Chapter 198: Running for Governor (1)
"Xianggong, why is your face so bad? Are you sick? Liu Lanzhi asked with concern.
Tang Ning shook his head and said, "I'm not sick because I just received the main quest for the next text world. ”
"Oh? What's the next text world you'll visit? Liu Lanzhi asked curiously.
Downing replied word for word: "Mark Twain's campaign for governor." ”
"Running for governor? Oh, I've seen this story, it's very spicy and funny to write. Liu Lanzhi echoed, and then seemed to suddenly think of something, and asked in horror: "Oh my God, Xianggong, should your task be?" ”
Before she could finish speaking, Tang Ning nodded with a pale face and replied: "That's right, it's these four words in the title of the book, running for governor!" ”
"W-How is this possible? If I'm not mistaken, the protagonist in the gubernatorial race is not only just an ordinary person, without any chaebol support, but also neither a Democratic nor a Republican, but a fictitious independent party. Not even parliamentarians! Liu Lanzhi couldn't help but exclaim.
Tang Ning sighed dejectedly, and then replied: "Yes, this is what I am worried about now, is this an impossible task at all." ”
"So, have you discussed with the system god to see if you can lower the difficulty of the task or simply change the text world? I remember that when you went to Laoshan Taoist priest, wasn't it a temporary change? Liu Lanzhi proposed.
"I've already asked about this, but the system god said that it was impossible to change, and also reminded me that there is no impossible task, as long as you are willing to carefully look for clues and open up ideas, you will definitely be able to think of a way, don't you say nonsense." Tang Ning replied angrily.
"Since there is no way to change it, then we can find a way to face it, I just briefly looked at the election for governor again, and found that this is actually a war of public opinion? To put it more bluntly, isn't it more than money? It's not that we don't have money, but I can't do it, I can still get a sum from the Cruise family, and when the time comes, you will fight a public opinion war with them, I don't believe we will lose? Liu Lanzhi said domineeringly.
Tang Ning thought for a while, waved his hand and said: "Forget it, although we have a little money, it is still far from those consortia, and if I really have something, I have to keep this money for you, don't worry, there is still more than a month left to run for governor, I believe I can always figure out a way." ”
A few days later, with the help of enthusiastic netizens and writers in the writer group on the forum, Tang Ning finally planned a solution that he thought he was very satisfied with, so he told Liu Lanzhi with great interest. I must mark it out here, the strategy method of this copy is the history group writer friends who helped me research, I hereby thank you!
But Liu Lanzhi was skeptical: "Xianggong, can you do this method?" Isn't it a little too risky? And how is it that the United States you describe is completely different from what I know? ”
"Because you're familiar with the America of 2017, not the America of 1865." Tang Ning replied mysteriously.
At the appointed time, Downing entered the world of running for governor, and just as he was getting used to it, someone knocked on the door to visit, and this person was none other than Philip Carlos, the head of the New York State Independence Party.
As soon as they met, the fat-looking guy said enthusiastically to Downing, "Oh, my dear Mark! Do you know what good news I have for you today? ”
Although Tang Ning already knew what he was going to say, he still deliberately pretended to be very curious and asked, "What good news?" Does anyone want to turn mine into an opera? ”
Philip waved his hand and said, "Oh, it's not such a trivial matter, it's Mark You may be going to be governor, our governor of New York, how about it, are you excited to hear this good news?" ”
"Governor? If I'm not mistaken, I guess the election hasn't started yet. Downing replied unmoved.
Philip replied with some embarrassment: "That's why I said it's possible, as long as you get the nomination, you have a chance to succeed, right?" ”
"That's right......
Before Downing could finish speaking, Philip invited credit and said, "Mark, I have worked hard to get you this nomination this time, you must cherish this opportunity." ”
Tang Ning snorted coldly and said, "Oh? Did it take a lot of effort? I don't think anyone will be competing with me for this nomination, this kind of gubernatorial race is either a Democrat or a Republican, when has it been the turn of the other parties? Even if our Independence Party has a nomination, it will be a foil for others, and whoever wants to go to this kind of thing, I don't want to go. ”
Although there is no obvious "donkey-elephant dispute" as it was in 1974, the donkey represents the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, but almost all important positions such as governors and presidents in each state are held by people from both parties, and even if there are candidates from other parties, they are all destined to accompany the prince to study.
"You can't say that about that, you see Hamilton Fish isn't a Whig." Philip stubbornly explained.
"So what's the difference between the Whigs and the Republicans? Lincoln used to be a Whig! Tang Ning said angrily.
Before the Civil War, American politics was dominated by the Democrats, the Whigs, and the Free Soil Party, but the Whig Party split due to disagreements over slavery, and in 1854 the Liberal Soil Party, the Northern Whig Party, and a portion of the Democrats who opposed slavery formed the Republican Party.
President Lincoln, as a representative of the Republican Party, actually did not recognize himself as a Republican at first, and still insisted on his Whig identity until 1860, when he appeared as a Republican presidential candidate. This can be seen in a letter he wrote to his friend Speed in 1855.
ps:Push a book system to experience the destroyer.,The author is also a guy with a lot of personality.,The previous works of swords and flags and red flags all over the wasteland are niche texts that are very worth savoring.,Of course, the premise is that you have to be interested in this subject.。
And the first copy of this book he chose is also Mr. Lu Xun's works, but unlike me, he has kneaded all Lu Xun's works together, and the writing is quite creative, interested friends can take a look. In addition, there was something that caused no update yesterday.,Apologize here.,I must make up for it when I have time.。
