It was almost a week after Lynch returned to the Federation that he met Mr. Trueman.

There are too many little secrets between the two of them. This time when Lynch comes back from Gafra, he must meet each other.

"Sorry, you know, their emperor is dead, so there are a lot of diplomatic things that I need to deal with during this time."

As soon as Mr. Trueman came up, he apologized for the meeting. He had originally made an appointment to meet Lynch on the third day after he returned.

But a diplomatic mission suddenly visited the Federation, which can only delay the time until now.

Lynch expressed his understanding and raised his hand to invite Mr. Trueman to sit down. "This is also the reason why I don't like being a politician. These tasks take up too much personal time, and not everyone can bear it."

His statement was affirmed by Mr. Trueman, who also expressed some emotion.

The more powerful and high-status politicians are, the less personal time they have.

Like the federal presidents, from the moment they win the election, they will move into the presidential palace.

Some would consider this an honor, and of course it is, after all not many people in the entire Commonwealth have lived in the presidential palace for too long.

But it also means that the president loses a lot of personal time. Except for occasionally when he is lucky and has no schedule and he can take time to rest, he is working all the time, including when sleeping.

Whenever there is a need, the staff of the presidential palace will bang on the door of the president's bedroom, wake him up, dress him, and then throw him where he belongs.

Mr. Trueman's job is certainly not as busy as Mr. President's, but it is definitely not easy either.

After the assassination of Emperor Gefra, the situation in the international community changed dramatically in an instant. Countries that had always been on Gefra's side began to actively carry out foreign affairs visits to the Federation.

The emperor's death in assassination was only one of the reasons. More, it may have something to do with the restructuring of Gefra announced by the Prime Minister.

When Lynch left, the Prime Minister officially announced that he would carry out substantial reforms to Gaevra's political system, with the abolition of the monarchy being the core.

This sentence should make some countries that always thought that Gaevra would stand up completely despair.

This seems a bit unreasonable. Why would a country with a good foundation make reforms that make people despair?

This is not without reason. The way a monarchy unifies is different from the way a constitutional monarchy or other systems govern.

Restructuring does not mean that the central government has made changes. Even if the restructuring is successful, the key lies in the localities, in those places far away from the central government.

Gefra does not seem to be a very big island country, but to say that it is small is obviously a summer festival.

This means that there is power in the hands of a large number of people, because the reform system announced by the Prime Minister may be invalidated.

When some changes come to them and they are far away from the center of power, some people will not be so obedient and put down their power.

Many people believe that Gaevra may spend the next few years sorting out the entire country's system and solving the "old forces" entrenched in local areas, and then he can get back on the road to development.

By going back and forth like this, you miss the most important time period.

Mr. Trueman and his assistants also have similar views. The most important thing is that the murderer has not been caught so far. The Prime Minister directly pointed the finger at the nobles. At the same time, the attitude of the Governor of Amelia is very ambiguous.

A series of problems indicate that Gaevra will focus on other places in the coming period.

This is a good thing for the Federation.

Every time Gefra is weaker, the Federation is stronger. This is not a difference between plus one and minus one, but a difference of two.

And this gap will continue to multiply as the two sides continue to add and subtract, and soon the two sides will not be at the same level at all.

In the quiet room, Mr. Trueman put his napkin on his knees, "In addition to these, it also has something to do with food."

He said with some emotion, "We all have to thank you. The food shipped from Nagaril has solved many problems, especially in terms of diplomacy, which has put us in a more proactive position."

"Those congressmen may not say this, but I know that this winter we have all benefited a lot from your food, more or less."

As the world faces extreme weather, food becomes a top priority.

At this time, for the ruling class, it is related to whether their power and even their lives can continue to remain safe.

It is indeed important for the federal people to export food to the outside world, and the World Development Council also recognizes this "big brother" more.

Lynch also made a relatively satisfactory income this winter. Apart from various other incomes, he also had some income from food.

Food sold to the federation must have been sold at par.

He knows very well when to do something to get people's support. If he raises food prices in the middle of winter, as long as someone says something like "Lynch deliberately raised food prices so that we can't afford to eat."

The good reputation he has accumulated over the years will be trampled to the ground overnight. You cannot ask the people at the bottom to be more sensible and restrained.

If they could exercise rational restraint and take the initiative to think, they would not be at the bottom of society.

Therefore, food is sold internally at a fair price. Even if some people don't like Lin Qi, they can't find anything to attack Lin Qi. On the contrary, some people who don't have much feelings for Lin Qi may suddenly have some wisdom and understand Lin Qi. Strange the meaning of this.

This is the price of grain exported to other countries. It is not the same thing.

It was as much as it should be, and neither Mr. Trueman nor the President had any objections to this.

After all, he is a businessman and he wants to make money. Federal politics and public opinion have never been the way to manipulate capitalists. It has not been the case before and will not be the case in the future.

Speaking of Nagaril, Mr. Trueman also mentioned something like a joke.

"Scientists say this winter will be a little cooler than last year, which scares many wealthy people."

"And you know... whenever those rich people get restless, there are going to be people who are going to do whatever it takes to get the money out of their pockets."

Lin Qi nodded. This is not a shameful thing. It is about making money. Although this topic is a bit vulgar, this is life.

Mr. Trueman laughed randomly, "Then there was a group of liars who got some materials from nowhere and made something very interesting."

"It is said that they built a small city specifically for the rich on the side of Nagaril. It is populated by rich people from all over the world who are afraid of the cold winter."

“Medical care, shopping, tourism and enjoyment, in their descriptions, it has almost become the first choice place to spend the winter.”

"Then they started selling properties over there..."

Lynch could imagine a group of young people who looked very clean and sunny going door-to-door with various materials to sell this kind of thing.

He had done it before, so it was no stranger to him.

The blind optimism of the federal people has led to a good breeding ground for scammers here. As long as these scammers are professional enough, those rich people will not even doubt these things.

Sure enough, Mr. Trueman then revealed that hundreds of people across the federation had been defrauded, and the total amount exceeded 30 million. It was hailed as the largest fraud case in the history of the federation.

What’s even more interesting is that when people talk about this scam, they don’t have strong feelings of hatred towards the scammers.

Especially the lower class people directly regard this as a comedy, probably because the people who can be deceived are all rich people.

Hatred of the rich is the sentiment of society as a whole.

These scammers are smart. They know how to exploit the insecurities of wealthy people to carry out their own fraud. This project also has certain feasibility.

But not much. Building a city independently in a strange country is not an easy task.

Let’s not talk about how difficult it is to solve political problems. It’s just that the city’s various expenses are difficult to solve.

Whether it is the federation or other countries, the more developed regions are, the more financially stressed they are.

I have only heard that Bupen's finances will encounter some problems, and it is rare to hear that rural areas will have financial problems.

With so many rich people living together, the maintenance of various supporting facilities, and the salaries of various personnel, this is an astronomical figure!

Lynch just thought about it and skipped the plan. This was not a profitable business, and he never cared about this kind of business.

The two people enjoyed a very sumptuous dinner. They did not talk about Lynch's assassination of Emperor Gefra. This matter was limited to three people.

Moreover, Mr. Trueman and the Major did not know that the other was an insider. Only in this way could everyone be safe.

This meeting with Mr. Trueman actually didn't have anything too central. It was just that Lynch had stayed in Gafra for a long time, and he always wanted to meet up after coming back to maintain the relationship.

As he watched Lynch's car leave, Mr. Trueman was thinking about something else.

He originally wanted to talk to Lynch about Kris, the woman who came in second in the bowling competition.

She was too close to the President. Someone in the Security Committee privately told Mr. Trueman that the woman had spent the night at the President's estate more than once.

This news is not good news. Mr. President has many shortcomings, but his advantages are also obvious.

As a capable "subordinate", Mr. Trueman did not want the President to fall because of a woman.

Although most of the time the fall wasn't necessarily about what people saw, he still wanted the president to have his butt sit a little firmer.

But in the end, he still didn't say it. Lynch's ability to assassinate an emperor meant that he had no worries about such things.

If Chris's question aroused some negative emotions in Lynch and made him think that it was more convenient to accomplish certain things through certain means than through formal methods, then it would be Mr. Trueman's fault.

He still hoped that Lynch would be well, at least there were not many people as sober as him.
