Chapter 1071 The President Is Not Easy To Be
Ideals cost money.

Pure and lofty ideals cost more.

When Mr. President wants to decide certain policies, someone must test the "enemy situation" for him. Maybe they sit in the office and think well, but in fact they will encounter more bad things.

Lynch is willing to stand out, which is of course the best thing.

The party tonight was very effective. The Federal Department of Agriculture will give Lynch a large grain order and give him a lot of preferential policies, including interest discounts, on the issue of grain imports.

In short, as long as things can come in, Lynch can make a lot of money.

Unlike other commodities, food is a material that plays a key role in the stability of the entire society.

If there is something to eat, at least something to eat, society will not riot.

If there is nothing to eat, and even the minimum security cannot be achieved, the whole society will soon riot.

The Federation cannot be chaotic!
In addition to these other people, they also received some orders. Before leaving, Lynch looked at Anna, "Have you heard any news? Mr. President's attitude today is a bit abnormal."

Anna was a little embarrassed, "Sorry, I didn't notice these things..."

Lynch comforted her, "It's not your fault, you don't have much experience."

Looking at Lynch, Anna began to have doubts about her abilities. She didn't even feel that Mr. President had any emotional problems today.

The whole process seemed very smooth and smooth, and everyone ended many operations that she couldn't understand while talking and laughing.

It wasn't until this moment that she realized that today's situation was wrong—this was something she didn't realize until Lynch said the result first, and she still didn't know why it was wrong and where it was wrong.

After returning home, Lynch went into the study, and no one could enter the study without his permission, including Anna.

Sitting in a chair, he thought for a long time, then brought up Mr. Truman's personal phone and dialed it.

"It's private time now..."

Mr. Truman's voice sounded, and Lynch seemed to have heard a girl's voice faintly. He pretended not to notice anything, "Mr. President invited us to be a guest tonight, and we also negotiated some cooperation projects. What happened?"

"Wait a minute!", followed by a metal twisting sound like rolling out of bed on a spring bed, and then the phone was silent.

After about 2 minutes, the voice came again, "What do you want to ask?"

There was silence, and there was no other sound. Mr. Truman should be in a separate room now.

"I wonder if there has been pressure on Mr. President lately, or if there have been some issues within the party."

Mr. Truman's reaction was quick, "Why do you think so?"

"Your reaction tells me that I guessed it right. As for why..." Lynch pondered for a while, "Because he is more active than ever!"

After hearing Lynch's words, Mr. Truman fell into a brief silence. What kind of person is Mr. President, one year is enough for many people to see his essence clearly——

Even if you can't see the complete essence, you can at least understand what kind of character he is.

Behind the seemingly radical is a conservative style, he is not a pure radical, he is a conservative among radicals.

This is normal, he spent more than 60.00% of his life in a conservative environment.

The federal people's pursuit of freedom and enjoyment makes them more afraid of war than people in other countries. To put it bluntly, they are afraid of death, and they are conservative because they are afraid of death.

Their choices can be regarded as conservativeness caused by "selfishness", but in any case, people living in such a cautious environment are unlikely to change their minds easily.

You must know that the political platform of the Progressive Party three years ago was also conservative, but they advocated military preparedness in order to prevent wars that might affect the Federation at any time and anywhere.

This was considered quite radical at the time.

But who would have known that conservatism would soon be abandoned by society and the public, and radicalism would begin to take to the stage, which made Mr. President himself unable to turn around.

He approached these issues more conservatively than truly radically.

Radicalism is just a disguise he used to deceive voters to vote for him. Anyone who really knows him knows that he is not that tough!

This may be a common feature of the elderly in this era. They have lived their lives carefully and will not change their attitude so easily if they do not encounter some accidents.

This evening, Mr. President talked about some issues in Nagalil and Mariro, as well as some issues in the international community. He has broken through his "limit" and he has become more radical.

Lynch felt that the most likely reason for such a change was that someone put some pressure on him.

After a short silence, Mr. Truman said something Lynch didn't know.

"Now the federal government and the party have two views. The first is to establish a new world regime with the federation at its core, and the federation will occupy a dominant position in this new world regime."

"There are a lot of people interested in this idea, especially the military, who unconditionally support the federal government in doing this and are willing to offer their loyalty to it, you know what I mean?"

Lynch changed his sitting position, "Yes, they are eager for war."

"That's it!"

"Another idea is to have a federation with more say in the federation, where every country is equal in terms of status, like a congress."

"Then what issues do we need to discuss, you know, the gentlemen in Congress never make decisions so quickly."

"In this way, the Federation will not become the main enemy of other power-struggling countries, such as Gefla, and our relationship with Gefla will not intensify in a short time."

"The advantage is that we have more time to accumulate strength and develop the military. The disadvantage is that we may not be so important."

"At least we are less important than the first thought."

This is like a monarchy and a parliamentary system. No matter how the power of the monarch shrinks, it is still the monarch and will always have privileges.

No matter how much power a member of parliament expands, in the end what he wants to do needs more people to support him!

Radicals wanted the federation to move toward the first goal, while some in Congress wanted the latter.

These elderly members of parliament instinctively dislike wars and turmoil. They just want to consolidate their power, and then gain more wealth and connections.

As for fighting or something...they don't need it!
According to the federal charter, once a war breaks out, the power of the president will completely override the congress. In other words, once a war breaks out, many things can be directly decided by the president as the final opinion without going through a congressional vote.

It seems that the person who wrote the charter is also very smart. At least he knows that the gentlemen in Congress are not good people, and he also knows that if too important things are handed over to Congress, the situation may become very bad.

After all, the time for various decisions during the war is very short, and there is no time for them to canvass each other, lobby, and vote for several rounds.

Therefore, if the Congress does not want its power to shrink and the president's power not to be controlled, the best way is to avoid the outbreak of war and avoid the war for too long.

The problem has gone back to the beginning. If a new world regime with the Federation as the core is to be built, once a large-scale war breaks out again, the Federation will definitely intervene in the war as soon as possible.

The First World War lasted six full years from its outbreak to its end. In six years, the Congress became a decoration, and the president became an emperor. How could this be possible?

Therefore, the gentlemen of the Congress are more inclined to the second idea. Wouldn’t it be enough for everyone to have an international “Congress” for fun?

If we don't establish an enemy, we will naturally not be attacked. The time to join the war can be delayed, and we can even join the battlefield at the end of the war.

At that time, the power of the federation can still become a decisive force, which not only enhances the status and prestige of the federation in the world, but also restricts the prerogatives obtained by the president during wartime, which is very good.

After all, the first year of the president's "novice year" has ended, and the president's own personnel have been installed in various departments, and the implementation of his political platform will begin next.

If you don't make a decision at this time, it will be difficult to make a decision later.

Behind these people in Congress are some capitalists, and not all capitalists want war.

That's right, materials will become scarce during the war, and commodity prices will increase, but these capitalists are also subject to various factors such as the supply of raw materials, and they are not completely free and happy.

There are still many capitalists whose businesses do not meet the keyword of "war wealth" at all, and will lose huge profits because of the war, so they are even less likely to support the first idea.

This is actually quite normal. Where there is light, there will be darkness.

Where there is a positive, there will be a negative.

It's just that those people in Congress put a little more pressure on the president, wanting him to recognize some of the status quo, which also dissatisfied Mr. President who has not expressed his position.

The party supports the radical route. At least for now, the radical route can bring more benefits to the federal government and society.

And conservatism...has no meaning to the current complicated international situation.

Where there are differences, there will be contradictions, which is why Mr. President talked about some policies with people like Lynch in this way.

He's making a statement, and he's trying to tell other people that he's fucking mad.

After listening to Mr. Truman's explanation, Lynch nodded slightly, that's right.

If a conservative person becomes a little radical, it must be caused by external forces. He will not become radical on his own, but this is a good thing for the Federation and young people like them.

After Mr. Truman finished speaking, he also asked by the way, "What do you think?"
