Chapter 2291

As soon as he heard the name "Gladstone", Connor seemed not so happy.

He used to like people to discuss him and Gladstone together. They were good friends and brothers!

But now, he doesn't like this!

Some outsiders always think that he is in a dominant position in this friendship. In other words, Gladstone promoted him to become president just to indirectly consolidate his power.

Not because they're friends, or because of how good and capable Connor is himself.

He doesn't like the argument, it's like he's a piece of shit, and Gladstone, who made a piece of shit president, is the best.

In addition, Gladstone always loses his temper inexplicably when talking to him now, so Connor suddenly becomes a little resistant to Gladstone as his good friend.

The two have not fallen out yet, and they will appear together in the newspaper headlines when it is time to show their intimate side.

However, after the general election is over and the results come out, there may be some changes in their relationship.

Gladstone's desire to control is too strong, and Connor is not really the kind of person who is at the mercy of others, this is their inevitable end!

It's Lynch's credit for not wanting Gladstone and Connor to remain very close all the time.

One is the chairman of the Progressive Party committee and the other is the very likely federal president.

If their relationship is very close and reliable, both parties will strengthen their dominance in their own fields.

Gladstone's control of the Progressive Party would improve, allowing Connor to take control of the federal government earlier, rather than having to wait for re-election.

But this is of no benefit to Lynch. They are in a group, and if they don't give outsiders a chance, Lynch won't be able to make Connor his own.

Only when their relationship broke down and Connor couldn't get unconditional support from the Progressive Party, would he look for supporters from the outside world again.

Sending news to Connor, but not to Gladstone, will make people like Gladstone who have a strong desire to control have a sense of crisis that "things are getting out of control".

So dissatisfied with Connor.

From the current point of view, this kind of moistening and silent separation is still very useful.

So much so that Connor plans to give the eight new states the right to vote for people who are not federal citizens!
He was wary of Gladstone, and he was also making preparations, but in Lynch's view, it was unnecessary.

Gladstone had invested so much in him that it was too late to make a substitution.

Once he gives up on Connor, it means that all the political resources previously invested, which can reach more than [-] million, will be wasted.

Those political speculators will not be satisfied, and the capitalists who spent their money will not be satisfied.

Because re-selecting people means they have to spend a lot of money again, and they may not get the results they want!

Now they can barely maintain the status quo.

Connor shook his head, did not continue on this issue, but took the initiative to have a drink with Lynch, and then walked towards His Excellency the Lieutenant General.

He has to chat with the Lieutenant General. The overseas military regions have a lot of power. Although they can't play a big role in the election, they can bring him some benefits in terms of rights.

Blood flowed like rivers in the west of the central part, but here is like a peaceful and prosperous age. The red wine in the glass is as bright as blood. This is the Federation!

Gunpowder is always the best appetizer for power!
The situation in Nagalil is in the process of calming down, and the Peleus family is also facing a heavy price.

After a four-month trial, the sex scandal case finally came to an end under the gavel of the lifelong justice.

More than [-] officers and soldiers at all levels of the Federal Central-South Military District and the Eastern Naval District were punished.

Among the more than 70 school officials, four will be executed, while the others will basically have been sentenced to more than six years, and many of them will be sentenced to death in prison.

The backbone of the Peleus family in these two major military regions has been cut down, and they have almost completely lost control of the middle and lower ranks of the army!

It is no longer easy for them to make up for this loss.

More importantly, there are countless pairs of eyes on the appointment of officers in the army. If there is any problem, it will immediately arouse public opinion.

Even though the Peleus family still maintains a lot of control among the generals, but only the generals, lacking the effectiveness of the middle and lower ranks, they can be said to have broken their spines.

After the disposal results came out in early September, public opinion gave an extremely positive response. At the same time, some media raised a more acute question——

"Is the army the army of the Federation, or the army of a certain family?"

After such a sensitive issue is thrown out, it can be said that it will directly hurt the wound!
Judging from the context of the officers who were punished, almost all of them were members of the interest group with the Peleus family as the core.

Moreover, senior military officials are not only involved in sex scandals, but also in corruption cases.

Unlike the previous sex scandal where Jaina only sued the military, this time the finger is directed at the Peleus family!

Mr. Wardrick said in public that the current federal military has become very dangerous.

The two most important military regions are firmly controlled by a family. They can become warlords anytime and anywhere and form a federal military government!

Why did Mariello, a once glorious country, decline?
After all, wasn’t it caused by warlord melee?
If the federal military is still controlled by a few people or a certain family, then the federation will have no future and will lose its crown as the world's number one!
This is a very severe accusation, and not everyone dares to do it, after all, the target of the attack is the military.

But Mr Wardrick wasn't afraid.

He is a celebrity, and Ankerk Industry is now considered a large-scale military industry, involving multiple fields and industries in the military and civilian industries.

Even if he didn't say this, the South Central Military District and the Eastern Naval Military District would not purchase his products.

So it's even easier for him to criticize publicly.

Connor, who then returned to the Federation from Nagalil, also publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with the federal military system, but his expression was very reserved.

Five years ago, bashing the military was the correct political line, as much as people liked and wanted to see the federal government bashed.

Most federal people who have been brainwashed by freedom and justice always have some dissatisfaction, fear, and aversion derived from fear towards the military as a violent institution.

His dissatisfaction fits the worries of some voters, the military government, shady, conspiracy, the truth!

There will always be people who will spontaneously support these arguments!

They solved the sex scandal case as quickly as possible, but they didn't expect that the matter was not over yet.

In early and mid-September, Lynch also returned to the Federation.

The Nagalil parade was completely calmed down, and more than 60 Nagalil rioters were executed.

For the Nagalilians, who have a population of [-] million, this is actually nothing at all.

The social order has returned to stability, and people seem to have little emotion other than the fear buried deep in their hearts.

As for the establishment of overseas military regions...

No one connected it with the parade. Maybe a very few people had a flash of inspiration that made them doubt whether these things were connected.

But they will soon deny themselves. After all, it is not practical to create so much trouble for overseas partitions and there is no room for maneuver.

Two days after returning to the Federation, Peleus asked Lynch to have a chat, and Lynch did not object.

The location was chosen in a restaurant on the second floor of the Bupen Hotel. Before arriving, Lynch's people checked this floor back and forth several times.

The surrounding commanding heights were also arranged for people to watch, and the curtains were drawn.

"You're very timid!" Peleus sat across the table and mocked Lynch.

Lin Qi took out a cigarette and lit it indifferently. He nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, I am quite afraid of death."

Peleus laughed dumbfounded, "Why didn't I see it before?"

Lynch also said with a smile, "You never thought of killing me before."

This sentence was very meaningful. Peleus looked at Lynch and pointed, "You can see that I want to kill you now?"

Lynch nodded again, "You want me dead more than anyone else, because you know you made a fatal mistake."

Peleus frowned. "What mistake did I make?"

Lynch took one out of the cigarette case and handed it over, "Do you want it?"

Peleus shook his head, "Thank you, I have it myself."

Lynch put the cigarette back into the case, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled, "The mistake you made was that you offended me, but you didn't kill me all at once."

"So you should be very sorry, you want to make up for your mistakes, so you really want to kill me."

Peleus seldom smoked, so he took out a pack of cigarettes, the shells of which were deformed, and he had bought them in July.

He doesn't have any addiction to smoking, and he basically doesn't smoke at ordinary times, so when he smokes, he will feel slightly drunk as if he was drunk.

This is what nicotine does.

When he is irritable, he will smoke one.

The two smoked and looked at each other. After more than a minute, Peleus asked softly, "What is in that letter?"

Lynch asked, "Would you believe me if I said he didn't leave me anything?"

Peleus smiled, apparently not believing it.

The two returned to silence again. This time he came to Lynch, hoping to solve all the problems through communication.

But obviously, that's unlikely.

He made one last attempt, "Give me that letter, and I'll give you my share, and that's all."

Lynch continued to shake his head, "I said, I didn't, but you don't believe me."

Peleus looked at Lynch disappointed, his sleeves began to bulge, which indicated that his forearm was exerting strength.

Lin Qi said that he was afraid of death, but at this time he showed no fear at all.

Absolute strength does not refer to physical strength.

No matter how powerful the physical body is, it is only ordinary power.

No matter how strong Peleus was, he didn't dare to really do anything to Lynch at this moment.

Two minutes later, Peleus squeezed out the cigarette butt in his hand, then got up, "It seems that we don't need to talk anymore..."
