But at this time, someone actually took the initiative to run for president, which surprised the people in Congress, and there were still people who were so blind? It turned out to be Bi Guifang, a former diplomat, former overseer of Heilongjiang, and now the ambassador of the Republic of China to Soviet Russia. At this time, he had just returned home from his post as the ambassador of Soviet Russia, and he learned that anyone could run for president, so the servant submitted his application due to the misunderstanding of the servant.

The congressmen were suddenly elated, and filled in Bi Guifang's name, and after Bi Guifang inquired about the front and back, they were naturally startled, and Wang Maoru was running? This is really a chicken feather stuck in a telephone pole, what a big guts (duster).

I was a famous person for a lifetime, and I was confused for a while.

Bi Guifang immediately wailed and regretted that he must have failed in this presidential election, and not only failed in the presidential election, because later his friend Wang Youling, a member of the Fujian Parliament, said that candidates who failed according to the election rules can only hold honorary positions, and naturally do not expect Wang Maoru to arrange any work for him in the government in the future. Bi Guifang was so depressed at home that she couldn't leave the house, and scolded her little girl for not being able to inquire clearly, so she spread the news indiscriminately, so she was miserable.

Bi Guifang couldn't sleep well, lest he suffer in the future, especially if there was a general election in three days, how could he sit still and wait for death. So after he reported to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he immediately found Lu Zhengxiang, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and explained the reason to him, it turned out that his subordinates asked him, and he just agreed casually, but he was misunderstood by his subordinates, so he directly filled out the application form for himself, and asked Lu Zhengxiang to help him plead with the National Assembly or Wang Maoru.

Lu Zhengxiang smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Zhicheng, at this time...... It's not easy to do. ”

"Why?" Bi Guifang said.

Lu Zhengxiang said: "After work." You come to my house, let's have a few drinks, and I'll talk to you carefully. ”

In the evening, Bi Guifang picked out some generous gifts at home and brought them to Lu Zhengxiang's house. It happened that Lu Zhengxiang's eldest son Lu Shaohua was also there, but Lu Shaohua was in the government at this time as the deputy director of the National Inspection Department of the Ministry of Justice, and he could be said to be the most accomplished person in the Lu family.

Today, I heard that Bi Guifang was coming, and Lu Shaohua was going to leave. Lu Zhengxiang said: "You are also in the government, and you will definitely have contact with Uncle Bi in the future, and his future will be beneficial to you." Lu Shaohua stayed.

After Bi Guifang came. Lu Zhengxiang Lu Shaohua father and son received him, Lu Zhengxiang didn't drink, the drink was just an excuse, but Bi Guifang was in a bad mood and drank a few glasses. Lu Shaohua also had a drink with him. Seeing this, Lu Zhengxiang smiled and said, "Brother Zhicheng." Why be depressed, little brother wants to congratulate you. ”

Bi Guifang smiled bitterly: "That's it, why bother to congratulate you?" ”

Lu Zhengxiang said: "Your move, it is successful, it is Pengcheng Wanli, defeated, it is indeed a failure." ”

"Why?" Bi Guifang asked, "What is successful or not?" ”

Lu Zhengxiang said: "Brother Zhi Cheng really thinks that your move is a losing move? ”

"Yes, yes."

"Wrong. Wrong. Lu Zhengxiang smiled, "Brother Zhicheng." You've really done Shang Wujun a great favor. (Wang Maoru was named General Shangwu, so Shangwujun is the name of others for Wang Maoru to show respect)

Bi Guifang immediately said respectfully: "I would like to hear the details." ”

Lu Zhengxiang said: "In this election, Shang Wujun is running, and the position of president is definitely him. But who saw that there was still a position? Vice-President! ”

Bi Guifang smiled bitterly: "The position of vice president is a fictitious position, and it is just a fictitious position, and he can neither be in charge of politics nor participate in politics, which is really a laughing stock." ”

"But the vice president can't be in charge of politics, he can't participate in politics, and he can't discuss politics, and it doesn't seem to be as important as a member of the House of Representatives." Lu Zhengxiang said, "But Brother Zhi Cheng, Shang Wujun is the president, if you are the vice president, you will have your benefits." He is the pillar of the country, and he cannot go abroad, and after serving as president, the heavy responsibility of visiting abroad to sign some agreements with some small countries on behalf of the country will inevitably be entrusted to you. In addition, when important foreign guests visit, Shang Wujun will definitely be handed over to the vice president to receive him, do you believe it or not? ”

Bi Guifang was surprised: "This is impossible, in the past, the vice president stayed at home, and he would not go out if he had nothing to do, how could he ......?"

Lu Zhengxiang said with a smile: "That's because you don't know Shang Wujun, he is a person who is very good at arranging jobs for others, and everyone has something to do in his hands, that is to say, Shang Wujun does not raise idlers." I didn't think about it before, why Shang Wujun was able to create such a big system, and then Shaohua told me in detail, and I realized this after thinking left and right. Shang Wujun may not be talented, but he has one thing that you and I can't do, and he will always arrange people to do things well. ”

"Who wouldn't summon people." Bi Guifang said with a smile.

Lu Zhengxiang shook his head and said: "Wrong, this makes calling people an art, let whoever does what, if the arrangement is reasonable, the result will be twice the result with half the effort, if it is unreasonable, not to mention the success with half the effort, it is very likely to smash the signboard." He has three desirable things to do, the first is to arouse people, the second is to have a long-term vision, and the third is to be persistent. So, if you don't have a vice president, you're bound to be entrusted with a heavy responsibility, so that it will become a cumbersome practice to retire vice president in the future. Moreover, this time, it seems that those opponents of the election without exception have no administrative experience and no governance experience, and they are nothing more than enthusiastic chatter. They ran for election with Shang Wujun, and when they said it, it gave Shang Wujun a headache, the opponent was too bad, and it gave outsiders a good look of the president. ”

Bi Guifang smiled: "Isn't it a good idea?" If Shang Wujun participated, who would dare to compete with him? If this matter is not determined, what is the internal decision? ”

Lu Zhengxiang said: "What Brother Zhi Cheng said is very true, how can everything be fair, I also want that fairness, but I have seen over the years that fairness is just a dream." Therefore what I seek is to have peace of mind and not let the Lord Almighty dislike me for being filthy. ”

"Once you're in politics, you're dirty." Bi Guifang teased: "Why doesn't Zixin campaign?" ”

Lu Zhengxiang sighed: "It was not appropriate for me to come forward, after the European War ended in the Paris Peace Conference, I became a scapegoat." It was because at that time that Wu Jun vigorously promoted me in Europe, and I was able to take over the power smoothly after returning to China, how could I stand up and compete with him now? He can only nominate me for something, but there is no reason for me to choose what to do, can Brother Zhi Cheng understand? ”

Bi Guifang said: "That's true. ”

The two talked about the presidential campaign again, and now Bi Guifang has not yet come up with his presidential campaign manifesto, how to be a blockbuster on election day, but it is also a headache.

Lu Shaohua, who was silent on the side, said with a smile: "If you are running for president, Uncle Bi's campaign manifesto is not the same, but if you are running for vice president, my little nephew will have a good idea." ”

Bi Guifang hurriedly asked, "Virtuous nephew." ”

Lu Shaohua said: "Former President Sun Liwen failed to implement land reform in the south, but was abandoned by the southern gentry, and the south, which was originally the base camp, became the main force against Sun. However, this land reform was the idea of the Kuomintang Party, and President Sun Da only sorted out and standardized the ideas of the Kuomintang Party, and of course President Sun Da strongly supported it. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Bi Guifang was confused, saying that the election manifesto, why did it come to former President Sun Liwen again?

Lu Shaohua said with a smile: "Uncle Bi, although the Kuomintang has been repeatedly defeated and retreated after the resignation of President Sun Da, it is now scattered. But after all, there are many seats in the House of Representatives, so if Uncle Bib wants to compete for the vice president, he must win the votes in the hands of these idle Democratic Party members of the House of Representatives. ”

Lu Zhengxiang said: "You mean to use land reform to win the favor of KMT legislators, and then get votes?" ”

Lu Shaohua said: "Yes, this is a surprising victory." ”

Bi Guifang pondered for a moment and said, "It's indeed a surprise victory, I'm afraid there are more opponents." ”

Lu Shaohua said with a smile: "Uncle Bi, how can the opponents take care of opposing you at this time, they all support Shang Wujun." ”

Lu Zhengxiang laughed, Bi Guifang also laughed, it seems that the future is still the world of young people, the two old guys didn't expect the problem, Lu Shaohua figured it out.

The day before the congressional presidential election was much calmer than it had been three years ago, when he held several days of meetings without sleep, and everyone under him was nervous. And today, Wang Maoru's teacher Shaoyang was going to gather everyone again, Wang Maoru smiled and said Is this necessary? Shi Shaoyang lost his voice and laughed and said that there is really no need for this, Wang Maoru said that everyone should have a good night's rest, just listen to the song and relax.

Wang Maoru thought that he could relax, but his tense spirit was always tense, and no one could understand his mood at this time.

As a traverser, Wang Maoru cannot be regarded as a successful one, it took him twelve years to get to today's position step by step, and every dangerous and murderous step can kill him. Living until now, Wang Maoru thinks that he is lucky, and his luck is too good. He has gone through dozens of assassinations and plots, and several betrayals, but this blow did not break Wang Maoru, but made his nerves more tenacious.

Sun Liwen gave him a nickname called the Nine-Tailed Fox, does he really have that kind of wisdom? Of course not, it's just that because of the hardships and encounters he has gone through, he has far more information and situations than others. As a traverser, Wang Maoru knows that mastering information is the key to mastering a qiē.

The CIA gathered information for him.

The Investigation Department gave him information to collect information.

The Military Intelligence Department gathered information for him.

A commercial investigation company gathers information for him.

The Angel Children's Foundation, the Swire Foundation, and the Roca Foundation collected information for him.

The Youth Promotion Association collected information for him.

The Baath Party collected information for him.

Wang Maoru has mastered the first-hand materials of the examination, although he cannot control the development of all things, but it gives people an extremely strong illusion that this person is omnipotent, he exists like a god, no, he is a god in public opinion.

Whoever controls public opinion, who controls public opinion, who controls public opinion, who controls the country. (To be continued......)
