Blackstone Code Chapter 1438: The Chosen One
Remember【】for a second,!
The Glendon family is also well-known in the history of the Commonwealth, as there have been three presidents in their family.
The first president brought stable and reliable political influence to the family, and a few generations later, in the age of Old Glendon, he once again successfully won the election to become president.
Unbelievably, his son then also ran for it, a period known as "Glendon Time".
Perhaps there was no leap forward in the development of the Federation during the "Glendon Time" period, but there was no obvious decline, and it remained stable.
Smooth means mediocrity, in every sense of the word, but it was a good thing for the federation at the time.
In fact, it seems like a long way to go, but in fact it was more than ten years ago.
Old Glendon was ninety-four years old at this point, and "little Glendon" was seventy-five years old.
There are also two "Old Bones" in the entire team, both in their 80s, both presidents of the "Glendon Time" period.
It is rumored that Glendon Jr. is seeking to prepare for a fourth president in his family, which is why he and his old father are still working.
Capitalists and political chips will not fall into someone's pocket for no reason. If you don't participate in it and actively seek these benefits for yourself, no one will pay attention to you, and no one will give you these. .
When they received the idea of Lynch's visit, they agreed immediately.
Although Mr. President's situation is very bad at present, politicians at the top can see that Mr. President is actually forced to make a statement, and the bipartisan committee will definitely give him some compensation in the future.
Like the son of the previous president, who is now a diplomatic ambassador, when the right time comes and the Conservative candidate wins the election, he will most likely be transferred back to the country as first chief of the Department of International Affairs job.
Thus using this job as a springboard to jump into Congress and become a senator, or, like his father, run for office and become president of the Union.
This is a compensation!
The core of politics is transaction and compromise. Mr. President wants to confront the Duncan family head-on for the high-level positions of the two parties, then he will definitely have other arrangements after he steps down.
His political clout won't be lost just because he steps down, and with Lynch's support, Mr. President is actually not a "nasty" guy these days.
Just their visit to Lynch, a little confused...
"Does our Mr. President still want to seek re-election under such circumstances?" Little Glendon rubbed his eyes, put on his glasses again, and looked at some newspapers on the table.
Each election year, these campaign teams start to form and then join the festivities.
Their intention is to help the candidate of the Conservative Party run for the presidency. In addition to the reasons for their previous political positions, they think that the probability of the Conservative Party will be higher.
When people were driving a car on a large road and faced an intersection, they chose the one on the left, resulting in a traffic jam.
They will be extremely annoyed why they didn't choose the right one?
The next time they need to choose, something in their subconscious is at work, making them more inclined to drive on the right side of the road.
Voters are all the same.
If the Conservatives don't work, choose the Progressives.
The Progressive Party is not doing very well either, so choose the Conservative Party.
The federal presidential election is constantly lingering in such a cycle, coupled with the interference of capital forces, sometimes the election can be predicted!
Old Glendon is too old, but in good spirits, which is the benefit of the dual blessing of power and wealth.
He can't walk now, his body can't support him to move on his own, he can only sit in a wheelchair.
At the same time, he also wears sunglasses, because the eyes are aging, and the strong light source can cause terrible damage to his eyes, and even cause him to go blind.
Even so, he's in good spirits.
The best medical team in the Commonwealth is at his service, making sure he has at least another five years to live - that's what his personal medical team leader says.
They tried some special medicines in Nagalil, which can effectively slow down the failure of organs, and they have already started injecting him, and the effect is very good.
As for the price and raw materials of this special medicine, he never asked.
If you ask, there will be no burden.
The old man pursed his lips, "Also allowed is for Truman, I heard that they nominated Truman as the second candidate on the party committee."
The other team members were thoughtful, and Glendon Jr. chuckled and shook his head, "Good idea, but naive."
"Presidential election is not something that can be done with a little money, it requires a lot of money, and Lynch may not be able to support it..."
At this time, the fate of the shipping group and the military industry group has not been revealed, and it is possible that only Lynch is on the side of Mr. Truman.
That's why they're not very optimistic about Mr. Truman's campaign. His "backup team" is too thin.
While they were talking, the housekeeper came over and told everyone that Lynch had arrived, and then they met Lynch in the living room.
"I'm under pressure!" Lynch was well-dressed and had a clean smile on his face. He was sitting on the sofa, not restrained at all, but rather relaxed.
His eyes swept over the people around him, and said with a smile, "Every gentleman in this room has paid for the Federation, and only I am constantly asking for it!"
Little Glendon laughed dryly, not because Lynch didn't say it well enough, but...he felt that Lynch was acting a little stronger.
Indeed, the lowest rank in this room is also a congressman. The others are either senators or governors and presidents. The federation does have their credit for what it is today.
But... when Lynch said these words, he didn't feel his humility, which made the effect of these words somewhat discounted.
At the same time, the attitude he showed gave people some different feelings.
This young man is in trouble!
At this time, the Blackstone Capital behind Lynch has begun to take shape. He no longer needs to be as careful as before. The capital game in the capital society is so simple and transparent.
As long as your actions are in line with your values, then whatever you do is forgiven!
"Mr. Lynch, we're both very old and we don't have much time to work each day, so why not let us just start our conversation?"
This was said by old Glendon, and he is the only one here qualified to say it.
Lynch looked at his age spots, which covered most of his face, and nodded slightly, "Mr. Truman is planning to run. We have just set up a campaign office, and we still lack an experienced team..."
While Lynch said this, Little Glendon glanced at the other, who stood up and interrupted, "Sorry, we've already made plans!"
He is turning down Lynch's invitation. After all, in their view, the probability of Trueman winning the election is very small, which is not cost-effective for them.
Especially Mr. Glendon Sr., he may not make it to the next general election, which may be the last election he will participate in, and he has to drain his worth!
He still has some weight. Now some politicians have benefited from him. For example, the chairman of the Progressive Party committee, that short old man, once accepted the help of old Glendon.
Now he has to drain his worth and transfer it to the youngsters of the family to pave the way for them.
Lynch and Truman are not the best choices, and people naturally don't want to talk too much.
At this point, everyone looked at Lynch. According to the "script", Lynch should now express regret and then get up and say goodbye.
But Lynch didn't do that. He still sat on the sofa so naturally and relaxed, and asked casually, "Do you know who introduced me here?"
Little Glendon frowned. He glanced at his father before asking, "Do I know him?"
When the name "Peleus" came out of Lynch's mouth, the whole living room fell silent.
Some young people, young politicians, don't understand who Peleus is, but they, those who have seen through federal politics, know very well.
There is a political family in politics, and a capital family in capital, so the military, naturally, also has a military family!
Soldier is a very common and simple title. A corporal can be a soldier, and a lieutenant general can also be a soldier!
Behind Peleus represents the attitude of the military. There are even rumors that the federal military has not yet had a real marshal, just waiting for Peleus.
He is very likely the first real marshal in the history of the Federation, and only he holds the "password to become a marshal~IndoMTL.com~ The military supports Mr. Truman, which has to be treated with caution." .
The former Senator who interrupted Lynch just now apologized to Lynch with a smile, "Sorry, I shouldn't have interrupted you."
Lynch was still sitting there, frowning, "I forgive you."
After a brief dreary atmosphere, the air in the room seemed to begin to flow, and Mr. Glendon Sr. made a request to make a call.
He is definitely going to seek evidence, and Lynch will naturally not refuse his request.
This is also the reason why Lynch didn't leave. Old Glendon intends to "go for it", then he is the most suitable.
Don't look at these people who have long since moved away from the current political arena, but their influence and connections have not been discounted in the slightest.
They may not be able to run on their own, but when someone becomes a "trouble", they only need to make a phone call, and they can often win some people into their camp.
Plus Mr. Glendon old's willingness to give everything, and that's all Lynch and Mr. Trueman need!
