Chapter 2153

Being an official in a remote area is different from being an official in a foreign country, and Joker is a little hesitant.

The victory of the Federation in war and economy has made many Federation people start to swell.

If placed in the Great Depression, Jock would not think this was a bad choice.

But in today's Federation, he doesn't think this is a good choice.

Marillo is poor and broke, and to put it more directly, he has no chance of finding any benefits.

You can't expect those local "rich people" who only have tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands to spend a lot of money for you.

Moreover, almost all the local wealthy people have a background of warlords, you take money from warlords...

Not quite right?

Coupled with the current situation of Mariro, the whole of Mariro is like a mud pit, and he will be deeply trapped in it, unable to extricate himself.

Lynch got up and sat next to him, putting his arms around his shoulders, holding a wine glass in the other hand, "Joe, listen to me."

"I know your concerns. You will feel that there is a backwardness there, and there is nothing for you to show your abilities."

"But sometimes we have to learn to think in reverse."

"Have you seen those Mariro people outside?" Jock nodded, and Lynch had introduced them just now.

"These people will be your colleagues in the future. I can't say how much I can control it, but I can assure you that at least Mariro will not escape my control."

"You can have fun doing it there. If you don't like being disturbed by busy government affairs, you can find something to do for yourself every day."

"If you like to do something practical, there are so many opportunities out there for you."

"Poor people, areas waiting to be rebuilt, employment rates..."

"And your annual income will be higher than now, don't forget, when you go further, you will get more!"

"I can't promise you much else, but at least within six years, your position will not be shaken."

"When there are other good places in the country, I will help you find a way!"

Lynch squeezed his shoulder, "So I wronged you for the time being."

Jock reacted quickly, picked up the wine glass quickly, and clinked the glass with Lynch very humbly, "I'm not wronged, I was thinking too much."

After drinking, it naturally meant that he agreed with Lynch's decision.

In fact, the real situation is indeed the same. There are only a dozen states in the country, and each state is completely impermeable by parties and local forces.

The Socialist Party has been twittering and tossing for a while, but it hasn't even won a single state, and it hasn't even won an additional Senate seat.

From this you can imagine how difficult these things are!
This is not just a question of whether the candidate is good enough, it is related to how much money the candidate has, how many relationships he can open up, and how many people are willing to support him conditionally or unconditionally!

Candidates must win not only a majority in the state legislature, but also a majority of the governor and party committees.

Coupled with the pressure on the opponent, disintegrate the opponent's camp...

The cost of entering the Senate may not be much easier than being elected president, and it may not cost that much money, but it is definitely not easy!
Instead of spending millions to gamble on an uncertain result, you have to put aside your personal connections and owe others favors.

Why don't you just go to a place where there is no competition, where the members of Congress are not masters?

Many people don't understand this truth, and by the time they figure it out, it's too late.

After solving Joker's problem, Lynch took them to join in the new activity. Everyone had enough food and drink, and there must be some entertainment.

Bu Paine's evenings are so glamorous that it would be absolutely criminal to waste them on dull work.

The friends from Marillo were the first to come into contact with these luxurious nightlife.

There are beautiful women in Mariello, but not many, and the harsh environment will not make women pay attention to their appearance.

The more beautiful it is, the more miserable it will be in Mariro. In that world with almost no laws, it will either die in a certain alley or behind the grass.

Or it will be dedicated to the warlord, and rewarded to his loyal subordinates after the novelty of the warlord passes.

So when they looked at the girls who were so beautiful that it made people tremble, they contained themselves tenderly, and when they offered services that could not be expressed in words, everyone sighed more or less——

It would be great if it could continue like this!
And this also accelerated their decision to offer their loyalty to Lynch.

In late October, Senator Landon, the core figure of the York Gang, submitted a proposal to the Senate on the re-planning of the Mariro administrative area.

The proposal states that although the society in Mariro is stable at present, the racial antagonism between the Mariro and the Mallori, as well as their own rejection of foreign races, cannot be ignored.

He took out a detailed information and recorded some specific data. Nearly more than 60.00% of the Mariro people said in the survey that they are more willing to accept the leadership of the Mariro people.

Compared with this view, they are less willing to accept the leadership of the Federals directly to Marillo, and only 17.00% of them choose to agree.

Of the other 80.00% three, 40.00% nine chose to abstain, and 30.00% four chose to oppose.

"...Based on the above survey data and our long-term observation of the social environment in Mariro, I believe that when re-planning the administrative area of ​​Mariro, a certain number of Mariro locals should be hired to take certain important positions in government agencies."

"In order to alleviate the restlessness of the people of Maliro, and create a stable and orderly social environment for the subsequent reconstruction of Maliro."

"When the Mariroans start to accept federal assistance more actively, we will gradually reduce the proportion of Mariroans in local government agencies..."

It is not a day or two before the federal government, in fact, Congress wants to annex Mariello.

The expansion of the Federation not only brought about an increase in land area, a change in the population, but also an increase in various benefits.

For any ruling group, these are fatal attractions.

The members of the Senate read Senator Langdon's proposal very carefully, and there were some things they disagreed with, such as the selection of Mariroan officials on a 50.00% to 50.00% basis.

Some felt that it was enough to leave the grassroots work to Mariroan officials.

In this way, the people and society will first face the Mariro people, and they will have the illusion that "we are still us".

However, Senator Langdon quickly refuted it. He thought that if there were not a certain number of high-ranking Mariello officials in the local government.

Once antagonism is incited by some anti-federal interest organizations with ulterior motives, it is likely to cause unnecessary trouble.

It's better to give them some official positions, and the actual control over Mariro is still in their own hands.

Then someone asked the question——

"How can you be sure that these elected high-ranking Malilou officials will be on our side and not on the side of the Maliro people?"

This is a very important question, for which Senator Langdon also expressed his thoughts.

"We can choose some celebrities, politicians who have a high reputation in Mariro, but have been completely disappointed with the Mariro government, to work for us."

"We can give them everything they want, including realizing some of their ideals and aspirations to some extent."

"For example, let Mariro become rich and powerful..."

Senator Langdon spoke very carefully. During his statement, the Speaker asked for today's meeting minutes to be added to the confidential file.

At that time, there will be a lot of smears on the minutes, because some of Senator Langdon's words are too fruity.

The Federation really wants to swallow Mariro, but this kind of thing can't be said, it can only be done.

It would be best if the Mariro people offered to join the federation, and after the federation refused repeatedly, they reluctantly let them join the big family of the federation.

So everything about direct descriptions has to be blacked out so it doesn't turn into a scandal in the future.

But I have to say that Lynch is indeed shameless, but also very likable.

No one will think that this is Senator Langdon's own idea, and it is often Lynch's idea behind his voice.

Lynch rarely speaks in Congress through Senator Landon, but every time he speaks, it is difficult for people to refuse.

People also think of the fact that he attended the wedding of the young president and became friends with the young president.

As for his desire to have more say in Congress, there is less fuss than the annexation of Marillo.

After all, his influence on Congress will indeed increase by then, but Congress will also have more seats.

And the biggest difference between Lynch and the Duncan family is that he seldom interferes with the running of Congress.

His influence on Congress is more peaceful, and he hardly feels that he has any influence at ordinary times, and people will not encounter some problems at work because of him.

This proposal was not passed immediately, which is also customary.

Few proposals will pass unanimously the first time, which is not in line with the principles of Congress, and they will hold one or two hearings.

Go and hear what Marillos really think before deciding whether to vote.

This is actually very stupid, because the selected Marillo witnesses were all provided by Lynch.

But... who cares?
All they have to do is a process, a set of procedures!
This proposal did not cause much disturbance in the Federation, and ordinary people were not very interested in "foreign" things like Marillo.

All their attention was focused on Slem's God of Gamblers Tournament!

Gambling masters from all over the world compete together, plus professional commentators, even those who have never participated in games are deeply attracted by these programs.

And now, it is almost time to decide the final spot.

The name of the God of Gamblers, the psychological game that was directly reflected, and the huge bonus, the ratings of all the broadcasts remained high.

There is also a general perception within the TV industry - Lynch is omnipotent!
