Blackstone Code

A president in peacetime can never avoid congressional trouble.

The President is big, but Congress is even bigger!

It’s really a big deal. If the Congress impeaches you, even the president won’t be able to bear it!

Gladstone felt very comfortable with Lynch's decisive answer, and Lynch's attitude was satisfactory.

He said with emotion, "We should strengthen cooperation in Congress, so that even if we cannot control Congress, we can become the most powerful force."

Lynch nodded again, but didn't take his words seriously.

The members of Congress do not rely too much on the power of party committees. Their own strength is part of it.

Looking at the current federal Congress, apart from the York gang, how many senators come from ordinary families?

All of them are either from big capitalist families or from political families.

At the initial stage of their entry into the political arena, or even at the intermediate stage, the power of the party is still very important to them.

But when it comes to the later stage, they can completely maintain their identity.

Except of course the York gang.

There is a joke in Congress that the York gang is a trash can and they put all kinds of garbage in it.

Although it was disguised as a "joke", Shi could feel the contemptuous attitude of other gentlemen towards these people, describing them as "trash".

But these "trash" people don't dare to make up a "joke" to fight back, because they all know that they are not qualified.

Lynch may have, but Lynch wouldn't be that irrational.

It doesn't matter to Lynch whether it is garbage or not, even if it is really garbage, at the critical moment, those gentlemen will come to the garbage dump and ask them, the garbage, to vote for them.

At that moment, it’s hard to tell who is the trash!

People often say that nature is a cruel world where the fittest survive by natural selection. In fact, the same is true for politics, and it is even more cruel!

Gladstone did not have very strong control over the members of Congress, so sometimes he had to make great efforts to promote certain proposals.

This is not in his interest, and if Lynch is willing to help, a lot of things can be saved.

When a proposal becomes a "trend", those who originally voted against it can quickly side with the trend, even if no benefits are given to them.

Next, everyone lost and lost, and the main discussion was about some things in the election.

Lynch sponsored 20 million for Connor's election, which has set a record for personal election donations, and the money is definitely enough!

Including donations from other capitalists, the campaign office had a revenue of 47 million as soon as it was established.

Sufficient funds make the atmosphere in the campaign office very relaxed. This is not the first day for everyone to engage in electoral strategies, and everyone knows that elections are a waste of money.

So both the campaign office and Connor are very optimistic at the moment.

What he has to do is try to win as many votes as possible in swing states and improve his personal charm!

The poker game lasted until five in the afternoon, and when everyone was about to leave and everyone went to the bathroom, Connor took the time to make a phone call to Lynch.

A little later, the two arranged to meet at a club.

Member-only clubs are always safe and reliable.

Apart from the rattan chairs and coffee tables that can be seen at a glance, there are no other more decorations in the square room.

This also eliminates the possibility of recording or filming to the greatest extent.

"I know you may be a little unhappy today, but you must believe that this is not our intention."

Connor apologized very actively. When Norinco found them, they realized that agreeing to Mr. Pumpty's request would definitely make Lynch dissatisfied.

Lynch's current support for the election, apart from workers in Sabine City, is only financial assistance.

Financial assistance is not too difficult for Connor. He can still find more, but it is enough for now. He has rejected donations from others.

If you exclude his financial expertise, Lynch's role in his election is actually not as good as that of Norinco.

However, there are some things that we cannot just look at in the immediate future, but also have to take a long-term view, such as the "York Gang".

The president cannot avoid Congress, he can only participate in it and find ways to gain more advantages according to the rules of the game.

So Lynch has become a link that cannot be avoided.

His apology at this time was also well thought out. Lynch did not blame him, but smiled and said that these were small things.

Connor was sincere, "Lynch, there's still one year left."

"After I win the election, no matter what you want to do with them, I can do it for you!"

"But I have to win first. I know it's a bit harsh to say that. I hope you understand."

Connor confessed his sincerity. Lynch thought for a moment and raised his glass, "I'm looking forward to this day..."

On the third day of the meeting, which was also a Friday and a weekend, the news that Connor was infected by Mr. Trueman's great sentiment and decided to build a monument to him spread out in the society.

To this end, Connor also gave a public speech. Lynch watched the broadcast video. There were many supporters of Mr. Trueman at the scene.

They attended the speech holding Mr. Trueman's photo, and gave the most positive response to Connor's speech!

In Connor's speech, he elevated Mr. Trueman to the level of a "national hero" and called him "one of the greatest presidents of the Union."

He also told me all the things he had done. There were also some things that were not actually done by Mr. Trueman, but they were also pinned on him.

At this damn time, who would argue with Connor or a dead president over such trivial matters?

Connor's character was also well established, and many people were impressed by his performance.

Except for his rivals, who are scolding him, everyone else thinks this is a humane candidate.

The Trueman Monument will be built in a park about one kilometer away from the Presidential Palace, with a total height of 19 meters and 80 centimeters.

Every day it will bathe in the first ray of sunshine and usher in light, and a memorial hall of about 500 square meters will be built in the park. The entire project costs about 1.2 million to 1.5 million.

No one is curious about where the money comes from, who will provide it, and how it will be used. They only care about when this monument and memorial hall will be built.

It is said that some people have proposed to dig out Mr. Trueman's coffin and bury it under the monument. If he knew before his death that he would be weighed down by dozens or hundreds of tons of rocks after his death, he might consider living a little longer. .

As the weather gets warmer, the entire city begins to recover, but what is scary is that the "plumber" seems to be awakening from hibernation.

In late January, another woman died in a motel bed.

Her limbs were bound, she was violated before her death, and her life was ended in a gruesome manner.

According to the murder method, this case was incorporated into the "Plumber Perverted Serial Killer Series", and the investigation against the "Plumber" became intensive again.

This time, the FBI got some important clues.

They found an eyewitness who said that the deceased was actually a street girl who got into a luxury car on the roadside the day before she was killed.

Because it is still winter, the indoor glass windows are always covered with water mist, and the witnesses did not deliberately record the license plate number, so the witnesses cannot provide a clear license plate number.

He could only provide a very limited range - a local license plate in Bupen!

The owner of the motel failed to provide any useful clues. It was the victim who came to check in and he did not see another tenant.

As for the luxury car and its license plate, he didn't leave the hotel because it was too cold, so he didn't know.

Although there are not many clues, there is already a general direction, and the process of the incident that day has been roughly restored.

Luxury cars are not uncommon in Bupain, so the locals are relatively familiar with the brands and models of luxury cars. In the process of searching for more witnesses on a large scale.

A restaurant waiter said that he saw a Haus luxury car driving nearby at a time that roughly corresponded to the time of the incident.

The reason why she remembered it so clearly was because she saw the car running back and forth twice, and the speed was not fast.

But she was also unable to provide the license plate number. The glass wall of the restaurant was covered with water vapor, and even if she kept wiping it, it was still unclear.

The FBI then began to look for the registrant of the Haus limousine from the Road Traffic Bureau's files. There were approximately more than 1,100 Haus limousines in the entire Bupen.

This suddenly reduced the number of criminal suspects from a state of nothingness to more than 1,100 people, and the rest was to investigate bit by bit.

With a goal in mind, the agents responsible for the case became motivated.

In fact, being able to crack such an influential case is a huge opportunity for all participants!

Their experience is one of the very important criteria when promoting. After all, the FBI is a public safety agency.

The breaking rate is the confidence to speak loudly.

Amid the turmoil of public opinion, time always flies by, and one month has passed in the blink of an eye.

In February, spring is everywhere in Bupen, and the cold wind blowing on the body will not penetrate into the bones like before, the coldness is only on the surface.

Within a few days, the nephew of the FBI director came to visit Lynch.

"There's something I...want to ask you."

Lynch nodded. This was in the study room, there was no one else.

The young man asked thoughtfully, "About five to six years ago, the company under your name disposed of a batch of luxury cars. Can I ask where these cars went?"

Seeing Lin Qi's confused expression, he took the initiative to explain, "The registration information of these vehicles is still in the name of your company, but I went to the company to inquire and found that the owners of these vehicles have changed..."
