0286 Daydreaming
"Welcome, it's nice to have you here......", Ms. Tracey seemed to hear from the doorman, who was already standing outside the house when the car stopped, looking very welcoming.
It stands to reason that the duty of greeting guests at the family banquet should be done by the husband, and the Federation has always been a patriarchal society, but there are no men outside the door, only Ms. Tracy alone, which reminds Lynch of her current job.
At the height of the feminist movement, women used methods such as "women can live alone" and "women should leave men and choose independence" to prove that women can live without men, and there are many women who do so.
Men are no longer a necessity in life, they have their own jobs, they have a stable income, and they can make a good living.
They can even go to bars at night like men, sleep with different people every day, and don't have to bear the condemnation from the public opinion, because they are all new women, and they all prove that women can live without being dependent on men.
That was when Tracey was younger.
Lynch smiled and nodded, shook hands with Ms. Tracy, and the two walked towards the room, he thought there should be a child of Ms. Tracy inside, or a servant or something, but he saw two little old men who looked a little like each other.
One was sitting on the sofa in a very homely dress, holding a few bites of an apple in one hand, and was arguing fiercely with another little old man in a priest's attire, until Miss Tracy coughed lightly, and the two stopped arguing.
"I'm sorry to make you see the joke......", Ms. Tracey was a little embarrassed, and anyone who entered the house and saw someone arguing would have a feeling of "is this not welcome".
It's just that Ms. Tracey's apology has not yet been finished, and the little old man in civilian clothes interrupts her, "I don't think it's a joke, and the thing we argue about is not a joke!"
The little old man stood up, walked up to Lynch and stretched out his hand, "I am the father of this girl, you can call me Jackson ......", he glanced at the other little old man who stood up, "This is my brother, Jefferson." ”
As the two shook hands, Jackson also talked about their names, "I know, our names sound a little ......," he shook his head, "but we're really brothers." ”
In the era of individuality, parents generally do not give their children names with similar pronunciations, independence, uniqueness, this is the essence of the free spirit of the free federation, each person is unique, but the pronunciation is somewhat similar and sometimes confuses two individuals, the more brothers, the greater the difference in the pronunciation of their names.
Jefferson, who looked more like a gentleman, shook Lynch's hand and introduced himself as if he hadn't heard Jackson introduce him to him.
He also did not forget to tell Lynch about his job, that he was a priest, that the people of the Federation of Baile admired and believed in the existence of God, and that the priest had a high prestige among the people.
The devotion of the people to the faith also gives the priest some power to interfere in politics, such as "parish canvassing".
This is a term peculiar to the Byle Federation, and there are churches in every city, around which a psychological parish is formed, and the priest of each church is the core of the parish.
The votes of the parishioners have also become an indispensable part of every election campaign, and it can even be said that it is an important part.
Whoever can say that God is on their side will be able to gain the votes of a large number of parishioners.
Do not think that this is a simple matter, because it is difficult to convince a pious priest to choose who to choose, they have long since given themselves to God, and they will not be shaken by the action of other people's external forces.
But it is not a very difficult task, because it is very easy to convince God, all it takes is a check or some promise, and God will send it down for the priests to carry out.
After shaking hands with the two, Lynch found a place to sit down and waited for dinner to begin.
During this free time, they made small talk about recent changes in federal policy, which most men liked to talk about, and they could express their feelings and criticize the new policies to show that they were smarter than Mr. President and the people in the presidential palace.
As they talked, they couldn't help but talk about the unplanned disarmament issue this year, many veterans who returned to their hometowns had no place to accept them, and they roamed the streets all day long like those homeless people, which made the stable order hide a very unstable element.
These groups of veterans, who are skilled in all kinds of weapons, tactics, and solo or group killing, will become the biggest and saddest joke of all time when they join a gang or decide to commit a crime.
In fact, many gangs have begun to recruit these veterans to act as thugs, and some can refuse these invitations under the self-restraint of universal values and morals, but others have joined them.
Jackson said something that Lynch didn't know, "A lot of people think that the next tapering of the military is a sign of peace, but people don't know that the president has just issued a new decree, this year's military budget is twice as large as last year's, and some military outfit plans are also on the agenda!"
This is the first time that the military budget has been increased and the standard equipment has been updated after six consecutive years of cutting the military budget and not carrying out large-scale rearmament.
It is no wonder that the Federal Industrial Index has been on the rise these days, and some Bupayn experts believe that this is the obvious benefit of "internationalization", when in fact it is only a few heavyweights that have led the overall index up.
Of course, the people did not show any antagonism about the issuance of this decree, because this is the Progressive Party, just as the Conservative Party canvassed for votes to declare that it would suppress the military after coming to power, the Progressive Party came to power and the good days of the army had come.
It's just that these are linked to disarmament, and there is a confusing feeling.
Soon, Mrs. Tracy's cook prepared dinner, and the family sat down at the table with Lynch, a guest who had also brought a gift for his visit, and who did not need to be reminded of this little problem alone.
A bottle of wine, which had been opened, was placed on the table, and the content of their conversation changed from those serious political news trends to slightly more ordinary topics, such as the new movies released in the recent period, and the movements of some celebrities, all of which were very light-hearted and leisurely.
After the meal, Lynch and Ms. Tracy came to her study, sat on either side of the desk, and she personally picked up the teapot brought by the maid and poured a cup of flower tea for Lynch, "I need your help, Lynch......"
"Those people in the United Nations Games are not good people, and they are not easy to deal with, and our individual forces are weak, so we have to unite, like I will support those ideas of yours, will you also support me?"
In the face of Ms. Tracy's expression, Lynch slowly picked up the teacup, sniffed, and then took a sip, "Of course, ma'am, but I want to state one thing first, this is on the premise of not destroying my personal interests, I hope you can understand too." ”
Tracy nodded, and Lynch's statement made her breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time she felt something indescribable.
Lynch's undisguised emphasis on his own interests sometimes makes it difficult to associate him with his age, and only an old man of Jackson's age can shamelessly advocate "self-interest (everything is premised on the premise that one's own interests are not harmed)", and young people often have an inexplicable mood, even if they suffer their own losses, they must conform to people's positioning of them.
It's stupid, but it's also easy to put to use, like the young girls, the boys.
Lynch is an outlier!
The mood was even more congenial, and Ms. Tracy offered some of her ideas for a more prominent role in the women's professional movement.
This is actually like the workers' union demanding that it must exist and occupy an important link in the relationship between labor and management, and that their purpose is to improve their status and indispensability.
The main purpose was also the weight of the broadcasting rights and the dominance of the field as a whole.
"Lady Tracy, have you ever thought about how much money you're going to have to spend on running this thing?", Lynch chatted with her for a while, and then suddenly asked a very important question.
During their negotiations, Ms. Tracy has been imagining the future, and what she says is very high, very empty, and the specific content of the operation is not involved, such as the question of funding.
Formulating an industry standard and opening up a new field is not something that can be said by mouth, but still costs money in the final analysis, which is precisely the biggest shortcoming of the Women's Rights Protection Association.
In terms of money, ten feminist associations are not as rich as one joint sports club, and the confrontation between the joint games and them continues to this day, but the joint games don't want to touch the big bomb of women's rights, it's not that they can't get rid of Ms. Tracy and others.
Ms. Tracey didn't seem to think about it, but Lynch continued, "What you said before is actually based on the fact that we have enough budget, set industry standards, let others listen to your ideas and opinions, occupy a higher position in a new field, get more power, first of all, you need to have money. ”
"I'll give you some simple examples, once our new agency is operational, the upfront publicity costs, the cost of organizing competitions, the cost of bonuses at all levels, and the wages of workers in all regions of the country......"
"That's a lot of money, probably tens of millions, Ms. Tracy, how much can you come up with if I agree and also give you an important position?"
"Or how much money can the Federal Women's Defence Association come up with to run this?"
