America 1919

In a villa in the West District of Atlantic City, Donnie sat in the living room, a glass of whiskey placed beside him, and opposite him sat 20 young men of varying appearance.

Meanwhile, outside the villa, Robert personally led a team of 30 retired veterans who were guarding the surroundings, not allowing anyone to approach.

It was evident that at this moment, Donnie must be engaged in something extremely secretive.

"Gentlemen, the person in the photograph before you is named Louis Kuhler, known as the Brigadier, once the underground King of Atlantic City, controlling all walks of life in Atlantic City, and even capable of influencing the appointments of officials in New Jersey.

But about a decade ago, because his influence was too great, he caught the attention of Congress. First, the Bureau of Investigation probed into his affairs, and then the ISR convicted him. During this process, the Brigadier had no power to resist at all!"

At this time, Donnie was calmly speaking to these men.

The 20 individuals in the room sat upright, and if one observed carefully, no matter their appearance or expressions, each bore a fierce temperament, the mark of having once been a soldier!

"You once joined the military, walked onto the battlefield without a second thought for the honor of this country, and fought desperately in overseas battles under gunfire and shelling for the glory of this country!

But in the end, what did this country give you?

Not even a job!

Just a simple discharge certificate, and you were sent away; the country abandoned you, forgot the honors you once earned. Believe me, I was once one of you, so I understand the indignation in your hearts very well!"

Donnie's words ignited a spark of anger in the room, as these people had indeed all been soldiers and participated in the war. Some had even earned the Commendation Star.

But with just a discharge certificate, they were all removed from the military!

Just as Donnie had said, if it were not for Donnie gathering them, their lives might be facing problems right now.

"Here, I hope you remember your current disappointment and anger, as this will become the motivation for your future endeavors. From now on, you will no longer be people who are manipulated and powerless to resist.

From now on, you will control your own destinies!"

With that, Donnie raised his glass, and the 20 men also lifted their glasses.

Donnie said with a smile, "Here, I wish you all smooth sailing in the Bureau of Investigation and ISR, and to achieve great success!"

.

To plant his own people within the Bureau of Investigation and ISR was something Donnie had always wanted to do. However, many things aren't as simple as wanting to do them; the biggest issue in accomplishing this was that Donnie needed a qualified team.

Selecting these 20 people was not an easy task. First and foremost, on the surface, these individuals could not have any direct connection with him.

Secondly, to join the Bureau of Investigation and ISR requires passing an examination. If the selected individuals lacked the ability to gain entry, it would be a waste of resources.

Therefore, the entire endeavor was postponed until now when he finally assembled these 20 people.

After meeting with Donnie, these individuals would immediately leave Atlantic City and return to their hometowns, and then, with Donnie's help and support, begin to prepare for entry into the Bureau of Investigation and ISR.

Once these individuals became true agents of the Bureau of Investigation and ISR, Donnie would also provide them with reliable intelligence to maximize their advancement.

Five years, ten years from now, these people would become a sharp sword in Donnie's hand!

"All the people have been sent away, and no one knew about the whole process!"

Late at night, Robert found Donnie, who had been waiting in his office for news.

"I will take direct responsibility for these people in the future; you just need to make sure they have the funds ready every month!"

Donnie certainly wanted to firmly hold this power in his hands, and in fact, aside from Robert, even those close to Donnie had no knowledge of the entire matter!

For this purpose, Donnie had specifically opened anonymous accounts for them at Breton Bank, into which a sum of money would be deposited monthly.

Robert nodded with a somewhat complex expression: "Understood."

Seeing Robert's expression, Donnie asked, "Do you have any thoughts?"

Unable to contain himself, Robert asked, "Our current relationship with those government people is quite good, and we are all partners. If this matter becomes known, could it possibly..."

Donnie waved his hand, explaining, "Those government people, they won't be sitting in high positions forever. America's electoral system has already proven this point. Right now, with the Republican Party in charge, everything is still manageable, but what if the Democratic Party comes to power and their person sits in the President's position?

Then do you think the President's Cabinet will still stand on our side?

We run our businesses for longevity, like America's Morgan and DuPont, Europe's Rothschild, to pass them down through generations. Therefore, relying solely on this administration, this Cabinet, to keep our business troubles at bay forever is impossible.

Only when we have our own people inside the government will we truly be secure."

The Republican Party appears very strong now, but with the rise of the young Roosevelt, the Democratic Party will soon grow even stronger.
