Chapter 130: Krypton Gold Speeds Up, This Is America

[According to a recent report by the Daily Mail, a petition to impeach New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani has been signed by more than 85,000 people. ]

[Especially since the April Fools’ Day mass shooting, the number of signatures on this impeachment petition has skyrocketed, with more than 30,000 new signatures.]

[…As the leader of the largest city in the United States, 59-year-old Rudy Giuliani said on April 2, 1996 that he would get to the bottom of the April 1 shooting as soon as possible. However, the public did not buy it. Starting on April 3, 1996, a petition to impeach Giuliani appeared, and the public's willingness to sign it was strong…]

【……】

“Fuck!!”

Lower Manhattan, Civic Center area.

As the most prosperous city in the United States, New York City's administrative agency is located here.

The entire City Hall is surrounded by Broadway, Park Row and Chambers Street.

The town hall itself still serves as a place for government offices.

For example, it is the meeting place of the Mayor of New York City and the New York City Council, and it is currently the oldest city hall still in use in the United States.

April 5th morning.

Rudy Giuliani listened to the loud protests coming from outside, which were supported by loudspeakers.

At the same time, he smashed the Daily Mail in his hand to the ground.

"Look, look at what they're saying?! They're saying it was all my fault, f*ck!"

Although everything was spoken in English, Giuliani couldn't help but pinch his fingers, which proved that he was of pure Italian descent.

It seems like Italians can't speak without pinching their fingers.

"Shit! I didn't do anything, I didn't do anything! It was that piece of shit from Beantown that caused all this. If they want to protest, if they want to demonstrate, then let them go find that tea guy from Boston!"

Bean guy, tea guy, northern guy.

These are derogatory terms used in the United States to refer to residents of Boston and New England.

Just like in Boston, people often call New Yorkers "Dutchmen" or "Apple Guys".

Rudolph Giuliani, with a haggard face, looked at his angry uncle going crazy.

He was powerless and could only comfort him: "Uncle, don't worry. No matter how much they protest, it's useless. The city council is in the hands of the Elephant Party. You are safe!"

In the United States, the only person who can actually impeach or threaten the mayor or the president to step down is the president.

There are only city councils and national parliaments.

The Democratic Party is currently the majority party in the New York City Council.

No matter how violent the situation is outside, as long as there is no disagreement within the Democratic Party, Giuliani's position as mayor will be secure.

"I don't care about that! Rudolf, I care about your ability to do things! Fuck you, what on earth did you do? It's only been a few days and the situation has become like this."

Giuliani lashed out at his nephew.

Rudolph didn't dare to respond, but he felt very aggrieved in his heart.

Who would have thought that for several years I had to cower under the threat of their hunting.

The people from the five major families in New York who didn't even dare to resist.

He suddenly became so decisive and fierce.

It started on the evening of April 1st, in less than three days.

They actually killed all the members in their group who were close to Giuliani.

You have to know that there are hundreds of people, and they are all their own people!

Some of them are simply their own blood relatives.

The Lucchese family, which had completely surrendered to Giuliani, and even the entire family leadership was eliminated.

The lower-level forces of the Lucchese family were also divided up by the other four families.

By now, Giuliani's influence in the New York mafia has fallen to almost nothing.

The key is the district attorneys who originally worked very well with Giuliani.

Their performance these days is very interesting.

New York has a large population and a developed economy, so there are two district attorney's offices.

Divided into South District and North District.

Because the Southern District Attorney's Office is located on the island of Manhattan, it is often referred to as the Manhattan District Attorney's Office.

That is Robert Morgenthau.

Before becoming mayor, Giuliani served twice as chief prosecutor of the Northern District Attorney's Office.

To a certain extent, it can be said that his base is the power of the Northern District Prosecutor's Office and some regional judicial prosecutors.

But in recent days, Irving Cohen, chief prosecutor of the Northern District Attorney's Office, has been ambiguous.

This guy used to work for Giuliani! If the two district attorneys don't speak, FBI won't do anything.

Giuliani wants to investigate the case and intervene in this incident.

The only force he had left to mobilize was the NYPD.

However, although the newly appointed Police Chief Bratton was appointed by Giuliani two years ago, he is of course Giuliani's man.

But the police commissioner was a member of the Donkey Party, and Bratton was restrained.

What makes Giuliani even more frustrated is.

New York's 65,000 police officers received a donation of 45 million US dollars just a few days ago.

Although this money will not go directly into the pockets or accounts of NYPD personnel.

All of it was donated to a newly established fund called the New York Police Mental Health Relief Fund.

As long as they are New York police officers, they will be performing dental-related surgeries in the future.

They can apply for grants from the foundation.

Dental problems, along with diabetes, have always been the two most common diseases among American police officers.

The frequency of occurrence is even higher than gunshot wounds!

So, after hearing some rumors.

Due to the inaction of the Donkey Police Commissioner in New York.

Even if Commissioner Bratton strictly ordered the NYPD to intervene and investigate the case.

The police in New York still seem to be somewhat idle.

As the mayor of New York City, Giuliani's last resort of intervention had little effect.

The situation is getting increasingly out of control, with hundreds of shootings occurring every day in recent days.

People die every day.

Although those who died were almost all gangsters.

That's one of the troubles.

The second trouble started yesterday evening.

The New York City Marine Workers' Association, the New York City Builders' Association, the New York City Fruit Tree Workers' Association, and the Garment Workers' Association actually united.

They use these shootings as justification.

Call on the New York City Council to impeach Giuliani and remove the mayor from office.

Things had come to this point, and Rudolph didn't think that as a gangster himself, he could save anything.

Doesn't even his uncle and idol, Rudy Giuliani, seem at a loss as to what to do about this?

Looking at his uncle who was still angry, Rudolf thought for a moment and lowered his voice:

"Uncle, maybe you can contact Peter Vallon and his gang..."

Pete Vallone, Speaker of the New York City Council.

One of the local Elephant Party bosses in New York and an ally of Giuliani.

Targeting and cracking down on the five major mafia families in New York was not Giuliani's idea alone.

"You think I haven't tried?"

Giuliani sighed, feeling remorse for the first time, "But those people either ignored me or said they were in the hospital for treatment."

He now feels a little regretful, regretting that he has always targeted those Italian mafia families.

In fact, Giuliani did not have the motivation and ability at the beginning.

Because Giuliani himself is of Italian descent, and his family is even a mafia family.

Giuliani didn't want to kill his own people.

But he had to do it.

He knew very well that he was just a gun and a knife.

A knife that those guys used against the Italian mafia families.

Because Giuliani himself is of Italian descent, his family also has influence within these New York mafia families.

They put Giuliani in office, and this is at least half of the reason.

Working with one's own people and breaking through from within will always achieve twice the result with half the effort.

In a parallel universe, Giuliani successfully eliminated or recruited these New York mafia families during his two terms.

Giuliani was ousted and has made no further political progress.

Italians, ethnic discrimination in the United States.

That is on the same level as the Irish, Hispanics, and Asians.

Their political status is not even as good as that of black people.

It's only slightly better than Hispanics and most Asians.

"So what should we do now? Uncle, the people outside won't disperse. We don't dare to go out now. After all the people from the Lucchese family have died, we are all worried that those guys will target us."

Rudolph Giuliani said.

Giuliani is also a mob family.

However, after Rudy successfully cleaned himself up and took over, the entire family is changing.

But they haven't completely changed yet, at least half of them are still in the gang.

For example, Rudolph Giuliani, he is the current face of the Giuliani family on the mob side.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Too many people have died these days.

Rudolph did not dare to leave his uncle's side.

He didn't even dare to stay at home. He went in and out with Rudy all day and hid in New York City Hall.

Otherwise, Rudolf was worried that he would become like the leaders in his family.

Someone broke into my house and did something to me while I was sleeping in the middle of the night without me noticing.

Hearing Rudolph's frightened and worried words, Giuliani closed his eyes and leaned back in his seat.

"Surrender."

Suddenly, after a few minutes.

Giuliani spoke up.

"Blackburn actually wants to do the same thing as us. He also wants to indirectly control those unions in New York by controlling those mafia families."

"But he is very rich. Very, very rich. If you have money, you can do whatever you want in New York."

"We don't have much conflict with him. Since Peter Vallon and his people can take his money, why can't we compromise and cooperate with him?"

"Giuliani has just gotten out of trouble and cannot be dragged down again."

…

…

[Today, demonstrators continue to gather outside New York City Hall]

[They asked Giuliani to calm down New York as soon as possible. The gunshots that happened every day were too worrying. Before Giuliani came to power, he promised to reduce the crime rate in New York! ]

[The crowd is still protesting, holding banners and surrounding City Hall. So far, neither Giuliani nor Pete Vallone has shown up...]

【……】

With a slight snap, the TV screen turned black.

David Rockefeller put the remote control in his hand on the coffee table and looked at Milo who was sitting on the other side with a half-smile: "Are you very proud now, the behind-the-scenes director in New York?"

“Of course, why not?” Milo shrugged and said as a matter of course, “But now is not the time to be proud. When the Pulitzer family sells their company to me, that’s when I should be proud.”

Seeing that he was not ashamed but proud of it, Old David shook his head helplessly.

There has been a lot of turmoil in New York City during this period of time.

How could Rockefeller, who lived in New Sleepy Hollow and whose base had always been New York, not know this?

“How much has it cost so far?”

Old David placed his aging body in the comfortable sofa chair and looked at his grandson-in-law.

"Forty-five million dollars to the police. Thirty million dollars to those Pete Vallones and thirty million dollars to those Donkeys."

"There are also payments to FBI, the IRS, and others. Add it all up. It's about $150 million."

Face to face with the true king of New York, one of the masters behind the scenes of America.

Milo had no intention of hiding anything.

Old David could find out about these things if he wanted.

And this time he can make a big splash in New York and succeed.

His identity as the future son-in-law of the Rockefeller family played a big role.

In comparison, the identity of the heir to the Blackburn family is not that important.

"$150 million?"

Old David was so angry that he laughed. "You spent $150 million just to subdue a few Italian mafia families and indirectly control and influence a few unions? Do you know what efficiency is?"

"I know."

Milo said with a smile, he stood up and walked to the wine cabinet, fumbling around for a few times, and actually managed to open a secret cabinet.

He took out a bottle of wine and poured himself a glass of whiskey, then turned to look at old David: "Dear David, your wine is really good... Would you like a glass?"

"No!" Old David said helplessly.

This kid has only come to his office for the third time today.

But he seemed to treat this office as his own office.

He even managed to find the wine he had hidden.

It's all Ariana's fault. She should have told him.

"You know, why are you still doing this? $150 million. In the New York mayoral election two years ago, the combined campaign funds of several candidates were less than $50 million!" Old David said angrily.

"My advisors did tell me that I wanted to achieve the same thing. It wouldn't cost that much, about $30 million."

Hearing what he said, Old David stopped talking and just looked at him.

"But that would take a year or even two years. It would require me to keep throwing parties and going to other people's parties. It would require me to connect with a lot of people and have good relationships with a lot of people."

"That's too much trouble."

"so……"

Milo looked at Old David, took a sip of strong whiskey, and smiled.

"So why don't I spend a little more money to speed it all up? Look, now it only took me a little over a month to achieve my goal."

Old David was a little speechless because Milo was not wrong.

If you want to save money, you have to spend more time and energy.

If you don't want to waste time and energy, the best way in the United States is to use money to speed up.

But that was $150 million, and we could have saved more than $100 million.

The old man was about to speak, he wanted to educate his grandson-in-law.

Many times, spending more time and energy can save more money, which is very cost-effective.

"With so much time and energy, I might as well put it into Wall Street or other businesses. With the same amount of time and energy, let alone $150 million, even if it was $1.5 billion, I would have made it back."

Before old David could open his mouth, he heard him say this again.

I saw him take out the whole bottle of Macallan 1926.

It was a bottle of 1926 Macallan whisky.

It was the world's most expensive whisky that old David bought at Sotheby's auction in London, England last year for 2.1875 million pounds.

"David, I have to say your wine is really good!"

This guy didn't even wait for old David to agree or refuse.

He drank the whiskey in the glass and let out a long sigh.

“Strong and mellow!”

After saying that, he picked up old David's collection of Macallan 1926, quickened his pace and walked outside.

"Send it to me, I will treat Ariana well! Goodbye, David, love you Milo~"

"Fuck!"

Old David stood up and cursed angrily, but in the end he didn't chase after him.

The old man just cursed Fuck and Chet a few more times, then sat back on the sofa.

"From his perspective, it seems to be correct."

Thinking about the latest information I had obtained.

This little guy made more than 2 billion US dollars on Wall Street in just a few months.

Then he took out one twentieth of it to do this.

It doesn’t seem incomprehensible.

It's just such a waste.

Old David thought.

This is how those green American dollars are spent by those politicians.

What a waste!
