In a big city like Boon, the death of a person … was as normal as a cicada falling from a tree branch in autumn.
From the reports of the Boon District Police, at least a thousand people died in various vicious cases in Boon every year.
In other words, three people died almost every day. Of these three people, only one person could find out the truth of the matter within half a year.
In the next twenty years, there was only one person who could hope to catch the culprit, and one person who would forever remain "silent".
No one knew who killed him, and the murderer would never be brought to trial.
This did not include the murder cases that were closed as missing persons. People could not find the body, so it was not considered a death, only a missing person. But in fact, a large number of these people were already dead.
The craziest serial killer in the Federation was related to at least two hundred murders. No one knew why this country would always breed all kinds of strange things in the corners that people could not see.
So … no one cared about the death of a person, and this case did not seem to be that simple.
Continuing to investigate might not be a good thing.
Lynch's attention also shifted from this small episode in his life to other things, such as … the Golden Alliance.
"I didn't expect you to argue about the name for so long!"
Sitting in Mr. Trumann's office, the two chatted. Now that Lynch's identity was an "economic expert", such a large international trade and monetary organization would definitely need some advice from Lynch.
Just now, Mr. Trumann talked about the recent work situation. This was the most important work in the Federation government's foreign policy.
But just as they started, they encountered a small problem.
What should the name of this alliance be?
At first, Mr. Trumann wanted to use the "Golden Alliance" proposed by Lynch as its name, but then he thought about it. After the Silver Alliance, it would be the Golden Alliance, which would give people a very awkward feeling.
Just like the collapse of the Silver Alliance and the Silver Alliance was completely to make way for the Golden Alliance, some consultants thought that this would deepen the international fear of the Federation occupying a more active position in the international community.
The sentence was a little long, and to shorten it, it would make people feel that the Federation wanted to interfere in everything. Not only did they want to interfere, but they also wanted to flip the table.
This was not a good performance. From the very beginning, the Federation government's international relations policy was formulated. The Federation was supposed to be a neutral country, a country that was reasonable.
Then, the name Golden Alliance could no longer be used. Thus, a group of people started brainstorming names. They wanted to highlight the special status of the Federation in the Alliance, as well as the spirit of a great nation.
If there was one thing that was the most difficult, it would be naming it.
Everyone had their own way of interpreting words. Perhaps the same name had different meanings in different people's eyes. Some were good, some were bad.
Compared to other people's ideas, they preferred their own ideas. Because of this, some consultants argued endlessly, and it had become a small joke in the International Affairs Department during this period.
Those consultants who were usually very friendly and would go out together after work were now obviously having some … problems with each other.
After Mr. Trumann talked about what happened here with a smile, he asked casually, "If it were you, what would you name it?"
Lin Qi thought about it seriously. "Actually, we can take this matter apart and look at it."
"We don't have to add the words of the Bayer Federation or directly related to the Bayer Federation in the name, or any other implied content."
"This is an international organization. If we want more people to accept it, we have to make it look like it's not a tool of a certain person or a certain group of people. At least it looks that way."
"Then it should have a simple, popular name that can reflect its core value."
Lynch pursed his lips and thought for a moment. "World Development Committee!"
Mr. Trumann was stunned. Then, he frowned and began to seriously think about the name of the organization.
Without considering some other factors, he had to admit that "World Development Committee" was definitely much better than a stupid name like "Bayer Joint Conference for the Promotion of International Financial Order"!
Much more!
Simple, popular, easy to understand, and most importantly, it would give people a feeling of "this organization is f * cking awesome" when they heard it.
Sometimes, feelings were very important, especially the feeling of the first time.
It was just that … this name could not reflect the status of the Bayer Federation. Even if Mr. Trumann liked the name very much, in the end, everyone would still have to discuss it, and there would definitely be people who would disagree.
He looked at Lynch. "How do we reflect our value?"
Lynch was very relaxed. "We don't need to reflect it in the name of the organization. That's a superficial approach …"
Mr. Trumann agreed with Lynch's statement very much. He also did not like this superficial approach, but he soon realized that he could not like it, but other people not only liked it, but also needed it.
This was not a contradictory statement. The people of the Federation needed a sense of pride. Pride was a very intangible thing. It was not a fifty-cent coin that could be held in the palm of one's hand and truly feel its existence.
Pride was very elusive. It was just a state, and it happened to satisfy all the conditions for people to be proud.
If an important international organization had something to do with the Federation and was dominated by the Federation, then pride would make the Federation feel very proud.
Not only that, but many places had similar needs. After the prevalence of escapism, the entire Federation society, including the individuals in the society, was in fact pursuing a kind of recognition.
The purpose of the country more actively participating in international affairs was perhaps recognition.
This name was very good, but it was not superficial enough. It seemed a little funny, but sometimes it was a hurdle that could not be bypassed.
Lynch seemed to have guessed Mr. Trumann's thoughts. His words took a turn. "… However, we have other ways to connect it to us. This is what I said at the beginning. Let's take it apart."
"International organizations and the process of establishing international organizations are one, but we can take them apart."
"For example, we will sign the Treaty of Bupenn with a number of countries in the core city of the Bailey Federation, Bupenn. According to the content of the treaty, the World Development Committee will be established."
Lynch's hands rested on the armrests on both sides of the chair. His fingertips were pressed against each other, and his gaze was slightly higher than his fingertips. He looked at Mr. Trumann. "As long as the World Development Committee does not have any problems, the better it is run, the more people will know about the Treaty of Bupenn and our role in this matter."
"It will also be written into the development of world history. Each of us will become a page that cannot be ignored in the history of the world because of it!"
Mr. Trumann had already understood what Lynch meant. He was a very practical person, and also a person with ideals, persistence, and pursuits.
He never felt that he would be happy for things like fame and fortune. He was not that superficial.
But at this moment, he was tempted.
Under his auspices, yes, the whole process would be under his auspices. This meant that his photo would appear on a page of the world's history books, just like those great people in the past.
Below it would be written his contributions to the world, and the most important one was the "World Development Committee"!
"I think this is a very good idea!"
Mr. Trumann gave a very high evaluation. He thought of something and asked with a smile, "Do you want a place?"
He meant that his name would be left on the official document, which also meant that he could also become "history."
Lynch let go of his hands indifferently and pressed them on the armrests. "It doesn't matter. If there is, I will be happy. If not, I won't be sad."
"You have a good attitude, not like a young man at all. Young people should strive for it."
Mr. Trumann laughed. He quickly recorded Lynch's statement in the notebook at hand. He would go back and convince the consultants. He felt that this could satisfy the Federation's need for secrecy.
After recording this content, they continued to talk about other small issues about this matter.
"In the past two days, we have revealed this trend to the public. Some countries are willing to join us. So far, twenty-two countries have expressed their intentions."
"Maybe on the day we officially announce our establishment, more people will join us. There are a lot of things that are giving me a headache now."
Mr. Trumann leaned back as he spoke. There were some things he could only complain or complain to Lynch. He was the department's, and even the Federation's, first person in charge of international policy.
If he showed the emotion of "I don't know what to do" or "I'm also in a difficult position" in other places, it would soon affect others.
"All kinds of very messy details and tedious things are bothering me, such as the location of the headquarters."
"Some people say it should be in Boone, and some say it shouldn't be in Boone. There are many people who support different choices for each issue."
"It's very important. We all know it very well, so it's difficult for me to casually choose some opinions to support. I have to seriously consider whether each choice should be supported, and then consider whether supporting this choice is beneficial for us..."
"My head is about to explode. Maybe now I can understand some of the reasons why you don't want to go into politics!"
Lynch looked at him with a smile. "This is just a sign of inexperience. After this formation work is over, when we encounter similar problems in the future, you will soon figure out what we should do."
"This is a kind of growth!"
"The world needs growth, and so do we!"
