Darkstone Code

Chapter 1463: Chapter 1461: We Are Very Good at This

The next morning, Lynch appeared in the campaign office.

The election team had previously met with Mr. Truman and also received the check!

Lynch’s, the Military Industrial Group’s, the Maritime Group’s, as well as some other upstream and downstream companies.

When these major figures contribute money, the upstream and downstream industries know what to do.

Whether their employees like Mr. Truman or even know him, these people are just names on a list representing their real existence.

As for their positions, they have long been decided by the capitalists.

With a large influx of funds, the campaign team has already begun working, first addressing the issue of poster printing for Mr. Truman.

This involves millions of posters and the effects that extend from them!

At this time, Federation people have a... very special sentiment towards posters, some would collect them and paste them in their bedrooms or workplaces.

Posters printed on good quality materials may also be circulated in other ways.

Therefore, printing posters is also a very important task.

When Lynch arrived, everyone else also gathered.

"Right timing, you can give us some advice on selecting the photos..."

Many photos were spread out on the table, all of Mr. Truman.

There was an image of him sitting behind the desk, a profile picture of him speaking loudly, and a photo of him waving his fist while giving a speech...

A lot of photos, and they needed to select some of them for printing. Choosing the right photos can cultivate more positive feelings toward Mr. Truman.

If unsuitable ones are selected, naturally it might lessen people’s expectations of him.

After seriously looking through these photos, Lynch hesitated a bit, "I didn’t see any photos of him in military attire."

"The Federation Government is currently enlisting across society, and with the imminent possibility of war, we can leverage these elements."

"People want a President who is very knowledgeable about warfare, so our people won’t feel lost during the war. We need to highlight Mr. Truman’s military talents and the fact that he has served."

"If necessary, I think inviting him to shoot some recruitment ads could be more effective."

After considering for a moment, someone in the office offered a different view.

"We consistently emphasize the separation of military and government affairs, if this time we blur Mr. Truman’s identity, will it bring some negative effects?"

This is also an issue. The Federation’s power separation system is very sound, at least that’s how it looks now, the military has scarcely been infiltrated by the power of capital, which is also the core reason the Federation Government system hasn’t been shaken by capital.

No matter how much capital invades the Federation Government, as long as the military is stable, neither capital nor government will be thrown into chaos.

So delineating boundaries is very important.

Old Glendon shook his head, "People admire masculinity, highlighting Mr. Truman’s past as a soldier at this time will not affect him. Lynch’s proposal is very valuable for reference, perhaps we could try it."

"The future Federation President personally participating in recruitment promotion is indeed a correct political demonstration."

"Also, I believe the military won’t mind him crossing the line a bit..."

They certainly wouldn’t mind, the military’s relationship with Mr. Truman is very solid, and if the military has no dissatisfaction, unexpected incidents are unlikely.

This point was quickly recorded.

The election is a very important matter, following that, the photographer and members of the campaign office went to the Ministry of International Affairs to arrange for Mr. Truman to shoot some photos in military attire.

Meanwhile, Lynch continued discussing the upcoming campaign strategies with everyone.

Once the poster content is confirmed, from March they need to start preparing for a nationwide release in the Federation.

Meanwhile, the Progressive Party has another candidate, and both parties might have competition regarding election issues, along with external competition; resolving these competitors effectively is the main task of the campaign office.

Helping their employer win the race and collecting all the dirt on opponents to make them withdraw prematurely.

"We have strong influence in the South, I suggest starting from the southernmost point and moving north for publicity, like some Conservative Party territories, we can completely let them pass."

The plan is actually already made, they say it just to explain to Lynch so he knows what’s happening.

Abandoning certain states is a strategy that’s not very clever but practically difficult to execute.

Young Glendon looked at Lynch and said earnestly, "We’ve all run for President and won in the election, we’re well aware that there are places we don’t need to compete."

"No matter how much funding we invest, these places won’t open doors for us, at most it increases local support by three to five percent, which won’t affect the overall situation."

"At the same time, we would lose too much energy and resources, it’s better to concentrate them on our constituencies and swing states!"

"If we can capture the majority of the swing states, then we’re basically sure to win!"

In fact, it’s true, Federation citizens’ political positions are very interesting; they don’t change easily, and in some non-swing state areas, political positions are highly unified.

This owes to capitalists’ influence, capitalists have an unusual effect on political positions.

In simpler terms, on Conservative Party territory, capitalists wouldn’t easily promote content beneficial to the Progressive Party. If the Progressive Party wants to promote party publicity in Conservative Party territory, the funds, manpower, and resources needed will be infinitely more!

No organization’s or individual’s resources are infinite, as long as they’re not infinite, choices will arise.

Instead of spending ten thousand efforts for a one percent gain, it’s better to divide ten thousand into three thousand and seven thousand.

Three thousand to consolidate your base, seven thousand for attacking the swing states.

Sometimes the people in swing states are very fortunate, especially in election years, they’ll receive unexpected benefits of all sorts.

Beer and fried chicken being the most common, before there were even parties distributing adult welfare to voter groups!

But knowing this is one thing, doing it is another.

There are always people who think they’re different, the whole world should revolve around them, so these candidates will often spend some energy in states they can’t win.

Some call this candidates’ attention to voters, but young Glendon believes it’s completely unnecessary.

"Another candidate outside the door won’t spare these states, he’ll apply pressure on behalf of us."

"And even if we go, those people won’t vote for us, so we might as well focus our main efforts on the swing states."

"My plan is..."

Soon, the campaign plan was laid out. The team’s work is very experienced and orderly, without instantly discussing the final voting situation at the end of the year, but dividing the work into phases.

What to do first, what follows, what to do in between, and finally, how to cope with various problems encountered.

This is why the campaign team fees with these elder statesmen, especially those of previous presidents, are very expensive.

They know what problems might arise during the election process and how to address those problems when encountered.

They can not only provide solutions but even solve these problems themselves.

So it’s quite normal that they charge a lot!

Some campaign teams are cheaper, but... they’re only professionals at swindling money, not good at anything else.

Listening to these arrangements, Lynch was very satisfied, though unfortunately Catherine hadn’t arrived yet, but she wouldn’t miss any of this; she would definitely come into contact with it.

He then asked, "Will the President’s issues affect Mr. Truman’s campaign?"

This is another issue; the President and Mr. Truman are very close, if they... so Lynch raised this question.

Old Glendon shook his head, "We control the media, we’ll have the media separate them in coverage..."

With a rare smile, he said, "After all, people always believe the newspaper and TV, don’t they?"

After conveying the work situation to Mr. Truman, he left. This time, he didn’t go to the Darkstone Fund or elsewhere, but directly went to Darkstone Security Company.

Although all belong to the "Darkstone system," it’s independent from the group!

Upon entering the company, Lynch directly found the Senior Soldier and asked a question, "Do you have reliable people, your trusted personnel, and..." he gestured slightly with his hand, "you know, the kind we can control the situation."

The Senior Soldier was surprised but didn’t ask for details, he thought for a moment, then nodded, "There’s a young man, my cousin..."

While saying this, he was somewhat embarrassed.

After his wife gave birth to a child and got pregnant again, the Senior Soldier’s income and the past were completely different concepts.

Maybe to show off to the family, she took the nanny and chef back to the countryside and gave a full display in front of the family!

Now everyone knows her husband is making big money, becoming a senior person in the company, and they’re all envious to no end.

Some people’s envy is just envy, but some people’s envy is different.

At a relative’s request, her cousin was sent to the company.

After strict training, he’s now at the lowest level of field duty.

The Senior Soldier felt a bit embarrassed, thinking the young man got in through the backdoor.

Even though Darkstone Security recruits broadly from society, it doesn’t mean those open recruitments have no requirements.

At the very least, these people need some skills.

Proficient in electrical work, adept at using explosives, versed in chemistry, or proficient in other skills that can be converted into combat power is acceptable, which doesn’t include proficient farming.

Logically speaking, he shouldn’t have gotten in, and that’s the reason for the Senior Soldier’s awkwardness.

"I want to meet him..."

Lynch said.
