"I suggest we adjourn the meeting for now..." The representative of the League Games took out a handkerchief to wipe off the sweat on his forehead. The development of the situation was out of his control in an instant.
It was not up to him to decide whether to support the development of the incident or to stop it and start over. He had to wait for the higher-ups of the Transportation Union to reach a consensus before making a decision.
Everyone knew the stance of the representative of the League Games, so there was no need for a decision to be made during the meeting.
It took less than an hour from the beginning to the end. As soon as the meeting was over, the young representative of the Transportation Union immediately called the York State branch to report some of the problems that had occurred during the meeting.
On the other side, someone approached Lynch as soon as he left the hotel.
"Mr. Lynch, Mr. Adelaide would like to invite you to lunch. Do you have time?"
The person was wearing a rather old-fashioned formal suit. Old-Fashioned referred to the fact that the suit did not have any trendy lines or color patches. Formal suits could also be trendy, such as the fabric, the background color, and the way some corners were treated.
This person was dressed very old-fashioned, which allowed the people of the Federation to display their special talent. Just like how they could easily distinguish between police officers and agents, people could also tell at a glance that these people were government workers.
Old-Fashioned was to make them look more mature. Working in the government sector, especially in the middle and lower levels, maturity was a very important label.
They could rigidly follow the rules and regulations and do everything rigidly, but they could not jump out of the box, be unconventional, or be different from the rest.
When the former did something wrong, people would think that the mistake came from the matter itself. The process of implementation could not keep up with the times. People would say that the person implementing the rules was not flexible enough, but that was all.
However, when the latter did something wrong, people would have the feeling that "I knew he would do something wrong," or "He never follows the rules, so he will definitely make a mistake," and so on. This kind of feeling was actually very fatal.
Therefore, it was better to be rigid than to be distinctive. This was the kind of rule and system that low-level government workers had to follow.
Lynch stood on the side of the road and looked at Lynch from head to toe. At this time, the sergeant had already brought some people to surround Lynch and the people who were chatting with him.
This time, Lynch came out with some employees of Blackstone Security, or rather, security and bodyguards. Because he had expressed some radical views in some radical salons, many people knew him, including those who opposed him.
Some people supported and some people opposed. This was normal, but some things could not be viewed from a normal perspective, such as some things related to politics.
Some people might have some pessimistic doomsday ideas, and they always felt that some ideas would destroy the world. In order for the world to continue to exist, they would have to destroy those dangerous ideas.
Attacks due to differences in thoughts and opinions were not uncommon in history. Therefore, after Bu Payne returned, Lynch had more bodyguards around him.
Lynch to be........................................................
........... to...... to.... to...........
Although the attitude of the other party was a little uncomfortable, he could only endure it.
Not long after, Lynch arrived at a small, secluded restaurant where he met Adelaide.
Adelaide was already sitting at the table. With the help of the restaurant waiter, Lynch quickly took his seat.
.. "I want to thank you, Mr. Adelaide..." Lynch shook his napkin and thanked him.
Adelaide smiled and waved his hand. "I didn't do anything. You have to believe that the law is just and will give people the fairest trial."
They were talking about Vivian's case. Small cases like this involved big cases and could also be independent. There was no need for a jury or anything. The final result was completely up to the judge's subjective judgment and the final decision.
This also meant that Vivian could be guilty or innocent.
The governor had previously said that the case of Christopher Group would be strictly investigated. In fact, he had already set the tone for these dispensable crimes. They were all guilty.
Fortunately, someone had intervened. The judge dismissed the state prosecutor's lawsuit on the grounds of insufficient evidence and insufficient motive. Vivian was therefore acquitted.
If Adelaide hadn't said hello, Vivian might have started her prison term by now.
A word of thanks quickly dispelled the feeling of unfamiliarity between the two. After the main course was served, they began to talk about some more important things.
"Among the documents sent by Bob Payne to York State, there was a free trade license. You were the first..." He kept looking at the young man in front of him. It was still hard to believe that he had moved the president and Trumann the first time he met them.
"I'm curious. How did you persuade them? Is it convenient for you to talk about it?"
Adelaide said as he raised his hands slightly. "Let me make one thing clear first. I won't tell anyone about this. I'm just curious. I may need to use this content in the next stage of the national policy analysis. Is it convenient for you to talk about it?"
Lynch thought for a moment and nodded. "Of course, if you pay attention to my speech at Bob Payne during this period and some of the problems that are happening in the country, you will understand better than me that we need to win!"
We need to win. This seemed to be a statement that had nothing to do with everything, but in fact, it pointed directly to the dilemma that the Bailey Federation was facing and the way to solve it. Victory!
Economic setbacks, diplomatic setbacks, international setbacks, national strategy setbacks … The Federation had failed too many times over the years. People were infinitely eager for a victory to change the situation.
There was nothing more exciting than winning. Lynch proposed economic war, international trade hegemony, and plundering under unequal conditions in some radical salons to make people feel this atmosphere.
We need to win, and we can also create victory!
With the resources obtained from the outside world feeding back to the Federation, people's confidence would return. The invincible, energetic, and invincible "Ariedai" in people's hearts would also return.
We need a victory, a big victory. Lynch's radical remarks did seem very radical, but this was exactly what the Federation needed the most. This was also why he could move Trumann and the president.
In fact, in the end, the Progressive Party and the Conservative Party were essentially the manifestations of social and international needs of the same era.
When people began to be cautious, the Conservative Party would appear.
When people began to want to try something new, the Progressive Party would come to power.
Many times, the birth of national strategy was not the imagination of a person or a political group. It was a natural evolution of domestic social demands.
If people were not afraid of war, not afraid of participating in international affairs, and not afraid of sacrifice, the Conservative president would not have come to power six years ago, and his isolationism would not have been reciprocated.
Perhaps people would have chosen the president of the Progressive Party, and the Federation might have participated in more international affairs and broken heads with other countries.
Now that the Federation had confirmed that isolationism and conservatism had no soil to survive in the new era, the Progressive Party had to stand up.
Now people still tended to be conservative in their contacts with the international community, so the president was a moderate.
But a moderate could not be a moderate all his life. If there was a need, he could also be a radical or a hardliner. Changing him did not require a complicated political environment, as long as "people needed it" was enough.
Lynch gave him a different solution from the current one, and let him see people's desire for victory. So why not try it?
With Trumann adding fuel to the fire, Lynch was soon approved to engage in international free trade.
These things were not complicated in nature. With Adelaide's ability, experience, and experience, it would not take long for him to figure it out, but he still had to ask Lynch face to face because his time was tight.
He could not put all his energy into one thing, and he had to take care of all the big and small things happening in the state.
Sometimes, Adelaide's chief of staff was more like a governor than a governor. At least they knew what was happening in the state every day. The governor only knew what he had to do next, and what he had to do was planned by Adelaide's chief of staff.
After thinking for a while, Adelaide almost understood. He looked at Lynch with more emotion. "You are braver than I thought. Do you know how dangerous this is?"
Lynch shrugged. He cut a piece of beef and stuffed it into his mouth. The fresh and tender meat juice had a more delicious taste than the seasoning. After swallowing it, he smiled and said, "I know, but there are always some things that need some people to do."
"If you don't stand up, I won't stand up. When we want others to stand up, others also want us to stand up. If we all wait, we will never see victory."
"Compared to being disappointed in every hope, I want to win with my own hands more!"
Lynch's high spirits were very emotional. In fact, what he was doing was very dangerous. Once he made a mistake in his judgment of the international situation, he was likely to become a scapegoat for some policies.
Of course, this was also in line with Lynch's nature of pursuing profits as a businessman. If he did not fail and really ushered in a victory, then it would be a terrible victory!
Adelaide put down his knife and fork and raised his glass. "I wish you success."
Lynch also raised his glass. "I wish the Federation success!"
