Chapter 114: Akomo's Decisiveness

‘McCarthyism’ refers to the anti-communist and xenophobic movement in the United States promoted by Senator McCarthy from 1950 to 1954.

The cause of this incident can be traced back to 45 years ago. At the end of World War II and the beginning of the Cold War, the House of Representatives passed the House Committee to Investigate Un-American Activities and changed it into a permanent institution. In just one year, 34,700 strikes occurred in the United States, involving 450 workers.

Wan, there are quite a few signs of 'redness'.

The House Un-American Activities Committee declared that "unions have been overrun by red infiltrators."

Faced with the export of red, the upper echelons of the United States were extremely panicked, and anti-communism became the mainstream.

This triggered the "Meiya" magazine incident, in which six people, including John S. Service, a U.S. State Department official and diplomat stationed in Yan'a, were put on trial. The Daily regarded this incident as a "watershed in Sino-U.S. relations."

When McCarthy was elected to the Wisconsin Senate, he illegally participated in futures trading, gambling, alcoholism, corruption, bribery, soliciting women for support, and poor conduct. He was named the "worst senator" that year.

Faced with this situation, McCarthy delivered a speech entitled "*** in the State Department" at the Republican Women's Club on February 9, 1950, the anniversary of Lincoln's birth.

He claimed that he had "a list of 205 people" in his hand. "These people are all members of the Communist Party and the spy network." "The Secretary of State knows that these people on the list are all members of the Communist Party, but they are still drafting them."

and formulates State Department policy.”

At this point, he suddenly became a political star, known as the "Huilin Speech" in history.

After the outbreak of the Korean War, McCarthy launched a "wave of exposing and investigating communist activities in the U.S. government" and even used the excuse that someone in the Truman administration secretly "communicated with the Soviet Union", "betrayed the Chiang Group" and "helped the Communist Party"

**," he called the 20 years of the Democratic Party's rule as "20 years of treason" and pointed the finger directly at the Truman administration.

Later, the "McCarthy Subcommittee to Investigate Un-American Activities" was established to help Eisenhower of the Elephant Party ascend to the position of president. In 1953 alone, McCarthy's committee held more than 600 "investigations" of various sizes, and the persecuted people

Including Robert Oppenheimer, Albert Einstein, Qian Xuesen, Charlie Chaplin, etc...

Using a "fake" list, he engaged in a political blackmail that lasted for 4 years. In the later period, McCarthy really thought that he was omnipotent. In the end, he angered the military in 1954 and was dismissed by "Eisenhower" who had a firm foothold.

Grind and kill the donkey.

Now, Sean is ready to use the real 'notebook' in his hand to play a short-term 'blackmail' to completely break away from the roots of the Dimeo Group in New Jersey politics.

"Akomo is crazy. I have already said that he is completely crazy. He actually killed McIntosh." Tony looked at the people in front of him with a sneer and said in a cold voice: "He has a terminal illness. His son

He turned against him again, he has gone completely crazy, and he will drag everyone to be buried with him."

"No way, why did he kill McIntosh?" an older man asked doubtfully.

"McIntosh resigned because of him. It wasn't him who killed Mackintosh, was it Hal? It was me, Tony, who did it." Tony sneered.

Everyone looked at each other, it was definitely not them, then the only one left was Akomo.

"This is a good opportunity, you know." Tony looked at everyone and said with a bewitching tone: "Those people above are all panicking now. Dimeo has been in New Jersey for more than 50 years, and those people are afraid of being exposed.

Scandal, now what they want to see most is for Akomo to die!"

"Everyone will support us, understand? Now is the right time!"

"As long as we use our strength, we will be able to kill Akomo in one fell swoop. When the time comes..."

Late at night, Akomo was sitting alone in the living room. The living room was dark with no lights on, except for the flickering light of the cigar in his mouth.

After sitting there for who knows how many hours, Akomo slowly stood up and walked out, opened the door, and said to his men at the door: "Go to Bradley's side."

Akomo walked into the villa where his son Bradley was under house arrest late at night and stayed there for two full hours before leaving. No one knew what he said.

At dawn the next day, Akomo got into an inconspicuous pickup truck and drove out of Trenton.

The pickup truck appeared in a manor in Camden City. Akomo got out of the car and was led into the manor villa.

There were already many people sitting in the hall of the villa, all of whom looked quite young. Their eyes looked strange when Akomo came in.

It had only been a week, but Akomo's back was starting to look a little rickety, he was looking a lot more haggard, and he had lost his former domineering demeanor.

"Everyone, I asked Barr to invite you here today." After sitting down, Akomo looked around at everyone, and then slowly said: "I know now you all think that I am crazy, and that those things are all

I did it, but I must say that I am fine."

Akomo nodded his head, "Sober as never before."

"I admit that I did send people to hunt down Tony and the others recently, but what happened before was not my doing. As for the evidence, there is no evidence."

Everyone looked at each other and there was no one to say Jill...

"Just a few points. A few days ago, it happened that the tires on the right side of the vehicle transporting goods exploded at the same time, causing it to roll over. It happened to be at the door of the police station. It happened to be that there was goods inside. It happened that the goods were seen by everyone. It happened that I made an appointment with McIntosh

Someone took a photo when I was there, and it happened that the photo was exposed by the media."

"Don't you think this is all too coincidental? I have never seen it in all these years."

"And McIntosh was killed as soon as he resigned."

"In just one week, everything broke out at once. Haha, I don't believe it if all this is not planned by someone!"

"There is a mastermind behind all this, and he is not just targeting me, but the entire Dimeo."

"Guys, I don't know who is behind this, but if the people behind the scenes are allowed to succeed, my Apple family will be finished, and you will not end well."

Akomo knew that relying on these words alone was of no use, even if what he said was true.

If these old fogies really had vision and smart people, then the largest family in Dimeo would not be Apple.

So, "You all know that I have liver cancer. Originally, I was supposed to be lying on the operating table and undergoing surgery, but now... everything has been delayed!"

As he said that, Akomo's face turned ferocious, "I have two purposes for coming today."

"First, end Dimeo's civil strife as soon as possible, and second, find out the mastermind behind it."

"For this reason, I am willing to abdicate completely after the matter is over, and the position of head of the family will be handed over to Bradley."

As soon as these words came out, a group of people at the scene were in an uproar.
