It wasn't until late at night that Connor saw Lynch, who had been waiting.

Lynch originally planned to go back with Catherine, but Connor stopped him.

Connor, who was sitting on the sofa, could no longer maintain his sitting posture, and his whole body seemed to be slumped on the sofa.

He had already untied his tie, his collar was open, and some chest hair was vaguely visible.

He rubbed his face vigorously, and then sighed heavily, "There will be a lot of big trouble tomorrow."

This sentence seemed to be spoken to himself, but also to Lynch.

Lynch didn't answer, just stayed quietly. He knew very well that before Connor had experienced so much, some emotions would surge out uncontrollably.

That's how it is with people. No matter how strong a person is, there will always be a moment when the hard shell is pried open.

It only takes a moment for sensibility to kick in, and it is not surprising that some changes will occur in thoughts and emotions.

Connor rubbed his face for a while and rested his head on the cushion that was a section higher than the back of the sofa. He tilted his head and looked at Lynch in an indistinct manner, "Do you know what the biggest feeling gave me today?"

Lynch curled his lips and tilted his head, signaling him to continue. At the same time, he stood up and walked to the wine cabinet to get a bottle of wine.

The wine in the wine cabinet in the living area is all Connor's own wine. In fact, the Presidential Palace also has related budgets and expenses, but no matter who is in this position, they have never considered using this budget to buy wine and put it in the wine cabinet. In the wine cabinet.

Because of the taxpayers.

They don't even allow coffee that costs more than ten yuan a cup to exist in the presidential palace, let alone wine that costs hundreds or thousands of yuan.

If taxpayers knew that the President of the Federation used taxpayers' tax money to buy a bottle of wine worth 1000 yuan for relaxation, they would definitely go to the lawn outside the Presidential Palace and protest while defecating.

So the wine in the wine cabinet was all brought by Connor himself, and he will take it all away when he leaves office.

Connor looked back at the ceiling. The decoration was very simple, but also very grand. He was cut into many pieces in the crystal chandelier, which swayed when the wind passed through the room.

"Actually, we predicted these troubles early on. Although it actually happened much more violently than we imagined, we actually had ways to control the situation before it happened."

"Before it explodes!"

"thanks……"

Connor took the glass from Lynch, sat up straight, and took a sip.

The spirit with ice is not that exciting in the mouth, but after entering the belly, you can feel its changes.

Connor looked at Lynch, "When we make these decisions, if we had controlled them at that time, these things wouldn't have happened."

Lynch then dismissed his idea, or gave him a reality, by saying, "But we didn't do it and we can't do it."

Connor nodded in agreement and did not evade, "Because the military does not cooperate with us, the Ministry of National Defense also behaves somewhat ambiguously."

"If we had taken control of the backbone of the Peleus family earlier, everyone, there would have been no problems in the Capitol."

"I can't blame them in the Northern Military Region, because their work tasks are also very heavy, but the shenanigans of the Western Military Region and the Central-Southern Military Region make me very angry!"

Because the Northern Military District borders the entire territory of Marillo between the federation and it is summer, it is the peak period for the Marillo people to flee south.

Ever since the Mariro people also knew that the Ice Age was coming, they ran south like crazy, although they didn't know that even if they came to the south, they might not have a chance to enter the shelter.

But they still desperately tried their best to enter the federal territory.

For the current residents of the northern part of the federation, it's actually pretty cool. According to statistics, since two years ago, the divorce rate in the northern part of the federation has become the highest in the federation.

Because the Mariroans want to obtain federal resident status, apart from the officially allowed immigration channels, the only way is marriage immigration.

There are a lot of young, beautiful or handsome boys and girls who are eager to find their "other half" in the Federation without any requirements. This gives almost all the Federation people in the north the opportunity to re-select their spouse.

It is common to see Federal gentlemen in their fifties, sixties, or even older accompanied by a girl who may be in her twenties, or even a teenager.

Or those ladies of the same age are accompanied by a handsome young man in his teens or 20s.

The sect that allowed four wives flourished in the northern region, and almost most men joined this sect because they could legally have four wives recognized by federal law!

In addition to these visible aspects, which may be good, there are actually many negative situations.

Robbery, murder, burglary, these things happen almost every day!
After all, these refugees could not bring much wealth with them when they came in. In the Federation, a place that needs wealth to even breathe, they have no other way to make money except these methods.

Therefore, the Northern Military Region has a lot of work. In addition to maintaining border issues and domestic issues in Marillo, it is also responsible for security and arrest issues in most areas in the northern part of the federation.

However, there are no high-intensity military tasks in the Western Military Region and the Central-Southern Military Region. Almost everyone is training and taking turns on a daily basis. They have the time and energy to mobilize elites and end it all before everything breaks out.

They did not do that. If the Navy's Second Fleet had not begun to move towards Bupain, the Central and Southern Military District would not even have planned to send troops to control it.Therefore, Connor had great opinions on the armies in the two regions. Even though the military should be independent and detached, he was still very dissatisfied.

"You should understand that from their perspective, there is nothing incorrect about their choice."

"Not triggering a civil war is the core idea of ​​the military. If internal military conflicts are artificially created, there is no doubt that there is a high possibility of triggering a civil war."

"They can't bear this responsibility, and even if you were to bear it, they wouldn't be willing."

Connor did not deny Lynch's statement, "Knowing is one thing, understanding is another."

"I know what they're doing is the right thing to do from their standpoint, but I just don't feel comfortable with it."

"I'm the president and they don't listen to me."

"This is the reason why I feel uncomfortable. Do you think this reason is enough?"

Lynch smiled and said, "That's enough, what do you have in mind?"

Connor looked at Lynch for a while, "How many people are there in Blackstone Security now?"

Lynch recalled, "About 16 people. My goal is 20 people."

Connor directly denied this number, "It's not enough, it should be more, 25 or even 30."

"What happened today made me realize that outside of the current federal system, we should have an off-the-table move that can play a decisive role."

"I believe that Congress will also support my ideas and suggestions. Their losses are even more severe, and these losses are enough for them to pass my proposal."

Lynch knew what Connor was talking about. He had said this before, but Connor didn't pay much attention to it at that time.

After all, no matter how powerful the private armed forces are, can they be stronger than the federal military?
Moreover, it is impossible for private armed forces to perform military tasks in the country without authorization.

Although the military is the same, the military is more convenient. Sometimes they are not so serious. Everything follows the process and system, and sometimes they do it first and report later.

And at that time, Connor did not feel that the military was not easy to use. After all, as the ruling president of the Federation, he had the power to require the federal military to act according to his opinions.

Although the military also has the right to refuse.

But he didn't expect it to come so quickly and make him so dissatisfied!

Lynch thought for a while and said, "There is no problem with the number of people. At the same time, we also need more permission to install military equipment and permission to move."

Any weapons and equipment that private armed forces are allowed to equip domestically must be approved by the Ministry of National Defense.

It doesn’t mean that if you have money, you can just buy it and use it.

You can buy it, but you may not be able to use it unless the Department of Defense allows it.

Connor waved his hand and said tiredly, "These are not problems. I don't trust the military very much now."

"There are always things in their minds that we don't know, Lynch, I trust you, I believe you can help me, right?"

Lynch shrugged, "Who else but me?"

A smile appeared on Connor's face, "Tomorrow I will interview the speakers of both houses. This must be done as soon as possible. Please do your best during this time..."

Lynch did not leave at night and stayed overnight at the Presidential Palace. It was too late. Staying overnight was also a signal to the outside world.

Early the next morning, media from all over the world were crowded outside the presidential palace. They were all very interested in the bombing of the Capitol and wanted to know what happened next.

Connor went to bed around two o'clock and got up at six o'clock in the morning. He didn't seem to be out of energy.

It is incredible for an old man to maintain such energy. It may also be the effect of some special medicines provided by the medical group. If nothing happens, he should take a rest in the afternoon, even if it is half an hour.

When I woke up in the morning, there was good news. Four members of the congressmen in the conference hall survived, and Senator Langdon, who was hiding in the toilet, also survived.

The structure of the toilet is more stable. Although the explosion cracked its walls, it did not collapse.

In fact, not many people died directly from the explosion, but more died from being crushed after the building collapsed.

This is obviously more painful than being killed by a direct explosion, if death cannot occur immediately.

As for the terrorists, Connor told the outside world that they were all dead, but in fact there were still two alive.

These two living mouths are of great use. Connor was very angry this time, and so were the Congressmen. They had to use these two living mouths to bite out more people and vent their anger.

So they will not let these two people die. They are enjoying better medical services than the members of Congress, just to ensure that they will not die suddenly!
