0098 The pursuit of eating
In a country like the Byle Federation, people are always joking, half-helpless, and that taxes and deaths are things that no one can avoid.
In fact, in addition to taxes and death, there is another thing that people cannot avoid, whether they are born, old, sick or dead, and that is political stance.
There are three major parties in the Union of Bayle, which is also required by the Charter of the Federation of Bayl, and at all times, there must be three political parties in the Federation of Bayle vying for the power to govern.
The Federal Progressive Party, the Federal Conservative Party, and the Federal Socialist Party, these three political factions are in fact sometimes very aggressive in what appears to be a loose and liberal political environment.
Even when they were in prison, the court would ask them to fill out a questionnaire that included the prisoner's political affiliation, and then arrange the prison and prison cells where they would serve their sentences.
His Excellency the Mayor was very satisfied with Lynch's answers, reactions, and ideas, and his political position was his last question, if Lynch had a different political stance from his own, he would downplay Lynch's role in this, and even interview some local capitalists, so that they could find a way to replace Lynch, and then drive Lynch to other places.
It is simply impossible for a capitalist from another party to grow on the territory of the Progressive Party, unless His Excellency the Mayor decides to give up his future political life or switch sides to help Lynch rise for free.
Politicians and capitalists are always complementary to each other, and capitalists provide politicians with enough political donations, provide them with jobs, and provide more content related to urban construction.
In the same way, politicians will give back to the capitalists what they want, the tilt of policies, some development plans tailored around the capitalists.
This requires both parties to trust each other and be close in some cooperation, where people cannot trust "outsiders", they only trust "their own people".
What kind of people are "their own people"?
It is clear that people who share the same political stance and are united by the same goal are their own people.
Fortunately, Lynch was very satisfied with the answer he gave him, and he did not mind introducing Lynch into the Progressive Party, allowing the forces of capital to invade the party, which is not a scandal in the Union of Byle, and any well-known politician has the support of capitalists and even conglomerates behind him.
Without the support of these people, even the most amazing politicians would not be able to do anything in this magical land!
Of course, the political environment of Bayler is still very loose, at least on the surface, there has never been a **** against civilians, the people can say that they are Progressive Party members in the morning, and they can change their position in the afternoon to become supporters of the Conservative Party, no one will say about them, at most some ordinary people will call them shameless.
Such an environment is indeed very loose, without any substantive application, without a long review and approval, only one sentence, one sentence of approval, and the whole process is basically completed.
However, after leaving the bottom of society, in the middle and upper strata of society, the political environment will become relatively strict, and it is not easy for people like capitalists and politicians to change their positions, and it is easy to cause some trouble if they are not careful.
There are other, more complicated cases, but that's not relevant now.
Lynch had looked up some information before going to the banquet and had some knowledge of the Progressive Party, and what he had just said was not entirely flattering to His Excellency the Mayor.
In his eyes, the Progressive Party is indeed much better than the Conservative Party, which is currently in power, and the political platform of the Conservative Party is a dull development, which is why isolationism has prevailed in recent years.
In a way, the Bayler Federation did not participate in international disputes and wars more, and worked hard to develop science and technology and industry behind closed doors, which seems to have made great progress in some aspects.
However, this also lays a hidden danger for the Bailer Federation.
Perhaps people today do not realize that with the development of science and technology, the concept of Blue Star will change from "planet" to "village".
It takes about a month and a half to get from the Byle Confederation to the United Kingdom of Zariscu, which has a land route and a sea route, and people will not be interested in such a distant country, nor will they believe that this distant country can influence the Byle Confederation.
But when planes, or some other faster means of moving are coming along, it will greatly reduce the perception of distance, and it may be in the morning and in the afternoon or the next day in the United Kingdom of Zariscu.
Today's rejection of the outside world will inevitably lead to external isolation of the Federation in the future—when other countries begin to develop rapidly through exchanges, the Federation will gradually fall behind and eventually be eliminated.
While the Conservatives are still singing the praises of isolationism, there are already some problems in the Union of Bailer, and if these problems cannot be solved in a short period of time, they will inevitably affect the future for a long time to come.
Compared to the Conservatives, the Progressive Party's political platform and its ideas are clearly more in line with the world's trends and Lynch's needs for the future.
Integrating into the international community is the most correct choice!
He shared some of his own views on his dissatisfaction with the Conservative Party, which resonated well with His Excellency the Mayor.
Sometimes you don't need to praise someone, just criticize their opponents to get that person's appreciation, and this appreciation will satisfy him more than a faint praise of him.
"Your opinion is very advanced ......," the smile on the Mayor's face was always there, and he paused at this point, the door of the room opened, and Ferral quickly observed the two of them, and then told them that lunch was ready.
Ferrale breathed a sigh of relief from the happy atmosphere between the two, Lynch was a guy who looked tender and sometimes made people feel a little shy, but in fact he was very assertive and very tough, he was afraid that this guy would fall out with the mayor, but now it seems that the two get along well.
"Then let's fill our stomachs first, shall we?" the Mayor's slightly negotiating tone and the smile on his face made Ferral even more shocked, the superior will not show a certain preference, but they will show it through the details.
This kind of consultative tone does not often happen in the working life of His Excellency the Mayor, and Ferral feels more and more that Lynch is a wonder boy.
Lynch stood up and straightened his clothes, "Of course, Your Excellency!"
The two of them walked into the dining room, where there were only two seats on the edge of the table, and there were only two sets of utensils on the table, and Ferral's dining place was not here, although he was a personal entourage of the Mayor.
Originally, according to the plan, Ferral should have quit to eat at this time, there is a special waiter, but he took the job of waiter, and wanted to hear how Lynch impressed His Excellency the Mayor.
After the two sat down, the mayor glanced at Ferral, who was drinking wine, and then withdrew his gaze, he felt that Ferral was very sensible, knew that some words were not suitable for others to hear, and was a reliable person.
Today's lunch is a combination of steak and fish steak, with a T-bone steak as the base, and one dish can taste three different styles of food, and has a variety of flavor variations, which is the happiness of rich people.
While the poor are still looking for how to fill their stomachs, they have begun to pursue more variations in taste, more layered textures, and finally an aftertaste that stays in the mouth.
The poor eat is the real meal, just to fill their stomachs.
Rich people eat for enjoyment, and putting food in their stomachs is just a process that cannot be omitted.
