Chapter 729: New job and limited truth

People who have never worked in the federal government system will never understand how difficult it is here.

And not everyone who works for the federal government is a politician.

They separate "law enforcement officers" and "rulers" very clearly. The former are just ordinary people who are no different from those working in factories. They are not politicians, they are just workers, workers of power.

The gentlemen grant them the authority generated by power to use, to maintain the status and authority of the gentlemen.

But this does not mean that they are politicians, the ruling class, at most they are part of the privileged class, not the highest part.

True politicians, rulers, refer to those who can decide the fate of many people, because of the consequences brought by a novel idea of theirs, or a hot head.

Mayors, governors, presidents, multi-level legislators, government officials, these are serious politicians, or quasi-politicians, their status is clearly higher than law enforcement officers.

The Tobacco, Alcohol and Hazardous Materials Administration is a typical law enforcement department. They are assigned by the gentlemen to escort the policies of the gentlemen.

They are typical "working class," but this work is slightly more decent than the work in the factory.

But it still doesn't change their insignificance in politics.

Director Dale dreams of becoming a ruler, not a worker.

If nothing unexpected happens, he only has the opportunity to contact a little when he is doing well in his life, when he is about to retire, and then all the efforts he has made in his life will become the steps for his children to start.

But... he doesn't want this, he also wants to taste the taste of power, true power!

He is like a farmer, planting the seeds of power all his life, but he cannot taste the fruits of power himself.

He has regrets in his life!

Even until death, he might not be able to close his eyes, because he has been paying all his life, and his children have clearly done nothing, but can inherit his fruits.

Of course, this is still under the condition that he is doing well. With his current actions, the original plan was only to become an ordinary committee member.

The "system" of the Federation is very interesting. From Congress, politicians divide power into many pieces by establishing one committee after another.

They say this is to avoid excessive concentration of power in the hands of some people.

So the committee is the core ruling institution of federal politics.

A committee has a chairman, but in Congress, most chairmen are nominal, and what really works are those executive committee members of the committee.

These executive committee members are not rotating. They will be responsible for this committee during their term of office. If a member of the House of Representatives can be re-elected for a long time, then he will always serve as an executive committee member of these committees, and even serve as an executive committee member of other committees.

So for those members who can occupy congressional seats for a long time, the political resources they hold are unimaginable for those "young people."

As for committee members, they are often served by members of the House of Representatives. They do not hold specific power, but are responsible for specific work.

Executive committee members list what needs to be done, and then they assign work, specific implementation.

Of course, this refers to Congress, the highest ruling institution of the Federation.

At the state level, it is not yet a committee of the State Legislature, just the Likai State Prohibition Committee under the Congressional Prohibition Committee. Its power has shrunk a lot.

Being a committee member may not have any use, it is still a marginal person, only when you become an executive committee member, responsible for presiding over the Prohibition work of the entire state of Likai State, this is the true contact with the "power layer."

From a worker of power to a lower-level ruler who holds part of the power in his hands, but it is still far away from the upper-level ruler!

However, for an "ordinary person," these are already the biggest improvements in his life!

Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, when he had already given up, Lan Si actually told him that he "won."

How could he not be excited?

"I... I am very excited now, sorry, I can't control myself!", he rolled down the window and hurriedly lit a cigarette. Nicotine allowed him to calm down a little.

Being a dog for the gentlemen did not bring hope, but working for Lan Si changed his life. Perhaps, this is the reason why God sent him to Jincheng!

Lan Si didn't have any big thoughts about these changes in him, or rather, emotions. He had seen more exaggerated ones, and some even knelt down to recognize his father.

This kind of scene can only be said to be very ordinary.

"After you go to the State Prohibition Committee, it is not that there is no task. You are going with a work task."

After about twenty or thirty seconds, Director Dale's emotions finally stabilized, and Lan Si continued, "So don't think about this matter too simply."

Director Dale, who had calmed down a lot, nodded vigorously, "No matter what the task is, Lan Si, look at my performance!"

He is like a child who has been promised to be a class monitor, eager to show his ability in front of the teacher.

Lan Si smiled and raised his hand to press, "Listen to me first."

Director Dale hurriedly pinched out the cigarette in his hand, threw it out of the window, and then turned to sit well, "You say."

"Some time ago, people from the Shengzhong Party followed Charles to trouble me."

"You know, I am not a stingy person, but I am not a generous person either!"

"I will not be stingy to let every friend of mine live a good life, but I will not be generous to those who have tried to hurt me and my friends."

"They provoked me first, so I have to find their trouble, understand?"

Director Dale nodded vigorously, "Understand, revenge!"

Lan Si pointed to him, "Good wording, revenge."

"Some practices of the Shengzhong Party have made them gain the support of people in their territory. In fact, I would rather call it an evil religious organization. If I directly send people to fight with them, it will be more troublesome."

"The local people will stand on their side to deal with me, which will make me spend more energy, manpower, and material resources, but I will not get the results I want."

"So I considered it and planned to solve the fact that they are popular with the locals first, and I need your help."

Director Dale listened very seriously, "What should I do?"

"Those conservative believers are very repulsive to drinking, so start with checking the wine, and expose all the criminal acts of the Shengzhong Party that they do not approve of."

"Our opponent this time is a group of... maybe their thoughts are still in the state of the end of the last century."

"They are accustomed to kidnapping, human trafficking, but they are very disgusted with destroying religion and faith."

"Your task is a bit heavy, of course, it is not completely without a clue."

Lan Si talked about the priest he caught. In fact, the more at this time, he chose to betray the Shengzhong Party, and he also hoped that the Shengzhong Party would be defeated.

He even hoped that Lan Si could win more than Lan Si himself, and only then would he not be frantically hunted down by the lunatics of Joshua!

Only by sending them all to hell can he live well!

So he cooperated with Lan Si incomparably. The rest of the matter is to catch as many people as possible, and then pry open the mouths of these people.

"I believe that your experience as a front-line director will be richer than mine, so I won't point out anything about work."

"But be careful, be careful about the people in the Prohibition Bureau in the north, be careful whether they might also be bought by the Shengzhong Party, so after you take office, you have to promote a plan."

"Let some agents circulate, don't let them stay there all the time, transfer the local agents out, and transfer the agents from other places in."

"As for what reason, I believe you understand better than me."

Director Dale nodded in approval and said, "This is no problem, but I have a question."

"I just arrived at the State Prohibition Committee to work. Will these ideas of mine get the support of other executive committee members?"

Lan Si was still slightly frowning, and when he heard him ask this question, his brows directly stretched out, "I will let Congress make a call to you, which is equivalent to a... special topic work, specifically to crack down."

Director Dale closed his eyes and took a deep breath. The means and techniques he had mastered over the years flashed through his mind one by one.

When he opened them again, a flash of essence flashed in his eyes, "I can, I can handle this work."

Lan Si patted the armrest, "Go back."

The motorcade began to turn around, "This is an opportunity, Dale, don't let me down, okay?" Dale smiled all over his face, "Look at my performance, Lan Si!"

He said and paused for a while, "My work here..."

"Leave it to Pang Da, I will talk to him in a few days, you prepare first."

The motorcade soon returned to the community. Director Dale bent down and got out of the car, then turned to watch Lan Si's motorcade leave.

He looked at the end of the road that he couldn't see, breathed a sigh of relief, and walked across the road with a relaxed smile on his face.

His wife and children were already waiting for him behind the door, and there was still some worry on their faces.

"Are you worried about me?", he saw the expressions on their faces and knew what they were thinking.

He laughed "Aha," "It's so touching, but I have to say, you don't need to worry at all, a good thing."

"Good thing?", his wife welcomed him in, took off his coat, and hung it on the coat rack on the side.

He nodded while taking off his hat, "Yes, good thing, I will soon go to the State Prohibition Committee to serve as an executive committee member."

!

His wife didn't know much about this, but his child was very sensitive, "My God, how did you do it?"

Director Dale looked at his family and decided to tell the truth, because he would definitely have more contact with Lan Si in the future.

He brought his family to the room, let them sit down, and then thought for a while, and found an entry point.

"Actually, I am accepting the help of Mr. Lan Si."

His wife asked, "Is it Mr. Lan Si White of the Lan Si family?"

Director Dale nodded, "Originally I thought I could make a career soon, and then leave here and return to Jinzhou, so at first I didn't pick you all up."

They all nodded, "But then I encountered many problems. The complexity of the struggle at the bottom is no less than the complexity of the struggle in Congress. I failed."

"Even at this moment, I don't have any hope of leaving here, so I picked you all up."

"Although I may have failed in my career, in terms of family, we are still complete."

"Just when I was most discouraged, Lan Si found me and talked to me about some things."

He paid attention to the expressions of his two children, because these things... for children who grew up in an "honest" family, they might not be good things.

His father as a law enforcement officer accepted the assistance as a criminal, no matter which one it was, it might cause a shock to their three views.

But what surprised him was that his youngest son said, "This is cool, isn't it?"

He didn't know how to deal with this situation for a while!

"You think it's cool?"

"Why?"

His youngest son shrugged, "That's the Lan Si family!"

"Do you know?"

"All the young people in the entire Jincheng want to join the Lan Si family, but their conditions for recruiting people are becoming more and more strict, and they almost can't join."

Looking at the expectant expression on his youngest son's face, Director Dale raised his hands and made a defensive gesture, "Stop!"

"Stop, don't say things I don't want to hear. Your task now is to study, so that you can inherit these things of mine in the future, instead of joining a gang!"

His youngest son showed a look of regret, "If I could join Lan Si, I would definitely be the coolest one in school!"

"Shut your mouth, don't even think about it!"

Director Dale's expression was a bit severe. Is it so easy to mix with a gang?

Out of a hundred people who mix with gangs, how many can mix out?

They only saw Lan Si's success, but ignored the tombstones of those dead people on both sides of the road that Lan Si walked along the way!

He stared at his son's eyes, "If I let me know that you still have this idea, I guarantee you won't get a penny from me!"

"And I will send you to military school and let you go to the front line."

"If you die on the front line, people will call us the parents of heroes, but if you die in a gang shootout, they will only say that we raised a..."

The youngest son sighed. In fact, he also knew that this was unlikely, "I know."

Director Dale looked at the other child and his wife again, "In short, now I work for Lan Si. Lan Si has a relationship in Congress and transferred me to the State Prohibition Committee to serve as an executive committee member. Basically, that's the situation."

"I got promoted!"

His wife was a little worried, "Is our recent consumption also..."

Director Dale didn't deny it, nor did he admit it. He changed the subject, "At the end of this month, I will go to Manton. You can choose to go with me or stay here."

"However, I suggest you stay here, because Lan Si is also here. This is his base camp, it will be very safe."

"I will come back when I have time, everything will get better, don't worry."

For a time, the news brought by Director Dale was too much. Except for the children, his wife couldn't accept it very much.

Her husband suddenly changed from working for the federal government to working for a gang leader, and even took black money. This change is indeed a bit too big!

But I have to say, such a life is actually quite good.

In the next two days, he began to prepare to deal with the work here. What work needs to be handed over, what work does not need to be dealt with, all need to be sorted out.

Lan Si soon found Pang Da to talk about this matter. For being a director, Pang Da was also full of confidence and excitement.

For him, becoming "stronger" can give Lisa more security.

And it's not just Lisa now, there is also his child. He needs to create a comfortable and safe environment for his family. As the director of the Prohibition Bureau, plus Lan Si behind him, he feels that he is terrible now!

Lan Si also explained some work to him, such as continuing to preside over the Prohibition Bureau's position on Prohibition work.

Those designated bars in Jincheng have been monopolized by Lan Si, but there are still some private bars selling smuggled alcohol, or alcohol they brewed themselves.

For those with very small scale, Lan Si does not intend to stop them. After all, this is also a way of life.

But for those on a scale, underground bars that transport alcohol in through smuggling, Lan Si requires the Prohibition Bureau to crack down resolutely!

Many people, in order to transport alcohol into Jincheng without being peeled by Lan Si, will first send the alcohol between Jincheng and Jinxing City, and then find a way to get it over by manpower.

Some are carried directly on their backs, some are driven in at night, in short, there are many ways.

These people disrupt the rules of the city and must be severely punished.

In addition to these things, Lan Si has also been very concerned about the war situation on the front line recently. After all, this determines the future of the Federation, and the future of these people.

During this period, newspapers have been mentioning the war situation in which the Federation participated. They used titles full of excitement and encouragement such as "Unbreakable Defense Line," "Will Like Steel," "Invincible Federation People" to publish the latest content.

Lan Si also reads newspapers every day. Of course, he can also make a phone call to understand, but he didn't do that.

What the newspaper says are some very beautiful things, such as the Federation people repelling the rapid division and mechanical division of the Dantela Republic many times, ensuring the advantage of the main battlefield.

This gives the people in the Federation a strange confidence in the war.

But Lan Si is not so optimistic, because through some details, it can be seen that even if they didn't lie, they also paid a lot of price.

Because the Federation is still continuing to conscript, and there is a possibility of expanding conscription, what does this mean?

This shows that the war damage ratio exceeded the expectations of the Ministry of National Defense and the military before the outbreak of the war. They originally thought that four million troops were enough to deal with this war, but now, it may not be enough!

This approach cannot be said to be very good, but it cannot be said to be very bad, at least... now the people of the Federation have enough confidence in the war, isn't it?
