There was silence in the room, and Mr. Truman looked strange.

As if he had something difficult to say, he forbeared and hid an impulse. His face turned red. It was not the effect of alcohol, but purely because of emotion.

He clenched his fist and shook his head. "It's too difficult."

it's too hard.

What is too difficult?

He didn't say, but neither he nor Lynch knew what was too difficult and it was too difficult to fight back against those consortia.

They have too many resources, which is not what an ordinary businessman or an ordinary government official can do.

Like these consortia, they have supported batch after batch of politicians. Some of the top consortia have supported several generations of presidents, and even some have members of the president's family at the core of the consortia!

For example, the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren in the history of the Federation have brought a full 24 years of presidential governance to this family. In these long 24 years, a huge interest group has developed around this family.

Beyond this interest group, there is a bigger layer.

In fact, the power of capital has long been out of control. The government's restriction on capital is just a script written by politicians and capitalists in order to create an environment suitable for the survival of ordinary people.

Impeach the president, recall the president, and even all kinds of accidents and assassinations, the capital never had much awe of politics!

Even the president can hardly compete with capital, let alone two ordinary people.

Lynch raised his glass and touched Mr. Truman. He took a sip. "We don't have no chance at all. I know what you've done recently is just that you're pretending."

Mr Truman was surprised. He put down his glass and raised his eyebrow. "Is it so obvious?"

Lynch nodded. "Everyone knows who you are. You change too fast. It's too fake, but no one will expose it."

"Everyone knows that although you are playing that role, if you want to play it well, you must invest in it."

"One day, one week, one month, maybe you won't change much, but half a year?"

"A year?"

"Three, five or even ten years?"

"Will you change?"

Mr Truman's expression became dignified, and Lynch nodded slightly. "Yes, you will change. You have played such a long role, and soon you will have a sense of confusion."

"You will not know which you are playing, the one who is unwilling to bow to the capital, or the one who gets along well with everyone, and you will be confused."

"Then the two of you will slowly merge into a new you, the one you don't want to be!"

"Truman, my friend, no matter whether our interests are consistent or not, as a friend, I will tell you to be yourself and don't do things you regret."

Mr. Truman was already fidgeting. He stood up and walked to the bar with his glass. He wanted to pour some wine for himself to cover up his emotions.

"You... Have a point." he thought he could only answer this now. He really felt a lot easier these days. He had been dealing with the capitalists. He didn't feel this problem before. Until Lynch put it forward at this moment, he suddenly became alert.

Every day of his drunken life, those capitalists said to cater to him and flatter him. Those decadent and rotten lives made him start to change himself, but he didn't know anything about himself!

If Lynch didn't say anything, he didn't know that he had actually changed a little.

At first, when he went to those parties, he was very disgusted. The capitalists wasted their blood and sweat from the people on pleasure. They sought stimulation in the process of trampling on other people's dignity, which made Mr. Truman very disgusted.

But now, he seems to have adapted!

He was in a cold sweat. He stood at the bar in the distance and didn't come back. He sat there. He was afraid that he was too close to Lynch. Lynch would find his situation through some subtle changes.

This young man really doesn't look like a young man. If you don't consider his appearance, Mr. Truman always feels that he is not talking to a young man in his twenties, but a wise man in his sixties and seventies, or older, full of wisdom and rich life experience.

For more than ten minutes, neither of them spoke and were thinking about their own affairs.

More than ten minutes later, Mr. Truman returned to the sofa with his glass and bottle. He had sorted out his emotions.

"I know what you said is right, and I really just want to perfunctory the current situation, and then change a way to achieve my goal, but it doesn't seem to work."

Mr Truman's original idea was to maintain a slightly harmonious relationship with the capitalists, so that sometimes some of his demands can be reached not through similar "attack", but through various compromises or interest exchange.

This is also the core of politics.

But now, Lynch told him that this road would turn him into another Truman, a self he didn't like.

After adjusting his mind, he began to seek a solution, "what do you think we should do?"

Lynch always maintained his bearing. He raised his wine glass and looked at the amber liquid flowing between the ice. The ice under the liquid had been mixed with the wine and could not be seen. Only the ice above the liquid could be clearly distinguished.

"Did you know that in nature, some group predators also exist in our situation, collision, annexation, or integration between groups."

"If small groups do not want their own ethnic groups to be swallowed up by other large ethnic groups and their offspring to be killed, the only thing they can do is to let other ethnic groups understand a simple truth. Annexing them needs to pay a price."

"Painful price!" Lynch deepened his tone, "so that some ethnic groups may be hit hard. Only in this way can they give up."

"In fact, our people are the same. If they want to force us to bow their heads, then come and fight!"

"See if our bones are hard or their teeth are hard."

"When they feel danger and may shake their rule, they will shake their head and tail like a dog and seek compromise."

"Capital is more direct than animals, because here, interest is the main theme!"

"Anyone can be abandoned. As long as it is in the interests of the majority, it becomes natural to sacrifice the minority."

"We can't be a few people, Truman. No matter what happens in the future, at least for now, we should stand together..."

Mr Truman listened carefully. He kept nodding his head. "Do you have any good ideas?"

Lynch put down his glass and said firmly, "yes, but I need your cooperation."

"Tut... I suddenly feel that what you said before is preparing for this sentence!" Mr. Truman couldn't help laughing when he heard this, but he knew that even if it was foreshadowing, it was true.

Besides, it's not a shame to be persuaded in the Federation. Don't you see that those political brokers have a higher status than some ordinary politicians?

Why do they get the favor of politicians and capitalists?

Isn't it because they have some good ideas and their mouth is better than others?

It sounds incredible to pay someone to persuade others, but this is the fact that it has happened and will continue.

They then talked for a while before Mr. Truman got up and left. He had a buffet to attend soon. It was clearly during the holiday, but now he is busier than when he went to work.

After chatting with Lynch, he also strengthened his ideas. Everything is for the future!

After seeing Mr. Truman off, Lynch breathed a sigh of relief. Mr. Truman played a very important role in all his plans, because he stood behind the Federal Military.

The federal military is a very special and independent existence. Neither the federal president nor the Ministry of defense can completely interfere in the military's decision, but can only require the military's cooperation.

In the past, the Federation was afraid of war and did not dare to fight. The status of the military was reduced to the lowest. It was clearly the fault of politicians and the choice of the public. In the end, the black pot was thrown to the army, which also led to the subsequent major disarmament.

In order to prove to others that you are harmless, you have to break your hands. It is also a miracle of the world that such a funny thing can happen.

However, the situation is a little better now. The victory of the navy has brought unprecedented advancement to the military. The military is becoming more and more important, and Mr. Truman's capital is getting thicker and thicker.

He is not used to using the advantages of this part, which is stupid. Lynch will tell him how to use the background correctly.

Not long after seeing Mr. Truman off, he called Mr. waldrick again and made an appointment to meet in the afternoon.

Mr. waldrick informed him once before the incident that Lynch would be grateful. Secondly, he wanted to do something. It was not enough just for him and Mr. Truman, but also to win a decisive person into this small circle.

Mr. waldrick is more suitable than other unreliable people.

He doesn't have too many children, too many complex relationships, and his desire is not so strong. In addition, this time, Mr. waldrick is also a "victim" to some extent. He has all the conditions.

The board of directors directly rejected the president's decision, which is actually a shame - of course, for the president, he has been the president and was rejected by the board of directors. His position in the company, in the group and in the consortium will change badly because of this rejection.

But he himself knows that he is unable to do anything, but Lynch will give him a chance, a chance to prove his status.
