Marvel Administrative Officer

Chapter 225 Unprecedented power

It is not the first time Jack has come to the White House, nor is it the first time he has entered the Oval Office, but this time he has a different feeling.

Here, Jack has just entered the Oval Office through Door No. [-], and Benjamin, who is sitting at the desk, has stood up and stepped forward to greet him!

Perhaps the last person to receive this treatment should be the leader of the Eastern Kingdom...

And on the land of America, Jack is definitely the first.

Benjamin smiled and guided Jack to the reception sofa in the middle of the Oval Office and sat down.

"Jack, I thought you would come earlier, of course it's not too late now..."

"I'm very sorry, Mr. President, there is a lot of work in the Sky Hammer Bureau, and I just took time out."

Of course Jack wouldn't tell Benjamin about his poisoning, it wasn't an honorable thing.

"You have to learn to form and lead your own team. As a leader, if you can't free yourself from the complicated daily work, then we don't have time to think about the future... By the way, what would you like to drink?"

"Any wine?" Jack asked.

Benjamin laughed and said, "You should be the first person to ask for a drink in the Oval Office!"

Although he made a joke, Benjamin still took out a bottle of whiskey without any logo from the hidden compartment behind the bookcase on the left.

Then, Mr. President took out two wine glasses from another hidden compartment:
"Jack, what you're looking at is the biggest secret in the Oval Office.

After I succeeded in the election, President Pierre told me the secret of these two hidden compartments.

I think you should be the first non-presidential person who knows the existence of the hidden space besides the previous presidents..."

Watching Benjamin pour the wine into the glass, Jack said something mysteriously:
"Perhaps, this secret will continue to be kept in the minds of successive presidents."

Benjamin was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately burst into laughter. He pushed the wine glass along the tea table to Jack,

"I almost forgot that your dream is to become the President of the United States. Judging from the current situation, you have great hopes!"

Jack pretended not to understand and asked:
"Why do you say that?"

Benjamin didn't care about Jack's pretending to be stupid. Although both of them knew that this meeting was a spoils sharing meeting, if they directly entered the topic from the beginning, it would be too ugly.

So both sides try to go around in circles and get close.

Mr. President explained along Jack's topic:

"Over the past ten years, the Democratic Party has fallen into an extremely complicated state of division, so the advantage of the Republican Party is very obvious. Rodriguez and I represent two directions of the Republican Party, but now, we both owe you favors!
As long as you are willing to join the Republican Party, I promise that in the 2021 presidential election, we will work together to promote you to the presidency. "

Although what Benjamin said was sincere, Jack didn't believe a word.

It's only 2006 now, who can say for sure what will happen 15 years later, if you can't say it, Thanos snapped his fingers, everyone goodbye!

"Mr. President, the future is far away, and we should pay more attention to the current issues! After experiencing the attack on Observatory [-], I believe you understand that the world is undergoing earth-shaking changes... I want to know what you will do after you are re-elected."

Jack suddenly turned to the topic, causing Benjamin to frown.

Here, Jack mentioned a very sensitive word... re-election!
Today's time is coming soon to Electoral Voting Day, when the "electors" elected by the states and the District of Columbia will go to the state capitals to vote.

Only candidates who receive more than 270 votes can be elected president.

And the current situation is that the support rate of Benjamin and Democratic Party candidate Byrd is almost the same!

However, the "11 people" incident that happened just now made the scale of victory begin to tilt towards Benjamin...

The most important reason is Vice President Rodriguez!
Although Rodriguez is a Republican, he is also a representative of Western forces.

You must know that California and other western states have always been the territory of the Democratic Party. If Rodriguez can persuade the western "swing states" to support Benjamin, then Benjamin will definitely win the final victory.

Under normal circumstances, as a vice president with completely different political ideas from Benjamin, it is impossible for Rodriguez to spend so much effort to support Benjamin,

But the current situation is... If Jack speaks, then Rodriguez will definitely support Benjamin.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that the key to Benjamin's re-election is in the hands of Jack.

Benjamin knew the current situation clearly in his heart, and he had already prepared the chips to impress Jack!
"Jack, although America is calm today, you and I both know that the waves of the times are coming, so I initially conceived a plan, and I am going to expand the power of the Sky Hammer Bureau!"

To be honest, Benjamin's opening remarks didn't impress Jack. The expansion of the Sky Hammer Bureau is what it should be. Even if there is no such thing as "11 people", the expansion of the Sky Hammer Bureau is imperative...

This is not something that the will of any president or leader can stop.

Jack was very disapproving of Benjamin bringing this matter to the table as a bargaining chip.

But Jack still calmly motioned Benjamin to continue talking...

The latter took another sip of wine and continued:
"My plan is to merge 22 federal agencies such as the Coast Guard, Immigration and Naturalization Service, and Customs into the Sky Hammer, so that the Sky Hammer can actually protect the safety of America!"

After Benjamin finished speaking, he stood up, went to the desk, took out a stack of documents, and handed them to Jack.
"This is the preliminary plan drafted by Rachel and I, you can take a look."

Jack took the document suspiciously, and only read the first page, and Jack's heart has already turned into a huge wave!
Customs Service, Immigration and Naturalization Service, Coast Guard, Federal Protective Service, Transportation Security Administration, Division of Emergency Preparedness and Response, FEMA, Strategic National Reserve, Secret Service...

Until reading the last letter of the document, Jack thought Benjamin was crazy!
He is going to hand over half of the United States to the Skyhammer Bureau!
It’s just that these 22 departments originally belonged to a series of agencies such as the FBI, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Finance. Now they want to put them in the sequence of the Skyhammer Bureau. do it!

But when he turned around and thought about it, Jack understood...

This was not Benjamin's idea at all, it was the "hush money" of the "11 people" collective.

They plan to pay off the "arrears" in one lump sum!
This is really a crazy move!

But no matter how they worked out the plan...

Now as long as Jack nods, he will become the most powerful person in the United States, even surpassing the president himself.

This is an offer that Jack can't refuse!
After thinking for about half an hour, Jack looked at Benjamin solemnly, and solemnly assured:
"Mr. President, I will do my best to live up to your expectations."
