America 1919

Besides these few people, there are some high-ranking officials in their region.

When other bootleggers see these people, it's like mice seeing cats.

But here, all these people are Donnie's most loyal partners, and every year they take away profits from Donnie calculated in the millions of US Dollars.

So, their relationship with Donnie is extremely close.

It's just that now, Donnie is not very satisfied with the situation because one person is missing from the people who came.

Missing is Jermaine Sara from District Seven.

The region responsible for District Seven includes South Carolina, Georgia, Eastern Florida, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands.

Jermaine Sara just took on the role of commander for District Seven this year!

"Mr. Spencer, three months have passed, haven't you persuaded Sara yet?"

Donnie held a wine glass, sitting on the sofa, while the high-ranking commanders of the Coast Guard each sat on different sofas, either holding a wine glass or smoking a cigar.

Samuels Spencer, thin and in his forties, caught attention with his large earlobes, and said helplessly: "Mr. Block, you know, Sara is a stubborn person, once he heard it's your gathering..."

Samuels Spencer didn't finish, but the meaning was clear; Jermaine Sara didn't want to give Donnie face.

This kind of situation has happened before. Donnie's Bootlegging Empire has been established for nine years, and during this time, high-ranking officers of the Coast Guard have often refused to cooperate with Donnie.

Such people are obviously not team players.

And since they are not team players, they can only be cleared out of the team.

So those people were either transferred, found scandalous enough to be dismissed, or eventually bought off with money.

Now Jermaine Sara is in the same situation.

But...

"Mr. Spencer, how come I heard that this Jermaine Sara is not as stubborn as you say? His lifestyle in Miami is quite high-profile!"

Donnie said with a smile.

The Coast Guard is the most important naval force in the United States apart from the Navy, and also the military force most susceptible to infiltration by Donnie's bootlegging operations over the years.

Though technically, the Coast Guard does not belong to the United States military at present.

Now Donnie wants to develop the power of the United States military, and the Coast Guard is the first fortress he must break through.

As for Jermaine Sara, they say he graduated from West Point Military Academy. Before taking command of the Navy Guard's District Seven, he served in the United States Navy. Although not considered a top American family, the Sala Family also runs its own business. Most importantly, their family has now started to venture into the bootlegging business.

Samuels Spencer smiled helplessly: "Mr. Block, since you already know his situation, I won't say any more. You know, the Navy has always coveted the Coast Guard, and for many missions, the Coast Guard needs the Navy's help. We have no way to deal with Jermaine Sara's current situation!"

It's not just 'no way'!

After hearing Samuels Spencer's words, Donnie smiled calmly, knowing they simply didn't want to get involved in this matter.

Donnie tapped the table lightly, smiling as he spoke: "Alright, since that's the case, let's not talk about him now. Let's talk about why I invited everyone over this time!"

Upon hearing Donnie say this, Samuels Spencer and the others smiled.

They had been cooperating with Donnie for a long time, but gatherings like today's were rare. The fact that Donnie invited all of them suggested that what they were going to discuss was definitely not trivial.

Since it wasn't trivial, with their current way of cooperating, it was likely that there were even greater benefits waiting for them.

Indeed, what Donnie said next made everyone's eyes light up.

"I'm planning to give each of you 2% of the bootlegging profits from your respective districts!"

Don't underestimate this 2%; in their hands, each person would earn an additional million dollars a year at least!

After his happiness, Samuels Spencer showed a serious expression. He knew very well that Donnie wouldn't give them an extra million US Dollars annually for no reason.

"Mr. Block, what do we need to do for these 2% profits?"

The others also caught on after hearing Samuels Spencer's words.

Donnie smiled, glad to cooperate with such smart people, "Venus Bank wants to develop the tourism industry in the Turks and Caicos Islands next, so soon, Poseidon Tourism Company's ships will frequently appear between the United States and the Turks and Caicos Islands. I'd like all of you to make it easier for Poseidon Tourism Company's ships."

Samuels Spencer and the others showed confused looks. They didn't believe a word about the tourism company that Donnie mentioned. After all, if it were just a tourism company, there'd be no need to tell them this, and Venus Bank owns United States Logistics. Put bluntly, United States Logistics' naval power is greater than that of any Coast Guard district's naval power.

How could they possibly need their protection?
