Chapter 829 Talking about national affairs on the court

Sending off this little-known lobbyist from the Duncan family, Senator Langdon shook his head with a wry smile.

Very unpleasant experience of being lobbied, like someone stuck a finger in his nostril and asked him if he was happy.

I don't know if I'm happy or not, but it hurts and sore anyway, tears are about to come out, but it's hard to refuse.

He managed to get this position, and his butt was not hot, so how could he risk being "adjusted" to reject the Duncan family's lobbying?

Representatives, senators, are all members of Congress, but there is still a big difference.

The difference in numbers actually reflects the status of the two parties. The number of senators is much smaller than that of representatives. At the same time, in some heavyweight committees, the number of senators is also a little bit more, although they always say that the two sides are equal. .

The main reason is that members of the House of Representatives can be quickly adjusted. When a party decides to change its congressional strategy, they can easily replace those members of the House of Representatives who do not have a deep political background.

Those who cooperate, change places to mix with a state senator or something.

Those who don't cooperate can be completely kicked out for any reason.

Furthermore, even a person like Congressman Langdon who doesn't really have a deep background can operate himself as a member of Congress, although he paid for the position of mayor.

Then if others want to get rid of him, the price they pay will not exceed the position of mayor of a small city, and it may be much lower.

It's like the defensive side always invests more than the offensive side. Whether it's financial, material or energy, he must ensure that his position is stable. As for other personal honors, it doesn't really matter much.

He tilted his head to look at the bright sunshine outside the window, but his mood was far less bright than the sunshine at this time.

Under the same bright sunshine, Mr. Geruno was playing golf with Mr. Fitch.

The temperature at the end of January is still a bit cold, and what the elderly people are most afraid of is the cold wind blowing in the cold outside.

The cold wind will become an invisible knife, which can penetrate people's clothes, penetrate people's bodies, and leave a deep cold on the bones and in the bones.

So they choose to play indoors in a warm environment, indoor golf, with a large piece of special glass on top of their heads, which also allows them to bask in the sun.

There are no long fairways here, it's actually just greens.

People hit the green with one shot from the start and putt to the hole, and while there's less power swinging, it's still a great way to pass the time for those who love golf.

Mr. Geruno was standing in front of his ball. He was constantly adjusting the angle of the putter and trying different strengths. All his attention was completely focused on the ball, and he didn't even bother to talk.

Twenty seconds later, he swung the club lightly and pushed the ball forward. Watching the ball quickly roll across the undulating lawn, and finally landed steadily into the hole, he waved his fist and casually held the ball. The club worth tens of thousands of dollars was thrown to the caddy so indifferently.

"Good shot!" Mr. Fitch applauded.

Mr. Fitch looks not tall, with thinning and gray hair. He looks like a very serious, but also very ordinary person.

He walked down the street 90.00% of people would not know that he was passing the most powerful person in the Federation, he was so unobtrusive.

But in the federal political arena, no one dared not pay attention to him, and no one could fail to notice him.

Mr. Geruno took off the non-slip gloves and walked aside, "I have this hunch, it will definitely get in!"

He also has a smile on his face, scoring goals is definitely a very enjoyable achievement for someone who likes to play.

The caddy put a golf ball on the ball mark, then lightly and carefully removed the mark.

Mr. Fitch tightened his gloves, took the same expensive club, and adjusted the position and angle.

He was more decisive than Mr. Geruno when he took the shot. He didn't take too long to aim and have a hunch. After about ten seconds, he swung the club. The ball twisted on the lawn of the green, but it was always heading towards the hole. direction.

Both of them held their breath, and at the moment when the ball fell into the hole, Mr. Fitch had a little more smile on his face, "It seems to be a tie again."

The caddy immediately sent him the scorebook, and he casually looked at the proposal, "I remember correctly!"

He handed the club to the caddy with a smile, and walked to another green with Mr. Geruno without taking off the gloves.

There are plenty of indoor greens that change terrain features every once in a while so there can be more designs.

Complicated, simple, bumpy, smooth.

The two walked and chatted.

"You have taken too far this time, we still have some questions about the security law..."

When Mr. Geruno proposed this matter, the two parties began to study this proposal. As for the Socialist Party... sometimes there is not much difference between them.

There is a very strict attitude, a concept in the Federation.

Capitalists control wealth, politicians control power, and the military controls armed forces.

The federation has developed from the past to the present. Regardless of the fact that capitalists have been infiltrating the political arena and the military, once it comes to issues of principle, no one will back down.

The security law is obviously testing whether everyone's bottom line is the same as in the past. This sign is not very good, but their excuses are very good.

At present, in order to take care of the country's image in the international community, the federal government is inconvenient to send troops everywhere. Even the "army" sent to Nagalil is formed "spontaneously" by retired soldiers.

They were not required by the federal government, let alone by the federal military to station in Nagalil to form an armed deterrent to Nagalil and its surrounding areas. They were spontaneously employed by the local government to help them maintain local peace.

There's nothing about the federal government, but absolutely nothing about capitalists.

At the same time, this kind of situation can only happen in Nagalil, and it is impossible to happen in other places. The Federation will not provoke enemies everywhere under the name of "aggressor".

Although there is a warship escort, the warship escort can only guarantee that there will be no problems on the sea under the escort of the warship. In fact, capitalists often encounter some problems in the specific operation process.

"From the standpoint of the government, you can restrain other countries from respecting and protecting the legitimate rights and interests of our businessmen, but you can't solve some things beyond the law."

"Hooligans, gangs, rascals, there are such people everywhere, they themselves are outside the supervision of law and morality, their own government can't restrain their behavior, let alone a place where they may never have been What about the government of the country?"

The two walked to the steps, about a hundred meters away from them, was another court.

The caddies followed them at some distance, and the bigwigs who came here didn't like being surrounded by chatter.

After Mr. Fitch was thoughtful after listening, Mr. Geruno continued, "The concept that the federal people are rich has now become a consensus around the world. In some places where our influence is weak, targeting the federal people Kidnapping, hijacking, and robbing happen from time to time.”

"The inaction of the local government and even the protective behavior left our businessmen with no good solution at all. They could only leave after losing a sum of money and goods, and some even gave their lives."

"You can't protect us, now we want to protect ourselves, can't we?"

Standing by the door, Mr. Geruno made a "please first" gesture, allowing Mr. Fitch to go through the door first.

Mr. Fitch frowned, "You can hire some bodyguards or someone who can protect yourselves, or even buy yourself weapons."

"We have allowed private individuals to purchase various standard weapons from the federal military-industrial complex. You can actually do that, but it should not be discussed on the surface."

"This is not an easy question to talk about!"

The two walked down the ramp, and the caddy followed up in good time.

This green is about a thousand square meters, and there is a tender green lawn in winter, and the temperature is very suitable.

The tee point is on the back of a [-]-degree soil slope. Teeing off on this uneven ground will test the player's skills.

Mr. Fitch took the club from the caddy and asked the caddy to put the ball away, and he hardly waited long to swing hard.

The ball was hit and flew into the air, straight up and down, and luckily landed on the green.

Another caddy ran to where his ball had landed, inserted the marker, and picked it up.

This is to prevent the two balls from colliding. Although this kind of thing is not so easy to happen, it has happened after all, so there is such a measure.

Mr. Geruno continued while aiming, "But just because this proposal will sting some people's sensitive nerves, we businessmen should not be allowed to bear the results that should not be borne by us."

"If the security law can be passed, at least it will not be so easy for those who are malicious towards us to deal with us."

He took a long time to prepare before hitting the ball, and then his arm jerked, thumped, and the turf flew.

With such a wave, the price of repairing the turf is around 20 yuan.

The two stopped talking again. They watched the ball fly in the air, watched it land on the green, and watched it roll towards the hole.

Although it was not successfully transferred into the hole in the end, compared with Mr. Fitch's ball on the edge of the green, Mr. Geruno's shot is obviously very technical.

"Good shot!" Mr. Fitch praised.

Mr. Geruno smiled, and the two walked towards the green, "No one can stop the needs of the people."

"Right now it's just a stream of water. If it's blocked for too long, it will turn into a torrent and destroy everything!"

Mr. Fitch was thoughtful. He stood in front of the ball and thought for a while, and then hit the ball without hesitation. Although the ball was a little far from the hole, it finally fell into the hole just right.

"I will carefully consider it!"

When Mr. Geruno heard this, he clenched his fists. He knew that he had persuaded Mr. Fitch.
