Chapter 781 Willing to be Human...

"Save... us?"

The little count stared at Lynch in a daze, and even the former countess looked at Lynch in a daze.

The fact that the elders betrayed the interests of the nobles had spread throughout the empire within a day, including the common people, but Lynch's words made both mother and son fall into a daze.

About ten seconds later, the little earl shook his head a little discouraged, "I don't understand, Mr. Lynch, they have lost a chancellor who can hold great power among us, and have lost a force we can rely on." , This is obviously harming our interests, so why is it saving us?"

In the eyes of most of the nobles in the Privy Council, what the little earl said was what they thought in their hearts. Once a finance minister was born among them, other nobles in the Privy Council could be placed in various financial departments to take on important positions.

The Privy Council has a spokesperson among the ministers, and can speak in front of His Majesty the Emperor. It can even be used as a basis for the nobles of the Privy Council to enter other departments to take on important or not so important positions.

Many people regard this confrontation between the emperor and the prime minister as an opportunity for the rise of the nobles of the Privy Council. This is the only time in so many years that both the prime minister and the emperor agreed to let the Privy Council submit the list of ministers.

But it was such a good opportunity, which was rejected by the elders on the grounds that they "couldn't come up with a list of suggestions". What's more, they planned to propose His Majesty the Emperor to let the Prime Minister take up this position concurrently!

To say that there are no invisible transactions, not to mention the ordinary people watching the fun, even the nobles themselves would not admit it.

It was obviously a big bad thing, but it turned into a good thing in Lynch's mouth. This... is a bit unacceptable, even though the little Earl admires Lynch very much.

Lynch looked at him, seeming to guess what he was thinking, and asked casually, "You think it's ridiculous?"

The little count nodded, "I don't understand at all..." He smiled wryly, "If this is what you mean by politics, then politics is a little too complicated."

Lynch shook his head while nibbling on an apple, "Politics is not complicated at all, but there is a premise that you must be able to peel off its coat layer by layer to reveal the real core inside, so that you can understand the context and development of the whole thing. .”

"Do you know the Congress of the Federation?" Lynch suddenly asked an irrelevant question, but the little earl nodded. He knew the Congress of the Federation.

In some reports by Gafla, the federal Congress is the most ridiculous place in the world. Members of Congress who can affect national policies greet each other's family members from time to time because of their different positions in Congress.

It's normal to swear no matter how ugly it sounds, such as swearing or talking about the other party's moral problems, and sometimes they even fight!
For the Gafla people who maintain a serious political posture, it is a farce, a boring and funny comedy, and most Gefla people know the Federal Congress like this.

Lynch asked again, "What do you think of Congress?"

The little count thought for a while, and he suddenly realized that Lynch was teaching him while also imparting a kind of experience, a kind of knowledge. I will answer when I am full.

What happened before the eyes of the former countess who was sitting on the side made her suddenly feel a little trance. In the trance, she seemed to see her late husband sitting on the sofa, sharing her rich experience and experiences in a humorous and relaxed way. passed on to the next generation.

Her eye sockets were a little wet, and she immediately lowered her head to hide her gaffe.

The little earl didn't notice this, and he replied after serious thinking, "It's very messy, everyone's views are different, and every time there is a break, there will be lobbying groups everywhere lobbying members of Congress to change their positions."

"They are like...a handful of stones, no matter how hard you try to hold them together, they will all fall apart as soon as you let go."

He used a very vivid description, stones, not sand.

In fact, the sand can be held into a ball after being wetted by water, and it is not so easy to completely dissipate. On the contrary, it is a stone, no matter whether it is wet or dry, no matter how hard you hold them in your hand, you only need to let go for a moment , they will inevitably disperse.

Lynch nodded in satisfaction, although the question was not difficult.

"So let's make a hypothetical, what happens if MPs all get together?"

The little count fell into deep thought again. He already had a feeling that when he realized some of the truths in it, the fog in front of him would instantly dissipate, allowing him to see the essence of the matter.

He thought of many possibilities. Although he didn't know much about the political system of the Federation, he knew that the Congress of the Federation held important powers such as enacting laws and amending laws.

Some of these legal provisions can even affect the president, and Congress makes the final decision when impeaching the president.

After thinking again and again, he tentatively replied, "If the Congress is united, the president of the Federation will be very dangerous?"

This is what he thinks, if members of Congress can really unite together, it doesn't really matter whether the Federation has a president or not. Anyway, they have the final say on everything, and they decide who goes up and who goes down. The president will become a Congress puppet.

Lynch shook his head, "Although I guessed wrong, but not many mistakes."

"Once members of Congress are united, Congress may be banned, and members of Congress may completely disappear from the federal political arena, or they may barely continue in another way."

"The supreme power is always unchallenged. The federal president and the military will not allow such a dangerous ruling class to appear. They will directly launch a civil war to cleanse all those who attempt to control the country."

"So the unification of Congress is not a good thing, but a bad thing, a big bad thing."

"Let's look back at the current situation in Gefla, have we gained some new experience?"

Lynch looked at the little earl with a half-smile. There was only one core left in the apple in his hand. The former countess took the initiative to push the trash bin over. Lynch thanked him and threw away the core.

When the former countess handed Lynch a handkerchief, she said "thank you". She knew that it was not Lynch's responsibility to let the little count know more about the world.

But if he does this, he has to be grateful. This is not a simple matter of making some money. It is more like a kind of inheritance of wisdom, which is more rare than making money.

Lynch shook his head with a smile and said nothing.

He values ​​the little Earl very much, and Gefra and the Federation will inevitably become competitors in the future. Now, making friends with these people and drawing them to his side is equivalent to making a foreshadowing in advance.

In any case, the future of these people is worth looking forward to.

Even if the things Lynch guessed do not happen in the future, these investments are not in vain, and they can still get enough returns, so why not do it at this time, and have to wait until later and sigh "why didn't I do it then"?
After several minutes of thinking, the little count let out a heavy breath, his eyes became extraordinarily bright, "I probably understand something!"

Lynch took out a cigarette, and the former countess lit the cigarette for Lynch with the desktop lighter on the table, "Tell me."

He crossed his legs and pressed his hands on his knees, giving people a very mature feeling, not at all like a 23-year-old young man-yes, his birthday was only in October, and he was 23 years old.

But for the mainstream group in this world, he is still a young man, a big kid!

"The Privy Council is very united now. Once we have some power in our hands and the power spreads around, we will eventually become the most terrifying group in the empire."

"Whether it's the ministers or His Majesty the Emperor, they have nothing to do with us, because we are almost equal to nobles!"

"If the Chancellor of the Exchequer really appears among us, that person and us will definitely be suspected by the ministers and the royal family."

"Therefore, the position of chancellor of the exchequer will not fall into our hands no matter what. In this case, it is obviously more appropriate for the elders to exchange this impossible position for something we can get."

"Maybe we will know tomorrow, maybe some colleagues will join the finance department and become new officials."

"Am I right?" He looked at Lynch expectantly, like a child who scored 99 points in an exam, full of expectation, looking forward to praise.

Lynch nodded, "That's right... a little bit, but this is already quite remarkable, at least most people at your time can't see the relationship here."

The little count was only slightly taken aback after hearing this, he thought he had seen everything clearly, but he didn't expect Lynch to just say that he was right "a small half", not even half!

It's like he got 99 points in the test paper and the full score is [-] or [-] points. This score can't make people happy at all!

"Can you... tell me about it, and those other things!" He is a little excited now. Although politics is very boring, as long as he gets the right way to open it, it will become interesting.

After all, people are always the happiest when they fight against each other—of course, this is based on being able to win, and those who lose never think it is an interesting thing.

The eyes of the former countess looking at the little count were filled with a kind of maternal brilliance, as well as some sighs and relief.

Naturally, Lynch's back also shone in the eyes of the countess, the kind of glittering gold...
