Blackstone Code

The short old man thought about Lynch's "recommendation" for a while, and Lynch's statement was correct.

The Federation is facing a war, and it is best to have a president who can understand the war. At least such a president will not make wrong decisions in some war decisions. .

But at the same time, it does not mean that the president does not understand war at all because he does not come from the military.

The federation's complete staff system and the strategic command system of the Ministry of National Defense can enable the president of the federation to have a sufficient understanding of war without having served in the military.

They will use various simple methods to make the choice of war as easy to understand as possible, explain it to the president, and then wait for him to make a choice.

However... Mr. Trueman is still a very good person, whether at work or in other aspects.

The short old man was actually also deceived.

As Chairman of the Progressive Party Committee, a man who stands at the pinnacle of federal power, he is actually not as disgusted with capital and capitalists as Mr. Trueman is.

He knows very well that this society cannot live without capital and capitalists, just like a fish cannot live without water.

Capital fully moisturizes all aspects of society, allowing this "machine" to run.

Although sometimes it is not so friendly to the bottom of society and the minority, at least the people of the Federation are obviously better than other countries in terms of living environment, educational environment, medical environment or working environment when compared with foreign countries!

Capital is indeed lurking on the entire society to suck blood, but it will also maintain the normal operation of society, and it will do its best to cooperate with the methods of anesthesia for these people at the bottom, making them feel no pain and even feel a little happy.

Without capital, the federal society would not be as developed as it is now. People are indeed revolving around wealth, but this also gives people the motivation to move forward.

Mr. Trueman's recent behavior of being able to integrate with the capitalists has made many people relax. The most important thing is that he is willing to accept the "gifts" from those capitalists.

In ancient times, when bandits recruited new people to join their gangs, the easiest way to confirm whether this person was one of their own was to take him with them to burn, kill, and loot. After he killed those innocent civilians, he was one of their own.

It's the same now. Whether you can get along harmoniously with capitalists depends on whether you are willing to accept gifts from capitalists.

These gifts are legal, but if you accept them, it is a statement.

If I take your money, I will also advocate for your interests in politics.

The short old man thought for a while and said, "If you are the only one who supports Trueman, he may not be the opponent of others."

Lynch smiled and raised his eyebrows, which meant that the short old man had initially agreed. The next step was to reinforce, "The military will also support him, but it won't be so direct."

The short old man nodded slightly. Indeed, the military would not make it too obvious who it supported, because the federal charter stipulated that the federal army and the federal government were two disjoint systems.

The Department of Defense serves as the hub for coordination among them. If the Department of Defense is bypassed as a key department, then people within the federal government system cannot directly mobilize people or things related to the military.

Members of the federal military cannot directly participate in the election for important positions in the federal government.

Mr. Trueman has retired. The time and reason for his retirement can be found from the Ministry of Defense, so his participation in government work is legal and compliant.

If the federal military wants to support Mr. Trueman in taking office, in addition to stating the military's position, they will not make a fuss to the extent that everyone knows. They will only support him in another way.

For example, the largest group controlled by the federal military is the Shipping Group.

How far a country's ocean transportation group can go and how powerful its transportation capabilities can be has nothing to do with the company itself.

Even if a company has countless wealth and countless ocean shipping ships, but its country does not have a strong navy, then these shipping businesses will not be easy to do.

Pirates will cause trouble for them, and some countries with powerful navies will cause trouble for them. In this society with underdeveloped communications, on the endless sea, killing people and taking away things is really clean. There won't be a single trace.

Therefore, whether shipping is strong depends entirely on whether the navy of the country to which the company belongs is strong.

Being powerful means safe transportation. Even if you may be harassed, it is only harassment, not harm!

The Federal Navy is the most powerful backer of the shipping group. At the same time, there are some people in the shipping group who have explicit or implicit military backgrounds. They will definitely support Mr. Trueman.

The second is the military-industrial complex. If they still want to get orders from the military, then they must support Mr. Trueman!

The upstream and downstream enterprises extended by the military industrial group will also be mobilized.

With the support of the Ocean Shipping Group, the military-industrial complex and Lynch's Blackstone Group, Mr. Trueman has a ticket to participate in the election.

The short old man hesitated for a while before slowly nodding, "I agree..."

The scandals surrounding the current president are bound to grow, and the Progressive Party needs a president who can make people forget about these scandals, or at least have a diversionary target first.

With the consent of the short old man, at the Progressive Party Committee meeting in early December, the short old man announced that Mr. Trueman would participate in the general election as the second candidate of the Progressive Party.

Although many people expressed shock and incomprehension, no one would object to the short old man's resolution.

It was on this afternoon that Mr. Geruno, who had been constantly seeking compromises, finally discovered that this matter was more difficult than he imagined. He no longer wanted to reach a compromise and threw out all the materials. .

All the media under the Duncan family began to report these things on a large scale!

In the morning, Lynch took a shower and put on new clothes after exercising. When he walked to the dining table in the restaurant and sat down, he saw the newspapers placed on the table.

Almost all of these newspapers reported on Mr. President's "affair". He fiddled with these newspapers, and the ones that magnified the President and Ms. Chris to the full front page were all media outlets that had direct interests in the Duncan family.

And those who just used titles were media outlets that had little to do with their family.

When these news are released, no matter whether these media are on the side of Mr. President or not, they must report these news to show some kind of impartiality.

Only in this way can we win the support and trust of more people by not favoring one camp or another.

Lynch opened the "Buppen Times" and they published the photos of the two people without any processing, which actually violated federal laws and regulations.

The federal Publications Regulations require that no naked lower body persons be allowed to appear in printed matter intended for the general public of all ages.

Yes, the upper body can be naked, but the lower body cannot be naked, and any more intimate or further actions are not allowed, otherwise you will face a fine.

From fifty yuan to half a million.

Obviously, the Duncan family is not short of money, so these newspapers did not hesitate to print illegally, and they did have the influence they wanted!

The newspaper introduced the male and female protagonists in the photo and revealed their identities, including the fact that Ms. Chris's family had just moved to Bupen from other states not long ago.

Her husband coincidentally became a staff member of the Ministry of Justice. The newspaper did not directly say that power and sex transactions were involved, but they knew how to use subtle rhetoric to guide people in these directions.

When you read these articles, you will subconsciously think that that man must have this job because of Ms. Chris.

As soon as the newspaper came out, the whole world was in an uproar.

The Federation is one of the important core members in the subsequent war between the two major camps in the world. The appointment and dismissal of the Federation President will also have a great impact on the world's pattern.

This included Ambassador Pengeo, who asked the Ministry of International Affairs about the authenticity of the newspaper reports after receiving a phone call from the emperor himself.

Among the newspapers that Bupen can buy, many plan to make continuous reports on this matter, which means huge social attention!

The federal government also turned into a mess this morning.

The president was already prepared, but the shock when the incident broke out almost made him faint.

Sitting in the restaurant of the Presidential Palace, at the edge of the dining table, his hands were making small movements uneasily and helplessly. His wife was sitting opposite him, holding coffee and drinking it calmly.

After a long time, he sighed, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect this."

The federal president's wife put down the tray and coffee in her hands, picked up a sandwich, and asked before biting down, "Did you not expect to be discovered, or did you not expect to be like this after doing these things?"

This question was a bit embarrassing. The president was silent for a while and then said "I'm sorry."

The president's wife gracefully put down the bitten sandwich, picked up a napkin and wiped away the food residue from the corner of her mouth, "Actually, I am also responsible for this matter."

She looked at Mr. President and said, "I am old and have no need many years ago, but I don't know that you will still be like this..."

She glanced sideways at the newspapers on the table and fiddled with them, "... such a strong need."

"But you are also wrong. You can be more energetic instead of just looking for a female cousin!"

She said and stood up, "I accept your apology. You should think carefully now about how to deal with the media and the people of the Federation."

"I have two charity events to attend during this period, and I won't be able to come back soon..."
