Blackstone Code

People's eyes were on Lynch, and Lynch was observing these people.

They are waiting for Lynch to tell the answer. It can even be said that they are "eager" for Lynch to tell the answer.

In fact, it’s not that these people don’t know how to continue to encourage the people at the bottom to give up their blood and sweat, but they can’t say it.

They are politicians with a bright appearance, representatives of public opinion, and fighters for the rights of the people!

There are certain words that cannot, or at least should not, come out of their mouths.

Just like the members of the presidential cabinet, do they really have no ideas at all?

No, of course not, they have a lot of ideas, but they would rather have Connor spit on their faces than tell them the solutions that can solve the current problem.

Whoever comes up with these solutions will have to face angry crowds and turbulent public opinion.

Being sprayed by Connor would at most leave the stench of dried saliva on his face, but after saying those words, death might occur——

Politics died suddenly.

Although people are still alive, the political future is bleak.

Just like at this moment, these people in the room are all elites at the core of federal politics, but they are all pretending to be stupid, and the reason for pretending to be stupid is that they are unwilling to take responsibility.

Lynch knew it, they knew it, and Connor actually knew it too.

This is why Lynch is sitting here, someone has to step up and "break the ice."

Why are President Connor and President Bowling said to be the most suitable people to be presidents? Why are they said to be the most federal presidents?

This is reflected in the fact that they will be stupid when necessary. As long as they are stupid enough, it is actually difficult for the people to arouse intense targeted emotions.

A president like Mr. Trueman is indeed very smart and courageous, so once something goes wrong with him, the opposition will be fierce.

Lynch's pupils shrank slightly and then dilated again, "...the number of places in the shelter is limited, and we don't actually know who can go in because there are too many people."

"But we can decide who doesn't get in."

"In addition, I suggest setting up a resident level system. People can earn points through work and other methods. Different points correspond to different resident levels."

"Residents with higher grades can live in areas with better and safer environments, and have priority in choosing living areas and working."

"And those who are relatively low can only enter the shelter later, live in the designated area, and complete the heavy work every day."

"Like those with negative points..."

Lynch shook his head, "I hope God can bless them through this disaster."

Connor gave Lynch an appreciative look. This was what he wanted, a way to awe people, but it didn't come from him.

Connor waited for a while. No one spoke. It seemed that everyone was thinking about Lynch's thoughts, but Connor knew that they were acting out their own stupidity and insensitivity.

He coughed lightly, "This will be a very complicated scoring method, and it is also very complicated, Lynch. Maybe we should invite more people to discuss this."

Lynch nodded, "Yes, I have notified the other six major banks, as well as medical groups, insurance groups, etc..."

"Later, you or the federal government may be required to step forward and host a large meeting. We will discuss it together and make a final decision after deliberation."

"And this final result, I believe, can maintain the current order."

Connor thought for a while and agreed to Lynch's suggestion. Anyway, in the end, even if someone was to be boycotted by public opinion, that person wouldn't be him!

After Connor told everyone else in the room to "go back and think about what Lynch said," he and Lynch were the only ones left in the room.

He brought a glass of wine to Lynch, and the two stood by the window.

It's still winter outside the window, but it's as warm as summer in the room.

The people at the bottom outside holding various placards are still shouting for basic rights, but they don't know that their fate has been decided.

"Do you think I should leave this matter to Congress, or should I do it myself?" Connor hesitated.

He actually has nothing more to pursue politically now. After all, the Federation has no "future".

In a world blocked by heavy snow, each refuge will become an independent kingdom, and the "Federation" will become a "Federation" in the true sense.

A political force formed by the union of multiple shelters, relying on each other but relatively independent.

Lynch took a sip of the wine, which was added with ice cubes. The room was actually still a little warm, adding some ice cubes was just right to cool down, "It depends on whether you plan to stay here or leave with us."

Connor looked like he was listening, and Lynch continued, "If you plan to stay, your personality charm will play a key role in your future status in the shelter."

"It's even possible that you can be the sole leader in a shelter, as long as people trust you and support you."

"Then it is up to you to reveal the truth yourself and be a president who is unwilling to hide everything and tells the truth."

"The advantage of this is that you will have the support of the people..."

Connor couldn't help but laugh, and so did Lynch.

When the end comes, the people will become a truly symbolic thing, and no one, no politician, will need their support.

Because the government will no longer exist, public opinion will naturally have no value, and the people... will also become worthless.

Connor knew this very well, so he was laughing. What is extremely important to politicians now will soon become worthless. This is the variability of social development at different stages.

You never know what will be valuable and what will be worthless in the next stage.

"If you don't plan to stay, then it's best to leave this kind of thing to others, and Congress is actually a good responsible party."

“They’re also great at announcing everything and at the same time pushing for the passage of various interim bills.”

"And I heard there were some people in Congress who were planning to stay, and this would just be a good way to sell them a favor."

"But no matter what, no matter what you choose, I will support your decision, Connor."

"Although I must leave, I will support you mentally."

Connor gave Lynch a harmless punch on his shoulder, "You guy, I thought you would stay with me if I stayed."

Lynch shook his head and said, "That's too dangerous, Connor. You know that people's emotions will become more unstable in a closed environment."

"And it is difficult to vent conflicts externally. The internal struggle will become more and more intense, and the pressure will only increase in terms of politics, governance, interests, and class."

"Until one day..." Lynch's five fingertips on his right hand came together, and then suddenly spread out. With a "bang" sound from his mouth, Connor's eyes almost lost focus.

"That's why in the earliest days of the Holy Peace Society's planning, I suggested that each shelter should not have more than half a million people."

"It's convenient for control, easy for management, and convenient for us to artificially create conflicts."

"It's not very difficult to pit one hundred thousand people against another hundred thousand people. It's just a matter of making one group of people eat better and another group of people less well fed."

"Even if they had some conflicts or riots, everything was within control."

"But millions of people..."

Lynch curled his lips, "Such a large base cannot be controlled. It only takes a few people to stand up and become 'sages' to guide the direction of pressure, and the ruling class will be overwhelmed by the torrent in an instant..."

Lynch's words caused Connor to fall into deep thought.

The federal government is very good at controlling public opinion and society. The dispute between the Conservative Party and the Progressive Party is actually a means of creating antagonistic groups within society.

The dissatisfaction of these people in society with the government is transformed into the dissatisfaction of two groups with each other through differentiation.

Every election year, voters often fight for their supporters. Do they have any ambivalence or even hatred towards voters with opposing views?

Actually no, they probably didn't even know each other before their fight!

They just transferred their dissatisfaction with the government to voters with opposing positions under the control and transfer of the government, that's all!

Connor knows very well that once he enters the shelter era, this set of tricks will not be easy to play, because the closed nature of the shelter will make many problems more complicated.

For example, regarding the issue of absolute rule by the ruling class, if multiple parties continue to govern alternately in a refuge, it will be a disaster!

The reason why balance can be achieved now lies in external expansion and resource plunder, and through these methods to meet the needs of social development.

There is no chance or possibility in the shelter to meet internal needs through external expansion and plunder. In the end, the problem will only become white-hot and then explode.

Centralization is a stage that every shelter must go through at the beginning. At least initially, it must be centralized to control the development and situation of the shelter.

More freedom will only be considered once the shelter's development stabilizes.

And in fact, the way society is divided and created opposition is not only due to party positions, but also with the help of capitalists and educational groups. This is a very complex "social science" issue.

The closed and independent environment of a shelter cannot do these things.

This is also the reason why early societies around the world developed from authoritarian monarchies. Everyone has to move forward step by step.

Connor licked his lips, "You made me afraid to stay. In fact, I have been thinking about this issue recently, whether to stay, but now it seems that I have no choice..."
