Blackstone Code

Connor is very depressed. He has been doing a lot of public speaking outside.

Moreover, his approval rating continues to increase. Many people believe that he will inherit Mr. Trueman's spirit and reform some of the shortcomings in the social security system and the backward systems that exist in society.

Of course, he said so himself, he wanted to make the Federation greater.

The federal people like this tone very much, just like the nouveau riche in the countryside, they like things that are splendid, even if it is an illusion.

Just yesterday, when he thought everything was fine, someone called him and said that the story about his illegitimate child might have been leaked.

Five years ago, Connor had no intention of running for president. Being from a political family does not mean that one must have a very prominent position.

There are many political families in the Federation, and their current generation, including the next generation of family members, may not have officials serving in the federal government.

But no one would say that they are not from a political family!

For federal political families, connections are the standard by which they are measured.

Take Connor, for example. When he decided to stand up and run for president under Gladstone's persuasion, many politicians immediately supported him, and many capitalists were willing to donate money to him.

These people have all worked with his father, uncles, and grandfathers before, and they all had a great time working together.

So as long as he says "I want to do something," there will be no shortage of help from politics and capital.

This is different from ordinary political families. They have to find ways to find such help, but political families can mobilize huge resources and energy anytime and anywhere!

Connor served as governor of two states and as a senator in Congress for two years before falling into seclusion.

The people who usually come and go are still celebrities, the upper echelons of the federation, and star politicians.

At that time, he was just forty years old, met a woman, and then fell into a relationship.

His own marriage was a marriage without love, a family marriage.

He married the daughter of a big capitalist, and both parties married, had children, and lived as if they had completed their tasks.

There is no passion, boring, and boring.

Until he met that woman, she was not very beautiful, but she made his heart beat.

For the first time, I felt the love that was so intense that it almost set me on fire!

They fell in love and had a child.

Because they couldn't get married, Connor wouldn't do something stupid and divorce his wife, and the woman also discovered Connor's affair and illegitimate child.

She didn't make a fuss, she just asked Connor to end this meaningless relationship.

"...Later I thought about it for a long time, and after I made it clear to her, I stopped contacting her."

"Of course, I gave all the money that was due, and it will not be less, at least more than one million."

Connor felt very depressed when he said this. This happened almost ten years ago. At that time, he never thought that one day he would be elected president.

When Gladstone pulled him out this time, he had completely forgotten about the illegitimate child.

Who would have thought that at this critical moment, there would be a thunderstorm.

Having an affair and having an illegitimate child is definitely a big problem.

Although it is just a matter of private morality and has nothing to do with whether the elected president can govern the country well.

But the people of the Federation can transform into moral saints when needed, and do not allow the slightest moral problem to exist.

Losing the election because of personal ethics issues is also the largest part of all reasons for losers!

After hearing this, Lynch did not find it strange that many important officials in the federal government during this period had lovers.

This is a social trend, a bad trend!

But when the problem lies with ordinary officials, the most they can do is get scolded.

It would be an absolute disaster if it happened to a presidential candidate!

"What do you want me to do?"

Lynch asked.

Connor took a puff of cigarette, "Can you... let them disappear first?"

"If they can't find the people and the evidence, they can't prove that I have these problems."

Lynch asked almost instinctively, "Do you want them to disappear completely?"

To disappear completely, of course, they would be hidden at the bottom of the Eastern Ocean. Even if God comes, he will not be able to find them.

Connor hesitated for a moment, which made Lynch look at him twice.

As a successful politician, you must first be ruthless and black-hearted. This is an essential quality for a good politician.

Politics looks bright and majestic, but in fact it is ugly.

Political strife has never been about right or wrong, and the outcome will not fall solely on one person.

The political environment in the Federation seems moderate, but it is not without large-scale political strife.

In the early days, the conflict between the federal government and capitalist agents often resulted in the death of entire families. This is no joke!

Let’s not talk about the distant ones, let’s talk about the remaining members of the Duncan family.

All the core members died, and hundreds of people disappeared from people's sight due to various accidents or simply completely.

Nowadays, accidents often occur in the remaining partial branches.

For example, a family of four, the current third branch of the Duncan family, drowned in the yard swimming pool during the summer.

The youngest, fifteen years old, is also 1.6 meters tall, and the water in the swimming pool is only 1.5 meters deep...

Are they innocent?

Of course innocent!

But when politics demands it, they are not innocent, or it no longer matters whether they are innocent or not. They are like chips on the table that can be thrown away at any time.

What's this?

This is politics!

The best solution to the problem Connor faced was to make the mother and son disappear completely, and even let some relevant personnel disappear as well.

The scandal has nothing to do with the presidential election. Even if some people think it is related, they can't provide evidence to prove that Connor planned it all.

Federal people are sometimes stupid and sometimes very smart. As long as public opinion is chaotic, they will become smarter.

But in the end, Lynch could only look at him twice instead of looking down at him.

"There's no need..."

He did consider whether to get rid of the mother and son completely, but he soon felt that it was really unnecessary.

He felt there should be other ways.

"Lynch, we have to use a relatively gentle method. Killing is not the only way!"

Lynch nodded in agreement with his suggestion and began to play his role.

"So do you want to acknowledge their identity or deny their identity?"

Connor became a little interested and was stunned for a moment, "Is there any difference?"

"Of course!"

"If you want to admit them, we can create a 'fact' that you knew your lover before you got married."

"You made a mistake before you got married. At that time, you didn't know you already had a child. Then you got married and cut off all of this..."

Connor shook his head, "The time doesn't match up."

Lin Qi pursed his lips, "Then we will use another method. I will find some women who claim to be your lovers, and they also have your illegitimate children..."

Connor looked at Lynch with wide eyes, as if asking "Do you know what the fuck you are talking about?"

Lynch laughed and raised his hand to press softly, "Don't worry, Connor."

"If only one woman said that she had been in love with you and had a child with you, people would probably believe it."

"But what if there are dozens of women who say they have fallen in love with you and have children with you?"

"Do you think you would believe it?"

Connor has realized the benefits of muddying the water and pouring dirty water on himself!

Federalists have always envied the strong and sympathized with the weak. He wanted to portray himself as a character who would be bullied in the election!

this is a good idea!

But there is a little bit of risk.

"Sounds good, but will it mess things up?"

Lynch also nodded slightly in agreement, "It's slightly possible, so we need something else to quickly replace the public's attention on this matter."

"For example, provide some dirty information about your opponent!"

"I believe there will be no perfect saints in this world. Even God has children he loves and children he dislikes, let alone humans?"

"...The director will provide us with some materials, and when the situation is more or less fermented, attention will be drawn away by new scandals."

"As for the mother and son..."

"I'll let them go to Nagaril for a while first, what do you think?"

Connor thought about it seriously for a long time. Although it was a little risky, it was already the best way.

He talked with the leader of the campaign team, and the other person's idea was to spend money to get the media and at the same time shut up the mother and son.

But Connor felt that if the other party really planned to use this matter to attack him, it would not make much sense whether they spoke in front of the media.

The other party must have grasped important evidence to be so unscrupulous.

Even this information was revealed by the other party, and the purpose was to make him overwhelmed and make wrong decisions in a hurry!

So Lynch’s method is very good!

He thought about it and made a decision.

"Then, Lynch, I'll leave it to you."

"The only person I can trust now is you!"

Lynch nodded and said solemnly, "Don't worry, Connor, I have invested so much money and resources in you. I want you to win the election more than anyone else, even more than you."

"I will take care of this, just pretend you don't know anything."

"When the media finds you, you can joke with them in a self-deprecating way and guide them towards political strife!"

Connor kept nodding, even if Lynch didn't remind him, he knew what to do.

Seeing that the matter basically came to an end, Lynch suddenly had some new problems.

"Connor, I believe you handled this matter well before, but the fact that it was dug out now means there must be some problem that we haven't discovered yet."

"Think about it, besides you, who else knows about this?"

In an instant, several names appeared in Connor's mind, including his best friend, Gladstone.
