Blackstone Code Chapter 667: Lynch’s way of persuasion

Text 0667 Lynch's way of persuasion

Tripod

While Green Face faced some trouble, Lynch was having dinner with a senator.

The place they chose was very special. There was only one table like them in the empty restaurant. There were three people at the table.

Outside the window is the night view of Bupen, and the whole city comes into view.

Lights, night scenes, and starry sky are perfectly integrated.

The price of every meal in this private restaurant on the top of the hill can send the head of a family having a heart attack.

In addition to Lynch and Mr. Trueman, there is only one senator left, who is also a member of the Military Appropriations Committee.

There are many committees in the Federal Congress, among which the committee belonging to the House of Lords is more well-known is the "Military Appropriation Committee".

The main job of the Military Appropriation Committee is to approve the various budgets submitted by the Department of Defense and the military every year, and then select some of them for appropriation, and select some for rejection. Generally speaking, if the defense and the military want money, they want a lot money, they would have to convince the majority of the committee.

The water here is very deep, but the real taxpayers of the federal government do not know. About two to five percent of the funds approved by the Military Appropriations Committee each year will be distributed to each individual in various ways. in the hands of a member.

For example, a committee member only accepts lobbying from a special lobbying group, and the main members of this lobbying group are his relatives or even his son.

To convince him, you need to hire this lobbying group. Hiring them is asking for money, and the amount of money to be paid depends on the budget that the Department of Defense and the military want to pass.

This is what people see as shady or black-box operations, but it's so simple, the undisguised red fruit is displayed in the sun, and people turn a blind eye to it.

Those who know it won't say these things, and people who don't know it will never understand that those congressmen who refuse to give money most of the time are giving less - it's really just a joke, everyone knows Congress Members of Congress work day and night for the federation, which is not the case with them.

In any case, a member of the Military Appropriation Committee is a very important position. At the same time, some heavyweight military-industrial groups in the Federation are also involved. If they want to sell their weapons to the federal defense and military, they must first let Their merchandise goes into the Armament Inventory, which is then approved by the Military Appropriations Committee.

In the process they will do everything in their power to convince everyone that this is big business!

In short, every committee member who has dedicated his life to the country and the people has worked hard.

As to why they are rich, that is another matter.

Like now, the clothes worn by the congressman sitting opposite Lynch are worth fifty thousand dollars. You must know that this is the Federal Sol, not the Galil that has no value.

According to the current federal "Minimum Hourly Wage Law", the minimum monthly income of an ordinary unskilled worker is about 240 yuan, which is more than ten yuan more than before.

They can only get a salary of close to 3,000 yuan a year, and they won't be able to afford this senator's outfit unless they eat for about 18 years.

What's even more irritating is that this outfit is only one of the dozens of outfits in this senator's family. He can keep a person going without food or drink for more than ten or twenty years anytime, anywhere.

Sure enough, these sacrifices are worthwhile for the freedom of the Commonwealth and the equality of the people.

"I've heard about this project, the military committee passed it, but some of us don't think it's appropriate to launch it now.", while enjoying the expensive dinner, the senator chatted what they are talking about.

The project he mentioned was a project submitted by the Navy before. During the naval battle against Gevra, the Navy found many problems, such as the general low military quality of sailors, such as the design of some capital ships. Some flaws, such as...

There are many such examples. After finding the problem, find out the most critical ones, and then apply for military funds for transformation.

But some projects are not so easy to pass, and these committee members don't give the green light every time for money, and occasionally they have some persistence.

They won't approve some projects that are obviously designed to deceive military spending. The reason why they have such a bottom line is that they don't want to give political opponents an excuse to attack them.

What they are discussing is the research and development plan of the aircraft.

There is still a lot of room for improvement in the performance of the Federal Navy in the aiming and positioning of the limit line of sight and beyond the line of sight, which is commonly known as not good enough.

The Federal Navy believes that this short-term gap cannot be made up by acting and training. This kind of combat capability in a variety of complex battlefield situations relies more on various experiences, rather than pure rote memorization. , of course the latter is also important.

So is there any way to make up for this obvious shortcoming?

Of course there is, that is to make the limit line of sight and beyond the line of sight into a visible line of sight, such as rapid lift-off to observe a hot air balloon is a method, but it is not high enough, and there are too many restrictions.

They turned their attention back to aircraft, and some of the increasingly mature civil aviation initially had the ability to perform free observation over the battlefield.

So a plan called "Maritime Reconnaissance Ship" appeared in the resolution of the Military Committee and was approved. Runway for takeoff and landing.

The cost is cheap, the speed is not slow, and it is easy to maintain. It can only float on the water.

In the event of a war, taking off aircraft can send back reconnaissance with onboard radio, and can also provide artillery coordinate correction for over-the-horizon range.

But the Military Appropriations Committee thought it was a **** joke, those aircraft that landed on flat ground often crashed, and now they have to put the landing place on a bumpy ship, came up with this idea The human brain must have a package.

They thought it was absurd, the technology of the aircraft was not mature enough, far from the level of military use, and this project was probably just for personal gain.

This kind of thing is often done by the military. In the past when escapism prevailed, the military seemed to be paranoid victims. They submitted many projects, and most of them were approved due to the era and political environment.

For example, establish a southern resistance line to prevent some invaders from landing from the south.

These projects waste a lot of money, and in the end they don't even use the fart and spend a lot of money every year to maintain them. There are already many groups accusing the Military Appropriation Committee of abusing its power and colluding with the military for profit.

At this stage, it is best not to approve plans that seem unreliable for the time being. After all, the election is approaching, and now any small things may be magnified.

The Conservatives have completely given up on the presidential race, but that doesn't mean they'll also give up their seats in Congress.

Lynch is also not disappointed by the direct rejection of the congressman. "Things of value should not be rejected. I firmly believe that aircraft will dominate the future battlefield."

The congressman smiled and didn't continue talking. He had heard too many similar words. This one can dominate the battlefield, that one can dominate the battlefield. A few simple words can't convince him at all.

Lynch came today not only to represent himself and Truman, but also to gain the friendship of the military. It was very difficult for the military to get stuck on this project. Lynch took the initiative to lobby.

He just has to persuade a few key people to push for change throughout the Military Appropriations Committee, and this congressman is one of them.

While manipulating the dishes on the plate gracefully, he said casually, "You may not know, I set up an aircraft research company with 15 million..."

The congressman smiled reservedly, "That has nothing to do with me, Lynch." His stance was firm, even a little hinted, "If you really want to talk about this item, I suggest waiting for the election to end. After that, Congress was a little more settled at that time, and now some people are dancing happily."

Lynch continued disapprovingly ~IndoMTL.com~ Your son will be one of the shareholders of this company. "

The congressman was stunned for a moment, he frowned, "You shouldn't do this..."

Lynch put the food into his mouth, bit it, and the tender juice was squeezed out of the fibers of the meat. Some people said that it was myoglobin, but he thought it was blood, cow blood.

He chewed, occasionally showing a touch of pink on his white teeth, he put down the knife and fork, looked at the congressman, "You probably don't know much about your son, he is unique in the design of aircraft. In order to show my respect for knowledge, I am willing to exchange a 5% stake in exchange for this blueprint.”

The congressman whose face was still a little bad once again had a very brief pause in his thinking, and the displeasure on his face disappeared in an instant, replaced by a kind of self-blame.

"You know, I've always been so busy, either in the office or in the study, that I ignored some of my family's feelings, and I didn't realize that he was so talented in this area..."

"I respect their choice, but I won't give you more convenience because of my family's participation in this matter. This is not my style."

Lynch nodded slightly, "I understand, I just said this because I didn't want to have some accidents in the future. You know, timely communication can ensure that there is no misunderstanding between us."

The assemblyman put his hands on the table with his fists folded. He nodded a few times, as if he had made a decision, "I'm sorry, I can't give you more help in this matter."

"By the way, what's the name of the project you mentioned just now?"
