Blackstone Code

Some things cannot be hidden.

Not long after Lynch arrived at home, Ferrara came to visit.

Now some people already know that Ferrara and Lynch have a good relationship, such as the mayor.

This situation is very common, everyone has their own social circle and friends, and he also understands what Ferrara's purpose is, which is no different from his original practice.

As long as his interests are not harmed, he will not interfere with this kind of communication between the two, and sometimes it is even more convenient for the mayor to do certain things if they have such a relationship.

For example, right now.

Ferrara declined Lynch to bring him some coffee, and asked directly, "What is Edward's purpose in bringing you here?"

If such a question is not closely related, it is absolutely impossible to ask it. Even if Ferrara can open his mouth, Lynch will not answer it. Only when it is related can he ask such a straightforward question.

Lynch asked the maid to make him a cup of coffee. He had already drank, and now he needs some coffee to refresh himself. In fact, he yearns for green tea more, but there is no such thing in this world.

After thinking for a while, he said lightly, "He intends to advocate his own ideas, and has pulled some people to his side. They plan to talk to the trade union in a few days to see if they can solve the current trouble."

Hearing what Lynch said, Ferrara's expression became obviously solemn. There is no doubt that Edward's private actions are very despicable. This kind of matter should be dealt with by the city hall, not by a member of the State House of Representatives. He It's not the specific ruling class of Sabine City, he has exceeded his authority.

What makes Ferrara even more unhappy is that if Congressman Edward really succeeds, then he will gain a huge reputation in Sabine City, which will lay the foundation for his success in his next possible election for mayor.

From the current point of view, he is the mayor's competitor. If he succeeds, he will make the mayor look like he has done nothing and is really stupid as the rumors say.

From the perspective of the future, he is Ferrara's competitor again, and he has revealed his obvious purpose of running for the mayor of Sabine City, which will be a terrible opponent!

And this opponent has already begun to act in advance.

"This news is very important..." Ferrara couldn't sit still anymore. Once Congressman Edward builds up momentum, it is very likely that the results of the mayor's behind-the-scenes work will be regarded as the result of Congressman Edward's passage. Great results for time work.

He stood up and was about to say goodbye, but Lynch pointed to the sofa and didn't let him go, "In just a few minutes, I have a new idea, maybe we can talk about it."

Ferrara looked at Lynch for a while, then sat down again, "I hope your thoughts won't be too long."

This made Lynch laugh because Ferrara rarely complains, that's what he does, he's made it this far, he basically doesn't complain anymore, but he does, and that's funny .

After laughing for a while, Lynch's voice narrowed and became steady, "I want to take down the power company."

Ferrara was stunned for a moment, "I'm afraid this is not easy to handle, the power company is behind the people in the state..."

Such a business that is related to people's livelihood and has a considerable profit is often not really a business for some unrelated people. It has long been a part of the state's interest cycle.

There is another group company behind the Sabine City Power Supply Company, and this group company has a very close relationship with the governor and the top leaders of the Progressive Party. It is not ordinary difficult to get food out of their mouths .

"But they are obviously standing in the wrong place. The more it is like this, the more they should be standing in the right place..." Lynch paused, he realized that it would not be that simple, but he did not expect it to be so The complexity involved the governor and the top leaders of the Progressive Party.

After pondering for a moment, he changed his mind, "What if I set up another power supply company and deliver electricity to the city grid at a relatively low price?"

Ferrara thought for a while, then nodded, "Those people in the Central Power Grid only talk about money. If you show some kindness, they won't refuse your request."

Central Power Grid is a listed company. Yes, it is not a government agency, but a joint-stock enterprise. In addition to Central Power Grid, there are Eastern Power Grid, Western Power Grid, Southern Power Grid, and Northern Power Grid. These five power grid companies were originally family.

Their predecessor was the Federal Grid, but as the anti-monopoly law began to be implemented across the Federation, the Federal Grid was split into five grid companies, each with the largest and densest power supply network on its own site.

And the power of these companies has not been transferred because of the split of the company. They still belong to a certain person, or a certain family and the interest group surrounding a certain person.

Through various cross-shareholding methods, in the eyes of the public, the trust group has been dismembered by public opinion and justice. In fact, they just changed their appearance and penetrated into the public, mixing with the public.

Businesses at this level don't care who supplies power to their grid, they only care about how much money they can make, and with their energy, it's not something local authorities can easily interfere with their decisions.

A random city-wide or even state-wide blackout is enough to make the ruler take the initiative to put down his face and choose to compromise.

Seeing Lynch's calm expression, Ferrara couldn't help but hit him, "I'm not very optimistic about your plan. The Federal Environment Agency has rarely approved applications for thermal power. Even if the local government interferes, they will not let go. , you have to be mentally prepared.”

The electricity provided by the current power company in Sabine City comes from thermal power generation. In addition to the necessary various energy sources, they will also incinerate urban waste, which is also a popular way to deal with urban waste.

Especially in big cities, if a large amount of garbage is just landfilled, it cannot be handled at all. On the contrary, it is much easier to incinerate.

The parts that can be burned will be burned to generate electricity, and those that cannot be burned, such as metals, can be sent back to the factory. With financial subsidies for garbage disposal, the electricity generated by combustion is sold and various subsidies, the power company can still make money.

However, the environmental pollution caused by thermal power is also a huge problem. The Federal Environmental Agency has rarely approved the approval of thermal power projects, and even if there is a relationship, it is useless.

After all, there will always be some poor people in every region who can resist the influence of money on certain issues. If these people can't be dealt with, the project will definitely not be approved.

Lynch shook his head, did not go into detail, and then let Ferrara leave.

In fact, his idea is not thermal power, but hydropower, and he even wants to get involved in water plants.

He heard from Hart that the lake next to Hart's houses that he bought with the club's land may be artificially expanded in the next five to ten years to become a new water source for Sabine City.

The current water source is almost at full capacity. Once the urban population increases, the economy improves in the future, and the population concentrates in the city again, there will inevitably be a huge water shortage, and new water sources must be activated.

A lake without flow cannot be a source of water. If you want to make it flow, you must divert and draw it out. If you use the height difference of the terrain to build three or five small and medium-sized hydropower stations, the water company will also be merged. He thinks That's perfectly fine.

As for the current water power company disagreeing?

That's impossible. Lynch, as a "representative" of dozens of residents by the lake, said that they only agree with Lynch's company to legally use the water there.

The next morning, the situation in Sabine City suddenly changed. The city hall announced to the society that it would select 15 representatives of striking workers from all walks of life to enter the city hall and sit face to face with the mayor to resolve the current situation. some problems.

It seems that precisely because of this news, the chaotic city suddenly became a little quieter than the previous few days. It can also be seen from this that no one wants to see things develop to the present.

People are looking forward to, looking forward to this matter can be resolved satisfactorily.

Meanwhile, in Bupain, the capital of the Confederacy, there was also a parade there.

On the night of November 22, some young people deviated from the parade without registration and explanation. During the confrontation with the riot police, fierce conflicts occurred.

One teenager was shot four times and died on the spot, while the other boy was shot eleven times and died in the hospital after rescue efforts failed.

Other youngsters suffered injuries ranging from serious to serious.

Although the anti-riot police at the scene claimed that these young people deviated from the route of the parade, attempted to smash up a store to seize money from it, and made a move of lighting Molotov cocktails in their hands and throwing them at the anti-riot police, but people still could not forgive them.

"The weapon that protects people's safety has become the sharp ax in the hands of the executioner to take the lives of innocent people!"

In an instant, the entire Federation was like a hot pot on fire. The pot was filled with boiling hot oil. At this moment, a drop of ice water fell on the center, and it boiled instantly!

At the same time, members of Congress once again put forward a proposal to impeach the president, and Congress began to formally accept the impeachment case of the president and entered the voting stage.

Some public opinion began to speak out after being silent for more than half a month. They believe that the biggest problem at present comes from the cabinet of the federal president. The president is busy eliminating political dissidents and ignoring the rights of the people. He is even conniving on purpose. things happen.

Talk about the incompetence of the president filled the entire federation, and the federation became a joke of the whole world.

In the relatively calm international community after the war, people also need such news to adjust.

Of course, the parties themselves are not included here!
