Chapter 817 Last minute

"The best way to get out of the predicament is to break the predicament. At present, our economy is recovering faster than most countries in the world."

"The unemployment rate in some areas has dropped from more than 20.00% in the previous year to 30.00%. In the first ten days of January this year, the number of relief food received in various places has decreased by about [-]% compared with the number received in the same period last year."

"All this tells us that Baylor Federation is quickly coming out of the economic recession, and we are using our efforts to break through the predicament and recast new glory."

"Mr. Lynch said something before, which I think is very correct..." Mr. President smiled and looked at Lynch who was sitting in the first row under the podium.

Lynch also raised his hand and waved it twice in a very timely manner, completing a small interaction with Mr. President.

"...He said that the Federation will surely regain its glory..."

The next moment, a tsunami of cheers and applause caught people off guard. Mr. President did not expect that this sentence would have such a great influence on the voters present.

People were immediately stimulated by this sentence to a certain point in their emotions, and this sentence is indeed very good at boosting morale. Coupled with the foreshadowing of the previous speech, people have a kind of excitement from the inside out Emotions.

Seeing the cooperation of the voters, Mr. President was so happy from ear to ear, the effect was so good, he used a pencil to draw two horizontal lines on this sentence of the speech in a place where people could not see, and in the blank space Wrote down the "talk more" prompt.

With the venting of emotions, under Mr. President's reassurance, people finally sat back.

Mr. President breathed a long sigh of relief, "There is still one week, ladies and gentlemen, we still have one week to count down to the arrival of a great era."

"Every one of us will inevitably become a witness, participant, and creator of history. We will create history, and the Federation will reach the pinnacle of the world in our hands!"

The emotions that had just calmed down became turbulent again. Lynch, who was sitting in the audience, clapped his hands. He tilted his head slightly and asked, "Did you write the manuscript?"

Mr. Truman, who just came back from Gevra, nodded subtly, "I wrote it overnight. He needs a speech that can shake people's hearts. I can only stay up late."

Now all places are ready to vote. It is said that it is a week, but in fact it is only five days.

The official voting will start on Saturday, five days later. The voting time will last for 24 hours, and then the counting of votes will begin. Before the end of January, the new president of the Federation will be elected.

The more it gets to the end, the more critical it is. At this time, some very powerful speeches can draw some people who are still vacillating to his side.

Lynch pouted, "I always feel that there are a lot of deals between the Progressive Party and the Conservative Party. Will there be any surprises in this general election?"

"I know I can't hide it from you..."

Mr Truman was not surprised that Lynch could see the Tories backing down before the election.

What Mr. President has done is too obvious. When he said that he should face up to history, he actually wanted to remove escapism from the Conservative Party and attribute the responsibility to individuals.

The former president has been formally prosecuted for crimes related to duty-related crimes such as "dereliction of duty" and "trading power for money". This time is different from the previous investigation. It is possible to convict the former president.

The purpose of the court session is not to let him argue that he is not guilty, but to give him a result for the minimum sentencing.

With Mr. President’s whitewashing, the Conservative Party’s active performance of meritorious service and repentance, and the former Mr. President being trampled on, the attitudes of voters have undergone some changes.

Some people openly burned portraits of former presidents, but they did not drag the Conservative Party along with them, which is the performance of the final result.

In order to thank Mr. President for his cooperation in this regard, the candidate of the Conservative Party has lost to Mr. President in the defense without any suspense. The candidate was asked several times and was speechless.

He was even called "the stupidest candidate for the Conservative Party in 30 years" in some media!
But in any case, everyone's goal has been achieved, and this time it seems that there are really no losers and victims.

The Conservative Party does not compete with Mr. President, but he has not completely let go of the Conservative Party because of this. It is not uncommon in the political arena to be stabbed by a knife from behind at the last moment, and it is often seen.

As long as the interests are sufficient, politicians can be as shameless as businessmen and become completely irrelevant.

"How long are you going to throw the previous president in there?"

This is also the most talked about thing these days. Some people say that it might just be a formality. There are many people who hold this view, especially those at the bottom of society.

They don't think that some ordinary crimes can make the former president punished by law. Although everyone believes that the law is fair and just, the sun can't touch it, let alone the federal government where "the outcome is outside the courtroom" What about justice?
However, some people think that the former president will definitely go in, because the change of things is too weird.

The prosecutors who have been continuing the investigation with insufficient evidence suddenly produced all kinds of evidence. If there is no secret in it, then there is a real problem.

Most of the people who have this view are the middle and upper class of society. They no longer look at the surface of things when they look at problems, but grasp the real development context through the analysis of details.

As for going further...they are the manipulators of everything.

"The sentencing will be about 12 years, and the actual sentence may not be a day."

When he said this, Mr. Truman's face was full of ridicule.

Whether it is the political deal between the Conservative Party and the Progressive Party, or the "result" after the deal, Mr. President, represents the most shameless group of people in the Federation.

Of course, these are some thoughts in his mind. At that time, Mr. President will be detained in his house in a restricted manner on the grounds that he is not fit to serve his sentence in prison.

Some people may think that being unable to leave their home is actually no different from being in prison. After all, freedom is more important to the federal people than life.

Those who have such an idea can only say that it is too simple. The president's house is different from the house in the concept of ordinary people.

He has an estate outside of Bupain, modeled on the design of Gafla Castle, a small hunting ground, a comprehensive private park, and even a lake.

This is not restricting movement and serving a sentence at home, this is fucking early retirement.

But it doesn't matter, the president can be sentenced. For the people, this is another victory of fairness and public opinion.

The two chatted in low voices about topics that might not be very respectful to those big shots, and the speech came to an end bit by bit.

At the moment when Mr. President shouted "Federal victory, long live freedom", the whole scene erupted.

Lynch and Mr. Truman also stood up, applauding pretending to be excited but reserved.

Mr. President came down from the podium, shook hands with the people in the front row very "kindly", and then left. Everything was perfect.

In the next few days, Lynch accompanied the President to attend various activities many times. As the youth leader of the Federation, the President believed that taking him with him would also win over a group of young voters.

After joining in, Lynch felt that every president was not easy.

For example, the current Mr. President is over 60 years old. According to the standards of this era, he is actually an old man who may return to the embrace of God almost anytime and anywhere.

But he still persisted in his daily ultra-high-intensity work, and he never turned down any activities due to physical reasons.

A week of hard work finally came to the most critical moment.

Many of those invited gathered at the presidential palace, waiting for the results of the vote count.

The interns also felt the tense atmosphere, and even tried to slow down their breathing. They even held their breath when they entered the meeting room, for fear that their breathing would be a little heavy and the "president" they had obtained would be blown away.

Mr. President, who was sitting on the table with no image, was biting his fingers, just like a child, biting his fingernails.

He was irritable, a little scared, and a little looking forward, and he could only find something to distract himself.

"We've taken... the state!"

The staff reported the counting results in a timely manner. The president smiled a little more. He and the others high-fived each other. After a brief celebration, everyone fell into a quiet wait.

The battle situation was much more anxious than expected. The Progressive Party won five states and the Conservative Party won three states.

There are seventeen states in the entire Federation, and there are nine more states. In other words, the Progressive Party needs to win four more states to keep the situation. If it can win five more states, it can seal the victory.

The room was soon filled with all kinds of smoke smells, and some people even smoked variegated!
"Open the windows, it's too suffocating!" Mr. Truman directed the staff to open all the windows. Although it would make everyone feel cold, it was better than the current situation.

Even Mr. President has a cigarette in his hand, he rarely smokes, and no one can force him to this point.

But now, he has already smoked several, and several crushed cigarette butts are scattered on the ground in front of him.

The cold wind blew in, and the air was a little better. Lynch asked Catherine to call a nearby cafe and try her best to deliver strong-flavored coffee.

Everyone seemed to want to do something, but couldn't.

The Conservative Party is following closely. When the Progressive Party won seven states, the Conservative Party has already won five states.

There are still five states left. If they don't want to be dragged into the "second half", the Progressive Party must win three more states.

According to the election law of the Baylor Federation, only a lead of more than two states can be considered a victory.

With only one state ahead, there is too much room for maneuver.

The president finished gnawing the nails of his left hand and started to gnaw the nails of his right hand. His expression was a little distorted, a little angry, and a little hideous.
