Immediately after the referendum was finalized, the two sides set up a statistical committee. It was agreed that the referendum would officially begin in five days. And the members of the committee, Shandar's side, of course, are made up of Nova Supreme and some other high-ranking government officials.

Asgard is a bit difficult to deal with, after all, they are a country with supreme royal power, and no one is familiar with this set of operations. Therefore, to find someone who understands this routine, the most important thing is to come forward with a dirty heart. So, Evenson, what are you waiting for?

"It's lively outside, why don't you go out and have a look?" The location of the committee's office is the military headquarters of the original Nova Legion, and at this time, the door of the office was suddenly pushed open, and Carol broke in in a hurry.

It turned out that she didn't leave because she wanted to discuss the issue of Skrull refuge with Evenson, but now she was purely interested in the matter and wanted to see how it turned out.

Two days have passed now, and during this time, Carol went out as soon as he was free, which can be regarded as going deep into the grassroots to observe the people's situation. She found that the people of Xandar were really interested in voting, and they were very enthusiastic.

Originally, Carroll thought that Sandal had just suffered a heavy blow, and that it might be too hasty to hold a referendum five days later. But it turns out she's wrong.

It's okay to shut down, voting is the most important thing. Rescue and disaster relief? Then save it first, as long as it doesn't delay my vote. Post-war reconstruction? This is not an overnight thing, let's talk about it after the vote.

"Ahh He shook his head and turned to look at Carol, "It's normal, what's all the fuss." ”

"The people's enthusiasm for such a secretive and high-sounding thing as politics is already very high. And now there is a big vote to decide the future of the country, and they feel that the future of the country is in their own hands, and they can dictate the country and blame Fang Xuan. This kind of pleasure is more addictive than anything else. ”

"So these people—" Evenson came to the window, leaning against the wall and tilting his head to look down. Outside the building, a large group of people gathered, holding various signs to express their various demands: "Some of them may really care about this country, but most of them are just addicts who are enjoying the process." ”

"Is that really good for them?" Carol raised her hand and scratched her brain, "Many of these people are your supporters, and to be honest, I really didn't expect them to be so numerous. ”

At first, Carroll thought that there might be people who supported Evenson, after all, the forest was big and there were all kinds of birds, not to mention that Xandar was really in trouble now. But she really didn't expect that so many people would compete to become foreign lackeys. It's not to blame her, normal people can't think of it.

"What's so strange about that?" said Evenson, who had expected it, "The so-called mountain-style democracy, mountain-style freedom, is the best at cultivating this kind of goods, or rather, the system that has emerged for the sake of cultivating this kind of goods." ”

"Can you do this?" Carol said with a laughing expression, "Could it be that the people of the Nova Legion have something wrong with their brains?"

"Heh, you also know it's the Nova Legion..."Evenson sneered, "All the people in the Sandal government, all of them are government officials, and at the same time they are officers of the Nova Legion, this is a typical military government, what do you think is the purpose of them leaving the mountain freedom they advocate?"

Before Carol could figure it out, Evenson replied for her, "This is the poison they used to disrupt foreign polities so that they could profit from them!"

"So the Nova Legion is not brain-sick, but shrewd. It's just—" Evenson said, "Sandar and the Kree Empire have been at war for a thousand years, and the country is declining day by day, and most of the people who have the ability to understand things have died in the war." That's why the Nova Legion came up with this stupid trick of drinking to quench their thirst and drank the poison themselves. ”

"After so many years, the senior officers of the Nova Legion are still in control. But the lower classes of the population are already deeply poisoned. ”

"It's one of a kind. Carol couldn't help but shake her head, "I've been in the universe for so many years, and I'm also well-informed. But I haven't seen this kind of person before. ”

"Now Shandar is in dire straits, and is in dire need of Asgard's protection. But it is a great shame that the country has perished and been swallowed up. I can understand that they had to agree, but it's hard to figure out how positive they are!"

"How can they think so deeply? Evenson stared at the noisy crowd below and said coldly, "Although the causal relationship you mentioned is simply like a conditioned reflex. But what spurred them on was another promise, the glory of God's people. What a noble and desirable thing it is!"

"That's it?!" Carol heard that I also know that I am sometimes more tigers, but I am really witty compared to these people, "Children of God?, as far as I know, the worst-blooded Asgardians can live for five thousand years, how long can they live?"

"The racial difference is like mud, even if you give him the status of a child of God, it will be a line on his ID card at best, the one that still needs to be bracketed at the end. ”

"Nice and empty. Evenson snorted, "That's what they're after." What a good dog, you don't need to give a bone, you draw a big pie and come with your tail wagging your tail. ”

"Forget it, forget it. Carol waved her hand, feeling that her witty brain had been ruined by discussing these people. So she changed the subject: "Even if you don't look down on them anymore, you can't stay in the room and not go out, you have to meet them." ”

"What's there to see about it, just a lackey?" Evenson cut and sat down. Although those people support him and do whatever he wants, he just doesn't look down on these people!

"I say, do you know the trick of voting?" said Carroll, pinching her waist. Isn't the current situation similar to that of running for president? Regardless of what you think of those idiots in your heart, you still have to do what you should do for the sake of face. It's only a few days before the vote, so let's get this lecture tour up and down!

It is said that Evenson's routine is so deep, because he shouldn't think of this, "The show that should be done must be done, it is rare that the situation is good now, and now is a good opportunity to consolidate the results." ”

"Consolidation?" Evenson gave Carroll a strange look, and gestured to the wall to the side, "Look at that." ”

Carol followed the direction of Evenson's finger and saw that it was an electronic screen, and she had been out of the world for the past two days, and she had only noticed this today.

What is shown on this electronic screen is, agree, no. This should be the statistics of the referendum, but generally there should be these two options, but this time there is a third, it doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter, that's what silence means, and silence is generally taken as a tacit acquiescence.

People will go with the flow, don't look at this time they are all very happy, but when it comes to making a decision, it will still be difficult. If you are embarrassed, you will go with the flow, and the decision of consent and rejection is difficult to make, so it is better to choose it indifferently. It doesn't matter to me what happens in the future, whether it's good or bad.

However, the three options are not what surprised Carroll, but the numbers have been written after the three options, and there are slightly more numbers after the agree options, and there are fewer rejected options, and the most is still indifferent.

"You..." Carroll pointed to the screen, then looked at Evenson, and after a long time, he could finally say a complete sentence, "The vote hasn't started yet, and your result has already been decided?"

"Of course. Evenson now really thinks that this woman's strength is what she sacrificed her IQ in exchange for" You don't really think that this vote result will have any practical effect, right?"

"Now it's like this, even if the opposition wins, I can say that someone is cheating and asking for a new vote, until I get the result I want. But I don't have that much time to spend with them, so let's just finish it all at once. ”

Carol turned her stiff neck and looked to the other corner of the office, where Nova Supreme and a kind of high-ranking official were there, they had obviously seen the screen as well, but they didn't seem to have any objection to the fraud.

"Of course they won't object. Evenson followed Carroll's gaze and glanced at Nova Supreme, "They are all human spirits and know what the inevitable result is. ”

"You already knew they would agree, in that case..."Carol was a little confused, "When they met with the queen of heaven, wouldn't it be more time-saving if you just toughened it and made them bow their heads?

"What I want is a referendum, not the result, just the process. Evenson thought for a moment and said, "Personally, I think that the so-called referendum is the most shrewd and despicable political method. ”

"Public opinion is precious, and public opinion needs to be listened to and valued. But public opinion is very blind and short-sighted, and at the same time it is easy to be incited and misled, become hysterical, and very fickle. There is a country on the planet that you know for sure, and they claim that it is easier to change a prime minister than a rich man to change a car. If the direction of the country changes again and again, and the political order changes every day, then the country will definitely not be good. ”

"What's more, the people are in charge of everything, so what do the officials need to do? The people entrust the state to the government and officials in order to let them make decisions for themselves and take responsibility for themselves! And the referendum, that is, the government and officials kicked the ball to the people again!"

Evenson pointed at Nova Supreme, "They knew they couldn't do anything at the time, why did they hold on to it? They didn't want to, but they didn't dare! They didn't dare to take this responsibility, they didn't dare to bear that infamy through the ages! So as soon as I proposed a referendum, they immediately agreed." ”

"The whole people make decisions and are collectively responsible, and collective responsibility means that the collective is not responsible. What a good step, can they not go down the line?"

"It's not all," Carol spun her head around quickly, "You're such a bad, dirty person, would you just hand someone the steps to do this kind of thing?"

"Thank you for the compliment. Evenson raised his head and said proudly, "In this way, the queen of heaven can also avoid the notoriety of brutal conquest, but Sandar took the initiative to sacrifice his land and naturalize." ”

"And what?" Carol looked down, bent down, and pressed her hands on the armrests of her chair, staring straight at Evenson, "Say it all!"

"Then you see—" Evenson pointed to the electronic display again, "Agreed, denied. These two options are needle-to-point, also known as-for-tat. And if you take a closer look, the difference between the numbers I put behind these two options is very small, only a few percentage points. ”

"If the difference between the two is too big, it won't be interesting. The gap is so small that those who lose will feel pity, and those who win will feel lucky. Those who vote against it will hate those who vote for it for glory and if you are a little less numerous, we will still be an independent country. ”

And those who choose to agree, those who agree will also hate those who choose to veto. You fools who don't know the times and will pull our backs, and you will almost make us lose the glory of being God's people, and almost destroy our country and species!"

"And the people who choose it doesn't matter, I arrange the largest number of people. That's about the number of people in the other two options combined. And they are the ones who are most hated because they are silent. People on both sides will hate and hate them, why didn't they stand up for us! If you had stood up and said that maybe the result would have been different!"

"That's it!" said Evenson, waving his hand, "this referendum can be said to have invisibly torn the people of Shandal into three parts, and they themselves will further tear themselves into more parts!"

"And it was a secret ballot, and when the results were announced, all that everyone knew was the number of people for each option, but not who it was. Therefore, they will be blindly suspicious, blindly hate, and the trust between each other will be eroded little by little. ”

"This means to an ordinary country comes. Parties can use this to divide the population and win over their own voters. And for the diva—" Evenson's smile became sinister.

"After all, Sandar is a newly naturalized country, and it would be very troublesome for the indigenous people to be united as one. If they are torn apart and hate each other, they can divide and conquer!"

Further, their caste can be determined, and those who choose to agree to naturalization are higher castes, and the vetoes are naturally lower. Then it is divided into the inside, the dark-skinned one is another, the light-skinned one is another, the farming is a grazing one, in short, hundreds of species can be subdivided. ”

Of course, caste certainly has no explicit privilege in law, just an honor. As for what conventions will become... Then they decide for themselves. ”

"So, Carol, do you understand?" Evenson patted Carroll, who was already a little stunned, on the shoulder, "The referendum is never about the results of the vote, but about the process and the impact behind the scenes. ”

"It's not people... You're really not human!" Carol shuddered when she heard this, "Can people really be dirty like this? Is this what humans do? By the way, you can summon demons, this must be a despicable trick you learned from demons!"

"You're wrong. Evenson pouted, "I used to be a messenger in S.H.I.E.L.D., although I'm an advisor and don't have to sit in the office. But I often go to the cafeteria to have a meal, and I meet some CIA agents who have jumped ship, and I will chat with them and discuss their experiences with each other, so that we can learn and improve together. ”
