Chapter 125: Texas United
That makes sense. Several people nodded. As he said, that was how things were. If nothing unexpected happened, the members of the gang fight they encountered today would also become members of the private prison and enter a place where birds sing and flowers bloom.
It's not that there will be no surprises, it will definitely happen! Sheffield is 100% sure. Unlike the continental legal system, the Anglo-American legal system is more in line with what is said in the movie. You have the right to remain silent, but everything you say will become evidence in court. The criminals often answer, "I won't say a word until my lawyer arrives. My lawyer will handle this kind of problem."
Although criminals have the right to remain silent, it cannot change the final result, especially the construction of power grids. If they want to speed up the process, community labor will not be reduced, but will increase instead. This is all predictable.
In the continental legal system, especially in countries influenced by the Soviet system, suspects do not have the right to remain silent and lawyers do not have the right to be present. Once a criminal enters the police station, there is only the familiar saying: leniency to those who confess and severity to those who resist.
In general, we need to talk about reason. This is one of the reasons why things are difficult to handle, so these second-generation officials dare not guarantee it. "The reason is that some Republican state legislators have some concerns on our side."
"What are you worried about? Just make your proposal. Now it's not us who are begging them, but they who are begging us. If you don't believe me, just wait and see! There are also many Democrats going to Chicago, right?" Sheffield laughed and didn't think this was a problem. The law is for civilians, right? As for the police, you can't find a single regulation in any police department in the United States that serves citizens.
The police department is a pure violent agency. Its biggest duty is to suppress citizens. This is especially true for the United States. Helping citizens solve problems is a help, not an obligation. In other words, the police department is hired. They have no obligation to protect anyone. They only protect the rich because they can afford to hire them.
So it is normal that some communities within a street can be full of birdsong and flowers, but also full of filth and dirt. This depends on the social class of the people living there. Many black communities in later generations have been abandoned by the police department because of tax issues, and they have been left to fend for themselves. Everything is tied to money.
Is it so difficult to do something in your base camp now? This is Texas. If even this is difficult, Sheffield feels that if he really wants to leave the South, he will definitely be attacked openly and covertly. He plans to go to the West after the New Year.
"Who is the current Republican leader of the state government?" Sheffield blinked, still couldn't remember. As one of the two major parties in the United States and the victor of the Civil War, the Republican Party overturned the long-term rule of the Democratic Party. Naturally, it is powerful, but in Texas, its presence is indeed not very high.
"It's Wilkins, from Ohio." Carter saw Sheffield thinking hard, and finally started to speak to relieve the embarrassment of the person involved.
"Talk to him. Now that you've come to Texas, you have to serve here. We don't reject any Republicans." Sheffield exhaled lightly and reminded with a smile, "Talk to his family first. You guys are not suitable. Gail and McHale have more freedom of identity."
The latter's identity as a businessman is purer, and his relationship with the Democrat and his father is more diluted.
"Then I'll go! I will definitely have a good talk with Mr. Wilkins." McHale volunteered. Although he had not been back to the United States for a long time, he knew that it was only a matter of time before he had to deal with the Federation.
Having made up his mind, McHale set off immediately. Showing up in person always showed his importance. But Sheffield was busy, and Houston's geographical location was bound to be the focus of the plan. Unless he didn't want to stay here anymore.
"William said, don't be too tough, you should still talk with reason. I'm in a miserable situation. I've been at the port recently. After this guy helped me once, he wanted to use Lisa's affairs to control me for the rest of my life." Gale came to the train station to say goodbye as a friend, shaking his head and sighing, "He always talks about my fiancée. Who can stand this?"
"So you'd better tighten your pants!" McHale held back his laughter. His bronze face looked quite strange. He nodded and got on the train.
Although Austin has a small population, it is the capital of Texas. The capital of the United States may not be well-known, but it is undoubtedly the administrative center, not as unimportant as most people think. Just as New York's economic status is important, it does not mean that Washington must bow down to New York.
Washington may be influenced by New York, but New York can exert influence, not control. Influence and control are two different concepts, because politicians are ultimately responsible for the votes. When they have to choose between the donors and the voters, when it comes to their political lives, many people will still choose the latter and will not necessarily stand shoulder to shoulder with their donors.
McHale chose a sunny day and came to the Wilkins' apartment in formal attire, stated his purpose, and everything went smoothly.
After a brief greeting, McHale got straight to the point. "Since you are from Ohio, you should know that agriculture and industry are not in opposition, just like the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, they don't necessarily have to blame each other. Leaving your hometown to come to Austin to serve Texas, you are naturally a friend of Texans with such a broad mind."
"I wonder what purpose Mr. McHale has come here for?" Wilkins saw that the other party was very reserved, frowned and asked about the other party's purpose.
"Arlington!" McHale said the place name lightly, which made Wilkins straighten his back and awe him. "How can I help?"
"It's just a piece of cake for Mr. Wilkins, but this way, he can gain the friendship of many new friends, not just the friendship of Arlington." McHale smiled and said, "I have a suggestion, the congressman can listen to it..."
McHale stayed in Wilkins' apartment for several hours. When he came out, it was almost dark. The setting sun shone on his face, making it difficult for the waiting driver to see whether his boss was crying or laughing.
Public opinion can be manipulated, and partisan conflicts can be bridged. When Wilkins, contrary to his usual practice, loudly called for faster electrification in the state legislature in order for Texas to develop better, many people were greatly surprised. Many proposals that were wrapped in private goods were also passed directly amid this shock.
"This congressman is not disgusted with Democrats. He is just disgusted with why we have ignored Texas Republicans for so long. Once we pay attention to them, they will be able to get things done." After learning the results of the state assembly, McHale felt relieved. This is a united Texas.
Oh, I see! But that’s how I write, I can only say that I try to satisfy everyone.
