Blackstone Code

The Warm Winter Plan refers to the re-planning of northern cities to facilitate centralized heating organized by the government.

However, this plan has only been discussed in Congress and is not yet a mature proposal, let alone a project.

Mr. Trueman echoed, "It is indeed not easy. Even if the company and the local government jointly propose to transform the entire city's pipe network and urban areas, the budget is too high."

Mr. President also nodded in support of this view. The renovation funds for a city may not be too much. Two to three to three and a half billion is enough.

But there are so many cities in the entire north that need to be renovated. Together, this amounts to a budget that even the federal government cannot support.

He put the document down and then sighed again, "But the weather problem... has to be solved. No one knows whether the weather will get colder and colder in the future. If..."

He stopped talking as he spoke. Meteorologists believe that if the cold continues as it is now, it will not exceed fifteen years at most. Except for southern cities, other cities in the Federation will become uninhabitable in winter.

The weather in the far north of Marillo is now close to cooling down to about ten degrees, and it will drop below freezing by the end of September or the beginning of next month at most.

In winter, the temperature may drop to minus 50 degrees Celsius or lower. In this climate, let alone humans, it is difficult for anything to survive!

And this extreme low temperature weather is still spreading southward, and the number of people escaping winter in Marillo this year is much higher than last year.

Last year, some people naively believed that as long as they stayed in the house and lit a fire, there wouldn't be much of a problem.

When people discovered that they would freeze to death even if they warmed themselves over a fire, they no longer insisted on staying in their hometowns.

This has also caused frequent problems on the border this year. Many people want to sneak into the federation, which has caused some casualties in the anti-smuggling team and border stations.

The Marillos fled the winter with not only their few possessions, but also their guns.

When the Federals wouldn't let them sneak across, they shot.

But this is not a solution after all.

"The construction speed in Nagaril will be accelerated, just in case we have to..." Mr. President's voice was a little low.

In fact, he himself may not be able to see this coming, but as the president of this country, he must consider the future of this country.

Once the whole world enters an ice age, and everything except the equator is covered by heavy snow, and even the equator is difficult to avoid, then moving Nagaril becomes the last resort.

In fact, if such a day comes, it is impossible for everyone to migrate there.

First there are the rich, then the politicians, celebrities, then the middle class and the lower class.

Although this is cruel, there is no other way.

The atmosphere in the office is a bit depressing. Natural disasters are not like wars, and there is still the possibility of human intervention. Only when faced with explosive disasters in nature can people discover that humans are actually no different from other animals.

When we face that kind of natural disaster, there is no good way except praying, shivering, and cursing.

After a while, the atmosphere relaxed.

"How's the case on Paradise Island going?"

On the surface, the president has never been involved in this case. He has not even called the person in charge or asked others about the progress of the case. He seems not to care at all.

But in fact, he is very concerned about this case, after all, it is related to a huge capital empire like the Duncan family!

Mr. Trueman pursed his lips and said, "The progress is much better than we imagined. They have captured some people who are currently key to the case."

"Some people specifically identify targets in the country and then use various methods to send these people to the island. They are doing their work and I hope they can take the initiative to confess."

In fact, what really brought Paradise Island into the sight of the security agencies was that they also collected "goods" domestically, which touched the bottom line of the federal government. There were also some other factors that contributed to all this happening.

On the surface, Paradise Island is Horn's property. Suddenly, people appeared out of nowhere and took advantage of legal loopholes to create a country within a country. But in fact, the real masterminds behind the scenes were the Duncan family.

They thought that this time it would be like every time before, and it would not pose any danger in the end, but they did two things wrong.

First, they actually got the vast majority of members of Congress to side with them and pushed for the passage of the Security Law.

Second, they sent the federal people to Paradise Island.

These are very fatal mistakes. The former has caused extreme dissatisfaction among the top leaders of the three major parties in the federal government!

Think about it, they are all our own people, but suddenly they are so unified in obeying the orders of a capitalist family. This has to make these party committee chairs and leaders think about a terrible problem.

What if the Duncans proposed forming a new party or disbanding an existing party, or had some more terrifying ideas?

Will Congress still stand so unitedly on their side?

Maybe at first many people simply gave them a little face for the sake of giving money and gifts, but when they found that the development of the situation was different from what they thought, the Duncan family, the federal ruling party, and the senior leaders of the opposition party A rift arises between them.

Secondly, again, the Federation may not be a country suitable for life in the eyes of many people at many times, but it at least allows the people at the bottom to maintain their most basic dignity.

They did two things, very wrong.

Of course, these are only the more obvious reasons. In fact, there are some hidden reasons, but these reasons are relatively private and unknown to most people.

After listening to Mr. Trueman's description, Mr. President couldn't help but knock on the table, "It's appalling, Trueman. I didn't expect such a thing to happen in a civilized society!"

Mr. Trueman nodded in agreement, as if they didn't know anything about the Duncan family before this, and they didn't know what business this family was in.

"By the way!" Mr. President suddenly remembered something, "Jeruno said a few days ago that he and Lynch had a good relationship?"

Mr. Trueman flatly denied this view without communicating with Lynch, "This is a smoke bomb he released, and he is misleading the public."

Looking at Mr. President's confused expression, Mr. Trueman didn't know why, but he suddenly couldn't help laughing twice, "If he has anything to do with Geruno..."

He pondered for a while, "I think it's more likely that he hopes to dismember this family and then find the fattest piece to swallow."

"Look, is there ever a time when he is in a more passive cooperative position?"

"No, no, so we don't need to worry about Lynch siding with the Duncan family on this matter!"

Lynch now has a very special place, and that is Blackstone Security. As the largest private military organization in the Federation, once he cooperates closely and deeply with the Duncan family, it will not be good news for everyone.

The Duncan family has a lot of resources, and with the people in Lynch's hands, their combination will become very tricky.

But Mr. Trueman knows Lynch, and he must be thinking about how to tear the flesh and blood from the Duncan family at this time, rather than thinking about helping them tide over the difficulties.

Maybe he is a born capitalist?

Strengthening themselves in their bones is always more important than anything else!

"I feel relieved if you can say that!" Mr. President was always smiling. He thought of something else, "When I came here, I heard that there was a serious car accident at the port?"

Mr. Trueman nodded, "I heard that the driver drank too much..."

In the afternoon, the President's Office issued a proposal to be submitted to Congress on making it a crime to drive a vehicle on the road after drinking alcohol.

Although Congress has not yet discussed or resolved on this proposal, it has received support from many people just after the press officer of the President's Office disclosed it to the media.

There are no federal laws and regulations that require people not to drive on the road after drinking, so many people always drive to banquets, which also leads to most people driving back while drinking, resulting in frequent car accidents.

People are also deeply abhorred by drinking and driving. The proposal submitted by Mr. President is very in line with public opinion, and it is expected that it will receive support.

After all, he is the President of the Federation, an excellent or even outstanding politician. He knows how to use these small means to cater to people's needs and make public opinion favor him.

Time always flies by. For those children, every day is a year, but for him, every day is as fast as lightning.

It seemed that before I could do anything, the sky started to light up and turned dark.

In the evening, Lynch was watching the news when the little maid came over awkwardly.

Lynch turned off the TV and looked at her, "Is something wrong?"

The little maid looked very nervous. She nodded, "I want to... take a day off tomorrow."

In order for Lynch to approve, she also specifically explained the reason, "I need to go to the hospital."

Lynch is not a cold-blooded person. He always cares about the people around him, "Are you sick?"

"I know some people in the hospital. If you go there with my business card, they will give you the best medical plan."

The little maid waved her hands repeatedly, "No, don't bother, Mr. Lynch, I'm just going for a pregnancy test..."

She said with a blush on her face, "I'm pregnant, Mr. Lynch."

After hearing this, Lin Qi smiled and said, "Next time, remember not to say that, as if you are my child..."

"I approved it, but you still need to take my business card. Even the most common inspection has good and bad results."

"Don't worry about money..."
