Chapter 43: The General Election Begins

The election of the Chinese prime minister, which is held every four years, can be re-elected indefinitely, provided that you win the election, of course.

In the election of the prime minister of the empire, although every citizen of the Chinese Empire has the right to vote, in fact, the key to success or failure is still in the House of Representatives, because the votes of those members are the key to determining the choice of prime minister.

Today is the day of the four-year prime minister election of the Chinese Empire, and the whole people are looking forward to it.

There are 10 candidates for the election, all of whom are powerful figures in the empire, including the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Prime Minister, the Foreign Secretary, and of course, the previous Prime Minister Xiao Chen.

In Tianjing City, on the tower of Antienmen City, ten huge electronic screens were erected to display the votes of ten prime minister candidates.

The general election lasted for three days, the first day was the referendum of all the citizens of the Chinese Empire, the second day was the vote of the delegates who came from all over the country, and the third day was the final vote of the House of Representatives to decide the prime minister.

Every citizen of the Chinese Empire was very satisfied with Xiao Chen's governance, so Xiao Chen's voice among the people was far higher than others.

On the ten huge electronic screens on the upper floor of Antiemun Gate, Xiao Chen's votes have always been dominant, with a hundred times more votes than his opponents, and he has an overwhelming advantage.

However, the voice of the people does not represent Xiao Chen's victory, and he knows that the final decision is still in the hands of the House of Representatives.

The first day passed in a hurry in the cheers of countless people, the prime minister and other candidates looked at Xiao Chen's terrifying number of votes, and couldn't help but turn pale, they didn't expect Xiao Chen to have such a high support rate among the people.

As the saying goes, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, Hong Wentao feels that even if Xiao Chen loses this election, he has actually won the world!

On the first day of the election, in the woods deep in Xiangshan, Xiao Yao, who had been whipped by Xuantian for a month under the pretext of eliminating the side effects caused by the star power crystal, suddenly got up.

With a flash of light in his eyes, looking in the direction of Tianjing City, the young man smiled slightly.

"Are you going to start? Hehe! The boy left the woods with a confident face.

On the second day of the general election, the Great Hall of the People of Tianjing City.

Xiao Chen, Hong Wentao, and eight other candidates sat on the rostrum, and below them were filled with representatives of the people who came from all over the country.

The Great Hall, which is large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people, is a little crowded at the moment.

On the rostrum, Hong Wentao glanced at Xiao Chen, who had a serious face, and sneered slightly, "Xiao Chen, I think your support rate will be as high today as it was yesterday?" ”

The votes of these people's representatives are no longer simply voted for who to support, they have political significance, and most of these people are on Hong Wentao's side.

At the end of the election the next day, Hong Wentao's votes were unexpectedly high.

Looking at Hong Wentao, who sneered at him, Xiao Chen's expression was indifferent, this had long been expected by him, and what really decided the outcome was the vote in the House of Representatives on the third day.

After two days of intense voting, on the third day, this fateful moment finally arrived.

Early in the morning, the entrance to the Great Hall was surrounded by reporters and stopped outside by a group of guards.

Xu Yu, Xiao Chen, Hong Wentao and other candidates, surrounded by dozens of parliamentarians, walked into the Great Hall.

The final general election has officially begun!

In the Great Hall, eight of the ten candidates have abstained, and after two days of election, even if they are stupid, they can see that the candidate for prime minister this time has almost been decided on Xiao Chen and Hong Wentao, why should they sit there as a foil all the time.

Therefore, at the moment, there are only Xiao Chen and Hong Wentao in the candidate position.

Below, in addition to the 50 members of the House of Representatives, there are also relatives and friends of Xiao Chen and Hong Wentao, as well as a large number of reporters carrying various cameras in the back.

The Hong family and the Xiao family are clearly separated, the seats are far apart, Xiao Yao, who is sitting in the seat, can't see who is coming from the Hong family at all, and similarly, the people of the Hong family can't see him.

With the host's voice: "The election begins!" ”

Speaker Lee was the first to pop out.

"Xiao Chen, the former prime minister, during his time in power, he made no achievements in China, and I think he should be replaced in power, so I chose Hong Wentao."

Xiao Chen's face was expressionless, and he just looked at Speaker Li coldly.

Xiao Yao, who was sitting below, was furious, eager to step on Speaker Li's old face a few times, and then spit and foam.

As the speaker of the House of Representatives, Speaker Lee has a special status and has the privilege of presiding over this election.

After he finished speaking, he turned to look at the other councillors and said lightly: "Now please start voting, this time the vote will be by secret ballot." ”

Suddenly, a box containing ballots was brought to Speaker Lee.

"Now I'm done voting, now I'm going to read the ballot!"

Speaker Li's gaze inadvertently swept over Hong Wentao, and the two nodded their heads, and then Speaker Li began to read out the ballot.

"Hong Wentao, one vote!"

"Hong Wentao, two votes!"

Every time Speaker Li pronounced a word, a person in charge of recording next to him added a vote for Hong Wentao, and through the large screen behind the two, you can see the votes of the two.

When Speaker Li finished reading, the data displayed on the big screen was that Hong Wentao had forty-two votes and Xiao Chen had eight votes.

Hong Wentao won by a landslide.

Speaker Li and Hong Wentao finally showed a successful smile, and then, Speaker Li glanced at Xiao Chen provocatively, and began to announce proudly.

"In this election, Hong Wentao won, and I announce that Hong Wentao will be appointed as the prime minister of the current Chinese Empire!"

If everything develops according to Hong Wentao's plan, the Xiao family will definitely be defeated this time, but will this really be the case?

Just as Speaker Li was about to congratulate Hong Wentao on his inauguration as prime minister, a faint voice suddenly sounded: "Slow." ”

Suddenly, everyone's eyes turned to the source of the sound.

There, a young man in black, with a lazy attitude, stood quietly.

"Xiao Yao, this is the general election of the prime minister of the empire, there is a part of your interjection, shut up!" Seeing Xiao Yao speak suddenly, Speaker Li instinctively felt bad, and hurriedly opened his mouth to stop.

Just when Xiao Yao stood up, the reporters' cameras had already begun to shoot at Xiao Yao, as a reporter's keen perception, they felt that Xiao Yao would definitely break something next.

And at this moment, in the Hong family's camp, a young man and an old man looked at Xiao Yao with interest, their faces full of disdain.

Another young man scolded directly: "What does this waste want to do when he jumps out? This person is Hong Wentao's youngest son, Xiao Yao's classmate, Hong Antong, who snatched Xiao Yuer.

"Brother, don't be impatient, see what he's going to do!" The young man next to the old man said lightly.

Hong Wentao has a total of two sons, the youngest son Hong Antong was admitted to the Harvard School last year, and the eldest son Hong Anguo has already entered the Harvard School and has become the elite of the Harvard School.

The young man who sat with the old man was Hong Anguo.

Hearing the words of the eldest brother, Hong Antong suddenly stopped speaking, but just stared coldly at Xiao Yao in the distance.

Looking at the imposing Speaker Li, Xiao Yao smiled disdainfully: "Speaker Li, as a legal citizen of the Chinese Empire, I have the right to express my opinion on the choice of the prime minister of the empire. ”

"Ridiculous, now the candidates are only the prime minister and your father Xiao Chen, the prime minister works for the country day and night, everyone can see it, are you saying that your father is a person who does all kinds of evil?" Speaker Lee scoffed.

"No, no, my father worked hard for the Empire, he was honest and selfless, how could I say him...... As for who I'm talking about, that person knows it in his heart! Xiao Yao looked at Hong Wentao on the rostrum and said with a sly smile.

There are only two candidates for prime minister left, and Xiao Yao pointed out by name that what he said was not Xiao Chen, so fools understand who he is talking about.

Speaker Li shouted angrily: "Huangkou Xiaoer, you must pay attention to evidence when you speak, if there is no evidence, you are slandering the current prime minister, and this crime alone can make you sit in prison!" ”

"Of course I have proof, otherwise how dare I stand here!" Xiao Yao looked at Speaker Li like a fool, he was waiting for the other party's words.

Hearing that Xiao Yao actually had evidence, Speaker Li was a little panicked, looked at Hong Wentao uneasily, and found that the latter's face was as usual, so he was secretly relieved.

And when those reporters heard Xiao Yao say the word evidence, all the cameras immediately focused on Xiao Yao, ready to shoot this paragraph as soon as possible, such a big news will definitely make headlines.

Xiao Yao beckoned to the man with sunglasses beside him, and then in the stunned face of Speaker Li, the big leader took off his sunglasses and bowed to everyone around him.

When he saw the big leader, Hong Wentao's face finally changed.

"Hello journalists, first of all, let me introduce myself. I'm an interstellar bandit by profession, and I'm also the Grand Leader of the Sirius Bandits......"

When the big leader reported his very promising career, everyone suddenly exploded, what is going on, on the day of the election of the prime minister of China, there was actually a big leader of the interstellar bandit group!

Xiao Yao frowned, why is this product so verbose: "Let's talk about the point!" ”

The big leader didn't dare to be grandstanding, so he hurriedly changed his words: "Everyone, don't be impatient, in fact, I have now abandoned the darkness and become a servant of Young Master Xiao Yao, I want to tell you something important today." ”

Speaking of this, the big leader turned his gaze to Hong Wentao on the stage.

Everyone's hearts tightened, and the main event came.

"Although I am the big leader of the Sky Wolf Bandits, I have been doing things for others, this person asked me to help him plunder resources, let me help him eradicate dissidents, and even let me help him frame the former Prime Minister of the Empire. As you may remember, the robbery of the Zijin Mine a few months ago was actually instructed by that man. ”

"This person is the Prime Minister, Hong Wentao."

God, what did I hear?

Isn't it, the Prime Minister is such a person, can I withdraw the vote just now?

If this sanctimonious hypocrite is allowed to be the prime minister, then the Chinese Empire will never be at peace.
