Chapter 573: neurological tissue
John basically spends a sum of money every month to visit political friends who he may not be familiar with.
Some require a personal visit from Kane or even John.
For example, Director Baylor of Heishui Town, the Director of the Municipal Health Bureau, the Director of the Construction Bureau, the Director of the Wharf and Shipping Bureau, and the other three congressmen who have a close relationship with Kane except Congressman Edwin.
But when John doesn't have time to go, Kane will solve these problems by himself, at least in the days when he is away, Kane communicates well with them.
He didn't know the news about Javier's coming to the Thieves' Land, and he didn't need someone to tell him about such a trivial matter.
John was familiar with Javier, but there was no need for John to meet him in person, at least everyone thought so.
After drinking with Zuo En and Derek all afternoon, after drinking them down, he looked at the time, gave instructions to the people in the tavern, and left here.
However, as soon as he went out, he saw two members of the detective agency waiting at the door.
"Are you waiting for me?" John asked, smoking a cigarette.
"Yes, sir, Kane asked us to come and let you know, if sir is free to visit him now~ he has something to talk to you about." One of them nodded in response.
"Where is he?" John asked.
"In the building behind the detective agency, his office."
"Then let's go, I'm too busy now~" John signaled them to lead the way.
The three came to Kane's office building.
Then they walked into Kane's office under the leadership of the two.
Kane was flipping through the day's documents behind the low-key and luxurious desk.
When he saw someone coming in, he looked up, and he was not surprised to see John and said to him, "Sit casually, make him a cup of tea, and wait until I finish reading these things."
"Hmm~" John nodded and sat on the sofa beside him. The members of the detective agency brought him and left the room. After a while, someone brought him a cup of hot tea.
John watched as Kane was processing the documents in his hand without making a sound.
After about twenty minutes, Kane finally stopped what he was doing and looked up, and then saw John lying on the sofa and falling asleep.
Kane showed a helpless look, and then shouted, "Hey~ you bastard!"
John, who was yelled at, also woke up, and then stretched his waist, "Ah~~~ I just drank some wine with Zuo En and the others, and fell asleep accidentally, by the way, what do you want from me?"
"Oh~ There is indeed a big event, John~ Do you know the Federation's Temperance League?" Kane asked.
John looked up at the ceiling, and then said, "Which group of extreme psychopaths appeared in Blackwater Town?"
The Prohibition League, in John's view, is a group of out-and-out psychopaths and fanatics.
At this time, the United States was still a country of Puritans and Protestants, and the Bible also said that drinking alcohol was bad.
So some extremists blame the alcohol for the root cause of some people dying on the street due to drunkenness.
For every worker who dies drunk on the street, there may be a family collapsed behind him.
So this group of people's attitude towards prohibition is getting stronger and stronger.
Their organization has grown from tens of millions of people at the beginning to hundreds of thousands today, and their voting rights have a natural advantage over politicians.
In order to obtain these hundreds of thousands of votes, politicians have also called on the government to strengthen alcohol prohibition in order to obtain the votes of this hundreds of thousands of organizations.
"Following my investigation, during Director Leiter's tenure, he banned these cult organizations and arrested them many times on the grounds of instigating and undermining racial integration in the United States. He even arrested more than a dozen of them in a month. Second-rate."
"Under Director Leiter's high-handed policy, the Prohibition League once disappeared in Blackwater Town, but the latest news is that they have returned. And~their goal this time is very clear." Kane said with regret.
"What's the attitude of the city government?" John asked, taking out a cigarette and smoking one by himself.
"The mayor's term of office is about to expire, and many councilors will participate in the election. The mayor needs a high number of votes to continue serving, and this group of psychopaths has more than 20,000 votes, which is very important." Kane said.
"Both the mayor and councilors don't allow us to do anything to this group of psychopaths. Director Baylor has nothing to do. He doesn't have the ability and strength of Director Leiter to overwhelm the sky with one hand. Some councilors even publicly stated that they are staunch supporters of the Temperance League and swore an oath Alcohol is the plague spread by Satan." Kane said with a headache.
John also felt a headache when he heard the news.
"20,000 votes? How many votes do we have?" John asked naughtily.
Kane looked up at John and calculated the accounts for John, "Including our thief leader, the ranch's factory in Blackwater Town, the detective agency, the tavern restaurant, and the gang members in the East District, it is estimated that there are fourteen hundred. votes, but more than two-thirds of the votes are uncertain, and the most actual number of votes should be less than 400 votes."
"Twenty thousand votes and four hundred votes~ Damn it! I hate this kind of democratic voting mechanism." John made a rare swear word.
This group of psychopaths has high religious beliefs, and the number of people they registered in Heishui Town voted for more than 20,000 real votes. This has a decisive effect on the mayor who wants to be re-elected, and on the group of councilors who want to be elected as mayor. is also like this.
"Kane, they can't come back, and even if they come back, they won't be allowed to influence the city government's policies through voting, let alone hinder our bootlegging business, which is the mainstay of our family business!" The more John thought about it, the more he felt Very serious.
"I know~ That's why I called you here. Although our taverns and restaurants have started to make profits, they can't support our other industries. It's not long before we started. We need the profits from bootleg liquor to support them. And the profits from bootleg liquor are too big , We have no reason to give up, and our contacts do not support us to give up the bootlegging industry." Kane then explained further.
"What are they going to do? What are they going to do?" John asked to himself.
"John~I need to discuss with you today~www.NovelMTL.com~This is a very difficult question." Kane said looking at John.
"I know, then I'll go back first, and we'll talk about this issue tonight." John got up and left Kane's office irritably.
Kane didn't say much, and after he left, he half-lyed on the sofa chair, and seemed to be thinking about the countermeasures for this matter.
"I hate crazy!" John rode his horse towards the manor, thinking about how to deal with these religious people.
With their support, whether it is elected or re-elected, the authorities must respond to this organization of 20,000 people.
And the only goal of this organization is to prohibit alcohol and the sale of bootleg alcohol.
And he is the largest bootlegger in Yin Lisha Baizhou, almost monopolizing the industry, no matter what compromise he will have to pay a huge price.
"I can't kill all 20,000 people, I don't have the ability~" John sighed melancholy on horseback.
