Chapter 226: America’s National Conditions Are Like This
America, a free country, fell into weakness after starting a financial war with the European mixed-race family with a thousand-year-old bloodline.
"It's really full of holes." Lilith Morgan rubbed her fingers.
On the bronze table in front of her, there was very bad news.
The development of a country is diversified, or in other words, it follows the historical trend. There can be no sudden turn or diametrically opposite changes.
It's like an emperor thinks this is wrong, I need to change the system and eradicate the corrupt civil service group, but the result is often useless.
This is the case with America.
Taking a deep breath, Lilith, who has already become the chairman of the parliament, turned her head and looked at the two people sitting beside her.
They are Evan Lorcy of the Lorcy family and Deerkoff Kennedy of the Kennedy family.
The former wore a neat suit, a white tie, and a watch on his wrist that is standard for American government officials.
"Mr. Evan, do you have anything to say about these things?" Lilith asked him.
As Lilith's personal secretary, Mr. Ivan waved his hand and explained casually.
"I don't have anything to suggest."
"Really?" Lilith turned her head to look at Deercliff Kennedy.
What do you think?
Deercliff reached out and picked up the content that Lilith put on the table.
This thick stack of documents described the collapse of the Balzac Cross-Sea Bridge and the funding needs for the cleanup work.
The Balzac Bridge is a necessary commuting channel for the Port of Balzac. If it is not cleaned up, the port will be temporarily unusable.
This also means that Nissan, Toyota, Volkswagen, General Motors, Jaguar Land Rover and other mass cars will not be able to export to all parts of the world through the Port of Balzac.
This will give America, which is already in a worse situation, one blow after another.
If the union makes trouble and demands to continue to increase the legal rights and interests of workers in the union, then America can only use its trump card - crazy printing of US dollars, dragging the world to pay for its interests.
"The inability of important ports to travel will lead to rising prices of commodities such as food and sugar, and increase import and export funds on the northeast coast, with a very wide range of impact."
Lilith spoke in a plain voice, but it gave Ivan and Deercliff a deafening feeling.
"The key is that the media in various countries in the world need us to give a talk."
"No, Congressman Lilith." Deercliff shook his head and replied.
"The government has the right to choose not to answer their questions."
"Citizens have the right to know the truth."
"Yes, they have the right to be deceived."
Lilith choked, why is your thing so abstract! Why do I feel like I'm seeing it for the first time!
Taking a deep breath, Lilith gritted her teeth and said, "Who else is in this position?"
"I am the permanent undersecretary, that is, your permanent secretary. Mr. Iven is your permanent private secretary. I also have a chief private secretary, and he is the chief private secretary of the permanent secretary. There are ten permanent deputy secretaries-general, eighty-seven deputy secretaries-general and two hundred and nineteen secretary assistants directly under my jurisdiction..."
"The parliamentary private secretary is directly under the jurisdiction of the chief private secretary. According to convention, you will get two parliamentary private secretaries, and then you can appoint two parliamentary private secretaries of your own..."
After listening to all of Deercliffe's description, Lilith was somewhat calm.
Is there any worse news than the Balzac Bridge?
Yes, for example, now because of the decay and aging of the bureaucratic machine, the roots of America have rotted away.
Thinking of this, it suddenly feels that the collapse of a bridge is nothing, isn't it.
As long as you find a worse place than the rotten side, then this is not a problem.
"This is the British system."
"Yes, Congressman Lilith." Deercliffe pursed his lips and replied.
"America copied from the UK, this is tradition."
"...Do they all know how to type?"
"No, none of us know how to type, Senator Lilith."
After a pause, Deercliff continued: "Mrs. Meyer types, she is a secretary."
"What a pity, we can all open an agency."
"Oh, Senator Lilith, you are such a joke."
Lilith shook her wrist and sat up straight: "Okay, now it's time to get to the point."
"What do you think about the handling of these companies?"
Lilith said, taking out the documents that had been prepared long ago and pushing them in front of the two.
"Actually, we have no opinion."
"Is that so." Lilith clasped her hands together and glanced at the two people sitting in front of her.
Well, they all smelled like salted fish.
"It seems that this department must break through the constraints of the tight bureaucratic system. We need to open the windows and let in fresh air." Lilith pointed to the window on the side of the room, her tone ups and downs.
"Get some fresh air, get rid of the so-called red tape, and revitalize this creaking old bureaucratic machine."
Dirkov blinked and gave an example: "You mean a big cleanup."
"Yes, a big cleanup, too many people just sit behind the desk."
As she said this, Lilith stiffened unconsciously, as if she was the kind of person sitting at the desk.
Uh...it's not important.
Ignoring the error in her words, Lilith coughed lightly: "Of course not people like me. We must now eliminate those who cause trouble for each other."
"Eliminate?" Ivan tilted his head, then turned to look at Dirkoff.
"I think you mean to re-plan and deploy them." Dirkoff summarized Lilith's key points.
"Yes, no, no." Lilith shook her head and waved her hand: "I'm not saying to lay them off."
"I'm talking about reasonable planning. This political system is too bloated. I must cut off the unimportant parts and make the originally complex system clearer and simpler."
"What is unnecessary?" Ivan asked.
Lilith thought for a moment, then looked at Dirkoff.
When it comes to knowing the operation of this machine, Dirkoff is the real old bird.
Being stared at by Lilith, Dirkoff took a deep breath and said helplessly: "Senator Lilith, in fact, everyone here has a role, and it is difficult for me to judge who is useless."
"Really." Lilith looked down and saw the information about the collapse of the Balzac Bridge in Dirkoff's hand, and thought of the problem in her heart.
"How does this machine handle the Balzac Bridge?"
"Actually, this is the scope of the secretary's work, and I am not responsible for this."
As if afraid that Lilith could not understand, Dirkoff continued to explain: "Every secretary has his own scope of work."
"What is your scope."
"Manage these secretaries."
"Ivan, what about you?"
"Manage these secretaries."
After a little silence, Lilith asked a little tangled: "Who is responsible for this work."
Dirkov answered seriously: "You need to ask the secretary in charge of this aspect."
So, I need to find a secretary to judge [who is responsible for this project].
You put this doll!
"Yes, Councillor Lilith, this is the scope of the secretary's job."
Listening to Ivan's words, Lilith covered her forehead and felt so hopeless for the first time.
Mixed-blood, with excellent talent and wisdom, but facing the compromise machine of various interest groups that has been entangled for two hundred years, she also felt helpless.
