Chapter 351 Crazy Thoughts

"...As long as the operation is done properly, these funds will be turned into our political capital. We can use these funds to cultivate a stronger army, control the situation in Haiti, and then buy a few leaders of the protesters and the local media , to make arrangements for future general elections."

Although relying on a military coup to successfully come to power, this does not mean that his position will be stabilized.

The new president is very clear that the reason why he was able to succeed in assuming the position was certainly due to the fact that he had a strong military force in his hands, but it was also closely related to the unpopularity of the previous president.

It was precisely because of the excessively serious corruption during the previous president’s tenure, coupled with the sudden natural disaster and earthquake, and the subsequent handling of the government department at that time was extremely bad, which aroused huge local public grievances in Haiti, and he seized the opportunity to succeed. Push down.

However, after successfully taking office, the new president does not want to correct the corruption of the previous government and win the hearts of the people.

Instead, it uses more powerful means to oppress and control the local situation in Haiti, so as to stabilize its position and not become the next president to be overthrown.

In a way, Haiti will never emerge from chaos and poverty as long as such a president exists.

"Report, Your Excellency, the high priest is here."

In the president's office, when the new president and military representatives were discussing how to annex the donation.

Suddenly, there was a report from outside the door.

Hearing the reminder from outside the door, the expressions of the new president and the military representative suddenly changed.

The new president touched the tie on his neck subconsciously, then coughed lightly, and said to the soldiers reporting outside the door: "Please come in, the high priest."

"As ordered!"

After receiving the order, the soldier turned and left.

Hearing the sound of footsteps receding outside the door, the new president subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Fear of voodoo is ingrained in Haitians, even in the president.

However, he had to establish a good relationship with the Voodoo Cult, because apart from the support of the military, the Voodoo Cult also played a huge role in his success in coming to power.

Through the people's fear and belief in voodoo, he was able to suppress the affected people during the most chaotic period after the earthquake, so that he would not be overthrown just after he came to power.

"Whoo~"

Taking a deep breath, and waiting for the new president to sort out his emotions, the high priest who was outside also entered the office.

"Your Excellency."

The appearance of the high priest seemed to make the atmosphere of the entire president's office much gloomy in an instant.

Turning his haggard face and nodding to the new president in front of him, the high priest didn't show any respect on his face.

For him, only the queen of the voodoo religion and the loa are the objects of respect. As for the president, it doesn't make much difference to the voodoo religion whether it is who comes.

"The High Priest."

Looking at the high priest who appeared in front of him, the new president glanced over his neck and head, barely suppressing the discomfort in his heart, and asked the high priest who entered the presidential palace with a reluctant smile while pulling the corners of his mouth. Said: "I don't know why you came to the presidential palace this time?"

"This year's Voodoo Festival will be held soon. This time the festival is a bit special. I need your assistance, Your Excellency the President."

"Voodoo festival?"

Hearing the high priest's answer, the new president's eyes flashed with astonishment.

During this period of time, he has been busy dealing with the matter at hand, and he almost forgot about the Voodoo Festival.

Of course, in the beginning, this simple festival had nothing to do with him as the president. When it was held before, all the president had to do was to join in the show, representing Haiti's official support for voodoo, a local religious festival.

However, according to the words of the high priest, the voodoo festival this time seems to be very different from the past.

"I don't know the high priest, what is the reason for this voodoo festival?"

After thinking about it secretly, the new president tentatively opened his mouth, wanting to ask something.

"Sorry, Mr. President."

Shaking his head, he rejected the president's inquiry without hesitation.

The high priest touched the head on his neck, looked at the president in front of him with cloudy eyes, and said, "You just need to understand that once the ceremony is over, Haiti will usher in earth-shaking changes. By then, whether it is the so-called United Nations peacekeeping organization , or the United States, or China, will no longer be a problem, we will be on an equal footing with these big countries in the world, and voodoo will become the greatest existence in the world, and people all over the world will flock to us..."

"Sit on an equal footing with the great powers?"

Hearing the absurd words from the high priest's mouth, the new president couldn't help flashing a look of astonishment in his eyes.

He felt that the high priest of the voodoo religion in front of him was completely crazy, or because the other party stayed in Haiti all year round, he had never seen other countries in the world at all.

It is precisely because he has become the president of Haiti and is in a high position that he is more aware of the gap between countries, which is greater than that between people.

The wealth, military power and a series of superpowers possessed are far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

The financial policy of a state and a province of the other party for a year may be much more than that of Haiti in a few years.

Of course, although I don't think in my heart about the nonsense that the high priest said, but on the surface, the new president still maintained his basic appearance and didn't say much.

"I know you don't believe what I'm saying right now."

Although, the new president in front of him did not question what he said.

But the high priest seemed to have seen through the other party's inner thoughts long ago. He didn't show any anger about it, but just looked at the new president calmly and said, "However, it won't take long. You'll understand after the festival is over, Your Excellency."

"Please remember that voodoo is the root of Haiti, and only if voodoo continues to exist in Haiti will it have a chance to stand up."

After discussing the arrangements for the voodoo festival two days later, leaving a meaningful word, the high priest turned and left.

In the office, watching the back of the high priest leaving, the military representative who had been silent since just now couldn't help but speak.

"Could it be that the high priest can really make Haiti an existence on par with those big countries in the world?"

"Absolutely impossible."

Shaking his head, no matter how decisive the high priest said, the new president still feels that this possibility does not exist at all.

"Even if there is such an opportunity, those superpowers will not allow it to happen in Haiti. Once sanctions are imposed, Haiti's fragile livelihood and economic environment will collapse in an instant."
