Chapter 2306

Lynch was also watching TV, watching Connor speak in public.

Many people came to the scene.

Federal people are very enthusiastic about elections, which is one of the reasons why federal current affairs programs always occupy prime time.

But unlike others who watched the show at home with their families, Lynch sat in Payne's campaign office to watch Connor's speech.

There are some other people around, members of the campaign team, and some politicians!
Since Connor showed an impactful performance on the position of president, some politicians took the initiative to become his helpers.

These people are just dormant now, but it won't be long before they will become cabinet members and be appointed by Connor to various important departments as the heads of departments.

Here is a very interesting point of knowledge, the daily work of each cabinet department is basically presided over by the deputy.

This has also led to some departments having a higher status and power than ministers, such as the former Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Those who attend all kinds of more practical meetings and work are the deputy ministers, and the only job of the minister is to play the role of dumb on important occasions!

When the president appoints a minister, the minister is primarily responsible for the direction of the work.

Unless they have a strong desire to control, most of the time they are only responsible for telling people "what our goals are" and not leading everyone to do it together!
These people were vaguely centered on Lynch and surrounded him.

Gladstone is not here.

Lynch heard that Connor had a big quarrel with him before he left Bupen, and the quarrel was very unpleasant.

The reason for the quarrel was the issue of the cabinet list.

Gladstone hopes to insert some of his staff into important departments of the federal government, such as the Security Council and the Ministry of Defense.

But Connor had his own ideas, and the two quarreled over it.

Gladstone felt that Connor was a villain, and when he got his selfless help and victory was in sight, he immediately abandoned him.

And Connor thinks that Gladstone's desire to control is too strong, he is not a puppet in Gladstone's hands, he has his own ideas, and he doesn't need others to teach him what to do!
It was destined to be an unhappy quarrel, but at this point, Gladstone had no chance to "change generals", so he could only admit it by pinching his nose.

These politicians around Lynch are more or less aware of the gap between the two "good brothers", and they simply side with Connor.

After all, after Connor wins the election, it is Connor, not Gladstone, who can determine their future.

Lynch watched Connor's passionate speech and smoked a cigarette.

That's what happens sometimes, when you suddenly feel like... wanting to grab a stick, or reward yourself.

This kind of desire is very inexplicable, maybe I was about to fall asleep a second ago, but suddenly I sat up...

As soon as he put the cigarette in his mouth, a lighter was lit and delivered to him.

He took a few puffs and leaned back on the sofa.

"Who wrote the manuscript?", he asked.

A gentleman who looked about 37 or [-] years old and wearing a pair of glasses stood up and raised his hand, "I... wrote it."

He seemed a little uneasy, Lynch smiled and motioned him to sit back, "The writing is very good, there is still room for improvement, add more content about Connor's personality."

"Although voters will learn about the political platform and governance philosophy of the presidential candidates, what motivates them to vote is more of their charisma."

"As long as he is very attractive in the eyes of the public, people will believe whatever he says!"

Connor is not a very strong president, so another personality must be established for him, just like the bowling president.

Everyone says he's a good guy, neither his allies nor his political enemies say he's a bad guy, a rotten guy.

Even if his scandal was exposed, everyone gave him a chance to resign decently, instead of forcing him to resign voluntarily or impeaching him.

Because he is a good old man, his image is very clear. For good people, good people who are not threatening, no one will target him so boringly.

The uneasiness on the face of the "youth" wearing glasses dissipated slowly. He was several years older than Lynch, but in front of Lynch, he felt like he was acting like a child!
You can't judge someone's ability by his actual age, it's easy to make mistakes!

After Lynch chatted with them for a while, he got up and left. He still had a reception to attend in the evening.

The future Secretary-General of the President's Office, that is, a young man wearing glasses, sent Lynch to the car, watched Lynch leave, and then returned to the room, continuing to watch Connor's public speech.

On the other side, Lynch's convoy passed through most of the city, and finally stopped outside a large quiet house in the suburbs.

This is not a manor, but a detached, large house with a garden.

It was much larger than a villa, but it looked much shabby compared to a real manor.

So it's one big house!

There are already many vehicles outside the big house, and almost all of them have federal military plates!
If anyone knows anything about the military plates of the Federation, they will find that they are all license plates of the South Central Army Military District.

Lynch changed into a suit of clothes. It was very hot in the room, so he changed into light casual clothes.

Today's reception, banquet, is not a serious one.

It's actually more like... a kind of thing that Mr. Truman was most afraid of, a kind of transaction, a kind of adultery!
When the staff opened the door of the hall, a row of officers appeared in front of Lynch.

"Mr. Lynch..."

Everyone greeted Lynch, and Lynch also greeted others warmly.

"Originally we should have met last month, but this time the rectification of the Central and Southern Military Region has been carried out very deeply, so our work was completely completed yesterday..."

The person who spoke was Mr. Colonel from the Northern Military Region, whom he met with Lynch last time.

And those behind him are all officers from the Northern Military Region!
From brigadier generals to lieutenants, many people came!
Lynch shook hands with him and nodded.

If the Ministry of National Defense wants to try to control the Central-South Military Region, it must completely smash the original officer system.

A large number of mid-level officers from the north were assigned to the most grass-roots corners, and they were changed from top to bottom.

But there were no generals from the north or other regions mobilized here, and all the generals who were mobilized here were from the Ministry of National Defense.

In this way, middle-level officers do not have a mountain to rely on, and the Ministry of National Defense will have much stronger control over the military.

But this is also convenient for Lynch.

If there was a lieutenant general or an admiral, then these people would not be so enthusiastic about approaching him.

They are coming closer now, hoping to find a force here to support their work and support them to continue to climb!
The relationship between Lynch and Austin also indirectly gave him the opportunity to get in touch with these army backbones who are in a state of duckweed from the north.

Next, the colonel began to introduce Lynch from high to low to the officers who came to accept Lynch's "feast" today.

Brigadier General, Colonel, Lieutenant Colonel, Major, Captain, Lieutenant...

There were more than 40 people, and many people were temporarily unable to make it because they were transferred to other military bases.

But the colonel said that when they have a vacation, they will come to visit Lynch together!
As the organizer of the banquet, Lynch must say something.

He stood on the stairs from the hall to the second floor, a few steps higher than the others, and all eyes were on him.

"Austin, one of my favorites."

"I know some people might think it's funny and shame on me that there's still a 'one' because of the love I love."

"But I don't think it's funny. We have given our sincerity to each other in getting along, and that's enough!"

"I tried to keep her by my side, and she told me that the people on the front lines were calling her, the comrades on the front lines were calling her, that was the call of duty!"

"She knew it was dangerous to go to the front line, we all knew that."

"But she went anyway, and stayed there forever!"

"This is a soldier who gives everything for the country and the people!"

"This kind of noble spirit and personality is worthy of respect and learning from each of us!"

"I don't comment on the actions of Peleus and his family. They are tarnishing the image of soldiers in the eyes of the federal people."

"But fortunately, you are here!"

"This is not the north, you may feel strange and uncomfortable."

"But it doesn't matter, you are Austin's family, just like my family."

"If you have any problems that cannot be solved, you can come to me."

"Regardless of whether Connor wins the election or not, the next Minister of Defense will be a very good friend of mine."

"If you can't solve the problem, I can try to help you solve it."

"Today, here, on behalf of Austin, I receive her comrades-in-arms, brothers and family members!"

"I hope that what you feel here is the warmth of home, not restraint!"

"Then next..." He glanced at the colonel, "...have fun!"

The music suddenly sounded, and a large group of girls ran out from all corners. The chefs pushed the dining carts full of food, and filled the sheets with sheets of high-end foods that they had never seen before. table!
Alcohol, cigarettes, the smell of food, and the smell of hormones!

At the beginning, many officers were uncomfortable, but the enthusiasm of the girls resolved their embarrassment.

The brigadier general and several colonels knew they were here, and the boys obviously couldn't let go.

After a few instructions, they entered another room with Lynch.

Everyone sat on the sofa, no music, no other noise, some coffee, wine, and pastries on the table.

In addition, beside the sofa where Lynch was sitting, there were ten suitcases...
