While the representatives of the Department of Defense and the military were waiting for Lynch to get up, Senator Langdon was already in the Capitol.

He is waiting for a senator, an important member of the Military Appropriations Committee, and a senator of Congress.

Lynch’s "list" has been stuck here, even if Mr. President used his privilege to grant Lynch a sum of money, Congress is still stuck.

The use of privileges by the president is the prerogative of the president. If the president can compromise various committees of Congress by using the privileges, then these committees would no longer need to exist.

In addition, the funds approved by Mr. President's privileges will eventually be reviewed by a separate committee to review the content.

Only approved privileged appropriations are appropriate.

If they think it is inappropriate, then the size of the president’s financial privileges will be reduced in the coming year.

Many times, some countries think that this set of federal rules... is hard to describe.

Being a president here must be as uncomfortable as eating shit, because even if you become a president, there are many people and things that can restrain the president.

Congress is the most typical example, as are the ruling party committees and party leaders. These people can affect the power of the president. This is why many people find it meaningless to be president in the Federation.

But they don't know that the purpose of being president in the Federation may sometimes not be for power, but for money.

Just like Congressman Langdon at this time, as a member of the House of Representatives, he is doing things that have nothing to do with his job.

"……senator!"

In such a short time, he saw one of the core members of the Military Appropriation Committee and immediately greeted him.

The senator didn't even have time to stop and shake hands with him, and of course he wouldn't be so fruitless.

"Sorry, I can't free my hand now." He was holding a briefcase in his left hand and a cup of coffee in his right. Indeed, he didn't have a hand to shake hands with Senator Langdon, for good reasons.

"It's okay... Senator, I want to talk to you." Senator Langdon followed the senator, who did not stop, but continued to stride towards the elevator.

Senator and Congressman... You can't say that there is a gap or class difference between them. It's just that the senator holds more power in relative terms.

The authority classifies people and assigns different labels. Compared with the House of Representatives, the Senator is a bit more remarkable.

For at least three hundred years of federal history, there has not been a single president from the House of Representatives. This is enough to prove who is above and who is below.

The people in the elevator saw that a senator was coming here, they took the initiative to open the elevator door that was closing, smiled and greeted the senator and waited for him to come in.

There are many people crowded in the small space in the elevator, which is not suitable for chatting, especially those more special topics.

After waiting for the elevator to switch several times, Senator Langdon left the elevator room with the Senator.

This is the upper floor of the Capitol, and all the senators who have their own offices here.

"Mr. Senator, the things I mentioned to you last time..."

"Are you talking about funding for that aircraft?", the senator asked casually as he walked.

Senator Langdon said yes.

Mr. Senator smiled, and in front of a door, he handed his coffee and briefcase to Senator Langdon, then took out the key and opened the door.

Someone once thought that there were so many congressmen in the Capitol. If each congressman had three to five secretaries, then there would be at least hundreds or even thousands of secretaries to serve these people.

This is a shameless waste of taxes paid by taxpayers, and a humiliation to taxpayers and the country!

Therefore, under the boiling public opinion, the Capitol has adopted a public secretarial system. There is a secretarial office on each floor, and each office has ten secretaries. They are responsible for the daily work of all members of the assembly on the entire floor.

This is obviously a nonsense thing. Members of parliament have to contact many confidential documents every day, and they involve different fields. It is impossible for them to delegate these tasks to those public secretaries, so they don't need secretaries at all.

The secretary's office is there. There are always ten people. Every day, their job is to clean and pick up food when necessary. There is no coffee shop in the Capitol.

If they don't want to drink bad coffee, they must order takeaway.

This is also the reason why many Members are unwilling to work here. It is too inconvenient.

Opening the door, Mr. Senator and Senator Langdon walked in one after another. Mr. Senator opened the curtains and windows and said, "Our assessment of the aircraft is not as high as you think."

"You know, every year, many people sell worthless things to the Ministry of National Defense. After all, the Ministry of National Defense is not an organization specializing in scientific research. They have basically zero understanding of some cutting-edge technologies."

"It also makes them feel that many projects are valuable and meaningful, but they are not."

"Our work..." After he packed his things, he stood in front of his chair, "...to avoid wasting taxpayers' money on unnecessary budget expenditures, do you know what I mean? ?"

He stretched out his hand, took the coffee cup and briefcase from Senator Langdon, and sat down.

Senator Langdon wanted to say something, but was stopped.

"I know that you and Lynch are from the same place, and I am willing to give you some convenience within a reasonable range. After all, we are all colleagues, but you can't hold this kind of obvious..."

He shook his head, casually threw the two documents he had taken out of his briefcase on the table, and made a "pop" sound.

"……Do you get me?"

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Senator Langdon finally had to nod his head, "I think I understand."

Mr. Senator smiled immediately, "Look, it's not difficult, do you have anything else?"

"If not, remember to close the door for me when you leave."

Senator Langdon nodded again and turned to leave.

Looking at the closed door, Mr. Senator shook his head.

Of course he knows that the plane is valuable, otherwise Mr. President would not be able to approve it specially, but this does not mean that he also has to agree with Mr. President’s ideas and vote for it.

Of course, he is not unwilling to get some money from Senator Langdon and Lynch, but the supporters behind him hope to continue to stop Lynch in this matter.

Even if it has to be passed in the end, it can be delayed for a while.

The advent of Lynch’s aircraft immediately made domestic military-industrial groups realize that the pattern of military equipment in the future is about to change. After the aircraft has solved its biggest drawbacks, the rest are advantages.

Before others noticed this, Lynch had solved the problem and showed that he had taken out the test machine. If his budget was passed again, it seemed that it would not be too late for others to catch up.

In fact, it is too late for them now, and doing so is just doing their best.

As for offending Lynch?

This is not a problem at all. Commercial competition has always existed. Anyone who wants to make money through commercial means has to face competition.

For Lynch, the obstruction of these people is part of the business competition, and for these people, Lynch suddenly stepped into the military industry. Isn’t it a competition for them?

The senator has always been eating the dividends of these people. It is impossible for him to fall to Lynch because of a budget of tens of millions. Lynch's charm is not so great yet.

He shook his head and began to prepare. At this moment, the phone in the corner of the table rang.

The red button is lit, either from the Presidential Palace or from the Ministry of Defense.

He thought about it, and when the phone rang for the sixth time, he lifted the handset.

Here is a little trick. If the call is not so urgent, the other party will usually start to consider whether to hang up after three beeps.

If it keeps ringing, it means that this call is very important and cannot be avoided.

Senators generally don’t want to get too close to the Presidential Palace or the Ministry of Defense. It’s not a good thing to get too close, and it’s easy to get into trouble for themselves.

"Sorry, my coffee spilled. It wets my pants. I was changing my pants when the phone rang." The senator immediately found for himself the reason why it took so long to answer the phone.

The person on the other end of the phone apparently did not consider whether the reason for recourse in the past was true. "I sent a videotape to you. You will pay attention to it later. In addition, this morning the Ministry of Defense intends to increase Lynch’s aircraft orders. "

"From the original two hundred to six hundred, the total budget exceeds 100 million, and it may continue to be added in the future."

For example, the Military Appropriation Committee and the Military Budget Review Committee. Most of the committee members related to the military have a few close friends in the Ministry of National Defense.

Only in this way can we learn some information of the Ministry of Defense more quickly, understand what will happen next, and make a response.

The senator's brows rose immediately, "What happened?"

"Yesterday, Lynch’s Blackstone security made people see the future of aircraft through a small-scale armed operation~lightnovelpub.net~The Ministry of National Defense and the military are considering whether to establish a third service independently."

"Don't stretch out your hand about this, understand?"

"It is not us who is reaching out now. You will directly offend the high-level military generals. Their tempers are not as good as ours."

The words are already very clear. Mr. Senator immediately stood up with his forehead, and he couldn't sit still.

After walking a few steps back and forth, his expression was a little serious, "I must have at least one ruling whether it meets..."

"You don't need a ruling. I just inform you. I don't want to cooperate with a stranger. You know, I am nostalgic."

"I'll have another meeting later, I'm hanging up."

Looking at the handset that had hung up, regardless of whether the video tape had arrived, Mr. Senator immediately ran out of the door and ran towards the elevator.

He watched Senator Langdon standing in the elevator, the elevator doors slowly closing, and couldn't help shouting, "Wait a minute!"
