After hanging up the phone, Hicks talked to the people around him about Lynch's invitation, which made them all confused.

In fact, from Hicks' point of view, the Senate is actually more suitable for him than the governor.

Because the Senate is a bigger stage, relatively speaking, the governor does have more power, but the governor can control less territory and population.

For example, in some poor and sparsely populated states, being a governor there is not as good as choosing a city in the central and southern part of the federation as mayor.

Congress is clearly a good place for capable politicians with more political aspirations and in a partisan environment.

The development and operation of the entire Federation cannot be separated from the Congress.

For a politician like Hicks with a background, a party environment, and certain ambitions, the Senate is a good choice.

At this time, the staff team was a little confused about the situation, and his main staff also put forward some opinions of their own.

"As far as I know, there is currently no news in the party that there may be changes in the Congress, and the Congress was basically shut down during the war except for daily work."

"I support you to go to Congress, but only if what Lynch said is true and there is a way to let you in!"

Regardless of whether Hicks is governor or senator, he needs a lot of people who support his work, so there will be no change for the staff.

Even because the Senate needs to get in touch with more politicians and more capitalists, they can have a longer development.

Hicks thought so too, and he hadn't heard of such a thing happening.

He then called the vice-chairman of the Conservative Party committee to talk about the gossip he had heard from certain sources.

The other party also gave him an answer that he didn't know. Now that the Congress is suspended, even if there is a change in personnel, it will not happen until after the war is over.

At the same time, I also asked him curiously why he suddenly became interested in news from Congress.

Hicks would certainly not say that he might go to Congress without being sure. He hung up the phone after a few perfunctory words.

He shared this news with his staff, and everyone thought this was the most likely scenario, but Lynch's idea made them hesitate.

"Or...you should sit down with Lynch and have a chat. He may have some information that we don't know. After all, he has a very close relationship with Mr. President!"

Hicks froze for a moment, which was a fitting reason.

If the presidential palace is dissatisfied with the current Congress and makes some changes, it is completely justified, because the power of the entire country is now concentrated in his hands.

Including the power to transfer personnel to Congress!

However, there are also some small problems. Generally speaking, such tough orders will not be issued casually, and the impact will not be good.

But no matter what, his mind became active.

After thinking about it for a while, I decided to meet Lynch, "Help me book a ticket to Bu Pain, I want to meet him as soon as possible."

It was already the end of the year, and it was not long before the election. He had to make a decision as soon as possible.

Is it the governor?

Or Senator? !

On the other hand, after Lynch finished calling Hicks, he called the old man who had just stepped down as the chairman of the Progressive Party Committee and asked him to chat with him.

The old man did not have any objections to this. As a big man who has influenced the federal political arena for decades, it is also a kind of spiritual comfort for him to have someone like Lynch ask him out after he abdicates!

The two met in a shopping mall. The old man was dressed in ordinary clothes, and he couldn't see how terrible influence he had on this country before.

The sun shines through the glass on the roof of the shopping mall, and the two sitting on the bench feel the warmth brought by the sun.

The heating was turned on in the shopping mall, the temperature was suitable, and neither of them wore too much.

"You know, something happened recently."

As soon as Lynch opened his mouth, the old man nodded twice, "Yes, anti-smuggling case."

He looked at Lynch, and everyone who was qualified to know anything understood that Lynch was from Sabine City and had an extraordinary relationship with the Brothers Grimm.

The sudden outbreak of anti-smuggling activities in Sabine City was aimed at Lynch.

It's just that Lynch and the Brothers Grimm have already arranged a scapegoat. A lot of things were seized and a lot of people were arrested, but the Brothers Grimm were not caught and Lynch was not hurt.

After this incident broke out, some people in the political arena began to "exchange experience", and ideas about dividing the relationship between Lynch and the president have been exchanged and circulated in a private environment.

The old man also knew about it, even more than Lynch!

Lynch sighed softly, "The president is very dissatisfied with this, do you think he will bear it?"

The old man shook his head. It has been four years. Everyone basically understands what the president of the Federation from the military is like.

He is a person with endurance and a desire for revenge. Everyone says that his dissatisfaction with capital comes from the fact that he was persecuted by capital forces when he was an aide to the former president.

They pressed his head and forced him to bow his head, causing him to be filled with a distorted hatred for the power of capital.

Now he's in power and out for revenge!

Lynch lowered his voice slightly, "This matter will not end just because of Pence's arrest, and it may affect more people."

"Not just the capitalists, but also the politicians who speak for them!"

The old man's cloudy eyes froze slightly, Tong Kong shrank uncontrollably.

"What are you going to do?"

Lynch had a slight smile on his face, "Some positions in Congress need to be adjusted. You know, I am also a member of the Progressive Party."

"You want someone from us to arrange it?" The old man responded quickly, and then frowned.

He just thought that the federal president wanted to put people he trusted into Congress and form his own political power, but he quickly rejected this idea.

Because Mr. Truman is not a politician from the Progressive Party, he is only labeled as the Progressive Party because of the previous president.

In fact, he is a special case independent of all current political forces, a president from the military.

Therefore, it is impossible and unnecessary for him to form his own political force.

Once he stepped down from his position, his political career was basically over.

The Progressive Party will not continue to reuse him, and will give him more resources.

Not to mention the Conservative Party, they are not in the same way.

And even if the military gives more resources to Mr. Truman, he will be a senator who may not serve too long at the end.

With these thoughts, it is better to use those military-industrial groups, such as Lynch, to indirectly achieve the effect they want.

There are already three senators on Lynch's side. Isn't it more meaningful to give Lynch an order than supporting Mr. Truman to become a senator?

So it's definitely not from Mr. Truman, but...

The old man glanced up at Lynch, and the corner of his mouth slightly raised, "I heard that there are already many people in the York Gang."

This is a temptation, he stared at the change of Lynch's expression, and it was also a kind of contact in communication.

Lynch curled his lips, "There is no Yorkie Gang, it's just a name people ridicule, everyone is for this country."

The old man was not deceived, but affirmed his guess with this sentence, "You want to form your own political force?"

Lynch didn't answer, which made the old man more convinced that this was the truth.

He didn't care if there was a rift between Lynch and Mr. Truman because of those people's tricks.

He didn't care what Lynch's ultimate purpose was. He began to think about whether he could use Lynch's ideas to continue to extend his influence.

For him, this may be the only joy in his life now.

The fun of standing behind the scenes and controlling everything!

Many names flashed through the old man's mind, and some were quickly erased by him.

After he retired, the attitude of these people towards him had changed obviously, and he didn't like such people.

Among the many shadows, two people gradually remained.

"How many people can you operate?"

"About three to four people ~lightnovelpub.net~ I can give you a choice, but you know, he must be obedient and listen to me."

Lynch spoke very fruitfully, and he also believed that the old man had already confirmed his thoughts.

The current situation in the Federation is a bit weird. Mr. Truman's dependence on him and his precautions coexist, and he must prepare for the next few things.

Once the war is over and the Congress restarts, the power of the Congress will begin to suppress the power of the Presidential Palace again.

At this time, if you want to continue to maintain your own particularity, you must have your own direct power in Congress.

Judging from the brief communication with Frank, they have decided to send Mr. Truman out.

Even if it cannot be done now, it will be inevitable in the future.

Once Mr. Truman and his group of political forces fall, Lynch will lose support at the top of the federal government.

He started from Sabine City and has always followed the top-level route.

The former president, Mr. Truman, has influence in the political arena, but these are all based on the presidential palace.

Had Mr Truman fallen before he had established himself politically, there would have been some challenges.

That's why the York Gang came into existence, and what Frank and others did made Lynch realize that they might not wait for Mr. Truman's term to end.

As soon as Congress returns to power, they will immediately impeach Mr. Truman.

The three members of the York Gang, plus he will try his best to persuade Hicks, plus a place on the old man's side.

At that time, he will have five senators under his command, occupying one-seventh of the entire Senate.

This number is enough to protect himself, and if he finds a way to develop it, at least after losing the support of the presidential palace, he will not encounter some artificial embarrassments in politics.
