The Wolf of Los Angeles - Chapter 328
Woodland Hills, Los Angeles.
A heavyweight from Washington was welcomed in the Ferguson family’s mansion.
Andy Card is currently the White House chief of staff and one of the leaders in the re-election campaign.
Erica and Brian’s grandfather Paul Ferguson have a secret conversation with him in the study.
“This fire has a great impact on the political landscape of Los Angeles.” Andy made a special trip, hoping that California could have a little surprise and increase his winning rate.
He looked at Paul and said with a smile: “Sir, Los Angeles was the Los Angeles of the Ferguson family before, but the Donkey Party stole the forces that originally belonged to the Ferguson family since the mid-1990s. Don’t you want to get them back?”
Paul ignored these tempting words and asked, “Who are you representing?”
“Mr. President, and everyone who is united around Mr. President,” Andy Card said.
Paul said, “I am old and don’t care much about specific matters. Let the person in charge of these matters talk to you.”
Andy Card has a certain understanding of the situation in Los Angeles and knows that he must be talking about Brian Ferguson, one of the candidates for the mayor of Los Angeles.
He said, “No problem.”
Brian, Hawke and Erica are practicing guns in the shooting range behind the manor.
Paul brought Andy Card to this side and introduced both sides.
When Andy shook hands with Hawke, he specifically said, “Are you the founder of Twitter? You are younger than I thought. Mr. President praised it more than once. Twitter is the leader of online media.”
Hawke politely said: “My honor.”
When he put down his lever rifle, the stock deliberately hits Brian’s waist and hip.
The two have been working together for nearly two years. Brian understands what Hawke means and asks directly: “Mr. President is ready to inquire about Los Angeles?”
Andy is indifferent: “Los Angeles City Hall is controlled by the Donkey Party, and the president needs a proper reason to ask.”
Hawke did not answer the conversation and cleaned up the guns with Erica.
Brian glanced over them and said, “The fires in Los Angeles were raging, citizens were angry, and the security was chaotic, and the support for the Donkey Party dropped to the lowest level in five years.”
Before he came here today, he talked with Hawke about this matter for a long time: “This matter not only involves Los Angeles, but also Sacramento. I will bring the entire donkey party in California into the market, endure the baptism of public opinion storm, and endure public criticism. I cannot guarantee whether it can make the dark blue of California fade, but it will definitely involve and distract the energy of the opponent’s team.”
When Andy heard that the donkey party forces in the California capital could also be brought in, he asked, “What method are you going to use?”
Brian detailed: “Let’s look at the direct victims of the fire, that is, the people whose houses were burned. I have asked someone to conduct a special investigation and statistics. Sixty percent are entertainment stars, sports stars, directors, producers and entertainment company managers who support the Donkey Party, as well as media industry practitioners, with hundreds of well-known people, with an average loss of more than $1.2 million per person. Some of the representatives went to the Town Hall yesterday to protest to Antonio. It is said that the words were extremely fierce. The major losses of interests caused by this fire have caused them to have an irreconcilable rift with the Los Angeles Donkey Party.”
“Big farmers and planters were our base, but in this part of Southern California, the largest agricultural products company is the Resnick family who supports the donkey party. Our publicity will use it as the main point of attack, which will unite the small and medium-sized farmers squeezed by the Resnick family, and attract people who are disgusted by the fire and support us.”
“Antonio asked the state government for help, requesting water transfer from north-central California to Los Angeles, but he ignored the important point. In the first half of the year, the eight major environmental organizations in California jointly promoted the California Donkey Party to propose the “Guardiola Protection Act”, which was rejected by the governor, but the parliament controlled by the donkey Party forcibly passed the bill in a two-thirds way. According to the bill’s provisions, water sources in north-central California are strictly protected, and environmental organizations have been watching.”
Andy’s political sense was keen enough. After hearing this, he immediately realized: “This bill made the California Donkey Party dig a big hole for itself!”
Brian smiled confidently: “Now, all we have to do is push the donkey party into the pit they dug themselves.”
Andy looked at the humanoid target in the distance and said, “The situation in California is much better than I thought. The party headquarters and the President will definitely pay attention to it.”
Brian’s eyes swept over Hawk, knowing that the current good situation was all brought by Hawk.
The Donkey Party once again launched common methods such as environmental protection, feminism and Hollywood stars in California during the election year. Hawke used what the Donkey Party was best at and let them fall into the trap unconsciously according to their usual way of operating.
Even when the matter is finished, the donkey party will look back and will not feel that there is any problem, but will think that they are not lucky.
California now has 55 electoral votes. The general election adopts a winner-take-all method, that is, candidates who obtain most of the votes in California will automatically obtain all electoral votes in California.
The Elephant Party has only been in the past ten years to lose California. Less than four years to lose Los Angeles, and has seized the position of California governor. In addition to the current series of impacts that the current Los Angeles fire will inevitably bring, Andy feels that California can fight, and even if it cannot be won, it can involve the opponent’s energy and disrupt the opponent’s plans.
“It seems you have a complete plan,” he said.
The sound of pulling the bolt came from the other side, and Hawke loaded an old-fashioned rifle.
Brian understands and says, “Yes, my team and I have plans, but more support is needed.”
Andy didn’t show off the rabbit and didn’t show off: “I’d like to hear it clearly.” Brian said: “Start a regular public opinion war and nail the responsibility for the fire to the donkey party. I will take the opportunity to throw out the suburban development plan and forest management plan, and launch an recall election against Antonio in Los Angeles.”
Andy nodded slightly. With the current situation, Brian has a high chance of success.
Brian continued: “This year is the election year, and the influence of the incident will expand beyond Los Angeles, affecting the reputation of the donkey party in the entire state. Sacramento also needs to take action, and they need to make full use of the California Environmental Protection Act formulated by the donkey party.”
“I’ll go to Sacramento soon.” After Andy said this, he suddenly turned to Hawke, nodded to him, and said, “Mr. President’s election publicity is about to start, and I hope to cooperate with Twitter.”
Hawke said: “Twitter welcomes every friendly businessman.”
Andy could understand what this said: “Your company will be our first choice for online publicity.”
After shaking hands on both sides, Andy left first.
Hawke set up his rifle, aimed at a human-shaped target a hundred meters away, and pulled the trigger.
Ten gunshots in a row, and all ten targets fell down.
Hawke lowered his gun and asked Brian: “How much is expected to cost for this election?”
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
Brian thought for a moment: “It should be more than $300 million.”
Erica responded: “Twitter is now the largest online propaganda base.”
The fires are still burning in Los Angeles, and the overfire area is still expanding, and even the media capital Burbank is under threat.
Warner Cinema, Universal Studios, Disney Studios and Paramount Studios have successively announced temporary closures.
The huge pressure hit the donkey party government in Los Angeles. Antonio’s request for water transfer was rejected by Wandefu Water Bank. The water transfer in the central and northern regions was not responded and could only ask for help from other channels.
Las Vegas responded and sent 50 fire trucks and five firefighting planes to help Los Angeles.
But Hawke made Brian prepare early.
The 50 fire trucks were stopped by environmentalists at the junction of California and Nevada. The Vehicle Environmental Protection Act promoted during the California Donkey Party’s administration stipulates that heavy vehicles entering California must meet exhaust emission standards.
After testing, all of these fire trucks did not meet the standards.
Amid angry protests from environmental groups, 50 fire trucks that would seriously “pollute” California air were forced to return on the spot.
Seeing this, Las Vegas simply canceled the plane assistance.
More than this, Toronto, where the Toronto Film Festival, which originally wanted to please the movie dad, was held in Hollywood, urgently called for a stop to the forest plane rescue plan.
Canadians cannot pollute the sweet California air.
Los Angeles was filled with smoke, and the Hollywood Hills, Malibu Hills and Santa Monica Hills were mostly black.
The heavy smoke went south along the north wind, causing nearly a quarter of Los Angeles to be surrounded by smoke ashes.
More than 800,000 people are facing water and power outages.
The city seemed to be cursed by magic.
The current Governor Schwarzenegger arrived in Los Angeles at this time. He had just appeared outside the Burbank fire and was surrounded by many citizens and media reporters.
The actor who had already arranged the program successfully bypassed the governor’s security, came to Schwarzenegger with his child in his arms, and asked loudly: “Why did my home become ruins? Why are there not enough rescuers? Why is there no water in the fire hydrant? Why is it slow to transfer water from the north?”
There were more than a dozen cameras around, and the lenses were all aimed at Schwarzenegger.
“I am a Los Angeles native. I have lived here for decades. A house in Malibu has also been burned. I empathize with your experience!” Schwarzenegger gave the citizen a comforting hug: “I am here this time, and I want to solve the problem and end this disaster as soon as possible.”
Fox TV reporter Halle Wayne shouted: “You are the governor, you can’t shirk responsibility!”
Schwarzenegger looked serious: “I will not shirk responsibility. The Los Angeles City Hall sold the Los Angeles water to a private group, but did not respond or be responsible for it. I will go to Wandefu Group to negotiate today and let them release the water immediately!”
He paused a little and said, “Water in northern and northern California cannot be transferred. Do you still remember? In the first half of the year, the state legislature passed a “Guardiola Protection Act” to ensure their survival water. I have seen many weather agencies predict that it will be abnormally drought in southern California this year, so I rejected this bill to facilitate mobilization of water resources. However, the state legislature launched two-thirds of the process and forcibly passed this bill. Although I am the governor of California, I have no right to violate the law.” (End of this chapter)
