"This is what I have always mentioned to you, my good friend, Luo Songxi. ”

Leonardo solemnly introduced Luci.

Lucy turned around, stretched out his hand to shake Luo Songxi, and also held Luo Songxi's upper arm with his other hand, and said, "Thank you sincerely." ”

Lucy is only 38 years old this year, but he has a composure and humility that far exceeds his age. Luo Songxi looked a little flattered, and said continuously, "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." ”

On the contrary, Leonardo still said with a big grin, "What is there that you don't dare to do? If it weren't for the operation you performed on General Wei Tiancheng, how could this kid be in the limelight on Blackstone Mountain? At this time, it is estimated that he will not even be able to pass the party primary. ”

"Before the election, it was you kid who killed his biggest rival, the candidate of the Business Party, Sandi Bundy, without a word. Now that the business party is under the influence of the Bundy family, the poll support has fallen to an all-time low. This presidential election is probably the most suspenseful election in the past 100 years. If he doesn't thank you, who else can he thank?"

Leonardo stood up and patted Luo Songxi on the shoulder, "Okay, don't always look like a small-town youth who has never seen the world." You're not a small person right now, and you're probably the key man who has had the biggest impact on this election. ”

Luo Songxi finally relaxed, and he flashed a disdainful smile at Leonardo. He thought to himself, when I reach the Golden Rank, go to the Troll Sacred Mountain, and get the approval of the Council of the Twelve Ancestors, I will be the key gentleman of this plane, the affairs of the Federation, is that still a matter?

It's just that what's wrong with the temperament of a small-town youth?

It's just that Leonardo didn't know what he was thinking, and met his smile, still said to himself, "So, if there is anything in the future, don't be so desperate." You said you were going to check Beihai Heavy Industries, why did you sneak into the factory so risky?"

"The father and daughter of Jose's family are really, and they are willing to go crazy with you. Where did you put the badge I gave you? Do you know how many resources can be mobilized by taking it out? The Joint Security Committee has found resistance, but Stuttgart has the strongest security company in the whole Federation. ”

Luo Songxi took out the all-in-request badge from the space box and flipped it in his hand, "Of course I haven't forgotten what you owe me, but this all-in-request badge has a greater use, I'm afraid that you will hurt if you bring it up." ”

"Oh? Leonardo, on the contrary, was intrigued.

Luo Songxi had been thinking about this request for quite some time, and if he hadn't happened to meet Leonardo, he would have planned to go to him in the next few days.

At this time, he recalled the homeless workers on the site of the St. John's Shipyard, and the fanatical workers of the North Sea Heavy Industries, and finally returned the badge engraved with the sword, olive branch, and eagle to Leonardo, and said to him:

"I remember you promised Dr. Gray that you would set up a fund to solve the health care needs of federal residents. ”

"Now I'm asking you to likewise set up a fund to help the federal government raise unemployment benefits that haven't been raised in decades. The amount should be linked to the price level in each region, so that workers can receive the most basic livelihood security even after losing their jobs. ”

Leonardo listened attentively, but he smiled dumbly, he looked at Lucy and asked him, "What do you think of this proposal?"

Lucy spoke calmly, "I don't agree. ”

Luo Songxi couldn't estimate how much the increase in unemployment benefits would cost, and he knew it would be an astronomical amount. He was worried that Leonardo's resources were not enough to support the completion of this plan, but he didn't expect Lucy to reject cleanly as soon as he came up.

Lucy saw Luo Songxi's confusion or dissatisfaction, and still asked him calmly, "Where are you from?"

"I'm from the town of Tarta and from the town of Tarta in the West Star State. Although Luo Songxi was puzzled, he still replied carefully.

Lucy nodded, and asked Luo Songxi again, "According to the consumption level of Tarta Town, the unemployment benefit of 3,000 to 4,000 federal dollars per household, and there is no need to worry about housing, is enough to meet the basic survival needs of a family, that is, if you don't work, you can live a good life." But what do you think, what is the mental outlook of the Tartars?"

Luo Songxi was asked. He knew better than anyone else the long lifeless street, the young people who had nothing to do all day, and their hopelessly decadent youth.

"I went to Xixing Prefecture five years ago to conduct research, and I also walked carefully through the town of Tarta, where you live. "After the depletion of the Elemental Crystal, the town of Tarta was not without industries to develop, but the unenterprising life led to the malaise of all industries, and the sluggishness of the industry led to a low desire for consumption, which in turn led to a greater lack of progress." ”

"This creates an endless cycle, a cycle in which you can survive, but you can never develop. This is also the reason why Xixing City's dynamic consumer economy has not been able to radiate to the surrounding towns. ”

"Think about it, if you follow your thinking, give every state laborer, like the town of Tarta, to enjoy a worry-free life without work, not to mention whether the federal finances can afford it, do you want to see such a lifeless federation?"

"No, you won't see a dead Federation, you'll see a dead Federation. ”

"Are you still holding on to your ideas?"

Luo Songxi was speechless for a while.

"Don't be frustrated, I can see in school that you're not a political fodder. Leonardo walked over, patted Luo Songxi on the shoulder, comforted him and said, "However, your intentions are very good, and the reason why I fancy Luci and help him to take the position at the expense of falling out with his family is his package of plans to improve the treatment of workers." Lucy, what did you say by that?"

"Laborers are the easiest group of people to satisfy. If you can satisfy them, they will be the most powerful engine in this country. If you're going to drain them, they're going to be the most dangerous barrels of explosives in the country. ”

"This package of policies, in fact, is very simple, it is to help the poor and not the lazy," Lucy explained to Luo Songxi, "If I can be successfully elected, the first step to reform is the current comprehensive social assistance system." ”

"Should unemployment benefits be raised? Of course, they should be raised, and they should be increased by a large margin. So that workers can temporarily have no worries after losing their jobs. ”

"However, the unemployment CSSA cannot be received indefinitely, and a time limit must be set. Half a year, or a year, or is it linked to the number of years of service of the worker? We will formulate detailed rules for this in practice. We need to push the unemployed workers to find their next jobs as soon as possible. ”

"Then there is the employment promotion system, which requires special government departments and a large number of social organizations to help unemployed workers find their next jobs as soon as possible. It's a very complex system of practice, and we need to put a lot of energy into it. ”

At this point, Lucy turned to Leonardo again, "How did you think about my proposal last time? Parliamentarian Paul Edward would be the best person in charge of the two tasks mentioned above, and he has the experience and willingness that no one in the whole Federation can do to promote the completion of these two things. ”

"So I propose to you again that we break down party lines and have Congressman Paul and I form a partnership to run together. ”

"Would you be able to convince Paul that he would be able to convince a third party member and other members of the Construction Party?"

"I'm sure of all of that. ”

"Actually, the last time you told me about this, I didn't disagree. It's that I'm getting wind," Leonardo pointed to Rosongxi, "my good friend, who is secretly checking on him." ”

"So, that's why I've brought you together today. Leonardo said, "I want you to hear his advice in person." Luo Songxi, what is your suggestion?"

"Mr. Paul has no problem at all," Luo Songxi said without hesitation, "I don't know much about politics, but according to my investigation, I think he is a politician without any moral flaws, and I support his candidacy for vice president." ”

Leonardo patted the armrest of the couch and smiled, "You see, you have once again served as Mr. Key." That's it, Luci, I hope the press conference will take place as soon as possible, and from today, we will be in full campaign mode. ”

In fact, many people see great events, that is, things that two or three people decide in a few words. It's just that Luo Songxi, who has the temperament of a young man in a small town, has unconsciously become one of these two or three people.

Note: Actually, running for president at the age of 38 is not a shocking thing. Clinton was 32-year-old governor of Arkansas and was in his early 40s when he ran for president. When he ran for president, he was a little older, and he was only 46 years old.
