Chapter 2120

Members of Congress are actually no different from the president or other politicians.

As a new senator who entered Congress, there must be cooperation from many forces behind him, and it will cost a lot of money to promote this matter.

Therefore, the people behind these senators often have relatively clear political demands at the beginning.

For example, when Lynch pushed Senator Landon into Congress, there would be some requirements.

For example, how to decide when encountering a problem, for example, when to help Lynch push for the passage of a proposal, etc., for example, the simplest thing is to speak out for something.

This is the purpose of most capitalists. They must have someone with enough weight to support them, so that they can live so well in the Federation.

Only through power and political means can we cover up many ugliness and even crimes!
At this stage, it is very difficult to win over these new congressmen, and it is not in vain that they have spent so much money.

Only after waiting for two or four years, when the cost of investment has been doubled, and the relationship between the two parties changes from similar to "employment" to "cooperation", will their positions become relatively neutral and can be wooed .

The team leader's worry is justified. Once there are some new faces in Congress, he can't persuade them to stand on his side.

People themselves represent certain groups, so how could they mess up as soon as they come up?
If they act recklessly, they won't stay in Congress for long, and any trivial matter can make them step down!

This is the rule that will not be written in the book, not announced to the public, the rule of convention!

After hearing this, Lin Qi also agreed, "So you already have a plan?"

The team leader nodded, "Actually, my idea is to start from the speaker's side."

"He is very old, and he himself knows that he must step down after working for at most two years."

"He's been Speaker for a long time and the stage can't be held by everyone forever."

"If he waits for the natural defeat, he will not get any benefits."

"But if we discuss it with him, he can nominate me in advance."

"He also has a group of people himself, as well as your York gang, and I have a few good friends."

"If you can support me, I can convince more people, and we can solve it in two or three rounds at most!"

The election of the Speaker cannot be done at once. It is also a direct election method and requires the consent of more than half of the seats.

These three parties add up to about thirty to forty percent. As long as a trend is formed, the rest is behind-the-scenes transactions.

Just like the Gladstone election, once the general trend prevails, some initially staunch opponents will change their positions.

As long as they give enough, they can give up their previous position.

But there is a key to this, and that is to give them what they want.

Lynch's support is indispensable here, because Lynch is very rich and influential.

He can interfere with the decisions of the presidential palace, which is also attractive to many politicians.

Lynch thought it sounded good. The essence of politics is compromise and transaction, not confrontation!
Politicians with opposing positions can completely abandon confrontation and cooperate directly as long as they have the right conditions.

Don’t think it’s shameful that politicians don’t have a position, because the swing angle of their position has been ridiculously wide from the very beginning!

He thought for a while and nodded slightly, "There is no problem with this matter. I will fully support you!"

The team leader showed a happy smile, "Don't worry, Lynch, you know that I am a person who knows how to be grateful."

"Let's not talk about hypocrisy. If I become the speaker, I will support you in Congress as long as it does not harm my interests!"

Lynch asked with a half-smile, "Including allowing women to enter the Senate?"

The team leader was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said yes, "As long as there are not too many people's clear objections, I will stand by your side."

It's honest, but he's also expressing a negative point of view.

Because now the majority of Congress, even the vast majority of senators, are not willing for women to tarnish the sacred Congress!

Letting professors join local councils is already their biggest concession. If professors are allowed to join Congress again, it will be the greatest humiliation to Congress!

There should be no women here, at least not now!
So what the team leader said was a piece of nonsense in the current situation, but this nonsense left some room for manipulation.

This is also in line with what his identity says, which is full of deceit and traps, but still retains some leeway.

After a brief pause to let the topic pass, Lynch asked, "So what are you going to do next?"

The team leader obviously has a comprehensive plan, "I will contact the speaker, and then we will sit down and talk."

To get the speaker to nod to cooperate with them, it is natural to need the transfer of interests.

There is no one who can be more suitable than Lynch, the gold-lettered signboard. He stands there, even if he does nothing, he is a golden existence!

Many people, especially young people, already regard Lynch and wealth as the same thing!
They think that maybe Lynch is the richest person in the world, not one of them!

Lynch nodded to agree to participate in this small gathering. The team leader seemed very motivated, "I'll contact him first, and I will give you the time and address..."

After seeing off the team leader, Lynch called Senator Langdon and asked him to come over.

Now the York Gang has six senators. It seems that this is a very dynamic organization with a certain voice.

Senator Langdon's status also became higher and higher as the York Gang continued to expand.

Now if the governor of York State wants to replace Senator Langdon, the first thing he will face is political revenge from Senator Langdon and the York Gang.

At the same time, Lynch will not give him a good life, so as long as Lynch does not speak, Senator Langdon himself will not say that he needs to rest.

The governor and the state assembly don't dare mess around with the list, and this also explains why when someone is kicked off the list, it means they have been given up!

Lynch chatted with him about the President of the Senate, and also talked about the idea of ​​​​drawing the team leader to the York Gang.

"I think it would be better for us to be in a cooperative relationship!" After listening to Lynch's thoughts, Senator Langdon gave his own suggestion.

"You know, the people in the York Gang these days are basically the kind of people who don't have a prominent background, and that kind of background makes us get along very well."

"The team leader is different from us. He has a prominent background and a wide network of contacts. To put it in some not-so-nice words, he is like an aristocrat in the Congress, while we are commoners!"

"You pull him in, he won't feel very comfortable, and we will become uncomfortable!"

Yes, it is indeed a bit torturing for a nobleman to mix with a group of mud dogs. Lynch nodded slightly to express his understanding.

His understanding of Congress is not so thorough, after all, his energy is put on other things.

He then talked about several states that were about to expand. In short, the York Gang was bound to expand, and Lynch’s plan was to have at least ten senators!
This is also good news for Senator Langdon. As the York Gang grows, as the absolute core figure, he will have higher status and power, whether inside or outside Congress.

The Congress obviously does not directly participate in the government's local administrative work, but it still has extraordinary influence.

After chatting with Senator Langdon about things in Congress for a while and listening to him tell some interesting little news about Congress, Lynch asked him to leave.

He needs to know about this, because the York Gang will also need the cooperation, and Senator Langdon is very useful.

He is very knowledgeable about current affairs and knows that he is nothing without Lynch, so he has never considered it, let alone done anything to harm Lynch's interests.

Naturally, Lynch is also willing to give some acceptance and recognition to such a loyal person, and respect is mutual.

After dinner that night, Lynch found an opera house and opened a box.

He actually doesn't like to listen to opera, because to understand opera, you must first understand the whole story.

If you want to fully understand the content of the opera, you need to read the book, the libretto and the original story of the opera. This is not a simple matter.

This is also the main reason why there are more and more movie theaters but fewer opera houses!

Now in this impetuous society, people just want to let themselves have fun without thinking for an hour or two, instead of learning the content of opera!
Lin Qi came here to meet with the Director-General.

After he looked at it for a while, the director general came in from outside the box, "I hope I'm not too late."

Lynch asked him to sit down. After hanging his hat on the hanger, he sat down next to Lynch.

As soon as he sat down, the smell of cigarettes came out from his body. It could be seen that he had smoked a lot in a relatively closed environment before.

It is also possible that many people are smoking together.

He immediately began to explain why he was late, "I had a meeting at night, and it took a long time."

"Recently, a serial killer appeared in Bu Paine, which made us very troubled, and the public opinion was very violent..."

Lynch had just come back and hadn’t heard of it yet, “Is it dangerous?”

The Director-General lit up another cigarette, "It's dangerous for single women, but for men, it's not dangerous as long as they're prepared."

"He didn't use a hot weapon as a killing tool, he only used a dagger, and he only targeted women."

"With six dead so far, this bastard is starting to take on a personal style of his own."

"If you can't catch him anymore, it's very likely that he will hide..."

In this era and in this social environment, the federal crime detection rate is actually not as high as imagined.

Many serial murder cases have not been solved until now, especially some cases were only solved after the murderer voluntarily surrendered to the crime.

Firstly, it is because the means of investigation are limited, and secondly, it is also related to procedural justice.

Sometimes you know that some people are very suspect, but you are missing some key information, and the judicial department will not let you go through the process.

This wasted time and allowed the murderer to calmly process the scene and even some post-murder information.

After hearing this, Lin Qi felt a little emotional, "I will donate 10 yuan later..."
