Chapter 2066

At the question and answer meeting, Her Majesty the Queen personally confirmed that the royal family will withdraw from the main stage of politics, which made many reporters who had been greeted in advance still feel a strong shock!

The failure of a war brought the royal family of Gefla to "destruction", which was unexpected by everyone.

Even those who knew some inside information in advance were deeply shocked at this time!
In fact, they saw the defeat as too simple.

Because this is not a simple defeat, not the kind of defeat where you sit at the negotiating table and say "we have failed".

The Gefra Navy was emptied, the island fell completely, and the army turned to the enemy. For the first time in thousands of years, people were not only beaten to their home, but also occupied here.

Isn't this brilliant record that can be written into the history of shame enough to make the royal family back down?

And, what was the country doing before the war broke out?
Internal friction.

The royal family and ministers, as well as those aristocratic groups, put almost all their energy on this aspect in order to fight for power and profit.

They didn't care at all about the outside world and what was going on, so much so that the war broke out for a long time.

The island is still attacking each other for who will be the master, and the Minister of War has turned to the enemy directly because of this!

Power has long been a myth in this country.

Nothing is possible without power.

If you can't change these things, you can't talk about changing Gafla, and the royal family, as a symbol of supreme power, was the first to withdraw from the political arena, which played a very important role.

The decentralization of power and the participation of more people in the rise and fall of the country are an inevitable and necessary part of the reform and revival of Gafla.

The new nominee reporter stood up and asked, "Does the royal retreat mean that 'noble hour' is about to begin?"

"If so, how is it different from the past?"

"Is it just to avoid the confrontation between the noble group and the royal family?"

Another one of his own, very official caliber.

Such a question is much simpler for Her Majesty the Queen who has already prepared.

She calmly answered according to the standard answer Lynch gave her, and mentioned the issue of direct election by voters.

"...The next biggest change we are trying to make is to delegate the power of appointing and dismissing the rulers to every Gefra voter."

"Gafla people, male or female, who have reached the age of 20 and have a decent job can have their own sacred vote."

"When the general election begins, voters who have votes will cast their key votes for the candidate he thinks is the most suitable."

"After the voting ends, the candidate with the most votes will become the next prime minister."

"The royal family and nobles can't manipulate the outcome. Every new prime minister must be the one the people hope for the most."

"We are trying to change everything in this way..."

Then someone did mention yesterday's "big riot".

The media referred to the group fights that occurred in many places last night as a "big riot". The reporter who asked the question made sufficient preparations and gave a set of statistics as soon as he came up.

For example, how many people were injured, how many people died, and what kind of serious economic losses and serious consequences were caused.

Her Majesty the Empress has not done any preview on this question. Although she had a general understanding during breakfast, it was still a little difficult for a 16-year-old girl to express some mature political opinions.

Lynch touched the microphone lightly with his hand, and the slight touch was broadcasted clearly through the speaker, and everyone's attention was focused on Lynch at once.

"I have learned about what happened last night through some channels, and the specific situation does not seem to be as serious as this reporter friend said."

"Next, we will proceed to restore the basic social order of the entire island, focusing on public security issues."

"Especially some vicious cases will be sentenced with the most severe results."

"I hope everyone can understand that in this very special period, don't make jokes with your own future and life."

"At the same time, I am here to urge those former armed rebels to register and accept inclusion as soon as possible with weapons."

"All factors that are not conducive to social stability and recovery will be erased!"

Lynch's speech was very hard, so hard that some people couldn't get used to it.

A reporter asked, "His Royal Highness, if someone commits a crime, will you kill him?"

"Even if he just committed a crime that wasn't a felony?"

The tone of the reporter who asked the question was somewhat unfriendly. For him and more Gefra people, Lynch is not a character that they can like.

Because Lynch is now regarded as the adoptive father of Her Majesty the Queen, and these still happened while the Queen was in exile in the Commonwealth.

In the words of some Gefra people, if this happened on this island, they would definitely not let Lynch become a guy who blasphemed the royal family!
And it's even more unlikely that it will actually happen!
So there are still many people who don't like Lynch. When he puts forward a tough point of view, there will naturally be people who fight back as if provocative.

Lynch didn't think about it, and said bluntly, "Gafla's main job at present is to restore the production of various industries as soon as possible, restore the destroyed industrial equipment, and rebuild the infrastructure of various places."

"Instead of using the money, manpower and energy used to get people's lives back on track, to wrestle with some criminals!"

"At this critical time, any crime, no matter how big or small, is a crime against the entire country."

"As long as you sin, you will not be forgiven!"

"Work, or die!"

"I gave you more choices!"

Lynch's words made the reporter who asked the question not know what to say.

In the end, I had to keep my mouth shut.

This is true.

In fact, after the aristocrats came back, many factories had already started recruiting workers, and with the imminent arrival of foreign capital, the whole society would start to operate by then.

At this time, you don't want to contribute to the country, but commit crimes everywhere?
This does not kill all criminals, it is the real crime.

After the meeting, Lynch's words quickly aroused some opposition in the society. Some people thought that his heart was too hard, and some people thought that his methods were too tyrannical.

Lynch felt miraculous about the state of mind of these people.

One second they were still obedient citizens under the rule of the Peng Jieao people, and the next second they were free, and then began to become fighters of free personality rights...

But regardless of their opposition, police departments everywhere are quickly restoring their working capacity.

Coupled with the fact that most of the first batch of criminals arrested were publicly executed, the social security problem was greatly improved immediately.

No matter how hard a person's mouth is, it cannot be as hard as a bullet, nor as hard as a human heart.

In the following time, Lynch also became extremely busy, and he had to be responsible for the establishment of the Blackstone Bank here.

The Gefla government-in-exile owes him billions of dollars in debt, and the money will not be repaid in a short time, and Lynch does not intend to let them repay it.

The establishment of the headquarters, the construction of the treasury, these are very important.

Secondly, it is to discuss the acquisition with Royal Bank.

At present, the equity of the Royal Bank is mainly concentrated in the hands of the aristocratic group. It is said that it is the Royal Bank, but in fact the royal family owns less than [-]% of the equity.

It was indeed an important financial institution of the royal family before, but with the rise of the old prime minister and the intensification of the Privy Council's penetration of the government, the Royal Bank has long been no longer the royal family's bank.

Now the bank is just an empty shell. After the vault was opened by the Penteo people, all valuables were removed, and the only thing left may be an old house that needs to be rebuilt.

However, it cannot be said that it is useless. The Royal Bank also has a very special subsidiary responsible for printing and issuing currency.

In other words, the Royal Bank is a bank with the right to issue currency, and this power is very concentrated, and it is the only bank qualified to issue currency.

So even if these people have nothing, they are still talking to Lynch, and hope to get more benefits from Lynch.

It's not easy for the little earl to intervene in this matter, after all, its meaning is too extraordinary!

Once he intervenes, it is very likely that someone will nail him to the pillar of shame like a traitor in the future.

The idea of ​​the nobles is to replace 15.00% of the shares of Blackstone Bank with 30.00% of the shares of the Royal Bank, which has nothing but the right to issue currency.

One for two, very good!

And even if Lynch gets 15.00% of the shares, it doesn't matter if he says when and how much additional shares will be issued.

Thinking about it this way, I suddenly felt that it was a bit of a loss. After all, Blackstone Bank itself is rich, even if it is the overseas branch of Gefra.

After two rounds of negotiations, no agreement was reached, and the room was filled with the bank's team.

Most people's opinion is that if the price is too high, there is no need to buy Royal Bank at all.

"Even if we get more than 30.00% of the equity, what we can do in the end is not up to us to decide."

"Once the prime minister's cabinet is dissatisfied with us, they can completely untie the currency issuance rights from the Royal Bank and split them from here."

"So Mr. Lynch, you'd better be mentally prepared for this."

"Secondly, do you really want the Royal Bank, or the distribution rights?"

The person who spoke was an old banker who had been engaged in private banking before. Later, Blackstone Bank developed rapidly, and Lynch also poached many people from the society.

Challenging the Big Six Banks has always been the common dream of all banks except the Big Six Banks. When Lynch proposed to become the seventh largest bank, he easily recruited some talents in private banking.

Lynch was actually thinking about this question, he looked at the consultant, "Do you have any suggestions?"

The old consultant nodded, "We can take these two things apart and choose one of them as the main direction of attack..."
