Blackstone Code Chapter 785: Pre-election
"Lynch gone?"
"Um..."
"Okay, I got it..."
Your Excellency the Prime Minister hung up the phone. Lynch suddenly came to visit at about seven o'clock this morning.
To the nobles of Gavra, the concept of "morning" often refers to around nine o'clock.
What the nobles have to do is to enjoy life and participate in some political struggles in their spare time. This is their whole life.
For issues like business, there are specialized businessmen to handle them. They don't need to get up before dawn and start a busy day like the presidents of the Federation.
Lynch's visit was a little too early, and the Prime Minister met him in his study in his pajamas.
If he wants to get dressed, it may take more than half an hour. It is very rude to make guests wait for so long. He is not that kind of person.
After the two met, they didn't talk much.
First, I talked about Lynch's plans after going to Amelia province, including his dual-core plan. These prime ministers know a little bit about it and have nothing to object to.
Surprisingly, after talking about this, Lynch said something that made him fall into deep thought.
Until this moment, that sentence kept echoing in his mind - "Have you heard of the constitutional monarchy?"
I don't know why, but this sentence has terrible magic power, making His Excellency the Prime Minister's heart beat faster and his breath short of breath.
He knew it might be a trap, a conspiracy by Lynch, but he couldn't help but be drawn to the scene Lynch described.
On the principle of keeping the nobility in power, weaken the power of the royal family, make the royal family the spiritual symbol and mascot of the country, and return all the power to the nobility.
Let the Privy Council really operate and become a place to select ruling talents for the empire...
It has to be said that these contents that Lynch talked about are full of fatal attraction for the Prime Minister.
The disadvantage of the emperor's rule is that no one can guarantee that every emperor is a wise and wise emperor. In case of a fool, the lunatic is better.
If there is a tyrannical tyrant emperor, that's what really kills.
Every change of the throne is a difficult choice. No one knows whether the person they choose will become an emperor who can lead the country to prosperity in the future.
But if you downplay the power of the emperor and let the nobles replace them in power, referring to the federal electoral system, this seems to be a good method.
Whoever has the ability will come to power, and whoever is incompetent will step down, which ensures that the ruling class of the country will always be the best group of people, which is also the advantage of the federal system.
It's just that Gefra is not such a country. The political system of the monarchy makes this kind of thinking not even a breeding ground.
But now, Lynch suddenly talked about these things, faintly letting the Prime Minister realize something - he got the financial power.
A prime minister with financial power can be called a prime minister. He already has the ability to resist the emperor. If this time...
The prime minister looking at the phone retracted his divergent thoughts and shook his head with a smile. Even if this **** left, he left him with a terrible trouble.
He is still thinking about this matter, which means that he is not disgusted with this kind of statement in his heart. This kind of system is still a little excited.
He knew that this was the wrong emotion. If he always had such an emotion, he would be unconsciously influenced and disturbed by Lynch's words, and finally made the wrong choice.
When he thought of this, he couldn't help but think of the upcoming federal election. The current federal president is really a good time to catch up.
His previous president stepped down halfway through, giving him two years to control the cabinet and various departments of the state, which saved him the most critical time.
When the new election is over, if he wins, he will have more control over the country than any first-term president ever.
The next step is to be re-elected. If he wins the election again, the power of various departments of the Federation will be highly concentrated in his hands. It happens that Minister Gefra and the emperor believe that the next war may break out in ten years.
At that time, the Federation may go in a more terrifying direction, and the president may continue to be re-elected because of this, and he will become an emperor who is not an emperor!
And what about Gavra, where will Gavra go?
When the Prime Minister recovered his scattered thoughts, it was almost ten o'clock and he needed to go to work.
After a simple grooming and breakfast, he came to the office with a briefcase. He sat down for less than a minute when the phone rang.
It belongs to His Majesty the Emperor. The secretary mouthed outside the door to tell him who the caller was.
First nodded and answered the phone, "This is the prime minister's office."
"Good morning... Is that **** Lynch gone?"
The voice of His Majesty the Emperor came out immediately. He was a little polite, and he didn't notice the tit-for-tat between him and His Excellency the Prime Minister a few days ago.
Politics is **** amazing!
"He's gone. My driver told me that he watched Lynch get on the boat and leave the port. He won't be back in a short time."
His Excellency the Prime Minister heard a sigh of relief in the receiver, and it could be seen that the Emperor was very concerned about whether Lynch left or not.
"He'd better not come here for the rest of his life, next time you have to stand up and refuse his entry request, we can't let him run around!"
The Prime Minister smiled. His Majesty the Emperor was always a little out of control when facing Lynch.
On the one hand, because of Jenia, it was said that the emperor planned to recognize a brother-in-law, which made the emperor feel that he was humiliated by this statement.
Secondly, because every time Lynch comes, there is nothing good. This cunning, despicable and shameless federal businessman is not a good person.
The Prime Minister could understand the Emperor's thoughts, but at this moment, he felt a little dazed.
An easily emotional emperor, who has an advantage over an aristocrat ruling as a whole?
Just as the Prime Minister was deeply caught up in Lynch's bright future of a constitutional monarchy, Lynch had returned to the Commonwealth after a few days of sailing.
When I got off the boat, the sea breeze blew on people's faces like a knife, and licking their chapped lips was salty.
"I didn't feel any free and sweet air, only a chilling atmosphere. Who can tell me if I stepped on the wrong leg when I got off the gangway?"
Lynch, who was standing on the ground of the port, made a little joke. People around him whispered to him, whether it was funny or not, they would laugh. This is the magic of money.
The convoy was ready, and under the protection of the sergeant and others, Lynch entered the car.
The car is much warmer. The heat from the engine heats the air, which is captured and fed into the cabin.
Except for the easy casualties, everything else is actually pretty good.
Lynch opened a crack in the window, he didn't want to be on the front page of every newspaper because of his death.
This is just a coastal city, about 500 kilometers away from Bupen, but as soon as the team enters the city, you can feel a strong campaign atmosphere.
Mr. President's big white teeth can be seen everywhere on the walls on both sides of the road. Various campaign slogans and banners are everywhere. From time to time, there are some voters who spontaneously marched on the streets with small flags and placards.
Elections have become a cultural symbol in the Commonwealth, a social phenomenon that everyone focuses on participating in, which is more lively than mayoral elections and governor elections.
When the traffic lights were in the middle of the city, some passing voters ran over and planted several small flags with Mr. President's smiling face on the front hood of the car.
This is a national carnival. No wonder some people say that the federal election is not only a political show, but also a business show.
Think about it, there are almost 120 million legal voters in the Commonwealth, and each of these people needs a coat, a hat, a pair of gloves, some flags, some badges...
It's no wonder they put the election in winter, and if it's summer, people might just buy a short-sleeved T-shirt.
These things cost at least 20 to 30 yuan. This is a market of 2 to 3 billion.
In addition to various propaganda posters, funds for various activities, and funds for various media...
Pull out all the expenses and then break the leg, at least there are hundreds of millions to billions of profits!
The money is enough to drive people crazy.
After Lynch returned to Bupen, the frenetic political atmosphere became stronger, and Bupen's financial center rarely removed all kinds of commercials~IndoMTL.com~ and replaced them with Mr. President and his big white teeth and his thumb.
Everywhere Mr. President, and his fanatical voters, everyone is crazy!
After returning home, Lynch did not immediately devote himself to the intense work, but chose to give himself a few days off.
He's been so busy on Gavra's side, it's time to take a break.
As soon as the TV was turned on, various general election shows appeared, and there were also many presidential election speeches.
These things have higher ratings than TV shows at this time, which is also the biggest difference between the Commonwealth and other countries.
The federal campaign allows everyone to have a very deep sense of participation that will accompany them through the months with the president and the candidates.
They will have a sense of honor to be involved in national events in person, especially if the president they choose wins in the end, giving them the illusion of "just because I joined him."
The Federation is definitely at the forefront of the world when it comes to fooling, paralyzing and manipulating the people, and Gevra is not even worthy to carry shoes for the Federation people!
Lynch's vacation was interrupted two days later, and Ms. Tracy called him unexpectedly, hoping to come and chat with him.
The last time he went back to York, he donated a sum of money to the Women's Rights Protection Association, when Ms. Tracy was away.
Lynch was curious about her visit, what did this woman want to do?
