Chapter 2033

The FBI director knew Lynch's power better than anyone else.

What he has now is not just simple wealth and so-called capital strength.

His allies in politics and his control in Congress include Blackstone Security, which has expanded to more than 4 people, and his military-industrial enterprises.

These all represent that Lynch is the one who can truly stand tall.

He is still very young, only 29 years old. If he can live to be 70 years old, then he still has 41 years of his own.

And in the past 41 years, Lynch will only get stronger and stronger.

Many people are waiting for Lynch to lose once, but the director doesn't think Lynch will lose.

Because the most difficult period for the Federation has passed, Lynch has never lost in such a complicated environment, let alone the next period of great development.

Especially the fact that he took people to arrest Joanna also made him realize that maybe Lynch is hiding more things than he imagined!

There are crowds of people where the distant light focuses, and no one will notice those people standing outside the light.

And these people are also smoothly hidden in the shadows, just like all the "behind the scenes", quietly, undiscovered, and integrated with the whole world.

The Progressive Party has nominated two main candidates this time, one is Connor, and the other is an accompanying runner.

In addition, Gladstone also hopes that others will stand up and express their willingness to participate in the campaign.

There is no threshold for campaigning, and anyone can participate in the campaign.

Whether it is a mayoral election, a governor's election, or a federal presidential election, there is no threshold.

Anyone, be it a doctor, a lawyer, a soldier, an accountant, or a bum on the side of the road, can declare that they will compete with everyone else for that one and only position!
The bar for running for president is low, but the ceiling is high.

You must at least let people know you, and you must convince everyone that you are the savior in order to achieve final success!

Gladstone's idea is to increase Connor's approval rating through some "star campaigns".

The so-called "election aid", to put it bluntly, is to use the special emotional connection of "we are our own people" to firmly grasp some votes that would not have been produced in the first place.

For example, Gladstone suggested that the most popular and most popular male star in the Federation should also participate in the election——

"Almost everyone here has seen your movie. I think you have good public support. Even if it fails, this is a successful hype!"

The male star is a supporter of the Progressive Party, and the progressive party's enlightened political ideas have made very special contributions to the development of the film industry.

The actor may have spoken to Gladstone about it before he said it, at least before today.

At this time, the hesitation he showed and the persuasion of the people around him were like rehearsed movie clips.

In the end, he agreed to Gladstone's request and announced his participation in the general election two years later.

People also applauded the actor one after another. Most of the people who can be invited to such a meeting have enough brains.

Lynch also took a look at the male star. He was in his forties, with a handsome appearance and a gentlemanly demeanor. He was very popular among movie fans.

Federal people still have an inexplicable trust in idols. Idols have not been noticed by capitalists and played badly. At least at the current stage, more detailed means are not needed.

He must be able to get a lot of votes. Now women's votes are equal to men's votes because of the war. This is his advantage.

Lynch can even guess the next script. When the general election enters the next stage, the male star will definitely withdraw from the general election for various reasons.

He may use reasons such as "I recognize my shortcomings and realize that I am not enough to shoulder such responsibilities now" to withdraw from the general election.

But when he withdraws, he will also convey another message to the voters who support him——

"Mr. Connor and I have talked many times. Although we are competitors, we appreciate each other!"

"Mr. Connor is a politician with great ideals and methods. I believe that the Federation will go to a better place under his leadership..."

Presumably something like this turned supporters into Connor supporters.

Doing so seems... a bit useless?
In fact, this is not the case, because among the supporters of male celebrities, there are not only supporters of the Progressive Party, but also supporters of the Conservative Party!
It is not easy for Connor to win supporters of the Conservative Party. Voter antagonism is an ever-existing and unresolvable problem.

But the male star can solve this part well.

People who switch to Connor will think that they are not supporting Connor, but still supporting the male star.

Connor will not show excessive enthusiasm for this part of the supporters, causing the opposite effect!
Politicians always have various ways to gain more support from voters, and using campaign aid is just one of them.

Gladstone is active, and so is Connor.

Gladstone needs to push Connor to win the election to stabilize his position. Only when a president whom he pushes to power appears, no one will try to challenge him.

Like his "teacher", he can sit in this position until retirement.

In the second half of the party, everyone was talking about their guesses about the future and some issues related to the development of the federal economy.

It is inevitable that Bu Pain's expansion plan will also be discussed.

Eight years have passed since the last expansion of Bupain. During these eight years, the scale of the city expanded by Bupain has once again made people feel crowded.

Moreover, with the victory of the war, more people immigrated to the Federation, and the entry of international capital, Bu Pain did need a new round of expansion.

In addition to these, some male stars were invited to the party, and social figures with certain social popularity were discussing relatively ordinary issues.

Income, taxes, living conditions, etc...

Towards the end of the party, Gladstone found Lynch again and made an appointment with him.

He, Connor, and Lynch needed to talk privately.

Lynch didn't refuse.

If Connor can really become the next president, it will be a good thing for him.

On the way back, Lynch thought about some changes in the upper management.

Mr. Truman didn't hand over the power and then left, which also made the upper level of the Federation a little chaotic. It seemed to be the same as before, but the efficiency was obviously reduced a lot.

The two girls sitting next to each other kept chatting quietly.

As one of the few people in the "entertainment circle" who participated in today's party, apart from Penny, who everyone is familiar with and has attracted much attention, Slany also entered the sight of many people for the first time.

No matter what relationship she has with Lynch, for Lynch's sake, including the male star who in her eyes is like a little sun covering the entertainment industry, he is also very polite and even humbly expresses his feelings. greeting.

It gave Slanie a sense of being valued. For a girl of her age, they always thought they were adults and could handle the world on their behalf.

But what I think, being recognized by others, and being recognized by those big shots are obviously different concepts!
She became a little verbose, and Penny couldn't stand her a little bit, and could only tell her, "You gotta get used to this, and you're going to have more situations like this in the future."

"Those big people will come to greet you kindly, and their wives will hold your arm and talk to you about some private topics."

"But you have to be careful, these women seem very friendly, but the ghost knows if they will hide some purpose."

"All the questions that have nothing to do with Lynch, you can say it or not."

"Don't leak a word about all the issues related to Lynch."

Slanni nodded again and again, but she was also a little confused, "Then won't they be dissatisfied?"

Petunia turned and sat sideways, with her back leaning against Lynch, pouted, "As long as this man doesn't find you impatient, even the president has to take care of your emotions!"

Slanni once again refreshed her understanding of Lynch, which is incredible!
This kind of inconceivability is only the inconceivability of a half-grown girl, and what is even more inconceivable is... Lynch received a call from the chairman of the Conservative Party Committee.

The old man who is about to retire wants to chat with Lynch!

For the Conservative Party, in fact, Lynch did not pay much attention.

In the Federation, there is actually not much difference between the Conservative Party and the Progressive Party. The reason why there are multiple parties in the Federation is to reconcile class conflicts and dissatisfaction with the rulers at the bottom of society.

Let multiple parties alternate in power, and let those who have resented the ruling party during each other's administrations enter the other party to shine.

This set of things is not clever, but surprisingly easy to use.

Just like some people who are determined to reform will definitely stand on the side of the Progressive Party, while those who are relatively conservative in thinking are supporters of the Conservative Party.

Without these two parties providing "political beliefs" for the people, society is likely to become a mess!

Lynch hesitated for a while, but finally agreed to the old man's request for an appointment.

He also felt from this phone call that both the Conservative Party and the Progressive Party are determined to win the general election two years later.

As for the Socialist Party...it's too early to talk about that.

In the evening, Slanni showed enthusiasm and enthusiasm that had never erupted before. Compared with the relatively passive acceptance of the previous few times, she is undoubtedly much more active today.

Girls all have vanity and a strong desire to show off. What I saw today had a great impact on her!
In the past, she was with Lynch purely because Penny needed her to do so. Although she couldn't resist, she didn't think it was a good thing.

But today, everything is broken!

A whole new world opened up to her, and what she thought of might not be so precise yet.

But she knows that any force is two-way, she has to work hard!
