Blackstone Code Chapter 1497: Relay
Mr. Trueman's campaign target was relatively easy, but not so easy!
Is it easy to win a war?
Former Gefra people find it easy.
Pentio, who didn't fight people on the ocean, used to think it was easy!
The times are always evolving. Although the Federation has a good chance of winning based on the current performance of various countries in military technology, who can guarantee that the Federation will win?
No, no one can guarantee it!
Perhaps the Gafra people also have some secret weapons that have not been exposed. Maybe the sea fortress of Pongio is more terrifying than imagined. There are too many unknown factors plaguing people. No one can guarantee that this war will eventually follow the federal Man's thoughts end.
As for the issue of social insurance reform, the problem is not only from the capitalists, but also from the federal government itself!
Its problem is not with someone, it's with the federal government's social insurance system!
If the number of years to pay social insurance is cut, it means that people don't have to work as long to get pensions, which is equal to five to ten years less for everyone.
The size of pensions can still be turned around now, but what about in the future?
As policies are enacted and reforms are completed, less and less money will go into pension accounts, but spending will not change.
Will there be a day, suddenly, that the federal government finds out that the account they use to pay out pensions... is out of money?
As for infrastructure...
This is a bigger problem. In fact, the infrastructure of the Federation is very incomplete. Even though the Federation seems to be a relatively developed and rich country in the world.
However, there are still some deficiencies in the infrastructure.
For example, some places have train stations, but others don't!
The absence of a railway station means that industrial construction in this area will become a big problem, and the transportation of industrial raw materials by road transportation will greatly increase the transportation cost.
In terms of time, it is far less than the speed of train transportation.
For example, until now, some places don't have their own power plants, and they can only find ways to buy electricity from nearby cities. .
It can be that if the neighboring city is fully operating in terms of industrial production, it is possible to stop the output of electricity to ensure that its own factory will not be shut down due to lack of electricity.
Many areas have the same problems. The infrastructure construction is not perfect, which makes people's life inconvenient.
But this kind of thing... it's not realistic to rely on the federal government to build it because the cost is too high.
You can only cooperate with capitalists, but capitalists always have harsh demands on interests. No one will do charity unless they can get some benefits from charity, such as tax relief.
Otherwise they would rather burn the money than give it to the poor.
The capitalist society has a serious confrontation in the ideological field. Some people think that it is a confrontation between the rich and the poor, but it is not entirely correct.
This confrontation is comprehensive, everyone is like an island in the capital, and every "other" is an enemy!
The three major difficulties, as Mr. Truman's campaign offensive, did bring him a lot of attention, plus the bonus of military status, in the new statistics, the main force from the bottom of the society, also It is the group of workers, and his recognition is very good.
These issues he proposes to solve are closely related to the interests of the working class, and the strategy of campaigning for office is very correct and successful.
In a new round of opinion polls, Mr. Trueman's approval rating has surpassed 50 percent, and he ranks fourth among all candidates.
If nothing else happens, by October and November, his approval rating should be able to reach the forecast, that is, at least 70%!
The campaign has just begun...
Lynch thought for a while, but didn't give him any affirmative answer, because Lynch knew very well that when a person doubts his own abilities, you tell him "you can do it", not necessarily it works.
So, Lynch gave him a rhetorical question, "You don't think we can do it?"
Mr. Truman was stunned for a moment, followed Lynch's idea, and subconsciously began to think why it couldn't be done.
But he thought about it for a few minutes and couldn't come up with an answer!
The military power of the Federation is the strongest in the world in the visible range, according to the strategic command.
They don't think anyone can bring down this country without giving the Union a chance to rebel. The Army may have a little problem, but it certainly won't be a problem in the end.
About the reform of the social insurance system, someone has been working on more detailed details. From what he has learned so far, there should not be too many problems.
And the final infrastructure, as long as the federal government gives up some profit points, the capitalists are willing to pay for these needs.
In fact, rather than saying that there is something that can't be done about these things, it's more that Lynch's question is "Would you like to step back on certain issues"!
Mr. Trueman smiled, "Yeah, is there anything we can't do?"
He didn't think about it, he just felt that Lynch's words seemed to have more meaning, but he didn't think about it for a while.
After missing the topic, he asks again, "These are questions I shouldn't actually be asking..."
There are only the two of them in the rear compartment, and there is a sealed partition between the cab and the compartment, and the raised soundproof bulletproof glass turns the compartment into two separate rooms.
Mr. Trueman's expression is odd, and he doesn't know what emotion he should show.
He's become too much in the past few years as he goes from a staff member to a presidential candidate!
When you were in the army, right was right and wrong was wrong. You could reserve the right to question the orders of your superiors, but you had to obey them.
Simple, straightforward, this is the military.
But in politics, some things are not so simple.
You have to learn to say some idealistic words, you have to learn to guess the meaning behind every sentence of your Shangguan, you have to get along with people you don't like, you have to...learn to deceive yourself.
He doesn't like those people and wants to get together with them and hold the glass high for those he doesn't even like, even now!
The trance in his eyes came and went quickly, he sighed lightly, "Those people, do you have anything...", he pursed his lips, "...you know what I mean, they are right Any thoughts on the current situation?"
Lynch pondered for a while before realizing who Mr. Trueman was talking about.
The case of the Duncan family is still in trial, and evidence is being collected and sentencing. In the Duncan family's case, "justice" and "correct procedure" have become the core issues.
Even these two demands have surpassed the investigation and trial of the Duncan family, and the Commonwealth needs the public to recognize these—
The law must be fair, and whoever breaks the law will surely get the justice they deserve.
And after these superficial things, the transmission of benefits did not stop.
Lynch took over, and now uses Congressman Langdon as a hub to begin channelling benefits to members of Congress.
The method is still the same as before. They will introduce those members to buy some financial products of the foundation, and then get a share of money from the foundation every cycle.
This is a financial investment. Even if it is exposed, no one can say that they have committed a crime. The source of every income can be found out!
Only those who are actually responsible for these things know that these are not ordinary things.
Mr. Trueman didn't like these people and had to watch Lynch do it the way he did before.
Because behind this stuff, there are two parties!
Progressives and Conservatives!
No matter how the president of the federal government changes, whether members of the Capitol come or go, bipartisan committees will not change!
There will always be people who keep coming here and take a penny from Lynch, they deserve it!
And this is the core rule of the Federation, the coexistence of capital and power!
On the other hand, Mr. Trueman himself can understand these situations.
For example, he now needs to hold various parties, political themed salons or participate in various activities.
Those members of Congress need to do the same, the federal government may only pay them enough to live on, if there is no other way to get money...
Maybe they won't be able to actually work at all!
So at this time, benefit transfer appeared.
Capitalists give them money in exchange for their voice in federal politics.
After they get the money, they can socialize normally, organize various activities, parties, research and even visit grassroots cities.
Without money, they can't do anything.
Mr. Truman is sick of this practice ~IndoMTL.com~ Capital keeps corrupting politicians with money, but he also knows people can't live without it.
He tried not to think about it, but he suddenly remembered this question and started chatting with Lynch.
"Very good!" Lynch smiled. "Whether it's the 'surviving' congressmen or the new ones, there is no resistance to these."
"You know, very few people can resist this temptation, and they do need it."
"Sometimes it's not just wealth, it's a process of building relationships. There's too much that they can't refuse, so from the beginning, no one refuses!"
Lynch is not responsible for the entire transfer of benefits, he is only responsible for part of it. After becoming a senator, Senator Langdon has been constantly moving in different political groups.
He also kept pulling some people over to stand on his side, or on Lynch's side.
Only need to vote for Lynch when necessary, not only get a quarterly sum of money, but also expand your network in Parliament and the entire political arena, why do people refuse?
