"I tell you, if my term is liquidated, then all of you here should not expect to run. I'll get you all sorted out before I do!"

Lao Dong issued this final warning in the face of a group of staff members and high-ranking officials who were close to him.

The election is approaching, but his approval ratings are not encouraging. The presidency is the supreme leader of a country, with unparalleled power and prestige.

But at the same time, the presidency is a high-risk profession in many countries.

Of course, the presidents here are generally quite good. After leaving office, he either wrote a book and published a memoir, or an autobiography, or raised horses, or went on variety shows and survival masters to brave the world.

But there are always exceptions. For example, Lao Dong, there are too many things that happened during his tenure.

A lot of money has been invested in the New Eden Project in China, but the final result is not satisfactory. Not only were entire military bases destroyed, but thousands of soldiers were killed or missing. And the core equipment of the most important Atlas Gate was also stolen.

Lao Dong came to power with a very low public support rate, relying on the support of the capitalists. Because Lao Dong himself is also a capitalist. The capitalists hoped that he would bring more benefits to the capitalists.

When they started the New Eden Project together, Lao Dong asked many capitalists to invest in this plan. There is a large number of private capital forces involved. After all, this is a super mega project with an investment of nearly 100 billion US dollars, and without the support of private capital, it would be impossible for Congress to pass such a huge plan.

It can be said that many big capitalists have invested billions of dollars, or even tens of billions of dollars, in this plan.

The New Eden Project, at least so far, has been a complete failure. Someone needs to be responsible for the failure of the project, and someone needs to take care of it.

The capitalists' money is not easy to take, and Lao Dong knows all this very well. The bloodthirsty beasts were staring at him, and if he was gone, they could tear themselves to shreds in any non-violent way.

There have even been direct messages that he needs to be held accountable for the tens of billions of dollars lost.

This is impossible, although Lao Dong is worth a lot of money, but tens of billions of dollars in cash can not be directly taken out by any businessman in the world.

So he made a deal with the capitalists who had supported New Eden in the first place, and he became the boss for another term, using the promulgation of favorable policies to create higher returns for the capitalists.

The capitalists behind him chose to believe him again after thinking twice. After all, there is nothing good to deal with him, capital wants money and benefits.

However, they still have doubts about the assurances of the old knowers. After all, when he first came to power, he promised the capitalists that he wanted to make the country strong again. Moreover, let the manufacturing industry return, let the country's financial industry and industry develop simultaneously, and make the country's economy better and better.

But that doesn't seem to be the case lately.

And lately the suspicions of those capitalists have become heavier and heavier.

Washington was attacked by visitors from outside the world, parts of the Hetagon were destroyed, and the White House was almost completely destroyed. The army reacted slowly, and in the end it was an unknown masked hero who saved the world.

This has led to a strong sense of crisis among the people of the entire country.

After the destruction of Washington, the stock market has been circuit breaker four times in a week, and tens of billions of dollars have evaporated. On the other hand, various riots broke out across the country, and the law and order rate plummeted. Sales of firearms increased by 400 percent over the same period.

And there has been a large number of people stockpiling food across the country.

A large number of people are hiding in the basement, believing that the gates of the other world will be opened, and all kinds of monsters from the other world will come out to kill. Now the government is no longer credible, they can only believe in grabbing it.

And an organization that was very popular in the country before: the National Anti-Zombie Mutual Aid Association, now it has officially changed its name: National Anti-Otherworld Monster Mutual Aid Association. And in just a few months, the number of members has grown from more than 3,000 at the beginning to more than 500,000 members nationwide.

Lao Zhi's approval rating has been falling, and no one is counting on him anymore.

Now the capitalists are also waiting and watching. If they can't be re-elected, then they have to be prepared for how to divide up the property of the old man reasonably. After all, he is also a well-known rich man in the country, and he has a lot of property. If you eat it all, it will be somewhat supplemented.

I know that I have a feeling for all this. He could feel the bloodthirsty beasts already eyeing him. So in the general election in a few months' time, he could not be re-elected and lost.

Once he fails, then the opposition party will liquidate the fall of Washington and put the on his head. And the New Eden Project disappeared and killed thousands of people at one time, and I am afraid that the successor will not cover him at that time.

And the most terrible thing is that if he loses this position, then he can't even guarantee his property and the safety of his life.

I saw all this clearly.

"I have to be re-elected, and you all know that. If I lose my re-election, then I'm going to hit rock bottom. And I am afraid that you will not have good fruit to eat. We need to immediately divert domestic contradictions and attention. ”

"Rest assured, Your Excellency, we have mobilized all the media and sent them to the Hive. This time, we will first provoke their internal contradictions. The chief of staff followed the president's words.

"We need to first gain an advantage in the public opinion position, and then provoke their multilateral friction. They have a lot of friction on the oceans and on the borders. Our aircraft carrier battle groups have already gone to the Asia-Pacific region. ”

"The countries of the South China Sea have been eyeing and coveting their South China Sea. Now with our support, they will inevitably want a piece of the soup. The friction in many aspects will overwhelm them and will always reveal flaws. Then we can deal them a fatal blow. ”

"Especially to stir up the contradictions between their domestic returnees and the awakened people, as long as this can be done, then everything will be handled easily. ”

The chief of staff turned on the TV as he spoke: "Your Excellency, our news media has begun to broadcast live around the world. This time, we will completely defeat them in the battle of public opinion!"

........................

"Defeat us in the war of public opinion?"

Inside the hive, Zhang Tong is trying on the traditional costumes that she needs to wear for the wedding in the evening. Zhang Tong and Jiang Hua discussed that their wedding format was a traditional Chinese wedding.

Zhang Tong wears an improved Hanfu, which has a fairy fluttering wide sleeves and is convenient for daily actions.

After he got dressed, he said to Huang Gang, who had brought him the news: "Are you serious? Those foreign friends have already started to shoot us in international public opinion?"

"Not really. I'll just say that your wedding has attracted quite a lot of attention because of the big formation. They will vigorously buckle the basin on Jiang Hua's head. Then she will be used as a breakthrough to provoke social contradictions. There are also various social contradictions between returnees and those who awaken to their abilities. ”

"Now the one on the other side of the ocean, his re-election pressure is too great. He is a politician, and for him his personal interests far outweigh the interests of the state. I'm not sure what kind of decision he'd make in order to protect himself. ”

Huang Gang said these words, but Zhang Tong smiled faintly: "I see." Contradictions can be resolved in the greater interest. Do we have a reporter on our side?"

"Of course there is, this is an international public opinion war, and this is naturally arranged here. But what are you talking about?"

"You'll know when the time comes. Zhang Tong bought a pass, but called Gao Xiaomin and Qin Kuairen and said to the two of them respectively: "Yes, the release of the new product is today." Well, the world is paying so much attention, and this is the best advertisement ever. ”

By the way, he also informed Li Lianlong: "Xiao Li, you're going to go out." Yes, bring all the apprentices you trained out to yo-yo. If someone wants to stir up a conflict, then we can only fight back. Tell those guys what the hell we've got. ”

At the same time, the media of the "free world" has begun a global live broadcast on the Hive.

In Fu Changqing's room, someone came to ask Fu Changqing: "Fu Lao, should we really not stop it?"

"Stop, does it work? The person on the other side is going crazy. All we can do is not accompany him to his madness and put him in an insane asylum. And aren't Jiang Hua and Zhang Tong here very well prepared? ”

At the floor-to-ceiling window on the twenty-seventh floor of the Purple Mountain Hotel, Fu Changqing stared out the window. As far as he could see, he could already see groups of returnees and Awakened Beings taking to the streets.

There was no chaos, no riots, it was uniform, and some people even had banners in their hands that had not yet been opened.

A smile appeared on Fu Changqing's face.
