Chapter 1321: Chapter 451: Seventh District Commander (Part 3)
Donnie nodded with satisfaction. At this moment, he did not decline, as there was no need for it anymore.
"Since that’s the case, I’ll help you out, Mr. Spencer. After all, we’re friends!"
"On behalf of the entire Coast Guard, I thank you, Mr. Block, for your friendship!"
"Previously, Deputy Commander Brek Joyce of the Seventh District was an excellent candidate. Firstly, he understands the Seventh District, and as far as I know, he was not involved in the previous actions taken by Jermaine Sara!"
Donnie voiced his choice.
Brek Joyce was Donnie’s most steadfast ally in the Seventh District. The reason Jermaine Sara waited three months before taking action was partly because of Brek Joyce.
In the end, he only acted when Brek Joyce was arranged to return to the Coast Guard to report.
This was also why Donnie hadn’t received any information from Brek Joyce at first.
Of course, before this, Brek Joyce had mentioned to Donnie that Jermaine Sara was unreliable. However, Donnie simply couldn’t imagine someone daring to touch the bootlegging business at the time, so he hadn’t taken it seriously.
"Brek Joyce!" Samuels Spencer thought briefly and then smiled: "He is indeed a very suitable candidate. I will handle this matter personally. Rest assured, Mr. Block!"
"It’s not about me being reassured; it’s about reassuring the American public!"
Donnie said calmly.
"Yes, it’s about reassuring the American public!"
Samuels Spencer nodded.
After Spencer gave up on the position of district commander of the Seventh District, he finally realized that the gap between him and Donnie had been bridged and left Atlantic City to work on Brek Joyce’s appointment!
A month later, Brek Joyce was officially appointed as the commander of the Seventh District Coast Guard!
Brek Joyce came to Atlantic City at that time.
Unlike the initial meeting with Samuels Spencer, this time Donnie personally stood up to welcome Brek Joyce into his office!
"Mr. Block, thank you!"
Brek Joyce stood straight, with a reverent expression on his face.
Donnie stood there smiling at Brek Joyce and said, "You make me think of the days on the European battlefield! Those were not delightful memories!"
Brek Joyce had also served in World War I, but he was relatively lucky as he joined the Coast Guard after retiring, unrelated to Donnie.
Their real connection was established when the Deep Sea Bank entered Florida.
At that time, Donnie had met with the people from the Coast Guard’s Seventh District in Miami, and that’s how he got to know Brek Joyce. Because they both had military experience from World War I, Donnie remembered Brek Joyce, and under Donnie’s instruction, the Deep Sea Bank handed over some disaster reconstruction projects in Florida to the Joyce family.
At that time, the Joyce family had become a well-known family in Florida.
Later, Joyce Breck became the deputy commander of the Coast Guard’s Seventh District with Donnie’s support.
Brek Joyce relaxed slightly and laughed: "Those experiences were unforgettable. Even now, when I sleep, I occasionally think back to those scenes. Comparing them to the current situation, I always have this surreal feeling."
At this point, Brek Joyce asked Donnie.
"Do you have thoughts like this, Mr. Block?"
Donnie shook his head and said, "No, for me, the past is the past. We should look forward. What we own now is what matters most!"
Brek Joyce nodded: "I got it!"
Donnie asked: "Now that you’ve become the commander of the Seventh District, is there anyone who won’t accept you?"
Brek Joyce smiled: "There surely are, but I can handle them!"
Donnie nodded: "If you say so, I believe you. Once you fully control the Seventh District, let me know. I have some plans!"
Brek Joyce didn’t ask Donnie what he planned to arrange because he understood that everything he currently had was given by Donnie, so he just needed to follow Donnie’s instructions.
Just like before, when arranging for someone to enter Jermaine Sara’s office.
Otherwise, how could a stranger walk into the office of the Seventh District Coast Guard commander with a gun without being stopped?
"Yes, I will take control of the Seventh District as soon as possible!"
Donnie smiled and said, "I’ve already arranged for a ship carrying a million US dollars worth of bootleg liquor to set sail. When the time comes, I’ll send you the coordinates, and you can lead your men to seize it!"
Brek Joyce quickly said: "Sir, there’s no need for that!"
Donnie waved his hand and said: "You’ve taken over Jermaine Sara’s mess, and there are countless media outlets watching you. You also need more opportunities for exposure. Remember, being the commander of the Seventh District is not your end goal but your starting point. You will appear in higher positions in the future!"
Brek Joyce looked moved and stood up from the sofa again: "Thank you, sir!"
