Senator Langdon smiled bitterly and shook his head after seeing off the unknown lobbyist from the Duncan family.

It was a very unpleasant experience of being lobbied. It was like someone put his fingers into his nostrils and pestled him and asked him if he was happy.

I don't know whether it's cool or not. Anyway, it's painful and sour. Tears are coming out. It's hard to refuse.

How could he risk being "adjusted" to refuse the Duncan family's lobbying?

Congressmen and senators are all members of Congress, but there are still great differences.

The difference in the number of senators actually reflects the status of both sides. The number of senators is much less than that of Representatives. At the same time, there are a little more senators in some heavyweight committees, although they always say that both sides are equal.

The main reason is that representatives can be adjusted quickly. When a party decides to change its congressional strategy, they can replace those representatives without deep political background by very simple means.

People who cooperate, change a place, mix a state senator or something.

Those who don't cooperate can be kicked out completely for any reason.

Furthermore, even Senator Langdon, who actually has no deep background, can operate himself as a congressman, although he has paid the position of mayor.

Then if others want to get rid of him, the price they will pay will not exceed the position of mayor of a small city, which may be much lower.

It's like the defensive side always invests more than the offensive side. Whether it's financial, material or energy, he must ensure his position is stable. As for other personal honors, it doesn't matter much.

He looked out of the window at the bright sunshine, but his mood was far from as bright as the sunshine at this time.

In the same bright sunshine, Mr. jeruno is playing golf with Mr. Fitch.

The temperature at the end of January is still a little cold. What older people fear most is the cold wind blowing outside.

The cold wind will become an invisible knife, which can penetrate people's clothes, penetrate people's bodies, and leave a deep cold on and in the bones.

So they choose to play in a warm room, indoor golf, with large pieces of special glass on their heads, which can also let them bask in the sun.

There is not a long fairway here. It is actually a green.

People go to the green from the starting point and then put into the hole. Although there is less vigorous swing, it is still a great pastime for people who like golf.

Mr. jeruno is standing in front of his ball. He constantly adjusts the angle of the putt and tries different efforts. All his attention is completely focused on the ball, not even talking.

Twenty seconds later, he gently swung the ball forward, watched the ball roll quickly across the undulating lawn and finally fall into the hole. He waved his fist and threw the club worth tens of thousands of dollars at the caddie.

"Good ball!" Mr. Fitch clapped.

Mr. Fitch doesn't look tall. His hair is a little sparse and gray. He looks like a very serious but ordinary person.

He walked on the street, and 99% of the people would not know that they passed the most powerful person in the Federation. He was so unnoticed.

But in federal politics, no one dared not pay attention to him, and no one could fail to pay attention to him.

Mr. jeruno took off his anti slip gloves and walked aside. "I have this hunch that it will enter!"

He also has a smile on his face. Scoring goals is definitely an enjoyable achievement for people who like to play.

The caddy put a golf ball at the mark, then gently moved the mark away.

Mr. Fitch tightened his gloves, took the same expensive club and adjusted the position and angle.

He was more decisive than Mr. jeruno when he shot. He didn't aim and have a hunch for a long time. Ten seconds later, he waved the club. The ball twisted around on the green lawn, but it always rolled in the direction of the hole.

Both men held their breath. At the moment when the ball fell into the hole, Mr. Fitch smiled more. "It seems to be flat again."

The ball boy immediately sent him a Scorebook. He read a motion at random, "I remember correctly!"

He smiled and handed the club to the caddie, but he didn't take off his gloves. He walked to another green with Mr. jeruno.

There are many indoor greens here. The terrain features will be changed every once in a while, so there can be more designs.

Complex, simple, bumpy, smooth.

As they walked, they chatted.

"Your step is too big this time. We still have some questions about the security law..."

When Mr. jeruno raised this issue, the two parties began to study the proposal. As for the socialist party... Sometimes there is little difference between them and them.

There is a very strict attitude and concept in the Federation.

Capitalists control wealth, politicians control power, and the military controls armed forces.

From the past to the present, the Federation has been infiltrating the political arena and the military, regardless of the capitalists. Once the issue of principle is involved, no one will give in.

The security law is obviously testing whether everyone's bottom line is the same as in the past. This sign is not very good, but their excuses are very sufficient.

At present, in order to take care of the country's image in the international community, the federal government is not convenient to send troops everywhere. Even the "troops" sent to nagary are "spontaneously" formed by veterans.

They are not required by the federal government, nor by the Federal Military, to be stationed in nagalir to form an armed deterrent to nagalir and its surrounding areas. They are spontaneously employed by the local government to help them maintain local peace.

There is nothing about the federal government, but there is absolutely nothing about the capitalists.

At the same time, this situation can only happen in nagary, which cannot happen elsewhere. The Federation will not provoke the enemy everywhere under the name of "aggressor".

Although there is warship escort, warship escort can only ensure that there are no problems on the sea under the escort of warships. In fact, capitalists often encounter some problems in the process of specific operation.

"From the standpoint of the government, you can restrict other countries to respect and protect our businessmen's legitimate rights and interests, but you can't solve some things outside the law."

"Hooligans, gangs and scoundrels exist everywhere. They themselves are outside the supervision of law and morality. Their own government can't restrict their behavior, let alone the government of a country they may never have been to?"

They walked to the steps, about 100 meters away from them, which was another court.

Caddies follow at a distance from them. The big people who come here don't like to be surrounded when talking.

After hearing this, Mr. Fitch thought deeply, and Mr. jeruno continued, "the concept of federate money has now become a consensus all over the world. In some places where our influence is weak, kidnapping, hijacking and looting against federates occur from time to time."

"The inaction or even protection of the local government makes our businessmen have no good way at all. They can only leave after losing a sum of money and goods, and some even pay their lives."

"You can't protect us. Can't we protect ourselves now?"

Standing by the door, Mr. jeruno made a "first please" gesture and asked Mr. Fitch to pass through the door first.

Mr. Fitch frowned. "You can hire some bodyguards or someone who can protect yourself, or even buy yourself weapons."

"We have allowed private individuals to buy various standard weapons from the federal military industrial groups. You can actually do that, but you should not talk about it in the open."

"This is not an easy question to talk about!"

They walked down the ramp and the ball boy followed up at the right time.

This green is about thousands of square meters. In winter, there is a tender green lawn, and the temperature is also very appropriate.

The service point is on the back of an earth slope of about 30 degrees. Kicking off on this uneven ground is a test of the player's skills.

Mr. Fitch took the club from the caddie and asked the caddie to put the ball away. He hardly waited long and swung the club hard.

The ball was hit and flew up and down into the air. Fortunately, it landed on the green.

Another caddie ran to the landing point of his ball, put a mark on it, and picked it up.

This is to avoid the collision between two balls. Although this kind of thing is not so easy to happen, it has happened after all, so there are such measures.

Mr. jeruno continued while aiming, "but we businessmen should not bear the results that should not be borne by us because this proposal will hurt some people's sensitive nerves."

"If the security law can be passed, at least those who are malicious to us will not be so easy to deal with us."

He prepared for a long time before hitting the ball, and then his arm shook, banged and the turf flew.

With such a flick, the price of repairing turf is about thirty or twenty yuan.

The two stopped talking again. They looked at the ball flying in the air, watched it fall into the green, and watched it roll towards the hole.

Although it didn't successfully move into the hole in the end, compared with Mr. Fitch's ball on the edge of the green, Mr. jeruno's shot was obviously very technical.

"Good ball!" Mr. Fitch praised.

Mr. jeruno smiled and walked towards the green. "No one can stop the needs of the people."

"Now it is just some water. If it is blocked for too long, it will become a flood and destroy everything!"

Mr. Fitch thought deeply. He stood in front of the ball and thought for a while, and then hit the ball without hesitation. Although the ball was a little far from the hole, it finally just fell into the hole.

"I'll think about it carefully!"

When Mr. jeruno heard this, he clenched his fist. He knew he had persuaded Mr. Fitch.
