Knights in the big world of American TV series

Auction site.

To be honest... this place doesn't look like a so-called auction house at all, more like a dance party.

Of course, it wasn't like this at first. At least the Albanian gangs didn't have this plan. They did it in France before, but they were not the main undertakers. They were suppliers. They would take unmanned or particularly beautiful people.

Goods' to own 'dealer'.

That is, the kind of broker who travels among the powerful class.

They are the ones who make the most profits. They actually don’t care at all how much the goods can be sold for. What they care about is actually the human resources that this kind of activity brings!

Only when people have done bad things together, can the relationship be free of worries! After all, everyone has their own reasons, and there is no need to worry about who betrays whom. This is also a common method used by brokers.

Of course, there are many kinds of brokers. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a third-way broker.

For example, the person named Remy Denton in "House of Cards". He wanders among politicians, but is not a politician. It turns out that he represents the large company Sancor Corporation, promoting legislation that is beneficial to the company, and looking for the company's role in the government.

the protector of the

Underwood's wife Claire's company donated money in order to maintain the relationship with Underwood; it also donated money to Santino College to build a library. Its intention is obvious. This school is a bridge between the U.S. military and political circles.

People like Remy, in

Brokers are called brokers in American politics. They are active in Congress and other government departments, forming lobbying groups with American characteristics. The United States is composed of thousands of different interest groups, and each group has the right to lobby for gains.

Political decisions that are beneficial to oneself. Brokers are middlemen, and the methods they use are mainly donations to help politicians participate in campaigns or other political activities. As long as the money is not directly sent to the hands of politicians and used by politicians for personal use, it is legal and not bribery.

.

Broadly speaking, Claire is also a broker. By giving her husband "pillow advice" and making Congress legislate in favor of Sanko, she can obtain the latter's donation. The "pillow man" is great, but this is

The background is invisible to ordinary people.

The power of brokers is great. In the play, Congressman Peter wanted to run for governor, but Remi and Sonco "bought" the wavering legislators through donations, so that the watershed bill that was not conducive to Sonco's oil and gas exploration could not be passed. This kind of

The details reveal how bills in the U.S. Congress are proposed and voted on, making people feel how powerful capital can regulate politics.

The alliance between capital and politics is seamless in the United States through the so-called "revolving door". Not just anyone can be a broker, it must be conditional. Remy was once Underwood's assistant and did not do political work.

Then he transferred to a wealthy large company to work for him. The original political resources could just come in handy. This is common in the United States. There are two types of elite groups in American society. One is the political elite.

British, including members of Congress, Secretary of State, President, etc., and one type is the career elite, including financial tycoons, business leaders and well-known university professors, etc. These two roles are easily interchangeable in the United States. According to the Italian sociologist Pareto

It seems that elite convection can achieve an effective connection between academic resources, business experience and political wisdom, maximizing the use of various scarce intellectual resources in the entire society.

This is a good thing, but the bad thing is, who can guarantee that there will not be a strong alliance and the strong takes all? After the financial crisis in 2008, ordinary Americans were tightening their belts and leading to the "Occupy Wall Street" movement.

"Movement, however, Wall Street's financial executives did not lose a penny in year-end dividends.

On the contrary, there is an increase. If you look at the table, there are people in the big companies. The Secretary of the Treasury was "transferred" from Goldman Sachs, the largest financial company. In the play, President Walker once said that he would invite the billionaire Stark to serve as his deputy.

The president, when he makes political decisions, always listens to Stark's opinion.

Logically speaking, the United States has a good judicial system, which can prevent political elites from acting as pawns for powerful capital. However, judicial intervention is more of a formality and cannot determine the substance everywhere. It is perfectly fine for political elites to introduce policies that are beneficial to large companies.

Conducted in an open debate and in compliance with procedural justice. 2000

The "Commodity Futures Trading Modernization Act" passed by the U.S. Congress in 2008, known as the "Enron Loophole", was the result of the bankrupt Enron Corporation giving millions of dollars to U.S. congressmen to influence decision-making. This bill was the result of the last century.

The most radical deregulation measures in the field of financial derivatives trading supervision since the 1980s.

Money can make all the difference. In the past few years, US President Obama spent a lot of money to promote the health care bill. After it was passed, there were repeated worries that the bill would be repealed. Why is this so? The rich are "unhappy", while the poor

There is no money to make politicians “happy”! Brokers and the “revolving door” give

The situation that the United States has "spinned" out of in the past 20 to 30 years is that it has returned to the Gilded Age. Social wealth has been concentrated in a small number of people at an accelerating rate, and class mobility is far less easy than before. Let's talk about the "American Dream" to Americans today. Many

Americans who can't find a job will look down upon them.

The exchange of interests between politics and capital is, of course, hidden. Underwood wanted to "talk" directly to the executives of Sanko, but the latter pushed back and told him that he could only go through agents, that is, brokers.

Because I don’t want to be taken advantage of, but the work behind the scenes must be done perfectly and adequately.

The United States does this, and so does Europe and the United States.

The Albanian gangs are indeed famous, but in Europe, they are naturally ostracized. They cannot hook up with the upper-class bosses, and the bosses will never have anything to do with them, but what if the bosses need their services?

Of course it depends on those brokers!

Brokers are also happy to do these things, after all, this is the best way to develop contacts. When those gentlemen come to play with him, they naturally hand over the handle to him.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After this, everyone is our own people, so naturally it is easy to talk about anything.

But in the United States... Albanians don't have this channel. There's no way, it's too niche.

The Albanian gang can't bring anything that the men are interested in. They can't bring votes to the men... The number of Albanians in the United States is too small. They can't represent an ethnic group... They are too special.

It is a special existence wherever it is.

They are one of the very few Islamic countries in Europe.

In the Balkans, they are not the mainstream Slavs. The ancestors of the Albanians are ancient Illyrians and belong to the Indo-European race. They are different from the Slavic race that later immigrated to most countries in the Balkan Peninsula. Albania is relatively independent from the complexities of the outside world.

The mountainous and hilly terrain has effectively preserved the ethnic characteristics, language, culture, and customs of the Albanians, forming a unique ethnic region in the southwestern corner of the Balkans.

In other words, they are not next to anyone!

Those big ethnic groups in the United States have nothing to do with Albania. Even if they want to integrate into any group, others will not want them!

They cannot unite and have no interest groups.

Donors naturally have no interest in talking to them!

In fact, the upper-class gentlemen will not give away their information casually. They like brokers with status and money, because they have a sense of proportion! They will not mess around! Everyone is under the same rules.

Play the game.

But things like Albanian gangs are naturally hated by politicians because they have no rules!

So, the auction held by the Albanian gang was actually very simple. It was almost the same as the auction of "farm tools" on the streets in the South before the Civil War. Everyone watched the goods bid.

Very messy.

But now it has become very elegant.

Everyone was very happy, and even went wild. They drank wine from bottles, laughed loudly, and then the clothes on their bodies became less and less, and the ugly flesh was exposed without hesitation. The atmosphere was warm and weird. Even the original

Those 'cargoes' were also removed from their shackles and began to wander among them. Their expressions were blurred, and they did not look like they were being forced. It was completely different from the previous numb and life-or-death demeanor. They acted as a role in it.

The waiters and... all know it.

This is a big silver party!

"Are you sure your report is really correct?"

Barry looked at the situation inside through the telescope from the outside, and he couldn't believe that this was some kind of human trafficking den!

"This is a big party!"

Americans like to have parties, especially young people. Of course, such parties are always inseparable from sex, alcohol and drugs, and some even involve crime. But what does this have to do with Barry? Even if a superhero has a strong sense of justice,

I won't stop others from having such a party.

Although this is not a good thing, in the eyes of most Americans, it is not a big deal.

Iris is also very deceived... To be honest, she has also participated in such parties. Especially after high school, her father is no longer as strict as before. After all, once you turn eighteen, you are an adult.

. Although Qiao doesn't like his daughter doing messy things with those brats, but... everyone has their own social life, and Qiao is not the kind of overprotective parent, and does not have such a strong desire to control his children.

As long as he doesn't touch drugs, Joe can accept it... Oh, by the way, remember to take precautions.

Don't kill anyone, Joe will not allow his daughter to become a single mother.

Although most black people don’t have fathers, Joe would never agree to this happening to the West family!

As a child growing up in a black community, Joe has seen too many things like temporary excitement and lifelong regret. Single mothers are not so easy to be. Joe is a single-parent family. His dead father ran away when he was three years old.

Now. He knows how bad this feeling is!

According to a survey report in the United States, the father's position is missing in more than 70% of African American families. Most black people did not have their fathers by their side when they were growing up, and some people did not have their fathers by their side at all.

I don't know who my father is.

When these black children grow up, men are very likely to "harm" other girls and leave irresponsibly after the woman becomes pregnant; while women are very likely to become single mothers and raise the children by themselves.

This has formed a vicious circle, which is even getting worse.

Getting back to the subject, if it was just a simple silver party, there would be no way Barry would go and destroy it...

"It shouldn't be! So many gangsters come here just to have a party? They don't have so much time, do they?"

Iris is also a little skeptical, but the problem is that she knows several of the gangsters. They are all so-called gangsters. These people should not be so free.

However, at this moment, the scene suddenly became intense.

That scene made Barry and Iris embarrassed.

Of course, they were not embarrassed because of this scene, but... because of each other. Although Barry was not a master of love, and had never even been in love, but as a boy, there were a few who were not in the depths of his computer.

How many folders are hidden?

Iris, on the other hand, has gone through a lot of battles. She has as many as eighty boyfriends, if not a hundred. Although this scene is big, it can't escape the trouble.

But if they are with each other, it will be different.

Barry is evil-minded but not courageous.

Iris, on the other hand, simply regards Barry as a younger brother.

So it was embarrassing.

"How about... we withdraw first?" Barry did have evil intentions. There was a voice deep in his heart, telling him to hug the people around him, but he didn't have the courage, so he had no choice but to find something to say.

Iris also seemed to wake up, and said hurriedly: "Yes, yes..."

She felt that there was something wrong with her, she actually had that kind of attitude towards Barry... This made Iris very ashamed! She even felt so dirty. It was as if she was next to a boy who was not yet an adult... In fact, Barry had graduated from college a few years ago.

But Iris never realized this...

"Okay! Let's leave now!"

Barry said immediately, his courage was about to come out!

However, at this moment, the situation changed again.

I saw those girls who were originally in a state of crazy desire, suddenly took out a lot of sharp knives from nowhere, and then slit the throats of the men who were on them or under them who were indulging in lust one by one!

What’s even weirder is that those men seemed to be completely unaware of this, and each one of them was still addicted to the pleasure of the body. Even if the blood on their necks reached the ceiling, each of them still showed no resistance, and even looked like a pig.

Sample!

The whole scene is disgusting and weird!

Blood sprayed into the air and fell like raindrops.

The music was still going on. Those men who had not yet had a partner seemed to be crazy. They ran over and threw aside the victims who had been drained of blood and could no longer move. They continued what they were doing and then had their throats cut again!

Without exception!

Both Barry and Iris were dumbfounded.

Barry didn't even have time to save people immediately...even though Barry had super reflexes.

The Speed ​​Force gives Barry superhuman reflexes. His body can quickly transmit signals to his brain, so much so that he can even dodge lightning. His brain's ability to process information is countless times that of ordinary people!

But the current events are still causing my brain to shut down!
