“Do you know the Conservative whip?”

Lynch did not directly answer Connor's question about how to deal with the current situation, but asked a question unrelated to this issue.

An old man came to Connor's mind.

In fact, Lin Qi also knew this person, but there was no friendship. At most, they knew each other. When they met, they could nod, and at most they could say hello or shake hands.

There have never been any more in-depth conversations or exchanges.

The political strategy and policy agenda of the Conservative Party will not like people like Lynch. Conservatives actually prefer "maturity". They always believe that only people with a certain age and experience are suitable to take on some important responsibilities in society. rather than young people.

Rather than giving opportunities to young people, they prefer to give opportunities to middle-aged people or even old people.

Therefore, Lynch was too young in the previous years. Even if he had money, it was not easy to expand his influence within the Conservative Party.

The old represent conservatism, stubbornness, and old-fashionedness. They are willing to admit the bright moments of young people, but they still think that young people are unreliable.

This is not a contradiction.

"A guy who is not easy to talk to." Connor thought for a long time, and finally could only use such poor words to describe the Conservative Party whip.

"He has a bad temper and looks very serious. Many people in the Conservative Party have a headache with this guy."

"Because he always makes trouble for others!"

"Of course, from the side, this is also a responsible performance, but you know, if you go too far, people will not like it."

The Conservative Party's loss of two consecutive presidents has caused many problems within the party. The reason why politicians can gather together is that everyone has a common political goal.

Everyone is working hard around this political goal, so everyone gathers together.

But when a party loses two presidents in a row, and the first president did not leave office normally, this causes many problems within the party.

For twenty years, they have not been exposed to governing power. Although the Conservative Party is still a very powerful political force from Congress to local governments.

But in the past twenty years, the core power has not been in their hands after all.

For the country of the Federation, for the planet beneath our feet, and even for the universe and history.

Twenty years is just a short moment, a blink of an eye.

But for people, twenty years may be their entire life.

It is the most important lifetime for them to pursue their ideals, not just twenty years!

A politician who is interested in changing the country graduates from college and joins a political group to start working. By the time they have a certain political status, most of these people are already in their early forties.

Particularly within the Conservative Party, they prefer politicians who are older and more stable, and politicians in their forties waste another twenty years.

This is scary!

Therefore, some politicians, even the backbone, chose to leave or give up during this process.

The worse the atmosphere in the party became, the more things the whip had to do. In the following years, he had more presence than the Chairman of the Conservative Party Committee.

After all, it was his job and daily life that he had nothing to do. People may not remember the smiling party committee chairman, but they can certainly remember the party whip who told him to "be smarter" with a cold face.

Connor said a few words casually. He was not very familiar with this guy, but as a senior figure in the party, he still had some understanding.

"Do you think he can provide you with some help?"

He was curious.

Lynch did not deny it, "We have to replace the disobedient people and replace them with obedient people."

Connor immediately understood what Lynch meant and followed his words, "It's like adjusting the cabinet list!"

The members of the federal presidential cabinet are not elected by the people, but are directly appointed by the president. He can adjust the list of personnel in the presidential cabinet at any time, which is also one of the most important prerogatives of the president.

Lynch wants to adjust the shareholder structure, which is also his power. In a sense, Lynch is the first "ruler" of the new era.

A true ruler!

He then added, "But I think this might not be a good idea."

"That old guy has a bad temper and he's not necessarily going to agree with you and then take your side against... (the Conservative Party committee chairman), if I'm not mistaken."

Lynch shook his head, "It's not that I have to deal with him, it's that he can't devote himself well to his new job and new identity, which has added a lot of trouble to us."

"And I'm a little worried about their obsession with getting the last president. You know the president has a lot of prerogatives, and even Congress can't do anything to the president when necessary."

In times of war, the President would become the dictator of the Union, and even Congress would have to step aside.

During the previous war with Penteo, Mr. Trueman held great power and was highly centralized. The policies and regulations he promoted did not require congressional review and vote at all.

As long as he feels good about it and signs a presidential decree, the bill can be passed directly and enter the implementation stage.

In addition to having the power to make decisions in government affairs, the President will also have the highest authority in terms of military power!

There is support from some military groups behind the Conservative bid for president this time, so Lynch has reason to suspect that some unwilling military officers may be involved with them.

There will never be a shortage of people in this world who are dissatisfied with the current situation and the future. Some people can only hide their dissatisfaction in their hearts, but some people are willing to make some sacrifices to break the dissatisfaction!

Connor touched his smooth chin, "Your worries are warranted. When are you going to meet him?"

Lynch glanced at the calendar on the table and said, "The sooner the better."

As the President of the Federation, Connor easily obtained the telephone number of the Conservative Party Whip and successfully answered his call.

After the two briefly chatted, Connor explained the reason for the call and Lynch wanted to meet him.

With the president as the intermediary, the Conservative party whip has to give this face no matter how bad-tempered he is.

After all, Connor is only about to leave office, not already. Now during the general election, he has many ways to make life uncomfortable for the Conservative Party.

At the agreed time, on the afternoon of the next day, Connor gave Lynch his address and hung up the phone.

"I won't go on your date. Tell me the result after it's over."

Lynch bumped fists with him and said, "I'll give you news after dinner at the latest."

In the afternoon of the next day, Lynch came to the party whip's house as agreed.

Yes, home, not some private club or cafe on the roadside, a high-end restaurant or other social place, came directly to his home.

A single-family house located in a middle-class community is not a villa. It is much simpler in terms of supporting facilities, but it is definitely much better than an ordinary house.

"This is my son's house." The Conservative whip explained why he had a house here. "He served as mayor here in the past few years and later moved to other places, but the house remained. , it just so happens that I live here.”

His wife died unexpectedly more than ten years ago. He has never found a wife and has been living alone.

In recent years, as I have grown older, there has been a nanny in the family.

"sit……"

The two sat down in the living room, and the nanny brought coffee, tea and pastries. The nanny looked to be less than forty years old. Her appearance was very ordinary, even a bit ugly, and her figure was also very bad. She was as fat as a wine barrel. It was said that he was His son found it for him personally.

Why did he find such a nanny? It was obvious that he didn't want any inappropriate emotions to arise between his father and the nanny, which would cause unnecessary impact and losses.

"I want to eat some fish steak tonight. Can you go to the supermarket and check it out?"

The nanny agreed, took off her apron and left the house.

He and Lynch were the only two people left in the house.

The easiest way to deal with such a stubborn old man is to jump into the topic directly without beating around the bush, "...Sir, what do you think of the new era?"

The party whip's eyebrows were raised. With just an opening remark, he could feel Lynch's "sharpness", unlike other "young people" at all.

"You all have done a good job. I have been paying attention to this matter. It was you who proposed the plan. I have to say that you are the most outstanding young man I have seen in these years."

"First ensure that human civilization can continue, and then talk about the redevelopment of society. The thinking is very clear and pragmatic."

"If you have to ask me to comment, I think there is nothing to modify. You have done the best you can!"

Lynch said thank you, but then asked, "But some people think that power is too concentrated in the hands of certain people, such as me. I would like to hear your thoughts on this."

The party whip's eyes stayed on Lynch's face for a moment, and his serious expression softened a little, "It's a good thing that you are willing to tell the truth. I like to chat with sincere people."

"Centralization of power is necessary for the new era, and I have seen all the preparations you have made."

"And the most important thing is that you chose to centralize power, but you did not choose to use the federal government as a container for centralization to do this, leaving a good foundation for the entire federation!"

If the federal government is used as a container for centralized power, many rules must be broken, and the cost of breaking these rules is very serious!

But fortunately, the container for this centralization is a "super monopoly." Even if centralization needs to be ended in the future, it will not require much effort.

We only need to re-promote the implementation of the Anti-Monopoly Law. After the monopoly case is over, the companies will be divided and power will return to the hands of the federal government. It will still be contested through elections among multiple parties in the way originally agreed upon. A phased ruler emerges...
