Chapter 694
Let's all get together and have sex
Washington, Delaware Club.
After a secret meeting, Joseph shook hands firmly with the dark-skinned Oswald across from him, both of them beaming with smiles.
After tireless efforts and the mediation of several Donald Party leaders, these two internal rivals finally reached an agreement to run as campaign partners in this year's general election and compete against the Elephant Party in the final showdown.
Joseph was the primary candidate in the election, with O.J. Williamson as the secondary candidate.
Obama wants to win back the Black base from the Elephant Party, saying, "I have planned many actions to protect the rights of minority groups, especially their spiritual leader, Steve, but without exception, they have all failed."
Joseph asked curiously, "Is there no other way?"
Guan Hai shook his head: "It's hard to shake the saint Steve, because he is completely dedicated to this cause, much more so than Martin Luther King Jr. who was promoted back then."
“I have to say, after ten years of operation, the Elephant Party has become stronger than us.” Even with the support of Obama, Joseph was still not optimistic: “And there’s that stupid president Tom Emmanuel, who has no backbone at all. He actually bowed down and admitted defeat, and turned to support his rival.”
These words made Guan Hai quite embarrassed, wasn't he in the same situation?
Guan Hai was not happy, but he didn't show it. He glanced at his watch and said, "I have something to do, so I'll go first. We can communicate in time if anything comes up."
“No problem.” Joseph saw him out and returned to the meeting room, where Dillon and club owner Jack Jones were already waiting for him.
Jack Jones poured coffee and served it to Joseph.
Dillon said softly, "Based on our observations, Obama wants to emulate Hawke and Brian, and his target is the next generation."
The Los Angeles Group was coming on strong, and Joseph couldn't worry about that now. He said, "No one expected that the Elephant Party's civil war would start so quickly and fall so fast. Brian no longer has any internal competitors, so it won't be easy for us to win."
Dillon knew very well that it would be extremely difficult.
Joseph shifted his body slightly, his eyes narrowing as if he had transformed into a harmless old man in a nursing home: "We need to prepare for the worst."
Jack Jones immediately understood that he was going to have to go to the Middle East again.
His interests are deeply intertwined with Joseph's; they are bound together by fortune and misfortune.
Therefore, Jack Jones did not hesitate for a moment and stepped forward to say, "Should I go to the Middle East?"
Joseph thought the same thing, saying, "Through people at the UN Environment Programme, I confirmed one thing: the company that provides security services for the African Union's greening of Africa is owned by Hawke Osment and is also an armed group that does the dirty work for Hawke and Brian."
Jack Jones couldn't help but look at Dillon.
Dillon did similar work, saying, "As long as we can control the key personnel of this company, we can get Hawke and Brian's shady secrets."
Jack Jones stated, "In Hawke Osment's rise to power, he killed many people, and his rise was closely linked to the Ferguson family, to which Brian belonged. His actions inevitably implicated Brian..."
“You’re right, but you’ve overlooked the most crucial point.” Joseph emphasized, “Once Hawke Osment runs into trouble, without his support, Brian will lose his greatest asset.”
Dillon said, "That's right, Hawke is crucial."
Jack Jones nodded repeatedly: "I understand, I'll head to the Middle East today."
Joseph said slowly, "The sooner we get there, the election won't be far off."
The internal situation of both parties has been basically determined. The next step is simply to go through the routine procedures and then directly target the competitors.
Jack Jones and Dillon went out together.
The former said, "My bodyguards have been staying in the Middle East and are not clear about the specific situation. You need to send two people with me."
Dillon readily agreed: "Sure, I'll find you two good men."
"Thanks." Jack Jones was relieved.
In the Middle East, he mobilized his bodyguards to bribe many intermediaries, but as he did more, he also worried that his bodyguards might be bribed.
It's safer to have someone from North America provide close protection.
Dillon summoned Adam Smith and asked him and his deputy to accompany Jack Jones on a trip to the Middle East.
After noon, Jack Jones and his party left the Delaware Club by car and headed straight for Reagan International Airport.
Just as the three of them pushed their luggage into the security checkpoint, a staff member in charge of electronic ticket verification saw the alert triggered in the background, quickly took out a spare phone, and made a call.
Outside the security checkpoint, Ramos received a phone call. After listening for a few minutes, he hung up and said into his wireless headset, "Withdraw everything. Don't alert anyone."
Soon, the three people, two women and one man, exited the airport from the other side.
These people didn't look at each other and each got into their own car and left.
A dozen minutes later, they gathered at a base set up near the airport.
Carlos, who was in charge in the center, asked, "Tell me the specifics."
Ramos quickly said, "The news from our sources at the airport is that Jack Jones and Adam Smith have purchased tickets to Casablanca on tourist visas."
A middle-aged woman chimed in, "I went through security, and they did indeed stop in the waiting area for flights bound for Casablanca."
Carlos said, "Casablanca is located in Morocco, which is very close to the Middle East. Jack Jones has been handling Middle East affairs for Joseph's side. This time, he is probably going to the border area between Syria and Iraq to contact those armed forces again."
“They’ve slipped out of our surveillance area.” Ramos looked at Carlos and asked, “Should we follow them?”
Carlos shook his head: "Our targets remain Dillon and the Delaware Club. Report Jack Jones' situation; someone in the Middle East will take over."
Ramos packed his belongings: "Then I'll take my men to the Delaware Club."
They purchased a property diagonally opposite the Delaware Club, which allows them to monitor the club's main entrance from a high vantage point.
There are also people in charge at the back door.
Carlos opened the encrypted satellite channel and immediately contacted Los Angeles, giving a detailed report of the situation.
…………
Los Angeles, Butterfly Company.
Hawke rushed over from Beverly Hills and strode into the small conference room, where Edward, Campos, and Juan were already waiting.
Edward spoke first: "Carlos from Washington just reported that Jack Jones and Adam Smith's group left North America for Casablanca, Morocco. Judging from various sources, their destination is most likely the Syrian-Iraqi border." Campos added: "Our people in Africa checked the airline system and found that less than ten minutes after Jack Jones and his two companions booked their tickets to Casablanca, three other people booked tickets from Casablanca to Baghdad, three adjacent seats, but using French passports."
Hawke never harbored any illusions, saying, "Their destination is clear. Notify Hurricane Africa to have our spies among the armed groups in the Middle East gather relevant information."
Campos was a little worried: "They won't mobilize their forces and target you and Brian directly, will they?"
“That’s possible.” Hawke is very concerned about his own safety and will not leave Los Angeles unless absolutely necessary during this period. Moreover, all his work is done behind the scenes and he does not need to be on the front lines.
Edward said, "In the current situation, any unusual activity by those armed groups will not escape our notice."
Hurricane Africa has never let up on its work in the Middle East, and using the intelligence obtained after the assassination of Epstein, it has investigated and obtained more relevant information.
Joseph's agents sponsored three powerful armed groups, but two of them got involved in the chaotic struggle between Tom Emmanuel and the Walker family, and Hawke used the Walker family's influence in the Middle East to break them up.
Those who controlled the funds have already absconded with the money.
If Joseph wanted to do something, the Aksa militia was his only option.
Hawke said, "Once we determine their true objective, we can take targeted measures."
The biggest concern now is that Joseph will not move. If he does, it will create loopholes and give them an opportunity to make a move.
With the Elephant Party holding a clear advantage, the Donald Party's inaction is tantamount to conceding defeat.
Hawke, recalling Krish's ordeal, asked, "How's the situation with Joseph's men, the ones who do all the dirty work?"
This person came into view by staring at Adam Smith for an extended period of time.
Campos said, "This man is very vigilant and is always accompanied by several subordinates. We did not take measures to monitor him to prevent him from being discovered over time. Instead, we set up fixed observation posts at his residence, the Delaware Club, and several other places he frequents. In addition, he has a regular high-class escort in Washington. This woman is Tang Bao from the Tang Bao website, and she is also under our control."
He thought for a moment and continued, "Dilon is not married, but his father and sister are still alive and work in their hometown of Phoenix."
Hawke knew he would target Dillon at the right time, saying, "Send men over there to keep an eye on his family and make sure nothing happens to them."
It is all too common for ordinary people to have their families taken hostage or be silenced for some reason.
Campos replied, "I will arrange for someone to go there."
After a brief meeting, Hawke boarded a yacht and arrived at Catalina Island.
Brian's business jet came from Baja California, where he was visiting, and will make a brief stop here before heading to Washington to attend a rally.
Due to time constraints, Hawke did not allow Brian to disembark but instead took him directly into the cabin.
He emphasized Joseph's recent activities and reminded him, "Please be careful."
Brian noted very carefully: "I never thought about being a Kennedy brother."
In some respects, he was also quite well-informed, saying, "I have also received definite information from Washington that after months of talks between Joseph and Obama, and with the involvement of several veteran Democrats, they have finally reached an agreement to cooperate in this year's election."
Hawke asked, "Joseph as master?"
“Yes, with Joseph as the main force.” With their competitors showing their strength, Brian was also full of fighting spirit: “From today onwards, our main task is to figure out how to take them down.”
He looked at Hawke: "You need to think of more ways to address this."
Hawke was quite cautious, saying, "From the current situation, we seem to have the advantage, but all sorts of things can happen between having the advantage and winning. In the history of American elections, there have been many instances where an advantage has been overturned. We must not underestimate our opponent. Even a lion will use all its strength to catch a rabbit."
Brian said, "We learned this the hard way in California. Back then, California was a classic red state, and nobody thought it would change color. In the early 1990s, we lost California."
Hawke has been considering this recently, saying, "In addition to what I already have, I am also preparing to open up new battlefields and bring Satanism into the game."
Brian looked slightly surprised: "We've already performed a curse ritual, are we going to do soul cooking too?"
“That kind of evil soul cooking will only drag us down,” Hawke said simply. “The Satanic Church has been cooperating with Sillaly and Joseph for many years, so they must know something that no one knows. They sent someone to tell me before that they wanted to be a fence-sitter, neither offending us nor the Donald Party. There’s no such thing as a free lunch.”
Brian understood and said, "Just do it. I'll do whatever you need me to do."
Hawke said, "It's nothing more than a carrot in one hand and a stick in the other."
The two chatted for less than half an hour before Brian's plane took off on time and soared into the sky.
As Hawke returned to the Butterfly Company and prepared to leave by car, he said to Edward, "Contact Frank and ask if he's at the RV."
Edward made a phone call and said, "He's on the beach playing in the water with a girl. I told him I was going over, but he's already heading back."
Hawke said to Raul in the driver's seat, "To the Venice Beach parking lot."
When the two arrived, a cool old man in a floral shirt was walking towards them from the beach.
He opened the cooler next to the car, took out a few cans of beer, tossed them to Hawke and Edward, and asked, "Why did you guys suddenly show up? Are you interrupting my date?"
Hawke opened his beer and said, "I need your help with something."
Frank said nonchalantly, "No problem!"
Hawke asked, "I remember your first ex-wife, but I've forgotten her name..."
Edward reminded her, "Jenny Mansfield."
Frank's eyes widened: "Why did you memorize my ex-wife's name? You have ulterior motives!"
Hawke pretended not to hear and said directly, "Is she a high-ranking member of the Satanic cult?"
Last time, the Satanic cult sent a message to Hawke through Jenny.
Frank said, "She seems to be a high-ranking person, a saint or a goddess or something, I'm not quite sure."
Hawke said, "If you can, could you pass on a message to her and say that my people want to talk to her cult leader?"
Frank didn't want to have any contact with his ex-wife, but he had been taking care of Hawke all these years and lived a carefree life.
Without hesitation, he said, "I'll call her." (End of Chapter)
