Chapter 250: Running for Governor

The streets of Manhattan are crowded with people.

Many citizens gathered around Times Square to watch the speeches of the two candidates.

However, among these crowds, there were not only ordinary people watching the excitement, but also spies and bodyguards from the Dragon Chamber of Commerce.

They mingled in the crowd and invisibly made a protective circle that radiated outward to Roosevelt on the podium.

Although Roosevelt is still in a wheelchair at this moment, his face is extremely ruddy and healthy, which is related to the positive feedback brought by his long-term use of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, and insistence on soaking in hot springs.

On the other hand, as his opponent, Harris Niergus is full of style, his black and white hair is meticulously combed, and his thick upturned beard is karting, which takes half an hour to take care of every day with a ruler.

Dressed in formal attire, he stood on a stage set up in advance, and began to speak to the surrounding people through a loudspeaker to canvass for votes.

These two are the only two remaining candidates in New York State, and their approval ratings have been deadlocked, and today's public speech will ultimately determine who will sit in the governorship of New York State.

"Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen! I'm Harris Niergus, and I'm sure you're all familiar with me, and yes, I'm running for the position of Governor of New York because I know best what the citizens of New York want and don't want, and I know what people care about the most and what they hate the most.

I promised that as soon as I became governor of New York, I would give every young person of working age a $200 unemployment allowance until they found the job they wanted.

I also promised to focus on cleaning up the slums of Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and the Bronx, tearing down the cancer there, leaving gang criminals unrefuge, and giving us a safe, prosperous and miraculous New York State~! ”

Harris turned around and began to paint his blueprint for the future, stinking and long.

After his tirade, he drew applause from many around him, most of whom were young people in their teens or twenties, because they would be the most direct beneficiaries of the policies Harris had promised.

Can't find a job and still get $200 a month? This is too tempting for young people who are lazy to do things, after all, why not give money for nothing?

Roosevelt straightened his tie and angled the slightly higher amplifier, and before he could speak, he heard a sneer from Harris, who was not far from him.

"Hey~ Let's see, do you choose me, or do you choose this guy who can only sit in a wheelchair and look like a circus clown to be your governor? If he just wanted to make fun of you, then he succeeded, didn't he? ”

"Hahaha~"

The crowd erupted in a not very friendly laugh, but there was no displeasure on Roosevelt's face.

He re-spoken: "What I want to tell the public is that you are electing the governor of New York, that is, you are electing politicians, not picking movie actors, no matter how good you look, no matter how sound your limbs are, if you don't have a sober and intelligent brain, then we might as well choose an orangutan in the zoo more directly." ”

"Hahaha~"

This time there was a louder burst of laughter than before, and Harris's face turned blue and he gritted his teeth, but it was no longer convenient to continue interrupting Roosevelt's speech.

"Hello New York citizens, I'm Franklin Roosevelt, and I want to say that we live in a very fortunate time, but also an unfortunate time, when we have to have one high-end drinking party after another even if we borrow money to get by, and we have to worry about where our food will come from the next day.

Maybe we have to take off our formal clothes and put on coarse linen clothes to come to the docks to earn a living and sell our strength, or maybe we can hire child labor, evade taxes, and open mining farms to play side balls.

But what I'm telling you is that this is not what the citizens of New York State are supposed to do, this is not what the people who really love this land should do, and all they do is prepare to destroy this place, to destroy New York, to destroy the New World, to destroy the Union!

They are like a swarm of termites, a swarm of borers, gnawing through the middle of the stout trees, and breaking them with a poke of ...... New York, or the world, is in such a delicate state right now!

It's like a bubble that slowly rises from the bathtub and reflects the multicolored light, which will burst at any moment...... Once this delicate balance is upset, what will we face in the first place? Perhaps many citizens do not know, but let me tell you now that the first thing we are going to face is inflation!

The money in your hand can still be used as ten dollars today, maybe you can only spend it as a dollar after a night's sleep, or maybe you sleep again and it becomes a penny, and your money will be burned and devalued, and then there will be a large number of bankruptcies, a wave of unemployment.

People can't find jobs, people can't earn wages, people can't afford to eat, they can't afford clothes, they can't afford to see a doctor, our children can't get into schools, our men can't get into factories, our women will be forced to take to the streets......

At that time, the whole of New York State will become a hell on earth, which is an outcome that every one of us who loves New York does not want to see, and I hope that everyone can unite to get through this together, and some people may ask, where is the difficulty? What we see when we open the newspaper every day is that so-and-so has built a railway, so-and-so has dug up oil, so-and-so has invented something, a certain movie is being released, and a certain celebrity has a lace scandal with whom.

Yes, on the surface, it looks like a thriving and peaceful world, but hidden behind all this is the winner and loser who will determine our future life.

There is a saying in the East called being prepared for danger in times of peace, and I think it is very suitable for our current situation, ladies and gentlemen, I will not say anything pretty, and I will not easily make any wishes to others before things are 100% implemented, because that is unrealistic and unfounded.

I think as a politician, the most basic thing is to be trustworthy, you have to be trustworthy to your people, to your country, to your allies, so I'm not going to give any promises here that can't be kept, and in my opinion that's empty promises.

So, please wait and see, I will tell you who is the person you should really choose, and who can lead you through the crisis.

My name is Franklin Roosevelt, and no matter who you vote for, I want you to love your family, your parents, your wives, your husbands, your children, and all the people you care about, and you will protect this love and not let outsiders destroy him. ”

As soon as Roosevelt finished speaking, there was a thunderous round of applause, applause, and whistles.

Waves of sound from far and near, turned into a torrent of sound, smashing into his opponent Harris not far from his side, smashing into his team members, and smashing on his heart, smashing him unsteadily, smashing his body backwards.

I have to say that whether Roosevelt is a person who speaks or acts, it is difficult for people not to support him, not to choose him, not to believe him, perhaps this is the most basic core competitiveness of a politician, that is-charm.
