Chapter 2136

The weather is getting a little cooler, which means winter is coming.

After entering October, the temperature dropped very quickly. The global freezing situation has been going on for several years, and there has been no relief until now.

The experts on the TV were sitting on the sofa talking about the coming of the Ice Age, worried but smiling about the future of human beings and other creatures.

The end of the world seems to be right around the corner, but people have long been frightened into numbness by these terrifying concepts.

People were still worried at first, and there were many times more people going to church than before.

Now that people are numb, they no longer go to church for comfort, but work hard to make more heating when the weather is cold.

On the weekend, there was another party. The protagonists of the party were Lynch, the President of the Senate of the Federal Congress, and his confidants.

If wealth is water and people are canals, then politics is the controller that connects these canals and allows who can pass through.

The transfer of interests has never been a simple matter, and there are many other capitalists behind the Speaker supporting him.

They get a lot of help through the speaker's influence on Congress, most of which are more important than wealth!
For example, last year, the Congress passed the amendment to the pollution discharge level planning, which made the assessment of the "pollution level" that was not clearly defined in the first place more clearly divided.

This seems to be a good thing. At least there are clear distinctions and treatment methods for trace pollution, light pollution, moderate pollution and severe pollution.

But in fact, this is driven by big capital, and its purpose is not to cause trouble for oneself.

Instead, through the division of emission pollution, the factories that originally need to be relocated remain in place, and then reduce pollutant emissions through a small amount of investment.

Their approach is to turn the pollutants discharged through one pipeline into multiple pipelines and discharge them to different areas.

In this way, for example, mild to moderate pollution in five regions is definitely better than heavy pollution in one region.

In this way, the investment is small and the effect is good, and it is suitable for many enterprises with serious industrial pollution.

After the Speaker has done these things, those people will naturally express their opinions, and everyone involved will be able to share the benefits. This is the truest aspect of benefits and benefit transfer.

Now the Speaker himself plans to change places, but his confidants cannot leave for the time being. They have to find a new "beacon", so they have such a small-scale gathering.

And the senators' vote on the candidate speaker is also critical, and they must be foolproof.

In case the speaker submits his resignation report and announces the list of candidates, and someone sneaks away to pick the fruits of victory, it will be too much trouble!

The youngest people who come here are all in their 40s, except for Lynch.

But Lynch's young face will not make the gentlemen here feel that he is unreliable. On the contrary, when everyone sees Lynch, their expression quickly changes from stunned to enthusiasm full of joy.

They shook hands with Lynch and talked to Lynch. Before the Speaker expressed his true thoughts, they simply thought that the Speaker and Lynch were on the line.

This is simply awesome!

Lynch not only has money, but also resources!
People came very quickly and everyone was very punctual. After they briefly chatted about recent events, they put on protective gear with the help of the staff and were reminded how to use the shotgun.

In fact, most politicians use shotguns, especially high-level politicians.

There are presidents who like golf, there are presidents who like bowling, and there are presidents who like hunting!

And a good portion of the president is from the Senate, so it's not hard to imagine that when there's a guy with huge influence and high status who likes to hunt, everyone will have such a hobby.

"This is my first time to experience aristocratic hunting. To be honest, I'm a little nervous!" Although the speaker was older, he also participated in the event.

If he doesn't hunt those big prey, he doesn't need to use large-caliber weapons.

Small-caliber shotguns used for hunting rabbits and the like do not have strong recoil.

After all, the purpose of hunting is to eat the prey, not smash the prey into pieces with a dozen steel balls!

Others also agreed that the hunting ground fenced by the Gefra people only allowed nobles to enter, and it was not open to the public. It was a private place.

Although many Gefra nobles have returned to Gefra Island, the properties here have not been sold or given up.

They also realized the fragility of Gefraben Island, and if war broke out in the future, they could evacuate here in advance.

All properties are managed by people, but no one else is welcome except Lynch.

Lin Qi smiled and said nothing, introducing everything here.

"About [-] neutered rabbits are released here every season..."

The first sentence he spoke was interrupted by the speaker's curiosity, "Why do you need to sterilize them?"

The person in charge of the hunting ground next to him continued, "Sir, if you don't sterilize the rabbits, it will only take a year. There are rabbits everywhere!"

The reproductive capacity of rabbits is terrible, rivaling that of mice.

Then Lynch continued to introduce, "In addition, there are about two deer groups, two wolf groups, federal lions, brown bears..."

People kept making slight exclamations to show their respect for the size of the hunting ground. After all, the price of buying so many things is not cheap, and they have to be kept here.

And every quarter, a large amount of expenses will be invested to maintain the number among the various groups and ensure their food.

The purpose of doing this is not to create a nature reserve, but just to let the nobles have fun in hunting.

The hunting process was as perfect as every hunting. The hunters in the hunting ground surrounded the prey and let them appear in front of the main team, and then they were shot and killed by everyone.

The hunters will peel the skin and take the meat on the spot, which is bloody, but it gives people a very special sense of refreshment.

The hunt lasted until the afternoon, and everyone rested for a while in the rest area of ​​the hunting ground, and gathered together again in the evening.

Those game meats taste great after being carefully cooked by the chefs, and the fresh ingredients are something you can’t experience outside!
No matter how big a restaurant or hotel is, their ingredients are not so fresh.

And here, it is absolutely fresh.

After the cooks finished performing their special skills, they were the only ones left in the entire dining camp.

Other hunters scattered around and began to be alert, and the light at night would attract the surrounding animals.

Phototaxis is forever engraved in the soul of a creature and cannot be dispelled.

"I talked to Lynch and I plan to submit my resignation letter to Congress next year."

The speaker's first words at the dinner table caused some commotion among the diners around.

He looked at these people and raised his hand to silence them, "Don't worry too much about my problems after I leave, that's why we're sitting here today."

He looked at the team leader, "I talked to Mr. Lynch, and then he will promote the team leader to become a candidate and then vote. He is his own."

"I hope you can give him the ticket..."

Instead of agreeing immediately, people began to think.

This is the most common scene in Congress. The camp cannot be changed, but the position can change anytime and anywhere!

They are thinking about the advantages and disadvantages of the team leader coming to power, and how they can maximize their interests——

Once the Speaker resigns, the votes in each of their hands will become very valuable!

The Senate is not the House of Representatives. There are so many people in the House of Representatives, and multiple votes of one or two have little impact on the result. It is rare for one or two votes to determine the outcome.

If there is, then there must be something bad doing bad things!

But in the Senate, there are only forty or so seats. To become a candidate, you must have certain supporters, otherwise you will not even pass the initial threshold.

And this also means that the Senate President's vote is either a big lead, or a gap of two or three votes!

A has one more vote and B has one less vote. The gap between them increases by two votes!
Therefore, the number of votes held by everyone can make it more valuable in some ways!
The reason why they can stand firmly on the side of the Speaker before he retires is because the Speaker's dominance and influence over Congress are unmatched by anyone.

But once he retires, he loses the ground that made these men steadfast, and it's not surprising that they're vacillating now.

At this time, someone asked, "... (Speaker), do you have any plans for your work after resignation?"

This sentence seems to be concerned about the speaker's future work and life situation. In fact, the purpose of his asking this question is to continuously weigh the pros and cons.

If the Speaker retires directly, their position will become more in line with their interests.

If the Speaker has follow-up measures, they may still be his confidants.

The speaker, team leader, Lynch, and others all know this, the politicians of the Federation are more direct than the female cousins!
The Speaker smiled and nodded, "The Katherine State Government has set up an advisory group, which will largely influence the regulations and policies of the state government and the region."

Lynch also joined in at this time, "Although Catherine and the professor have experience in government work, they lack administrative work experience at the state government level."

"Considering that Slem has become the focus of the world's attention, we need to add some measures so that the local government will not have any unexpected accidents!"

"There is a need for an advisory group that will run parallel to the regional councils."

Lynch didn't talk about it in depth. Giving more power to the advisory group is actually a check and balance on the parliament.

But these are actually superficial. For Lynch, the industry committee is the most critical one.

Therefore, no matter how much power other structural organizations gain, it will not affect his ability to control Slem.

Hearing what the Speaker and Lynch said, everyone's minds changed again...
