Chapter 744: Round Table
After John returned to Morgan Manor as his head of state, he immediately got up and went to the Illuminati headquarters in Philadelphia for a round table of elders.
The Southern Government has been in charge of the Federal Government for two full terms, so it is up to the Round Table to decide whether the South will continue to run the Federal Government in 2000 or whether the North will succeed it.
The headquarters of the Illuminati is located in a small town manor in Philadelphia, the whole building is mainly Gothic, the area is not large, but it has a sense of history, John has been here twice, so he is familiar with the door, after the gatekeeper helped him push the door open, he walked directly through the hall and walked up to the conference room on the third floor.
The conference room is very simple and decorated, with no decoration, and a huge solid wood round table is placed in the middle of the conference room, with an Almighty Eye engraved in the center of the round table, and the Illuminati charter engraved around it, and 15 chairs are placed next to the round table, 13 are the position of the elders of the round table, and the other 2 are the supreme position.
John came to the round table in place of Morgan Sr., so he went into the conference room and greeted everyone, and sat down in the supreme seat, opposite him sat the old Rockefeller.
"Ladies and gentlemen, everyone is here, let's hold a meeting now!" the Chief Elder presided over the meeting when he saw that all the people had arrived.
"First of all, Shaozun will report on the achievements of the work made by the South since he took charge of the federal government!"
"Okay!"
John nodded, flipped through the prepared papers, and read them.
"In the two terms that the federal government was in charge of the South, it successfully prevented the economic crisis, restored the economy, eliminated the government's huge problem of bastardity, the industry recovered with basic transformation, unemployment fell to a record low, drug trafficking, gang crimes, and vicious crimes have been cracked down on in recent years, and the crime rate has also dropped to a record low, and social problems such as blacks, Jews, and others have been basically solved, and the national social security and medical insurance are gradually being implemented, and the new tax policy has been implemented. People's satisfaction with the country and the government has been rising, and the credibility of the country has reached an unprecedented height.
In terms of foreign affairs, after our reconciliation with Russia, the country's biggest enemy no longer exists, and the Asia-Pacific mini-NATO, the Middle East mini-NATO, and the Eastern European mini-NATO have also been established, and the global strategic layout has reached ....... ”
A report document, John read for more than half an hour, did not exaggerate the merits of the southern government, everyone understands, what the southern government has done over the years, everyone knows. However, after John finished reading, he found for the first time that he had done so many things, and he usually did not feel that after years of accumulation, the amount became considerable.
Of course, this is also the reason why John has prestige.
The content he reads, as long as it is done in one piece, it is already very remarkable, such as the problem of the government deficit, if it were not for John, the federal government deficit would not be solved, and it would be thankful that it would not become a huge number.
"Okay, Shaozun has finished reporting on the work of the southern government in recent years, and then everyone can say what they want to say about who is in charge of the federal government. The Chief Elder looked around, waiting for someone to stand up and speak up.
"I'll talk about it first!"
The elder Rockefeller opened his mouth unexpectedly.
Everyone looked at old Rockefeller and pricked up their ears.
"Over the years, under the leadership of Mr. Morgan Sr. and JK, the federal government can be said to have made brilliant achievements and indelible achievements, not only leading the country out of difficult times, completing the global strategic layout, but also consolidating the government's governing power.
However, many of the policies formulated by the South have only achieved phased results, and many policies are still being implemented, and at this time, rashly changing the government of the North to take charge of the federation is likely to lead to the final failure of the implementation of these policies, and all the previous efforts of the South will be in vain.
Therefore, in order to put these policies in place and consolidate the results, I support JK to continue to lead the Southern Government to run the Federal Government, and JK's ability to lead the Federal Government is beyond doubt, and I believe that under his leadership, the Federation will continue to stand on top of the world in the new century!"
The old Rockefeller's old voice echoed in the conference room, 13 for the elders plus John was very surprised by his decision, after all, the south has laid a good foundation, and the north can achieve political achievements without much effort, this is a matter of picking fruits, but the old Rockefeller actually doesn't want it, this is surprising, when did everyone become a humble gentleman!
"What the Supreme said is very reasonable, it is commendable that the northern government has made such a decision for the sake of the Federation, and I support the opinion of the Supreme. The Chief Elder took over the elder Rockefeller's words.
In fact, even if the old Rockefeller does not say this, he will support the southern government to continue to take charge of the federal government, because just like the old Rockefeller said, if the policy formulated by the South is rashly let the North take over, the business is not skilled, and it will take time to master, and it is likely that the implementation will not be in place, so that everything that the South has done before will be done in vain, and the originally good situation will end up in a mess.
"I also support the Southern government in the federal government!"
"I support it too!"
"I support it too!"
The thirteen elders expressed their support for the southern government to continue to run the federal government, and finally the southern government continued to govern the federal government, and finally the southern government continued to govern the federal government by unanimous vote.
"I declare that the next federal government will continue to be run by the Southern Government. After the results of the vote came in, the Chief Elder announced loudly.
Then everyone got up and surrounded John, who stretched out his right hand and placed it on the round table, and took the oath according to the Illuminati charter.
"I, J.K. Morgan, swear that I will finally abide by the Charter, and I will be faithful and conscientious in my duties, and I will do my best to oppose division, and I will be united as one, and the Almighty Eye will help me!"
John's oath echoed in the conference room, and when the oath was over, the chief elders, representing the elders of the Illuminati Round Table, held John's right hand and said solemnly.
"The federal government will be handed over to you, I hope you can make persistent efforts and create more brilliance!"
"I will do my best!"
John replied firmly.
After the whole ceremony, the elders of the round table withdrew from the conference room, and the elder Rockefeller and John stood side by side by the window, and neither of them spoke until five or six minutes later, when John could not stand it and was the first to speak.
"I don't understand why you're supporting the South to remain in charge of the federal government? ”
"I'm old, not as energetic as you young people, managing northern affairs makes me incompetent, if you take over the affairs of the Federation, then you don't want my old life, you are young, those who can work more, share more, let me do less as an old man, and live a few more years." Old Rockefeller said with a smile on his wrinkled face.
There are true and false in this paragraph, but John can't tell which one is true and which one is false, like old Rockefeller, outsiders can rarely know what he is thinking in his heart.
