As soon as Brooks walked to the door, the phone rang.
As soon as he looked at the number, his whole body became stiff from tension.
It's Mr. Berry Crane's number.
Just thinking about it, this call came directly!
It's too fast, it's too fast, and it's impossible to react. The only explanation for being able to do so quickly is that after Zhou Yang's call, the entire senior management of Milligan immediately got up!
Brooks swallowed his saliva, took a deep breath, and settled. Then he picked up the phone and called respectfully, "Mr. Crane, how are you."
"General, do you have time to say a few words to this old man?"
Brooks broke down in a cold sweat.
When calling for the first time, Berry Crane still got into a relationship. From the West Point military academy graduate, Brooks was called a younger brother. Although the two were 20 years apart, when needed, this is How many people want to have a relationship with Mr. Bei Shi Kelan can not achieve the relationship between porcelain and reality.
But now, Lei Lin's junior has become a general, spending eight miles in one stroke, and suddenly he has become an outsider.
"Mr. Crane, I, I, I..."
"General, this old man of mine is just a businessman. He is looking for someone directly. If he is ignorant, he is so tired that you can find the CIA to investigate. I can't help you..."
"Mr. Crane, I am not..."
"General, let's forget about this time. According to the above, I was going to take you down and find someone to do this for you. However, I think we are also alumni, you I found it. If something happened to you, I was also responsible for the incident. So I pleaded with you. Then you will do it to protect Miss Li Xueyin and ensure that she can successfully inherit the Tianxing Group. You can make up for it. General, do things well, don’t think about asking if you don’t know..."
Brooks heard that the blood in his whole body was almost solidifying, and his fear made him unable to breathe.
Berry Crane, that is the Milecan financial emperor, as far as he knows is one of the top power circles of the country, but Berry Crane now has one bite!
Who else would be more powerful in Milliken than Berwickland, able to use Berwickland as an envoy
Brooks couldn't help thinking of some specious legends he had heard before. According to legend, Milliken ruled under a very secret group. The so-called Donkey Elephant Party and the so-called capital tycoons were nothing but agents introduced by this group.
This group was once legendary as a Freemason, and then as a Skull and Bones, but Brooks knew that even if a big guy like Berry Crane had the rule of a Skull and Bones or Freemason, he could only be Among them, the big person who talks is the ruler who makes decisions, not the role who obeys orders.
Now, Berry Crane must also request with humility. This is the true ruler of Milliken.
In Brooks' view, the big man who needs to look up to the clouds is nothing more than an envoy crawling under the feet of the real ruler.
Inadvertently, Brooks touched the most untouchable secret of the Milecan Empire.
But the price of touching this secret is probably something he cannot afford.
It wasn't until Berry Crane said what he was going to do to ensure him continue to complete this mission, that Brooks' blood clotting out of fear did not flow again.
Life seemed to return to his body afterwards.
"Thank you, thank you Mr. Crane, I promise to complete this task perfectly, and I use my life to guarantee..."
Brooks choked with excitement, feeling like he was escaping from death.
"General, in this matter, no, it should be said that your life is worthless in front of this person, so don't assure me, you do your best, if you fail, it will end up not just your personal life. , Because I will also be angry because of it, and before I lose everything, I will definitely pass this anger to your level!"
Although it was a tough threat, Brooks heard the fear and weakness in it!
Mr. Beckland, the top big man, is also in fear!
Brooks thought about the chatty phone that Zhou Yang made casually.
A phone call made the entire Milecan Empire feel fear, what kind of character is this!
Even in the arrogant fantasy, Brooks would not dare to resemble such a character, or that there is such a power!
Berry Crane hung up the phone, but his voice seemed to return to the room.
Brooks stood alone in the dark, holding the phone tightly in his hand, and even forgot to take it from his ear, as if he was still listening to Berry Crane's fear.
Suddenly he seemed to wake up from a dream, and he called again.
The first call was to his wife, Jenna Brooks, the most famous charity activist in Asia and the initiator of several famous charity NGOs.
The charity dinner the day after tomorrow was organized by Jenna to promote her new charity foundation. It invited high-class people, famous entertainment stars, and religious figures from various Asian countries. It was a rare occasion even in Europe and the United States. reunion.
There will be star performances, charity auctions, and after-banquet carnivals.
The main reason for being able to do so is of course that she has a husband like a Korean king, and the other reason is that she is born in a British noble family and has a noble title that makes countless people jealous. On the other hand, Brooks can finally be The commander of the U.S. Army stationed in South Korea is also inextricably linked to Jenna's upper-level relationship.
"Jenna, listen to me now that there is a person, Miss Li Xueyin of the Star Group, who will go to the dinner party the day after tomorrow. I want you to arrange an opportunity to introduce Miss Li Xueyin to everyone and show your closeness with Miss Li Xueyin. This way. Well, you fly over tomorrow and see Miss Li Xueyin. No matter what you have, let it go! No, no, there are some things in it, I can’t tell you, but please believe me, if it’s done this time, we will Earn unimaginable benefits! Yes, nothing else at this dinner is important. The most important thing is to show you and Miss Li Xueyin’s relatives. If you can get some family friends or something... I know, I understand her family background. It's not enough to have a relationship with your family, but she is enough now!"
Jenna Brooks couldn't understand her husband's arrangement.
She was also aware of the Tianxing Group's contention dispute, after all, it was such a big noise. But even if the husband wants to show his support for Li Xueyin, he doesn't need to show any intimacy, let alone talk about family friendships! Just kidding, the daughter of a little Asian tyrant, why should she have a family relationship with her, a noble nobleman in the British Empire, if it is to be passed back to England, it will be laughed to death, OK
But it was the first time she and Leylin Brooks had been married for twenty years that she heard her husband ask her to do something in such an eagerly pleading tone, and she heard fear in it, uncontrollable fear.
Is there anything or someone that can scare Brooks, who is so arrogant in her eyes
It could not be Li Xueyin, but a small Asian tyrant!
No matter how high the market value of Tianxing Group is, it is nothing.
Money is a giant mansion in Sarasota, with a shelf life of only ten years, and power is an ancient stone building that can stand for hundreds of years.
The only person who can put so much pressure on her husband is from China. The bloodthirsty wolves on Wall Street have been eyeing the Star Group. But they can participate in the Star Group's struggle for property, they can persuade Capitol Hill and the White House, they can lobby the Pentagon, but they can't directly put pressure on their husbands!
What makes Brooks so scared
Jenna can’t figure it out, but the fear is real. As a wife, she must stand on the same line as her husband to fight against this fear. "Okay, I will go to you tomorrow and see this Li Xueyin. Miss. Leylin, take a good rest, if we have anything we can say tomorrow!"
General Brooks breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't dare to rest, and immediately dialed a second call.
This call was made to Huck Underwood, the commander of the US Army in Japan.
Jenna is able to use Tokyo as her main base for charity activities, naturally, underwood's endorsement.
As the Supreme Emperor of Japan, the occupying forces of the victors of World War II over the losers, the power of the US Army in Japan to interfere in Japan's internal affairs is far greater than the power of the US Army in South Korea over South Korea. For example, the U.S. Army stationed in Japan can directly decide the choice of Japanese Prime Minister, while the U.S. Army stationed in Korea has no power to decide the president of South Korea.
It's just that in recent years, Milliken has used a more tactful way to influence Japan's economy and politics, and did not use the simple and rude intervention of the garrison. This has made many people almost forget the privilege of the US military in Japan.
However, Japanese politicians will never and dare not forget.
"Huck, it’s me. My wife will hold a charity dinner the day after tomorrow. I hope you can bring your wife to attend. By the way, let Prime Minister Hashimoto also attend. If Prime Minister Hashimoto is willing to invite more people to attend , Naturally it is better."
Underwood and Brooks are classmates of the West Point Military Academy, and they are comrades-in-arms on the battlefield in Iraq. The only difference is that Brooks was born in grassroots, and he has the opportunity to set foot in the real upper class only when he married his current wife, while Underwood is from a background. The playboy of the family, although he failed in the West Point multi-subject, it did not prevent him from graduating with honors. Although he escaped several times in Iraq, it did not prevent him from finally getting the medal. Smash, but it does not prevent him from rising all the way. It is said that his next step has been arranged. In the near future, he will replace the current Pacific Commander and become one of the top few big figures in the U.S. Army.
In the past, Underwood's family was exactly the height Brooks had been looking up to and hoped to reach. He once believed that reaching the height of Underwood's home was to enter the true top circle of Milliken.
But now, he has no idea that the Underwood House is out of reach, because he sees the truly unreachable heights. In comparison, the Underwood House is nothing more than a trivial ant at the feet of others!
Hearing Brooks' request, Underwood laughed on the phone. Compared to his identity, this laugh seemed too frivolous, "Leylin, it's just a charity dinner. It’s important. What’s the point? Are you really planning to use my favor on this? I wanted to recommend you to take my place, not just the commander of the US Army in Japan, I will go to the Pentagon in three years at the latest , I have already arranged a position in the joint chief of staff meeting, and the old guys have already agreed. Leylin, as long as you follow the path I have walked, you can reach a height that countless people can't reach in a lifetime!"
Underwood said this because he owed Brooks a big man. On the Iraqi battlefield, he was hit in the butt when he was fleeing, and was almost captured. It was Brooks who carried him all the way and escaped.
Although Underwood is a playboy with more than success and failure, he has some advantages. He talks about his loyalty and misses his old feelings. Brooks has a life-saving grace for him. He has always wanted to repay him. He personally said that as long as Brooks speaks, no matter what He would do everything he could to do everything, but he would do his best to do this only once, in order to repay his life-saving grace, and of course it would not affect the friendship between the two.
It's just that Brooks hasn't asked anything, and this matter has been delayed. Underwood has now reached a high-level position, and is able to help Brooks, so he wants to arrange his own path, and finally enter the Pentagon like him. , Became one of the top figures in the powerful army of Milliken.
But he never expected that Brooks suddenly made such an irrelevant request in an extremely solemn tone as soon as his calculation was completed.
Although a little joking, Underwood didn't think this kind of trivial matter could be worthy of a life-saving grace, but it was precisely because he didn't understand Brooks' solemnity that he said it.
"Huck, this matter is very important to me. No matter what is exchanged, I must do it. Then I will introduce Miss Li Xueyin from the Skystar Group of Korea to everyone. I hope you can stand with me!"
"Oh, what benefit did Miss Li Xueyin promise you? As far as I know, Li Zhaojian of the Sky Star Group promised a 60% stake in the Sky Star Group to the Mitsui Consortium. Could this Miss Li Xueyin give away the entire Sky Star Group? Here you are? Then what is she arguing about?"
"Huck! Can you help me?"
"Would you like to be so solemn, Leylin!" Underwood whistled frivolously, "Okay, okay, since you speak, then I'll go there, um, the bigger the scene, the better , The more people, the better? You want to praise this Miss Li Xueyin, right? Then I will tell the old man Hashimoto, let several Japanese chaebols and aristocratic families go out to participate, this is the head office."
"Thank you very much, Huck, anyway, I have written down this love."
Brooks thanked Underwood, thought for a moment, and dialed the third number again.
This time, it was called to President Lu Taiyu! (End of this chapter)
