As more and more veterans arrived in Washington, Congress had to convene again to discuss the implentation of veteran compensation.
The dia was also very focused on this matter, reporting on it almost every day.
And the veterans living in ’Hooverville’ were closely watching this as well.
However, the outco did not bring them happiness because the ssage conveyed was that Congress believed they should not compromise.
This kind of news made them feel angry.
Today, a group of veterans — led by a man wearing an iron neck brace and a helt with a chin strap to support his broken back — protested outside the Capitol Building.
In a high-rise apartnt overlooking the Capitol Building, Donnie watched the situation with binoculars.
"Tonight, Congress is going to vote, right?"
Donnie turned back and asked Mackenzie Pope.
Mackenzie Pope nodded and said: "That’s right, but boss, aren’t we a bit too dangerous here? You know, I have to think about your safety!"
The protesting crowd outside the Capitol Building was growing!
Donnie laughed and said: "Don’t worry, at this ti it’s only the security guards who need to worry about safety!"
The lords inside the Capitol Building never paid attention to these veterans.
If they really cared about them, they wouldn’t be discussing this issue... their discussions are just for show!
At night, when the vote on this bill was cast, the large square in front of the Capitol Building was crowded with veterans.
They were eagerly waiting for the vote results, hoping that the lords inside the Capitol Building could see their lives and hear their voices.
Think of the contributions they had made for this country.
But the result clearly disappointed these veterans!
The Senate rejected the bill.
How would the veterans react?
Everyone who received this news was waiting for the response from those veterans.
Even the lords in the Senate were doing the sa, with so peering outside through the brightly lit windows of the Senate’s flank.
So of the newly entered senators were so nervous that they held their breath, unsure if the thousands of ragged veterans would storm into the Capitol Building.
But those experienced lords next to them wore smiles that were filled with disdain.
"Relax, these people... they are just our tools, when have you ever seen a tool rebel against its master?"
The new senators were filled with doubt.
But the subsequent result surprised them.
When the Senate spokesperson announced the news that the bill could not pass to these veterans, a band started playing "Arica," and the veterans quietly dispersed.
"Haha!"
Inside the Senate, a reckless laugh rang out, which was why they dared to oppose this matter.
These ’tools’ were never the objects they needed to consider.
Facts proved that the current situation was still quite good.
In the days following, so of the disappointed and helpless veterans left Washington, but thousands remained, staying behind in despair and defiance.
In fact, they had nowhere else to go.
On the night the Senate announced its opposition, Donnie left that apartnt in disappointnt.
Donnie was not disappointed in the Senate of the United States, but in these Arican veterans.
Ten years had already smoothed their edges.
Now, these people were all in their twenties and thirties, and they chose to compromise with the U.S. Governnt for the sake of life!
But in the following days, when Tang Fei heard so had stayed behind, he felt happy.
Those who left had completely beco compliant citizens, or rather they were the sheep being raised.
Maybe one day, when those in power saw that their wool was ready to be sheared, they would line up obediently.
Waiting for those in power to shear their wool!
But those who didn’t leave had much bigger roles; they still had a bit of bloodlust, preparing for their resistance!
However, at this ti, the White House and Congress didn’t take them seriously.
"Donnie, I’ve always said, those people, there’s no need to worry about them; they’re just a bunch of sheep. If you need them, just give them so fodder.
Such articles are completely unnecessary!"
In Donnie’s estate in the suburbs of Washington, the Kentucky senator Andre Morton spoke proudly to Donnie, holding a cigar.
Back when Donnie was involved in the Atlantic City Racing Club, he had t Andre Morton.
The two now had a very close partnership.
Andre Morton could take tens of thousands of US Dollars annually from the Atlantic City Racing Club!
In the discussion about veterans’ compensation, Andre Morton had voted against it.
Donnie laughed and said: "Morton, you don’t really think this matter is over, do you?"
Andre Morton confidently laughed and said: "Block, I know you an those who stayed behind, but what can they do by staying?"
Donnie said sowhat playfully: "Maybe they will indeed do sothing excessive!"
