Blackstone Code

"Lynch!"

Connor shouted Lynch's name, strode towards Lynch under the eager eyes of people, and the two hugged.

When Lynch raised his hand, Connor didn't stop, so he could only hold his hand and turn it into a hug.

After briefly greeting each other, the two walked aside.

"This beautiful young lady must be Lady Catherine. It's a pleasure to see you here."

The two briefly shook hands and soon let go.

Connor has seen Catherine's photos, and many people are actually envious of this "lucky" woman from the bottom of their hearts.

Including some senior, even top politicians.

Lynch didn't care about the support he gave her since she graduated from college, making her path extremely smooth!

Presidential Palace intern, core member of social movement organization, city councilor, mayor, governor...

Except that she is a little younger, there is no shortcomings in her resume.

Including the period when she worked for Ms. Tracy in a feminist organization, it can also be seen as her experience of sinking into the lowest level of society to engage in specific work.

This kind of experience is actually rare. As long as it can continue to rise in the future, it will definitely become a bonus.

With a beautiful resume and impressive achievements, and now holding Slem, a city that can print money, in her hands, her rise is unstoppable!

Moreover, supporting Catherine's entry into Congress was also one of the conditions for Lynch's deal with him.

For those who don't understand the federal political system, Congress is Congress and it doesn't mean much else.

But for those with even a passing familiarity with the federal political system, it's all clear.

Entering Congress is technically consistent with the process of running for president.

The Federation is a free and fair country, and anyone can run for president, including one of the Federation's most famous male stars.

He is a good friend of Connor. In order to help Connor, he also announced his participation in the election and organized his own campaign team.

Anyone can run for office, and the person who can truly become President of the Federation has never been selected from the perspective of "freedom and justice."

These presidents either come from political families, or they are representatives of a huge interest group when they run for office, such as Mr. Trueman.

He not only has the support of Lynch, but also the support of the military and the Progressive Party, so his campaign can be successful.

Except for him and a very few people, the president of the Federation basically comes from three places.

The Federal Congress, the federal government, and political families!

Catherine was not from a political family, and there were no senior government officials in her immediate family.

If she wants to run for president, the only thing she can offer is her status as a governor.

But this identity does not play a big role for her, a young woman.

If you want to get the few opportunities, you can only hype some changes, such as... the first female president of the Federation!

But this is difficult. In the short term, Catherine does not have the opportunity to run for president, and she must be active on the political stage and frequently appear in front of the TV.

Then the only place to go is Congress.

As a senator, running for president complies with the process and meets the conditions.

With the blessing of dual identities as governor and senator, her campaign path will be much easier.

Connor also envied Catherine. After all, Lynch devoted himself to her without reservation.

Unlike him now, the help his family can give him is not very great, but they try their best.

Although Gladstone had a good relationship with him and was willing to fully support him, Gladstone did not ask for nothing in return.

Including Lynch and other supporters, everyone who supports him has a purpose.

These people are like the gamblers in Slem Casino. What they care about is the odds after winning, rather than simply spending money to participate in the game without expecting anything in return.

Lynch’s support for Catherine didn’t require much in return, it was just support!

Catherine smiled very reservedly, "I'm honored that Mr. Connor has heard of me. I'm a little surprised by such a compliment!"

Connor shook his head and said, "Nagalil has an increasing influence on the Federation mainland. As the founder, Ms. Catherine, you will have your own page in the history book."

“This is something a lot of people are craving, including me!”

"So it's not an exaggerated compliment."

"I think the federal government should pay more attention to the situation here and speed up the pace of development here."

"The local market in the Federation has become saturated. Only by constantly expanding outward can our market continue to prosper..."

It was a very official chat, but it was true. At the same time, Connor conveyed a meaning to Lynch and Catherine.

After he takes office, he will support Catherine's work here. Although Catherine only has two years left in her term, she can do more with the support of the federal government.

Whether state governments and regions can develop smoothly depends entirely on whether the federal government provides policies.

For example, if a certain area has many rivers and lakes and is rich in aquatic resources, if the federal government reduces the tax rate on aquatic products, it will provide subsidies and tax rebates for the export of aquatic products.

Then the economic ecology of this region will be improved in no time.

But if the federal government not only refuses to provide any preferential policies, but Congress also proposes studies such as "Whether the development of Danshui aquaculture will affect the ecological environment," then this region will have no choice but to give up its own advantageous resources and turn to the development of other areas where there is little. Advantage industries.

Therefore, although the governor has the ability to confront the federal government head-on, if he wants to develop well and develop smoothly, he still needs to have a good relationship with the federal government.

The next two years for Catherine will surely be two years of shining political achievements, and will also lay the foundation for her to enter Congress.

After chatting for a few words, Connor said hello to Garton again.

He has seen the Speaker of the Joint Parliament. Judging from the photos, this is also a quality that a politician must develop.

They may not understand the result of a middle school math problem, nor may they know the impact of sewage discharged from chemical plants on the environment.

But they must master some abilities that are not completely needed by others, such as acting skills, such as the ability to quickly and deeply remember people and names.

Garton was a little flustered and bent slightly to hold Mr. Connor's hand, showing his humility and humility.

It is also an opportunity for him to have a few words with the hot federal candidate.

The dinner officially begins. It is a dinner similar to a buffet, or maybe more like a dance.

Except for a few people who eat non-stop, most people eat only a small amount and spend the rest of their time socializing.

Dressing for formal occasions is always a headache. For both men and women, as long as they take off their pants and skirts and want to put them back on, it is not an easy task.

So everyone should try not to go to the toilet during the dinner, drink as little as possible, and eat as little as possible.

The protagonist tonight is His Excellency the Lieutenant General. The governors of the three states stood and chatted with him after the dinner started.

Although Catherine is not in the core position, no one dares to ignore her, and Slem has an additional military budget of 300 million every year, so it is impossible for the Lieutenant General to neglect Catherine.

Connor stood next to Lynch, looking at the bustling dinner with some emotion.

"My approval rating has increased a lot, Lynch, I don't know how to thank you enough!"

Originally, the difference between his approval rating and the highest approval rating among the Conservatives was only a dozen percentage points.

This dozen percent is actually the same as no gap in the general election.

Polls in swing states are the most inaccurate. With luck, the randomly selected people support the Progressive Party, so the support rate for the Progressive Party candidate in swing states may be as high as 80 or 90 percent.

But it is difficult to predict what the actual situation will be, and until the last day, no one can guarantee whether the voters who have chosen themselves will change their goals.

This is not impossible.

However, Connor did get the support of many young voters this time because of his remarks on the Nagalir issue.

Compared with middle-aged and elderly people, young people are more unrestrained and enthusiastic, with a clear distinction between love and hate.

Connor's uncompromising attitude and his "smartness" have increased his approval rating to 69%, which is only a hair away from 70%.

It has surpassed the Conservative candidate with the highest support by 21%!

There have been many supporters among the voters from the middle and lower classes of society, which is a good phenomenon.

The campaign team believes that as long as they keep going, they have a high chance of winning the election!

And a large part of the credit for this belongs to Lynch!

Lin Qi smiled and said nothing.

Connor then told another story.

"Lynch, do you think we should include the five states in Marillo and the three states here in the voting system?"

Lynch looked at Connor with some surprise. This idea should be his own idea, not Gladstone's.

"Why do you think so?"

Connor looked at the lively hall and the people in clothes, and said softly, "Marillo and the people here have entered Congress. Isn't it a great idea to give the people in these places the right to vote?"

Lynch immediately understood what he meant if he gave the people in these areas the right to vote.

Then there is no doubt that the only person these empowered voters will support is him!

This seemed stupid to Lynch, because these areas were not really federal territory, and they had not officially joined the federation.

It is not a good thing to be so eager to give the people in these areas the right to participate in the presidential election!

On the contrary, it may bring considerable international pressure.

The Federation is already very powerful, and no one wants it to have ambitions for external expansion while it is powerful.

However, Lynch did not directly oppose him, but continued to add some "sensitive"... things to him.

"Have you discussed these ideas with Gladstone?"

In an instant, Kang An's brows wrinkled!
