he defected.

But he didn't know how this Aike supervisor defected. As Roland's former confidant, a supervisor who could be sent out to act, he actually defected to Lanse.

He couldn't help but think about the attack they encountered before. Was everything a performance they colluded with?

He didn't think that was the key to their acquaintance and becoming "friends." He thought that before that, Aike supervisor was Lanse's person, so he took a group of Roland's confidant elites to "die."

Looking at it this way, some places that were not very reasonable could obviously be explained.

He had an evaluation of this Aike supervisor, who he didn't have much contact with usually—this is a ruthless person!

After all, among those who died, there were also quite a few of his own confidants.

Of course, no matter what he thought in his heart, he maintained a smile on his face. "Of course, I often see Aike supervisor, and we also have cooperation in work."

Aike supervisor also nodded.

"Since you have no problems, I don't need to be busy. I have already met your new director this time."

"Although he is a candidate pushed out by the Social Party side, I need you to continue to watch him."

"On the surface, try to lean toward him. He won't clean you up in a short time. When he wants to take action, I will also protect you, if necessary."

Ford supervisor was a bit hesitant. "Since he is our own person..."

Lanse didn't let him finish. "Not yet completely. In the process of investigation, you all know that the Federal Bureau of Investigation is a very special and important department. If it weren't for the tight time, he wouldn't be very likely to sit in this position."

"Before he completely gains our trust, he is not yet our own person in the true sense."

"Besides this matter, today let you meet, also to avoid any conflict in work."

"I asked you to continue to develop some manpower last time, did you do it?", he looked at Ford supervisor.

The latter nodded. "Now some senior agents have leaned toward me."

Lanse was very satisfied, and he also looked at Aike supervisor. "You also continue to develop your confidants, the kind that only listen to your orders."

"After a period of time, I will find something for you to do, let you fish for benefits reasonably and legally, and by the way, let your people gain some merit."

"I must remind you, even if you change a director, you must still be careful, cautious, and don't show flaws."

He said and paused for a while, the atmosphere was a bit serious.

Both supervisors nodded and said yes, as obedient as students in a primary school classroom. ===== CHAPTER 1203 =====
