How important was Elvin to Dabinett?
Even Elvin probably didn't know about this question. Only Dabinett knew about it.
Without Elvin, there would be no Dabinett Group.
These words are not exaggerated at all.
Twenty years ago, when the Dabinett Group was first formed, it was completely a straw team. There were only Dabinett and Erwin.
At that time, Elvin went from Florida to Federation City.
At that time, Dabinett was just an ordinary councilman who was used as a microphone by the great figures of the United States.
They were both smart people, especially when Elvin approached them intentionally.
Irwin told Dabinett when to say what, when to do what, when to get close to who, when to get in touch with which family, and how much political money he should have in which family...
The political capital of the United States is not limited to the United States, but comes from all over the world. Even now, there are still countless politicians in the United States who are in contact with wealthy families all over the world, hoping to obtain the financial support of these wealthy families.
During that time, Erwin and Dabinett traveled almost the entire world, focusing on expanding their influence and political blocs.
Dabinett was still running errands for big shots and getting money, but his position in the U.S. Legislature was rising rapidly. Until seventeen years ago, Elvin had logically linked Dabinett to the royal family.
Seventeen years ago, Dabinett's status was still not high. Although Elvin had contacted the royal family, Dabinett was not qualified to negotiate directly with the Emperor at that time. What he saw was Pisces, who was in charge of the royal family's intelligence work.
That was an exceptionally smooth negotiation. In less than an hour of negotiations, Dabinett received $5 billion in political funding, and it was the first time he had sponsored it.
Since then, the Dabinett Group has begun to rise rapidly.
Congress, government, judiciary, military, continents.
Infiltration.
It kept seeping in.
Dabinett's influence was growing, but Elvin was keeping a low profile. He stayed in the Dabinett Group as a think tank, but in fact, he was the one who created half of the Dabinett Group.
They're best friends.
For many years, Dabinett had never doubted Elvin, nor had he ever suspected anything. He treated Elvin like his own younger brother. If not for Elvin's willingness to stay by his side, Elvin would have become one of the feudal officials of the United States years ago.
Dabinett was also the first to think of the vacancy in the governorship of Golden State, the most important continent, after Huo Wenton was captured.
Golden Province, the foundation of emperors.
In this crucial position, as long as the local governor was capable enough, he could completely form a new political bloc on his own.
In Dabinett's heart, the position of governor of Golden State belonged to Elvin, and could only belong to Elvin. No one could take it away, no one could compromise.
Elvin was several years younger than him, and when he was president of the United States, or even retired from his position as president of the United States, he could easily hand over the Dabinett Group to Elvin.
It was no exaggeration to say that the reason why Dabinett was still holding on to Golden State was partly because he was really thinking about Elvin, in addition to Golden State's status in the United States.
Suspicion and fear? Gong Gao Zhen Master?
Dabinett had never considered these things, In the eyes of his political opponents, this senior congressman was as terrifying as a devil. Countless opponents would be ruined by his methods. However, he had always treated the people around him fairly well, especially Elvin. He could not be any better, completely trusting him.
In his heart, Without Elvin, Perhaps he wasn't much better now than he was back then. If Elvin didn't help him sincerely but had other goals for him, he would have had at least dozens of chances to usurp the throne over the years. But for many years, Elvin had always been a think tank. If Dabinett didn't believe in such a person, who else could he trust?
But now, Elvin was missing.
Dabinett couldn't describe his emotions. He was flustered, guilty, apprehensive, and uncertain about the future. Most of them were regrets.
The moment he found out that Elvin had disappeared, he regretted letting him go to Golden State.
He had personally approved of Elvin's trip to Golden State. For many years, Vice President Taylor of the House of Representatives had been loyal to him. Sometimes, Taylor could understand him without him speaking. In Elvin's words, this was a good dog, and it would be very easy to use no matter where it was placed.
Elvin recommended Taylor to investigate in Golden State, but Dabinett agreed without hesitation.
When he asked to go to Golden State, Dabinett immediately understood what he meant.
Irwin also took a liking to the position of governor of Golden State, Let Taylor stand up, Irwin's behind the scenes, Golden State, the core chassis of the Howington Group, would surely collapse at the fastest speed possible, Not only that, with Elvin's methods, he would have already taken control of Golden State before Yurisses could react. With Taylor's cooperation, Elvin would be as stable as Mount Tai in Golden State, and Yurisses would be helpless.
Dabinett, who thought he had guessed all of Elvin's thoughts, agreed to Elvin's request without hesitation.
But what he never expected was that Elvin had disappeared in less than twelve hours after he left for Golden State!
He actually disappeared!
The moment he received the news, Evan was sure that Scana had done it.
Since he was able to place people in the Howington Group, Howington naturally had the ability to put his own people into the Dabinett Group. Therefore, Scana definitely knew how important Elvin was to Dabinett.
In this desperate situation, Scana made a decisive move through Aresis and grabbed onto Dabinett's weakness.
That's it, that's definitely the case!
After separating from Yurisses, Dabinett sat alone in the study room, muttering to himself with a ferocious expression. The nervousness in his eyes became more and more obvious.
While he was worried about Erwin, he was also worried about the internal situation of the Dabinett Group.
In the eyes of outsiders, Congressman Dabinett was the true soul of the Dabinett Group. There was indeed nothing wrong with that, but outsiders did not know that nearly one-third of Dabinett's senior officials were appointed by Elvin!
They were loyal to the Dabinett Group and more loyal to Erwin himself.
Now that Elvin had disappeared, Dabinett wasn't sure if the third of the high-ranking officials in the group promoted by Elvin would listen to his orders.
Therefore, he had to be rescued, both publicly and privately.
As long as Elvin was rescued, the Dabinett Group would once again unite against the Howington Group.
But if Mr Erwin is abandoned, a third of senior MPs in the group are likely to ignore their orders and even leave the Dabinett group.
This was equivalent to losing one-third of his strength before the war started.
At this time, he hadn't finished digesting the energy he had absorbed from Yurisses, and many people were still swaying.
Now that the decline or even destruction of the Howington Group had become a foregone conclusion, Dabinett would lose another third of his strength if he gave up on Irwin!
One third!
This power was comparable to a few other small political groups.
Once such a thing happened, Yurisses would regain control of the United States. Dabinett would not allow such a thing.
In the study, Dabinett suddenly stood up with a ferocious expression.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he finally grabbed the remote control on the desk, opened the screen, and sent a video communication request to Admiral Scana.
The video was quickly plugged in.
Admiral Scanner's cold face appeared on the screen. His sharp eyes fell on Dabinett's face and he said coldly, "Senator, the President gave us twenty-four hours. It's not time yet. Are you in such a hurry?"
Pretend!
Continue pretending!
This son of a bitch!
Dabinett's eyes instantly turned red. He stared at Scana, He suppressed his anger and said coldly, "I am indeed anxious, but I have no time to worry about your war. Scana, I never thought that you would be so despicable. Good, very good. Now that your goal has been achieved and you have obtained what you want, you have the right to negotiate with me. Tell me what you want and I am willing to compromise!"
Scana was stunned.
He stared blankly at Dabinett, unable to react.
He was despicable? You got what you wanted? Qualification to negotiate?
What kind of mess was this?
Scana was stunned for a moment before he suddenly reacted.
He did not know what Dabinett was talking about, but he heard the last two words of Dabinett.
Compromise!
Dabinett's compromise.
Scana's heart pounded. He was very clear about Dabinett's current power in the United States. If he was willing to take a step back on the annexation of the Howington Group, the situation of the Howington Group might really change.
As for what Dabinett said about despicable things, it didn't matter at all. As long as Dabinett was willing to compromise, he could say whatever he wanted. Scana wasn't willing to explain anything.
He was sure that Dabinett seemed to have misunderstood something. It was also because of this misunderstanding that he was willing to compromise. Under such circumstances, unless Scana was an idiot, he didn't want to explain himself to death. The deeper Dabinett misunderstood, the better.
After hearing Dabinett's words, Scana didn't hesitate at all and said in a low voice, "I need time. One week, one week. I will take it back to Dark Town!"
Sure enough, he did it.
He didn't explain at all.
Was this a disgrace?
Dabinett's heart beat wildly. Scana made a request without giving any explanation. In Dabinett's heart, the other party undoubtedly admitted that he had kidnapped Elvin.
This bastard!
"That can't be!"
Dabinett gritted his teeth. He looked at Scana with hatred and said coldly, "We have already held a press conference on this matter. At the meeting, Yurisses and I have already announced our agreement. I cannot do this."
"You guys are so ruthless."
Scana sneered and said resolutely, "No matter what, Dark Town must be taken back from me. This is what I want."
"Sure, but within the time limit of twenty-four hours, you must start a war. Even if you lose, you must start a war. Otherwise, I won't be able to say anything."
Dabinett slowly said, "When you lose this war, I'll explain to the media. I'll buy you a week. Scana, you can't ask any more. This is my bottom line!"
"I understand."
Scana was pleasantly surprised.
Dabinett, who seemed to be burning with anger, snorted coldly and said, "Scana, I've already given you what you want. When will you return it to me?"
He didn't say anything about Elvin because he thought it was tacit.
"I'll give it to you in a week."
Scana said vaguely. He didn't know what Dabinett wanted, but as long as he had a week, it would be enough. It wasn't too late to explain the specifics of the matter after a week.
Dabinett hung up the communication with a dark green color.
"It really is him! This bastard!"
Dabinett cursed hatefully and smashed the remote control in his hand onto the wall.
