The senator's "wait a minute" is somewhat different from the congressman's "wait a minute".

In the senator's desperate eyes, the closed elevator door slowly opened again. Senator Langdon smiled and asked, "are you going down, too?"

The senator breathed a sigh of relief. "No, you left something in my office."

This is an obvious idiom. Even everyone in the elevator knows what he wants to express, but it is useful because it avoids any possible embarrassment.

Senator Langdon felt a little strange, but he still came out of the elevator. "Yes, it seems that I left in a hurry. Thank you for telling me."

I came to tell you why I didn't bring things easily. Of course, I have to say something alone in the office.

Senator Langdon came out of the elevator. In Congress, he learned an experience called "the more friends, the better".

He won't be angry because the senator refused himself and let himself "go". It's meaningless to be angry.

If a politician gets angry when he has nothing to do, he will spend his life in anger.

Either colleagues accuse them of being rubbish, or the people scold them like dogs, or the media expose their scandals. How can there be a happy time?

To be a man, we should understand enjoyment, tolerance and forgiveness.

So they returned to the senator's office. This time, the senator took the initiative to invite Senator Langdon to sit in the chair representing equality

Well, it's still a little worse, because there is a table representing the identity of the owner of the house between the two. If they sit on the sofa, the situation will be much better.

They sat face to face for more than ten seconds, and no one spoke. The senator had to break the somewhat silent environment at this time.

"Just now..."

He paused here with a smile as if nothing had happened just now. It might be more embarrassing for ordinary people, but they are politicians.

Shamelessness is the basis for politicians, and this embarrassment seems to them as if it had never happened.

Senator Langdon quickly followed, "what just happened?"

"No, nothing. Let's talk about the budget."

The senator played with a pen worth more than 1000 yuan on the table. The pen kept rotating in his hand. "After you left, I looked at the budget again. Although there were some problems, I didn't think it could be solved."

"My job is to find and solve problems!"

Senator Langdon didn't know what made the senator change his position in such a short time, but he tried his best to cooperate in this regard, "I can explain any problems for you."

The senator shrugged. He put his pen back on the table. "I think maybe we should sit down and talk to Mr. Lynch?"

"I mean, he can certainly solve some more professional problems. I don't mean to offend. After all, it involves some sophisticated scientific and technological fields."

Senator Langdon suddenly understood that his weight was too light, so light that the senator did not even want to reach an agreement with Lynch through himself, but had to reach an agreement with Lynch himself.

This is also normal. He is just a lucky congressman. A dignified politician once joked in private that he could send a dog to the house of representatives if he wanted.

Of course, this is just a joke, but it also shows the position of the house of representatives in federal politics.

Not as good as the top, not even the bottom.

City councillors and State Councillors seem to have less power than members of Congress. They can participate in various committees and hold important positions, but these people have some real power in their hands.

They directly face the residents in the city, or the power to connect with them is the power of voters!

Senator Langdon has also contacted many city councillors in Saibin before. Behind these people, either the shareholders of large enterprises in XX and XX region are supporting them, or the residents in XX and XX lower urban area are supporting them.

It's OK to deal with them, but it's too tough to trigger demonstrations.

On the contrary, in the house of Representatives, the congressmen were completely divorced from the people's foundation and were put in midair.

It's not close to the sky. It's senators' territory.

Next to the ground, the place has no place, so the position of the representative is so embarrassing.

At the same time, it also gives the congressmen the motivation to climb up.

If we cooperate with the parties in their efforts to do a good job and obey the arrangements and leadership of the inner-party Committee, we may have a chance to improve.

Senator Langdon still has a chance. In fact, he is still young. As long as he can always follow Lynch and get Lynch's support, he may not have no chance to enter the Senate.

He was very clear about his position and role. He didn't feel offended at all.

"Of course, but now that Mr. Lynch is not in buppen, you may meet later."

Senator, listen a little hesitant, a little later?

When being late doesn't show your value?

This is not what he wants!

What he wants is to give him hope when Lynch feels that there is no hope, which can reflect his role and value.

Senator Langdon doesn't know what changed the Senate's mind, but he knows that the initiative has changed now.

We are all federal politicians, and we can't say who is strong or weak by means. It's just the status and gap.

He put his hands on the handrail and looked at the senator calmly, maintaining a reserved smile.

After a while, the senator said, "do you have any way to contact Mr. Lynch?"

Senator Langdon hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "of course..."

After making an appointment to play together next time, the senator sent Senator Langdon away. When he returned to his office, his friend in the Department of defense sent the video.

This behavior is legal and probably equivalent to the reference conditions for submitting materials to suggest whether to approve the additional budget of the Ministry of defense. No one can say that it is illegal.

Look, federal politicians can always sort out these things so clearly that they never miss them.

Back in the lounge, he closed the door and stuffed the video into the player. Although the color of the picture was slightly monotonous and the texture of the picture was very rough, it did not prevent him from recognizing the facts of these pictures.

The way of war is going to change.

Every time a plane makes a dive, the moment it pulls up close to the ground, there will be a violent explosion in the forest, a large number of tree crowns will be shaken, and some will fall slowly.

It was the effect of the explosion. The senator didn't know how they did it, but he knew what it meant.

If the jungle is a battleship... For example, gevlar's battleship, it has no ability to defend against air enemies. At this time, a group of aircraft launched a dive against it

"The shell has eyes!"

He said this to himself in a shocked tone. The shell has eyes, which is the most terrible.

He also understood why the military and the Ministry of defense were so anxious about this matter. Even his half layman knew that there would be no "accident" in this matter.

Whoever makes an "accident" appear will have an "accident"!

At 10:30, he sat by the phone, listened to the busy tone in the receiver and waited for more than ten seconds. He didn't feel bored and boring at all, but took it very seriously.

"It's me..."

Lynch's voice was very recognizable. The whole expression of the senator sitting behind his desk became vivid at this moment. His face was filled with a sincere smile. "Mr. Lynch, I'm taking the liberty to disturb your rest. I'm a senator of Congress... And I'm currently a member of the federal military appropriations Committee."

He paused, gave Lynch time to understand his title, and then continued, "before, the Ministry of defense submitted an additional budget, and now it has entered the end of the audit. Basically, there are no big problems. I don't understand some of them. When do you think we can sit down and talk?"

He was very tactful. First, he said that the budget can be passed, but the two sides had better meet.

Lynch at the other end of the phone knew what this guy was going to do. He wanted to settle his favor and sell himself in place.

Federal politicians have this virtue. They helped you. If they succeed, they want to build a loudspeaker to stand beside you every day and loudly remind you that you have to remember this favor.

But if they owe you a favor, they will play down the relationship as much as possible, unless they can't make a compromise.

This also made Lynch realize that the budget was passed, the committee couldn't stop it, and began to take the initiative to sell favors. He had to pass whether he received it or not.

However, he doesn't need to lose face. After all, he is a senator, which can be of some use.

"Of course, sir, I'll probably be back in buppen the day after tomorrow, when we can talk carefully." Lynch's voice was also filled with appropriate closeness and enthusiasm.

The senator breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that Lynch did not feel that he was obstructing him because he had delayed so long. This is good news.

It is most appropriate to use maturity to describe his feeling for Lynch at this time.

"OK, I'll book a restaurant first..."

"No problem. See you then."

"Then I won't bother you, Mr. Lynch. Bye."

"Goodbye!"

……

Lynch, who hung up the phone, was a little surprised. Then he called Mr. Truman and said it briefly.

It doesn't often happen that senators bow their heads. As we all know, senators and governors are people who dare to confront the president. They won't compromise unless they really have some power to make them aware of the danger.

Lynch soon got the answer from Mr. Truman. The Ministry of defense placed an additional order for 400 aircraft and additional research orders.

They see the future from the video and are eager to take the future in their hands!
