Blackstone Code

It was overcast on Sunday night, and it started to rain at dawn on Monday morning.

A spring rain.

The rain was clearly well timed for the kids, who could wear rubber boots and tread water without worrying about the cold weather.

It’s not too bad for the workers, it’s just a bit boring at most.

But for people in the middle and upper classes, rain is obviously their least favorite weather, because raindrops and dust from the ground bounce up and fall on their trouser legs.

Or maybe the soles of their shoes will carry mud and water into a high-end place, leaving rows of black footprints.

This is not what well-bred ladies and gentlemen should do. Ladies tend to stay at home at this time, while gentlemen try to be careful or carry two pairs of shoes with them.

Use one pair for driving, and then change to another pair of leather shoes when you get to the parking lot or rest room.

The rich and powerful gentlemen didn't like the bad weather, but they had to go to the Capitol.

Standing by his office window, smoking a cigarette, the Senate President enjoyed watching the Capitol as it descended into the building on rainy days.

They held roughly the same dark umbrellas, which looked like dirty water splashes rising from the sewer on a rainy day, black splashes.

This metaphor may be a bit ironic, but this is the truest thought of the Speaker.

The team leader is sitting on the chair behind him. After all the proposals are completed, the speaker will submit a resignation application to Congress and recommend the team leader to succeed him.

Lynch has already prepared for Slem the goals he needs to strive for next, and thoughtfully provided him with everything he needed.

The Speaker was mentally prepared, but as the day got closer, he felt a little reluctant.

After working in Congress for so many years, he had a lot to say but didn’t know what to say.

He wanted to summarize the achievements during his tenure, but most of them were initiated by congressmen and had nothing to do with him. At most, he only expressed support for some proposals from a neutral position.

But to be honest, it has nothing to do with him, not entirely. After all, political struggles are definitely inseparable from his participation.

But these things cannot be published as a summary of his work - "During the many years that I have been in office, I have kicked out... a total of 100 congressmen..."

Saying this will offend a lot of people and make you look like an idiot.

He returned to the chair and sat down, patting the armrest, "Lynch has thirteen votes here, you have seven votes, and I have probably seven to eight votes here, which adds up to less than half."

According to the current vote of 63 seats in Congress, at least 32 people need to agree before the leader can become the president of the Bundesrat.

If they are more conservative, they may need at least ten stable votes to have a chance of realizing this possibility.

The team leader also knew that the current number of votes was very dangerous. He felt like there were small bugs crawling around on his body. It was not itchy, but it was very irritating.

He twisted his body a few times and readjusted his sitting posture, "I plan to win over those people from the Socialist Party."

The speaker was a little surprised, and then he was not very optimistic about his idea. "The Socialist Party will always be a marginalized group, and their identity is very sensitive. You may make things worse."

The Socialist Party’s current three seats are supported by the power of foreign capital, compared with the support of the two major parties, the Progressive Party and the Conservative Party, and the support of countless federal capitalists behind them.

It is difficult for foreign capitalists to integrate into these groups and become the main supporters of the Progressive Party or the Conservative Party.

They can only change direction and strongly support the Socialist Party. The Socialist Party lacks the support of capital power and is willing to accept the power of foreign capital.

And there are rumors that they have made follow-up plans and plan to use the Jinyuan offensive to win several swing states.

In particular, the five states on the Mariro side are also included in their plans.

Marillo is very poor and will welcome the entry of capital. The entry of big capital forces can provide more employment opportunities and per capita income.

As long as these people enjoy the benefits of capital, they will give their votes to the capitalists and the socialist party.

The principles and methods are simple, but often the simplest ones are also the most effective.

The local capitalists and politicians in the Federation don't like what these people do.

Local capitalists believe that overseas capitalists have not experienced the enthusiasm of local capitalists and have not been exploited and annexed, so they cannot be considered local capital in the true sense.

What they do is actually challenging the social rules that have been established for more than two hundred years, so many people are not cold to them or even disgusted with them.

The team leader wants to use the votes of the Socialist Party, and if he is not careful, it may trigger more chain reactions.

After thinking for a moment, the team leader nodded cautiously, "I will think about it again."

The Speaker felt relieved and reminded, "You can seek support from Gladstone and the others. Although this guy has some problems as a person, he still has abilities."

What the speaker said about "something wrong with his life" refers to his attitude towards the former chairman of the party committee. As the heir to the political legacy, he should at least show respect for his predecessor.

But he only endured it for two years after he came to power, and then he began to vigorously replace people in important positions within the party, purging all the previous supporters of the short old man.

Logically speaking, it is not too much for him to do this. After all, this is his era, and he must put his own people in important positions.

But he did it too quickly and too ruthlessly. Except for the leader, the mascot, which was left untouched, he almost cleaned it from top to bottom.

Many people complained about this, but at the same time he received full support from the young faction within the party.

Compared with the "gerontocracy", the young people believe that they are the future of the Federation, and Gladstone mainly appoints politicians between the ages of thirty and fifty, so the young people give him a lot of support.

In everyone's eyes, Gladstone was very capable, but very snobbish. He would help anyone who could give him more benefits and rewards.

The team leader nodded again. He would have a good talk with Gladstone. After all, he is also a member of the Progressive Party camp. Isn't it normal to seek support?

The meeting began soon, and the content of the meeting was to continue voting on proposals that had not been voted on before.

The whole morning was spent in dull voting and canvassing for votes.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, the meeting ended temporarily, and the rest will be held until June.

The rain hadn't stopped yet, and reporters gathered around them the moment they saw the MPs walking out of the gate.

Congress has no secrets. Sometimes it really has no secrets, and sometimes it needs to have no secrets.

As lawmakers are interviewed and more and more information is revealed, many issues related to the reform of the military system have received a huge boost.

For example, the transfer of internal military disciplinary inspection rights to the Ministry of National Defense has been passed.

However, the approach is slightly relaxed. While the military itself is allowed to have disciplinary departments, the Ministry of National Defense also has the right to conduct disciplinary inspections.

The Ministry of Defense said it was difficult not to laugh.

In addition, the proposal to amend the terms of reference of the Military Budget Committee was also passed, and the Military Budget Committee no longer has the power to appropriate funds.

After the military budget is submitted to the committee for approval, it is sent to the Appropriations Committee with recommendations, and then the money is released from the treasury after approval.

This is equivalent to another lock on the military's request for money, because financial allocations can reject budget applications submitted by the Military Budget Committee for review. In the future, it will be even more troublesome for the military to simply get money.

As for the reform of the Military Commission, it was not passed because it is a large and important committee. If the commissioner of the military agency does not have the right to vote, the non-military members of Congress will make mistakes on key issues.

It's like letting a group of laymen decide what the experts should do. Congress isn't all stupid, so it didn't pass.

However, the conservative camp members who initiated this proposal submitted new supplementary content to expand the voting seats within the committee, add more members to it, and add subordinate agencies to supervise the work of the military committee in many aspects.

In short, this is another very complicated and big change, and it is very likely that it will not be decided this year.

The main reason for so many changes is directly related to the federal army sex scandal exposed by Gianna and the arson that just happened.

The newspaper used a completely risk-taking attitude to expose some military supporters within the Congress.

The reason why the military can cause unrest to society is mainly because some politicians collude with the military.

For members of Congress, what they fear most is this thing. If the people don't support them, the governor will definitely replace them.

Otherwise, people will not vote for the governor. Although everyone knows that the regional assembly, that is, the state assembly, makes the list, the state assembly listens to the governor.

Such a complicated relationship may confuse many people, but that doesn't matter. As long as the governor is replaced, the state government and regional councils will undergo a major change, and their purpose will be achieved.

So when public opinion began to boil and there was a clear target, these congressmen did not care about the requirements of the military-industrial complex behind them and directly voted in favor.

As long as they are still members and have value, people will take the initiative to contact them.

On the contrary, if one day they lose their rights because of doing something stupid, then the supporters behind them will suddenly disappear.

No one will always support them just because they insist on certain conditions. No one is a fool!

The power of the people seems to be defeating the top brass of federal society, and even the military has begun to gradually disclose the results of its investigations to the outside world.

At this time, Lynch had already left the Federation on a plane heading to the venue for the World Economic Leaders Summit.
