Blackstone Code

When Catherine talks about some policy changes in front of the public, she is very confident. She often uses "Members and I will follow up on this matter" or "I have discussed this issue with...Members of Congress." statement.

This kind of dialogue is actually very authoritative to the public, just like... parents often say to their children "I talked to your teacher", which will make the children innately convinced.

The words Catherine said will be carefully listened to, understood, and accepted by people, because the words she said are most likely true!

She can really discuss something with members of Congress, and even ultimately push for a decision on something. She has such energy and ability, so people believe that she can solve the problems she promises!

This is also the reason why most presidents’ overall approval ratings continue to shrink during their campaign to when they are re-elected and leave office.

People trusted them in the beginning, so how could big men still keep their word like those little gangsters on the street?

Although in the end presidents always lose their approval ratings due to lies that cannot be justified, at least they are already presidents, and they no longer care about approval ratings or not.

Ms. Tracy is different. She is not a member of Congress. She is not born with the ability to decide important policy issues!

She cannot respond to some of the voters' ideas and suggestions like Catherine did by saying, "I will discuss this with members of Congress."

She only has the right to "suggest that the Congressmen do certain things," instead of discussing, discussing, and ultimately promoting them with them.

So she stood in a lower position from the beginning, which is why Lynch said it was impossible for her to win!

Looking at the not-too-long history of the Federation, it can be said that almost all presidents came from the Senate!

Never mind those dentists, lawyers, teachers, and cobblers, what they did before.

Before running for president, they basically got involved with senators or their family members. Among the important helpers around them were senators.

Only in this way can "obtaining the position" be considered orthodox!

A president with an unfair position like Mr. Trueman will always encounter many problems in his daily work. Even after his death, many of his policies were directly overturned by Congress!

On the surface, the Federation is a country that advocates freedom very much, and people chant that they are willing to die for freedom!

But in fact, this is just beautification by the rulers!

On some issues, this place is no different from those countries with feudal monarchy!

In those feudal monarchies the power of the state always passed between the royal family, while in the federation it always passed in the Senate of the Congress.

Just like occasionally someone will rise up or rebel, and eventually get the scepter of power, but they will eventually lose it.

In the Federation, there will also be a few candidates who are not from the Senate to become president, but in the end, like the failed insurgents, they will become a clown and a joke of history!

Ms. Tracy's support rate is very low, but she has a good mentality. During the general election, she gradually understood this truth.

Some things are there when you are born, so even if you don’t want it, you can get it anytime and anywhere in your future life.

But there are some things that you didn’t have when you were born, so even if you try your best in this life, you won’t be able to get it!

After all, in the past two to three hundred years, the Federation has only produced one Lynch, but it has had many presidents!

After understanding this truth, Ms. Tracey cared more about the sense of participation in the general election and became more involved. Although the support rate was very low, she was the same as Catherine and the conservative candidate.

She held campaign speeches everywhere, spread her political ideas and platform everywhere, and called on more people to support her.

Although it was of no use, she felt happy and had an explanation for her dead father.

Time has arrived in mid-August in the blink of an eye, which is supposed to be the hottest season of the year, but at this time, the temperature in the southern region of the federation is only hovering below ten degrees.

The temperature at night is still close to zero, or even below zero. The temperature difference spans a lot, and it snows from time to time. There is no summer atmosphere at all.

But this is already very rare good weather for the people of the Federation. Compared with the hell-like environment in Marillo, the situation here is really great!

With the cool summer wind blowing slowly, the Director-General walked up to Lin Qi and handed him a document.

The FBI is also one of the departments that was "released". Of course, the FBI's establishment is still there, but except for the FBI, other departments have been abolished.

And this department has also changed from a law enforcement agency to an agency of "archivists".

Their main job at ordinary times is to maintain the mountains of various documents in the archives.

Insect-proof, moisture-proof, keep dry and warm, ensure these documents will not be damaged due to being stored for too long.

As for handling cases, we no longer do it.

The director-general chose to resign. After swimming in the center of the whirlpool of power all his life, he was unwilling to retire directly when he was not yet old.

So he joined Global Communications and became one of the directors of the intelligence department, focusing on intelligence outside the company and occasionally responsible for the formulation and execution of operations.

Disciplinary issues within the company are still the responsibility of the sergeant. Lynch believes that he can still do a good job in the future.

"These are the list of people who have been in contact with him in the past month. Among them, I saw many old faces."

Lynch took the file bag, turned around and walked towards the room, pulling out the documents inside as he walked.

They are personal files of some people, including their photos, specific personal information, interpersonal relationships, various resumes and other records.

After Lynch spent more than ten minutes reading these documents, he casually placed them on the coffee table. "Are they all from the government department?"

The director-general shook his head, "There are still some consortiums that may have dealings with them, but it is difficult for us to get definite evidence to prove that they are connected around this matter."

"And you know, general elections have always been a time when consortium funds are concentrated, and we don't know whether those financial aiders are doing it for routine purposes or if they have other purposes."

This is indeed a problem, and general elections are always an issue that capital cannot avoid and cannot avoid.

Even Lynch bets on both sides every year in the general election, but the Progressive Party’s bet is bigger.

He doesn't like the Conservative Party's political platform, which is too conservative, or they are unwilling to make more attempts to consolidate power.

Lynch dislikes this very much. Social progress will inevitably make many policies fall behind.

When facing policies that cannot keep up with the development of the times, the first thing that needs to be done is not to make it suitable for the current stage, but to formulate policies that are far beyond the current situation and can be in line with the direction of future social development and be more advanced.

The Progressive Party has done a lot better in terms of radical policies and encouraging policies.

Of course, if he really loses, Lynch will not be the big loser. After all, it is not just him who is betting on both sides, many consortiums are doing this.

But it is really difficult to distinguish among these consortiums which ones are investments to avoid risks and which ones are investments to obtain greater profits.

Lynch put his thoughts back and glanced at the list on the coffee table again.

From the military to the federal government, these people cover almost all branches of the federal government, and they all have one thing in common.

That is, they were once the main persons in charge of powerful departments, or people who could be affected by the power of these departments.

"Losers from the old era who were unwilling to be eliminated!" Lynch accurately labeled them.

Subsequently, new arrangements were made for the Director-General, "Continue to stare at these people. If necessary, we can be more obvious. Don't be afraid to let them find that we are staring at them. It is best to let them feel that we are staring at them." them."

The director-general immediately understood what Lynch meant, "You mean to make them panic first?"

Lynch did not deny it, "The more uneasy a person is, the more he will do things that make him feel safe."

"Quit, or go further."

The director-general agreed immediately. With his methods, he could easily do this. This is why Lynch has always valued him.

As a "bad guy" in people's minds, there are so many things he can do when he is not bound by legal provisions!

Lynch then took the list and went to Connor.

Connor also fell into silence after reading the list. The director-general said that there were many old faces in it, so to Connor?

This year is the last year of his term. During his eight years in the position of federal president, many people on this list have met more than once.

For example, some people who used to have high official positions can be said to be seen frequently, such as a few people on the Security Committee.

But now these people are on opposite sides, and Connor also feels a little troubled.

The trouble is not how to deal with these people, but he is thinking about whether there is a better solution.

"Have you spoken to... (the Conservative Party committee chair)?"

As a core shareholder and a member of the board of directors, the chairman of the Conservative Committee can naturally be regarded as a "collaborator based on common interests."

Lynch nodded, "We talked and his attitude was very ambiguous."

Connor lowered his head and bit his thumbnail as he looked at the documents he had pulled out.

"Understandable." After more than ten seconds, he said.

"If the Conservatives win the election, as chairman of the ruling party committee, his actual position will be the first person in the federation, and there will be so much they can do."

"Then what are you going to do next?"
