Blackstone Code

Until the actual final stage, the campaign strategy will be to keep the real candidates relatively hidden.

Generally speaking, a party will have a real presidential candidate and some people who accompany him.

For example, this year a very famous actor said that he would also run for president. He even prepared a campaign team and got to work.

Would anyone really vote for a movie actor if, on the surface, everything he does seems ridiculous?

But you can't deny that there are some possibilities, especially since everything seems to be true.

Connor was a friend of Gladstone. Gladstone had said that he wanted Connor to be the next president since he came to power, and he has been saying so.

However, a total of three presidential candidates were selected by the Progressive Party to participate in the election, and there were about four spontaneous presidential candidates in the Progressive Party camp.

Some people are very low-key, and their news is almost invisible, while some people are very high-profile, such as Connor, who always appears on the TV screen.

But is he really a real "presidential candidate"?

Not certainly.

Before the final stage, anyone can be true and anyone can be false.

Hypothesis is just a hypothesis.

Assuming that Connor is fake, he could have withdrawn from the election at the final stage and let his supporters support the real presidential candidate.

This is almost a common practice in federal elections, and the purpose of doing so is to confuse competitors and make them unsure who is the real "trump", so that they cannot formulate careful targeted plans earlier. .

In the final stage, the "discussions" between presidents will become very important, and this is also a highly targeted time.

The debates on television, the mutual accusations and attacks, although it may seem a bit too down-to-earth, are an essential part of the election.

Just as Connor asked the Director-General to investigate these people, the people on the list and the parties behind them were also investigating Connor and others.

When necessary, expose each other's dirt. Whoever has the least dirt and who is the most likable will likely become the president.

But before that, there must be careful investigation and planning, and then a targeted public opinion war.

The director-general silently recorded all these names in his heart, and praised Connor for his hospitality——

"It was a nice dinner, Mr. Connor."

The meal did not last long, and Connor did not leave the chief to have more exchanges. There was a Lynch between them.

Connor would not think that with a few words or a meal, he could take the chief director away from Lynch and make him his own.

So he didn't waste any time, just simply told him what to do, and then let him leave quickly.

When the director-general returned home, he sat on the sofa, and his wife massaged his shoulders from behind. This was also a way for them to get along as a couple.

Unlike other senior government officials, the director of the FBI is not a very "showy" position.

It's possible that a certain minister's wife appears in the newspaper all day long, or like the president's wives, they may make news at every turn.

The wife of the director of the FBI is just an ordinary housewife, and almost no one knows her.

While she enjoys some of the privileges brought by her husband, she also loses something.

She is a contented woman, satisfied with her current life, and occasionally pleasing her husband is a normal interaction between husband and wife.

"Want me to heat up some food for you?" she asked.

The director-general shook his head, "I've already eaten."

She didn't ask who he was with, where he was, or what he was eating. She just continued to massage his shoulders in silence.

Looking at the house, which he usually didn't think was cramped, he suddenly felt a sense of small confinement.

This was something he had never experienced before.

He had been to Lynch's villa and Lynch's manor in the suburbs, but nothing was like today, with so many complicated feelings.

Maybe the "country of seventy-four people" gave him a lot of shock that can't be described in words, maybe...

There were many things affecting him that he couldn't explain and couldn't distinguish.

"Is work tiring?", his wife asked.

The director-general shook his head, "I was just wondering when I could change my house..."

The next day, Lynch learned about the director-general's "experience" and saw the list.

He didn't say anything, it was just an ordinary "job".

Connor is very careful, even the Socialist Party's presidential candidate has been included in his investigation list, or he wants to win too much.

But this is quite normal. After all, the ruling class and the specific control of power are completely different things.

After many years, he and his family want to hold great power again, that's all.

This is actually just a new "reincarnation".

In mid-December, after more than two months of "hype" in Marillo, slogans about "Marillo people governing Marillo" were shouted.

In fact, this behavior was very un-Marillo, but under the influence of beer and fried chicken, the Marillo people realized that this was actually a trick of the fucking federal people!

They quickly accepted this fact and began to cooperate——

On the one hand, this slogan and its content indeed resonated with the people of Marillo, even if the Federation really wanted to annex Marillo as some rumors said.

They also hope that the Marillos will rule them, at least this way they won't have too many complicated emotions and won't feel... weak.

They have admitted the fact of being conquered without even resisting, and the Marillo people's governance here will make them feel that the so-called "federalization" is just a political method of compromise.

On the other hand, the Federation's influence among the Marillo people is growing, and young people's sense of identity with the Federation has increased as never before.

These young people actively participated in various political movements, and they became a banner and a trend.

So when the federal government started to act, they responded positively.

And the voices gathered from these responses began to influence public opinion.

The federal media have also begun to report on these things one after another. Interestingly, about 45% of the people in public opinion polls believe that such suggestions should be supported.

The reasons for support are mainly divided into "Marillo people know the situation in Marillo better" and "we need to avoid confrontational emotions."

Thirty-nine percent of the people were opposed, and the reasons for the objections were mainly focused on "we don't need more people competing with us for jobs", "they will reduce social security" and "this is Invasion!" Enter.

Others held an indifferent attitude, knowing little about Mariro and unwilling to understand him.

If there is public support, politicians will take action. Sometimes politics is very simple, that is, someone says something and then someone does it. This is politics.

Sometimes politics can be very complicated, and it requires mobilizing the power of the whole society from the bottom up.

In the end, only the person who created the problem can solve it!

Amid the buzz of public opinion, the young president and his wife set off for the federal and Marillo border. Officials did not give a precise definition of visit, or return home.

They only explained the destination of the young president and his wife and what they were going to do, and they did not add any more details.

In fact, the purpose of this trip is to sign a treaty...

Lynch had no intention of being involved, and this "historic moment" has two sides to everyone.

Sometimes it’s a huge advantage, sometimes it’s a huge risk!

Just like when isolationism was prevalent, when the former president first came to power, everyone praised him and the conservative party’s political platform as being ahead of the world!

While wars were burning all over the world, the Federation was exceptionally quiet. They enjoyed the benefits of isolationism.

But it won't be long before they start paying the price for what they've done.

Isolationism has been criticized as "escapism", and all politicians who rely on "isolationism" to come to power and become "stars" have paid a heavy price for this!

So Lynch doesn't want to participate in such a historic, volatile and polarizing event.

But sometimes, even he cannot achieve complete autonomy in many things.

The whole thing was promoted by him. If he didn't participate, others might not be relieved.

Against this background, Lynch and the young president took his special plane to the border of Marillo.

When the plane landed, the young president's expression was a little dazed.

This journey was too fast for him!

And this also made him realize more deeply that Marillo would never be able to escape federal control.

Because it's too close!

It was so close that it only took a few hours for the federal army to appear in the sky above Marillo. It was so close that they didn't even have time to react. The war started and ended!

"Everyone who flies for the first time will feel a little uncomfortable, but you will get used to it and you will fly back and forth often in the future."

Lynch is not God and cannot guess what the young president is thinking. He just thinks that the young president is not used to traveling by plane.

In fact, there are still many people who cannot accept and are unwilling to try airplanes. They always think that this thing is too dangerous, but in fact it is not as dangerous as people think.

Many wealthy people in the Federation have begun to book luxurious private jets, which has become the next big business for Blackstone Airlines.

Airports are being built all over the world, and airplanes will be accepted by the world as the main means of transportation in the future.

The little president nodded slightly and stood up holding on to the armrest.

Lynch helped him adjust his collar, "Let's go, everyone is waiting for you!"

Then the young president walked to the boarding gate of the plane with his head held high. When he stood at the top of the boarding ladder and came out of the plane, people cheered throughout the airport...
