Hawkeye sent the news that he had found the whereabouts of Wolf Fang. Yang Tian was surprised as he heard the news. In just an hour he had found out the whereabouts of Wolf Fang's army which the Bell Family had called a traitor. How could he not be happy?
Of course, not only did they find out a lot about the Bell Family, but the mid-term elections in the United States were coming soon, with all parties nervously raising funds, and the Bell Family was a member of all parties. Although the Bell Family was very powerful, they still felt short of funds in the face of an election like this, and the quickest way to get their hands on funds was to enter Europe. Once they got their hands on a business in this field, they would definitely have a lot of money in a month, so Claudien was in such a hurry to seek cooperation from the Wall Family.
Claudius knew clearly that if he fought head-on with the Walls, then he would not be able to gain any advantage. Even with the existence of Wolf Fang, he could only gain a slight advantage and take over the European market, which would definitely not be possible in a short period of time. Thus, he decided to capture Gavin Wall to force the marriage between the Walls and the Bel family, and Yang Tian, Claudien came up with a temporary method to rope him in. Then came the drugged farce.
In the United States, the elections are held every four years, but the congressional elections are held every two years. They are called mid-term elections, and Congress is not the House of Representatives and the Senate, but every two years the Democrats and Republicans fight each other to the death over a majority of seats in Congress. Everyone knows that the President of the United States is a Republican now, so in order to fight the Republicans to the death, the Democrats have to find a way to win the elections and win as many seats in Congress as possible.
In fact, the so-called elections were just a political game. The battleground between the two sides was a struggle between politicians, but behind the scenes, they had to be supported by a lot of money, which was also known as' political money '. During the elections, in order to create momentum for their side, television, newspapers, and all kinds of media outlets, as well as finding ways to buy information and expose each other's scandals, all of these would cost a lot of manpower, resources, and in short, a lot of money!
In the United States, the big politicians were backed by big corporations. The big families and big corporations of the traditional forces in the United States would use their funds to support the political parties they chose. Once their supporters came to power, they would receive great benefits, support for their policies, and so on.
As for Neisenkopf, he had yet to become a real 'big politician'. Right now, he was only a potential person who was moving towards the core circle, so the Bell Family needed to spend a lot of money on him. Perhaps some people said that with the Bell Family and Neisenkopf's status as a movie mogul, money was just a number for them?
It was true that the Bell Family was rich, but if they wanted to win this battle, they would have to put aside more funds. This kind of election was like a battlefield where whoever had more money would win, and now, facing the elections, the money in Neisenkopf's possession, together with the backing of the Bell Family, was far from enough. With the Bell Family's background, if all the money was invested in a battlefield where there were no more cigarettes, then once something happened, the clan would be in danger.
The Bell Family was the biggest ruler of the dark world in North America, so Claudius naturally could not choose them, while Neisenkopf was not. With their relationship, Claudius could only rely on this brother-in-law, and he would use his other identity to invest in Neisenkopf. Otherwise, if he was exposed for the elections in Neisenkopf, he would be finished!
Of course, this was not something that Kroen worried about. In the United States and all of North America, everyone knew that Kroen supported an uncountable number of politicians every year. With his strength, no one would do such a stupid thing at the cost of their lives.
The biennial elections of the United States Congress. With so many members participating in the elections, their political contributions came from the dark world. As the old saying goes, businessmen make money early. If the financial groups in the shopping mall don't get some black money, then where did they get their money from? Does everyone think this is ridiculous? No! It was not absurd at all. As a businessman, there was nothing that he wouldn't do, if he did business properly, he would never force it, not to mention those pyramids where strong funds were piled up. In several large consortia in the United States, there were people who would give a large amount of money to politicians every year for their elections! There was still a month until the election. In this month, if today's negotiations were successful, the Bell Family would be able to enter Europe, and when the money was in his hands, he would definitely have a way to chase out the Walls who had already entered North America …
As a result, the entire alliance became a piece of white paper. Thinking about it, Yang Tian immediately remembered what Su Yun had said to him, that he would definitely suffer a loss.
Claudien was old and Colombel was not in a good condition. He had been working hard to bleach these past two years, and he owned a number of legitimate businesses and companies that were not afraid of exposure. Furthermore, he was in the backyard of the Neisenkopf. When Claudine really couldn't do it? What would happen to the Baels?
These political matters were too complicated to explain in a short while. However, today's events were all the so-called 'cooperation' that Claudius had used to sponsor them. This was not difficult to explain the royal ball a few days ago.
At the beginning, Yang Tian did think that Claudius' death was the reason why he sought the backing of the Bell Family. However, he was wrong, not only did he think wrongly, even Miyagi and the other four hall masters were wrong. No one had expected Claudius to do all this for the sake of an election.
