Becoming a politician is not Lynch's pursuit, not that he thinks politicians are bad.

Politicians are good. They have privileges different from wealth. In essence, the privileges that politicians grasp are higher than those that wealth can create.

But the power of politicians is not eternal. For example, Mr. President, he can only be re elected once. After re-election, he must wait another eight years to participate in the next election.

In this process, he can do nothing. He can only be active in society as "the XX to XX presidents".

Indeed, the president might have some power at that time, but what's the use?

No one wants to listen to an old man. Only when the successor in power needs to show their tolerance, they will not talk about their stupid plans when they mention the former president.

But most of the time, the successor will not be so tolerant of the previous one.

Denying his predecessor has become the habitual behavior of almost all politicians. At the same time, political power is not eternal. Lynch doesn't like this. He doesn't like having to lose it after holding the highest power in his hand.

In addition, even the president needs the support of a large number of capitalists, so why not choose to be the person who will always "sit on the throne" and choose a spokesman for interests?

Perhaps in this process, some people with poor brains will stand on the opposite of capitalists and be pushed out by other emerging capitalists who are eager to break the class barrier, but the world, the Federation and the country belong to capitalists, not politicians.

This is the reason why Lynch refused. He can be the biggest power supporter of Blackstone capital all his life, but he can't be president all his life.

Mr Truman sighed with some regret, "you can think about it again. I think you are very talented, and you can do your business while working with us."

Lynch sounds a little incredible, but he can understand that when a person really wants something to happen, his mind will become childish.

"It's impossible, Truman, you know."

Mr Truman fell into silence. Lynch said impossible, referring to his politics and business.

There is no federal law that does not allow politicians to do business. Many politicians are influential capitalists themselves, but the question is, if a politician goes in and out of high-end places, lives in luxury houses, drives luxury cars and travels with the president of the consortium, people will think that his life, all of which he earns through his efforts?

No, people don't think so. People think that everything he enjoys is bought by selling the power of the people.

That's why the Federation allows politicians to do business, and those politicians still have to launch their own agents, such as mayor Langdon and the funds of bupenn.

In the face of politicians, it seems that the world has unified its view in some incredible way - rich officials are bad people, and only those poor officials who can't even afford food are good people.

They do not consider whether it is a matter of ability at all, but roughly regard these as problems of corruption.

On the contrary, these people are more tolerant of capitalists. As long as the law does not say that these capitalists are bad, people will respect these rich people and take them as goals and examples.

In the words of another world, it is a running president and iron capital.

Fifty years later, several or more presidents have become the former president, but the chairman of the board of directors is still the chairman!

"It will change one day!" Mr Truman fought back.

Lynch didn't object, "I'm waiting for that day!"

The two looked at each other and staggered each other's eyes. If this topic continues, it will be a bit tit for tat, which is not in line with their demands at the current stage.

"What are you going to do next?", Mr. Truman cleaned up his emotions and threw himself back into his work.

Lynch replied easily, "follow the plan you made before us. In addition, how's gavra talking about?"

Speaking of gavra, Mr. Truman finally had some more smiles on his face. This arrogant goal has now become the defeated general of his men. This feeling is so good that people forget themselves.

More importantly, with the help of Preston, the whole Federation has a more detailed understanding of gavra's internal operation, and can affect the ministers' ideas to a certain extent when necessary.

"The problem is not too big. We will see the results soon..." Mr. Truman explained in a little detail.

Under the persuasion of the ministers, the emperor's attitude has softened a lot than before. Although he has to scold the Federation and the president every time he appears in the ruler's hall, generally speaking, it won't be long before he will agree to some ideas put forward by the federates and jointly develop the Amelia region with the federates.

Of course, the dominant power is still in gavra's hands. The federals just use their experience in nagariel to help gavra quickly get rid of the current dilemma and realize their plan.

In this regard, they are willing to give part of the profits to federal businessmen, for example, allowing them to bid for some reconstruction projects, allowing them to compete with gavra businessmen in ammeria, and allowing federal businessmen's cargo ships to use the port built by gavra people.

"It sounds that they have made great concessions and sacrifices, and the emperor of gavra is much more generous than I thought." Lynch smiled after listening.

His tone of voice was very subtle, like compliment and ridicule. Mr. Truman carefully distinguished it for a few seconds before nodding his head in favor of the channel. "Indeed, what they promised didn't need their promise. They didn't give in to those that needed their concession, but fortunately we didn't destroy our ideas."

Helping gavra build the Amelia region is not the federal greed for the overseas value of this region. The federal is not a country without strategic depth like gavra. The federal broad land is enough to fight a lasting war against aggression with the invaders.

What the federals really need is the market in Amelia. Although this will dissatisfy gavra's capitalists, it will not annoy gavra's emperor.

What they want is stable control of overseas territory. The Federation only wants money, and their core interests do not conflict, which has the basis for cooperation.

"When the state election is over, we will send a delegation to discuss these cooperation with the gavra people. Nominally, it is joint development, and the results may not be available until the end of spring or the beginning of summer."

"Moreover, their negotiation place is gavra. This negotiation will be a little difficult."

It is a predictable fact that the negotiations are difficult. The gavra people will not show fear because the federal fleet is more powerful. On the contrary, the country that has always occupied the world's most powerful navy is tougher than everyone thought.

When the news of the defeat of the Navy came back to gavra, the grumpy emperor was ignored. The attitude advocated by the people was not peace talks, looking for reasons, or fear, but the rise of an army to fight a decisive battle with the Federation.

Gavras are officially reported as "barbaric", "aggressive" and other labels with derogatory or simply derogatory meanings. This group of militants will be the main trouble faced by the negotiating group.

Now Mr. Truman and others are thinking about how to arrange the delegation to visit gavra. If the head is too tough, it will appear that the Federation is a little aggressive. It is the people who exert pressure on him, which will also make people feel that the level of the federal delegation is too low and will only quarrel with the ordinary people.

But if they are not so tough, who knows if the gavra savages will push their nose and face. If the people besiege the embassy or the hotel where the delegation stays, once they are not handled well, the international image of the Federation will also be implicated.

Therefore, this candidate is very troublesome. Mr. Truman thinks it is most appropriate to go by himself if possible. He has plenty of experience to deal with these situations. Unfortunately, the president can't live without him.

When talking about this, Mr. Truman suddenly realized that the most suitable candidate was in front of him. He had an idea and asked, "Lynch, do you have time to go?"

Lynch thought seriously, "maybe."

"If you have time to go, you'd better go with the delegation. I'll add you to the list of delegations. If necessary, you can replace the head of the delegation." Mr. Truman added some tone to avoid Lynch shirking his responsibility. "This is for the union!"

Lynch nodded noncommittally. "Yes, for the sake of the Union..." he sighed softly, "I promised."

In fact, he does want to go to gavra. Once the cooperation plans between the two sides are agreed, he will attend the bidding meeting. He must be present in person.

In order to avoid some artificial interference in the bidding process, the identity of the delegation can provide him with considerable convenience.

When Lynch agreed, Mr. Truman breathed a sigh of relief. Of course, he would have other backhands, but generally speaking, Lynch's ability to go is a performance of responsibility and increases the odds of the delegation's victory in the negotiations.

He may be young, but he is also trustworthy.

Then the topic of the two returned to the development of nagariel. The speed of the joint development company was amazing. When many consortia worked hard for the same goal, the energy created made Truman feel afraid.

This also increased his inner desire to put pressure on capital and even restrict capital to a certain extent, but he did not show that others were harmless!

When he left the presidential palace, Lynch had almost determined the process of the big operation. He came to see Mr. Truman to see if there were risks he didn't know.

Politics and capital are extremely dirty. If we can be friends today, we may stab in the back tomorrow. He must be on guard all the time.

Fortunately, there are no differences in their goals, and such a cooperative relationship can be maintained.
