Blackstone Code

Connor's words caused everyone to fall into a brief state of consternation!

When Blackstone Security was established, because of its special nature, Lynch had always held absolute equity.

The Ministry of National Defense has symbolically held a small stake, which has become a real "symbol" during the changes over the years.

One percent share!

Except for one percent owned by the Department of Defense, the remaining 99 percent is in the hands of Lynch. This is a very authentic "private enterprise."

But Connor's words made everyone realize that no matter how powerful Blackstone Security is, it is still a company.

As long as it is a company, it cannot get rid of its characteristics!

For a moment, those who objected shut their mouths.

Connor sat quietly, knowing that these people were moved.

What they are actually interested in is not that the federal government can hold shares in Blackstone Security, but that part of Blackstone Security's shares will be released.

Does that mean they can also hold some shares?

In the name of a private person!

About a minute later, Connor couldn't help but light a cigarette. "You have also seen the situation during this period. The military has been unable to implement the orders of the Presidential Palace and Congress."

"Especially the ambiguous attitude of the Western Military Region and the Central and Southern Military Region towards the navy, which makes it difficult for us not to believe that they have a certain degree of tacit understanding."

"Even before the battle to intercept the Second Fleet is over, there is a certain possibility that they will attack Bupen together with the navy!"

"Gentlemen, is this the military that we and our people have placed our trust in?"

"I don't think so. It's not even as safe as Blackstone Security can give me!"

"At least Lynch and Blackstone Security are willing to abide by the contract and have a strong contractual spirit. So far, Lynch has not been criticized in this regard. He has never had a breach of contract."

"His character and ethics are worthy of trust!"

"Compared to a military that is no longer under control and has become ambiguous in terms of national security and governance, I trust Blackstone Security more!"

"And this time the reduction is mainly to reduce the number of soldiers in the three major military regions. We still retain the military strength in the Northern Military Region, Air Force Department, and Security Zone."

The congressmen were all discussing privately, and Catherine was sitting in the corner. It was not convenient for her to speak out during today's meeting, so she could just watch.

Looking at these congressmen from another angle, Catherine discovered a completely different side from the past.

It seems that every decision they make is for the people and the country, but at this moment, it seems that they are more for themselves.

The speaker put forward a new idea, or a compromise proposal, “I think if we want to incorporate Blackstone Security into law enforcement agencies, then we should set up a committee in Congress similar to a third-party regulatory agency to oversee the work of Blackstone Security. "

"At the same time, it is also responsible for communicating with Blackstone Security and arranging work matters."

The speaker's idea was immediately endorsed by many members, and everyone knew very well that if Congress wanted to establish this committee.

Then part of the shares released by Blackstone Security will definitely fall into the hands of this committee!

As long as they hold a portion of the equity, they can arrange for representatives to join Blackstone Security's management, even if they can't do anything at first.

But everyone believes that over time, a crack will appear in the egg.

Either from the outside or from the inside!

Connor wanted to laugh a little when he saw the behavior of these people, especially the attitude of the Speaker.

The Senate President came to power partly because of Lynch, but he did not take into account the cooperation between him and Lynch on issues related to his own vital interests.

Sometimes politicians can be simpler and purer than capitalists, and they don't even cover up.

Although the capitalists look ugly when eating, they still lay out their napkins and observe dining etiquette before wielding their knives and forks.

These people don't care about dining etiquette at all. If they can, they will even grab it with their hands instead of eating in a civilized way.

Of course, Connor is also a member of the politicians. Most of the time, he behaves the same as these people, but this time he only has his share of the benefits without having to fight for them.

So from a transcendent standpoint, these people are like a group of clowns!

He came back to his senses and gave his own opinion on what the speaker had just thought, "We will set up a brand new department to take charge of this work. There will be people from the presidential palace and some people from the Congress, on a rotational basis."

It is the essence of federal politics to prevent a certain person or group of people from occupying these rights for a long time. The members discussed it for a while and decided that there was no problem and they could continue to discuss it in depth.

"Then the question of disarmament..."

The speaker immediately gave a result that favored Connor, "We will discuss a result as soon as possible. The military's performance this time is indeed very unsatisfactory."

"Their attitude and behavior not only angered us, but also made us deeply disappointed in their sense of responsibility!"

Connor was very satisfied with the speaker's answer. He did not say whether it would be passed, but he seemed to be very straightforward.

In addition to these things, there were other things to discuss. When Connor returned to the living area for lunch at around one o'clock, Lynch was already waiting for him.

"It seems that the results of your discussion this morning are very satisfactory." Lynch sat at the dining table. He rushed over after finishing the work at hand, and Connor invited him to have lunch at noon.

Connor said hello with a smile, "Of course, the result did not exceed our expectations."

"I'm going to change my clothes. Just wait for me."

Connor then changed into casual clothes and sat at the dining table again. "If nothing else happens, they will discuss it and pass it soon. You still have to cooperate."

He picked up a dinner bag, put a little butter in it, added some beef cubes and a little sauce, and took a big bite.

After meeting all morning, he was not only hungry, but also very tired. He hadn't slept well in the past few days, and the total amount of rest time he had every day was less than six hours.

The rich aroma of wheat mixed with the smell of beef and sauce stimulated his appetite. He ate the meal bag in a few bites and drank a little wine before he breathed a sigh of relief.

"As for the navy, I plan to retain only a small part, no more than two naval bases at most, and no more than 30,000 people."

"The significance of their existence is no longer that important. The Central and Southern Military Region and the Western Military Region will not retain more than 100,000 people."

"In this way, about 150,000 people will be left in the northern military region, and the rest will be the security area and the air force."

"This will neither affect daily work nor trigger more backlash."

Connor's idea of ​​supporting Lynch is not only noble and simple for the country and people, he also has his own ideas.

He still has three years, and after three years he will become a "past tense". No matter who the next president is, he will have nothing to do with power.

In the past, when there was no doomsday crisis, he actually didn't care at all!

The connections he accumulated during his time in office are enough to allow him to continue to maintain a certain degree of influence in the "post-Connor" era. Although he is no longer president, he still enjoys power.

But the situation is different now. Once the shelter is put into use, its influence will be eliminated immediately.

And in the closed shelter environment in the future, if he cannot control a certain amount of power and strength, it is difficult to say whether he will be able to ensure that the interests of himself and his family are not infringed!

In the history of the Federation, it is not uncommon for entire families to die due to the loss of power, and it happened more than once.

This time, he will personally hold 2% of the shares of Blackstone Security, and as the largest individual shareholder of Blackstone Security, he will occupy a seat on the board of directors.

In this way, even if he enters the shelter era in the future, he will become a master!

Now even if Lynch doesn't talk to him about law enforcement issues in the shelter era, he will actively find ways to make Blackstone Security a "law enforcement enterprise" in the shelter era.

Because Blackstone is safe, the interests of the Blackstone system are his personal interests!

Connor's determination to disarmament was very firm, and Lynch knew this very well, so they did not have too many discussions on this issue.

Connor's topic soon shifted to another thing, "I heard that you used a mature missile technology in this naval battle?"

Lynch did not deny, "It is not perfect yet, but it is enough for practical use. Next, we will continue to increase its research and development and try our best to make it more perfect before the arrival of the shelter era."

Connor was a little confused, "Does this make sense?"

"I mean once we leave the surface, these things should lose their value. Is it necessary to continue to invest a lot of money now?"

Lynch nodded while eating the steak. The chef in the Presidential Palace was very average, although the taste was good.

"It will be the cornerstone of our strengthening of our rule, and my idea is that within certain areas of our lives, if it doesn't destroy other sanctuaries, it can paralyze those sanctuaries."

He picked up a large piece of beef with his dinner fork and stuffed it into his mouth, "It will be the final guardian of the social order of human civilization, not a destroyer!"

This sentence is a little difficult to understand, but Connor is not an ordinary person.

If you ask him to calculate three-digit addition and subtraction, he may need to hold his forehead and think for a few minutes, but if you ask him to understand these words, it won't take long for him to understand what Lynch means.

The stability of society is always based on a strong rule, and strong rule is never a positive method such as "civilization", "friendliness", "peace", "benevolence", etc., but "irresistible destruction"!

The missiles in Lynch's mouth will become the most powerful foundation for dominance in the shelter era!
