Chapter 695: Public Opinion

A few minutes later, after Chida Yu finished his suggestion, Lei Luo thought for a moment, quickly made up his mind, beckoned to Lu Jiu not far in front of him, and whispered after he leaned over.

Then, Lu Jiu nodded and called a few Konoha ninjas who maintained order in the hall, and several of them left in a hurry, and Lei Luo also raised his head again at this time, and said loudly:

"Ladies and gentlemen! I know what you're scrupling about right now, so in a moment, someone will hand out the ballots, and you just need to write the names of the councillors you support on them, and that's it! ”

"In other words, this vote is by secret ballot!"

When the words fell, although the people of the Fire Country did not show much reaction, through careful observation, Lei Luo could still find that many people were invisibly relieved, and their eyes flashed with anticipation again.

Obviously, compared with some European countries in the previous life, which did not experience the Renaissance and did not experience the revolution at the bottom, the people's thinking is undoubtedly extremely conservative, and on such occasions, they are afraid to exercise the power they deserve.

Lei Luo felt that among them, there might be both a sense of inferiority left over from the feudal tradition, or a sense of fear of not daring to offend the big guys, and their performance at the moment was exactly the same as the hand-to-hand fight in Konoha Village.

In short, it is to protect oneself, not believing that the country's top leaders will delegate power, and not believing that the high-ranking officials of the Daimyo Hokage will attach so much importance to them, and even embarrassed to show their political positions unmistakably in front of everyone.

After a few minutes, Shikaku ran in from outside the Congress Hall, followed by several Konoha ninjas carrying large baskets filled with blank papers.

Under Lei Luo's gesture, the ninjas did not hesitate to distribute all the blank paper and pens, and everyone in the Congress Hall quickly had a set of paper and pens.

Today, the people who can enter the halls of the Diet are mostly law-abiding civilians in the capital, except for ninjas who maintain order, a small number of bureaucrats, and businessmen, which is very representative of the country as a whole.

On the whole, the election was relatively fair, at least Lei Luo had not been angry with the parliamentarians on the arrangements of the prime minister, and this group of powerful bureaucrats and capitalists had no time to use their means.

In other words, who can become the prime minister of the cabinet, who can hold the executive power of the country, and who can get the full support of Konoha and Ta Railuo in the coming time, it depends on this election, who can successfully win the hearts and minds of the people.

Considering that there were many civilians present who were illiterate, Lei Luo arranged for manpower and distributed a bunch of number plates to hang on the chests of the councilors, with extremely simple numbers such as one, two, and three written on them, trying not to make any oolongs.

In this way, the vigorous campaign for prime minister began, the parliamentarians finished their speeches, and the civilians began to write numbers on the ballot papers and vote for their favorite prime minister.

In this process, in order to prevent accidents, the Hyuga ninjas opened their white eyes, and the Uchiha ninjas opened the writing wheel eyes, which can be said to be monitoring everyone present without dead ends, and anyone who wants to make small moves is asking for their own death.

The scene fell silent for a moment, except for the faint sound of the pen tip rubbing across the paper, and it was not until ten minutes had passed that the sound had stopped.

Immediately afterwards, the ninjas stepped forward to collect the votes, and asked several people from different walks of life to start checking the votes, and began to count the support of each councillor while ensuring that everything was fair and transparent.

When the results were finally announced, a three-word name suddenly caught Lei Luo's eyes, making him subconsciously cast his attention on the group of bureaucrats and parliamentarians, focusing on a middle-aged man dressed simply and with an ordinary face.

"Mamoru Kageyama, with seventy-five votes, ranked first, congratulations on becoming Prime Minister."

After announcing the results aloud, Lei Luo put down the roster statistics in his hand, stepped out of the chair, and slowly walked to the middle-aged man who seemed to be calm.

At that time, he seemed to ask himself a question.

How did you answer?

While thinking about the events of that day, Lei Luo stretched out his arm, and waited for Mamoru Kageyama to react, under the envious or jealous eyes of the surrounding councilors, and in the gathering of hundreds of expectant eyes on the front and back, left and right, the two shook hands vigorously.

It was accompanied by the sound of celebration from the mountains and tsunami in the audience.

The 14 candidates for parliament cover the most powerful and high-status group of people in this country, but when it comes to strength, these 14 people are obviously divided into three, six, nine and so on.

And the little-known person in charge of the former Fire Country's armed forces organization, but because the generals didn't listen to orders, he actually didn't have much real power, so he could only be regarded as the lowest rank Kageyama Mori in the 369 rank......

However, he was able to fight his way out of the encirclement in the purest public opinion election, and with an overwhelming number of votes that almost doubled the second place, he won the power of the prime minister, and this person truly showed the aspirations of the people of the country of fire.

There is no hatred for no reason in this world, there is no love for no reason, the eyes of the people are not blind, and the brains of the people are not stupid, and the reason why they chose Mamoru Kageyama proves that this person must have an extraordinary side.

No matter what Mamoru Kageyama did before, working with this kind of person, Lei Luo said that he was very relieved, because it meant that Mamoru Kageyama was indeed a good official who really considered the people.

A good official is naturally the kind of person who has ideals, beliefs, and can pay for the group regardless of personal interests.

In this way, the country can become strong.

In the eyes of Lei Luo, who regards the Fire Country as his own asset, whoever can do a good job as the great steward of the Fire Country and stabilize the people's hearts will be qualified to be his Lei Luo's partner and receive the absolute support of Konoha by force.

Mamoru Kageyama, even if his power is not comparable to that of any of the councilors, and the daimyo may not know him, but from now on, he is the de facto ruler of the Fire Nation.

Just because, he represents, Lei Luo's will.

……

The first session of the National Assembly ended successfully, and Lei Luo saw that his various plans passed the national bills smoothly, and saw the absolute power derived from the absolute force he wielded.

Parliamentarians saw their own legislative power, the right to be elected.

The cabinet formed with Mamoru Kageyama at the center saw its own executive power, and the people saw that their trusted officials became the prime ministers of the country, and they gradually believed in the voting power in their hands.

In this series of changes in the national capital, there are many people who have benefited, such as some officials, some capitalists, ordinary civilians, and many people have suffered, such as the die-hard members of the former daimyo, the nobles of the old society, and perhaps ......
