Members of Congress are actually no different from the president and other politicians.
As a new senator entering Congress, there must be cooperation from many forces behind it, and it will cost a lot of money to promote this matter.
Therefore, the people behind these senators often have relatively clear political demands at the beginning.
For example, when Lynch pushed Senator Landon into Congress, there would be some requirements.
For example, how to decide when encountering a problem, for example, when to help Lynch push for the passage of a proposal, etc., for example, the simplest thing is to speak out for something.
This is the purpose of most capitalists. Only if there are people with enough weight to stand up for them can they live a prosperous life in the Federation.
Only through power and political means can we cover up many ugliness and even crimes!
It is very difficult to win over these new members at this stage, and the money they have spent is not in vain.
Only after two or four years have passed, when the investment costs have been recouped exponentially, and the relationship between the two parties has changed from "employment" to "cooperation", will their positions become relatively neutral and can be won over. .
The team leader's concerns are justified. Once some new faces flood into Congress, he will not be able to convince these people to side with him.
They themselves represent certain groups, how could they cause chaos as soon as they come up?
If they mess around, they won't be able to stay in Congress for long. Any little thing can make them step down!
This is a rule that will not be written in a book, a rule that is not announced to the public and has been established by convention!
After hearing this, Lin Qi also agreed, "So you already have a plan?"
The team leader nodded, "Actually, my idea is to start from the speaker's side."
"He is very old, and he knows that he will have to step down after working for another two years at most."

"He has been speaker for a long time and the stage cannot be held by everyone forever."
"If he waits for natural defeat, he won't get any benefits."
"But if we discuss it with him, he can nominate me in advance."
"He also has a group of people himself, as well as your York gang, and I have a few good friends."
"If you can support me, I can convince more people, and we can solve it in two or three rounds at most!"
The election of the Speaker cannot be done at once. It is also a direct election method and requires the consent of more than half of the seats.
These three parties add up to about 30 to 40%. As long as a trend is formed, the rest is behind-the-scenes trading.
Just like the Gladstone election, some opponents who were firm at the beginning will change their stance once the general trend becomes clear.
Given enough, they can abandon their previous position.
But there is a key here, which is to give them what they want.
Lynch's support is indispensable here, because Lynch is very rich and influential.
He can interfere with decisions in the presidential palace, which is also attractive to many politicians.
Lynch thought it sounded good. The essence of politics is compromise and transaction, not confrontation!
Politicians with opposing positions can completely abandon confrontation and cooperate directly as long as they have the right conditions.
Don’t think it’s shameful that politicians don’t have a position, because the swing angle of their position has been ridiculously wide from the very beginning!
He thought for a while and nodded slightly, "There is no problem with this matter. I will fully support you!"
The team leader showed a happy smile, "Don't worry, Lynch, you know I am a grateful person."
"Let's not talk about hypocrisy. If I become the speaker, I will support you in Congress as long as it does not harm my interests!"
Lynch asked with a half-smile, "Including letting women into the Senate?"
The team leader was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement, "As long as there are not too many people who clearly object, I will stand by your side."
It's honest, but he's also expressing a negative point of view.
Because now the majority of Congress, even the vast majority of senators, are not willing for women to tarnish the sacred Congress!
Letting professors join local councils is already their biggest concession. If professors are allowed to join Congress again, it will be the greatest humiliation to Congress!
There should be no women here, at least not yet!
Therefore, the team leader's statement that he would support it if not many people objected was bullshit given the current situation, but it left some room for maneuver.
This is also in line with what his identity says, which is full of deceit and traps, but still retains some leeway.
After a brief pause to let the topic pass, Lynch asked, "So what are you going to do next?"
The team leader obviously had a comprehensive plan, "I will contact the speaker, and then we will sit down and talk."
To get the Speaker to nod and cooperate with them, it naturally requires the transfer of benefits.
There is no more suitable candidate than Lynch, the golden sign. When he stands there, even if he does nothing, he is a shining golden presence!
Many people, especially young people, already regard Lynch and wealth as the same thing!
They think Lynch may be the richest person in the world, bar none!
Lin Qi nodded and agreed to attend this small gathering. The team leader seemed very motivated, "I will contact him first, and then I will give you the time and address..."
After seeing off the team leader, Lynch called Senator Langdon and asked him to come over.
The York Gang now has six senators, and it seems to be a very dynamic organization with a certain voice.
Senator Langdon's status also became higher and higher as the York Gang continued to expand.
Now if the governor of York State wants to replace Senator Langdon, the first thing he will face is political revenge from Senator Langdon and the York gang.
At the same time, Lynch would not give him a good life, so as long as Lynch did not speak, Senator Langdon himself did not express the need to rest.
The governor and the state assembly don't dare mess around with the list, and this also explains why when someone is kicked off the list, it means they have been given up!
Lynch chatted with him about the Senate President and the idea of bringing the team leader into the York Gang.
"I think it would be better if we were in a cooperative relationship!" After listening to Lynch's ideas, Senator Langdon gave his own suggestion.
"You know, the people in the York Gang now are basically the kind of people who don't have prominent backgrounds, and this kind of background makes us get along very well."
"The team leader is different from us. He has a distinguished background and a wide network of connections. To use some not-so-nice words, he is like a noble in the Congress, and we are civilians!"
"If you pull him in, he won't feel very comfortable, and we will become uncomfortable too!"
Yes, it is indeed a bit torturous to let a nobleman mix with a bunch of losers. Lynch nodded slightly to express his understanding.
His understanding of Congress is not that thorough, after all, his energy is focused on other things.
He then talked about several states that were about to expand. In short, the York Gang was bound to expand, and Lynch’s plan was to have at least ten senators!
This is also good news for Senator Langdon. As the York Gang grows, as the absolute core figure, he will have higher status and power, whether inside or outside Congress.
The Congress obviously does not directly participate in the government's local administrative work, but it still has extraordinary influence.
After chatting with Senator Langdon about things in Congress for a while and listening to him tell some interesting little news about Congress, Lynch asked him to leave.
He needs to know about this, because the York Gang will also need the cooperation, and Senator Langdon is very useful.
He is very aware of current affairs and knows that he is nothing without Lynch, so he has never considered it, let alone done anything to harm Lynch's interests.
Naturally, Lynch is willing to give some acceptance and recognition to such a loyal person. Respect is mutual.
After dinner that night, Lynch found an opera house and opened a box.
He actually doesn't like listening to operas, because in order to understand operas, you must first understand the entire story.
If you want to fully understand the content of the opera, you need to read the book, the libretto and the original story of the opera. This is not a simple matter.
This is also the main reason why there are more and more movie theaters but fewer opera houses!
In today's impetuous society, people just want to have fun without thinking for an hour or two, instead of learning the content of opera!
Lin Qi came here to meet with the Director-General.
After he watched for a while, the director-general came in from outside the box, "I hope I'm not too late."
Lynch asked him to sit down. After hanging his hat on the hanger, he sat down next to Lynch.
As soon as he sat down, the smell of cigarette smoke came out from his body. It was obvious that he had smoked a lot in a relatively closed environment.
It is also possible that many people are smoking together.
He then began to explain his lateness, "I had a long meeting at night, so it took a long time."
"Recently, a serial killer appeared in Bupen, which caused us a lot of headaches, and the public opinion was very fierce..."
Lynch had just come back and hadn’t heard of it yet, “Is it dangerous?”
The director-general took another cigarette and said, "It is dangerous for single women, but for men, it is not dangerous as long as they are prepared."
"He did not use thermal weapons as a killing tool, only daggers, and he only targeted women."
"With six dead so far, this bastard is starting to take on a personal style of his own."
"If we can't catch him again, it's very likely that he will hide..."
In this era and in this social environment, the federal bankruptcy rate is actually not as high as imagined.
Many serial murders have not been solved to this day, especially some cases that were only solved after the murderer took the initiative to commit suicide.
Firstly, it is because the means of investigation are limited, and secondly, it is also related to procedural justice.
Sometimes you know that some people are very suspect, but you are missing some key information, and the judicial department will not let you go through the process.
This wasted time and allowed the murderer to calmly process the scene and even some post-murder information.
After hearing this, Lin Qi felt a little emotional, "I will donate 100,000 yuan later..."
