While Norris was busy cleaning up the aftermath, Liu Wei saw little Capua who had arrived from Reno. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Because on the issue of supporting Scott's participation in the presidential race, Capua Jr. was both an insider and a participant, so Liu Wei did not hide from him the idea of continuing to help Scott, and took Capua Jr. to Carson City that night to meet Scott, who was making the final sprint for the election.
This time, Liu Wei did not leave little Capuya outside.
"Mr. Liu, I didn't expect to see you again so soon."
"Governor, looks like you're in a good mood."
"Of course, Norris is going to be finished, can you not be happy?" Scott smiled and said, "You've definitely seen yesterday's news that Norris publicly declared responsible. From what I've learned, in a few days, he will leave the White House on his own initiative, leaving the mess to the vice president. ”
Liu Wei nodded, indicating that he had heard about it.
"I've contacted several members of Congress to initiate an impeachment case that would bring Norris to ruin."
"Is this necessary?"
"Norris must be completely finished, so that the account can be settled on the head of the Ming Cook Party, and it can be ......"
"Governor, may you say a few words?"
Scott was stunned for a moment, and then thought that Liu Wei came to him, there must be something very important.
Liu Wei smiled, glanced at little Capua, and then said to Scott: "Before getting down to business, we might as well ask Mr. Capua, who is an ordinary citizen of the United States, as an experienced person of the incident." ”
Scott frowned and looked at Capua Jr. as well.
"What do you think about things as a citizen?"
"A disaster!" Little Capua shrugged his shoulders, "A true catastrophe, and the worst disaster we have suffered in more than two hundred years. ”
"So, how do you feel after all this happened?"
"Impressions!?" Little Kapua didn't seem to understand what Liu Wei meant.
"To put it bluntly, would you think it's Norris?"
"Of course not, he's just a president, and although he's a bit mediocre in dealing with the crisis, he's always fighting the enemy."
Liu Wei smiled and turned his gaze to Scott. "Governor, you heard that too. In the eyes of ordinary people, even if Norris is not good enough, he is a hero who fights hard against the enemy. It is undeniable that the prestige of the Ming Boiled Party and Government Axe has been greatly damaged, and it is very likely that they will lose the election, and the people need a stronger political axe, and a stronger and smarter leader to lead them out of the predicament, and do not want to see a politician who will only fall into the trap and put the blame on others, and will be desperate to seek their own interests. ”
Scott's face turned red because Liu Wei was mocking him.
"Of course, we don't have the right to judge Norris for what he did wrong, but we have to understand that there is more or less Republican responsibility for this incident."
"The responsibility of the Republican Party!? Mr. Liu, are you mistaken, this is completely ......"
Liu Wei pressed his hand, stopped Scott's words, and said: "I don't know who attacked Manhattan, maybe even Norris doesn't know who the enemy is, but we can assume, just hypothetic." I believe that as long as the time comes, the real culprit will be found, but the people who have already been enraged will not give the political axe so much time. From the side of the Ming Cook Party, whether it is Norris, who still lives in the White House, or the vice president, who is about to take over power, they will show the way for the people, so that the people's anger can be vented. ”
"You mean ......"
"I don't know what Norris is going to do, but there are only two possibilities, one is to declare this the work of a terrorist organization, and the other is to declare war on a certain country."
"Terrorist organizations?" Scott was stunned for a moment and said, "If there was such a powerful terrorist organization, we would have been defeated a long time ago." ”
"Of course, Norris might have a mix of the two possibilities."
"What do you mean?"
"It was announced that a state-sponsored terrorist group planned and organized the attack in order to create a target for retaliation for the United States."
Scott was stunned for a moment and motioned for Liu Wei to continue.
"If that were the case, it would be difficult for the Republican Party to stand alone, because it was the last Republican president who launched the war on terror that has been going on for more than a decade, dragging the United States into a quagmire and making the United States the main target of attack and retaliation by terrorist groups around the world."
"But ......"
"Governor, not so much. For the uninformed common people, they are more willing to believe in an intuitive and understandable reason, even if it is not the truth. ”
Scott gritted his teeth, agreeing with Liu Wei's point of view, even if it was a little reluctant.
"There's no doubt that you can't stand up and blame Norris, at least not be a bird. As for the rest of the Republicans, you can't control what they do, and you don't have to care. All you need to know is that what the people need is a wise and strategic leader who can lead America through the storm. ”
"I understand, but such a good opportunity, if I don't show up......"
"Afraid of losing public opinion?" Liu Wei smiled and said, "Governor, you're thinking too much. In my opinion, Norris is a very smart politician, and even if he lacks a bit of courage in the face of the crisis, on the whole, he still has an accurate grasp of the psychological changes of the population, otherwise he would not have made that statement yesterday morning. ”
"No matter how smart he is, he won't end well."
"For him, leaving the White House with dignity is the best outcome." Liu Wei smiled and shook his head, "Now that Norris has taken this step, he will compromise with the Republicans who can help him." To put it simply, Congress must be at odds with him on some issues, and he knows that no matter what he does, the Myoke Party will lose the plan, and the next president will definitely come from the Republican Party. In this case, Norris, if he was smart enough, would find a suitable partner and reach a political compromise with him. ”
"What do you mean......"
"This man will definitely become the next president."
Scott's brow jumped a few times, and his expression became much more serious.
"Don't forget, Norris must have enough capital to become president. If you can get his staunch supporters on your side......"
"I understand, but ......"
"Governor, here we go again."
Scott was stunned for a moment, then laughed and asked, "So, what should I do?" ”
"Reach out to Norris as a sympathizer in order to establish some kind of interest relationship with him and get the support provided by him."
"So I have to speak for him?"
"Not for him, but for the United States of America."
Scott looked at Liu Wei and didn't seem to understand what Liu Wei meant.
"This incident, no one in the White House will do better than Norris. You have to be tough enough and take aim at enemies abroad to convince the public that you have the power to lead America to victory over all enemies, to get justice for your fellow citizens who died in the attack, and to make the enemy pay a heavy price. ”
After pondering for a while, Scott nodded thoughtfully, understanding what Liu Wei meant.
"Of course, there is no shortage of shrewd politicians like you in the United States, but everyone knows that now is not the time to stand up and excuse Norris, so you have to calm down and let those politicians who lack a long-term vision stand up and blame Norris, and even make your potential opponents stand against Norris. Wait until things get bigger, and your chance will come. I believe that Norris will never refuse the help of a friend. ”
"I see what you mean."
"Then do so."
Scott gritted his teeth, looking a little hesitant.
"Governor, you have a very huge advantage over the other contenders."
"What?"
"You're not a federal politician or a member of Congress, so you weren't involved in this incident, and under your rule, Nevada has achieved remarkable things. These are all bargaining chips for you to enter the White House. All you have to do is get the timing right and say the right thing at the right time. ”
Scott let out a long breath and heard what Liu Wei meant.
"Of course, I will support you as always." Liu Wei glanced at little Kapua and said, "As always, we won't see each other often. The Governor must understand my struggle, and it will do you good as well. After all, this happened, and the American people are very wary of foreigners like me, and we have to keep our distance. In the meantime, Mr. Capuya will serve as my plenipotentiary, and I hope he will have a suitable place on your campaign in order to play his part in helping the governor become president. ”
"How's the spokesperson?" Scott replied very crisply.
"Governor, Mr. Capua is not good at speeches."
"What do you mean......"
"As a successful Wall Street investor, I think Mr. Capua is better at the economic side of things."
Scott was stunned for a moment and said, "Now the public is concerned about how to get revenge on the enemy, not on economic construction, even if the reconstruction work is very important." ”
"Isn't that right? Mr. Capuya also does not want to be too conspicuous. ”
Hearing Liu Wei say this, Scott didn't hesitate any longer. "Since Mr. Liu believes in Mr. Capua's ability, I naturally don't have the slightest doubt."
"So, we've agreed?"
"Of course, tomorrow I'll introduce Mr. Capuya to the rest of the campaign."
"Very well, I'm sure this time next year, we'll be going to call you president." Liu Wei smiled and stood up, "Capuya will stay in Carson City, and if the governor needs my help, Capuya can find me, and I am very happy to work for the governor." ”
"It is also an honor for me to work with Mr. Liu."
Liu Wei didn't bother anymore, and after saying goodbye to Scott, he left the governor's mansion with little Capua.
On the way to the helicopter airport, Liu Wei instructed Kapua Jr., mainly on how to adapt to the atmosphere of working in the political circle.
Although Capuya is not the most suitable candidate, he is the only candidate that Liu Wei can find.
