Mayor Langdon... No, he should be called Senator Langdon now.

Through a series of political exchanges, Mr. Langdon finally became a member of Congress as he wished.

This is a change that is not easy to calculate, and it is difficult to say whether such a result is appropriate.

From the perspective of power control alone, the mayor’s power is obviously much higher than that of congressmen.

It sounds a bit unrealistic, but this is precisely the most real situation in federal politics.

A mayor holds most of the power in a city.

He can ask the chief of police to act according to his own ideas, he can ask the militia to follow his command when necessary, and he can formulate the future development direction and city plan of a city with hundreds of thousands of people.

The fate of hundreds of thousands of people, their joys, sorrows and joys are firmly grasped in the hands of the mayor.

When he wants to make people unhappy, everyone has to cry.

When he wants to make people happy, everyone will laugh loudly to cater to his wishes.

What do members of Congress have?

Nothing. Apart from voting in Congress, their work is related to committees, but even in these committees, it is not up to a certain member of the committee to decide.

It is up to many members to vote, and then decide who to listen to.

They can formulate laws and policies one by one, affecting the political structure of the entire country and even the international, but this is expressed in the form of a "whole".

The lens is reduced to individuals, in fact, their power is not that great.

Not only will people not necessarily respect them, but sometimes some angry people will rush to them, point their noses and swear a few swear words in response to them passing some proposals that may seem like a summer festival.

It may not seem good to be a member of parliament, but why does everyone like to be a member of parliament?

On the one hand, the positions of mayor and governor are too few, and they are firmly grasped by the two major parties in their own hands. Not everyone can become the mayor, and the network ability and funding are indispensable.

Secondly, councillors are more profitable than mayors.

If the mayor’s funds are exchanged in large amounts, it is likely to alarm the internal affairs department and the Anti-Occupational Crime Investigation Bureau, but the members are different.

As long as each meeting starts in the staircase meeting room of the Capitol, someone will put an astonishing amount of money into the accounts of members in various legal ways, without affecting themselves.

What they will do will not even cause them to be condemned by their conscience—just vote inconsequentially when necessary.

No matter whether it is against, for or abstaining, as long as they meet the requirements of capitalists, they will not be stingy with the banknotes in their pockets.

Langdon, who has just been converted as an assistant, is actively developing contacts. He has served the old councillors for a long time.

In the end, the old congressman had to leave the job he loved because of his health and nominated his assistant, Langdon, to take over his job.

In addition, Langdon received support from the governor and the party through the exchange of interests. Therefore, after a fair and just vote for this position, everyone recognized Langdon's ability to work and made him a new member of Congress.

Everything is the outstanding individual ability that makes everyone choose him, there is absolutely no black-box operation, everything is in line with the federal rules.

From the first day in office, Langdon felt the importance of this job and the heavy burden on his shoulders. He vowed to guard this post in this life, serve the people of the Union, and learn from the old congressmen. ...

As soon as he came out of the Capitol, Langdon was still thinking about a question he talked about not long ago.

The Duncan family members are giving a briefing, hoping that they can pass a proposal called the "Overseas Security Act."

Langdon has not read this proposal, but he has already felt the sincerity of the Duncan family.

To put it in a way full of written language style-really worthy of the Duncan family!

Just by blowing the air, the foundation he holds has achieved a profit, although the money is not a lot, only 20,000 yuan, but this means that they are not short of money, and they are not afraid to spend money.

This was the first time Langdon saw that he hadn't done anything, and he didn't even express his arrogance to give money first.

People say that Congress is the back garden of capitalists. Langdon didn't quite understand it when he was mayor below, but now he understands.

Not only the back garden, but also the back garden of Sky City.

Thinking of these things, he got in his new car, a seemingly low-key limousine with very luxurious interiors.

He didn't spend a penny on this car, because he washed away the dirty water people splashed on it for a company through field investigations not long ago.

Some people reported that a heavy industry company had serious environmental pollution, and its emissions did not meet federal standards.

Langdon paid attention to this matter for the first time and launched a thorough investigation.

In the end, it was determined that this was a malicious report. There was no pollution. When the reporters of the TV station held up their cameras and cameras, and photographed the factory's directors using a cup to scoop a glass of water from the sewage outlet and drink it, people believed it.

There are always people in this society who hate the rich, and they always feel that this is the injustice of the world, so they will abuse the power of supervision given to them by some society.

Fortunately, Senator Langdon found the truth and showed it to the public, which kept the company from being affected.

As a thank you, the company donated a cheap car to the mayor of Langdon for free, in order to thank him for all he has done for the people.

There is no money rights transaction involved, and the ownership of this car actually belongs to the company. They gave at least the right to use, and voila, everything is legal.

The car quickly merged into the traffic, and he was driving the car while thinking about something.

By the time he returned to his mansion, it was already past four in the afternoon.

The job of a member of parliament is good. The time allocation depends on the individual, and the working place is very free.

As soon as he got out of the car, he saw the car parked next to him. In the car was sitting a person he knew very well, Lynch.

"You didn't tell me you are coming!" Senator Langdon was still very happy when he saw Lynch. In his eyes, Lynch was also a big capitalist and belonged to one of his partners.

In addition, his personal relationship with Lynch is also good, and Lynch's sudden visit is not unacceptable.

Lynch greeted him, and after they shook hands, they entered Senator Langdon's house together.

This is a single-family house in the upper town of Buppen, with front and back gardens, swimming pools and half a basketball court, covering an area of ​​about 600 to 700 square meters.

The price of this house is not cheap, but it is the same for members of Congress. Real estate agents will always have a way to give the house to those important people for almost no money.

For example, "lottery", such as "model house that no one has visited", such as "participated in a one-person auction"...

What they have is a way to solve these problems, so these politicians live in hundreds of thousands of mansions in the eyes of the federal people have long been not news.

It's news that they don't live in those luxury houses. If any congressman lives in a cheap apartment on the side of the road and wears a popular brand, people will only think that this is a **** show!

"Just sit down, do you want something to drink?" As soon as the two entered the room, a maid came to help them undress and tidy up their clothes.

This is a forty-year-old maid, not good-looking, old-fashioned, and very ordinary.

Members of Congress have privileges in many ways, and they can enjoy various benefits that people know or don’t know about, but they must also strictly abide by some rules that ordinary people don’t need to do.

For example, "Keep your family safe and make family members look very harmonious."

So even if those parliamentarians live in houses of hundreds of thousands and millions, they will not hire young and beautiful female servants to cause trouble for themselves. They will hire middle-aged women from poor families to work. Earn some praise from people.

Lynch looked around for a while ~lightnovelpub.net~ and sat on the sofa, "Whatever, bar!"

The room was very warm, and Langdon came over with a glass and a bottle of wine. "I always wanted to go and talk to you, but you are always busy, and so am I. Either you are not in Bupen, or I am not. , I seem to be lucky today."

He handed Lynch the wine glass, and the two clinked them and took a sip.

"I came here today because I want to ask you something, do you know the Overseas Security Act?"

Langdon was a little surprised. "Do you know this too?" He said, walking to the side of the cabinet, took his briefcase, took out a document from it, and handed it to Lynch. "Maybe you are looking for it. it."

Lynch said thank you, took the file and read it.

During the conference call, Mr. Geruno was obviously unwilling to discuss the details of the proposal. In their words, those who are able to know do not need them to say they will know, and those who are not qualified to know do not need to know. NS.

This is also a way of screening. After all, in addition to some big powers in the entire joint development company, there are also many speculators and small forces. These people can't get into the eyes of big people.

Lynch opened the file in his hand and looked at it carefully.

The content of this document is not much. The core is that Geruno and some congressmen believe that currently the Federation is not actively sending troops overseas to protect the safety of business people when doing business.

Safety of life, and safety of property.

Of course, they did not mean to blame the federal government. After all, the image of the federal government in the world is still relatively positive.

Businessmen want to protect their various security overseas by building their own armed forces.

These armed forces are illegal in the federal territory, but they should be recognized by the federal government when operating overseas, and the federal government and the military should also provide assistance when necessary...
