Chapter 227: Opening the Voting Channel

"The population of China is about 1.4 billion, the total population of Europe and the United States combined is less than 1.1 billion, and the population of Southeast Asia is about 600 million, even if the total population of Europe, America and Southeast Asia is only about 300 million more than the population of China, but how many countries are there in Europe? How many countries are there in Southeast Asia? According to the statistics of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism in the past, one-third of the total income of our country's tourism industry in the first two years came from China, and the total income from Southeast Asia and Europe and the United States was less than one-third, and 70% of the income of our country's department store retail industry came from China. I don't think their people will back down in the slightest, and Congressman Kim's remark that 'based on past experience, Chinese people will resist for a period of time at most, like a gust of wind' is wrong, and if we do not repair relations with China, then our country's tourism and department store retail industries will be hit hard in the next five years, and the annual sales of our country's major enterprises will also plummet, especially in the Samsung electronics and cosmetics industries. ”

Guo Dahai hurried to express his opinion clearly before the timeout, but Jin Wuxing and Zheng Zhiguo still felt unimpressed by this.

After the moderator presses the start button, the debate with a time limit of 5 minutes begins.

"Councilor Guo, according to what you said, should we immediately admit our mistakes to the Chinese side?"

Jin Wuxing asked with a hint of anger.

"Instead of admitting mistakes, we should take the initiative to send ambassadors to communicate with the Chinese side and listen to their opinions, so as to resolve the contradictions and conflicts between the two sides in a timely manner."

"The opinion of the Chinese side is that we should suspend cooperation with the United States, is this acceptable? Congressman Guo, don't forget that we have signed an agreement with the United States, do you know what the consequences will be for South Korea and the United States if we break the contract? ”

"Yes, of course I know that we can only try our best to explain to China what has become a fact, and we have the ability to stop things that have not happened in the future."

"In this way, Congressman Guo, are you pro-Z?"

Zheng Zhiguo asked sharply.

"What I think and say is based on the interests of our Republic of Korea, I don't have a relationship with any country, we don't have the power to choose in front of those superpowers, but we need to learn from history."

"Councilor Guo, what do you mean by the lessons of history?"

"According to my observations, there are many people in our country who have a good impression or even gratitude to the Japanese state, and isn't this the disastrous consequence of the failure of our education and the invasion of the other party's culture?"

"Councilor Guo, the object of our discussion now is China, not the Wa Kingdom."

"Whether it is Hwakook or Wakoku, Congressman Kwok's meaning is very clear, and we have to take the interests of the Republic of Korea as the fundamental starting point, and I can understand what Congressman Kwok meant."

Park Ji-won chose to stand on Guo Dahai's side this time.

"I insist that there should be no irreparable rift between us and our allies because of temporary economic losses."

"I insist that we can't kill our country's tourism industry because we need to do something to please others, because tourism can bring very considerable economic growth to our country, and what we are doing now is pushing our own money to other countries, which is extremely stupid for our country and its people."

Guo Dahai criticized mercilessly.

"Councillor Guo, you are still young, you don't know the difficulty of diplomacy, please don't ignore the efforts of our diplomatic ambassadors."

"Diplomatic ......"

"I'm sorry, it's time."

When Guo Dahai was about to refute Jin Wuxing's words, the host announced that the 5-minute time limit had expired, and they were about to enter the last social topic discussion.

"As of today, there have been more than 800 election-related crimes during the general election, of which more than half are committed by young people, and many citizens have left messages on the Internet saying that they hope that these criminals will not be punished.

"I support leniency or immunity from legal punishment for some crimes that are not egregious in nature, and legal punishment for some crimes of a heinous nature, everyone hopes that the candidate they support can win the final victory, but we have to ensure the fairness of the election, so please those who try to sabotage to stop their criminal acts in time."

Jin Wuxing's words represent the thoughts of the other three parliamentarians, including Guo Dahai, who also organized a few sentences to reexpress the meaning.

The perpetrators of the election were mainly engaged in vandalism of posters or pamphlets against other candidates, which was not serious in itself, so most of the perpetrators were not immediately investigated, and at most they were released after being educated by the police.

The PD of the program team saw that Guo Dahai and others had no opinion analysis, so he also felt that there was no need to waste time discussing this topic.

"At the end of the program, I would like to ask each of the members of the parliament to say something that you want to say from the bottom of your heart to the people who are watching our program, first of all, Rep. Kim Moo-sung."

Kim Moo-sung smiled at the camera and said, "Dear people, I would like to express my sincere respect to all the people who created the Republic of Korea today, we have overcome countless hardships and adversities in the turbulent times, and new difficulties will follow one after another in the future, but I believe in the strength and confidence of all the people of the Republic of Korea, and I believe in the strength and confidence of our energetic people, and we will be able to unite and successfully overcome the countless difficulties in the future, and we, the Liberty Korea Party, will give everything we can to the prosperity of the Republic of Korea." ”

The second person, Jeong G-kook-yasu, spoke passionately: "Dear people, now that we at the Barron Party want to work with you to find a way to the future with confidence, I want to shake off the shackles of the past, calmly look at the constraints of reality, and move forward with the possibilities of the future. ”

The third Park Ji-won was calmer than Jung Gi-kook, and he said calmly: "Dear citizens, we must build a warm society and care more about the old, weak, sick and disabled and other alienated people, and for this reason, I would like to internalize the welfare policy and eliminate all unreasonable discrimination, we will face a gender equality society, and we will be prepared for the coming aging society, the era of allowing foul play and privilege must end, and the tortuous atmosphere of justice and opportunism must be liquidated, Establish principles, build a society of trust, and make people who work hard and upright to succeed in society, and make the majority of honest and honest citizens feel meaningful, just as our name suggests, the People's Party. ”

The last one, Guo Dahai, had a part of the speech he had prepared that was repeated with the other three, so he had to temporarily change part of his speech.

"Dear people, in order for the Republic of Korea to achieve true prosperity and strength, we should create a political atmosphere in which the interests of the country and the welfare of the people are prioritized rather than the interests of the party and the strategy of the party. The second science and technology nation', constantly expand the knowledge and information base, cultivate new industries, promote culture, and actively support the development of cultural industries, education also needs innovation, so that our children can get out of the hell of the college entrance examination and various cram schools, and give full play to their talents and creativity, for the sake of sustained economic growth, for the health of society, we must eliminate corruption, and can no longer be left alone for the sake of personal interests, we will promote this process with extraordinary determination. ”

The discussion of uninvited candidates officially ended with Guo Dahai's speech, and everyone was signaled to leave the stage in PD.

Guo Dahai got up and shook hands with Park Ji-won next to him and Jung G-kook and Kim Moo-sung opposite, and the host also said to everyone: "Thank you, four parliamentarians, for participating in the recording of our discussion today. ”

……

The general election activities are in full swing, and Guo Dahai has put aside the affairs of the National Assembly for the time being, and he follows the candidates almost every day, either by car to the campaign bus to the streets to solicit votes, or to the local places to distribute leaflets to meet with the citizens.

On May 1, the overseas voting channel will be opened, and the deadline for the overseas voting channel is May 4.

On May 2, KBS held its third candidate panel (social sector), which will be followed by a pre-voting session.

The results of the last poll before the pre-voting show that the support rate of the candidate for document 1 is 38%; The support rate of the No. 2 candidate is 16%; The approval rating of the No. 3 candidate Ahn Cheol-so is 20%; The support rate of the No. 4 candidate Liu Chengmin is 6%; The support rate of the No. 5 candidate is 8%; The support rate of the No. 6 candidate, Zhao Yuanzhen, is 0.3%, and the support rate of the other candidates is almost 0.

Changde Building

Mr. Im summoned all the members of the Candidate Election Committee to a meeting at 9 p.m. on May 4, the day the pre-voting channel opened, to discuss the sudden private meeting of Ahn Cheol-so and Hong Joon-pyo to discuss the simplification.

"According to the current support rate, if candidate Ahn Cheol-so and candidate Hong Joon-pyo are really single, then we will be in trouble, and candidate Ahn Cheol-so is also interested in contacting candidate Yoo Seung-min, and the votes of the three parties will definitely exceed our votes combined."

Ren Zhonghui first analyzed the current situation to the members of the Election Committee, and the candidate Wen listened from the sidelines.

"One of the two of Yoo Seung-min and Hong Joon-pyo will definitely not cooperate with each other, so Ahn Cheol-so can only achieve a single-mindedness with one of their candidates, according to polls, even if Ahn Cheol-so and Hong Joon-pyo are single, their votes may not necessarily exceed ours, right?"

Yoo Seung-min and Hong Joon-pyo are opposing camps, and Song Yong-gil thinks it is impossible for them to achieve a single phase with Ahn Cheol-so together.

"Councilor Song, the polls are polls, and the real votes they add up may really surpass us, what will we do then?"

"If Ahn Cheol-so and Hong Joon-pyo achieve unity, then we can also negotiate with candidate Sim Sang-woo to ask her to withdraw from the election and support us instead, so that they will definitely not be able to surpass us in the votes."

The relationship between the Justice Party and the Democratic Party of Korea is not bad, and the relationship between Shen Sang-yi himself and Candidate Moon is also very friendly in private, so Song Yongji's approach is not impossible.

"I don't think Hong Joon-pyo will be unified with Ahn Cheol-so."

Guo Dahai suddenly spoke.

"Why? Councillor Kwok, why are you so sure? ”

Ren Zhonghui looked at him with a puzzled face and asked.

"Because it is impossible for the candidate of the Liberty Korea Party to withdraw from the election, and it is impossible for Ahn Cheol-so to join the Liberty Korea Party in order to be elected, and it is even more unlikely that he will promote Hong Joon-pyo in the event of an advantage, it is impossible for the two parties to achieve unity."

Guo Dahai's analysis made Song Yongji and the others pause, and they all nodded in agreement with Guo Dahai's statement.

"But what if they are single, I think we should go to the candidate Shen Xiangyi to discuss it first, once the unity is realized, then the candidate Shen Xiangyi will announce his withdrawal and support us, what do you committee members think?"

Ren Zhonghui was still worried in his heart, knowing that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, they couldn't make the slightest mistake, and his countermeasures could be said to be foolproof.

After saying his suggestion, Ren Zhonghui confidently looked at candidate Wen, but the other party did not make any response.

"Director Ren, your method can certainly ensure that we are elected, but if we go to negotiate with the candidate Sim Sang-woo now, the conditions they ask for will definitely be unusual, because the initiative is in their hands, and if everyone has the confidence to believe that the candidates Ahn Cheol-so and Hong Jun-pyo will not achieve unity, then we don't need to look at the face of the Justice Party at all, and we don't have to agree to the conditions they offered, right?"

Guo Dahai's words also have his truth, but Ren Zhonghui didn't dare to gamble on the election, none of them dared to express their stance again, and everyone was waiting for candidate Wen to speak.

After serving as the head of the office for a long time, Candidate Moon finally spoke, "I think Congressman Kwan's words are very reasonable, he is a doctor of psychology from Seoul University, and none of us knows better than him what Candidate Ahn Cheol-so and Candidate Hong Joon-pyo are thinking, not to mention that I also think that the two of them will definitely not be single-minded." ”

"But ......"

Ren Zhonghui wanted to say something, but Candidate Wen decisively waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's do this for the time being, everyone has worked hard during this time." ”

"It's not hard."

The crowd answered.

"Adjournment."

"Yes."
