"What, that Jewish consortium is actually spending money to buy votes!" After hearing that the Childe family was buying votes in many small cities, Gustav's heart instantly sank to the bottom.

In big cities like Berlin and Munich, it is absolutely not feasible to spend money on tickets. It is highly regulated and difficult to manipulate.

In glorious areas such as the Ruhr industrial region, this shady approach is hardly effective.

However, in many small cities and villages in Germany, the people did not get their rights. Some of them were voluntary, while others were even coerced into handing over their election votes in exchange for what the consortium called "propaganda funds."

Originally, after the Childe family launched their own presidential candidates. Gustav's team had always expected an election with a three-legged balance of power. In fact, the Childe family's early self-promotion also confirms this.

However, just now, after a phone call from a returning Liberal Party member, Gustav and his party found out that they had been completely deceived!

At the last minute, the Childes used a large amount of money to buy votes on behalf of their rival Hindenburg.

After hearing the news, Gustav asked three times in a row, "Is there a mistake, didn't the Childs buy election votes for Meyer?" ”

However, the person on the other end of the phone insisted that the Childes were indeed buying votes for their rival Hindenburg.

Convinced of the news, Gustav did not ask any other questions. He just quietly replied to the other end of the phone, "I see." Then, he hung up the phone.

"Guys who help me call the campaign, I'm going to have a few words at the end." A disheartened Gustav, with a pained look, said to the chubby female secretary outside the office.

Gustav has long been interested in the candidate of the Child consortium. Meyer wasn't optimistic. In Gustav's view, Child. Meyer's biggest campaign capital was the nearly 600,000 Jews in Germany.

In addition to these 600,000 Jews, Child. Meyer did not find much support among the Germanic people in Germany.

In other words, the Junkers' previous repression of Jews played a role, and the majority of the German population hated Jews.

It was this repression from the Junkers that made Gustav believe that the Childe consortium would choose to stand with him and unite against the Junkers.

However, the Child consortium was more able to let go than Gustav had imagined. They must have secretly struck some sort of deal with Hindenburg, which is why they funded Hindenburg's candidate for the Junker aristocracy.

The pernicious effects of such a deal are enormous.

In private, the combination of the two groups greatly reduced the probability of Gustav's success. There are only nearly 600,000 Jewish supporters of Child. Meyer was supposed to be the candidate with the lowest approval rating. But if these nearly 600,000 people switch to Hindenburg, it will be a huge vote that cannot be ignored.

Given the level of Jewish solidarity, it is not impossible to organize such a conversion.

Yu Gong said that the wool comes out of the sheep. The capitalists give their capital to the people, and they will certainly get back more benefits from the people in the future. Now the more money they spend to buy votes, they will definitely find ways to get the people to spit out more capital with interest in the future.

It's a pity that Gustav can't do anything about it. The voting period has closed and the counting of votes is about to end. All dust is doomed.

Now Gustav is standing in his office on the fifth floor of his office building, waiting for the members of his team to arrive for the last regular meeting.

He stood quietly in front of the window, a cigarette in his hand, and realized the last time he spent in the office. After a few days, the entire floor rented for the campaign was returned. At the same time, all campaign funds that sponsor themselves will be stopped.

Behind him, the members of the Liberal Party gradually gathered and stood silently aside.

From the day Gustav entered the presidential campaign, they have been fighting for more than 2 months. As a small and medium-sized party, neither in terms of funds, manpower, nor social resources, is comparable to the Junkers and the Jewish Foundation. It is hard for others to imagine how much hardship the Liberal Party has put in to get to where they are today.

Although the Krupp family co-opted some military-industrial enterprises to provide financial support, the Socialist Workers' Party also did its best to help with propaganda. However, in the face of this sudden change, Gustav's chances of victory were very slim.

Germany, after all, is still the world of those chaebols. For hundreds of years, their tentacles have penetrated every field. Everything in the country is controlled by them, and the choices of the people are modified by them at will.

Gustav thought he had an opportunity to change the status quo and fight for a better future for Germany.

For this reason, he will not sleep more than 6 hours tomorrow. Giving speeches, advocacy, attending events, meeting with representatives from all walks of life, Gustav squeezed almost every minute and every second out of himself.

He is not a man without flaws. He had been a fierce opponent of the republic, and had an irrational support for Karp's uprising.

However, his love for this country is something that everyone around him can deeply feel.

He was an idealist and a warrior who refused to compromise!

But now, he can only stay in his office, hoping for a result.

The performance that belongs to him has already come to an end before it starts.

The two female party members who had received Zhang Chengtian couldn't help crying.

They are the secretaries of the team, the witnesses of this history, and the participants in this history......

However, after today, they will leave this time full of passion and hope in the corner of their memories and seal it.

Everyone felt very aggrieved, everyone's hard work, everyone's sweat and hard work, but in the end, they didn't even get the opportunity to come to power.

This result, which everyone has been looking forward to for a long time and fighting for a long time, is so aggrieved.

Gustav turned his head, looked around at the atmosphere, and smiled slightly: "No one is allowed to leave until the results are announced." It's been more than 2 months, and we haven't had a good meal together, so I have to treat everyone to a good meal tonight. ”

Seeing that everyone was still immersed in sadness, no one answered. Gustav made a little joke: "Last time we had a little longer lunch together, and when we came back, we received a surprise from General Reinhardt. This time, maybe there will be some kind of fright after eating. ”
