Chapter 754 Capitalist Countries, National Foundation
Facing Mona's puzzled pretty face, Luo An poured himself a glass of water and explained in a deep voice:
"I investigated the disappearance of Jermall Miller a long time ago, but I couldn't pursue it at the time."
Jermall Miller, one of Charles's friends, was named by Roan when she visited an old friend of her mother Beverly.
His mother's old friend didn't know much about Jermall Miller, but he had only heard of the name. After Luo An learned about it, he immediately launched an investigation into Jermall Miller with the idea of taking some shots. Moore-Miller Investigation.
Later, Luo An did find out about the disappearance of Jermall Miller, but it was similar to the case of his father's shooting. It happened too long ago, there were no witnesses, there were no traces at the scene, and the file clues were limited, Luo An couldn't investigate it at all. Go down.
In the land of the Federation, the phrase "live freely and die randomly" is by no means empty talk.
Over the past twenty years, other friends of father Charles and mother Beverly have lost contact or disappeared. Some even died in car accidents, and some were simply shot to death.
Since Jermall Miller couldn't investigate further, Luo An could only temporarily turn his attention to other people.
Just now, Mona introduced that Leighton Perelman was a senior executive of a nuclear power company, and Luo An immediately thought of the name Jermall Miller.
Because more than 20 years ago, Jermall Miller happened to be a manager at a nuclear power plant.
After listening to Luo An's narration, Mona was silent for a few seconds, then turned around and quickly typed on the computer keyboard. After a while, she looked at the information she found, frowned and analyzed:
“More than twenty years ago, Illinois Nuclear Power Company was not as big as it is now.
Four months after the scandal, Leighton Perelman became president and CEO.
It was also after this incident that, under the leadership of Leighton Perelman, the Illinois Nuclear Power Company began to develop rapidly.
In the four months before his promotion, Jermall Miller disappeared, Charles Greenwood died, and the law enforcement officer who went to investigate was shot in the back and committed suicide... Roan, these coincidences are too coincidental. "
Luo An drank all the water in the cup and sneered:
"Yeah, it's more coincidental than winning five million dollars by buying a lottery ticket."
Looking at the information on the computer, Mona rubbed her temples and asked doubtfully:
“Roan, I remember your father, Charles, was an accounting professor.
Jermall Miller works at a nuclear power plant. From a professional perspective, the original exposure incident may have something to do with him, but how does it have anything to do with your father? "
"Maybe it was Jermall Miller who told my father something."
Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly, Illinois Nuclear Power Energy Company is a private enterprise, and the company's business and development are decided by the board of directors.
The temperament of various companies within the federal territory is well known. Social benefits and safety benefits are never the scope of their consideration. Making money and dividends are their fundamental goals.
Therefore, when a natural or man-made disaster occurs, various companies within the Federation will never take the initiative to provide disaster relief. Their key supplies will definitely increase in price at that time. A sudden increase of 50% is considered "conscience", and an increase of 200% is normal.
The federal government cannot interfere in this, because the federal government is a capitalist country. If the government does not allow price increases, is it still capitalism? This is shaking the foundation of the country!
After a few seconds of silence, Mona looked up at Luo An and asked in a solemn voice:
"Luo An, what are you going to do?"
Leiden-Perelman's social status is unusual. He directly uses physical means to keep things simple, but it may also cause some not very good troubles for himself.
Luo An patted Mona on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, thank you for your hard work. Leave the rest to me."
Mona frowned slightly and nodded without saying anything. After a brief discussion, she got up and left the study.
Sitting on the chair, Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly while looking at the information on the computer. He pondered for a moment. He tapped the keyboard a few times and jumped to the Wall Street stock trading platform.
For the next week, several states on the east coast of the Union were very peaceful. During the day, city councilors and state legislators took turns to give speeches. At night, gangsters and robbers took turns to fight or rob banks. The scene every day was full of vitality and everything was going on, and it was very free.
Time quickly came to the end of November, and as they were getting ready to get off work in the evening, reporters from major Jewish and non-Jewish media in New York, Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia found a paper bag in their car.
There is not much content in it. In addition to the Illinois Nuclear Power Company, reports on water leaks in the past thirty years, and the negative impact on the local area, there is also a table with the names of other media, and they are all typed. Check mark.
Reporters from various media outlets immediately understood that all media outlets had received the paper bag.
In order to be the first to publish news, they quickly got out of the car and ran back to the company, discussed the matter with the editor as quickly as possible, and then reported the matter.
On the first day of December, people in more than ten states, including New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey, were in an uproar. The secret had been leaked for more than 20 years, but they had been kept in the dark? !
That morning, a large number of protest and demonstration groups appeared in major cities in various states.
They added "oppose ** wanton emissions" and "people should have the right to know" after the words "oppose racial discrimination" and "the president eats shit", and began to march in the streets, attracting more media attention and reports.
In just one morning, the name of Illinois Nuclear Energy Company resounded throughout the east coast of the federation. Many people living in the polluted area cursed after learning about it and joined the march.
Some middle-class families couldn't hold back after learning about it, because they had also been living in the polluted area and didn't know about it either.
That afternoon, a group of middle-class lawyers stood up and publicly stated that they were willing to sue the deceived people in the polluted area for free and fight for their interests and compensation.
As time went on, the incident became more and more serious. On the fifth day, several competitors for the election said in their speeches that as long as they came to power, they would definitely fight for the rights and interests of the people in the polluted area!
No one knows whether these words are true or false, but what can be seen is that the support rate of several people has skyrocketed in a straight line for a while!
Without waiting for more congressional competitors to enter, many media outlets began to expose the second round of news, which was about the deaths of relevant investigators more than 20 years ago, including car accidents, fires, suicides by shooting in the back... Various ways of death were shocking!
Several reporters with strong initiative even found the relatives of the victims. When the relatives tearfully explained the stories of the year in front of the TV, the public was even more shocked and angry, and the scale of the parade on the second day was even larger.
When they learned that the leader of Illinois Nuclear Energy Company was Leighton Perelman, many people began to make up slogans in the parade, cursing "Leighton Perelman eats shit".
Some businesses saw this opportunity and made dolls and toys that looked a bit like Leighton Perelman at an incredible speed, and sold them to the angry people, allowing them to vent their emotions on them.
After all, this move was suspected of infringing on Leighton Perelman's image. While these companies were selling goods, they had already asked lawyers to prepare for lawsuits.
But Leighton Perelman was in no mood to deal with them at this time. What was making him anxious now was another group of people: Jews like him.
