Blackstone Code

Ten thousand soldiers who have been trained by war and have outstanding combat experience gathered in a private company, which made the president a little uneasy.

The Ministry of National Defense thinks there is no big problem. They believe in the loyalty of those young men to the country. The Security Committee's secret investigation into Blackstone's security has been continuing. So far, no obvious attempts by Lynch to bribe middle and high-level officials have been found.

He knew that these people were arranged by the federal government, but he never asked about specific matters. It was like... a very tacit cooperation.

The Ministry of National Defense contributes people, and the money he makes is shared by everyone.

But Mr. President is still a little worried, which can be seen as a politician's instinctive prejudice against violence.

Because violence is always unpredictable.

You don't know if you scolded the person opposite you, whether he chose to calm down the anger in his heart by greeting your family like you did, or whether he just punched you.

Politicians hope that everyone can solve problems with their mouths, but the military, the institutions of violence, are experts at solving problems with their fists.

The military is actually okay, after all, they are managed by the federal government and Congress, but the private armed agencies... are a bit uncertain.

Moreover, these people in his hands can be said to be the most elite troops in the country at present. Even the federal army does not have as much combat experience as these people.

So much so that there is a saying within the military that makes people feel a little funny, absurd, but also a little frightening——

"If one day the Federation really wants to participate in a large-scale war, they will definitely transfer the officers from Blackstone Security back."

"Because they know better than us how to conduct a war!"

The consequence of this statement is that some people regard Blackstone Security as a "military academy". Going to work is to further their studies, and then find an opportunity to return to the army and directly become a senior officer.

Mr. President felt that this was a bit dangerous and others did not agree, so he could only turn to Mr. Trueman. The two of them had a good relationship and trusted each other.

Mr. Trueman was silent for a moment and offered his thoughts, "No one is absolutely safe, or absolutely unsafe."

"Lynch is a very special person. He is very interested in making money, power and so on..." Mr. Trueman shook his head. "I have proposed many times that he enter the political arena, and even directly invited him to come. Help me, but he refused."

"I don't know if this is his true thoughts or a deliberate choice, but at least he is showing an attitude that he doesn't care about certain things."

Mr. Trueman said and laughed, "Just like people like Mr. Geruno, no matter how much power you give them, they will not try to do anything."

"They are capitalists, and the nature of capitalism is to plunder and exploit, while we are public servants serving the federal government."

After listening to this, Mr. President thought for a while and couldn't help but laugh, "You are right, we are the ones who stand with the people, they are not."

I don't know what he understood, but the worry on his face was no longer as serious as it was at the beginning.

The unique political atmosphere of the Federation allows every politician here to have deeper contact with the capitalists. Many of them are the spokespersons of the capitalists. Especially in Congress, this phenomenon is almost never hidden and will be shown.

Mr. Trueman continued on the topic, "Actually, Lynch should have a better relationship with us than others."

"Except for Blackstone Security, other security companies are now very cautious about recruiting people. For example, in the new security company founded by Mr. Geruno, he hardly accepts resume submissions and only accepts internal recommendations."

"It is difficult for our people to insert them. So far, there may only be a dozen people who have entered his company, and the Security Committee believes that he deliberately put these people in."

"He knew who was who from the beginning, and we didn't get too deep into it, and those guys we have are constantly training now."

"Lynch never refuses us to add people inside. He is more trustworthy than others."

After the passage of the Overseas Security Act, major companies have formed their own security companies. To put it bluntly, they are private armed forces, but now these have become legal.

Before the Foreign Security Act was enacted, didn’t major companies have their own private armed forces?

Impossible, every big company has one, such as some large consortiums and chaebols, which are quite small in scale.

Why do some things have to be moved from darkness to light?

In the final analysis, it is the rules of the overall society that restrict them. Private armed forces cannot be seen in the light, and many things can only be done secretly.

After the "Overseas Security Act" was passed, these people could surface. The reason why Congress was able to pass this bill so smoothly was that Geruno spent a lot of money to open up the joints.

Secondly, the federal government and those politicians can also get certain benefits from this bill, such as those hidden things coming to the surface.

It's hard to say whether this choice is right or wrong, but at least everyone can accept it, and this makes it possible to pass.

Mr. President also pondered for a moment, "I also know about this matter, but at present we have no good solution. I am very frustrated, because it was only when I reached this position that I discovered that the President is not the messenger of God. I Not omnipotent.”

The Messenger of God is a legend in the Federation. It is said that when God came to the world, he was not born, but was sent to the earth from heaven by his messenger.

This is very confusing. In short, a centaur with antlers on its head ran out of the kingdom of heaven carrying a flower basket woven with rattan silk, and then placed the flower basket containing God in a river. In the end, God was captured by the Holy Father and The Holy Mother picked it up.

So on Advent Day, which is the day when God descends to the earth, it is said that centaurs will run out of heaven and give some small gifts to the children of the Federation.

This is really a stingy guy, because children in other countries do not have such opportunities, and this just proves the core of the inaugural speeches of past presidents of the Federation - God bless the Union (God loves and bless the Union).

The centaur with antlers has also become a very festive sacred object. Every time around Saint Advent, its toys will be very popular.

Mr. Trueman didn't know what to say to comfort the president, because he was also one of the "victims" persecuted by the capitalists.

"It will be fine, at least we are already looking for changes."

After a while, Mr. Trueman broke the silence and smiled. "At least no one is stopping us on the issue of education reform. This is our victory, and it also tells us that we have discovered the trick."

The president's expression has also softened a lot, and he is even a little proud. The formation of the Education Reform Committee by Congress essentially means that the Senate does not have much opposition to this reform proposal.

Therefore, a temporary education reform committee was established to handle some matters related to education reform in the process of promoting education reform throughout the federation.

Perhaps this committee will become a permanent one, but it is also possible that it will be disbanded after the president leaves office.

But regardless, it's a good sign that they're not doing nothing, they're working on it, and it's getting more and more effective.

The first four years of every president are always very unhappy, because the power is not yet stable, because there are still a lot of capitalists demanding returns, because there are still another four years of re-election——

They must compromise with capitalists and even Congress on many issues, because if you don't do that, capitalists will not support your re-election, and Congress will find someone to embarrass you from time to time, such as impeachment or something.

Only by getting through the difficult four years ahead will the best four years come.

Federal law requires re-election after one term, which also means that most presidents actually have no future, and they will have no desires after being re-elected.

Don’t support the president’s work?

It doesn't matter, he will step down in four years regardless of whether he supports it or not.

This is why people often say that after four years, the president's power will increase infinitely. They will have no desires and demands, and naturally no one can force them to bow their heads.

Mr. President seemed to have thought of something, "I heard that the little intern girl, Catherine, is participating in activities in this area."

The first girl in the history of the Presidential Office who has no background and still serves the entire internship period.

Even Catherine herself didn’t know that she would become one of the important parts of history. It was even possible that the Presidential Palace would have a room dedicated to displaying similar things in the future, and she was qualified to occupy one of the positions.

Mr. Trueman didn't know what the president meant by asking the question first. He just nodded, "Yes."

A simple answer leaves no room for imagination.

But Mr. President obviously still had something to say, "I learned about her speeches, which allowed more people to afford college, and she also used herself as a case. Does this have anything to do with Lynch?"

Mr. Trueman hesitated again and nodded, "Yes, Lynch told me that he and Catherine both regretted their lives because they had no money to go to college, so he hoped to have a chance to change the situation. "

Mr. President laughed, "He is indeed different from others. Those people will not think of this. What is he going to do?"

Mr. Trueman suddenly felt a little hot-skinned. "He wants to set up a fund to help ordinary students with excellent studies go to college, and at the same time give loans to other families who have the opportunity but don't have the financial resources to go to college."

"He is different from others. He still thinks about some social issues."
