1904 Mr. Trueman the Avenger
"Mr. Lynch..."
Senator Langdon took the initiative to say hello on behalf of everyone. He has a special status.
Lynch smiled and nodded, then said hello to the others and sat on a separate sofa.
"I know why you are here!"
His first sentence broke the minds of these people.
Then he smiled and said, "But you have to let me take a breather and have a cigarette."
He asked the little maid to pour him some water. Before the little maid could do it, a congressman trotted into the kitchen and poured a glass of water for Lynch.
As soon as Lynch put the cigarette in his mouth, Senator Langdon bent over and stuck out his butt, lighting the cigarette for Lynch.
Looking around, this is not Lynch's villa, this is simply a "small parliament"!
He took two puffs of cigarette, drank a sip of water, and seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
"You must believe in Mr. President's orders. Everything is based on factual evidence and the situation will not spread."
“The collusion between members of Congress and the forces of capital has intensified over the years.”
"Not just us, but even the homeless people on the street know that there must be some dirty things between the congressmen and the capitalists."
"I also admit this, but not everyone is like me, like you, and doesn't have too much selfishness towards this country."
Some people were stunned when they heard this. They were a little embarrassed and blushing just now, but now their expressions became indescribably weird.
Lynch caught a glimpse of a congressman standing at the back of the crowd, pointed and clicked twice, "Don't laugh, I'm telling the truth."
"I have never asked you to lean on the issue of safeguarding my personal interests, and I have basically never pushed for some legislative proposals full of private desires."
"I will not ask you to send me some internal information of the committee, or send it to a mysterious person."
"So that's what I'm saying, it's not all me, it's all you."
"We are different from them. We are purer. My will is to make this country stronger and richer."
"It is powerful so that our lives and property are safe and will not be violated."
"When it becomes rich, people can enjoy life, have more spare money to spend, and only then can I make more money."
"Our ideas and pursuits are so pure, so this fire cannot burn us."
"At the same time, I also hope that you can understand that I am not giving you money to destroy all the good things now."
"But I hope that you can do something for our people and our country after you are no longer under pressure in life and finance..."
Senator Langdon immediately began to applaud vigorously, "That's so well said, Mr. Lynch, it's touching!"
Everyone reacted and started clapping.
At first, these people's thoughts tended to be comical and absurd, but after what Lynch said, they began to reflect seriously.
It seems...what Lynch said is not wrong at all.
He will not, like other capitalists, ask them to push through legislation for various preferential policies that would help Lynch's career.
Nor will they be required to push legislation through Congress to restrict other people's businesses in order to crack down on competitors.
Never experienced any of these!
Lynch has never disdained it and really has never done this!
His position is more neutral, and he basically does not make demands on everyone, and only allows them to oppose when some people want to deal with him.
Or let them take a stand on some big issue, and most of the time it's positive.
Maybe you can laugh at Lynch for saying nice things, but you can't deny that he also does pretty things very well!
While calming these people's emotions, the phone suddenly rang.
Lin Qi apologized and walked to the corner to pick up the phone. Then he looked a little surprised and hung up the phone soon after and walked back to the living room.
"A friend is coming over later, so you can meet him. If nothing else happens, you will all become good friends in the future."
At this time, the congressmen were no longer so nervous. If Lynch said they were fine, they must be fine.
Investigations into lawmakers required the president's signature, and Mr. Lynch and Mr. Trueman were close friends.
From a certain point of view, they can actually be used by Mr. Trueman, so there is no reason to raise the knife and cut off one of his arms.
Once the atmosphere is relaxed, the mood becomes soothing and people become humorous.
Humor is the most important part of social interaction. Everyone talks and laughs.
About twenty minutes later, the doorbell rang.
Lynch asked Senator Langdon to open the door to pick up the person. Senator Langdon walked to the door and opened it. He was stunned for a moment, then smiled and returned to the living room with the person.
"Let me introduce to you our new friend, Mr. Hicks."
Lynch introduced Hicks and then introduced him to the people in the room.
When Hicks heard that the worst offenders here were members of the House of Representatives, his expression changed somewhat!
The two staff members who came with him were almost speechless!
Nearly one-tenth of the members of Congress are here with Lynch, and it can be seen that Lynch is the core of this group!
This made Hicks, who was far away from the core of Congress and politics, and his two staff almost have their balls shattered!
There is even an idea that makes them feel embarrassed!
A few days ago, they were worried about four million in political donations and considering whether to run for office. Here, there are at least three guys who can be on an equal footing with him after winning the election!
Hicks quickly responded, a member of Congress and an important political connection.
He shook hands with everyone and exchanged business cards.
Lynch returned to his throne-like sofa and sat down, crossing his legs.
He seated Hicks next to Senator Langdon.
"Continuing with our previous topic, instead of letting those who are pushed to the stage by capitalists who cannot tell their colors control the Congress, why don't we work harder!"
"We must maintain the purity of members of Congress, and we must also protect the bottom line!"
"There may be some personal issues, but on issues of principle and national issues, we must not waver..."
Lynch treated them to a meal that evening and then dismissed everyone except Senator Langdon and Hicks.
Hicks' two aides, Lynch, asked them to go back first because what they said next would not be suitable for more people to know.
After the meal, Lynch found a nice place. After taking a short rest, he looked at Hicks and asked, "What do you think of the current Congress?"
Hicks frowned. He had already had a feeling that Lynch would definitely talk to him about this.
Be prepared and answer quickly.
“I say it’s not very good, but I know that most congressmen, especially senators, are very complicated.”
"They accept donations from almost any capital force, and some people even speak for capitalists without considering right and wrong. Congress has become a supermarket, and capital is the passport here."
Lynch nodded in agreement, "That's why I invited you for an interview. I know you and have heard about some of the things you have done."
"You may not be the best, but you are already cleaner than many others."
"This has nothing to do with positions and factions..."
Hicks is very excited, Lynch has shown his strong strength.
If this group continues to develop, even if they have no faction, they will become the largest non-sectarian political group!
Hicks was very moved, but it was just instinctive. He didn't immediately agree to any of Lynch's invitations, and Lynch didn't give him any options to embarrass him.
After Hicks left, Senator Langdon, who remained silent throughout the whole process, was curious, "Do you think he is really good?"
"I don't know much about his situation, and he is still a member of the Conservative Party..."
Lynch raised his hand to stop him from continuing, but said with a half-smile, "He can control it better than others..."
Senator Langdon was stunned for a moment, then closed his mouth.
No reason can compare to this one.
The next day, the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives jointly visited the Presidential Palace. They held a closed-door meeting with Mr. Trueman for nearly more than an hour.
After the meeting, the expressions of both speakers were slightly more relaxed than when they came.
Subsequently, the President of the Senate made staged work requirements in Congress, and he expressed support for the operation to eliminate internal enemy agents.
He believes that the resolution of the Presidential Palace does not violate the spirit of the Federal Charter. On the contrary, Mr. Trueman is a federal president who has the courage to shoulder responsibilities.
He then announced that the four members would be temporarily relieved of their duties and subject to investigation, and mentioned that in order to ensure the normal operation of the work of various congressional committees.
The various agencies of the federal government will not affect their daily work arrangements due to vacancies. The President of the Senate decided to temporarily find some people to temporarily replace the work of these four people.
The same is true in the House of Representatives. Several people have been dismissed from office and are under investigation. However, the House of Representatives will select replacements from the recommendations of other members of the House of Representatives, which is different from the Senate.
Careful people have discovered that there are some big capital forces behind these people who were kicked out.
It was they who planned and implemented actions to try to separate the relationship between Lynch and the presidential office!
This is revenge, Chi Guoguo's revenge!
But there is nothing anyone can do about the decision of the Presidential Palace, because Congress is currently suspended.
If they want to overturn the decision of the presidential palace and impeach the president, they have to wait until the war is over!
Judging from the current situation, it will take at least one to two years before the war may end, but the possibility is not very high.
As long as there are still exchanges of fire in local areas, the Presidential Palace can not lift the state of war and continue to allow the president to centralize power!
Although these acts of retaliation make the capitalists extremely painful, they can only endure them.
A centralized federal president is more terrifying than a dictator!
