Blackstone Code

The mayors of most cities in the Federation change frequently, and the mayor's "enemies" are not only the greedy people at the bottom who can never have enough to fill their stomachs.

And then there are the city councilors who are always waiting to replace the mayor.

For example, in some cities, the conflicts between the mayor and the council members are completely open. The council members will criticize some of the mayors' policies and decisions in order to undermine the mayor's prestige and improve their own voice among the people.

Some mayors can last for more than ten years, which is a very long-term mayor in the federation. Ms. Tracy's father can work in this city for more than 20 years because of more than just his ability!

More than 20 years have been enough for many citizens to hate their mayor.

As long as he fails to fulfill some of his promises, the citizens will not elect him again!

Of course, his ability to remain mayor has a lot to do with his brother. There are many believers in the city. With the influence of the regional patriarch, it is not difficult to occupy the position of mayor for a long time.

But even so, the city still needs development, and also needs... the settlement of large enterprises.

For capitalists, whether a region has development potential has little to do with the region itself.

This sentence may sound a bit reversed and a bit self-denial, but it is also the truest aspect.

Whether entrepreneurs are willing to invest a lot of money in a region depends on whether the leaders of the region are on their side.

To put it simply, a city with a bad environment or poor resources, or something else that is not very friendly, is not a very suitable city for companies to enter.

As long as the mayor and the capitalists of the city are very good friends, the city has development potential for entrepreneurs.

Tax exemptions, policy inclinations, even free money and land use fees that are far below federal levels.

These can allow capitalists to see huge profits!

As for those cities that seem to be very good, if the leaders and the capitalists do not stand together, then these cities will lack attraction to the capitalists.

Without tax exemptions and preferential policies, they would still have to face competition and their profits would not be much.

Ms. Tracy's father has received a lot of benefits through his status as mayor over the years, adding up to more than three million in cash, as well as some real estate and high-value gifts.

Because he received "bribes" from these capitalists and maintained a good relationship with both parties, these capitalists opened companies and factories in this city.

This is not an excuse, but a unique political feature of the federation, a combination of capital and power.

These actions are obviously illegal. Once the FBI comes to investigate him in order to attack Ms. Tracey, he will only be more passive at that time.

Now he takes the initiative to surrender... Although he is still passive, the situation has become much more controllable!

The mayor personally called to surrender, which is indeed not a small matter.

Although the director of the Local Bureau of Investigation had received a notification of assistance from the General Bureau of Investigation, he thought about it and personally led people to invite Ms. Tracy's father back to the FBI.

As he heads to the FBI, it doesn't take long for big business throughout the city to find out about it.

The capitalists are a little uneasy. For more than twenty years, Ms. Tracey's father has managed this city into a fortress.

Everyone in every link is quietly making profits and benefiting.

Now the core characters are suddenly taken away by the FBI. They don't know what happened, and they don't know whether it will affect them.

The entire city's phone lines were almost too busy to get through in the thirty minutes after Ms. Tracey's father was taken away!

An hour later, a luxurious team of lawyers arrived at the FBI, hired by the capitalists to try to help Ms. Tracy's father get out of trouble.

At the same time, it also means to explore secrets.

The FBI knew it would be troublesome to bring the mayor back, but what they didn't expect was that it would be this big of a problem.

Prominent people in the city were calling the Bureau of Investigation to ask why they wanted to arrest the mayor.

Not only them, but also governors and regional assembly members have called the FBI, gently or severely demanding that they immediately explain why they did this...

In the FBI holding room, two lawyers from the legal team met Ms. Tracey's father.

"...Don't say anything. After we figure out what happened, we will plan countermeasures, but before that, you can't say a word."

The lawyer diligently kept Ms. Tracy's father secret. These barristers were actually involved in some "scandals." Playing with justice was their specialty, and it was also a method that big shots needed.

Ms. Tracy's father shook his head, "There is no need to inquire. I surrendered myself. And you don't need to worry. I won't say anything that has anything to do with you."

"Take these words back for me and tell them that although I am locked up, nothing will be any different..."

He will actually retire next year, and his successor has been found. Although he has come in, things outside will not stop just because he comes in.

The successor happened to take over his job openly and continue to serve everyone in the city.

The lawyer was stunned for a moment, and after a brief silence asked, "Do you need us to defend you?"

Ms. Tracy's father shook his head, "I wanted to get in. If you defend me and then get me out, won't it be in vain?"

The lawyer grinned and wanted to smile, but couldn't.

"Okay, I'll pass it on."

The lawyer had something to say, and he believed that the mayor knew it, so he stopped talking.

In many cases, what really reassures people is the dead, not the living.

The congressional investigation team also received a call that night and learned that Ms. Tracey's father had surrendered. They were a little shocked and angry.

This was clearly done to deal with them.

If they investigate and find out that Ms. Tracey's father has committed any illegal acts, then the investigation team, as the leading group, can ask the FBI to cooperate with them in arresting Ms. Tracey's father and then return him to Bupen.

But now that Ms. Tracey's father has voluntarily surrendered, the first person responsible for the case has changed from them to the local FBI.

According to the process of the federal judicial system, if they want to intervene, they must either apply to merge the investigation, or transfer the case from the local area to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and then intervene.

In any case, this will take time. The time required to go through the process may be short, but it may also be very long.

The originally passive and uncontrollable situation suddenly became active.

This is his "base camp". Investigating his problems here will only be difficult!

There are too many prominent celebrities and politicians in this city who don't want anything to happen to him. The pressure exerted by these people will make the progress of Eucalyptus' investigation extremely slow!

This may be the old politician's method, simple, direct and effective!

After the Congress learned about this incident, they called the people in the investigation team useless, and at the same time asked people to prepare documents and go to the Federal Bureau of Investigation to discuss the situation, and tried to find a way to get the people to Bupen for trial.

Ms. Tracy also knew the news immediately, and she was not surprised by the news.

After she finished talking to her father, she already understood the ending of their family!

But this ending is within her tolerance!

She may even go to jail herself, but all this is within her tolerance!

Because the "jail" of political strife will not affect her influence, it will only make more people know her and even follow her.

She began to prepare some materials. Since she had chosen to attack from the front, she would not back down.

And this is exactly what she does best!

The next morning, some tabloids were the first to report the arrests of Ms. Tracey's father and uncle.

These tabloids are paid, so their stance is definitely more on Ms. Tracey’s side.

In the descriptions in these newspapers, the two old men were apparently arrested not because they had actually done anything wrong, but because they suffered the fallout from political strife!

Congress was very dissatisfied with Ms. Tracey for exposing the "darkness" of the highest governing body in federal politics, so they began to deal with Ms. Tracey.

Now it was her father and uncle, and soon it would be her own turn.

These newspapers stated that "Once the situation gets out of hand, Ms. Tracey is likely to face many accusations of criminal conduct, but it is still unclear whether these accusations are supported by evidence, appropriate, reasonable and legal."

The content of the report almost clearly stated the "shady story" on the surface, and even several news items from the Conservative Party were temporarily suppressed!

Ms. Tracy appeared at the Bupen City Stadium at three o'clock in the afternoon. She had a public speech today. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying, which inevitably made the supporters at the scene feel a little...sad!

She was comforted by staff and supporters as she thanked her and walked to the podium.

Crying and wiping tears.

"Thank you everyone for your concern, I know it's shocking that something like this happened."

"Overnight, two of my closest relatives were arrested, and it's hard not to wonder if there's any connection between them."

"If it is true that someone took advantage of the power in their hands to cause these things, then I am extremely disappointed in our government!"

"Some people steal high positions and abuse their power. This should not happen in our great federation!"

"At the same time, I also want to believe in the law and believe that the law will give them a fair result."

"If they are really guilty, we will accept all trials calmly."

"If they are not guilty, we need to reflect."

“Reflect on where the power people have given those people has been used!”
