The California Clique is formidable, but our money is enough to support our own ideas, especially since they’re not necessarily that close.”
Temir still seed anxious.
“But that’s the California Clique…”
Cheng Daqi was truly at ease, smiling as he replied.
“Politicians are politicians, the governnt is the governnt, the parliant is the parliant, civil servants are civil servants.
What we need to do is to et force with force and counteract accordingly.
Why do I think those two amateur gunn were sent by him?
Because he knows I’m the smartest one by your side, so he gave a warning before making a move.”
Temir didn’t quite buy Cheng Daqi’s bluff.
“You’re not a worm in Achilles’s belly, how would you know so much?”
“Honey, I like this thick-skinned, boastful look of yours.”
“We had a decent relationship with Gru before, well, probably decent, but now that’s turned sour, too.
Why do you think Niu Sen and Achilles could easily work together?”
—————–
“Achilles…
Temir, Mr.
Niu Sen, is there any way to stop that man or Achilles’s actions?
When the situation escalates, uncontrollable factors will increase.”
We’ve discussed Gru’s issue several tis.
He’s like a rotting appendix; we can just wait for him to turn to ash.
Invoking other powers might introduce new risks instead.”
“California has been deep blue for decades, but the Republican Party has always had a substantial number of registered voters, and there are still more than a dozen Republican congressn.
I worry their intentions are not pure.”
Niu Sen’s strategist was reliable, suggesting a conservative response to Achilles’s incitent of extre behavior, which for a political giant like Niu Sen, conservativeness can sotis be the best option.
Reconciliation between Niu Sen and Achilles was already a conservative choice; the Governor likes a sure thing.
“My worry is that it won’t stop.
If Achilles ca with malicious intent from the onset, what do you anticipate as the worst-case scenario?”
During the reconciliation, Niu Sen was confident, believing that a smart person like Achilles wouldn’t do sothing foolish.
But Achilles, being too clever by half, provoked that man to fire the opening shot, setting such a high bar that Niu Sen was sowhat nonplussed.
After musing for a long ti, the strategist replied.
“With Gru’s case exposed, Saint Rodu is in turmoil, and it’s affected our Democratic Party’s image, as he has appeared on cara with you many tis.
If Achilles is malicious, then as it stands, the best course of action would be to stop his actions and nip the risks in the bud.
Next would be to get rid of Gru swiftly, to physically eliminate him once and for all and withstand the backlash, so there will be no future troubles.
A worse option would be to exploit the Republican Party’s important figures’ pain points and pressure them to rein in Achilles.
That…
could cause significant upheaval, but it’d face the least resistance.”
The worst-case scenario is…
I can’t imagine why we let Gru grow to this stage.
Sigh.”
Niu Sen chuckled bitterly.
The strategist offered a multitude of suggestions and strategies, but none seed to have the least resistance; each was fraught with peril.
With Achilles pushing that man to fire the opening shot, is stopping him now realistic?
Letting him take action against Gru is an even more foolish idea.
If such a thing was possible, why would Niu Sen need Achilles’s help?
After the kidnapping case ended, he could have killed Gru himself and not have to set him up.
The so-called least resistance path is to muddy the waters.
He felt it had not co to that yet; such actions could easily make the situation more complicated, especially since Achilles was still very powerful.
When a behemoth bares its fangs at another, it indicates that the situation is already dangerous.
How could Achilles move so blindly?
If he exerts force wrongly at this ti, the foot already in the quagmire might beco even harder to extricate.
From now on, every move Niu Sen makes must be thodical.
His thoughts only coincided with the strategist’s in one aspect: he must not believe the ghost stories Achilles told Wigginster, treating them as false even if they might be true.
Seeing Niu Sen’s hesitation, the strategist added.
“Without dealing with Gru, he and his gang will continue to affect California and you.
Killing him off isn’t realistic,
but his problem is huge, we can’t protect him.
Achilles has already started asking Forbes to investigate him.
Mr.
Niu Sen, we…
must make a choice quickly.”
We must make a choice quickly…
Niu Sen’s face turned green.
“Give an option to choose from!”
Faced with such a situation, Niu Sen couldn’t bla the nonstick strategist.
He was already at the peak of power, but as Governor of California, he was powerless against Gru.
He initially wanted to use Achilles’s power, for both parties to work within the rules and eliminate Gru with the force of those rules.
But Achilles wasn’t playing straight, turning Niu Sen’s dreams of cashing in his chips into a dilemma of no easy exit.
To move against Gru himself, even Shabi wouldn’t do it.
To be implicated in blowing up Gru, the California Democratic Party’s position would be in peril.
Protecting Gru, this low-quality asset would continuously bleed his political resources dry.
Not protecting Gru would lead back to the previous consequence.
It was a deadlock.
The only solution seed to be hitting the Republican Party where it hurts, which bore the least resistance but posed imnse risks and no guarantee of success.
“Mr.
Niu Sen, the specific choice needs to be made by you.
I’m just an ordinary professor.”
In this high-stakes ga, even the strategist had beco stuck in Bengbu.
It was a standard political struggle, with a multitude of choices given to Niu Sen, but it seed he had no good options.
