The Wolf of Los Angeles.

Chapter 320 No Morals
Ocean Parkway, Twitter.

Edward hurried into the chairman's office and said to Hawke, "Boss, the fight has started, the fight has started."

Hawke glanced at a document and signed it, then looked up and asked, "What's going on?"

Edward said: "New York firefighters were provoked by some black people during the sit-in protest. The two sides had physical conflicts and many people were arrested by the NYPD. The arrested black people said that the firefighters called them niggers. Many 911 firefighters may face charges of racial discrimination."

Hawke said: "Hire a group of cannon fodder, seize the pain points to provoke, use garbage to replace the protesters, or use magic attacks."

"The people in power in New York are so decisive," Edward exclaimed. "They are so cruel and ruthless."

Hawke was not surprised and said, "Compared to the public suppression of protesting veterans back then, the means have been upgraded."

Rallies in the United States are not held casually. Not to mention that they require prior approval, behind every successful rally there are forces hidden in the dark supporting it.

Edward asked, "What do we do next?"

Hawke said, "Repost the relevant news immediately. Go find Caroline and ask her to use her authority to use the algorithm in the background to push these news about firefighters to the firefighter users registered on Twitter."

Edward asked, "Not just Los Angeles?"

"All firefighters in North America." Hawke's words were very high-sounding: "We can't just watch American firefighters get hurt and do nothing. America has its own national conditions, and each state has its own state conditions. The simplest way is to raise the awareness of firefighters across the United States. When encountering fires and dangers, don't rush forward. Fire burns other people's property, but life is your own."

What he said made so much sense that even Edward, an old black man who liked to make trouble, couldn't find any fault with it.

This is to undermine the sense of responsibility of the firefighter group at its root.

Edward went out and went to the operations department to find Caroline and told her about this.

Caroline has been very busy lately, but she remembered Hawke's matter and handled it personally in the background.

All firefighters across the United States who use Twitter will see news push notifications about firefighters in New York and Los Angeles as long as they log in to their Twitter accounts.

For them, the news had only negative effects.

After Caroline finished doing all this, she received new news that the Los Angeles City Hall announced a new appointment at a press conference today.

She had it reposted on Twitter.

Hawke, on his part, was considering a worse plan.

In important elections in the United States, the comparison of who is worse can be said to be an extremely critical link, which directly affects the outcome.

Brian, that bastard, has so many areas where he can be attacked.

Hawke doesn't like passive defense, what he is doing now is active offense.

Brian's rotten top can also be more proactive.

Hawke planned to set up a point where the enemy would pour fire into the area.

Los Angeles Fire Department Headquarters.

Director Morgan stood in front of the window, looking at the women who came for interviews outside the office building.

Before this year, women were rare species in places like the fire station.

Now it accounts for nearly one-third.

Morgan was frowning, but was powerless to stop it, so he simply left the window and sat on the office chair, out of sight and out of mind.

He is old, his energy is declining, and he is about to retire.

The chief's position will be replaced by a new person today, and he will have nothing to do with the fire department from now on.

Morgan threw all the daily work of the fire department to the female deputy chief who came last month. She went to work out of a sense of responsibility.

He picked up a copy of the Los Angeles Times and read the article about the firefighting industry.

In the news reports, the firefighters of 911 became the most miserable group in the world, and the relevant departments in New York were all evil-hearted.

Let’s look at the New York Times, which seized on the case of a few individual firefighters in California and launched a crazy counterattack.

Many of them involved the Los Angeles Fire Department.

Morgan felt that something was not right, but with his impending stepping down and retirement imminent, he was too lazy to think about it.

An old friend called and asked him to watch the news video that Twitter had just posted.

Twitter's influence is growing, and even Morgan has become a user. He logged into his account and saw the news from New York first.

Morgan expressed sympathy when the firefighters who participated in the 911/ incident were arrested, but that was all.

Below is a video of the press conference at Los Angeles City Hall.

As expected, Mayor Antonio announced at the press conference that Morgan would leave the Fire Department early and that Karen Crowley would take over as chief.

But when Morgan looked down, his expression became extremely ugly.

The reporter asked about several former firefighters in Los Angeles who were forced to leave due to injuries, complaining about not receiving adequate pensions and benefits. Antonio did not hesitate to put the blame on Morgan: "Chief Morgan did not do some of his work well, so I chose Ms. Karen Crowley, who is more capable, to lead the fire department. She will properly solve these problems."

Morgan's hand was shaking as he held the mouse. He was old, about to retire, and had been abandoned. Then he became a garbage dump, with all kinds of mess thrown on his head?
These politicians have no morals at all!

The fire department's internal office system then flashed a message reminder.

Morgan opened it and found that the human resources department had issued a new personnel appointment. The former female director of the administrative department, Christina, would serve as the chief training officer of the fire department.

Three of the five top executives at the fire department are now women.

"He's crazy!" Morgan shook his head: "Antonio has gone crazy for votes!"

Christina is very capable and has worked in the fire department for more than ten years, but her abilities are concentrated in administration and she has never been in charge of front-line firefighting affairs.

Morgan's little conscience urged him to leave the office, drive his car, and head straight to City Hall.

The press conference was over and Antonio returned to his office.

Morgan found Gordon, the mayor's assistant, and forced him to make a report.

Five minutes later, Morgan met with the current mayor of Los Angeles.

"I have a lot of complaints about what you said at the press conference." Morgan, who was facing retirement, got straight to the point and said, "Your comments were irresponsible and slanderous to me. They have seriously affected my reputation!"

Antonio looked at him without saying a word.

Morgan added: "I demand that the City Hall restore my reputation!"

Antonio sighed, "It's just the reputation that's damaged. I won't pursue other aspects. The parts that were planned to be replaced on the three firefighting helicopters have not been replaced yet. I won't talk about the pass rate of the fire pipes and fire hydrants that were required to be replaced. But for the maintenance of the fire trucks, an ordinary screw costs $299 to purchase!"

He raised his voice: "Do you think this is secret?"

Morgan was exposed in front of others. He was ashamed and annoyed. He became more and more dissatisfied with Antonio who forced him to step down. "Am I the only one who took the money? Everyone in this city hall, including your son's trading company, who didn't take the money? Then where did you buy those screws from?"

This made Antonio quite angry.

Morgan calmed down a little, and said with his last conscience: "What you are doing now will cause trouble in the long run. Does Karen Crowley, whom you appointed, understand firefighting? The deputy chief only knows how to ask for privileges for women, and the chief training officer is a feminist in administration. Can they do firefighting?"

"Firefighting is just one of the many public services in Los Angeles!" Antonio knocked on the table and emphasized: "It must serve the overall situation."

He pressed his hand down. "You are an old member of the party. Don't you understand the current situation in Los Angeles and California? The elephants are back with a vengeance, and they want to turn California red again! Last year, they launched a recall election and made Schwarzenegger the governor. The person who played a key role in that was named Brian Ferguson!"

Morgan knew who it was: "Your opponent in the election."

Antonio said, "Yes, that's him! This is a very formidable opponent, and there is a strong team behind him. If I don't do everything I can to get votes, I will really lose. The Elephant Party in California is not as weak as we think. My predecessor was the Elephant Party!"

He stressed: "A woman's vote is also a vote, and it has the same value as a man's. Do you understand?"

Morgan stopped talking because he knew that in the face of political interests, none of this from the fire department mattered.

Antonio said: "It's not just the fire department that has similar actions, the water and power department and several other departments have also taken similar actions."

Morgan completely understood that in order to win the votes of women, Antonio was frantically licking the rights of women.

He said no more and left the mayor's office silently.

Antonio thought about what Morgan said, called his son and warned him, "Keep a low profile during this period!"

Considering his son's usual promiscuity, he simply said, "Don't stay in Los Angeles. Leave California this week, leave North America, and travel around the world. Come back when I call you."

There was a response and the phone was hung up.

Antonio thought carefully to see if there were any major flaws on his side.

He called his assistant Gordon in and asked him to find a way to find the flaws of his rival Brian.

Since the beginning of this year, Antonio has been very careful to do those shady things as secretly as possible.

According to normal campaign patterns, the campaign will not start until next year.

But the Elephants got a taste of success in last year’s gubernatorial recall election, and it’s hard to say they won’t try again in Los Angeles.

Call for an early recall election.

After coming out of the city hall, Morgan got into his car, took out a recorder from his pocket and pressed the play button.

This is the latest model of voice recorder, which has strong anti-interference ability.

The conversation between Morgan and Antonio could be heard clearly in the car, and both of their voices were very recognizable.

The old man had been in Los Angeles all his life, and was screwed like this before he got old. He was furious for a long time.

Morgan didn't intend to do anything to Antonio now, but he knew very well that politicians could do anything bad for their own benefit.

In order to prevent the other party from throwing the blame on him again, he had already thought about taking some countermeasures when he came.

Morgan drove home, found his home computer, and made two copies to prevent damage.
