Blackstone Code

0753 Enemy? friend!

Whether they are Gefra people, federal people, or people from other countries, especially ordinary people at the bottom of society, they all have at least the same doubts about how those officials can do nothing. Official?

For example, many of the members of Congress of the Byler Federation have not only never engaged in law-related work, but their major in college was not law.

They know little about the law, so how can they decide whether a law can be passed or whether it needs to be revised?

To put it simply, a group of laymen are doing things that even insiders can’t do. Why should they?

There are too many people who have this question. Just like Lynch, a man who has never proven himself on the rugby field, actually became the chairman of a professional rugby club. Why?

When this question pops up in most people's minds, they feel a little angry. It is very likely that they are encountering these problems, or people around them, or some people in society are encountering these problems.

That's why they have this question, why do politicians, who are laymen in many industries, do some work that only experts can do?

In fact, everyone's perspective on the problem has been wrong from the beginning, because for politicians, their "professional" is politics, and their profession is also politics. As for the power and influence extended by their profession, it is only incidental. Giveaway.

As long as they can fight against each other, know how to compromise when necessary, give up a little bit of shame, and lower their moral bottom line, then they are professionals in the field of "politics"!

Just because they are professionals, they can be officials!

Gaevra's Prime Minister is also a professional politician. Although he does not have much power, he is indeed a very professional politician. Once he makes up his mind, he will be a storm.

The news was reported by major television stations that night when the demonstration outside the Chancellor's residence was broken up.

Some TV stations reported relatively neutrally, while others were biased towards the Prime Minister's camp.

In the words of those hosts with clear stances, the Chancellor of the Exchequer manipulated the empire's police and suppressed a group of victims as a mob!

Regardless of whether it was ordered by the Chancellor of Finance or not, the people believed it!

The scandal of finance department officials accepting black money has just been exposed, and then the finance minister also had problems. This is in line with the order of development in the minds of many people, and if it was not requested by the finance minister, who would be free to take such a big risk? Does it have anything to do with instructing the police to suppress the people?

"But this is not enough!"

The Prime Minister who was the driving force behind this incident was sitting by the fireplace. The temperature in Gefra in late October had begun to drop significantly.

The biggest difference between island countries and landlocked countries is the humidity in the air. The air humidity in Gefra is very humid. Once a person gets older, if he did not take care of himself when he was young, he will be in trouble after autumn.

The pain in their joints meant they couldn't do without blankets and fireplaces much of the time.

He held the fire shears in his hand and moved some firewood to make them looser, so that the fire would slowly weaken.

A little far away from the fireplace, there are also some nobles gathered, and these nobles are all supporters of the Prime Minister to some extent.

Their families have always been allies with each other, and they have maintained a very good relationship from the lord era to now.

The aristocratic group will never disappear, but sometimes they need to restrain themselves when the imperial power is strong. But once the imperial power shows signs of weakness, the aristocratic group will quickly revive and rise.

These people were sitting or standing, quietly listening to the Prime Minister's opinions, "I know what kind of person the Chancellor of Finance is, treacherous, despicable, shameless, nasty, and shameless."

"I'm ashamed to be his colleague!", he said and chuckled.

After being frustrated for so many years, he finally got an opportunity that appeared out of nowhere and he couldn't let it go. At this time, he was in a happy mood, so while cursing the Chancellor of Finance, he also made a little joke.

"This blow cannot defeat him. Our Majesty requires him to pull up the financial index as soon as possible. As long as he can do this, no matter what changes happen next, His Majesty will not give up on him."

The Prime Minister hung the fire shears on a small wooden button by the fireplace, looked up at the gentlemen in the room, "At least he will show that he wants to protect the Chancellor of the Exchequer to the death!"

"I know him very well. I have known him for more than 40 years. I know what kind of person he is, so our first battlefield is the Gaevra Financial Index."

The Prime Minister has known His Majesty the Emperor since he was a child. They were more than ten years apart in age. At that time, His Majesty the Emperor was not a prince who was favored by people.

There are more outstanding princes above him. Whether they are princes or princesses, they all have admirable backgrounds.

Only the current Emperor is just a child born unexpectedly. In order to prevent him from seizing the throne, some people privately called him a "bastard".

They tried to use blood to completely eliminate him from the ranks of successors, but these people ultimately failed.

His Majesty the Emperor may not be the smartest one, and he may not be the one with the noblest blood, but he is the cruelest one.

All those who were dissatisfied with him, all those who were unwilling to bow their heads, were killed by him. They were killed by a bastard. In the end, the bastard ascended the throne.

He is a ruthless person with the potential to be a tyrant, and he is also a decisive enough person. As long as he thinks that is the bottom line, no one can touch it.

If the Prime Minister and His Majesty the Emperor don't want to go to a complete war and compete for life and death, then it is best for them to compete within the "rules of the game" to determine the outcome.

His Majesty the Emperor has stipulated the scope of this game, which is the financial index, so the first thing they have to do is to pull down the financial index.

"As long as the Minister of Finance cannot complete His Majesty's mission, Your Majesty will not continue to protect him, and he will definitely lose."

The Prime Minister said with a calm smile on his face, "Then we will sit at the card table with His Majesty."

None of the gentlemen in the room were thinking about what the fall in the financial index would do to a country where power is at its core.

If in the Federation, capital controls everything, then in Gefra, power controls everything.

Society and governance are different, so people think about different things. What if the federal president lets the federal industrial index plummet for his own personal rights?

Immediately someone will bring up the impeachment of Mr. President, and Congress will even intervene.

But here, no one cares about those small problems, they only think about what they can get by doing this.

What's more, how come a group of aristocrats behind the scenes don't know that they are shorting financial indexes at this time. Anyway, the money is going to evaporate, so it is better to evaporate into their pockets.

"I need you to bring the index down, and at the same time we need to prepare a big gift for our chancellor."

The nobles around them nodded one after another. Their faces may have been reserved and did not show overly exaggerated expressions, but everyone's eyes were shining with excitement.

Once the prime minister succeeds in his power struggle, the good days of these nobles will come. They will take over a large number of departments with real power. At least until the next world war, they can have real power.

Everyone thought for a while, and someone asked, "What do you think of Lynch?"

The speaker was in his fifties, with some gray hair. He was sitting on an exaggerated high-backed chair, his legs crossed, and the surface of his shiny leather boots reflected the flickering firelight in the fireplace.

This guy is a bit thin, his cheekbones look a bit high, and his eyes are not very big, but long and narrow, giving him a somewhat eerie feeling.

His words focused everyone's attention on him, "Lin Qi also has a group of small nobles now, and there are more or less some of them, which can be regarded as a force."

"He doesn't get along well with our Majesty. Maybe we can win over him and his people."

When it comes to Lynch, everyone has different expressions. Lynch has refreshed their understanding of the world.

I came to Gaevra three times, and within a total time of less than two months, I actually formed my own aristocratic group, and it was still the only core. This ability is very terrifying.

If he was born in the age of lords, he might not have anything to do with the royal family now.

"The lower-class nobles have no value to us." The nobles who thought they were in their forties and seemed gentle, refused.

Non-hereditary nobles and earls and below are called lower nobles. These nobles are just lucky for a moment. They will soon lose the privileges and glory of the nobles. Therefore, in the eyes of the traditional great nobles, this kind of "noble" is only three generations old. Yes, there is actually no difference between them and civilians.

The aristocrat who seemed a bit gloomy before smiled and said, "No matter how little, it is still a force, and they are rich and have made a lot of money recently, and they are also one of the main short sellers."

The Prime Minister was thoughtful after listening to this. Lynch was the first person to short the Gavera Financial Index. He once suspected that all this was caused by Lynch.

But he denied his idea, because it was all too coincidental. If the coincidence reached a certain level, it might be a real coincidence.

Lynch does not have that much energy to stir up the aristocratic structure that has not changed in Gaevra for decades with his own power. He may be just one of many coincidences that contributes to the operation of the general trend.

It's like every change of power always gives people the feeling of writing an epic. Everyone feels that they are a small individual in the epic, but they are also the one who writes history themselves.

"I'll talk to Lynch, any power is worth fighting for now for us!"
