Blackstone Code

Chapter 1886: conversation

People, with something in the way, become fragile.

Human beings are invincible when they are born, it is because the more obstacles they have, the more fragile they are.

Joanna is not a fool, and of course she may not be very smart, but she will not feel that she is stupid, nor will she be deceived so easily.

The doctor took hold of most of her weaknesses, plus her twisted desire for health and an equally twisted fear of illness.

Between sex, courtship, fear and emotion and chemistry, she agrees to give the doctor some investment.

It's actually pretty funny, but it's not that funny!

Lynch's mother, Sierra, shared Joanna's concerns.

She does charity, runs a factory, and is also afraid of getting cancer.

She even decided to cut off her own mammary glands and parenting place for this!

It's not just her, many women in the upper class are very afraid of the torture of these diseases, pain, pain, just an insignificant part of their fear.

What they're really afraid of is that these are terminally ill, and terminally ill means they're going to die.

When many people in the middle and lower classes of society are lying on the hospital bed and are about to close their eyes, they will sigh with emotion—relieved.

They will shed some tears, completely let go of their defenses against society, their families, and everything as human beings, let go of their humbleness and care, just like they did when they came, and no longer have any concerns.

Clean and pure makes their souls jump for joy, it's not tears of sorrow, it's tears of joy!

Finally, I no longer have to carry the weight of this filthy world. Isn't this something we should be happy about?

But for the rich, for the upper class, death means that everything they own, everything above society will be recycled, and they will lose it.

They are afraid of death, not just death, but also the fear of losing these privileges and identities!

Contrary to the middle and lower classes in society, when the moment of death comes, most of them will be uneasy, and some will even be very distorted!

And the tears in the corners of their eyes were tears of fear!

Perhaps everything said in the Nagalil myth is reflected at this moment, and the burden-bearers will unload their burdens and fly into the kingdom of God to enjoy eternal joy and well-being.

And those who are in power, those who are superior, will fall into the abyss and suffer eternal torture...

The more powerful a person is, the richer he is, the more status he has, the more he fears death!

Joanna is also afraid of death, so investing can make her stronger, why not?

The doctor prescribed a figure of 200,000, and then explained where the 200,000 would be used.

In fact, Joanna didn't know what it was, and she didn't know what it was useful for, but she liked the doctor's attitude very much, which showed that he didn't try to deceive herself.

She took another puff of cigarette, "Next month, now that the money has just been paid out, someone will be dissatisfied."

The doctor just nodded, and didn't insist that it must be done immediately. He knew very well that some things had to be done slowly.

In the evening, when Joanna returned to the presidential palace, it was past ten o'clock, and Mr. Truman was sitting on the bed reading a book.

It was getting colder, and although there was a heater in the room, Mr. Truman didn't like to turn it up too high.

When he was young he liked cooler temperatures, as he got older, though not as hardy as he was when he was younger.

But if you turn on the heating too high, you will also have a headache when you go out.

The meteorological side infers that next month, Bupain will reach zero or below, and the temperature will drop quickly.

Sitting on the bed, covered with a quilt, is actually quite comfortable.

"Sorry, I can't do something today." Mr. Truman originally planned to go, but things on Penteo's side were delayed.

A large number of Lynch's night vision goggles have already left Hong Kong, and the war will break out completely within five days at most.

The federal military intends to open the situation at once, and soldiers are heading to Penteo by boat in a steady stream.

There are already a lot of people over there, and others are waiting.

Once the battle breaks out, the one million army gathered on the Nagalil side will be transported quickly. At that time, more than one million people will cooperate with the "internal" manpower, and it must be won in one battle.

The transfer of millions of people will involve many things, many of which require the signature of the president.

Mr. Truman is an ideal politician, but he is able to recognize the reality. He did not completely delegate power because of his deep relationship with the military.

He will carefully read every document that requires his personal signature.

This is responsible for the person who submitted the document, and also responsible for yourself.

So if you delay, you miss the time.

Joanna was in a good mood today. She smiled and said indifferent words with an indifferent expression, "It's okay, it went very successfully."

The subtext is that it doesn't matter whether Mr. Truman goes or not, but it can also be seen as a kind of comfort for Mr. Truman to break the appointment.

As for how to analyze it, it depends on what Mr. Truman thinks at this time.

Joanna took off her clothes and changed into a convenient nightdress at home, then walked to the bathroom.

After a while, she sat in front of the dressing table to maintain her skin.

Today she found that compared with her peers, although her skin was not bad, it was not very good.

She has a sense of urgency.

In the first forty years of her life, she didn't do a single thing she wanted to do. Now, she had to live for herself.

Mr. Truman doesn't want to continue to waste energy on the relationship between husband and wife. He is tired enough, so he will ask directly if he has anything.

"How much did you raise today?"

Joanna glanced at Mr. Truman in the mirror, and modeled the number, "More than ten million."

"So much?" Mr. Truman was a little surprised. He thought it was a few million at most, but he didn't expect it to be more than ten million.

Seeing his surprise, Joanna smiled again, "Those arms dealers donated a lot!"

Mr. Truman's expression was a little dignified, "How much did Lynch donate?"

Joanna thought for a while, and decided to tell the truth. This kind of thing cannot be hidden from others, let alone her husband is now the president of the Federation.

Two seconds later, the shocking number was said, "Five million!"

As smart as Mr. Truman, he understood what Lynch meant in an instant. He was doing good to many ways, in a very special way.

At the same time, this also made Mr. Truman feel a little bad, because the money was too much, and because of the money, the fundraising became more high-profile.

In fact, he initially disagreed with Joanna’s use of helping veterans in need for charity. This group of people is not like the homeless, the unemployed, or the elderly living alone who cannot afford to eat.

The above-mentioned groups of people are not many in number, and they also belong to socially vulnerable groups, and they have no voice channels.

If some scandal happened, or something needed to be covered up, someone with a little energy said hello, and these people would immediately shut up.

What's more, they don't have a strong background behind them, even if they are bullied to death, there is nothing they can do!

What kind of background can a tramp have, and if he really has a background, he won't be a tramp.

But soldiers are different, even veterans or disabled soldiers.

These people are backed by the military. You intervene in some military affairs, and it seems that you have helped the military solve many problems, but the military may not appreciate it.

Because in the eyes of the military, these actions seem to be mocking the military for not doing well enough!

Secondly, if some accident happens, they just need to contact the veterans' clubs in various places, and the matter will soon alarm the high-level military, if the matter is really big.

You know, soldiers have comrades-in-arms, and comrades-in-arms have comrades-in-arms, just like him, Mr. Truman, who is very familiar with many generals in the military, but he himself is just a colonel.

Once the military is involved, it will be difficult to end the matter, even with his relationship.

So he didn't agree with Joanna making a fuss about these things at first, but Joanna did point out some problems later.

This special group does have some areas that cannot be taken care of. He thought that if he had to look after it himself, as long as it was not too high-profile, there would generally be no major problems.

Obviously the situation is completely different now, the donation of more than 10 million is enough for the media to report, and soon a group of real or fake veterans will come to the door asking for help.

The Soldiers Club may also have some opinions.

Joanna saw the change in his face, and she frowned, "What's wrong?"

"You don't look very happy."

Mr. Truman sighed, more than unhappy?

But things have been done, there is no chance of turning back, "It's nothing, I thought of something else."

"For the foundation's future work, you'd better go to the Veteran's Office and talk to them, maybe they can give some good suggestions."

There are veterans' offices everywhere, as well as veterans' clubs, the military's own quasi-official institutions.

After returning to their own cities, veterans can report to these two places with their discharge certificates. First, they register at the Veterans Office, and then join the Veterans Club. There will be regular activities.

Among them, the veterans club ~lightnovelpub.net~ is also engaged in helping veterans solve psychological and spiritual problems.

It wouldn't be too bad if we could reach some partnerships with these two organizations.

By spending the money through them, the military won't have the slightest grievance, and the foundation won't have much responsibility.

He briefly explained the matter, and Joanna nodded repeatedly, remembering it in her heart.

She is not very interested in this aspect, because this part is always only a small part, and only 30% of the donations can be used for these people.

What she cared about was the other fifty percent, and her new life ahead.

Mr. Truman saw that Joanna was listening seriously, so he stopped paying attention after she finished speaking.

With him and Peleus around, even if some things are not done well, it will not be irreversible.

He always feels that he owes a lot to his family, and he is always in a relatively passive position when facing his wife and daughter.
