Chapter 1857: Surprise

Atlanta, the temporary capital of the Enclave.

Tony Parker was sitting by the street window of a newly opened high-end restaurant, quietly eating his dinner. The dinner was pretty good. The delicate veal steak as the main course was cooked very deliciously, and the medium rare taste was extremely tender.

The head chef of the restaurant also came out specifically to ask about satisfaction and presented a bottle of red wine. Tony Parker nodded with a smile, everything looked natural and calm, without the unscrupulous ruffian of the past.

But at the other end of the restaurant, Herbert, Secretary of Commerce of the New York Fraternity, and Chandra, a government adviser, are arguing. The word hangs on the opponent's head.

The people who dined in the restaurant were all the upper classes of the Enclave. They were all surprised when they saw this, but after the waiter's explanation, everyone shut up tacitly and listened to gossip at most.

The whole story is very simple. The Brotherhood of New York, the Enclave, and the Ba'ath Party joined forces to pit the Aurora Legion. Chandra came up with the idea of ​​destroying Victor Hugo's ban on guns. When domestic and foreign affairs were unable to exert pressure, everyone thought of using economic means.

Hmm... that's a good idea.

But not long after, the Enclave Undersecretary of Defense who was in charge of coordinating this matter was suddenly assassinated, and the clues pointed to the Ba'ath Party. Dr. Osborne, who lived under the sojourn, immediately denied that he had done this, but the results of the investigation confirmed that it was indeed done by the Baath Party SS, and by the way, it also brought out the New York Brotherhood.

So far, the leaders of the three factions discovered a case caused by the uneven distribution of spoils - they wanted to use inferior weapons and old ammunition to pit the Aurora Legion, but the people who handled it felt that they didn't make much money.

To be exact, they don't make much money themselves.

So the weapons of the regular army were also sold.

At first, it was only ordinary firearms that were sold, but soon the spy agency of the Aurora Legion found out about this, and asked to buy other heavy equipment along the way. For the sake of money, the Undersecretary of Defense of the Enclave actually agreed to this request—he planned to make a fortune and leave, away from North America.

In the end, he died because he fished too hard.

The equipment of several divisions was unknowingly sold in this way, which made the top management of the three organizations feel restless. Herbert was sent to Enclave as a special envoy for the investigation, and Chandra, the mastermind of the whole incident, also rushed from San Antonio to finish it.

But Herbert and Chandra were at odds when they met. Now Herbert accused Chandra of being "bought by the Aurora Legion, deliberately planning this kind of smuggling with huge hidden risks".

Chandra yelled at Herbert as "the black hand behind the incident, not to investigate, but to cover up" the fraternity mole.

"Aren't you going to persuade your friends?" Opposite Tony Parker was a beautiful woman who was accompanying him for dinner. Seeing Herbert and Chandra blushing arguing, she couldn't help asking.

Tony Parker just smiled and didn't take it seriously. He is not familiar with the woman across the street, just a bed friend he hooked up with recently. The beauty saw that he was very low-key, and then boasted, "Tony, you are different from the rumors."

Rumors? The rumored Tony Parker is a bastard, a shit-stirring, imbecile, a second-generation official who relies on David Lawrence's backing to make trouble. Compared with Angie, who is very famous and popular, he has long been notorious.

But now Tony Parker looked very modest, he shook his rather handsome head with a smile, and said in a low voice: "Anyone, I mean anyone, as long as they are beaten up by Victor Hugo, they can survive." , then he has to change a bit. Don't you think?"

These words sound like there are countless inside stories hidden, and they are very magical. The beauty didn't understand, but she became more curious, and continued to ask: "You mean, you were reshaped by Victor Hugo, who wanted to be the emperor of the United States? Is he really that powerful?"

Hehehe... Tony Parker laughed bitterly at himself for a while, "My self-esteem was trampled by him, my status was weakened by him, and my life was distorted by him. You say this is not a change?"

Tony Parker's voice is very soft,

The body leaned forward and stared at the opposite woman in a frenzied posture, the pain and hatred in his eyes shot out like a sharp sword. The woman was startled immediately, and then leaned back with a loud ah.

This sudden move also attracted the attention of many people in the restaurant. Obviously, Tony Parker is also the source of gossip information for everyone. But he quickly returned to normal, apologized to the woman opposite with a smile, and continued to chat.

"Herbert is the official investigation envoy sent by the New York Brotherhood, and I am following the order of my uncle to monitor the progress of the investigation. But as everyone has seen now, I am afraid that this investigation will not have any results."

"Why?" The beauty immediately forgot the unhappiness just now, and asked immediately.

"Because a lot of things were doomed before the investigation."

"You're saying that there are too many people involved in this case, it's too complicated, so no one will cooperate, right?"

The beauty told the current Enclave's internal judgment on this shocking case. Everyone knows that Enclave is corrupt from top to bottom, and officials are desperately trying to make money. Even if the newly elected President Biden has been working hard to restore bureaucracy, he can get rid of a big moth and replace it with moths.

Herbert and Chandra at the other end had probably had enough quarrel, and the two angry men returned to Tony Parker's desk, obviously failing to reach any agreement on the investigation.

At this time, Tony Parker tapped the cup lightly with the coffee spoon, and after two crisp ding dings, it attracted the attention of the two companions at the same table. He chuckled and said, "You two, I know what you are thinking, and I know where your bottom line is? Do you want to listen to my suggestion?"

Both Herbert and Chandra looked at Tony Parker with vigilant eyes, and their perception of this kid was not much better. Ever since he was dealt with by Victor Hugo half a year ago, this little bastard suddenly made a 180-degree turn.

After returning to New York, he hugged David Lawrence's thigh and cried bitterly, expressing that he must make up his mind and make a new life. When others thought it was just a trick of the little bastards crying and making noise, he actually did a lot of practical things.

"What's your idea?" Chandra asked.

"We all know that this investigation will have no results. My uncle doesn't really care about finding anything. He just wants to kill all the people who profit from this fraud. Then we will provide a list." , the rest will naturally be resolved by someone.”

The complexity of the arms fraud case is indeed too difficult, and no one wants to jump into that fire pit. It would be a good thing if it could be solved quickly.

Herbert and Chandra looked at each other, and they had to agree with Tony Parker's statement from the bottom of their hearts. Now that David Lawrence is furious, it's better to hand over the list of people involved in the case earlier. They don't have to worry about whether those people live or die.

"So this is the end of this matter?" Herbert was happy to be so relaxed.

"No, no, no..., we have another thing to do." Tony Parker picked up his wine glass, pretending to be relaxed and said: "Since the Aurora Legion is so powerful and difficult to deal with, why do we have to be enemies with him? ?”

"What do you mean?" Herbert and Chandra asked at the same time, both extremely puzzled.

"Everyone is out for profit, why kill each other? I think we should unite with the Aurora Legion. For example..., marry first."

Tony Parker drank the wine in his glass and laughed loudly.

Herbert and Chandra's expressions changed drastically, and they were extremely shocked.

The woman who accompanied the meal was also horrified and couldn't believe her ears.
