Blackstone Code

A lot of people came today, including a lot of local capitalists, as well as some officials from various levels of government. The new governor's reputation is quite high.

Even if these mayors are not interested in Ms. Tracey, the female governor, they must show at this time that they are willing to obey Ms. Tracey's leadership, otherwise some things will become very troublesome.

There are also some local film and television stars, some local celebrities and a small number of social activists.

Towards lunch the Progressive Party whip arrived.

"Congratulations, Ms. Tracy...ah, no, it should be said Governor Tracy!" Douglas still looked like that. He just used a rhetorical method that seemed like a good-natured joke.

But if you look at his face and listen to what he says, it's hard to think that this is a joke, but that he really made a mistake.

The whip of the ruling party has a high enough status and great power. If anyone can represent the entire ruling party at this time, apart from the party leader, it may be the whip.

He is the most positive expression of a party, and it is his "duty" not to show emotions easily. If he shows happiness or sadness too easily, he will be regarded as not stable enough.

The party whip is precisely a position that requires stability.

After Ms. Tracy was stunned for a second and still couldn't figure out whether this was a joke, she took it as a joke and squeezed Mr. Douglas's hand, "Thank you for coming in person. I have already expressed my gratitude to you." The committee submitted written submissions."

She delivered a speech called "Song of the Times" in Bupen. Some people said that this speech sounded the clarion call for women's rights to pursue greater balance. It was a war and a victory!

Some people see this as a dividing line in the affirmative action movement. In the past, women's rights activists fought against discrimination against women.

So on this day, they can be said to have basically achieved a phased victory and began to seek for women to assume more and more important responsibilities in society.

Ms. Tracey’s victory has indeed added a touch of glory to the Progressive Party. According to news from the Progressive Party Development Office, after Ms. Tracey won the election, more outstanding women took the initiative to hope to join the Progressive Party.

Four years ago, the Progressive Party could recruit less than 100 women each year. But after Ms. Tracy won the election, tens of thousands of applications were submitted!

This is also a very powerful force!

She then compiled some campaign materials and sent them to the committee for sealing.

This is why opposition parties and wild politicians can never compete with organized politicians. These seemingly unimportant data are gathered together to form a database.

When they want to deal with someone, they find information about this person, from his every campaign strategy to the changes in his governance philosophy, there is very detailed information.

It is not difficult to defeat a person who has few secrets. At least these people are not completely unknown within the party.

Every election, whether for mayor, governor, congressman or president, is an important update.

As a member of the Progressive Party, Ms. Tracey also needs to contribute her own strength to the party.

"We have received the materials. Thank you for everything you have done for us." Douglas's words were short, without any redundant words, but you could feel that his words were full of power.

This is also a momentum that has been developed over the past two years. For Douglas now, he has no good solution except being the chairman of the party committee.

Anyone else, as long as they do something uncivilized and harm the Progressive Party's face, he can grab the other person's collar and spray spittle into the other person's face.

He has great authority, and after holding such power for a long time, whether it is natural or unnatural, his voice begins to become powerful.

This is actually an illusion, just like someone often says "rich people speak loudly".

It’s not that rich people speak really loudly, but you know that they are rich. When a rich person speaks, you listen more attentively. This is what makes you think that rich people speak loudly. the real reason.

Mr. Douglas spoke too.

Ms. Tracy was a little afraid of Mr. Douglas, and they did not continue to chat. Then she began to introduce the more important invited guests to Mr. Douglas.

Starting with the local officials, at worst the mayor, then her father and his uncle.

Especially his uncle, the regional patriarch. Mr. Douglas chatted with him for almost two minutes, and the atmosphere between the two was very harmonious.

Seventy-five percent of the people in the Federation are religious, which also means that politicians can also rely on the power of religion when influencing voters.

Then there are some capitalists, mostly introducing themselves to each other and then skipping it until...

"Some people say you are good at making friends. I didn't believe it at first, but I believe it now!" Mr. Douglas had a smile on his face. He held Lynch's hand instead of just shaking it and letting go like before. .

The hands of these politicians are almost all the same, soft and warm, which helps to improve people's favorable impression of them.

What Mr. Douglas said was not polite. There are still many people in the Progressive Party who say good things about Lynch. This is the influence of wealth on politics.

As long as politicians want to work hard to reach a higher level, if there is a higher level above, then they must have capitalists who can support them.

Not only do you need someone to support you, but you also need to try not to offend those capitalists, especially the big capitalists.

Lynch is rich and has enough status that many people are proud to know him.

Unknowingly, he has reached another realm. No one will object to becoming good friends with wealth, including politicians.

Ms. Tracey is not a politician in the traditional sense, she is a feminist activist. Her ability to invite Lynch here shows that her relationship with Lynch is unusual.

This also reflects that Lynch has a wide range of friends. He is not only friends with capitalists, but also friends with politicians. He is also good friends with non-profit and non-political groups.

For decades, Mr. Douglas had never seen such an amazing young man.

He alone suppressed the young people of an era.

It is a tragedy to be born in the same era as him, because no matter how hard you try, no matter how hard you force yourself to shine, for Lynch at this time, it is just a weak flame next to the sun.

But equally, this is also a good era for all young people. They can see the birth of myths with their own eyes, which will have a great impact and help on their future.

Such people are very rare in the entire history of the Federation.

Mr. Douglas's words came from the heart, and Mr. Lynch is now a major supporter of two governors and a major supporter of the president.

In addition, Langdon is seeking a seat in the Senate, and he maintains a very close cooperative relationship with at least four senior politicians in the party at the same time.

As his influence further spreads, this number will increase even more!

In response to Mr. Douglas's obvious compliment, Lynch smiled humbly, "I like to make friends with people. When we have one more friend, it means we have one more possibility to solve problems when we encounter them."

"Aren't we friends too?"

The smile on Mr. Douglas's face became more obvious after hearing this. He patted the back of Lynch's hand with his other hand, "You are right, we are also friends."

"Are you going to York State later?"

The old governor of York State sought re-election successfully. Educational reforms and the establishment of new private universities allowed him to narrowly defeat his opponent in the state election this time.

As long as the governor wins the election, the party whip will meet him to provide support, affirmation, encouragement, and at the same time admonition, so that they should not be too proud and forget that the world needs to be respected.

It was an invitation, Lynch said for a time, and Mr. Douglas had no objection, saying they could go to York State together.

Anyway, there were no problems with the itinerary, so Lynch agreed.

He felt that Mr. Douglas had something to tell him.

His guess was not wrong at all. The leader of the new party was about to retire.

That was also an old man, already seventy-two years old. He felt that he was not in good health and wanted to end his job.

The question now is who will take over?

This problem has been plaguing the senior leaders of the Progressive Party. It is not that they all want to take over, but that no one wants to take over.

The party leader sounds like a very great person, the embodiment of the will of the party, but in fact, although the party leader has a high status, he has little power in his hands.

This position is not as good as the chairman of the party committee, not as good as the party whip, and not as good as some high-level cadres, but party leaders are often selected from these high-level officials.

The party whip is also an important inspection target.

Rather than being a mascot or a spiritual representative, Mr. Douglas still prefers his "life in the iron mask".

Although he keeps a straight face every day, at least he has real power in his hands.

Real power!

Mr. Douglas doesn't want to be hung yet. They will print the heads of the party leaders on inverted triangle chess pieces and hang them in the Progressive Party Committee Office Building.

Once your portrait goes up, it means a new mascot appears.

The two chatted for a few more words, and then let go.

People didn't mind that Mr. Douglas and Lynch chatted for a little longer. Each of them kept the smile they thought was most appropriate on their faces, waiting for the two of them with a smile.

When Mr. Douglas ended his chat with Lynch, there was something unclear in people's eyes when they looked at Lynch.

Wealth, power, and the sweetest things in the Federation are intertwined, always exuding a charming fragrance...
