"Outside the number, outside the number, Li Yuanhong of the Constitution Party and Mr. Sun Wen of the Kuomintang have made it clear that they will participate in this presidential election!" The small newsstand carried a cloth bag with a large bundle of newspapers on its back, and a newspaper in his hand was shouted and sold on the street.

Early in the morning, Li Yuanhong walked out of his apartment wearing a black horse coat, two family members followed, and a car was parked outside the door, and he was about to get into the car, when a large group of reporters poured in from the street outside.

A male reporter asked loudly: "Mr. Lai, I heard that you intend to represent the Constitutional Party in this election, I don't know if it's true!" ”

Another female reporter quickly asked: "Mr. Lai, as far as I know, your party does not have any advantage in the number of seats in the National Assembly now, and the chances of you running for election and winning the election are very slim, so why are you still participating in this election?" ”

Other reporters wanted to ask again, at this time Li Yuanhong raised his hand to signal, and the reporters immediately shut up and waited for him to speak, Li Yuanhong smiled and said: "I can answer the question of this reporter just now." Yes, I have decided to run for the Constitutional, and all of our colleagues in the Constitutionalism have unanimously expressed their support for me. And this gentleman also said that our Constitutional Party does not have many seats in the National Assembly, and the possibility of our successful election is indeed very small, not only me, but even Mr. Sun Wen of the Democratic Party, the Kuomintang does not have an advantage in the seats of the National Assembly, and the possibility of him being elected is not very large, knowing that this is the case, but Mr. Sun Wen and I will still participate in the election, our purpose is to participate, so that the presidential election system can be carried out smoothly every five years, even if we know that President Xiao's ability and prestige may be re-elected for life, But we're still going to run for election! ”

As everyone knows. China has always governed the country with Confucianism, and the idea of the official standard has been deeply rooted. And the prestige of Xiao Zhenlei and the Predator in China has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, as long as there are no problems within the Predator. As long as Xiao Zhenlei does not make too big a mistake in politics, it is estimated that he will be re-elected president for life, and it will be difficult for others to take his place, unless someone destroys the system and forcibly seizes power.

In fact, there is no way for the Constitutionalists and the Kuomintang to participate in the elections, because they have fewer and fewer members of parliament and even fewer and fewer party members, and they have to promote themselves through elections and let the people know that their party exists.

As the country's political environment gets better and better. The economic development is getting faster and faster, the people's living conditions are getting better and better, the support rate of the Predator Party is getting higher and higher throughout the country, there are more and more members of the Subway Bloodline Party in various provinces, and the seats and places of parliamentarians of other parties are occupied by the Predators, but there is no way to do this, the parliamentarians in various places have been elected by the people, and although other parties can canvass for votes through some methods and means, their resources are extremely limited. Predators not only occupy most of the resources, but also have a deep reputation, and other parties cannot compete for Predators.

With the retirement of time, the people knew about the Predator. However, not many people know that there is a Kuomintang Party and a Constitutional Party, which makes Li Yuanhong and Sun Wen very anxious, and they also have the idea of promoting their party through competition to participate in the election this time. in order to attract more people to their party.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the executive meeting of the Predator's top level was held at the Predator's headquarters.

When Xiao Zhenlei walked into the conference room. Everyone else had already arrived, and he sat down and smiled, "It's all here." So let's get started, the main topic of this meeting is this general election, I don't know what your opinion is? ”

Ma Hanlong immediately said: "President, what else is there to say, of course we support the president's candidacy, with the number of seats our party has in the Congress, the president's re-election as president is a certainty, we have never regarded this matter as a matter, in my opinion, it is better to directly amend the constitution, no presidential election will be held in the future, and the president will be directly re-elected for life."

Fan Zhiyong shook his head and said: "Although Commander Ma has some truth in what he said, it is not easy to revise the constitution, as it is determined that the presidential position will be elected every five years, on the one hand, it is to reflect the democracy of our party, and on the other hand, it is also to stabilize the Constitution Party and the Kuomintang Party, and make a compromise with other parties." However, amending the constitution requires a proposal from members of the National Assembly, and more than 90 percent of the members of the National Assembly can approve the amendment of the constitution, and our party now has only more than 60 percent of the seats in the National Assembly, and it is not yet to the point of amending the constitution."

Fan Zhiyong has been serving in the Supervisory Yuan, and he is still very familiar with the current support rate of the people across the country for the Predator Party, which is gradually increasing every year, he continued: "It is not impossible to revise the Constitution, but the current conditions do not allow it and are not mature. In 1914, the support rate of the people of the whole country for our party was only 32.5 percent, in 1915, the support rate of the people of the whole country for our party rose to 39.2 percent, and in 1916, the support rate of the people of the whole country for our party rose to 46.8 percent, in 1917, the support rate of the people of the whole country for our party rose to 57.9 percent, and this year the support rate of our party has reached 66.3 percent. If, I mean, at this rate of increase, in three years, the support rate of the whole people for our party will exceed 90 percent, and then our party will have more than nine seats in the National Assembly, and then it will be a matter of course to amend the constitution! As for the general election, of course, I support the president."

Song Shijie said at this time: "Since the constitution cannot be amended for the time being, in the case of unavoidable general elections, of course we can only participate in the election, this I think all of us in the party support the president, from now on, we have to start preparing for the election campaign, the affairs of the European battlefield will be handed over to the military, and we will focus all our energy on the election campaign, although the re-election of the president is a sure thing, but we can't be careless, everyone knows that there are times when the boat capsizes in the gutter, Everyone must be cautious about this matter and go all out! In order to prevent the other two parties from using dishonorable means to obtain votes, I believe that in addition to the Congress itself, there should also be a supervisory body on our side to prevent the other two parties from using dishonorable means to expose their dishonorable behavior as soon as they are discovered! ”

Xiao Zhenlei smoked a cigarette and listened to the others express their opinions, and when everyone finished speaking, he said: "Since everyone supports me in running for the next president, then I will do it." On the issue of participating in the presidential election, we must not be afraid of gossip and give up the election campaign for the sake of so-called modesty and prudence, which is unwise and irrational, and our purpose is to lead the people to a happy life, so that they can live better and enjoy a higher quality of life. Under this governing philosophy, we will never admit that we will do worse than other parties, we must have this kind of confidence, on the issue of fighting for the ruling power, we must not be humble as a whole, and we must do everything in our power to firmly grasp the ruling power, because we believe that we can govern the country well, and we do not believe that others have done better than us! ”

"Whoa, whoa, whoa??????" There was fierce applause in the conference room, and Song Shijie and the others kept applauding and nodding with excited looks.

"The president is right, we just don't believe that others are doing better than us, we ourselves have the confidence and ability to govern this country well, so we must not give up the ruling power, we must firmly hold it in our hands!"

Xiao Zhenlei waited for the applause to stop, and continued: "The election must be carried out, no matter when it comes, the presidential election must be held, even if our party accounts for ninety percent of the seats in the National Assembly in the future, to the extent that the constitution can be amended, the presidential election cannot be abolished, every five-year term, this must be shaken, even if there is no other party to fight with us, we can fight within ourselves, only if we have enough ability and prestige, we can participate in the presidential election." Although I can serve three, four, or even five or six terms as president, I can't be re-elected forever, and I can't be president for life, which will leave a bad example for future generations, and as long as the country and our party need it, I can stand up and give everything I have at any time. It's not that I'm selfless, it's not that I'm not selfish, everyone has selfishness, but what is it compared to my own selfishness and the future of the whole country? Is it because of individual selfishness that we want to leave hidden dangers for the future of the whole country? Our country has been suffering enough in the past 100 years, we can no longer be chaotic, and the most important thing is to maintain political stability and enable each government and the next government to make a smooth transition, only by maintaining political stability, can the country achieve long-term peace and stability, can we achieve rapid development, and the people can live with peace of mind. And a person has been in power for too long, it is easy to be corrupted by power, too old, thinking will be slower by age, the brain is not very easy to use, and the thinking will be rigid, these are all facts, we can't avoid these problems, and these problems will have an impact on the government, so people have to retire after a certain age, I have decided to retire at the age of 60, and give the opportunity to young people! ”

Song Shijie flattered: "The president is far-sighted and broad-minded, I can't wait!" First of all, I think we must remember and communicate with the members of our Party in the Congress, which may require the President to attend the meeting, and after meeting with the members, we will arrange for the President to make a nationwide lecture tour to publicize the principles and work direction of the President and the next term of our Party, so as to win the support of the broad masses of the people for our Party."
