Blackstone Code

On Friday night, Jenny and Lynch had dinner together and then took a plane to Connor's city.

Jenny's identity has been exposed by the media. People actually don't care much about Lynch's mother and her life, but they are very enthusiastic about Lynch and Jenny being together!

Because this time, Jenny's identity is Lynch's family.

The family has an extraordinary status in the Federation, and it can even be on the same level as faith.

People hope that everyone except themselves is a saint. Lynch can appear in public with his family, which actually fills part of the missing character for him.

Some occasions are suitable for bringing a "girlfriend" to attend, but for other occasions, "girlfriend" is obviously not enough. Jenny can make up for this lack and make Lynch's image in people's minds fuller.

At least he won't act too isolated!

This was Jenny's first time flying, and it was obvious that she was scared, especially when the plane climbed uphill. Her hands were tightly holding Lynch's arm.

There was also an interesting conversation like "If there is an accident on the plane, will we be able to parachute in time?"

Fortunately, after flying for a while, she got used to it and became quiet.

This journey was full of novel experiences for Jenny. According to some agency statistics, 93% of the people in the Federation have not taken a plane so far.

Only about 20 percent of them believe that airplanes will replace cars and trains and become the main cross-regional transportation in the future.

Others think this is unnecessary. Air tickets are too expensive on the one hand, and safety issues are on the other hand, although so far there have been no accidental crashes of passenger planes.

It was already past ten o'clock in the evening when we arrived at the hotel where Connor was staying. Jenny went back to her room to wash up and rest, while Lynch went to visit Connor.

In addition to Connor, there were some people from his campaign in the room who had been discussing the situation.

Connor seemed very happy when he saw Lynch arriving. After all, Lynch was very famous and he could provide him with a lot of help.

And to him, Lynch is truly "one of his own."

He asked Lynch to sit down and said, "The float is ready. Tomorrow you stand in the second position to my left."

At the same time, Connor also had to prepare for the upcoming debate.

"The first one on the left is... Sir, you are second. Someone may interview you then."

"I believe you don't need some manuscripts from us."

The gentleman he was talking about was a well-known local firefighter who had participated in thousands of large and small fires and saved more than 400 lives.

In this city, he is a person respected by everyone!

In order to invite him, Connor not only spent a lot of money, but also made a favor.

But all these efforts for the final victory are worth it!

As for Lynch, he actually didn’t think Lynch needed a speech.

Lynch's speeches and speeches were all unscripted, and everyone in the federation knew this.

But even so, some people still don't believe it. This small group of people don't think Lynch can really speak off-script at any time and anywhere.

This is a very powerful ability that almost all politicians dream of!

A previous program conducted a survey, and the subjects of the survey were all politicians. When asked what ability they wanted most, more than 40% of them hoped to have Lynch's ability to speak without a script.

This is a very good skill for politicians, especially when speaking in public.

The fact that Mr. Lynch and Mr. Trueman are liked by the people has a lot to do with the fact that they always "have no speeches."

Federalists believe that speeches with scripts are often lies. Only words spoken without scripts are the true thoughts in the heart.

You can't say that they are stupid for thinking this way, and you may even think that their views are somewhat reasonable.

Connor also knew this, so he asked in advance.

Just as he suspected, Lynch didn't need a speech script, he could handle all the communication problems.

"We are going to debate soon. Is your stuff...already on the way?"

Connor asked in a slightly lowered voice.

Lynch took out a file bag from the briefcase he carried with him and threw it away, "Everything you want is here."

"They will not be your opponent!"

A smile suddenly appeared on Connor's face, and he asked everyone else to leave, leaving only Lynch.

Then he opened the file bag in front of Lin Qi and looked at the documents inside carefully.

The leading conservative presidential candidate is fifty-two years old and has served two terms in the Senate and later several years as governor.

I can’t say how well it’s done, I can only say it’s not terrible, relatively average.

However, he has a good family background. His family has produced a federal president and a federal vice president, and he belongs to a political family with a certain background.

With connections, support from capitalists, and a 50% winning rate, he indeed has a certain possibility of becoming the next president of the Federation.

Until the last second of the presidential election, no one knows who the final winner will be!

Connor doesn't "hate" the other party's methods, because he can use them too.

There are scandals and dirty materials not only about the presidential candidate, but also about his family.

Connor is very excited. These things are very useful for debates. He believes that as long as he throws them out, his opponent's support rate will plummet.

"The stuff is very good, I can't wait to see his shit-like face showing a shit-like expression!"

"Lynch, I don't even know how to thank you!"

Connor's emotions were full and sincere. He really regarded Lynch as his good friend.

And above Gladstone and the rest!

These materials are not accessible to ordinary people, and they also contain investigation results about competitors' families. Some special means must have been used.

Connor looked at Lynch and inadvertently thought of Gladstone. It was difficult for him not to compare the two people together.

People cannot compare with others, because once compared, there will inevitably be one who is nothing and is inferior to everything!

He had discussed the issue of "revenge" with Gladstone, and Gladstone suggested that he not do that for the time being, because he had not suffered any substantial harm!

His mistress and illegitimate child had disappeared, and the random rumors turned true into false.

He was not physically harmed, but if he began to retaliate, his opponents might continue to use abusive tactics against him.

This will greatly reduce his image in front of the public. Although the election of president is to compare who is relatively less bad, but since he can perform better, why not do that?

And after he wins the election, he will have eight years to deal with his opponents.

The federal government system is different from other countries. The defeated presidential candidate will enter the federal government system as the vice president.

But the vice president does not have much power. He is more like a mascot and needs to obey the president's work arrangements.

The purpose of this is to prevent the president from experiencing absolute corruption while wielding huge power.

After all, there is a "competitor" watching, and the president doesn't dare to act too randomly!

Some people have criticized this rule and think it is inappropriate, but Congress has not thought about changing it so far, and it may not change it in the future.

Gladstone's views and ideas are very "big picture" and belong to the kind of viewpoint from a "high place". We must take the overall situation into consideration and cannot always make the presidential election a mess.

But for Connor, this is a choice that is very difficult to understand and accept.

I almost got stabbed with a fucking knife. You tell me that since I didn’t get stabbed, forget it. If you have anything to do, we’ll talk about it later...

On one side is Lynch's "This revenge must be taken back", on the other side is Gladstone's "You fucking take care of the overall situation".

As a Connor who has an independent personality and grew up under the spirit of freedom and fairness in the Federation, mainly the spirit of freedom, the proposal of revenge is obviously more in line with his heart!

At around eight o'clock the next morning, Lynch had already boarded the float and saw the "city hero" that Connor called him.

The old firefighter is sixty years old, and his condition is... a bit complicated.

Judging from his physical condition, his condition was obviously not good. His face was severely burned, and the hand he shook hands with Lynch only had three fingers left.

Lynch didn't know how much of the non-exposed skin was still recovering from injuries.

But his mental state is very good, his eyes are bright, and although his speech is a bit slurred, you can feel that his inner condition is very good!

"You're the first one who didn't hesitate, Lynch!"

The old firefighter pointed this out with a smile. He raised his hand and moved his remaining three fingers awkwardly. "They will hesitate for a while before shaking hands with me."

"They think I'm scary!"

"They don't even want to shake my hand, if they can!"

"Some people think I'm a hero, but privately, more people think I'm a monster!"

The old firefighter smiled naturally and did not feel any inferiority complex at all.

But it's normal to think about it. He has experienced life and death countless times and has long since looked away.

How can a person who can even face death be defeated by low self-esteem?

Lynch was also moved by his cheerful confidence. Confidence is always the most impressive thing to others!

"Someone told me about your deeds. I think it should not be buried in this city and should be known to more people."

"I want to invest in a movie to tell your story."

The old firefighter was a little surprised, "My story is very ordinary, all firefighters do that."

He looked like he was explaining, but actually he was refusing.

He felt that his life was already wonderful and satisfied, and he didn't want to be disturbed.

But he soon changed his mind.

“All proceeds, besides costs, I will set up a fund to help firefighters in distress!”
