Reborn American Giants

After Safion announced that Victor was successful in his candidacy, Victor did not automatically become a "member". He also had to register with the city council, report to the city council, etc. Different public offices would have different requirements. Of course, Saint

Members of the El Salvador City Council do not work 365 days a year like other government civil servants. Generally speaking, as a city councilor, you will work about 365 days a year.

Working dozens or hundreds of days, the salary is not high, about 14,000 US dollars a year, plus a meal subsidy of 15 US dollars per working day, and then adding some miscellaneous subsidies, it is only about 14,000 US dollars a year.

About 18,000 US dollars is equivalent to the income of a single person in a middle-income family in the United States. Therefore, it is impossible to live a prosperous life based on salary alone.

Of course, this is not a problem for those shrewd "politicians". When you become a member of the parliament, you have the right to make laws. In a democratic society, making laws means having the right to make rules. Everyone will follow the rules formulated by these members.

Working, studying and living under the "rules" of the United States, a year's election in the United States will cost billions of dollars. A small part of this money comes from voter "donations", and most of it comes from various companies and institutions. Talking about money and politics

relationship, there is a saying called "give and

Taking "interest exchange" has very vividly explained how congressmen "make fortunes".

When U.S. President Underwood participated in the presidential campaign this term, he and the Republican Party raised a total of more than 420 million US dollars, and a small part of this money was raised by voters who sincerely supported the "Republican" policies, and among them

Most of them come from 556 "super

"level fundraisers" raised money for him. After Underwood successfully ran for office and became President of the United States, he quickly rewarded the financial backers behind them according to their merits, and one-third of them were in his cabinet.

held positions or became consultants, such as then-Attorney General William French Smith.

In addition to cabinet positions, there are also ambassadors to foreign countries. Underwood appointed 30 of his largest donors as ambassadors to foreign countries in the United States. For example, Kerrick Varger raised $1.2 million for him and was appointed as the ambassador to the United States.

Singapore's ambassador, Martinson Barrezu, also donated $1.2 million to Underwood and was appointed ambassador to Argentina.

In addition to being able to obtain official positions, big financiers also often receive policy support for their companies.

For example, Steven Vestri, who raised more than $1.5 million for Underwood, not only received a position as an advisor to the Department of Energy, but also received $350 million in Department of Energy grants for the four energy companies he invested in.

, it can be described as making “a lot of money”.

In addition to investing in the presidential election, there is also the election of members of Congress, which is also a place full of "money and political exchanges" and very frequent interactions. In American politics, there is a saying of "one mountain" and "one street".

"One Mountain" refers to Capitol Hill, and "One Street" refers to the famous "Lobbying Street-K Street."

On average, there are 45 lobbyists of various types around a congressman. They charge high lobbying fees from companies or organizations, and then use the money to publicize or even bribe congressmen to promote legislation and industry regulations that are beneficial to companies.

HSD, a non-profit organization in DC, once released their survey results in 1983, showing that in 1983, members of Congress carried out a total of 1,363 trips funded by lobbying agencies and interest groups, and the total expenditure reached 1,320

million dollars.

This is true in the United States, and it is also true in El Salvador. Politics is also full of "exchange of interests", just like the San Salvador Construction Industry Association that supports Victor. They donated 100 to the "Super Political Mobilization Committee" belonging to Victor.

Ten thousand US dollars, what I hope is that after Victor's successful election, he will further enact regulations to continue to promote the construction of "resettlement housing" in other neighborhoods throughout San Salvador. This is not a "generous act of kindness" on their part, but a profit from it.

.

Of course, now that Victor has successfully campaigned, no matter what his own needs are, he will also push for such a regulation to further grow "Fandino Construction Company".

…………………………

While Victor was busy with the affairs of his newly become "Congressman", inside the San Salvador Police Station, Christian was sitting at his desk in fear, listening to the sounds in the chief's office with his ears pricked up.

At this moment, Director Bender could no longer maintain his "demeanor" as the director. With an angry look on his face, he poured out his anger at Cleto, the captain of the "Armed Anti-Explosion Police Force" standing in front of him.

"Kleito, you once promised me this matter, and you will definitely make the situation in the Gref family chaotic. But today, take a look, what is written in the newspaper?"

With a "pop" sound, a page of "San Salvador Daily" was thrown on the desk in front of Cleto. Standing in front of the table, Cleto, who was bearing the anger of the director, took two steps forward to see.

The newspaper I opened was on the second page, which published a "shocking" photo of a road called Golodo on the outskirts of San Salvador.

On the river beach under the bridge, photos of 12 people who had been shot were found. Cleto had already known about this. These 12 people were the "informants" he had planted in the Gref family. When he

After receiving a call from the police station below and arriving at the scene to confirm the identity of the deceased, Cleto knew that his method against the Gref family had failed.

Originally, this strategy was very "perfect". As long as some "insiders" were developed among the captured people and then released, in this case, no matter what Victor chose, he would face a dilemma.

Are all these people "cleaned up"? Then everyone at the bottom of the Gref family will be in danger, and everyone will wonder whether they will face the same "fate" in the future.

What if we don't deal with it? Cleto doesn't care, but from now on, the Gref family will have to worry that some of their "actions" will be discovered by the police, and they will suffer losses.

Regardless of success or failure, the biggest winner is and will only be Clayto. However, Clayto obviously underestimated his opponent. He did not expect that Victor would respond to his "plan" so quickly. The result was

He failed miserably.

"Director, these people are all the people I placed in the Gref family this time, but now..." Clayto put down the newspaper in his hand and said to Bender: "I'm not shirk responsibility, but this matter is obvious.

A piece of information was revealed, and the identity of these people was exposed."

"I have already been to the scene, and I can see that they were shot in an "execution style". Everyone had their hands tied, and then the executioner came from behind..." Cleto raised his right hand.

, made a "pistol" motion, then pointed at the back of his head, and made a "pop" sound from his mouth, the sound of a pistol being fired.

In the deep night, in the open fields, the green weeds had just been soaked with dew. A row of 12 people with their hands tied behind their backs and their eyes blindfolded were kneeling on the ground. They twisted their bodies uneasily.

They wanted to break free, but they were held tightly by two big men behind them. They knew that a armed militant stood behind them, announcing their final "destiny", and then, there was a series of gunshots...

…

Bender looked at Clayto's actions, and such a picture appeared in his mind. Gradually, the angry look on his face disappeared, and he stared at a pen holder on his desk, lost in thought.

What Cleto said is correct. There is only one possibility to find the police "insiders" among these people so quickly and accurately, and that is the "intelligence leak" within the police. Who in the police station will

The identity files of these people were revealed to Victor? If this issue is not investigated first, Bender will simply have trouble sleeping and eating. Otherwise, as soon as he makes any move here, Victor will immediately know about it, and everyone can still "play happily"

"?"

This matter must be investigated clearly, Bender thought secretly in his heart, and at the same time looked at Cleto who was standing in front of him in a standard posture with suspicious eyes. He had left this matter to Cleto to handle.

Not many people in the police station knew about it, even the deputy chiefs. Now that the information had been leaked, of course it couldn't be him, so how many people were left?

Of course Clayto didn't know that Director Bender was doubting him. He said to Bender who was lost in thought: "But this thing is also a good thing." When Bender came back to his senses and heard his words, he looked at him with doubts.

While looking at him, Cleto continued: "The intelligence was leaked, which proved that we

Someone within the police station leaked information. Although this leaker caused our first step to fail, his exposure now also prevents us from leaking it at a critical moment in our plan in the future, which would be more serious than it is now.

There are many, so I say this is also a good thing."

Bender nodded silently after hearing this. Cleto's words were very reasonable, "I'll leave this matter to you. I must find this leaker."

"Yes, Director, where is the Naglev family...?"

"Let's stop for now. Pay close attention to their movements recently, but don't take any action." Bender rubbed his brow and waved his hand, indicating that Cleito could go down.
