Blackstone Code

After some more chatting with Lynch, Senator Langdon left knowingly.

Standing on the balcony and watching Senator Langdon's car leave, Lynch's thoughts were focused on what he said.

The enlargement of the Senate was inevitable.

And in fact, it’s not just a problem with Sedoras and Nagaril. Soon, even Marillo will be merged into the federal rule.

Marillo is currently divided into five major jurisdictions, which can be regarded as dividing Marillo into five states.

But in fact, except for the central control area and the northwest control area, the other three areas are much larger, which means that it may bring more than five states to the federation.

Maybe seven, or eight.

At that time, more than a dozen senators will join in, so there will be almost thirty states in the federation. Even if each state can only send two people, this is still sixty senators!

This does not include the DC senators, so there may be sixty-five to seventy in the end!

Based on this calculation, the current strength of the York Gang is indeed facing a huge challenge.

The good news is that there will be a noticeable progression to this, and it won’t happen immediately.

Perhaps, it's time to increase infiltration of the Senate.

The next morning, while Lynch was having breakfast, the FBI director rang the doorbell.

Lynch called him in the morning, and he rushed over.

Compared with the flattery of some Chi Guoguo, it is obvious that continuing to work for eight years will attract him more!

"Have you eaten?" Lynch pointed to the food on the table, "If you haven't eaten, you can try it."

The director-general was not humble at all. He smiled and said that after hearing Lynch's call, he hurried over without even eating breakfast.

It was a very implicit allegiance, and Lynch asked the maid to add some fried beef cubes.

They are beef cubes the size of your thumb. Good quality beef cubes do not need to be brushed with oil and can be fried quickly to produce a lot of fat.

The beef cubes were not too big and were easily fried and served on the table quickly.

"Then you're welcome." The director started to eat a little exaggeratedly. After eating a lot of beef cubes, he took a deep breath and talked about O'Brien's son's affair.

In fact, before he came to Lynch, he had already learned about the entire incident through his nephew.

The father of the girl who was raped by O'Brien's son was a boss in the local metallurgical industry, with a net worth of around ten million.

Most of the other "victims" also have a rich father or a rich mother.

No one here had any obvious government personnel in their family background, but it was precisely this behavior that made the director-general think that they were indeed being instigated by others.

The simplest truth is that for relatively medium-sized or smaller companies, the senator only needs one phone call to stop them.

For example, if they say they have polluted the environment, when will they stop polluting the environment, and when will they be able to resume work?

As for whether it is a pollution situation or not, the Environmental Governance Committee must have the final say.

And this committee happens to be one of the agencies of Congress.

But these people's insistence on carrying on so contrary to common sense shows that there must be something wrong here. As for the deeper issues, we have not yet investigated them.

The director-general's voice is not very fast when speaking, his articulation is very clear, and he can accurately describe the important core parts of a paragraph, which not many people can do.

Only those who regularly report to big shots can master this knack.

Lynch nodded while listening. When the director finished speaking, he picked up a napkin and wiped off the oil stains on his lips.

"I have been watching them in the past few days. I want to know who they are in contact with and who is behind them."

This kind of thing is very simple for the FBI. They can find any reason to monitor their communications. Whether it is legal or not is another question.

In the magical land of the Federation, legality is only because the capital is not strong enough.

When the capital is strong enough, capital is the law!

The director-general immediately nodded and agreed without even hesitating.

At around ten o'clock in the morning, Lynch met with O'Brien in the office.

O'Brien's mental outlook was not very good, and he didn't get much rest in the past few nights.

What he was worried about was not what happened to his son, but whether he would lose his power.

Lynch's call cheered him up, but only a little.

The moment he stepped into the Blackstone Capital office building, O'Brien seemed to be able to feel a sense of contempt for his own insignificance.

Maybe it has something to do with the building decoration style. In short, after entering Lynch's office, it felt even more like this!

Behind Lynch is the most prosperous neighborhood of Bupen. Looking at the most lively place in the city through the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows on a not-too-high floor, it seems as if Lynch has stepped on all of this.

Lynch sat him in a chair across from the huge desk, and then said, "I've got an idea of ​​what's going on, and if I intervene, it could turn into a war."

"Everyone on the street below is talking about making money and profit. If I help you, what can you give me?"

O'Brien was a little nervous about Chi Guoguo's words. He swallowed and said, "I owe you a huge favor, Mr. Lynch."

Lynch shook his head slightly, "This is not enough. Mr. Senator O'Brien, there are many more people in this world who want to owe me a favor. They can line up around Bupen from my office."

"And it may make you think I'm a little arrogant. I'm not even sure if a favor from a senator will be a favor from a senator in the future. For me, this is not enough to convince me!"

Lynch stretched out his hand, still enjoying everything he had today.

If Lynch doesn't reach out, he will lose everything.

The number of senators is limited, and the list of senators, ostensibly elected by the state assembly, is actually appointed within the party.

O'Brien's position as senator is under threat. Someone wants to get rid of him, and this person cannot come from outside.

Because even if outsiders get rid of him, the vacant position will not be advantageous to outsiders.

Only those who held him up in the first place have the power and qualifications to send their man to this position again.

In other words, he is facing the risk of being eliminated from within the party, and this recruitment is definitely not just happening now, it may have been for some time.

When Senator Langdon mentioned how arrogant he could be, Lynch thought he might have offended someone without even realizing it.

In addition, there are not many people who like him, so everyone has no objection to getting a guy that no one likes, so this is the situation.

O'Brien wanted to say something, but Lynch raised his hand to stop him, "Don't rush to promise anything. Go back and think about what you can give me."

After watching O'Brien leave, Lynch made another phone call to the Chairman of the Progressive Party Committee.

During this period, Lynch and he were in sync with each other in some aspects, which allowed him to temporarily count Lynch as one of his own.

Lynch wanted to ask him to talk, and he naturally wouldn't refuse.

In addition, Connor has begun to prepare for the election. Campaign posters in many places have begun to be printed in large quantities, and there will be more places that need money later.

He would not refuse Lynch, the super-rich sponsor.

The two agreed to have lunch together later, in the office of the Chairman of the Progressive Party Committee.

In addition to O'Brien's problem, there are some other things to discuss.

Two hours go by very quickly, especially for someone who is focused on work.

Lynch showed up at Gladstone's office on time, holding a dinner plate in his hand.

"At least seven or eight people on the road asked their companions after seeing me if there was any special food today."

Lynch's words resolved the subtle awkwardness between the two after not seeing each other for a while.

People who are good at resolving embarrassment and humor can always gain more benefits in social interactions.

Gladstone understood what Lynch meant and smiled happily.

Those people probably thought, "Even Lynch comes to have a work meal, it must be because the food is good."

Come and try it quickly. 】

Although this is most likely Lynch's self-deprecation, humor is humor, and sometimes it doesn't have to be what actually happened.

The two sat down around the coffee table, and Gladstone's lunch was already placed on the coffee table.

"A ham sandwich, a cup of coffee, an orange..."

A very simple lunch, which is also the most common lunch for most people in the Federation. Lynch is almost the same, but with a few more cookies.

"Yesterday O'Brien came to me through someone else and talked about the fact that he is now in danger."

Gladstone was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "I know he is a very unsociable person."

"You know, for many people, the Senate is the final destination, but reaching the final destination does not mean there is no need to work hard."

“Sometimes here you need people’s approval more than ever.”

"And now is the critical moment!"

Gladstone's words had made it very clear. The general election was coming, and it seemed that there were still a year and seven months left.

But it is impossible to really start to exert efforts in the last three months. Instead, we must actively prepare from now on. When the general election begins, the winner will be directly determined.

What needs to be done before this is to ensure a high degree of unity of opinion within the party. Previously, Mr. Trueman was promoted to power by the military, and the situation within the party did not require such a high degree of unity.

Now we are fighting for control of this country in the next eight years, and it is developing at a rapid pace, eight years of control that will bring countless benefits.

Whether it is the Progressive Party or the Conservative Party, they must first purify the situation within the party before the general election.

O'Brien is unsociable and arrogant, these are his very obvious shortcomings.

Someone wanted to mess with him, and at the same time, it solved some problems to a certain extent, so everyone acquiesced.

Gladstone took a bite of the sandwich. The salty taste of the ham made the sandwich much more delicious.

He swallowed the food in his mouth and asked, "You want to protect him?"
