Blackstone Code

"Me?" Ferrara was still driving the car very attentively. He glanced at the other car behind this car. The people in the cab came out with Lynch, guessing that it should be Lynch's bodyguard kind of character.

At this moment he was a little dazed, as if he and Lynch had met for the first time not long ago, and Lynch put a check for five thousand yuan on the table and asked him for some solutions.

In a blink of an eye, has Lynch developed to the point where he needs to carry bodyguards with him?

He came back to his senses, "It's okay, in fact, everyone knows that I'm just a..." He pursed his lips and showed a helpless smile, and shook his head, "...It's just a transition, and I have no right to complain What, instead, I want to thank you, the governor, and the mayor for their recommendation."

If there is no accident, the next mayor of Sabine City, that is, the current mayor Langdon, will announce his resignation as mayor after the state election, and recommend Ferrara to replace him and become Sabine City Mayor. 's new mayor.

With Langdon's recommendation, the governor's support, and Lynch's affirmation, there was almost no resistance to Ferrara's election as mayor, but he won't be the mayor for long.

Langdon had a bit of a dispute with the governor before. The governor wanted to hand over the job of mayor of Sabine to his brother, but Mayor Langdon did not agree. He exchanged his favor for the support of the party.

This also led to a little conflict between the two, and now they began to resolve the conflict to a limited extent because of Lynch's relationship, and Mayor Langdon was also willing to give up the position of mayor to change to a new job as a member of the House of Representatives.

In exchange, his staff and secretary Ferral would temporarily become the acting mayor of Sabine, but only for two years.

Two years later, Ferrara will resign from his current job on the grounds that he is not capable of being the mayor of a city. At the same time, he will elect a state senator to take over his job. Then the state legislature will hold two hearings and finally judge In one fell swoop, the state senator could take over Ferrer's job as Sabine's new mayor and launch a new mayoral campaign.

The reason why there is such an arrangement has nothing to do with his identity. His relationship with the governor is very ordinary, let alone because he is another nephew of Adelaide. He and the governor are also relatives so that someone can make an unfair decision. ,That is impossible!

Can’t we contribute to the people of the Federation if we are related to the governor?

absurd!

In short, this will satisfy everyone's needs and complete the process of ushering in a new mayor. Ferrara will also be promoted to a cadre by the party because of his two years of experience in power. If he can find some capitalists like Lynch to support him to run for office, then it is possible for him to really go to the ruling party, become a real mayor, and step onto the political stage.

In short, the whole process does not seem to be very complicated, but there are too many interests involved. For example, after the state senator who should be a brother of the governor becomes the mayor, there will be an extra state senator.

Everyone knows that the governor is seeking more re-election, and a position of state senator can definitely make a force stand on his side.

Don't underestimate the state senators. Under the relatively autonomous system of the states implemented by the federal government, the state legislature is actually not much different from the Congress. They can also initiate, submit, review, and vote for various local bills. It's just that they Its influence is not as great as that of the Congress, and it can only affect itself and the surrounding areas.

From a purely practical point of view, it's not too bad.

In fact, there are more interest exchanges that people cannot see behind this. People can only see that the new mayor resigns suddenly, and then a new mayor comes in.

"This is actually not bad, at least I don't need to participate in the election campaign!" Ferrara had a smile on his face when he said this. He was not really afraid of running for office. Where does the confidence come from.

The unprecedented economic recession has made front-line politicians like "mayors" a high-risk industry. This is no longer the time to consider whether a politician has qualified political literacy. The problem now is that it doesn't matter who comes!

One by one will die, which is why the Conservative Party will retreat across the board. The previous president left a mess that they themselves cannot clean up, so they should simply not take the initiative to compete and use retreat to advance.

When people find out that the Progressive Party actually has no specific purpose, they will stand up and compete actively. By then the economy will almost start to improve, and people will think about it, should they try changing to another ruling party?

At that time, they can stand in the sun and accept people's cheers, but now, it is not the time.

But no one is that stupid now. Taking over a mess and then proving to people that he is as bad as his predecessor has no meaning except making himself a laughing stock, not to mention Mayor Langdon’s nomination and the governor’s briefing, as well as Lin Even with the support of these businessmen, if someone stands up to compete with Ferrara, how stupid it is!

Of course, those who accompany them are not counted. The Federation is a country with a high degree of freedom, and fairness and justice are what people pursue.

"I am about to be in that position, but it makes me a little scared. You know, it was another person who made the decision before, not me. Now it is me who makes the decision. I have to face the good or bad results by myself. This has put me under a lot of pressure lately."

He turned the steering wheel slowly and did not ignore road safety while communicating with Lynch. He did not pay attention to the vehicles behind him. "Sometimes I want to retreat for a moment, but I can't do that."

Ferral is indeed under a lot of pressure. Although the situation in the city has improved, the unemployment rate remains high. The relief stations that distribute relief food every day are overcrowded with people holding food vouchers and waiting to receive food. ordinary citizens of Japan.

Mayor Langdon previously dared to defy the governor's private "suggestions" and insisted on running for mayor and successfully winning the election. Now his departure cannot be said to be a compromise, but more likely to "retreat in spite of difficulties."

The only difference in the situation was that if he did well, everyone would be happy, but more likely he would not do well enough, and it would be even more embarrassing to be ousted from the stage, so he withdrew in time and retained the victory.

From the perspective of the actual power held by an individual, the mayor is obviously higher than the members of the House of Representatives, but from the perspective of individual influence on the entire society, the latter has greater influence and has more economic and political value when it is transformed. .

The mayor had a way to make a concession, but Ferral had no possibility or room to retreat, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet.

The two chatted and the car slowly stopped outside the city hall. Mayor Langdon was indeed leaving here, but before he really left, he was still the mayor of this city, so Lynch should visit him first.

"Congratulations……"

As soon as he entered the door, the mayor took the initiative to welcome Lynch and held Lynch's hand cordially, "I knew that choosing you was the most correct decision. It only took more than a year for the club to win a championship. Yesterday they also held a small-scale celebration, which was very lively. You can watch the replay of the news and there will be an introduction in it."

As he spoke, he and Lynch walked to the edge of the sofa and sat down. "Sports are very effective in reviving the morale of citizens. At least people's appearance will not be as bad as before. You did a good job. I was talking to you yesterday." Ferral talks about these things and considers encouraging more people to promote careers in sports."

Ferral, who was serving the two of them, nodded and placed two glasses of wine in front of them. Mayor Langdon pointed to the sofa next to him and said, "Sit down too."

Originally, there was no place for Ferral in such an occasion, but considering that he would soon take over as Mayor Langdon, the mayor needed to give him corresponding respect.

No one knows what their respective development will be like in the past. Not only because of their cooperation in the past, but also because Ferral is still young, it is necessary to respect him.

After talking for a while, Lynch turned the topic to Mayor Langdon's whereabouts, "I heard that your whereabouts have been decided?"

This was originally a very embarrassing topic. Before this, the governor could not guarantee that he could help him reach the House of Representatives. It was very likely that he would build a state Senate in the state to work. However, unexpectedly, a member of the House of Representatives from the party suddenly Fall ill and hospitalized.

That was an old gentleman who had dedicated his whole life to the people of the Federation. He was seventy-five years old and still worked hard at his post without complaint.

The doctor checked his body and thought that he could no longer contribute to the federation. He was very sad, but he also got a new opportunity. The governor immediately mobilized his energy to elect this old congressman who had dedicated his life to the federation to be elected to Congress. Mayor Langdon, as his successor, took over his duties.

Of course, this is just a relatively simple statement. In fact, it is also very complicated. After Mayor Langdon resigns, he will first work as an assistant for this silently dedicated old gentleman for about one or two months to familiarize himself with the working procedures of the House of Representatives. .

Then this old gentleman who is eager to contribute light and heat to the Federation will say that he really can't do it. The state house to which he belongs will elect the old gentleman's successor after at least two rounds of voting. It is very likely that it was when he fell ill. During this period, Langdon had been silently helping him complete his work.

As long as he can pass two public defenses held by the Congressman Election Committee and no more than half of the people object, then Langdon will represent another state in the House of Representatives and become an honorable member who serves the people.

This involves a political exchange between the governor and another state, so it is definitely not as simple as saying it.

Now Mayor Langdon seems to have figured it out. He is not young, and the governor is unlikely. Rather than continue to huddle here and waste his time for a little bit of power, it is better to go to Congress to serve the federal people!

At least, this way he can have a happy old age without having to worry about money!
