Chapter 1258: Chapter 430: Campaign Team (Part 2)
Now their counterattack is here, and it’s so accurate and ruthless. It’s also ti for you to co up with a solution.
Facing Al Smith’s gaze, Luke Samora could only say: “I have already spoken with Mr. Rothschild on the phone. He is also very regretful about the current situation, but he asked to convey to you to rest assured that no matter what happens during this ti, supporting you to beco the new President of the United States will always be our most important work.
So our suggestion is not to explicitly oppose this matter. After all, a large portion of our votes cos from the Wet Faction. If we waver, it might provoke resentnt from the Wet Faction’s public!”
At this point, soone in Al Smith’s campaign team nodded repeatedly.
He is a close friend of Al Smith, and since Al Smith started his political career, he has been Smith’s closest ally. This ti, Al Smith has promised him that as long as Smith is elected, he will definitely appoint him as the Minister of the Interior.
This is his personal relationship with Al Smith. At the sa ti, this person has another identity, which is representing the interests of liquor producers and distributors.
Prohibition is not entirely a ban; it’s a very small part. These people have long been dissatisfied with Donnie’s Bootlegging Empire’s monopoly. In fact, behind this person’s interests are also so bootleggers.
On the surface, they are all part of Donnie’s Bootlegging Empire.
But having stayed in the shadows for so long, they always want to step into the light, and these people have also been dissatisfied with Donnie’s monopoly of illegal alcohol across the United States, so they hope for Prohibition to be repealed. Once Prohibition is repealed, they will imdiately start their own liquor brands.
At that ti, they will no longer be bootleggers, but legitimate businessn, and with Al Smith in power, they will receive maximum policy support.
Al Smith was quite satisfied with Luke Samora’s strategy, “Samora, we should all understand that only when our goals are realized, can what everyone expects succeed.”
Luke Samora nodded and said: “We understand that what we need to do now is unite all the Democratic Party’s newspapers to start counterattacking the Republican attacks. We must make the Arican public understand that what we oppose is not the Prohibition itself, but the cri rate hidden under the Prohibition. Only by diverting the public’s attention can we avoid being passive!”
Under Prohibition, bootlegging is rampant. Donnie can allocate the upper-level business areas well, but he cannot fully control the lower levels, even with the help of police departnts at various levels and associations.
On the streets of the United States, people often fight violently over a bottle of whiskey, and so small bootleggers want to get rich in dangerous situations, smuggling illegal alcohol under the dual pressure of major gangs and police departnts.
As long as there are abundant profits, this kind of thing cannot be prohibited.
Seeing Al Smith agree with his views, Luke Samora continued: “In addition, we should appease those Puritans and tell them that even if Prohibition is repealed, it won’t be an unrestricted repeal. We will set very strict thresholds, whether for manufacturers producing liquor, distributors selling liquor, or drinkers, there should be corresponding laws. When establishing laws for drinkers, we need to ensure that won can see hope!”
Listening to Luke Samora’s suggestions, the satisfied smile on Al Smith’s face beca even more evident.
Gale Hols said at this ti: “I’m afraid things aren’t that simple. Speaking first of the increased cri rate data, the police departnts, FBI, they’re all people from Venus Bank. Getting hold of this data won’t be easy for us!”
Police departnts across the United States can be said to be the most direct beneficiaries of Donnie Block’s Bootlegging Empire. They are the protectors of the Bootlegging Empire’s distributors and the nesis of those who dare to sell alcohol independently of the Bootlegging Empire.
As for the FBI!
Three years ago, after Donnie was shot in Washington, then FBI Director Edgar Hoover resigned and disappeared.
At that ti, although Donnie maneuvered to have Rhode Granger take over Edgar Hoover’s position as FBI Director,
Ultimately, this did not succeed, and Tony Sherman beca the second director after the FBI’s reorganization.
But over these three years, Rhode Granger had already, with strong financial power and Coolidge’s support, effectively taken over all FBI affairs as Deputy Director.
As for Tony Sherman, he is still the FBI Director, but now his orders only apply within his own office.
These matters are known to the upper echelons.
“Hols, do you only know how to dampen spirits?” Luke Samora was very unsatisfied with Gale Hols’ words.
Gale Hols calmly said: “I’m not trying to dampen spirits, I’m stating facts. I admit your thod is a good one, but the issue is, if this thod cannot be implented, then doesn’t it give us hope only to shatter it? Do you still want the ‘Wall Street Journal’ incident to repeat itself?”
Faced with Gale Hols’ criticism, Luke Samora had no imdiate solution. His influence was on Wall Street. Now, having obtained the support of the Rothschild family, although his influence had grown, he had no way to affect the police departnts or the FBI.
