"Damn it!"
Dabinett's expression was ferocious when he heard the busy tone on the phone in the specially customized limousine. He suddenly reached out and smashed the phone in his hand against the window.
The cell phone bounced back after intimate contact with the bulletproof window and directly hit Dabinett's face. The angry Councilman shouted in pain and covered his face, his eyes filled with cruelty and resentment.
He knew very well that during the short conversation, he and Scana had completely collapsed.
The other party did not have the slightest interest in his generous offer and directly chose to reject it.
This also meant that Elvin, his chief think tank, would lose his life, and that at least a third of the Dabinett Group's strength would fall into an awkward state of immobility.
His strength was greatly reduced!
This was the result that Dabinett was unwilling to accept no matter what.
The Hoventon Group was the strongest political group in the United States, even stronger than the Yurisses Group. One-third of its power was qualified to become the fourth force in such a chaotic situation in the United States. Dabinett could not afford to lose such power.
And this time he shared the Horvington Group with Yurisses and the Comorian race, Looks like we can make up for more than half of the loss of one-third of the forces, But in reality, due to Comoria's strong presence in the United States, in his negotiations with Yurisses , a significant portion of the important positions in the Howington Group were given to Comoria. He and Yurisses were able to get one-third of the water, so there was simply no way to compare to one-third of his own group's strength.
At the very least, what was the use of making up for his loss? It was just that he was able to maintain his balance of power, but Yurisses ' power had increased dramatically. With this change, Dabinett's influence would surely decline rapidly.
In the present situation, Yurisses had no chance of being re-elected. Even if he unified the political power of the United States, it was impossible. At the very least, the people would not agree. There was no doubt that Yurisses would step down as soon as the war ended. Dabinett's ascension to the presidency did not seem to have any suspense, but what he cared about was what would happen after he became president.
What the fuck is he up to when he becomes president?
After absorbing the Howington Group, the Yurisses Group was even stronger than the Dabinett Group.
An Atlas group that can surely gain a foothold through war and has prestige in the military and secret service.
There was also a Comorian clan whose strength and influence were no weaker than Atlas.
It is hard to imagine how difficult he, the president, will be in such a situation.
What Dabinett needs to do is be a strong president, After the war, a powerful president could definitely leave his name in history. But now, it seemed that even if he ascended to the presidency, he didn't have to do anything. Balancing a few major powers would waste most of his time.
If he wanted to change this situation, one-third of his own group's strength could not be lost no matter what.
Otherwise, he might not have done as well as Yurisses did.
Rubbing his swollen and painful face, Dabinett gritted his teeth. He accidentally pressed his finger on his phone, only to discover that the phone that had been severely damaged could still be used. He hesitated for a moment and dialed Scana's number again.
He couldn't give up and continued to try.
Dabinett took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. The corners of his mouth even squeezed out a smile.
This time, he decided to lower his posture. Even if he was begging, he had to let Elvin come back.
Originally, in his plan, the conditions he had given Scana were already generous enough. Hundreds of millions of dollars. He had given Scana everything he could in other countries. With Scana's current situation, he could only accept it.
If the war in Dark Town had gone according to plan, He could have left Scana in the United States or even retained his position, But the counterattack in Dark Town was disgusting, The failure of tens of thousands of U.S. Troops and the Hurricane Corps was all attributed to Scana and Teglas. Even an idiot in the United States would not be able to accept such a person as a high-ranking military official. Therefore, sending Scana away was already all that Dabinett could do after the war ended.
However, Scana actually wanted to stay in the United States and enjoy his power!
This ignorant bastard.
Dabinett held the phone and subconsciously gritted his teeth. He had already decided to take another step back. Scana wanted power? Give it to him! But not for the time being, He will temporarily send Scana out of the United States, After the war ended, he was thinking of a way to make him return to the top of the military. In order to convince Scana of his sincerity, he was even willing to sign an urgent secret agreement. As for how to make Scana return after the war ended, Dabinett could not care about that at all. He could only take one step at a time.
Dabinett was filled with anticipation for the next conversation, knowing that he would be interrupted by a cold electronic notification.
Turn off the phone!
Scanner's off.
This resolute attitude completely shattered all of Dabinett's optimistic expectations. The Councilman's eyes instantly turned red, and he felt a burst of blood rushing through his throat and directly to his mouth.
"Gudong!"
Dabinett gritted his teeth and swallowed the blood gushing to his mouth. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and directly called Teglas.
Teglas.
Scana.
The two of them were now on the same line. As long as they found Teglas, they would be able to find Scana.
Even Dabinett had already decided that as long as the other party was willing to release Elvin, the promise he made to Scana could also be made to Teglas.
Gritting his teeth, Dabinett dialed the phone directly. Then, he put his phone beside his ear and waited nervously.
If Teglass's phone goes off, Then he really had no other choice, The press conference at Victory Square in the ancient city was about to begin, It was impossible for him to fly to Austin at this time. At the press conference, he had to make clear his stance on the issues of Scana and Teglas. Otherwise, Yurisses would never agree. Once he made his stance known, there would be little suspense about Irwin's safety. At that time, even if he was a deity, he would be powerless to recover.
The call went through smoothly.
One, two...
Dabinett heaved a sigh of relief and began to quickly adjust his mentality.
"Hello? This is Teglass."
The phone rang a few times and was directly connected. Teglas's deep but slightly hoarse voice rang out.
"Hello? Governor Teglas? I'm looking for Admiral Scanner. Yes, it's very important. Please tell him that there are some things we can talk about until both sides are satisfied."
Before Tigeras could finish his sentence, Dabinett hurriedly called out.
The other end of the phone fell silent.
Dabinett's heart sank with the silence.
"Mr. Councilman..."
After a full two minutes, Teglas, who had been silent for a long time, sighed softly and said in a somewhat complicated tone, "It's useless."
"It's useless?! How can it be useless?! Tell Scana that we can sign a secret agreement if I agree to his conditions! How can it be useless?!"
Dabinett suddenly became furious and roared hysterically.
"I know what you want, but I'm sorry, it's too late, Elvin. He's dead."
On the phone, Teglas said calmly.
"Too late?"
Dabinett was struck by lightning as he stood there and muttered to himself.
At the same time.
Inside Governor Austin's mansion, Teglas hung up the phone in silence.
Perhaps Dabinett would never know that what he said was too late was not the phone call, but his sudden change of position towards the emperor and the royal family about half a month ago.
If his position hadn't changed, Elvin wouldn't have become the current Teglass.
From that moment onwards, the chief think tank beside Dabinett had already died.
Teglas threw his phone on the sofa, picked up his glass, and drank all the red wine in it.
Dabinett's position could change.
However, Qianyin's stance would never change!
