Chapter 2402

Connor is a member of the Progressive Party, but he has no party positions.

Joining the Progressive Party does not necessarily require serving within the party. Many partisans are "liberals." They just hang the label of partisans and don't necessarily care about party affairs that much.

This society is like this.

Either the Progressive Party, or the Conservative Party, of course the Socialist Party can also be elected, but that is only a small part.

When a society is not black and white, but has many colors, as the most basic unit of society, a natural human being must have its own label.

Otherwise, they will be excluded from society by many rules and orders!
Connor didn't have many good friends in the party, and the friendship between politicians was rarely so stable, which was not as good as the friendship between politicians and capitalists.

Just like female tickets and female cousins, they always talk about feelings after every pleasure, but in fact they are talking about business.

Business is more stable and stable than relationships.

When Connor understood the meaning behind Lynch's call, he also had a lot of thoughts.

Gladstone was one of his very best friends, at least until the presidential election, but as the election began and his need for control started to rise, Connor couldn't stand the guy a little bit.

They are good friends, partners, not someone's dad!
Gladstone's desire to control Connor actually goes a little deeper, and it has something to do with the "relationship positioning" of the two.

From Gladstone's point of view, he was the one who gave a guy like Connor who didn't have much aspirations a chance to ascend to the throne of Federation President.

He is the one who takes the initiative in the relationship between the two, so his attitude towards Connor is no longer an equal friendship, but more like a...

In the relationship between the "gold master" and the "chicken", it is impossible for him to let a canary dominate him, so he will gradually stop thinking about whether his actions are appropriate or not, as he did in the past.

Directly with a tough attitude, he asked Connor to cooperate with him.

So from that time on, hidden dangers were laid for the separation of the two.

And Lynch, just let the mines explode that they didn't even notice, that's all.

Gladstone held the power of the Progressive Party and promoted Connor's victory. In his eyes, there was almost no room for anyone else!
If you want to blame, blame him for being too arrogant.

This world will continue to turn without anyone, no one is the protagonist!

Lynch on the other side of the receiver was still waiting for Connor's reply. Connor was stunned for a while, then came to his senses, "Do you want to protect Gladstone?"

If Lynch is on Gladstone's side, then Gladstone still has a high probability of winning.

Because of the York Gang.

Lynch didn't directly answer the question, but asked rhetorically, "Do you want Gladstone to continue in that position and make all kinds of opinions on our work that we can't refuse?"

One sentence made Connor fall into deep thought again.

The spirit of freedom of the Federation pervades the entire society, from top to bottom, is the spirit of freedom.

It's just that the ones at the top are true free spirits, while the ones at the bottom of society are only false free spirits, but whether they are real or fake, the appearance they show is the same.

No one likes to be dominated by others, and Connor is now the president of the federal government.

Lynch's question was very tricky, going straight to the core conflict between him and Gladstone.

It took Connor a while before he lowered his voice, "I can only say these words when I chat with you. If you ask me this question, my answer is no."

"I bought him to arrange things for me. I am not his subordinate, I am the president of the Federation!"

Connor couldn't help complaining, which shows how aggrieved the two of them are together every day, otherwise he wouldn't have said that at all!
With such a result, the two of them basically reached an agreement on this issue, "It's a good decision, and I'm also very dissatisfied with some of his actions."

"Perhaps it will be better for the next work and development to change to someone under our control."

Connor's heart trembled slightly, and he heard a very sensitive word, "You just said...we controlled it?"

"I hope I heard that word correctly. Your offer has piqued my interest. What are your thoughts?"

The position of chairman of the Progressive Party Committee is not an ordinary position. When this person is very tough, this person is the only voice of the Progressive Party.

If this person is not very tough, then this person is a puppet——

Because there is still a relationship with the committee, whether the chairman of the committee is tough or not, or whether everyone accepts it is not important to those who have already sat on it!
For most committee members, a committee chairman who is not tough and more like a decoration is more beneficial to them.

At least in this way their "committee" status can really play a role, instead of turning such an important party organization into someone's toy!
Originally, Connor didn't have any big ideas. If Gladstone really steps down, whoever will replace him has nothing to do with Connor.

He is the president of the Federation, and he no longer needs to look at other people's face, and he and Lynch are very good brothers, and the York Gang can also give him a lot of help in Congress.

Whether the Progressive Party supports him or not supports him, in fact, it will only change the good situation at most-for example, some bills are not easy to pass.

But it wouldn't make it any worse - having the help of the Yorkists and others when someone was going to oppose his proposal couldn't be any worse.

With such a bottom line, Connor actually doesn't care whether the next successor has a good relationship with him.

Besides, as the president of the Progressive Party, as long as the successor is not a fool, he should understand the meaning of cooperating with him and supporting him.

But the "controlled" proposed by Lynch made him very interested.

Lynch knew that Connor would bite the bait. Although he sometimes seemed a bit stupid to Lynch, being able to become the President of the Federation also showed that he was at least politically qualified.

"Do you know... Ms. (Professor)?"

Connor thought for a while, and a very clear image immediately appeared in his mind.

He had paid attention to this woman a few years ago, because she was the first guy to break the unspoken rule that women were not allowed in the parliament, of course the district council.

But even for the regional parliament, this is a remarkable improvement. Several senators have been dismissed and disappeared from the political arena because of this incident.

As the biggest promoter behind the scenes, Lynch also made Catherine and the professor very famous in the federal political arena.

He immediately replied, "I know, but I don't know her. She belongs to you. Do you want to manipulate her into the committee?"

"Yes, she's a good choice."

"First of all, she is a mature woman, which means she will not be subject to too many sharp attacks. People will always have greater tolerance and tolerance for women who are equated with weak people."

"Secondly, she used to be a university professor, and now she is the chairman of the regional parliament. She has a good social reputation and influence, and her professor status can bring her more convincing power."

"Third, although she does not have a deep foundation in the party, this is her shortcoming, but it is also an advantage."

"The committee would love a guy who looks more like a showman to be the new chairman of the committee. In the old generation, to Gladstone and now, the committee members have not played a real role for at least 30 years."

"So as long as there is strong enough support, it is not a joke that she wants to be the chairman of the committee."

"Finally, and most importantly, she is her own!"

Connor began to think seriously about Lynch's remarks, and he had to admit that Lynch was right, and he could even regard the appointment of a professor as a helpless choice after a political conflict.

The old man eventually lost all power completely in exchange for Gladstone's dismissal, while the commissioners regained their due power.

But as long as the professor came to power and became the chairman of the committee, wouldn't it be easy to gain actual power?

With Lynch, and myself supporting her, there will be no obstacles to her work.

One is one of the richest people in the federation, and the other is one of the most powerful people in the federation, how can they lose?
A controllable party committee chairman also has a lot of benefits for Connor, at least in the political game between him and Congress, he has a greater chance of winning!

"We can meet up, Lynch, we can talk face to face."

"No problem, I'll arrange it."

"Think about who else can help us with this, talk to them."

"If the professor can get on the committee, then you don't need to consider whether the party will support your policy in the next eight years, and maybe you will have a whole page of yourself in the history book instead of a brief introduction."

The interests of the party and the interests of the president are not completely consistent, which is very federal!
For example, Connor intends to deepen reforms in many areas, including deeper digging and secondary reforms of some of Mr. Truman's policies.

But the party doesn't necessarily support him.

There are many reasons. It may be that the supporters of the party do not want him to do that, or his actions will harm the interests of the party.

Once such a scene occurs, the president will be very embarrassed, and such a scene has appeared more than once.

When Lynch didn't talk about this, Connor hadn't thought of it. Now that he suddenly realized that he and Gladstone had broken up, it would be difficult for him to get support from Gladstone.

Unless he is willing to make concessions and compromises.

But letting a... such a person ride on his head again, he suddenly felt that replacing Gladstone was actually the best and most acceptable way!

He promised Lynch, "I support your decision, Lynch, just like you support me, contact me if you have further news, I have to think about it."
