Blackstone Code

Power is something that is time-sensitive.

There's a lot you can do with power while it's still effective.

But if you still want to use power after its shelf life, you have to pay a heavy price.

For example...

wealth!

If nothing unexpected happens, even if Mr. President is re-elected, he will retire in four years and leave politics.

He may, like other presidents, form a campaign team to help others campaign.

Or use your former influence to become a broker.

However, there are relatively few people engaged in the latter. After all, they have lost their power and favors have become less valuable, making it difficult to stir up trouble.

He's going to be a fringe guy who's not on the fringes.

If he still wants his children, relatives, and to successfully control power, he will have to pay a lot of price.

But now he doesn't need to, and the Progressive Party committee chairman promises to make his young nephew a great man and at least a senator.

Together with the rest of the family, they will all have a brilliant future, which is a good thing for the entire family.

Therefore, he did not oppose the short old man's suggestion, did not fight, and acquiesced to the result.

At this time, he spoke out with great ease. He thought he had long since stopped caring, but at this moment he realized that he had never really let go before. .

Mr. Trueman had a smile on his face, a sincere smile, "I still lack an adjutant..."

He was hinting that Mr. President could let his little nephew be his adjutant first. Using the status of presidential adjutant as a starting point for entering the political arena basically determines future achievements.

Some people always say that the spirit of the Federation is the spirit of fairness and the pursuit of freedom.

People will be happy that they came from a kindergarten with a certain president, and they will be happy that a certain teacher became president. They feel that this is the federation and this is the spirit of the federation.

Few people can see what is behind all this. Here, there is never love and support given for no reason. Everything has been marked with a price.

When an "ordinary" child becomes the president's adjutant, no matter how slow he runs, he has already surpassed 99% of people on the road of his life.

You can never expect fairness and freedom to allow ordinary people to catch up with these "ordinary people". They are not ordinary at all. The reason why you think they are ordinary is because you are too ordinary.

So ordinary that you can’t even see what’s hidden in them. Because you can’t see it, you think——

"we are the same!"

The President was stunned for a moment, then rejected Mr. Trueman's proposal.

"He's still young and we don't know if he's capable of doing the things we want him to do."

"I don't want him to cause you any trouble."

Lynch and Mr. Trueman immediately tasted the taste, saying that they did not want their little nephew to cause trouble to Mr. Trueman. In fact, they did not want their little nephew to be labeled with a certain label.

Mr. Trueman is still very young now. Even after serving two terms as president and leaving office, he is still very young. He will not be sixty years old in eight years.

For him, his influence in the political arena will last for about ten to twenty years, and by that time, the President's little nephew should have grown up.

If you have been labeled by someone or a certain group for too long, it will be great when you can be taken care of, and everything will go smoothly.

But once the people above and those "labels" lose their influence, it will be miserable.

Mr. President's nephew has no military background, so labeling him as Mr. Trueman will only make him go smoothly in the first half of his life, but have some bumps in the second half of his life.

Moreover, Mr. President’s expectations for his little nephew should not be limited to ordinary politicians!

Looking at the presidents in the history of the federation, there are very few who have successfully campaigned with someone else's label on them, very few.

While you enjoy the benefits of these labels, you also have to take on some other responsibilities.

What the President expects from his little nephew may be...another Mr. President!

Mr. Trueman didn't force it. He glanced at Lynch, who curled his lips.

"If there's anything I can do to help, feel free to contact me."

The president did not refuse or make any grand remarks. He knew very well what wealth means in this country.

He just nodded and said thank you.

The atmosphere in the restaurant became very good. The two of them talked, untied their knots, and made plans for the future. Everything became like it was before, and everyone became good friends again.

At least, that's what it seems.

Mr. Trueman left Bupain the next day. He arranged his work in advance and hurriedly went to those swing states to win over local voters.

The President is still busy with the Duncan case. From the current perspective, it is very likely that he will leave office smoothly.

In fact, as long as he is not petitioned for impeachment or takes the blame and resigns, this is not a too bad ending for him.

Although he was not re-elected, he was not too bad as president for six years.

Lynch, on the other hand, began a new round of negotiations with the Air Force.

He arrived at the Flight Research Institute early in the morning. The Air Force Lieutenant General was coming to discuss business in person, so Lynch could only come early and wait.

With such a large order, others dare not discuss it.

The main reason is that he is afraid of taking responsibility and can only do it himself.

Everyone in the research institute, including Blackstone Aviation, believes that the Air Force attaches great importance to new orders, but Lynch understands that the Pentjeos put too much pressure on the Air Force.

They often publicize information about having more than 20,000 aircraft participating in the war at any time. Not only is the federal military under great pressure, but also the countries around the world that are in the opposite camp are under great pressure.

Regardless of whether this information is false or not, at least that's what people say. It's not appropriate if you don't respond at all.

The federal air defense currently focuses on two aspects, one is anti-aircraft artillery, and the other is "air control" proposed by Lynch, using aircraft to deal with aircraft.

Anti-aircraft guns have been being built, but the Air Force attaches more importance to the theory of "controlling air with air", and Lynch's proposal to "control war outside the homeland" was highly recognized by Congress.

In order to better sell fighter jets, Lynch also put forward some theoretical cores for cooperation.

For example, anti-aircraft artillery, a defensive equipment that can only be deployed on the mainland, no matter how outstanding and advanced it is, it will always be a passive defense military equipment.

And this means that once it takes effect, the war must have reached the Federation's homeland. This is a result that the Federation cannot bear!

But using air to control air is different. Using fighter jets to fight other countries' air power is an active defense.

It is completely possible to fight the enemy outside the territory of the Federation before the enemy's air forces enter the sky above the Federation, and preserve the tranquility and integrity of the Federation's homeland.

Congress very much agrees with this statement. After all, everyone’s base is in the country and the voters. If they are unwilling to protect the homeland through proactive defense tactics, they will cause damage to the homeland.

People will be angry.

The anger of the people means that politicians have failed in their duties and they will lose the power in their hands!

the most important is……

The larger the order for fighter jets, the more benefits Congress can get through it!

And for the military, how can buying a bunch of anti-aircraft guns be compared to buying a bunch of airplanes?

When the convoy arrived at the research institute, Lynch had a smile on his face. He was extremely satisfied that someone came to give money.

In fact, there are many capitalists or generals or people who can make decisions who like to do some work by themselves, but they actually don’t know anything about these jobs.

But they don’t want others to discover their ignorance, so these people are particularly easy to deceive!

This is like the president of a group company going to the workshop to ask the technician some parameters. Can a president understand whether the changes in parameter size are good or bad?

He doesn't understand. He just hopes that he can understand these specific data and make people think that he can figure it out, but they actually can't figure it out.

This is an airplane, the most advanced technology in the Federation!

Not to mention a soldier or a lieutenant general, even the research and development personnel of the Ministry of National Defense may need a long time to verify before they can get a slightly accurate and reliable result.

Before the lieutenant general got out of the car, Lynch ordered the chief engineer, "In a moment, you can increase the performance slightly, 20%."

The chief engineer was no longer as nervous as when he first discussed business with the military, but he was still a little stunned after hearing Lynch's words, and then asked in a worried tone, "Is it too much?"

"If they find in the trial that these parameters that we're talking about are not being met, are we going to be in trouble?"

The chief engineer was a little worried. He felt that this kind of deception of the military was not a small matter.

Lynch pouted, "First of all, these are theoretical data we are talking about, and there must be some gaps between them and our actual results. Secondly, in addition to the technical reasons of the aircraft itself, the pilots are also one of the reasons for these gaps."

"A good pilot can exert one hundred and twenty percent of the aircraft's performance, while a bad pilot may only be able to exert fifty percent."

"Don't worry, follow my lead, and we don't have the technology for the orders we have now. When they come to the assembly line, we will definitely improve the parameters."

"Shh, stop talking, just do as I say!"

In fact, even the current real parameters are world-class in terms of performance.

Maybe there is no way to reflect the gap of a generation, but it is very easy to surpass others by 20 to 30%.

After all, the aircraft has been transformed from civilian use to military use. From the birth of the first military aircraft to the present, the Flight Research Institute and Blackstone Aviation have always been leaders in this field!

They are the benchmark in the industry and the model in the industry!

Is this bragging?
