Reborn American Giants

Chapter 144 The first axe to cut the cherry tree

In the next few days, Victor was busy dealing with all kinds of people who heard about it. After the bill is passed, the San Salvador City Government will allocate 400 million colones, nearly 40 million U.S. dollars, to allocate plots of land throughout the city.

, the construction of nearly 200 public rental houses will solve the housing problem of more than 1,000 poor families whose income is only 30% below the regional average.

They only need to pay a small portion of the rent to have a sturdy, warm room.

Although this is only a drop in the bucket for the poor families who account for two-thirds of the population of San Salvador, the main purpose of the entire bill is not government investment. The purpose is to rely mostly on preferential tax policies and cheap land prices.

Bank loan relaxations, etc., are used to attract private enterprises and social idle funds to enter the real estate industry.

Major media have reported on this bill. Victor's name and photo have occupied the headlines of major public opinion media in San Salvador these days. Several well-known programs such as "Weekend Observer" and "San Salvador Focus" have also

Send a message to Victor's Councilor's Office

They were invited to the program, hoping that the sponsor of the housing reform bill could appear on their respective programs and let them get some heat, but the director of the office, Lopez, followed Victor's instructions, saying that Congressman Jose had other matters to deal with, so there was no need for him to do so for the time being.

Please forgive me for not being able to appear on your program.

Unable to invite Victor, these programs had to resort to the next best thing. They mobilized connections, invited other members of the city council or city officials, and invited several well-known political commentators to discuss the detailed provisions of the housing reform bill on television.

After careful analysis and debate, all the people's eyes were focused on this bill, which was closely related to their lives. They did not pay attention to other information published in the newspapers at all.

However, just because the public doesn't care, it doesn't mean that "other people" won't notice that at the end of the day, Victor is sitting in the car with some other business owners and representatives of the congressmen, who are making a dizzying exchange of interests.

When he arrived, Cecillo in the passenger seat handed him a copy of today's "Daily San Salvador".

After a busy day today, Victor didn't have time to look at what was published in the newspaper. At this moment, he took the newspaper handed to him by Cecillo, and Victor flipped through it casually.

Although the news about the housing reform bill is now "hot news" in San Salvador, it is not enough to make the headlines. The headline on the front page of the "San Salvador Daily" is the news that the US government has begun to withdraw troops from Grenada.

The U.S. government invaded Grenada, completely overthrowing the "Revolutionary Military Council" regime established by Grenada Commander-in-Chief Austin and Government Deputy Prime Minister Cold and others, and supported the British Governor Scoon as the representative of the provisional government, completely changing the location of this place to the United States.

For the country, the Caribbean island countries that are very important are under control.

Now that it has confirmed that the mission has been completed, the U.S. government has also begun to gradually withdraw its troops from Grenada amid "protests" from other countries in the world.

In this war, the United States dispatched a total of nearly 8,000 ground combat troops, 15 naval ships of various types, and a total of 230 land-based and carrier-based aircraft and helicopters to completely cut off the Soviet Union and Cuba from the Latin American region.

The revolutionary output ensures its own maritime transportation artery.

Yuri Vladimirovich Andropov, who had just taken over the old empire of the Soviet Union from Bolsheviks, faced a domestic situation of institutional rigidity, official corruption, national economic decline, and at the same time, he was mired in the Afghan war militarily.

The quagmire, the problems left over from the Bolshevik era, became the biggest problem after he took over.

After Andropov came to power, the first thing he did was to deal with corruption. He knew that if he didn't take drastic measures, the Soviet Union would really be over. First of all, he took action against Churbanov, the number three figure in the Soviet Union. This guy was Bo

Lezhnev's son-in-law, in 9 years, this

The individual was promoted from major to battalion commander to general. After Brezhnev's death, Andropov immediately sent this man to prison. All the property of Brezhnev's daughter Galina was confiscated.

8 villas were sealed and she paid the price for her greed.

Because it was busy with domestic affairs, the Soviet Union's foreign policy basically continued the policy of the Bolshevik era, but it appeared to be more restrained and cautious, and did not actively stir up trouble. In terms of foreign strategy, except for Afghanistan, it was basically in a state of contraction.

Victor glanced through it briefly. The struggle between the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, was manifested in El Salvador as the civil war between the Jose government supported by the United States and the Soviet Union and the Frente Martí supported by Cuba.

Giving up and seeing no hope of solution is the "sadness" of a small country.

The second page is different. Two-thirds of the page is all about the housing reform bill and the sponsor, that is, Victor himself. However, Victor did not focus on it. In the past few days, he has become accustomed to these media's comments on the bill.

To compliment him, he focused on the remaining third of the page.

A photo of a middle-aged man was placed above. It is our police chief Mr. Band. He is wearing a well-fitting uniform, which should have allowed him to fully show the majesty and confidence of the authority. However, in this photo captured at the press conference,

, Director Bender looked a little angry. He should have pointed one hand at a reporter in the audience, his face was twisted, and he looked very angry.

The mark is several large black characters: Director Band lost his temper and cursed reporters at the press conference, followed by a detailed report. The author used vivid words and pictures to describe in detail what happened at the press conference.

The gang "battle" in the shanty towns of Nancheng left more than a hundred armed men lying dead on the streets. Such a major case should have been widely publicized long ago, but now the public's attention is focused on the "Housing Reform Bill"

, the media simply “reported” it in an understatement.

But then Victor, a figure on the "cusp of the storm", was attacked on Route 14. This incident was already burning before Director Bender contacted his network and launched a fire-fighting operation.

Among them, several blurry "live" photos of the gunfight scene were bought by several media at "high prices" from insiders, and then used this to set off a new wave of public accountability against the San Salvador Police Department.

The public has also learned from reports that the housing reform bill has just been proposed and is dedicated to providing benefits to those who have lived in the past.

The poor people who have been forgotten by the government, Congressman Jose Victor, who solved the housing problem, was attacked by thugs. This incident made the vast majority of the people angry. Instigated by "people with a caring heart", they held a protest

They came to the city police headquarters on Hayden Street for a "march and protest."

In El Salvador under the previous military dictatorship, the people did not have the right to "assembly" and "parade". Bande was facing a formidable enemy. He deployed anti-riot armed police units to set up defenses outside the headquarters building.

The police, wearing helmets and holding shields, confronted the protesting people. This once again made the wide-eyed media seize the topic. They used spicy writing to criticize the police department led by Band and ridiculed it as "incompetent and incompetent".

Representative of "dictatorship".

In fact, all these arrangements came from Victor's hand. He had not forgotten that Bender once threatened him with a "dossier". This incident was like a thorn, piercing Victor's heart.

Now, after several months of secret arrangements, the plan to deal with Bender has matured, and it is time to completely bury the police chief.
