"Me?", Ferrar was still driving the car attentively. He glanced at the other car behind the car. The people in the cab came out with Lynch and guessed that it should be Lynch's bodyguard.

At this moment, he was in a trance. It seemed that the first time he met Lynch was not long ago. Lynch put a check for $5000 on the table and asked him for some solutions.

In a flash, has Lynch developed to the point of carrying bodyguards?

He came back to himself, "it's OK. In fact, everyone knows that I'm just a...". He pursed his mouth, smiled helplessly, and shook his head, "... It's just a transition. I'm not qualified to complain. Instead, I want to thank you, the governor and the mayor for their recommendation."

If there is no accident, then the mayor of Sabin, that is, Langdon, the current mayor, will announce his resignation after the state election, and recommend Ferrar to replace him as the new mayor of Sabin.

With Langdon's recommendation, the governor's support and Lynch's affirmation, Ferrar has almost no resistance to being elected mayor, but he won't be mayor for a long time.

Langdon didn't deal with the governor before. The governor wanted to give the job of mayor of Sabin to his brother, but Mayor Langdon didn't agree. He traded his favor for the support of the party.

This also led to a little contradiction between the two. Now because of Lynch's relationship, they began to resolve the contradiction to a certain extent. Mayor Langdon is also willing to give up his position as mayor and change his new job as a member of the house of Representatives.

In exchange, his staff and Secretary ferral will temporarily become the acting mayor of Sabin, but only for two years.

Two years later, Ferrar will resign from his current job on the grounds that he is incompetent for the mayor of a city, and elect a state senator to take over his job. Then the state parliament will hold two hearings and finally judge that the state senator can take over Ferrar's job, become the new mayor of Saibin, and start a new mayoral campaign.

The reason why there is such an arrangement has nothing to do with his identity. His relationship with the governor is very general, not because he is another nephew of Adelaide. He and the governor are also relatives, so it is impossible for anyone to make an unfair decision!

Can't you contribute to the federal people if you are related to the governor?

absurd!

In short, this will meet everyone's needs and complete the process of finally welcoming a new mayor. Ferrar will also promote him into a cadre in the party because of his two-year experience in the ruling party. If he can find some people, such as capitalists like Lynch, to support him in the next election, he may really go to the ruling party, Become a real mayor and embark on the political stage.

In short, the whole process does not seem to be very complicated, but it is mixed with too many interests. For example, the state senator who should be brother to the governor will have another position as a state senator after he becomes mayor.

As we all know, the governor is seeking more re-election. The position of a state senator can definitely make a force stand on his side.

Don't underestimate state senators. Under the relatively autonomous system of various states implemented by the Federation, the state house is not much different from the Congress. They can also initiate, submit, review and vote on various local bills, but their influence is not as great as that of the Congress, and only themselves and surrounding areas can be affected.

If only from a practical point of view, it will not be too bad.

In fact, there are more invisible interest exchanges behind this. People can only see the sudden resignation of the new mayor and then a new mayor.

"It's actually good, at least I don't need to participate in the election!" Ferrar said this with a smile on his face. He wasn't really afraid of the election. In fact, he could see where his confidence came from by looking at the clean streets around him.

The unprecedented economic recession has made front-line politicians such as "mayor" a high-risk industry. This is not the time to consider whether a politician has qualified political literacy. The problem now is that whoever comes will not work!

One by one, this is also why the conservative party will retreat in an all-round way. The last president left a mess that they can't clean up by themselves, so they simply don't take the initiative to compete and make progress by retreating.

When people find that the progressive party actually has no concrete eggs, they will stand up and compete actively. At that time, the economy almost began to improve. People will think, is it possible to try another ruling party?

At that time, they can stand in the sun and accept people's cheers, but now, it's not the time.

But now no one is so stupid to take over a mess and prove to people that he is as bad as the previous one. In addition to making himself a laughing stock, it doesn't make any sense. What's more, mayor Langdon's nomination, the governor's briefing, and Lynch's support. If someone stands up and competes with Ferrar, how stupid it is!

Of course, the Commonwealth is a highly free country, and fairness and justice are what people pursue.

"I'm about to get to that position, but it makes me a little nervous. You know, it was another person who made the decision before, not me. Now it's me who made the decision. I have to face the good or bad results myself, which makes me feel a lot of pressure recently."

He slowly turned the steering wheel. In the process of communicating with Lynch, he didn't ignore road safety and didn't pay attention to the vehicles behind him. "Sometimes I want to retreat for a moment, but I can't do that."

Ferral is indeed under great pressure. Although the situation in the city has improved, the unemployment rate is still high. Outside the relief station where relief food is distributed every day, it is crowded with ordinary citizens waiting to receive food with food rolls.

Mayor Langdon dared to resist the governor's private "suggestions" and had to run for mayor and win the election. Now his departure can not be said to be his compromise, but more likely to "retreat in the face of difficulties".

The situation is so bad. If he does well, everyone will be happy, but more likely, he may not do well enough. It will be more humiliating to be ousted at that time, so he withdrew in time and saved the victory.

From the perspective of the actual power held by individuals, the mayor is obviously higher than the members of the house of Representatives, but from the perspective of personal influence on the whole society, the latter has greater influence and more economic and political value at the time of transformation.

The mayor had a way to make a step, but ferral had no possibility and room to retreat. He had to bite the bullet.

The two chatted, and the car slowly stopped outside the city hall. Mayor Langdon really wanted to leave here, but before he really left, he was still the mayor of the city, and Lynch should visit him first.

"Congratulations..."

As soon as he entered the door, the mayor took the initiative to welcome him out and warmly held Lynch's hand. "I knew it was the most correct decision to choose you. It took only more than a year for the club to get back a champion. Yesterday, they also held a small-scale celebration. It was very lively. You can see the replay news, which will be introduced."

As he said, he and Lynch went to the sofa and sat down. "Sports are very effective in revitalizing citizens' morale. At least people's appearance will not be as bad as before. You did a good job. I was talking about these things with Ferrar yesterday and considered encouraging more people to promote the cause of sports."

Ferral, who was doing service for the two, nodded. He put two glasses of wine in front of them. Mayor Langdon pointed to the sofa next to him, "you too."

Originally, there was no position for Ferrar on this occasion, but considering that he will soon succeed mayor Langdon, the mayor needs to give him corresponding respect.

No one knows what our respective development will be like in the past. It is necessary to respect Ferrar, not for the sake of their cooperation in the past, but for the sake of his youth.

After talking for a while, Lynch turned the topic to mayor Langdon's place. "I heard your place has been decided?"

Originally, this was a very embarrassing topic. Before that, the governor could not guarantee to help him move to the house of Representatives. It was likely that he would still engage in a state Senate in the state, but unexpectedly, a member of the house of representatives of the party suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized.

That is an old gentleman who has devoted his life to the federates. He is 75 years old and still works hard at his post.

The doctor examined his body and thought that he could not continue to contribute to the Federation. He was very sad, but he also got a new opportunity. The governor immediately mobilized energy to let the old congressman who had dedicated his life to the Federation elect mayor Langdon to Congress as his successor to take over his job.

Of course, this is only a relatively simple statement. In fact, it is also very complex. After mayor Langdon resigns, he will first work for the old man who has silently contributed in the name of an assistant for about one or two months to get familiar with the work flow of the house of Representatives.

Then the old man who desperately wants to contribute light and heat to the Union will say that he is really dead. After at least two rounds of voting, his state house will elect the old man's successor, which is likely to be Langdon, who has been silently helping him finish his work during his illness.

As long as there are two public replies held by the congressional election committee and no more than half of the people oppose it, Langdon will enter the house of Representatives on behalf of another state and become a glorious congressman and a congressman serving the people.

This involves the political exchange between the governor and another state, so it's definitely not just saying it.

Now mayor Langdon seems to want to understand that he is not young, and the governor is unlikely. Instead of continuing to shrink here and waste his time for a little power, he might as well go to Congress to serve the federal people!

At least, in this way, he can have a happy old age without having to worry about money!
