Selina was surprised: "Transfer?" From the beginning, she thought Brad was going to be promoted.
After all, Brad's abilities and political achievements are there, and there have been rumors that he will be promoted to deputy commissioner of the Los Angeles Police Department.
"Yes." Dustin took another sip of juice and nodded. "Once he is transferred there, he will also need a group of reliable and familiar subordinates to quickly take control of the situation. You understand, right?"
Luke and Selina both nodded.
This is normal operation.
This can also prevent Brad from being tripped up by his subordinates after he arrives at a new place.
Although it is not too difficult to solve this problem with Brad's skills, it will take at least a few months to control the situation calmly.
This is not an ideal start for Brad, the new official.
"I just came to ask if you have any idea of transferring." Dustin looked at Luke and Selina and said, "This is my idea. It's all up to you. Director Brad doesn't know about it. But we have been very happy to work together in the past few months, so besides Elsa, you are my top priority."
Elsa turned her head to the side, too lazy to look at Dustin's old face.
She knew in her heart that if Luke didn't have a close relationship with her and bringing her along could increase the chances of success, Dustin would probably bypass her and discuss the matter with Luke alone.
Luke and the others were not surprised.
Dustin is Chief Brad's staunch supporter, so it's reasonable for him to go over and help Brad.
Luke and the other two are Dustin's die-hard fans, so he wants Luke and the other two to follow him.
Dustin and Brad have different positions, but their methods are exactly the same.
After saying this, Dustin thought for a moment and added, "Also, if you want to transfer, it's best to communicate with Stark Group in advance."
After saying this, he felt very upset, and felt that the chances of Luke and the others agreeing were really small.
Selina didn't say anything. Luke hesitated for a moment before asking, "Can I ask where the big boss is going to be transferred to?"
Dustin hesitated for a moment, but still told him the truth: "You guys just need to know the news. Director Brad (bureau chief, three stars) will be transferred to New York to serve as the first deputy missioner (four stars)."
Luke and Selina were stunned: "New York?"
Luke never thought that Brad would jump directly from the West Coast to the East Coast to take up a position in the big quagmire of New York.
The First Deputy Commissioner of the New York Police Department is appointed by the Commissioner (five stars) and is at the same level as the Chief Inspector (four stars) who handles practical affairs. He is second only to the Commissioner in the New York Police Department.
For Brad, this transfer was definitely a promotion.
Brad is going to New York, the financial and cultural center, and to the New York Police Department, the largest police department in the United States. It is not as simple as adding a star.
The promotion from a three-star branch chief to a four-star first deputy commissioner is similar to the transition from a military officer to a civilian officer in ancient China.
As the old Chinese saying goes, those who work with their minds rule others, and those who work with their hands are ruled by others.
This gave Brad a step up to the position of Commissioner, at which point he would no longer be a policeman, but... a politician.
This is also the reason why Dustin dared to come to Luke to talk.
Following a big boss is one of the best choices no matter where you are.
But Dustin wasn't so sure about Luke.
This young man, at the age of eighteen, already had a fortune that most police officers would never earn in their entire lives, he had never shown much interest in promotion, and he had accumulated a great deal of merit and qualifications.
Luke continues to stay in Los Angeles, and he can still do well even without Dustin and Brad as his backers.
Don't forget, Tony Stark is Luke's real backer.
Compared to the Los Angeles-based super-gangster Stark Group, the first deputy commissioner of the New York Police Department is not worth mentioning.
Luke hesitated for a moment and said, "I need to think about it for a while, okay?"
Dustin certainly had no objection: "No problem."
Luke looked at his expression and smiled, "Is this not urgent?"
Dustin revealed a little more information: "It will be October at the latest. After that, it will not be so convenient to operate."
Luke understood that this meant that Brad's transfer would be after October, more likely in November or December.
Anyone who wants to go there must give the big boss a reply in advance so that they can arrange their position.
Normally, going to New York would not be very attractive to Luke, but it was different for most police officers in Los Angeles.
If you follow Brad, you will definitely be considered a die-hard fan of Brad.
As long as Brad climbs up one more level and becomes the top boss in the New York Police Department, there will be huge benefits for his loyal subordinates.
There must be very few people who can make Dustin ask for transfer opinions, and Brad cannot bring a large number of people with him.
The person who passes the test will also have to endure exclusion from local New York police officers, and the candidate's psychological quality and personal resume must be sufficient.
For example, Dustin's old friend Roger, an elderly man with a family and who had a heart attack, was not on the list for consultation.
That’s all the business is about.
Dustin came here specifically for this matter, and after he finished speaking, he got up and was about to leave without any further delay.
Luke advised, "Boss, the district attorney and the judge told us to take it easy. Why don't we have dinner before we leave?"
Dustin shook his head: "I have a lot of things to do there, you guys can eat by yourselves."
As he said this, he found that his trusted general was still lazily lying on the beach chair, with no intention of getting up. He couldn't help but wonder: "You're not leaving?"
Elsa: "I haven't had a day off for several days. I came here today specifically to take a bath and sunbathe."
Dustin was even more surprised: "Take a bath?" What kind of operation is this? Could it be that Luke even...
"Ahem!" He quickly interrupted his unreliable divergent thinking.
Selina is still here, and his thoughts are purely natural reactions.
Elsa didn't notice Dustin's strange expression and pointed over there, "Selina's special massage pool. The last time I enjoyed it was a few months ago. I really miss it."
Dustin looked in the direction of her finger and found an oval pool with a diameter of three meters: "Massage... pool?"
Suddenly, he was 10% less confident that he could convince Luke to go to New York.
He was always serious, and looked a little lost, but he still started walking towards the front yard.
But Luke pulled him back and walked towards the barbecue grill next to him: "Boss, since we're here, you can always take some home to eat no matter how busy you are."
Dustin didn't refuse anymore. It was not the first time that he had eaten Luke's snacks and packed takeout.
The two walked to the barbecue, and Luke picked up the food box beside him, opened the lid of the barbecue grill, and put the contents into the box.
He was not idle either, and asked casually: "Boss, can I give you two portions?"
Dustin replied casually, "Sure."
But he immediately sensed something was wrong: "Wait, why are you asking that?"
He is the boss of the serious crime squad and an old fellow who has worked as a detective for more than ten years. He has a very sharp intuition and immediately realized that this problem was very abnormal.
