Chapter 1657 I have a bad feeling

The Mariro reconstruction project is up for bids.

The whole capital society is paying attention to this matter, and the multi-billion projects can provide a lot of profits for the federal capitalists, but also can provide more jobs.

The most important thing is that these projects can be said to be profitable!

Since it is a lucrative project, naturally everyone wants to join in and share a bowl of thick soup.

This requires bidding.

The entire board of directors was talking about this aspect all morning, summarizing one aspect of its own advantages and hiding some uncompetitive parts.

Then there is consolidation and redistribution, and finally a document like "what can we do" and "what are our advantages".

In this way, when different engineering projects are released, the company can immediately give the most optimized and most competitive solutions.

In addition to formal means, some off-site means also need to be used, such as chatting with the gentlemen of Congress.

Reconstruction of Mariro A related committee was established in Congress, the Mariro Urban Redevelopment Commission.

There are a total of 24 members, including 18 Senators and 6 Representatives.

This committee will be responsible for the specific work related to the reconstruction of Mariro.

This is also the most distinctive point of the federation. Sometimes the president's words don't work very well!

In fact, this is also the result of Mr. Truman's initiative to delegate power. During the war, the president's privileges were highly concentrated, and Congress basically became a decoration.

If the relationship between each other is not eased at this time, the congressmen and gentlemen will be very dissatisfied, and the two parties will also be dissatisfied.

You can't eat meat and drink soup, even wipe the oil on the bottom of the pot and throw it into your mouth, leaving nothing behind, right?

Mr. Truman's willingness to maintain and respect the tradition of federal politics in this matter has been highly recognized by Congress!

If Mariro's reconstruction project is worth 35 billion, then in the end, about 100 to 300 million will flow into the pockets of the congressman in various forms.

They are fighting not only for actual political power, but also for wealth!

Meanwhile, Congressman Langdon is battling it out.

"At that time we must unite the front, but it is me, or whoever of you, we must take a place in this!"

In the congressional lounge dedicated to the activities of these senators and even capitalists, Senator Langdon is doing the final work.

Now there are twenty-six people in his small group, which is already a considerable force in the Congress.

The Baylor Federation's congressional seat system recommends two people according to each state government, and increases or decreases according to the proportion of the population of each state. At first, there were only more than 100 seats.

However, with the increasing number of immigrants, the current federation has a total of 311 seats, and it is possible that another 24 to 34 seats will be added in the second half of this year.

Although the specific reason has not been announced by Congress, some senators have already known it in advance, and that is Marillo.

The federal government has said it has no plans to annex Mariro, but in fact they are doing it.

Marilo is not quite the same as Nagalil. Nagalil is far away from the Federation, and whether it gets better or worse has no direct impact on the Federation—

This refers to the geographic impact.

It is impossible for the Nagalils to throw off their legs and rush into the Federation from Nagalil to wreak havoc, but the Marillos can.

They are the only bordering country of the Federation, and if they allow this country to continue to act according to their own ideas, it is the greatest irresponsibility for the security of the Federation.

But with some international influence in mind, Mr. Trueman has proposed a long two-year plan.

For twenty years, the Confederacy has not actively interfered in Mariro's government, at least on the surface.

But in actual life, the Federation will increase its control over Mariro society through various means, such as capital colonization.

Then gradually let the Mariro people have a sense of identity and belonging to the federation, and in the end, they will let the Mariro people hold a referendum and completely annex Mariro!

This is not a whimsical approach, but it is quite possible!

From the current point of view, this part of the people in the south of Mariro, which is close to the federation, has become very dependent on the federation, and they have all volunteered to join the federation.

The federal government has rejected these people on the grounds that it has not opened ordinary labor immigration for the time being.

These people are innately close to the Federation, so naturally they will be able to play more roles in future referendums, so the federal government will not currently support them to join the federal nationality.

As long as they adapt, depend, and cannot do without the capital society of the Federation, they will eventually know how to choose!

And they've been messing around for so long, it's time to stop.

In order to do all the work well in advance, after these seats are added, a standing committee will be established to be responsible for matters related to Mariro.

By that time, there will be 345 seats in Congress, and as for next year, there may be more seats.

The outbreak of the World War made some rich people in the member countries of the World Development Committee begin to immigrate to the Federation. Although the Federation prohibits the poor from entering, they do not restrict the rich from joining!

And a wealthy family often brings hundreds or even thousands or more people, such as their immediate family members and servants who provide services for them.

Like some nobles, they even brought the cook here!

An increase in population is bound to increase seats, but that's a good thing for everyone.

That means there are more politicians who can aspire to one of the pinnacles of federal politics.

Therefore, this small group of Senator Langdon already has nearly one-tenth of the total seats!

Apart from those tools of the Socialist Party who only abstain from voting and symbolize the free will of Congress, one-tenth is a relatively reliable number!

Congressman Langdon is a must-win for this member of the Mariro Reconstruction Committee. He looked at everyone and clenched his fists hard, "This is very important to us. If we can get a position, our strength in Congress will be reduced. It's going to be bigger!"

After all, the capitalists will be more enthusiastic about the reconstruction projects involving billions of dollars, and the more they can get!

Everyone said yes, and some agreed with Senator Langdon.

The meeting ended quickly, and Senator Langdon's idea was to lock everyone in this room and not give them a chance to get out until Congress officially started.

That way no one else will lobby these people and there will be no "betrayal".

But he can't do it!

The Commonwealth is a nation of free will, and if you don't let them go, they'll get angry.

This is also one of the biggest features of Congress—

Anyone can be "insured"!

At the end, Senator Langdon also aggravated his attitude. He said that "Mr. Lynch also hopes that we can have some results", which may make them somewhat apprehensive.

when they want to make a different decision.

At this point, there are still twenty minutes before the official convocation of Congress.

Coming out of the lounge, Senator Langdon lit a cigarette.

He has stated that he can even give up being a commissioner, and if someone wants to come forward, he can vote for someone else.

What he should say and do has already been done, and there should be no problem.

While smoking, he smiled and nodded to the gentlemen around him who were also smoking. He glanced back at the countless doors.

In every lounge, all kinds of negotiation, fornication, and betrayal are going on!

Five minutes before the convention, Senator Langdon seemed to have thought of something, approached the Speaker, and asked a common-sense question.

"Your Excellency Speaker, regarding the selection of the newly established committee members, shall we still vote with a show of hands?"

The speaker was a little surprised, but still explained, "Nomination and voting are separate, nomination is open, but voting will be anonymous, is there any problem?"

Senator Langdon froze for a moment, and immediately realized that something had changed.

Although he is more or less an old man, in fact, it only took two years for him to truly integrate into this system.

In the past two years, no standing committees have been established, they are all temporary committees.

Whether it is the election of members of the temporary committee or the voting on the motion, most of the time it is a show of hands, and a few times it is filled out anonymously.

The purpose of this is to let the opposition come forward and tell the supporters why I am against it.

For example, the promotion of a proposal, some people put forward these proposals, and then discussed at the General Assembly, and finally voted.

With anonymous voting, supporters would never know who to turn to to resolve the issue.

For example, "Why do you object?" and "What is the reason for your objection?" If these issues are not resolved, the motion will always be stuck in opposition.

The same is true for the establishment of the temporary committee. UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com You object, what are the reasons for objecting, and what makes you make such a decision.

The same is true for the selection of members of the temporary committee. You have to say who you support and who you oppose, so that others can agree or refute you.

However, the selection of members of the Standing Committee is somewhat different. Anyone can publicly nominate certain people to be included in this large list.

Each person is then voted on, and the eighteen senators and six members of the House of Representatives with the most supporters can become members of the standing committee.

The specific process of expressing support or non-support is not public, which gives you a lot of room for manipulation.

Senator Landon wondered if this was done on purpose or for some other reason.

At this time, it was too late to make any adjustments. He walked into the conference hall, found his own seat, and sat on it.

His expression was a little solemn, and he vaguely felt that the selection of the personnel list this time would not be so simple and easy...
