Chapter 1060 Is there anyone who is not innocent?

With such a judgment, Austin left quickly. Before leaving, she looked back at the fish tank.

When she was hiding behind the fish tank just now, she saw Horn feeding these ferocious meat-eating fish with some fresh meat. She always felt...the meat might not be normal.

Nature is amazing. It endows each species with different characteristics. For example, cattle have bright red meat and white fat, but the butter produced from the white fat is slightly yellowish, very light, and almost It's too obvious.

Another example is chicken. Chicken has relatively white meat, yellow fat tissue, and the fat is bright yellow after refining.

Talking again...human beings.

Human muscles are red, and fat is yellow, which is much deeper than pure bright yellow. If you see fat with a hint of red, it must be human.

Apart from humans, no other species seems to have such yellow fat!
There seemed to be a small piece of dark yellow fat on the piece of meat just now.

She was already standing by the door, then stepped back, and opened the cabinet under the fish tank. Inside was an iron bucket, about half a meter deep, with a wide mouth, filled with bloody water.

The moment the barrel was pulled out, a fishy smell hit the face, which was unusually fishy.

Note that it is either fishy or fishy, ​​with a hint of stink.

This is not beef, nor lamb, nor pork. Austin poked it with a steel fork, and there were some pieces of meat with a lot of ice cubes at the bottom.

The bloody water in the bucket should not be all blood, there should be a lot of water after the ice cubes slowly melted, mixed with blood, and became what it is now.

The few pieces of meat that were scooped up were all very clean, and it was impossible to tell whether they were human body tissues.

These meats... were all cut very large, and just when she was hesitating, she poked a finger on the fork.

Austin's pupils shrank suddenly. She was not afraid of dead people or corpses, but she still felt sick.

Every day on the border, it is possible to face sudden outbreaks of fighting at any time, and dead people are normal.

Not only did she want to kill people, but she also stripped the corpses and threw them into the newly dug pit to avoid causing disease.

She never felt that the dead were disgusting, nor did she make people feel afraid, but at this moment, her hairs stood on end.

Not being afraid of corpses and feeding them to fish are two different situations.

The current situation made her feel sick!

She silently put everything back into the distance, and left quickly.

A few minutes later, Austin reappeared beside Lynch.

"You look like you're sick." Lynch looked at her a few more times, her face was a little pale, and there were beads of sweat on her forehead and temples that she didn't notice, and it might have reappeared after wiping off .

Austin smiled reluctantly, "I'm fine, thank you."

Lynch didn't ask any more questions, and if she continued to ask, it was very likely that some of the secrets she had inquired about would be involved.

To be honest, Lynch was not at all interested in what Austin did and what he got.

At least he felt that Horn would not be richer than himself, and at the same time he couldn't get what he wanted from Horn.

If he wanted to kill Horn, he might only need a few orders, and Horn would disappear from this world.

Even the bombing of Bliss Island was just a matter of asking the Ministry of Defense for an "exercise approval document" for him.

Not far away, Horn was talking to a well-known senator. The senator's name may not be special, but this person is very special.

He has already announced to the federal society that he will consider running for the general election seven years later, to run for the presidency, and will resign as a senator at that time.

If it works, he's Mr. President.

If that fails, he's a former Mr. Senator.

The media saw him as a man of determination and courage, who also belonged to the Progressive Party, and people saw this as the Progressive Party's confidence in controlling swings in presidential power.

How courageous is it to resign first and then run for office?

In fact, the information that the public comes into contact with is written by those media after they have received enough benefits.

Lynch knew about this. Although he was a relatively transparent person in the Progressive Party, he was very rich, so this could not prevent some news that he didn't care about from reaching his ears.

The senator won backing from top Progressive Party officials and committees for his presidential bid by relinquishing his senatorial status and nominating another Progressive Party member to take his place.

There has never been any unreasonable gift in this world, and behind all the gifts are contributions that are not known by people!
He has full confidence in running for president seven years later, and he has already started preparations. Lynch is not very optimistic about him.

On the contrary, he believes that if Mr. Truman can make a decision, he will have a better chance of victory than anyone else.

the reason is simple.

Ten years after the First World War, various countries should have come out of post-war reconstruction and recovery, and made certain breakthroughs in technology and other aspects, and the cloud of war will once again cover the world.

At such a tense moment, how can a presidential candidate who is purely a politician win against a presidential candidate who is a soldier?

People don't need a president who likes to be on the golf course with a coffee cup in one hand and a golf club in the other, and is always ready to go hunting.

What they need is a tough guy, a president who knows war, understands war, and has a deep understanding of war and wartime society.

Mr. Truman fit all the requirements, and he had the best chance of winning.

But there is a small prerequisite here, that is, he is willing to run for election.

Lynch could sense Mr. Truman's ambivalence, he was reluctant to go too fast, he was still young.

If he becomes president in eight years, Mr. Truman may be in his 50s by the time the president arrives.

A man approaching retirement in his 50s...

Politics is different from the work of ordinary people. The older a politician is, the more things he is exposed to, the more secrets he has, the more favors he has in his hands, and the deeper his understanding of the country and society.

Therefore, the older politicians are, the stronger their political power will be.

It's not like workers, especially those with heavy physical work, after the age of 40, their physical strength declines and their physical fitness declines, so they can only change jobs.

A politician in his 50s is at his peak and can only retire. This is not a good thing!

Of course, logically speaking, Mr. Truman can continue to run for the presidency when he is in his 60s, but the problem is that this has never happened in the history of the Federation.

If Mr Truman does, it would mean a group of 30-somethings running for president, destabilizing federal politics.

So even if Mr Truman wanted to run, the Progressive Party would not support him.

Without the support of the party, he basically has no chance of winning the election!

Unless someone throws money at him recklessly.

But this is impossible, Lynch will not do it.

He can only retire, at the most mature stage of his life, retirement, how cruel it is!
It is impossible for a person who has been a president to become a bureau chief or join the army, and Congress will not allow him to do so. He can only retire and watch others shine.

This is where he is most contradictory. He wants to do something, but he doesn't dare to do it.

Unlike the guy in front of him, he has risked everything in order to be president.

Bliss Island itself has many irregularities. Its existence is actually the reason for the joint efforts of many parties.

Moreover, there are people who bear all the responsibilities on the surface. Even if a problem does occur and one Horn is lost, everyone else will be fine. Bliss Island can still stay and become a common paradise for everyone.

Even Lynch knew without guessing that the senator had abstained from voting on issues related to Paradise Island.

There are two situations in the voting in the Congress. One is the affirmative vote counting the total number of votes. For example, if there are 150 people, two-thirds of the people need to vote to pass, that is to say, 100 people vote in favour.

Whether other people abstain from voting or oppose it, it doesn't matter.

Another way is to calculate the valid votes for and against. For example, if there are 150 people, seven of them abstain from voting, two people agree, one person opposes, and the motion is passed.

It's funny, it's absurd.

But the rules are like this. After treating abstentions as invalid votes, the number of votes for a certain party can be enlarged. Of course, everyone must communicate before voting.

Even if some taxpayers have no energy because of work and hear some rumors, the congressmen have sufficient evidence that they are just rumors!

They abstained, and they abstained because they heard that there was something tricky in it!
"Have you considered that Horn might be a criminal?" Austin hesitated for a long time, but couldn't help expressing his thoughts.

She felt that Lynch was reliable, at least during the time she was in contact with Lynch, Lynch never did anything beyond her moral bottom line.

As for the messy private life, come on, that's the private life of a Federation young man.

Some universities are said to be experimenting with mixed dormitories, meaning boys and girls will live in one dormitory.

Conservatives criticized the ugly attitude of the school for this, thinking that this practice is a humiliation to students and knowledge.

And those who support it...they think it's good!

Except for his somewhat chaotic private life, Lynch has no shortcomings, and he doesn't even look like a capitalist!

Lynch tilted his head and looked at her, with a half-smile, "Look, is there anyone in this room who is not a criminal?"

Austin froze for a moment, unable to recover for a long time.

　The child is about to start school soon, and there may be a little confusion about all kinds of troubles and changes. After the bear child starts school, it will be stable
