1923 Run It

The list Mr. Trueman gave Lynch was not entirely filled with people who would prevent journalism professors from entering the state Senate.

Some people indeed proposed refusing to allow her to sit in parliament, while others remained silent on the issue.

Some of Lynch's previous chats with Mr. Trueman gave him a new idea.

The stick is raised and falls on others. Why should "I" be afraid?

This is like the current conflict between him and the power of capital. He has raised the butcher knife and the power of capital is already afraid, but what next?

If he puts down the butcher knife, what will the capitalists who have created fear in their hearts think?

That's it?

The knife didn't fall on his neck, his head was intact, and it didn't fall on anyone else. Isn't this scary?

They will not regard the methods of the presidential palace in this conflict as a threat. Capital is very bold, and they will test the bottom line of the federal government again and again.

What if you keep holding it up?

In fact, the result is the same. If you hold it for too long, the butcher knife will lose its deterrent effect.

What people fear is always the moment of falling.

Capitalists will eventually adapt to this high-pressure environment and become more difficult to deal with.

The butcher's knife, after it is raised, can only be cut down. Only by cutting off part of their body and making them hurt to the bones will they be afraid, fearful, and resist the next adventure!

After thinking clearly about what Lynch said and combining some of his own thoughts, Mr. Trueman believed that his methods so far were indeed too mild.

Make amends, apologize, and lose a few political spokesmen?

Is it just that for the capitalists standing behind it?

The antitrust investigation is in full swing. If no results are produced, this will become a joke!

He has used a big weapon against capital. Once he does nothing, it will only make people think that he is weak.

So he has to do something, even just a little!

Before the Great Depression, two-fifths of the seats in the Senate changed to new owners. He did not need to move so many people, only a small part was enough!

And he can also use this method to get Lynch to stand with him.

Look, there are "private goods" on the list. Lynch must know it. If he chooses to attack these people.

This is enough to let people see how strong and reliable the friendship between them is!

As for whether Lynch will choose to ignore it...

Mr. Trueman believed that this was very unlikely, and that was emboldened by the fact that he was a wartime president.

Now he has absolute control over this country!

With Lynch's intelligence, he will know what choice he has to make!

This is not "kidnapping"!

he said to himself.

Condenser immediately took action after getting part of the evidence. He was a person who hated evil and could not allow these scum to continue to stand in the highest political palace of the federation and control the country's future.

But before that, he contacted Gladstone.

There are also Progressives on this list.

As the true "core" of the Progressive Party, Lynch still has to respect him to some extent.

This is different from the previous attack on those congressmen by the Presidential Office. It was the action of the Presidential Office and had nothing to do with Lynch.

But now, and next, the person who takes action is Lynch, and he must make some preparations first.

The meeting with Gladstone was arranged in the evening.

In the two years since Gladstone came to power, he has gradually stabilized the restlessness within the Progressive Party, and he, as chairman of the committee, has finally gained some dominance.

War can solve many problems, whether foreign or domestic.

"I have expressed my intention for Catherine to serve as governor of a state at the meeting..." Gladstone said this first when they met.

This is what he owed Lynch before. Although there are some criticisms of his decision within the Progressive Party, overall, it will not affect the overall situation.

Because submission of lists and support are all ultimately decided by the president. Congress was shut down during the war. Even if everyone was dissatisfied with this matter, they were mostly dissatisfied with the president.

Lin Qi nodded slightly and sat on the edge of the bench.

The two made an appointment to meet in the park. The sun was good today. Even though they were wearing thick clothes, they still felt a clear sense of warmth while basking in the sun.

"I asked you to meet today, not to discuss this matter with you."

"In the past few days, I have heard that some people are very opposed to...the professor becoming the president of the New South Wales State Senate..."

Gladstone frowned, "You don't want to change the conditions so that I fully support this matter, do you?"

He hesitated, "This matter is too difficult and will offend many people. I'm afraid it's not convenient for me to express my position."

There is considerable resistance to this matter, and members of Congress will join forces in private.

The fact that many people seem to be silent does not mean that they are not opposed, but that they are not willing to take the lead.

When they are really needed, they will step forward immediately.

As chairman of the Progressive Party Committee, Gladstone could not ask all Progressive Party senators to consider the idea.

Because many of the opponents are from the Progressive Party.

The feminist movement has developed over the years and has always developed horizontally among the middle and lower classes of society.

The appearance of Ms. Tracy is a coincidence, a transaction, she is just an exception.

And even she cannot enter Congress.

Therefore, Gladstone was unwilling to work on this matter, and maybe there would be dissatisfaction with him within the Progressive Party.

His butt is not completely settled yet, and he will not risk his political life.

Lynch looked around. Blackstone Security people were hiding around to ensure Lynch's safety.

Even on the taller buildings nearby, there were people watching.

He turned to look at Gladstone, "This is why I asked you to come out. For those who come forward, I plan to send them down."

Gladstone frowned, "Is it necessary?"

"What's the relationship between that professor and you?"

The only thing he can think of now is that this professor has an unusual relationship with Lynch, otherwise Lynch would not support her entry into the state assembly under the pressure of "operating" the senator.

He looked Lin Qi up and down, and inexplicably had an idea in his mind that even he thought was funny.

It is said that Lynch likes older people, but this professor... wouldn't he? !

It is often said that the eyes are the windows to the soul, and Lynch saw Gladstone's ugly soul through his window.

He didn't refute. It was useless to refute this kind of thing. He had to tell the truth.

"Someone wants to deal with them, I'm just going along."

The next second, a man who seemed not easy to talk to appeared in Gladstone's mind, the current president of the Federation, Mr. Trueman.

He also vaguely realized that behind this was not only Lynch's own problem, but also Mr. Trueman's problem.

He thought about it for a while, "I will talk to them. I have to thank you for letting me know in advance..."

If Lynch didn't tell him in advance, once people came down, they would have to fight for the vacant position.

Rather than like now, it can be arranged in advance and the transition can be smooth.

If Mr. Trueman was really behind this, no one could stop it.

He has already done four, and if he does a few more, no one will think it is wrong.

The two made an appointment again and soon separated.

After returning home, Gladstone made a call to one of them within two minutes of sitting down.

Congressmen are very relaxed now. Except for those who serve as members of various committees, they are still somewhat busy. Many men without important positions are resting at home all day long.

With one phone call, people came to Gladstone's home.

A fifty-seven-year-old Progressive Party senator who is in his prime politically.

He was not too surprised that the Chairman of the Progressive Party Committee suddenly invited him to meet.

This kind of thing doesn't just happen every day, it happens once or twice a month.

As soon as he sat down, Gladstone asked, "Are you on good terms with the Jerry & Dess gang?"

Now the only one he can think of that can be used as a "target" by the president is the Jerry Deiss Consortium.

The senator was stunned for a moment and nodded, "We have had contact."

In fact, it’s more than just contact?

Every year, the 150,000 in his account comes from the Jerry Dais Group, and the money is paid into his account in the name of "investment income."

He paid taxes, it was legal, reasonable, and clean, and no matter how he spent it, no one would say anything was wrong with the money.

In such a developed capital environment in the Federation, anyone with a little bit of ability will engage in financial investment activities to a greater or lesser extent.

Just because you can't make money doesn't mean others can't make money!

But he won't take the initiative to talk about it, and no one will.

Only when necessary will someone contact him and tell him how to vote using coded codes that are insufficient as legal evidence.

This is the simple work and life of a congressman.

Gladstone sighed softly, "Did you know that their relationship with the Presidential Palace has been very tense recently?"

The senator nodded, "I heard."

Gladstone: "Have you considered changing your job temporarily?"

The senator was stunned for a moment, "I don't quite understand what you mean, Mr. Chairman."

He used honorifics. In terms of age, Gladstone was a few years younger than him, but he used honorifics. He also realized that he might be facing a problem.

Gladstone was unwilling to continue playing riddles with him and simply explained the matter.

Because someone wants to clean up the Jerry Dais Consortium, and by the way, these "political spokespersons" will also be implicated.

But the matter has not yet gotten out of hand. He can resign voluntarily, thus giving up his position as a senator in a political exchange.

And he can also work in another place, such as going to a certain state to become the speaker or something.

In a few years, after Mr. Trueman leaves office, he may not have the opportunity to return to Congress...
