Chapter 769: 264, Deal with the United States Navy
The establishnt of the Tarot Society signified a new phase of Donnie’s influence in the United States, despite the fact that the mbership of the Society was still very limited.
However, the energy that these four individuals could generate was imnsely powerful.
In the following days, the four held several etings to first determine the Tarot Society’s emblem.
The ‘Wheel of Fortune’ from the tarot cards was chosen as the symbol of the Tarot Society, denoting an organization capable of manipulating the fates of individuals, corporations, and nations.
Next, the Tarot Society established a hierarchical ranking system within its mbership, dividing mbers into 13 levels, each with its own powers and responsibilities.
At the sa ti, they decided on the criteria for inviting new mbers, starting with politicians, military leaders, and financial magnates, and later, after deliberation, they added scientists and opinion leaders.
The mbership requirents were by invitation during the initial phase of the Society’s foundation, where an invitation would be extended by one of the initial four mbers. For the invitation to be valid, three of the four had to approve.
Additionally, the four agreed that Tarot Society mbers had the right to help each other, but such assistance was not limitless.
If a mber encountered a problem, they had the right to seek help from the Society. During their first request for aid, mbers were obligated to provide assistance within their capacity, without demanding any return.
But upon seeking help a second ti, the mbers of the Society would render assistance with an expectation of an appropriate reward…
The rules and regulations of the entire Tarot Society were elaborate, and even the initial four mbers had only established a complete frawork. As for the various articles, they would have to be explored gradually.
It was also stipulated that the addition of any new article had to be approved by the majority of the Society’s thirteen-tier mbership to take effect!
After completing this work, Donnie and General Pan Xing t with the current Secretary of the Navy Robert Coontz and his successor, Edward Albert.
Like General Pan Xing, Robert Coontz would officially resign as Secretary of the Navy next year, and his successor would be Edward Albert, the Admiral and Commander of the United States Pacific Fleet.
The three of them t at Donnie’s estate, as well.
However, this ti their eting was not in the tapestry gallery but in the estate’s wine cellar.
After General Pan Xing introduced Donnie to the two n, he closed his eyes to rest and stopped talking.
Donnie then expressed his gratitude to Robert Coontz and Edward Albert.
“Gentlen, the United States Logistics’ ships have been able to safely traverse the seas thanks to your support!”
The cargo ships of United States Logistics, moving between Europe and Arica, encountered the United States Navy’s fleet, which indeed provided so assistance to Donnie.
Of course, senior United States Navy officials like Robert Coontz also gained a portion of the profits from private liquor dealings.
On this matter, Donnie did not shortchange them!
“Donnie, you’ve been to Washington quite a few tis, but I never imagined this would be our first eting!”
Robert Coontz said with a smile on his face.
Edward Albert also wore a smile, but it was clearly not as radiant as Robert Coontz’s.
Noting this, Donnie understood why Edward Albert’s expression was as it was.
It wasn’t because of his own arrival.
It was because of the situation he was about to face.
Xu Zhaopei looked at Fang Yu’s departing figure with complex eyes, then finally said, “Are you really using the Taiyin Needle Technique?”
“Is there any doubt?”
“I suddenly rembered, when I was studying, I heard that the Taiyin Needle Technique is only known by the acupuncture lineage of the Sun Family from Yanjing, whose ancestors trace back to Sun Simiao, and have been in the dical profession generation after generation. If what you said is the Taiyin Needle Technique, could you be from the Sun Family?” Xu Zhaopei asked.
Fang Yu turned around, glancing at Xu Zhaopei, indeed a great beauty.
Xu Zhaopei’s face changed, asking, “Are you really from the Sun Family?”
“A man does not easily change his na, nor alter his surna; my surna is Fang, and my given na is Yu!”
After speaking, Fang Yu walked towards the corridor.
“You’re not from the Sun Family?” Xu Zhaopei followed up, asking.
“How could I possibly be from the Sun Family. I told you my last na is Fang… besides, my Needle Technique is much more powerful than the Sun Family’s…”
It was with Inoue’s advice that Japan began to develop its full potential, naturally extending its national strength to the Far East and challenging Arican interests.
At that ti, with Japan aligned with the United Kingdom and supported by the Philippines and other Southeast Asian countries, the United States could do nothing.
The ‘naval holiday’ treaty was, in reality, aid at the increasingly expansive Japanese Navy.
In such circumstances, Japan was definitely reluctant to agree.
