Chapter 2362

The weather was good at first, and it has warmed up to around zero. As a result, there was another heavy snowfall last night without any warning.

When I got up in the morning, the snowplow had already gone back and forth twice, and the snow piles piled up on the side of the road, blackened by sewage, looked dirty and disgusting.

Fortunately, the current federation has experience in dealing with cold weather. They will use garbage trucks to transport the dirty snow away instead of piling it there.

Because the weather is too cold, it will not turn into water by itself, but will freeze and become an ice pile, which may cause accidents with a certain probability.

In the first two years after the sudden change in weather, one city piled up snow on the roadside without management, and as a result, it froze and turned into lumps of ice.

There was a guy with a brain that obviously lacked a muscle was walking on the road. He didn't know what happened, so he suddenly ran over and gave it a kick.

As you can imagine, he fell and broke his leg.

As a result, this idiot sued the city hall, and finally won the fucking case, and the city hall compensated him more than 2000 yuan for medical expenses.

Since then, the snow on the side of the road has been cleared every day, and there will be signs on some roads that are prone to snow accumulation, so that people should not step on the snow on the side of the road to avoid injury accidents.

This is a good way to avoid legal risks. If any idiot falls because of stepping on a snowdrift, even if he falls to his death, it has nothing to do with the city hall.

But the snowdrifts that should be removed, they will still remove.

After a few days of good weather, it was covered with heavy snow again. There were more pedestrians on the road, and vehicles were moving slowly.

Roadside policemen in thick overcoats dragged a body bag out of a roadside park and put it on the side of the road.

There were eight or nine body bags already on the side of the road, and it looked like there were more bodies in the park that needed to be removed.

Because of the sudden heavy snowfall, these vagrants who did not take proper precautions against the cold went to see God overnight, hoping that there would be no more cold and hunger in their eternal sleep.

Passers-by bypassed the somewhat disturbing sights, and some even got their shoes dirty with dirty snow as they walked on the road outside the sidewalk.

No one will be sad about the death of these homeless people, including their families, perhaps more thoughts are relief and relaxation.

Reporters don't bother to take pictures. It may have been news in the early years, but now, it is the most common thing in winter.

It is said that more than 4000 old people died in Bupain in one winter this year, some of them died from the cold, and some were too old to survive the cold winter.

It was only past [-]:[-] when Lynch arrived at Blackstone Capital.

As soon as he entered the lobby, he saw Ms. Tracy waiting at the elevator door. He was a little surprised, but felt that everything was reasonable.

"I didn't expect you to come so early!" Lynch took off his hat and shook hands with Ms. Tracy.

The waiter in charge of helping people press the elevator button hastily pressed the "up arrow". Rich people don't even have to press the fucking button when they take the elevator.

With a ding, the elevator door opened. This elevator is dedicated to Lynch, and it leads directly to the office on the top floor.

Ms. Tracy briefly indicated that she had just arrived to avoid Lynch's discomfort, and then followed Lynch into the elevator.

The two chatted about some things about Connor. The Connor cabinet has begun to take over all the departments of the federal cabinet, and the work is gradually unfolding.

Many people in the Federation are looking forward to Connor's presidential career, because Connor said that he will solve many difficult problems for the people.

But whether it can be solved is another matter.

As we all know, the promises that the president used to win votes during the campaign are often not fulfilled, or they cannot be fully fulfilled, or what he fulfilled is not the same as what he said.

The elevator went up very smoothly, and there was almost no sense of weightlessness.

The best luxury elevator in Federation, its acceleration and deceleration have a very comfortable process, unlike ordinary elevators.

The secretary at the door of the office made two cups of coffee for Lynch and Ms. Tracy, and then left the room.

At this time, they began to talk about some more formal "topics".

"All my work has been handed over." Ms. Tracy sighed a little. She is no longer the governor, but a liberal of the Progressive Party.

He has no federal or party positions, as Connor did before he ran for president.

However, there was still a little gap between the two. Connor was working as a broker at that time, collecting money to help people solve some problems.

As for Ms. Trish, this is not yet possible.

A female governor who will inevitably leave her name in the history of the Federation, but she is not a complete politician. She cannot solve the problems that capitalists need to solve, so she cannot do this.

"Next..." She spread her hands, "... Last time you said I could go to Slem?"

She had talked about this with Lynch before, and Lynch found a good place for her to go to Slem to take up the professor's class and become the president of the regional senate.

There is a little difference between the regional Senate president and the National Assembly Senate member, but the promotion from the regional Senate president to the National Assembly Senate member is not too much of a promotion.

But now the professor is still the speaker, so Ms. Tracy may need to take a break.

Lynch nodded, "But not now, it will be two years later."

"Also, I've thought about it recently. You still have some places to go, such as Marillo."

It wasn't one of his options before because something wasn't clear.

Now that Connor has become the president of the Federation, and Gladstone has successfully been alienated, the two are not enemies now, at least not as close as they were at the beginning.

On the contrary, it was Lynch who got closer to him. If it was Lynch who suggested it, then Connor was very likely to adopt his suggestion.

And Mariello's current appointment as the de facto candidate for the five states entrusted with federal administration was not entirely selected by locals.

Half of the government officials are nominated by the local people, not elected.

Of course, the federal government called it an election when it advertised, but it was actually a nomination.

Then these nominations and the list of federal politicians are all appointed directly by the federal president.

He can appoint the governor of a certain state, so Ms. Tracy can go there to be the governor.

Even Lynch has already found the reason-female governors are less likely to arouse public resistance, and they will be more tolerant of Ms. Tracy.

This can well promote the integration between the federal government and the people, and maintain stability during the entire process of the transition from the Maliro regime to the federal government.

Look, with such a suitable reason, Connor would never even refuse it!

"Marillo?" Ms. Trish was taken aback for a moment, "... the governor?"

Lynch nodded and admitted this, but Ms. Tracy was still hesitant, and after a while, she did not make a decision.

Not everyone is willing to go to Marillo.

It's winter in Marillo for about six months of the year, right now.

Over there, the temperature began to drop rapidly in mid-to-late October, and it didn’t even take until November. At the end of October, the temperature dropped below zero.

Then until April of the next year, the temperature will return to above ten degrees.

There are only about four months of the year when the temperature is above [-] degrees, which is one reason why the federal takeover of Marillo went so smoothly.

The terrible climate has seriously reduced the grain production in Maliro, and some cold-resistant cash crops cannot be eaten as food.

The food they grow in four months may not be enough for them to eat in a year, so they will grow cold-resistant cash crops, and then buy food from the federal money.

The most basic survival guarantees all depend on the Federation, so the takeover is relatively smooth.

The harsh climate and environment in Marillo made it difficult to live there. Except for those who were eager to use the governor as a springboard to climb to a higher political stage as a ladder, few people were willing to serve in Marillo.

Ms. Tracy's hesitation is understandable to Lynch. After all, it is so poor and so cold, and the governor actually has no benefits and powers. It is better to stay in the country or go to Nagalil.

Catherine's state in Nagalil is very rich. Even if she can only become the regional speaker after she goes there, she will have a lot of power in her hands.

And the living environment is better and more comfortable.

Lynch smiled, "This is just a proposal of mine. If you don't want to go, you can follow our previous thoughts and plans, wait a while, and then go to Nagalil."

Ms. Tracy breathed a sigh of relief, "This is the best!" She was afraid that Lynch would let her go to Marillo, and she would really suffer there!

Lynch listened and nodded, "I have a suggestion."

"you say!"

Lynch carefully observed the changes in Ms. Tracy's expression, "The list of the Senate will come out after a while, maybe you can try to win it."

Ms. Tracy's eyes lit up in an instant. Entering Congress is what she desires most now.

She has already been a governor, and she doesn't really want to be a governor.

The governor's side is indeed in control, but for her, for an ordinary woman, the responsibility is too heavy.

On the contrary, as a member of parliament, she doesn't need to have too heavy a burden, her status is very high, and she has great power. This is her ideal state!
"Can I...can I try?", She was pleasantly surprised. Before Lynch said it was impossible for her, but now let her try, she felt... Maybe this is really an opportunity.

What if it succeeds?

Lynch didn't say enough, and even said very reservedly, "My biscuit didn't say that you will succeed if you try it now, what I mean is that your attempt is like a knock on the door."

"Even if they won't open the door for you, knocking on the door will make them hear it and think about it."

"I thought about it, if we don't try, if we don't do anything, if we don't let them know we want to go in, then the door will never open."

"But we worked hard, and the result may not be what we want, but we let them go from being unacceptable to discussing and thinking about the possibility of this matter."

"This is progress, and it will prepare you for entering Congress in the future!"
