Face questioning.
Aiken had no way to answer. He wanted to say that FBI set out in the night at the first time, but what can I do if I didn't catch anyone?
Who would have thought that the damn Chinese would actually run to the reservation?
And if this issue is really to be discussed...
I want to ask.
The state capital is sure to win, and you, Renard, will sacrifice your allies and betray your faith. Why does the reservation suddenly change your attitude in the end? Isn’t this the most critical question?
At this time, silence is often the best way to deal with it.
His eyes looked at Msidia who was anxiously making a call, and then everyone's eyes also shifted...
Everyone understood that Aiken should not take the blame, but the Indians should really take the blame.
But it is obvious that he made several calls, but no one answered the results.
In the end, Samuel broke the silence: "You said the reserved land has completed the equity change? It's not that fast, right?"
Aiken shook his head: "It's not a change, but a change of registration. The public announcement period has taken effect from the moment of registration. As long as the other party pays estate tax or establishes a trust and charitable fund in a legal way to avoid taxes, all this cannot be changed. The most important thing is... Rethia has been recognized as a member of the Presbyterian Church."
"The Presbyterians determined that there was no need for formalities?" Samuel frowned.
He also wanted to find some loopholes in the other party.
Only when the Presbyterian Church attends has the right to inherit, this is Rethia's weakness, but in just a few hours, she turned into an elder, which was a bit sloppy no matter how she looked at it.
Aiken has no answer to this.
Rowan looked at Msidia, who, after feeling the gaze, immediately said: "Presentatives' attendance requires a voting of the 'sacrificial group' on reservations, and if more than half of the 21 votes are elected, in a sense, as long as the sacrificial group is recognized, the identity of the elder can be determined. There is no relevant legislation on this matter, it is just a part of traditional customs."
"So, we were all fooled?" Suddenly, someone pointed out the question.
The conference room was then shrouded in the whispers and buzzing sounds, but even so, no one here dared to leave the TV easily.
"So, our overnight expectations have become fantasy?"
"Why did the reservation suddenly change his mind?"
"Seven elders died and nearly a hundred Sioux people were buried with them. Such hatred cannot be easily erased, or... the people on the reservation were forced?"
"At least we still have the right to continue investigating. Last night's explosion, someone must be responsible for it."
Behind it, there were a lot of discussion.
And the few people representing the highest power of the state prefecture have now gathered together inadvertently and lowered their voices...
"It's not right. There are tricks in the change in the attitude of the reservation, and there is a great possibility that it is being subject to coercion."
The few people nodded separately and ignored the TV for a moment.
"Although it may be coercion, they have also succeeded. The press conference guided the direction of public opinion, not to mention the live broadcast of the five major TV networks. In a sense, this matter can be declared over."
"But why are the five majors?" Luo Wen's voice made several people pause, and he continued to say: "The news brought by Msidia is not fake. The explosion attack was confirmed by FBI. The number of casualties is also not fiction. I don't care whether they are coerced or reached a certain consensus..."
"The key point is, in less than four hours, why did the five major local TV networks agree to live broadcast press conferences at the same time? With the energy of the reservation, they can't do this!"
For a moment, several people looked at each other.
The five major TV networks jointly broadcast live, which requires a lot of time to negotiate.
The policy of opening up and integrating the reserved area is indeed shocking, but this is not a news clue that can attract the attention of most people. If any of the five major TV stations can give a short message, it is already a good treatment.
Now, in just a few hours, the five major players decided to broadcast live at the same time. If there is no power behind this, it is simply unreasonable.
At this moment, someone anxiously broke into the conference room and came to several people: "Mr. Luo Wen, the phone number of Deputy Secretary of State..."
When everyone heard this news, their expressions were shocked, including the many members of the parliament behind them, and also curbed the noisy talk.
Luo Wen took a deep breath, left without explaining anything, and quickly.
Taking advantage of this gap...
Renard walked out too, and Matthew immediately followed.
Just when he came to the corridor, he lowered his voice and said, "What's going on?"
Matthew looked frightened: "Dololis did not leave. She called me to go down just now, and then showed me the live broadcast trailer of the press conference of the news station."
"She knew about this and was involved?" Renard frowned and asked a question, but he vetoed himself the next second: "No, if she had known about it, she wouldn't have come and made a big fuss..."
Matthew was speechless and had a mess in his mind. He couldn't figure out what the series of changes in front of him were.
Renard continued: "What is certain is that... Lee succeeds, we all underestimated him!"
"But how did he do it?" Matthew couldn't help asking.
Renard's face was gloomy: "Is this the point?"
Matthew thought for a while and said, "But we still have a chance. The explosion he planned on the reservation will be his weakness and stain. Once we have evidence, he will be wasted all his efforts."
Renard smiled bitterly: "Do you think he wouldn't consider this? Dolores once said that he did the collapse of the Sackman Dam, but did you see FBI have any evidence? Since he dared to do it, he would definitely not leave any handle!"
"There is also Hei Sorkin. If you follow this clue, you will definitely have results." Matthew said affirmatively.
Black Sorkin is a taboo in the military, and the loss of this thing must be investigated to the end.
But Renard still shook his head. He did not rush to speak, but entered the office again and sat on the sofa tiredly: "The reserved ground will block the chain of evidence because they have chosen to admit defeat..."
"In cooperation with Lee, they no longer need to deliver that 35% stake. In short, this stake will be divided by themselves. Do you think they will spit out what they swallow?"
"This is a sharing of the stolen goods. All those who accept the stolen goods will become accomplices."
"Betray Li means betraying themselves, and the result of our investigation is to get a few scapegoats and close the case quickly..."
“More importantly…”
"The federal executives will not see the big thing happening. After the five major TV networks live broadcast, this matter will not be possible, and the state government will even support this matter."
Matthew suddenly reacted: "Phone from Deputy Secretary of State?"
"That's right." Renard nodded heavily, "The open integration of the reservation is the first case. The senior management will attach great importance to this. This is the general trend, but the key to mastering the general trend was taken away by Li Xian."
The implication is that as the contributor to this matter, he will be invincible, with the right time, place and people, and all three are available.
It is difficult for Matthew to accept such a gap.
A few hours ago, they were cheering together to prepare for the celebration banquet tonight...or, earlier, they were Li's ally.
If Reinard didn't choose to betray, then now...
"Mr. Reinard, maybe we can contact Lee? Tell him that this is the result of the Parliamentary discussion, we can't resist, and have been fighting for him..."
Before he could finish speaking.
Renard's powerless voice interrupted him and said seriously: "Matthew, if you lose, you lose. You have to admit it. If you lose, you still don't admit it, and your final dignity will be lost! Li cannot not know my betrayal, maybe... he guessed from the beginning what I would do!"
"So, haven't you noticed it? From beginning to end, he has never contacted us. He has never placed his bargaining chips and hopes on me. My support is of course useful to him, but even if it doesn't... now we see it, he has done a good job!"
Speaking of this, Renard simply leaned lazily on the back of the sofa, and a decayed aura spread on him, and then he didn't say a word.
Matthew had thousands of words like a thorn in his throat.
He still wants to fight for it, not to mention turning the tables, at least what to do... but his mind is blank in how to do it and what to do.
About ten minutes later.
Someone came to call: "Mr. Luo Wen asked you to return to the conference room, and he brought news and instructions from the Deputy Secretary of State."
The person who came actually smiled, which seemed strange to Matthew.
But Renard also laughed: "Is it good news, right?"
"Yes." The man nodded and left first.
The two of them then got up and prepared to return to the conference room.
And Matthew couldn't help but say, "Good news? How could it be good news?"
"It is indeed a failure to obtain the shares successfully, but the open policy of the reservation is another success. The state government will dominate this plan, and the credit will still fall on us. Isn't this good news?"
“As politicians, we are successful, as friends with vested profits, we are defeated miserably, Matthew, God is always fair.”
Matthew couldn't help but pause...
He wanted to say that if he hadn't betrayed Lee, it would be an unprecedented victory.
However, there is no regret medicine in the world.
From beginning to end, Renard's attitude can also be seen. He did not regret what he did because it was meaningless.
Return to the conference room.
The scene is still deserted, but there are also subtle changes.
Anyone who knows it, the Deputy Secretary of State calls at this time must be related to the reservation. As Renard said just now, it is a pity that he did not get the shares, but in a sense, they still gained the advantage.
Everyone was there, and Luo Wen started the show with a smile: "The senior management attaches great importance to the opening policy of the reservation. We hope that we will give certain assistance and preferential treatment to the reservation in the future..."
Everyone nodded, and a definite voice sounded in their hearts.
"Of course." Luo Wen looked at Msidia who had not left yet, "There are some small episodes happening, but I hope that unpleasant things can be forgotten, and everyone should look to the future."
To be continued...
