Blackstone Code

Connor is a member of the Progressive Party, but he holds no party office.

It is not necessary to hold a position within the party to join the Progressive Party. Many party members are "liberal people". They just wear the label of party members and do not necessarily care about the party's affairs that much.

This society is like this.

Either the Progressive Party or the Conservative Party, of course the Socialist Party can also be elected, but that is only a small part.

When a society is not black and white, but has many colors, as the most basic unit of society, a natural human being must have its own label.

Otherwise, you will be excluded from society by many rules and orders!

Connor didn't have any good friends within the party. Friendships between politicians were rarely as solid as those between politicians and capitalists.

Just like female tickets and female cousins, they always talk about feelings after every pleasure, but in fact they are talking about business.

Business is more stable and stable than relationships.

When Connor understood the meaning behind Lynch's call, he also had a lot of ideas.

Gladstone was one of his very close friends, at least before the presidential election, but as the election began and his controlling nature began to increase, Connor couldn't stand this guy anymore.

They are good friends and partners, not who is whose father!

Gladstone's desire to control Connor actually has something to do with the "relationship positioning" of the two.

From Gladstone's point of view, it was him who gave a guy like Connor, who didn't have much pursuit, a chance to ascend to the throne of the federal president.

He is the one who takes the initiative in the relationship between the two, so his attitude towards Connor is no longer an equal friendship, but more like...

In the relationship between the "finance master" and the "little girl", he cannot let a canary control him, so he gradually no longer has to consider whether his approach is appropriate as he did in the past.

He directly asked Connor to cooperate with him in a tough manner.

So from that moment on, hidden dangers were laid for the separation of the two.

As for Lynch, he just caused the mines to explode that they didn't even notice, that's all.

Gladstone took control of the Progressive Party and promoted Connor's victory. There was almost no room for anyone else in his eyes!

If he was to blame, it would be his own arrogance.

This world will continue to spin no matter who you leave it. No one is the protagonist!

Lynch on the other side of the receiver was still waiting for Connor's reply. Connor was stunned for a while, then he came to his senses and said, "Do you want to go to Leston?"

If Lynch sides with Gladstone, then Gladstone still has a high probability of winning.

Because of the York Gang.

Lynch did not answer the question directly, but instead asked, "Do you want Gladstone to continue to be in that position and put forward various opinions on our work that we cannot refuse?"

One sentence made Connor fall into deep thought again.

The free spirit of the Federation pervades the entire society, from top to bottom.

It's just that those at the top are true free spirits, while those at the bottom of society are just pseudo-free spirits, but whether they are true or false, the appearance they show is the same.

No one likes to be dominated by others, and Connor is still the president of the federal government.

Lynch's question was very tricky, pointing to the core conflict between him and Gladstone.

After a while, Connor lowered his voice and said, "I can only say these words when chatting with you. If you ask me this question, my answer is no."

"I acquired him and arranged things for me to do. I am not his subordinate, I am the President of the Federation!"

Connor couldn't help but complain, which shows how frustrated they were when they were together every day, otherwise he wouldn't have said that at all!

With this result, the two people basically reached an agreement on this issue, "It's a good decision. I am also very dissatisfied with some of his actions."

"Perhaps changing to someone under our control will be better for the next work and development."

Connor's heart trembled slightly. He heard a very sensitive word, "You just said...under our control?"

"I hope I heard that word correctly. Your offer has piqued my interest. What are your thoughts?"

The position of chairman of the Progressive Party Committee is not an ordinary position. When this person is very tough, this person is the only voice of the Progressive Party.

If this person is not very tough, then this person is a puppet——

Because there is still a relationship with the committee, whether the committee chairman is tough or not, or whether everyone accepts it, is not important to those who have already sat on it!

For most committee members, a committee chair who is less forceful and more of a showman would do them more good.

At least in this way their "committee" status can truly play a role, instead of turning such an important party institution into someone's toy!

Originally, Connor didn't have any big ideas. If Gladstone really stepped down, who would replace him would have nothing to do with Connor.

As the President of the Federation, he no longer needs to look at other people's faces. Moreover, he and Lynch are very good brothers. The York Gang can also give him a lot of help in Congress.

Whether the Progressive Party supports him or not supports him, in fact, at most it will only change the good situation - for example, some laws are not easy to pass.

But it won't make it any worse - having the York gang and others to help him when someone wants to oppose his proposal won't make it any worse.

With such a guarantee, Connor actually doesn't care whether the next successor has a good relationship with him or not.

Moreover, as a president of the Progressive Party, as long as his successor is not a fool, he should know the meaning of cooperating with him and supporting him.

But Lynch’s idea of ​​“control” intrigued him.

Lynch knew that Connor would take the bait. Although he sometimes seemed a bit stupid to Lynch, his ability to become the federal president also showed that he was at least politically qualified.

"Do you know...Ms. (Professor)?"

Connor thought for a while, and a very clear image immediately appeared in his mind.

He had paid attention to this woman in the past few years because she was the first person to break the unspoken rule that women were not allowed in the parliament, of course the regional parliament.

But even for regional parliaments, this is a very remarkable progress. Several senators in Congress were removed from office and disappeared from the political arena because of this incident.

As the biggest pusher behind the scenes, Lynch also made Catherine and the professor very famous in the federal political arena.

He immediately replied, "I know, but I don't know her. She is yours. Do you want to manipulate her into joining the committee?"

"Yeah, she's a great choice."

"First of all, she is a mature woman, which means she will not be subject to too many sharp attacks. People will always have greater tolerance and tolerance for women who are equated with weak people."

"Secondly, she used to be a university professor and is now the Senate President of the regional parliament. She has good social visibility and influence, and her status as a professor can bring her more credibility."

"Third, although she does not have a deep foundation within the party, this is her shortcoming, but it is also an advantage."

"Commissioners would like a guy who looks more like a decoration to be the new chairman of the committee. In the old generation, up to Gladstone and now, for at least thirty years the committee members have not played any real role."

"So it's not a joke that she wants to be the chair of the committee as long as there is strong enough support."

"Lastly, and most importantly, she is one of our own!"

Connor began to seriously think about Lynch's remarks. He had to admit that Lynch was right. He could even regard the professor's rise as a helpless choice after political conflicts.

The old man finally completely lost all his power in exchange for Gladstone being off work, while the committee members regained their due power.

But as long as the professor takes the stage and becomes the chairman of the committee, isn't it easy to gain actual power?

With Lynch and herself supporting her, there will be no obstacles in her work.

One is one of the richest people in the Federation, and the other is one of the most powerful people in the Federation. How could he lose?

A controllable party committee chairman also has many benefits for Connor. At least in his political game with Congress, he has a greater chance of victory!

"We can meet up, Lynch. We can talk in person."

"No problem, I'll arrange it."

"Think about who else can help us with this and talk to them."

"If the professor can be on the committee, then in the next eight years you don't have to worry about whether the party will support your policies, and maybe you will have a whole page to yourself in the history book instead of a brief introduction."

The interests of the party and the interests of the president are not completely consistent. This is very federal!

For example, Connor plans to deepen reforms in many areas, including deeper excavation and secondary reforms of some of Mr. Trueman's policies.

But the party doesn't necessarily support him.

There are many reasons. It may be that supporters of the party are unwilling to do that, or his actions may harm the interests of the party.

The president will be very embarrassed once such a scene occurs, and such a scene has occurred more than once.

When Lynch didn't talk about this, Connor hadn't thought of this yet. Now that he suddenly realized that he and Gladstone had broken up, it would be difficult for him to get support from Gladstone.

Unless he is willing to make concessions and compromises.

But to let someone like that sit on his head again, he suddenly felt that replacing Gladstone was actually the best and most acceptable way!

He promised Lynch, "I support your decision, Lynch, just like you support me. If you have further information, contact me again. I have to think about it carefully."
