Chapter 1339 Minister of Justice
The first person Zhang Changzhi met with was the current Attorney General Alec Clement, who is one of the leaders of the Federal Workers' Party, the fifth largest political party in the federal government.
It must be mentioned that the Federal Workers' Party is also a member of the current ruling party's joint cabinet. It is extremely powerful in the current federal political landscape. There are a total of nine senators and eighty-seven members of the House of Representatives, with more than ten star fields, and its strength is not inferior to the third largest political party, Social Democratic Alliance.
Alec Clement, as an important ally of the "People's Front", was also able to obtain the important position of Attorney General.
The place where the two met was a Western restaurant called "Guillaume". They had breakfast here before 6 a.m.
After a nurturing greeting between the two sides, the Attorney General complained about the increasingly heavy and busy work of the Justice Department, the stretched funding, the President's decisive style of conduct, the unreasonable difficulties of the Senate and the House of Representatives, the poor and chaotic political situation of the Earth Federation, etc.
Zhang Xin was impatient and finally interrupted the person's speech after eating halfway through: "Alec, can I call you that?"
Seeing Alec Clement shrugging and without any objection, Zhang Xin went straight to the topic: "Can you, Bernardine Clarkston, who is under your command, help me switch to the Columbus Star Domain in the near future?"
"Columbus Star Domain? As far as I know, it is likely to become the preferred invasion site for the High Court Expeditionary Force, right?"
Alec Clement couldn't help but 'tsk', he had learned the ruthlessness and viciousness of this divine power lord.
"Changzhi, it's hard for me. The key is that prosecutors such as Clarkstonter are still responsible for military purchase fraud cases. This is an ombudsman designated by the Judicial Committee of the Senate and the House of Representatives, and our Ministry of Justice cannot intervene."
"But it is the candidate recommended by the Ministry of Justice, right? I think if the Ministry of Justice decides to change him, it will always find a suitable reason. Of course, if the Ministry of Justice does not have it, I can provide you with it. What I need is the Ministry of Justice's internal doubts about Bernardin Clarkston's professionalism and professional ethics, and submit a proposal to remove the prosecutor."
Zhang Xin said, lowering his head and pulling the paella: "Alec, you have to understand. There are only more than two months since the election of the new term, and now Conzer News Group is a staunch ally of the Majestic Group."
Alec couldn't help but frown, although he had foreseen this scene long before he agreed to meet.
"Changzhi and Conzer News have always maintained neutrality."
"That was before, Conzer News had reasons to remain neutral, right? But now, it's different from the past."
Zhang Xin chuckled: "I noticed that you and your Federal Workers' Party have never been on our side. Not only have they not, they even contributed to the fire. So Alec, please give Claudean a reason to continue to be neutral?"
"But you should know, how strong Kemal Connery is in the Senate? If I don't work with him, then our Justice Department will do nothing, and this is a forced-"
When Alec found that Zhang Xin's lips curled slightly, he gradually turned cold and sneered, he couldn't help but compromise with helplessness: "The Ministry of Justice can submit an application to the Senate and House of Representatives to remove the prosecutor, and I can even ask you to designate the candidate for successor. However, accordingly, the Majestic Group will also help the Federal Workers' Party promote a certain bill at some time."
"This is impossible!"
Zhang Xin directly refused, and then said his offer: "Five hundred million federal coins, I mean charitable donations. You will designate a fund without specifying the purpose. After this matter is completed, I will assume that all the attacks on the Majestic Group by the Ministry of Justice have not occurred, otherwise-"
He inserted the knife in his hand heavily on the table: "I think the Federal Workers' Party will no longer be qualified to participate in the joint formation of a cabinet."
Alec Clemen's heart trembled slightly, and then she smiled bitterly: "Okay!"
He was not worth it in his heart. This outstanding special prosecutor actually sold only 500 million federal coins.

The next meeting with Senator Qi Changchun, Chairman of the Civil Armed Management Committee, was much simpler.
During the meeting, Zhang Xin expressed his intention to build three super-large transportation stations in Yingzhou, and Qi Changchun happily agreed. The man even said that he could apply for a special subsidy in the Senate and the House of Representatives on the grounds of preventing possible pirate wars. The funds were not much, only about 8 billion federal coins, but to a certain extent, it could alleviate the financial pressure of the Magnificent Group to build a paramilitary fortress.
The reason for preventing pirate wars is absurd. However, in the current situation where the high court army is approaching, the possibility of passing is very high.
After all, at this time, the information of the High Court Expeditionary Force was already an open secret in the upper level of the Earth Federation.
Zhang Xin was surprised by this. He thought that Senator Qi Changchun was a difficult task. He expected that he would spend a lot of talk on this person and might even encounter setbacks.
After all, Senator Qi Changchun is also a firm democratic faction, but his position is relatively moderate.
However, the latter quickly answered his doubts and mentioned Alfonso in his words.
So Zhang Xinxin understood and knew that this was the show of the Duke Zhenguo. But this caused him another question. His Excellency, Duke Zhenguo, yesterday, did not change his mind until the last moment.
He was obviously reluctant and unwilling to cooperate, so why did he give him a big gift?
Zhang Xin felt it was incredible, but then he let it go. It was because he was too busy next time. After meeting Qi Changchun, he still had this series of itineraries.
The Earth Federation tends to be the Majestic Group's justices must go. Although he is fully confident that the military purchase fraud case has not yet reached the trial, Zhang Changzhi's parents can be acquitted.
But if things go wrong, then the choice of the trial judge is very important, as important as the choice of the juror.
Moreover, even if this military purchase corruption case is not used by the favors of several justices, there will always be times for cooperation in the future.
Then there were Director Thatcher of the Federal Security Agency, Claude, the chairman of the Social Democratic League, Senator Cagal Keynes, chairman of the Human Gene Maintenance Committee, etc. They all met in a hurry and had to go to another occasion after a few words.
In the afternoon, Zhang Xin also went to the presidential residence and stayed there for more than an hour before coming out.
During the meeting, President Liu Wei mentioned the marriage again. After Zhang Xin refused, he settled for the second best, saying that after Zhang Changzhi married his wife, the Liu family of Tianhan could provide a concubine's daughter to become Zhang Xin's flat wife, as a symbol of friendship between the two families.
Zhang Xin was helpless and smiled bitterly in his heart. He knew that such a thing could not be refused, which meant rejecting the friendship between the president and Liu family in Tianhan, so he could only vaguely agree. He could only wait until he was promoted to the fourth level in the future before dealing with this matter.
After that, the two began to discuss the Gaoting people's expeditionary force.
Chapter completed!
