Blackstone Code

Lynch was also watching TV, watching Connor speak in public.

Many people came to the scene.

Federalists are very enthusiastic about elections, which is one of the reasons why federal current affairs programs always dominate prime time.

But unlike others who watched the show at home with their families, Lynch sat in Payne's campaign office to watch Connor's speech.

There were some other people around, members of the campaign team, and some politicians!

Since Connor showed an impact on the position of president, some politicians have taken the initiative to become his helpers.

These people are just dormant now, but it won't be long before they become members of the cabinet and are appointed by Connor to various important departments to serve as department heads.

There is a very interesting knowledge point here. The daily work of each cabinet department is basically presided over by the deputy.

This has also led to the fact that in some departments, the status and power of the deputy minister is higher than that of the minister, such as the former Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Those who attend all kinds of more pragmatic meetings and work are deputy ministers, and the minister's only job is to play the role of a mute on important occasions!

When the president appoints a minister, the minister is primarily responsible for the direction of the work.

Unless they have a strong desire to control, most of the time they are only responsible for telling people "what our goals are" and not leading everyone to do it together!

These people were vaguely centered on Lynch and surrounded him.

Gladstone is not here.

Lynch heard that Connor had a big quarrel with him before he left Bupen, and the quarrel was very unpleasant.

The reason for the quarrel was the issue of cabinet lists.

Gladstone hoped to insert some of his people into important departments of the federal government, such as the Security Council and the Department of Defense.

But Connor had his own ideas, and the two quarreled about it.

Gladstone felt that Connor was a villain. After receiving his selfless help, Gladstone immediately abandoned him when victory was just around the corner.

Connor believes that Gladstone is too controlling. He is not a puppet in Gladstone's hands. He has his own ideas and does not need others to teach him what to do!

The quarrel was destined to end unhappily, but at this point, Gladstone had no chance to "change generals" and could only hold his nose and admit it.

The politicians around Lynch were more or less aware of the gap between the two "good brothers", and they simply sided with Connor.

After all, after Connor wins, it is Connor, not Gladstone, who can decide their future.

Lynch watched Connor's passionate speech and took out a cigarette.

Sometimes it's like this, and suddenly I feel like... I want to have one, or reward myself.

This kind of desire comes very out of nowhere. I might have been about to fall asleep a second ago, but suddenly I sat up...

As soon as he put the cigarette in his mouth, a lighter was lit and brought to him.

He took two deep breaths and leaned back on the sofa.

"Who wrote the manuscript?", he asked.

A gentleman who looked to be about thirty-seven or eighteen years old and wearing a pair of glasses stood up and raised his hand, "I... wrote it."

He seemed a little uneasy, and Lynch smiled and motioned for him to sit back, "The writing is very good, and there is room for improvement. Add more content about Connor's personality charm."

"Although voters will understand the political platform and governance philosophy of the presidential candidate, what motivates them to vote is more the personality charm."

"As long as he is very charming in the eyes of the people, people will believe whatever he says!"

Connor is not a very strong president, so he must establish another personality, like a bowling president.

Everyone says he is a good person, whether it is his allies or his political opponents, no one says he is a bad person or a rotten person.

Even if his scandal was exposed, everyone gave him the opportunity to resign with dignity, instead of forcing him to resign voluntarily or impeaching him.

Because he is a good old man, his image is very clear. For good people, good people who are not threatening, no one will be so bored as to target him.

The uneasiness on the face of the "young man" wearing glasses slowly dissipated. He was several years older than Lynch, but in front of Lynch, he felt like he was acting like a child!

You can't judge some people's abilities based on their actual age. It's easy to make mistakes!

After Lynch chatted with them for a while, he stood up and left. He had a reception to attend in the evening.

The future Secretary-General of the Office of the President, a young man with glasses, sent Lynch to the car and watched Lynch leave before returning to the room and continuing to watch Connor's public speech.

On the other side, Lynch's motorcade passed through most of the city and finally stopped outside a large, quiet house in the suburbs.

This is not a manor, but a large single-family house with a garden.

It was much larger than a villa, but much shabbier than a real manor.

So it’s a big house!

There are already many vehicles outside the big house, and almost all of them have federal military plates!

If anyone knows anything about the federal military license plates, they will find that they are all license plates of the Central and Southern Army Military District.

Lynch changed into a set of clothes. The room was very hot, so he changed into light casual clothes.

Today's reception and banquet are not serious and solemn.

It is actually more like... something that Mr. Trueman once feared most, a kind of transaction, a kind of fornication!

When the staff opened the door to the hall, a row of officers appeared in front of Lynch.

"Mr. Lynch..."

Everyone greeted Lynch, and Lynch also greeted others enthusiastically.

"Originally, we were supposed to meet last month, but this time the rectification work of the Central and Southern Military Region was very advanced, so our work was completely completed yesterday..."

The person who spoke was the colonel from the Northern Military Region who had met Lynch last time.

And behind him were officers from the Northern Military Region!

From brigadier general to lieutenant, many people came!

Lynch shook his hand and nodded.

If the Ministry of National Defense wants to control the Central and Southern Military Region, it must completely shatter the original officer system.

A large number of mid-level officers from the north were placed in the most basic corners, and they were replaced from top to bottom.

But only generals from the north or other regions were not mobilized. Those who were mobilized here were all generals from the Ministry of National Defense.

In this way, middle-level officers will not have a mountain to rely on at the upper levels, and the Ministry of National Defense will have much stronger control over the military.

But this is also convenient for Lynch.

If there was, for example, a lieutenant general or admiral, these people would not approach him so enthusiastically.

They are moving closer now, hoping to find a force here to support their work and support them in continuing to climb up!

Lynch's relationship with Austin also indirectly gave him the opportunity to come into contact with these military backbones who came from the north and were in a state of duckweed.

Next, the colonel began to introduce Lynch from high to low, introducing the officers who came to accept Lynch's "banquet" today.

Brigadier General, Colonel, Lieutenant Colonel, Major, Captain, Lieutenant...

There are more than 40 people, and many people are temporarily unable to make it because they have been transferred to other military bases.

But the colonel said that when they have a vacation, they will come together to visit Lynch!

As the organizer of the banquet, Lynch must have something to say.

He stood on the steps from the hall to the second floor, a few steps higher than the others, and everyone's eyes were focused on him.

"Austin, one of my great loves."

"I know some people may find this funny and think it's shameful for me because my beloved still has 'one'."

"But I don't find it funny. We are sincere to each other when we get along, and that's enough!"

"I tried to keep her by my side, and she told me that the people on the front line were calling her, and the comrades on the front line were calling her. That was the call of duty!"

"She knew it was dangerous to go to the front lines, and we all know that."

"But she went anyway and stayed there forever!"

"This is what soldiers do, they give everything for the country and the people!"

"This noble spirit and personality are worthy of respect and learning by each of us!"

"I will not comment on the actions of Peleus and his family. They are tarnishing the image of the military in the minds of the people of the Federation."

"But fortunately, you are here!"

"This is not the north. You may feel strange and uncomfortable."

"But it doesn't matter, you are Austin's family, just like my family."

"If you have any unresolved problems, you can come to me."

"Whether Connor wins or not, the next secretary of defense will be a very good friend of mine."

"I can try to help you solve the problems you can't solve."

"Today, here, on behalf of Austin, I receive her comrades, brothers and family members!"

"I hope you feel the warmth of home here instead of being restricted!"

"Then...", he glanced at the colonel, "...have fun!"

The music suddenly sounded, and a large group of girls ran out from every corner. The chefs pushed the dining carts filled with food, filling one table after another with high-end food that they had never seen before. table!

The smell of alcohol, cigarettes, food, and hormones!

Many officers were not comfortable with it at first, but the enthusiasm of the girls resolved their embarrassment.

The brigadier general and several colonels knew they were here, and the boys obviously couldn't let go.

After giving a few instructions, they entered another room with Lin Qi.

Everyone is sitting on the sofa, there is no music, no other noise, there is some coffee, wine, and pastries on the table.

In addition, there are ten suitcases next to the sofa where Lynch is sitting...
