Chapter 98: Red to Blue Plan
"Although it's only the initial clash, we can already see the general situation."
Advisor Matt, who was filled with righteous indignation, had obviously conducted a lot of investigative work:
"In the traditional industrial states, the Democratic Party controls six out of the top ten industrial cities in the United States. Pittsburgh and Philadelphia in Pennsylvania are the targets being contested by both parties.
If the Democratic Party succeeds, they will have a decisive advantage—leaving only Houston and Atlanta for the Republican Party."
Antonio had already pulled up the holographic images in the office and was operating them as Matt spoke—because Matt couldn't see.
"At the same time, there are seven states where the forces of the two parties intersect: Ohio, Wisconsin, Colorado, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Florida."
Blaze handed a plan to Oaks:
"Dr. Banner and Dr. Yinsen have already developed targeted environmental optimization plans for these states, and we can see results within the month.
In Pennsylvania, our main focus is on air pollution control. The positive feedback from Pittsburgh and Philadelphia is just the beginning.
In Ohio and Wisconsin, which are adjacent to the Great Lakes, we will focus on surface water pollution control.
In addition, in the coastal states of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Florida, we will promote marine environmental governance campaigns. The coastline is too extensive for us to have enough manpower to address it directly.
Finally, in Colorado, our target is the initial comprehensive greening of the Olympic Training Center and the restoration of plant life in several national forests—
This last point will require your personal intervention, Chairman."
"Very well, proceed with the plan for the non-coastal states."
Oaks looked at the holographic display and the information in his hands, and his smile turned ironic:
"I remember that Roxxon Corporation is a major donor to the Republican Party, right?"
"That's correct."
Antonio nodded and gave a bitter smile:
"Roxxon Corporation is also a rival of Stark Industries, but I highly doubt that their oil sales are merely a side business—their involvement is too comprehensive."
"Roxxon Corporation had a tanker incident not long ago, but the heat around that matter quickly died down."
Oaks snorted. He remembered that after President Ellis took office, the first outrageous thing he did was not to investigate the crude oil leak from Roxxon Corporation's tanker.
It was a spill of one million gallons of crude oil, and one could imagine the pollution it would cause to the ocean.
Due to the power of the presidential candidate, Congressman Ellis, the matter was quickly suppressed and hastily dealt with.
So now everyone's attention is focused on the election, and this incident is treated as a normal accident. It wasn't until Ellis successfully became president that the true nature of the incident was exposed, shocking the world.
But at that time, all he needed to do was push the responsibility onto a sacrificial lamb within his party. His momentum had already been established, and no one could touch him.
And that was the reason Aldrich Killian had given when Ellis was hanging on Roxxon Corporation's tanker Norco, awaiting execution.
And the location of this incident was off the coast of Pensacola, Florida.
"Arrange manpower to search the northwest coast of Florida along the continental shelf.
Roxxon's tanker leaked so much oil that it's impossible to clean up so quickly. They must have sealed off the most heavily contaminated areas."
This incident occurred at sea, not as noticeable as on land, which gave the Republican Party and Roxxon ample time to react.
Originally, Oaks going there personally would be the most efficient approach, but now that he couldn't shape-shift, he had to rely on the power of technology.
"Yes, I'll take care of it right away!"
Blaze had unconditional trust in Oaks and immediately went to arrange the matter.
"In addition, Antonio, I'll give you the plan for dealing with marine oil pollution later. Prepare to contact the media anonymously. Tony must be very interested in this matter...
Organize the manpower and once the media exposes the location of the oil pollution, immediately proceed to the destination for cleanup. I'll intervene personally later."
"Yes, Mr. Oaks!"
"Matt, be ready to conceal your identity and notify the most troublesome environmental extremist organization once the matter is verified, but only state the facts and don't say anything else."
"Understood, Chairman Oaks!"
Both Antonio and Matt, the two young men, showed excitement at the same time. If Oaks's information was true, then this would undoubtedly be a huge political scandal.
At that time, just the extreme environmental organizations would make it difficult for the Republican Party to escape—
They probably wouldn't dare to provoke Roxxon Corporation, but they could freely criticize the political parties.
Especially now, when both parties were at each other's throats, this incident alone could push Florida entirely towards the Democratic Party!
In addition, with Benevolence Society's connection with the influential upper echelons which is spread throughout the country, established through the Restoration potion. It would only take a little bit of information leaking...
The shift in public opinion was just a matter of time!
The actions of the Benevolence Society only showed them that the environmental industry, which was criticized for its impact on the economy, was beneficial to industry and did not require high costs.
The key was the stark contrast between these two events!
This would be a victory for turning red into blue.
"We're just an environmental non-profit organization."
Oaks folded his hands and rested his chin on them, speaking in a deep voice:
"We are the vanguard of the environmental cause, working with the loftiest ideals to seek the well-being of humanity.
But these dirty politicians actually want to use their suppression of us for partisan struggles...
They're truly digging their own graves."
"Antonio, Matt, for the time being, don't reveal this information to the school cooperation side. Even for internal purposes, the source of the information must be kept confidential."
"Understood, Mr. Oaks."
"In addition, I need some physical training in the near future. Antonio, help me find suitable enclosed buildings near Brooklyn, like abandoned factories or empty warehouses."
Oaks thought for a moment, then shook his head:
"Never mind, start your preliminary preparations. We'll be busy in the next few months...
Notify me when it's necessary for me to intervene, and I'll find a place myself.
Also, Matt, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you at that time."
"Yes, Mr. Oaks."
"With pleasure."
Antonio and Matt left, and Oaks sent the plan for managing marine oil pollution to Antonio. Then he went out alone, taking a rare stroll through the streets of Brooklyn.
The reason he wanted to find an enclosed building was to transform it into a suitable training ground for himself. Regular fitness facilities couldn't meet his requirements.
By now, the management of the Benevolence Society had matured, and they could handle most of the problems themselves. As the chairman, Oaks only made decisions regarding the general direction.
As for the Oak Tree Environmental Technology Company, he had already brought this newly developed bio-environmental management technology to Banner and Yinsen.
He believed that the performance of the Benevolence Society this time would be a surprise to society.
"There are quite a few abandoned factories and empty warehouses in Brooklyn."
Oaks pondered for a moment and casually walked towards the western coast of Brooklyn.
Brooklyn used to be a gathering place for old industries, both in the east and west.
The east was now basically within the sphere of influence of the Benevolence Society, so he planned to search the west. It would be even better if he could find an old factory near the sea.
"Hmm... This one is not bad."
