Chapter 717: Congressional Speech

None of the Predators' members of the Diet hold any positions in the cabinet, the center, or the local government, and they do not receive salaries from government departments, only some allowances to maintain their daily expenses, but in fact these people are not short of money, they are all well-known people in the local area, and they all have their own industries, some are cultural celebrities, some are giants of scientists, some are business tycoons, some are teachers, workers, business leaders, and even many farmers.

As members of the Predator Party, these people undoubtedly spare no effort to support Xiao Zhenlei to continue to be re-elected to the presidency, after all, Xiao Zhenlei is not only the leader of the Predator Party, but also a community of interests with them, and Huaguo is under the leadership of Xiao Zhenlei to get rid of the shackles of feudal society, get rid of the oppression and blockade of the Western powers and rise, which has fully proved Xiao Zhenlei's ability to govern, the presidency in recent years has made Xiao Zhenlei's prestige in the hearts of the people of the whole country higher and higher, and they represent all the members of the Predator Party, At the same time, it also represents the will of the majority of the people in the country.

At the meeting of members of the Predator of Congress, Xiao Zhenlei said at the meeting: "Thank you for your trust and support to me, the people trust and support you, you trust and support me, I lead the government to work for the well-being of the people of the whole country, this is a benign cycle of trust and support, we are a whole, if any of these links go wrong, the country will be sick, the country is like a person's body, a person's body will be weak when it is sick, and its limbs will be weak, Like the robbers of the great powers, who peep into our wealth and resources, they will bully our house, burn and plunder. The reason is actually very simple. But there are very few people who can really see it and have a sense of responsibility for this country. And you are precisely the representatives of these people, and to some extent, any decision you make will determine the future of this country, so you have to be very cautious.

The war that swept the world has been going on for four years now, and the war has reached this point, the warring countries are exhausted, Britain and France are already in ruins, and the people's livelihood is withering, and we are taking advantage of this war to rise from the cracks of the great powers. We will no longer be caught in the middle of the great powers, we will no longer have to look at the eyes of the great powers, and we will no longer allow any of the great powers to use our land as a hunting ground.

We took advantage of the contradictions between the great powers to overthrow the Manchu Dynasty and establish a brand new state, and we used this war to vigorously develop the national economy and resurrect the national economy, which was already on the verge of collapse. Until now, we have been among the world's advanced industrial countries, many of our scientific and industrial technologies have been ahead of the world for decades, we have also made achievements in agriculture that can change history, and our scientists have invented and cultivated good seeds. Let the yield per mu rise from two or three hundred catties to more than 1,000 catties, these miracles that have attracted worldwide attention are created by our scientists, workers, and peasants, which shows that our Chinese nation is no worse than any other nation. We are no more stupid than the Great Powers, the Western Powers can do it. We can do it, and we can do it better. What we do, they may not be able to do, this is the wisdom of our Chinese nation!

If I can be re-elected in the next term, our government will continue to vigorously develop the national economy, the economic foundation determines the superstructure, from the rural peasants to the urban workers, from the villagers' committees to the cabinet, everything needs money and funds, and we need money and funds to do everything, and our development of the national economy is to let the people have money, so that the people of the whole country can become rich, and only when the people are rich can the country be rich, and only when the country has money can the army be better equipped, and only then can we make more powerful weapons and build strong ships and artillery. It can be seen that if the country is poor, there will be no strong army, and it will not be able to protect the country's territory and the security of the people, and the poor people of the country will have to suffer from cold and starvation, and we must not forget to develop the economy at any time, and if the economy cannot develop, the people will be cold and starving, and the people will rebel if they are not well fed and clothed, is this the fault of the people? If the people are not fed and clothed, it is the incompetence of our government and our responsibility! Only the incompetent rulers will scold the people who make trouble and rebel as the people! Only an incompetent ruler will shirk responsibility!

This war will not last long, judging from the current situation, the German-Austrian alliance will only last another year at most before it fails, after the end of the war, the impact of the war will not end, but the impact will be greater and greater, and a large number of industries related to the military industry that we have established in recent years will be impacted, why? After the end of the war, the demand for war materials will be greatly reduced by the governments of various countries, and what if the products produced by so many of our military-related factories cannot be sold? The backlog of products in the warehouse causes a lack of working capital, and without working capital, how can the factory maintain its operation? The demand for grain in various countries will also be greatly reduced, and then the price of grain will plummet, and the peasants' grain will be piled up in the granary and cannot be sold, or can only be sold at a low price, which will cause great losses to the peasants, and it is very likely that the cost will not be recovered all year round. Not only the military industry and food, but also other materials, such as the textile industry, minerals and other industries from raw materials to deep processing enterprises, will be affected to varying degrees, these are what our government needs to make the right guidance, to avoid all walks of life to suffer heavy losses, or try to reduce the losses to a minimum! In this regard, I already have a complete response, and if I follow my plan, I believe that we will not be affected by the end of the war, but will lead to greater economic development."

Xiao Zhenlei's speech was responded to by a flood of huge applause, and all the Predators stood up and applauded loudly, even without Xiao Zhenlei's speech today, they still believed that Xiao Zhenlei could continue to lead them forward, and after this speech, their confidence was even stronger.

After returning to the presidential palace, Xiao Gao, the secretary of the president, reported to Xiao Zhenlei: "President, according to the arrangement of our campaign committee, you will start a nationwide speech tour this Saturday, and the first stop is the four eastern provinces."

Xiao Zhenlei lit a cigarette and smoked it, and after thinking for a long time, he shook his head and said to Xiao Gao: "Now the war situation in the European battlefield is changing rapidly, and new situations may arise at any time, and the northern Soviet Russian side is not honest, with Kolchak's ability, it may not be able to block the attack of the Soviet Russian side. This lecture tour actually doesn't really work, our system is different from the United States, ordinary people don't have direct voting rights, and it's an extraordinary time, so let's keep it simple, you go and tell the campaign committee, just say cancel the national lecture tour! I was busy with the period of Siberia and Kazakhstan during this time".

"Yes, President!"

Xiao Zhenlei's speech at the meeting of members of Congress was reported by several official newspapers, and then reprinted by newspapers in other provinces, cities, and regions, and some of the contents of the report were deleted, after all, it involved the Allied countries, and if it was published directly, it would affect the unity between the Allied countries and would also have a negative impact on international relations.

After the publication of this report, it immediately caused a great repercussion across the country, and many shrewd businessmen discovered the mystery in Xiao Zhenlei's speech, and they realized that after the end of the war, many industries would be impacted, especially the industries related to the military industry would be impacted, and Xiao Zhenlei's speech was actually sounding the alarm bell for many domestic enterprises, reminding them to let enterprises and factories transform in a timely manner, to adjust the direction of production products and operations, and not to wait until the end of the war to transform later.

Many people with a long-term vision have realized the great role and predictability of Xiao Zhenlei's speech in the Congress, and they are deeply aware that I am afraid that only Xiao Zhenlei can see such a long-term view, and no one else has such ability. For a while, the support rate of the Predator Party was higher, and Xiao Zhenlei's support rate also increased.

Yang Du hurriedly walked into the president's office and said to Xiao Zhenlei: "Oh, president, why don't you tell us before you make a speech in Congress, your speech is very forward-looking, and it is huge to play a multi-purpose role, if it is only in our internal speech, it is okay, but now it is spread to the outside, and at the same time, it will also point out to our opponents the direction of the next government, if the other party sees through this, they are likely to formulate corresponding policies, which is also very unfavorable to us!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei said with a smile: "Mr. Yang can rest assured that the vision of their two groups of people is very limited, they are standing in the current era to see the problem, I am looking at the current problem with the perspective of a few years later, even if they know the problem, they may not be able to come up with a feasible solution, now the trust and support of the people are on our side, even if they have a feasible governance plan, it is useless, our efforts in the past few years are not useless, We have really changed the country, and the eyes of the people are clear, and they know very well how they should choose."

Yang Du was silent for a moment, bowed down and said: "The president has a point, it seems that Du is too worried, since the president is so confident, then Du will not say anything anymore, Du will leave first!" (To be continued......)
