The Wolf of Los Angeles - Chapter 319

Chapter 319 East-West Coast Attacks Each Other

Century City, Beverly Business Club.

Hawke met Brian who was waiting here in the reception room he had been booked for a long time.

Neither of them had eaten, so they simply ordered dinner and sent it to someone.

Brian talked about the situation at the fire department while eating: “Yesterday, the Fire Department headquarters recruited for the third time this year, and hundreds of people went to the scene.”

Hawke took a sip of iced lemonade and asked, “All women?”

“Yes, it’s all women,” Brian said in detail. “Recruitment was originally about to end last month, but after the first batch, the fire department management has been dragging it down, and the recruitment indicators have not been completed until now.”

He added: “Antonio, who has promoted this matter, has won strong support from feminism. When competition is intensifying, feminism may impact us.”

Hawke was prepared: “Then let’s close the door and let the black guys go up and rush.”

Brian had thought about it before: “I think so too. Steve has a great influence among black people, and he can gather a group of black women at that time.”

Hawke praised, “You have kept up with the times and use magic to magic.”

The door was knocked from outside and Brian’s driver brought a woman in.

This woman is in her thirties, wearing a professional suit, and a shrewd look on her face.

Brian introduced Hawke, which was his first recruitment of female firefighters and sent to the fire department’s inside line.

Hawke asked directly, “Do a civilian job?”

“Yes,” Susan said quickly. “I work in the office to work in information security, unlike those female firefighters who have to receive training.”

Hawke thought for a moment and asked again, “How is the internal reaction of the fire department during this recruitment?”

Susan detailed: “I have been rejected by many people, including me. The relationship between new employees and old employees is tense because the new employees harms the interests of old employees. The normal fire budget was originally very tight every year. This time, $8.5 million was dedicated to gender balance, which can only reduce the welfare of old employees and give up the maintenance of many fire-fighting equipment.”

Brian responded, “I heard that the fire department cleared some of the male employees?”

Susan said: “In order to make room for new female firefighters, many seasonal temporary firefighters have been fired, but these people are the backbone of firefighters. Most of them are at the forefront of firefighters’ work on the front line.”

Hawke could understand that these people were similar to temporary workers.

The American government is at the forefront of the world. For example, wildfires in Los Angeles are all seasonal, so it is naturally inevitable that temporary workers will exist.

He asked the most critical point: “Are the newly recruited female firefighters adapting to this job?”

“Civilian staff are very good and adapt quickly.” Susan’s face changed for a moment, and she quickly calmed down and said, “But with the increase in the number of female civilian staff, the office atmosphere has continued to deteriorate, internal friction is very serious, and work efficiency has decreased significantly.”

Hawke had known this for a long time. There was a recognized phenomenon in Hollywood. Once there were too many women in the main cast members, the set would become a Shura venue.

Last time he met Johnson’s agent wife, the other party mentioned something. On the set of “Twelve Arhats”, Katherine Zeta Jones and Julia Roberts fought to the death, and they were afraid of the twelve male actors and Steven Soderbergh.

These are just two, plus two actresses of similar levels, the crew can break up directly.

Susan continued: “The training of front-line firefighters is very unsatisfactory. The first batch of female firefighters recruited in February should be on duty in early May according to the training rules, and then work and training are combined, but until now they are still unable to take up their jobs and enrich their spare jobs.”

It’s not difficult for Brian to figure it out: “Because the training is not qualified?”

Susan said: “Yes, it’s not qualified. Two female firefighters are not as good as one male firefighter. When the high-pressure water gun is opened during training, they can’t stand it at all. What they privately study is not unity, but criticism and attacks each other. During the rescue training, the two people can’t drag one of the rescue targets. Everyone, including themselves, actually knows that it is not suitable, but everyone is pushing for this.”

It has nothing to do with competence, but a political issue.

Political struggle, or position, is greater than anything else.

Hawke listened and thought, and asked, “Where is the firefighter’s original leadership?”

Susan replied: “Director Morgan is very concerned about this and wants to suspend this plan. He slowed down the recruitment speed later and negotiated with Antonio.”

Brian nodded: “No wonder the recruitment is not over yet.”

Susan emphasized: “Antonio is very dissatisfied with Director Morgan’s work. The dismissal process has been initiated. This month, the firefighters will change a new director. According to the information I have received, the new director will be a woman, a real female social activist.”

In the last paragraph, Hawke and Brian looked at each other.

Brian couldn’t help but say, “Okay, very good!”

In order to please women and gain political support, Antonio’s actions are crazy.

It would be fine if the seasonal firefighters were fired and a bunch of female firefighters were fired. After all, there was still a group of old firefighters. Now we have to build an outsider who is good at social activities. With the deputy director of feminism transferred earlier, Los Angeles firefighters were almost half of them abolished.

This is an industry with very strong professional procedures. When encountering major situations, the consequences of laymen commanding experts are unimaginable.

Based on these circumstances, Hawke thought about the next steps.

Especially inside the fire station.

After saying everything that should be said, Brian asked a few more questions, and Susan quickly left here. Brian came back from outside and said, “I think the Fire Department alone could put Los Angeles in an unprecedented dilemma.”

“This is not enough.” Hawke either doesn’t do it, and if he wants to do it, he will play big things once, and he will never make small fuss.

If you miss a good opportunity like this, you may have to wait for another twenty years.

Hawke said: “Although the Elephant Party has lost its position as mayor in Los Angeles for less than four years, California has been blue for ten years. If you want to take the position of mayor, you will face huge pressure. Instead of letting us bear the pressure, let Antonio and the others face the impact of public opinion first.”

Brian may not be very smart, but the biggest benefit is that he can tell which suggestions are the best for him.

He understood what Hawke meant: “Press up all the chips?”

Hawke nodded slightly: “It is best to defeat the enemy at once and not give them a chance to fight back.”

He said directly: “I will have someone modify several cameras that are easy to carry and recorders. You will give them to the people at the fire department to take pictures of the embarrassment of female firefighters during training and work. The internal dissatisfaction with this gender plan, and if possible, take and secretly record the conversation between Antonio and the current director Morgan.”

Brian understands Hawke’s meaning: “Morgan does not agree with Antonio’s plan. Antonio is preparing to clean him up. This will arouse Morgan’s strong dissatisfaction, but he cannot stop Antonio’s will. When he is forced to step down, Morgan will inevitably have a sharp conflict with Antonio.”

Hawke continued: “Antonio and the donkey MPs who are actively promoting this plan, all relevant remarks, actions and news are collected properly.”

“I’ve been doing it here,” Brian said.

Hawke asked, “Have you decided on this side? Should you launch an election for removal or wait for next year?”

“The election is inclined to be removed.” Brian’s election involves not only himself, but also the Ferguson family, he said: “But what really determines all this is how big a storm I can cause.”

“The tragic experience of the 911 firefighters in New York, the typical cases of firefighters in the California area, can be launched,” Hawke said.

He thought of Susan’s words just now and added: “Aren’t there many seasonal firefighters firefighters firefighters firefighters firefighters firefighters firefighters firefighters firefighters firefighters have been fired? I believe some of them will have a lot of opinions.”

Brian remembered it all.

“If the election starts, you must be prepared to be attacked.”

Which one is worse than the two sides.

“No one is better at this kind of thing than you,” Brian said.

Hawke nodded, “I’ll think of a solution.”

Just as the temperatures gradually rose in June, Fox News launched two special programs, focusing on the firefighters who reported on the 9/11 incident.

The report stands from the position of firefighters and tells the various unfair treatments encountered by firefighters participating in rescue after 9/11.

The New York City government promised no subsidies, no treatment costs after illness, and only a small part of the pension for the casualties.

Firefighters who fought for legitimate rights were forced to disperse several times by the New York authorities, and the leaders also encountered various artificial obstacles in their lives.

As soon as Fox’s news came out, it attracted widespread attention.

The East and West Coasts have never been dealt with, even if New York is deep blue, the Los Angeles Times still forwarded the Fox News report as soon as possible and added a part of new content, saying that a large number of 911 firefighters are currently suffering from illness and are constantly passing away in despair.

The West Coast seized the opportunity and attacked the East Coast without hesitation.

Twitter joined in, vigorously promoting the bravery and dedication of the firefighters in the 9/11 incident, and the tragic experiences today, forming a sharp contrast.

Google and Yahoo are also focusing on the report.

Other media such as the San Francisco Chronicle and ABC, which use the West Coast as their base camp, have come to beat up the fallen dog in New York.

The two major metropolitan areas in California are notoriously incompatible with New York, just like the **** man and Dixie back then.

When it comes to regional disputes, the media in New York are unwilling to fall behind. With the efforts of some foreign journalists, they quickly obtained black news from the fire protection industry in Los Angeles.

The New York Times subsequently focused on the case of several Los Angeles firefighters not only owing pensions, but also being fired after being injured.

There are not many similar cases in California because there is no difference between the two sides in essence.

The media on the east and west coasts had a quarrel, and the miserable treatment of the firefighters was immediately placed in front of the public.

At the latest White House press conference, a press spokesperson claimed that federal pensions were allocated.

New York said it did not receive it.

Washington started arguing with New York again.

The focus of the several parties was not on the group of firefighters at all, but on attacking each other.
