Chapter 1390: Caesar of the Present Rome

It was already the afternoon of the next day when Du Fei met Tracy and her husband again.

Although she had put on exquisite makeup, it was obvious that Tracy did not rest well yesterday.

In Du Fei's aesthetics, Tracy was considered to be quite good-looking among Westerners, with a curvy figure and delicate features, but the foundation could not cover the dark circles under her eyes.

In comparison, Edward was in good condition and still looked elegant.

Last night, Tracy had contacted her father and learned about the existence of the "recording".

She had not known about this situation before, and was shocked to hear her father admit that there was a recording.

Even Edward, who was next to her at the time, was shocked, knowing that the situation this time might be more serious than he thought.

After a brief greeting, Tracy got straight to the point: "Du, can you tell me how you knew about the recording?"

Du Fei actually knew such a secret situation, and it was obvious that there was a huge loophole in Wanshengtun.

Du Fei smiled mysteriously: "Tracy, this is not important, and I don't know the details. I can only tell you that it was obtained through secret channels. The reason why I revealed it to you is that I sincerely hope that Nico will pass. He has made great contributions to the friendship between America and Huaguo. He is a true friend and a great politician. I don't want to see him fall under the conspiracy of villains."

Tracy and Edward were silent. These nice words were meaningless, but they also expected that Du Fei would not reveal the source of the information.

Simply did not dwell on this issue and continued to discuss some other details.

Duffy did not provide the information for nothing this time. There must be further transactions.

That night, Tracy and his wife flew away from Kuching.

Du Fei personally sent the two to the aircraft factory and watched the private plane they were riding take off. Then he had an idea and notified Eagle through the mental link: "Start the next plan~"

The next day, the headline of a tabloid in Wanshengtun published an article that "Lockefield is ambitious and tries to get involved in the throne of the commander-in-chief."

Although it is a tabloid, the article is well written. Through layers of unraveling, it finally points out that wealth can no longer satisfy the appetite of Rockfield and their tentacles have extended to the political field.

It is also pointed out that the real mastermind behind the current incident against the President is Rockfield.

Their ultimate goal is to overthrow the President, then ascend to the new throne, rule the entire America, and become the Caesar of the modern Rome...

Especially the final conclusion, it just hits the spot for Westerners.

America is known as the modern Rome, and it was the famous Caesar who turned the Roman Republic into the Roman Empire.

It is too obvious to say that Rockfield wants to become the Caesar of the modern Rome.

Soon this originally not-so-famous newspaper was placed on the desk of old Rockfield.

Looking at the content of the headline, there was no change on the face of old Rockfield, but people who knew him could feel that his emotions were not as calm as they seemed.

A middle-aged man in a suit stood in front of him. He had just talked about the background of this newspaper and the measures that could be taken.

But old Rockfield did not respond, so he could only wait silently.

After a while, old Rockfield frowned and rubbed his forehead. This situation gave him a headache.

There are some truths in this report, but not much.

It is more of speculation and conjecture, and 70% of it is unfounded imagination.

But the views in it can better cater to the curiosity and imagination of the public, which is the most fatal.

Although Rockfield is ambitious in seeking power, it should be silent, moistening things silently, and making people accustomed to it. Even if suddenly one day a Rockfield becomes the commander-in-chief, people will not be surprised.

It's not like now, shouting out before anything is done.

An unknown tabloid openly targeted Rockfield. No one would believe that there was no one behind it.

At the same time, the same newspaper also appeared in Jiao Zhibushi's hands.

Jiao Zhibushi sat at the dining table drinking coffee and frowned slightly at the newspaper in front of him.

At this time, his wife came down from upstairs, saw his expression and asked: "What happened?"

Jiao Zhibushi looked up and handed the newspaper over: "Look at this~"

Barbara glanced at the title, frowned immediately, read it quickly, and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid Rockfield will be in big trouble this time."

Jiao Zhibushi nodded: "They are too anxious and underestimated Richard's power."

Barbara said: "I don't think it's Mr. President."

Jiao Zhibushi was surprised: "Are you talking about Du Fei?"

Barbara said: "It is very likely that if it is Richard's counterattack, this kind of tabloid will not be used."

Jiao Zhibushi thought silently, this is indeed unreasonable.

On the other hand, some people who had secretly cooperated with Rockfield began to doubt.

You know, what they agreed before was that after the matter was completed, Rockfield would only be given a deputy commander, but they did not say that they would be the commander-in-chief.

In fact, there are unspoken rules in America, and almost no real big capitalists can become the commander-in-chief.

The capitalist family and the Zhengzhi family usually reach cooperation through the transfer of interests.

Some families control money, some families control power, but the two cannot be combined.

Once money and power are combined, what will be produced will be unrestricted absolute power. No one wants to see another emperor or king above him.

Although everyone wants to be that emperor or king.

In fact, it is very difficult for Lockefield to become the commander-in-chief.

Especially now, someone has broken the window paper and brought this matter to the surface, which is equivalent to completely blocking this road.

Even the position of deputy commander that could have been achieved is out of the question.

At the same time, in Wanshengtun, the betrayed commander-in-chief Nico also began to act after being angry.

He is still the commander-in-chief and theoretically holds the highest power in America.

Before Du Fei crossed over, the reason why he finally surrendered was because he was backstabbed. Before he could react, the situation was over.

Now, because of Du Fei's intervention, the situation has changed a lot.

Because he realized the seriousness of the situation in advance, Nico decisively and forcibly destroyed the internal surveillance recording, leaving no evidence.

He is the commander-in-chief, and naturally has power and status beyond the ordinary. Even if it is obvious that he destroyed evidence, he cannot be said to have lied to the public without direct evidence. Even if the impeachment procedure is forcibly initiated, it is highly likely that it will not pass.

Moreover, within the party, a large number of people are fence-sitters, and they are good at changing their positions according to the situation.

Seeing that the situation is still in Nico's hands, he immediately defected.

Unless there are special circumstances, Nico can still work for two years, and at his age, plus the various achievements during his term of office, he will be a veteran of the party after retirement, and will leave a large amount of political legacy and continue to have a huge influence. Without full certainty, no one wants to mess with such a big man.

As expected, after some pulling and trading under the table, the original impeachment plan came to an end.

Nico carried out shuttle meetings and lobbying with great efficiency. As an experienced guest, after stabilizing the base, the next step is to fight back.

Simply appeasing can only make people feel weak, and he must show a stronger deterrent.

In this matter, Rockfield is the target that must be attacked.

It's not that he is picking on the weak, but Rockefeller himself is big enough to serve as a warning to others.

Otherwise, who would care if he just crushed an ant~

Another thing is that Rockefeller is the biggest threat to Nico to a certain extent this time.

As early as several years ago, a very powerful Rockefeller faction had formed within the party. Even before that, Nico did not reject this faction and had considered supporting Rockefeller Jr.'s election after he left office.

But that was another price. If he wanted to get his support, Rockefeller would have to pay more.

However, he didn't expect that Rockefeller couldn't wait and chose to attack him at this time.

Whether from an emotional or realistic perspective, Nico had to start with Rockefeller.

Soon, Nico's counterattack against Rockefeller came.

The newspaper with the biggest twist published a scandal of union bribery worth millions of dollars on the front page.

On the surface, this matter had nothing to do with Rockefeller, but old Rockefeller smelled the breath of danger as soon as he saw it.

Immediately prepare to launch crisis public relations, hoping to suppress this matter.

However, some of the methods that usually work well are useless this time.

The prosecutor of the investigation is "iron-faced and impartial", the workers involved are "not for money, but for a sense of pride", and the staff of the relevant union can't be found at all...

This situation is obvious, it is aimed at Rockfield.

In the manor outside Twisting Waist, old Rockfield sat in a rocking chair with a gloomy face, covered with a wool blanket, looking at the snow outside the window.

At this time, a butler wearing glasses knocked on the door.

Old Rockfield didn't look back, and asked lightly: "What did Wanshengtun say?"

The butler said in a deep voice: "I'm very sorry, Mr. Field said he has tried his best, and the commander-in-chief refused to meet with you."

Old Rockfield didn't react much, still sitting in the rocking chair looking out the window, but his heart was like a big stone pressing on him.

Field is a senior senator and the behind-the-scenes boss of the most powerful lobbying company in Wanshengtun, but he still couldn't let Nico give face.

"I know~" Old Rockfield responded, without further instructions.

He knew that this time he had completely miscalculated, and Rockfield must pay the price for this misjudgment.

As for getting rid of Nico completely like he did with Kenny.

Although Old Rockfield thought about it, he quickly dismissed this dangerous idea.

Kenny had that result at the beginning because he harmed the interests of too many people.

But now, although Nico has touched the interests of some people, it was after everyone made a lot of money, and everyone with a discerning eye could see that the war in South Vietnam could not continue, and even if they insisted on it, they would not be able to last long.

What's more terrible is that Nico's revenge did not involve other people, but targeted the Rockfield family.

Others would not take risks with Rockfield...

Sure enough, just the next day, there was a breakthrough in the union's case, which not only involved the Rockfield family, but also another murder case.

This kind of thing certainly could not shake the powerful Rockfield family, but it could cause them a lot of trouble, especially the damage to the family's reputation.

This is exactly Nico's revenge.

Don’t think it’s a bit tepid, but it actually does great harm to Rockfield.

At least because of this incident, Rockfield’s plan to enter the legitimate world, which had been planned for more than ten years, has been in vain.

At least in the next ten years, it will be difficult for the Rockfield family to obtain truly effective legitimate political resources.

In addition, it is involved in a murder case, and it is very likely that the fire will eventually burn on a core member of Rockfield. This is where Nico is really powerful.

Holding the knife in your hand, you can chop it down or not, as for how to choose, it depends on Rockfield’s performance.

However, Rockfield’s size is too big, and even if Nico is angry, it is impossible to shake the foundation of this behemoth, and he can only use this technical means to attack.

This has an impact on Rockfield, but it will not cause fatal damage.

This is America. Even a strong commander like Nico, facing truly powerful capital, can only stop at a certain point even if he hates it in his heart.

It’s like two lions fighting, neither can bite the other to death at once, and the result is often that each can only end up with injuries.

However, Nico's stopping at the right time does not mean that the matter is over.

Du Fei is not done yet...

Just when the case involving Rockfield was making a big fuss in America, an oil field far away near the Persian Gulf welcomed an uninvited guest.

In the second half of the night, the sky was dark, and in the distance was a large oil field of Rockfield in the Persian Kingdom.

The flame tower burning oil exhaust gas was like a torch in the dark night.

This place is all desert, and there is almost no decent vegetation on the ground. It is impossible to hide in such terrain.

A small convoy consisting of an off-road jeep and a truck appeared on the road, driving with a cloud of dust.

The security on the oil field side was very strict. The two cars were spotted from a distance and stopped at the metal fence gate outside the oil field.

A bearded Persian local got out of the car, negotiated with the armed security guards, and took out a certificate.

There were a total of six security guards in black uniforms at the door, all equipped with automatic rifles, and there was a heavy machine gun on the top of the gate.

Generally speaking, it is enough.

At this time, the Persian Kingdom was still the Barre Dynasty, and had a very good relationship with America. It was the only country in the world that had obtained the most advanced F-14 fighter jets.

And although oil is valuable, the premise is that it can be converted into cash in large quantities.

The purpose of deploying forces for defense here is not to prevent theft, but to prevent destruction.

However, just as the security guard was checking the documents, a gunshot suddenly rang out!
