Blackstone Code

Catherine took the newspaper and looked at it seriously. After reading it, she couldn't help laughing, "He may have forgotten to ask me for money. I hope it won't be too much!"

The federal newspapers also went through a period of barbaric development. On the first day, they took the initiative to write positive content to certain people without their consent.

Then I would call in the evening and ask for the press publishing fee. If the other party paid me, nothing bad would happen.

If it is not given, then in a few days the newspaper will start to pour dirty water on this person, amplifying and maligning some specious rumors.

Later, the Federal Press Administration Council was established and corresponding press regulations were promulgated, which restrained this money-making method known as "news extortion."

She put the newspaper back, "Will it affect your plan?"

Catherine knew that Lynch would push her to become President of the Confederacy. This time she would not only be the first female president in the history of the Confederacy, but also the last president in the history of the Confederacy!

This number one seems a bit much, and in the process of mastering power, Catherine gradually develops a yearning for power!

The attraction of power does not distinguish between men and women, but the current society does not allow too many women to realize their opportunities to move towards power.

But for those who have the possibility, they will use their actions to prove that the temptation of power is fatal to both men and women!

Lynch shook his head, "I will call them to confirm. I personally think this may have something to do with the amendment to the security law."

Catherine showed some confusion. She was not sure how her running for president or not would be related to the security law amendment.

Lynch saw her confusion, "People are showing favor to me. The amendment to the security law has been passed. Next, Blackstone Security will rapidly expand its recruitment and fill employees in the security field of society."

"Have you discussed this issue?"

"For example, a new committee or something?"

Catherine shook her head, "These are all set for next year. Now there are not enough members. The establishment of the committee must comply with the process."

"But I heard that at least one senator and four representatives will be sent to Blackstone Security as congressional representatives. As for what they do and how much power they have, you still have to talk to them."

When such a large civil force enters the national security field and is given law enforcement powers, the federal government and Congress will certainly not do nothing.

It is obviously very necessary to do a good job in management and supervision.

But the level of management and the extent of supervision need to be negotiated.

And there is the most critical issue here. Not all private armed forces can enter this field and need to obtain qualifications.

This qualification is also given by Congress. Judging from the current direction of discussions in Congress, qualifications will be reviewed every four years, and the contract signed between Congress and Blackstone Security is also signed every four years.

However, Blackstone Security will only sign for two years in the first year. It will be carried out according to the president's term and must be signed by both Congress and the Presidential Palace to pass.

To a certain extent, the presidential office also endorses private armed enterprises.

Of course, everyone knows that the end is coming, and it doesn't matter how many years you sign, but the Federation is a place that pays attention to procedural justice.

Everyone and everything must follow the rules and regulations!

Even if people know that the world will be destroyed in four years and Congress makes a one-shot deal, they will immediately jump out and question whether there is a behind-the-scenes deal between Congress and Blackstone Security, and whether there is a transfer of interests.

But if it is set to be signed once every four years and can be signed continuously, the people will accept it very well and admit that this is a good idea!

After dinner at noon, Catherine went back to rest. During this period, the Congress gave many members of parliament a lot of leave. Everyone worked in the morning and rested in the afternoon.

Some members also need physical therapy and psychological treatment. Sometimes federal people behave very "fragile". Even if some members are not present in Congress, they still need psychological counseling.

Maybe the taxpayers really have too much money to spend...

In the afternoon, Lynch and Connor made an appointment to play golf together. They took a short break at noon for about 90 minutes. Before two o'clock, he took Connor with him to the stadium in a car.

tennis court.

Playing golf at this time is a fool's errand. As the weather gets colder and the conditions ahead are dire, some indoor sports are rapidly rising.

The federal government has also realized that after entering the shelter era, sports and recreation will become more important than now, so it has begun to vigorously promote indoor sports.

Connor originally didn't like playing tennis, but because he needed to cooperate with the promotion of this policy, he had to fall in love with playing tennis.

The two changed their clothes, the reporters and cameras started working, and the two began to play ball seriously.

In sports competitions that do not aim at winning or losing, sports can become more fluid.

The whole process lasted for twenty minutes, and Connor couldn't run anymore. He raised his hand to end today's sports and publicity. After thanking the president, the reporters left with the cameramen.

Connor walked up to Lynch, pinched his waist, and gasped, "Why didn't they invent indoor golf?"

He gasped and wiped his sweat, "I fucking hate tennis!"

He took off some sports protective gear, sat on the chair next to him, breathed for a while, drank two mouthfuls of water, and then gradually calmed down.

"I talked to the security director yesterday. Starting from January 1, the security department of the Presidential Palace will give you an office. You need to arrange for some people to be on duty, including field service, 24 hours a day."

"In addition, I have talked with those people privately. The federal government will only approve your family's qualifications, and all other applications will be rejected."

"There were multiple coincidences that led to this, and you can't screw it up."

"If you mess up, you may not have such a good opportunity next time!"

Lynch also knew this, so he agreed to everything, "I will give you instructions. Don't worry about personnel. The company's management are all from the Army and have worked for me for so many years. Their loyalty has been tested."

Connor nodded and said nothing further. There was silence between the two of them for a while.

He then suddenly asked, "I read the Post and it said that Catherine plans to run for President of the Federation, right?"

The "Bupian Post" is a newspaper that almost every politician reads, and Kang'an is no exception.

After the supplement came out, he saw an article on the second page about Catherine running for president. For the federal president, a general election is inevitable.

But whether the president of the federation admits it or not, he still feels somewhat uncomfortable when he loses power.

Lynch did not shy away from the question, "If possible, I hope to push her to take another step."

Connor said with emotion, "Do you know why I trust you so much?"

"Trust you more than anyone else?"

Lynch actually already had the answer in his mind, but it seemed very boring to say it at this time. Federal people like humor and like to act stupid.

"Is it because I'm handsome?"

Connor sneered and patted Lynch on the arm, "You are very handsome, but that's not the most important thing."

"The key is that you're good to the people around you, Lynch."

"You can tell a person's quality from these aspects. I heard that from all the girls you had a relationship with, you were very good to them."

"And the men, too."

"Langdon, the young president, and those few are all like this."

"Everyone sees your dedication to your friends, which is a big plus. I think we are also good friends, so if I help you, you will help me, right?"

Lynch didn't deny it, "If you need it!"

Connor looked very happy, "Look, this is the reason why I trust you. You will not treat me better because I am the president or who I am, just because we are friends."

"If you are going to nominate Katherine for president, I will help you in any way I can."

"You know, the end is coming. The order of federal society is collapsing, and the order of the system is also collapsing."

“It’s far better to have someone on stage who we know well at the end of the day than to elect someone we don’t know and who we don’t even get along with!”

Lynch accepts this statement, but he believes that more important is the increasing importance of Blackstone security.

In the age of refuge, corporations are destined to replace government and become the ruling class in the refuge.

The simplest truth is that if a food production company does not produce food, the people in the entire shelter will die!

In the era of refuge, there will only be two modes. One is absolute centralization, which is more retrograde to feudal centralization than Pengeo.

Rule over everyone and everything in the Sanctuary with absolute power and strength, and anyone who dares to try to cross the line will be crushed until no one dares to do anything that is not allowed by the rules.

The second one is the enterprise model.

Binding everyone with interests, and after the government loses its value, it will naturally sink and be eliminated by history.

Connor, the gentlemen in Congress, including those behind the Post, all have the same purpose now.

At the appropriate time, change from the identity of a government politician to the identity of a corporate shareholder.

After talking about these "emotional" topics, Connor talked about another very interesting thing.

"Recently, the United Council from Nagalir also sent people over. They hope that we can build some civilian shelters in Nagalir."

"Did you promise them?"

Connor shook his head, "I haven't replied to them yet. I have communicated with Yongsheng before. They need a large number of experimental subjects."

"But once they enter the shelter, people become a rare and precious resource. They have some ideas..."
