When Lynch and Catherine talked about education, the president sat down with his important confidants and aides to talk about it.

The atmosphere is very harmonious. After a smooth transition of less than half a year, his own people have been installed in important positions of the federal government. Mr. President really controls the of this country in his own hands.

The cold air from the air conditioner makes the temperature in the room very pleasant. Gentlemen sit or stand around the president, and their eyes are focused on the president.

"... next we have three directions, education, health care and social security!"

The president's words were not easy. At this time, the door opened, everyone looked back, and Mr. Truman came in with his briefcase.

"There's a bit of traffic jam." he was late, so he needed an excuse.

The president looked at his watch. "It's only fifteen minutes from your place."

"But the road was a little blocked." he found a place to sit down. The president didn't continue to say it, but he was late.

He took the coffee from the staff, said thank you, and then asked, "where are you?"

"We just talked about the three major reforms, and we have to choose one." the president's attitude is very firm, not joking.

The three major federal reforms are education, health care and social security. There are many problems that urgently need to be changed.

However, because there are too many interests involved, any change is not so easy to complete, and even lead to attacks by some stakeholders.

Seeing that Mr. Truman had nothing to say, the president continued to say, "every president before us talked about these problems, but no one can solve them."

"We may be the first to do it, and history will remember us."

"Now all we have to do is choose one, put it on the cutting board, and then think about where to start..."

The atmosphere in the room was also relatively depressed. No one spoke. The president was a little disappointed, but he expected it.

Behind these three systems are the interests of many capitalists. If he wants to touch these now, he will certainly arouse opposition.

He is the president. He will go home after finishing his work. Others still have a long way to go. What will they do in the future?

His eyes stayed on everyone's face for a moment, but these usually sharp people pretended to be meditating as if they didn't notice the president looking at them.

Until, his eyes fell on Mr. Truman.

"If you have to choose, choose education.". Mr Truman gave his own answer, which was surprisingly consistent with the president's own idea, which also made him smile more.

He stopped looking at others and kept staring at Truman, "tell me why you choose education."

Mr Truman took a sip of coffee. "Because we can only chew this!"

"Education groups are different from medical groups and insurance groups. The biggest difference is that we change some educational rules and will not touch the core interests of education groups."

"They may be dissatisfied with our behavior, but they won't do anything too much. People don't have to destroy a city for a fly."

Now the so-called education groups are no longer limited to the relatively simple business of monopolizing knowledge. What they operate is actually a kind of contacts and a "Gang".

This seems a little incredible. How did the education group get involved with gangs?

This happens to be the case, for example, the holy Peace Alliance, which can be said to be the largest interest group in the field of education.

What do they want?

It is people's concern about the identity of alumni, people's yearning for the candidate members of the holy peace church, and the ability to establish rich and reliable social networks and relationships before graduation through going to the holy peace school.

This is why so many parents are willing to spend a lot of money to send their children to famous schools. Even these famous schools are unwilling to recruit sponsor students. They should try their best to put their children in.

This "commodity" brings higher profits and more terrible influence than monopoly knowledge. However, the negative effects it brings are the smallest.

People never hate those holy peace colleges and universities that do not absorb their children. They only hate that their children are not good enough and that they are not rich enough. In short, they don't think it's a problem of the school!

How terrible?

Even medical groups can not compare with this. At least some people will scold medical groups, but few people scold education groups.

Therefore, in this case, changing the education system will not really touch the interests of those education groups.

Public universities sell knowledge, while private universities sell the secret of success. They are not the same thing!

Everyone in the room knew this, but they didn't want to stand up first. Mr. Truman stood up, and the president thought of it. That day, he stood in his office, expressing his despair and indignation at the country and the capitalists.

This just makes the president believe Truman more, because he knows that he has no one to rely on except himself.

The president nodded, "I also talked about education reform in my inaugural declaration. This is the time for me to fulfill my promise. I don't want to be called a 'liar President' when I retire!"

"So Truman, where do we start?"

Mr Truman did not hesitate too much, "start with a lower standard."

"I thought you'd say more public schools." the president's mood was relaxed. It was a joke.

The construction cost of a public school is not high, but the maintenance cost is not low. Not every city's finance can support it.

The more advanced the school, the greater the cost. Now there are three or five universities in many federal states, and there are no public universities in many cities.

The unbearable cost is a big problem. If many public schools are to be built, it will put a heavy pressure on the federal finance.

In addition, the source of teachers will be more troublesome.

Mr Truman shook his head. "There's no need. We just need to expand the existing school campus so that it can accommodate more people to study."

"The reform of primary and secondary schools should not be too big, while universities..." he pondered for a while. "We can encourage local governments to cooperate with private enterprises, or give some help to people who are willing to establish private universities but come according to the new rules we have formulated."

"For example... Students."

"There will be many people who want to go to college but can't afford it, such as Lynch..."

As we all know, Lynch's study is actually good, because he has no money and no entrance insurance, so he won't go to school after high school.

Although he is now hanging in the College of the congregation of peace, everyone who knows him knows that this is not a real school.

That sense of superiority made people laugh. They finally found a better side than Lynch. They went to college!

Mr. Truman also smiled, "education reform can make more people at the bottom of society support our political program, and we can elect more talents for the Federation. They will change the country!"

Every face has a luster, a luster full of a sense of mission.

Once the education reform is successful, they will become an indispensable part of the federal history, because each of them has promoted the progress of the country.

The president nodded. "Don't disclose this matter for the time being. We still need to wait."

"A lot of this year's budget has gone into the pockets of the military. We don't have the funds to launch this reform. It won't be a problem next year or the year after next when the fiscal policy is more relaxed."

"And this needs more detailed discussion and Research..."

It's normal, no problem.

The tone of this education reform seems to have been set. They don't even have the idea of talking about health care reform and insurance reform, because they know that those are absolutely impossible.

Rather than being hated or even retaliated by capitalists, let's talk about education. People are also more concerned about this.

In the next few days, the whole Federation was very calm. More and more people accepted the "offer" every moment. They borrowed a sum of money from every moment, and then used it to compensate for the losses caused to every moment, and then they had to pay the installment of the money every moment.

It sounds a little annoying, but this special measure was soon learned by the banks. They adjusted the calculation method of individual installments and adopted the method that the faster the repayment is, the lower the interest is, and the slower the repayment is, the higher the interest is. It still works a little miraculously for a while.

In addition to these, two things touched some people's nerves in early June.

The first thing, mariro had a fire fight. His patrons lost their financial support all the time. When they still had the money to maintain their scale, the general launched a war against their neighbors.

This is not a fight between gangs. You and me, hiding behind the trash can across the street, holding a pistol and pulling the trigger in an unknown direction.

Except for the passers-by who was killed, the other party may not be injured.

This is a war, a real war. The number of people participating in the war on both sides exceeds 30000!

The sudden break of the peace situation in mariro has also led to great pressure on the border. Every day, mariro people try to cross the border and enter the Federation to seek asylum.

But now... The federal policy is to prohibit labor immigration. In other words, they refuse ordinary people to come here in any form.

Unless they have money.

Or have technology!

At this time, Sanchez, who disappeared for some time, reappeared in mariro. He held high the banner of "peace and friendship" and began to recruit people. The slogan was to create a truly peaceful mariro, a country where mariro and Mallory people can live in peace.

It's just as funny as some people say that excrement will become delicious after processing, but some people really believe it.

There are always fools with dreams, aren't they?
