Lin Mo came in relatively early, and waited for about half an hour before the audience entered the venue one after another.

There are many acquaintances.

Lin Mo alone knew more than a dozen of them.

On the surface, they have different identities, including Wall Street tycoons and top figures in various industries, but behind the scenes, they are actually working boys of major families.

After two years of intelligence gathering, Lin Mo basically has a certain understanding of the major forces in the United States, especially in Washington.

The fact that these people are here is enough to show how much they value today's speech.

Indeed, today is the last speech in the Free Council, and after a 24-hour vote contest tomorrow, the day after tomorrow will be the day after tomorrow.

Whoever will be able to compete for the position of Grand Duke on behalf of the Liberty Society means that the family or chaebol behind it will be able to gain an advantage in the next 4 or even 8 years, and leap over the other families.

Nothing new under the sun.

Since ancient times, rebellion has been a matter of high investment and high return.

It's just that there is no need to take risks in this amazing country, because every four years there is an opportunity to compete openly.

It seems to be a competition between people, but in fact, it is secretly a competition between various forces.

There are still about ten minutes before the show starts, and the rest of the audience are whispering to familiar people, and Lin Mo, who is idle, is using his mobile phone to swipe the largest social software in the United States.

Twitter is a great way to get intel.

Because almost all the news that Lin Mo pays attention to every day is related to the Grand Duke competition, the information he obtains is basically all about this information.

At present, according to online polls, the number one support rate is undoubtedly Ron DeSantis, with about 30% of voters voting for him.

The gap between the remaining five is not large, basically 20 or more than a dozen support ratings.

Only Foster is the lowest, with an approval rating of less than 10%.

Very bad situation.

And there are basically negative comments and threads about Foster on the Internet, and you can see a lot of them every time you refresh them.

[Other guilds say the people, and if you support Foster to come to power, you will hear the family, no one knows better than me. 】

[Haha, if Foster is allowed to come to power, then it will be the sorrow of America. 】

[Is there really no one who wants to teach Forster how to speak his mother tongue well?] 】

"No one knows America better than I do. 】

[I'm really fed up with Foster pinching his little finger and repeating the appearance of Great Xia, Great Xia, Great Xia! ] 】

[Shet, I really doubt he's undercover, otherwise why would he always wear that damn red scarf?] 】

Lin Mo looked at the comments on the Internet, and suddenly a certain bad taste rose.

He tried to imagine what it would be like for the populace to see such a man walk into that famous palace and dictate to the whole of America.

No one would have thought that it wasn't the Freemasons, or the alliances of the plutocrats and arms dealers, and the damn medicine and insurance, that were behind all this.

It's a porter who was still working at the bottom of Daxia a few years ago.

In just two or three years, Lin Mo felt very magical when he thought about it, and even worried that one day when he suddenly woke up, everything around him would disappear, and he would become that ordinary porter again.

Just as Lin Mo was thinking, eight o'clock came.

The lights in the studio suddenly dimmed, the noise in the huge auditorium gradually stopped, and everyone's eyes were on the direction of the stage.

Suddenly, the lights came back on.

A slightly chubby host who was about 50 years old, wearing a straight suit, and another beautiful host in his early 20s, tall, blond hair and blue eyes, appeared on the stage.

[Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the speech of the Liberty Council debate tonight, let us welcome the six protagonists tonight with the warmest applause. 】

The audience burst into warm applause, and the six candidates competing for the Grand Duke walked out of the backstage, while the beautiful hosts were also introducing their different identities.

There are a total of six podiums on the stage, each with a different name.

The highest support in the polls stood on the far left, while the lowest support stood on the far right.

Such a simple and direct sorting can make it clear at a glance who is the most popular and who is the most popular now.

It has to be said that the United States is better at simplifying complex issues to the extreme.

Just a ranking and standing position can allow ordinary people who don't even understand the competition to understand what these people are doing for the first time.

When everyone was on the stage, the barrage of the program team instantly began to increase.

“USA!!!”

“USA!!!!”

"Make America Great Again!"

"Great!"

"Achieving Justice, Unleashing Potential – Choose Ron DeSantis and Start a New Chapter for America!"

"Ron DeSantis!"

"Ron DeSantis!"

"Ron!"

"As long as you choose Johnson Foster, everything will be solved!"

“USA!!!!”

“USA!!!!”

"Choose Ron DeSantis and start a new chapter in America!"

"Foster go down!! It's disgusting!! ”

"Go down! You don't deserve to stand on it! ”

"Choosing Ron DeSantis ......"

Each camp is shouting different slogans, trying to overwhelm the other in momentum.

In fact, it's not just online.

Lin Mo can see through the live broadcast of social software, and now the outside of the TV station is also very lively.

There was still light snow in the sky, but the atmosphere was extremely intense.

Most of the people who were able to come to the scene were fanatical fans among their respective fans, some of them took off their shirts and waved colorful flags shirtless, and some held up photos of their supporters and shouted hoarsely in the crowd.

Others feel that they are not excited enough, and quietly inject certain drugs into their bodies.

Cold fireworks, smoke bombs, and all kinds of strange tattoos and slogans make the whole square like a group of demons dancing, very chaotic.

But even if the atmosphere reaches this point, no one will disregard reason to trouble other candidates' fans.

Everyone is partying in their own area, as if no one else exists.

Without violence, no matter how jubilant they were, the police could only stand by and not interfere with their madness.

In this magical land, you can die, but you can't live.

At the main entrance of the TV station, the major news media in Washington and self-media people from all over the world, of course, will not let go of this huge traffic, holding long guns and short guns, waiting for the arrival of the protagonist.

After the host introduced the backgrounds of the six competitors, tonight's large-scale reality show officially kicked off.

The first speaker was undoubtedly former Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who has the highest approval rating at the moment, and he wore a very explosive military uniform instead of the other contenders.

The trimmed military uniform outlines his muscular figure like an action blockbuster, coupled with a height of 2 meters, he has already won a big step in image at that stop.

"Gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, good evening, everybody, everybody."

The sonorous and powerful voice, combined with Ron DeSantis's movements that have been practiced countless times, every little detail is so precise and in place.

Even if he is not a supporter of his, he will maintain respect for such a tough guy, at least he will not be hacked online.

Ron DeSantis is indeed the competitor with the least black material on the Internet at present.

"This is especially important this year, as a country we are approaching an electoral election that is exciting, lively and vital to us."

"But we also have a series of decisions to make, and sometimes those decisions make us focus on what divides us rather than what unites us, and what kind of candidates we support rather than what kind of country we belong to."

"Over the past few weeks, we've seen FEMA personnel, security personnel and responders race against time in the hardest-hit areas."

"We've seen medical workers use their lunchtime to distribute relief supplies, families vacate their spare bedrooms, and firefighters provide free hot baths. The buses were packed with volunteers hundreds of miles away. Neighbors share everything they have: food, water, and electricity. ”

Ron DeSantis's image, coupled with his sonorous voice and generous and decent speech, soon made the barrage full of his name.

There are many people who praise it, but few people who slander it.

The crowd was partying, but the audience sitting in the studio didn't have much expression.

Many of them had already listened to Ron DeSantis' speech before the show.

The main role of their presence here today is to stand up for their competitors.

Lin Mo was not very interested in these fake big empty speeches, and the purpose of his coming here today was to get in touch with Foster after the speech program was over.

The presentation continues, and everyone has a different amount of time.

The first place winner will have a 10-minute speech, and everyone will have a one-minute reduction in their speech time after that, so by the time Foster takes the stage, there will only be 4 minutes of speech.

He obviously knows this too, so there are no superfluous opening remarks, and the content is heavyweight as soon as he opens his mouth.

"You must bow your heads and struggle, struggle! Struggle! Never, never give up! Don't give in, don't back down, and never stop doing what you know is right. Nothing worth doing is a breeze. The more you fight for justice, the more opposition you will face. ”

"You have to come into the world and turn your hopes and dreams into action."

"If I were elected Archduke of this country, I would tell my people that America would be the land of dreams ...... future."

"No one knows the country better than I do, and no one is better suited to be a Grand Duke than I am."

"Choose me, I'll bring manufacturing back, I'll make employment go up, and I'll abolish the damn health insurance!"

Compared with other competitors, Johnson Foster is actually more incitant and more daring to speak.

Because other people are hindered by all kinds of entanglements of interests, they will not act on the core contradictions of America at all.

It's not that they don't want to, it's that the interest groups behind them won't allow them to do things that are out of line.

Putting you on stage is for me to make money, not to block me.

Johnson Foster has significantly less resistance in this regard, because he doesn't have any warmongers or vested interests in health insurance standing behind him.

So he dared to promise, and he dared to promise something that was unwarranted.

As for whether he will do it after coming to power, it depends on his mood and how people from other forces treat him.

But alas,

Because his own number of fans is very limited, even if he gives a good speech, he can't impress a few people, and the increase in support for the polls is not obvious.

After the first round of impassioned speeches, Johnson Foster's approval rating dropped by 2 percentage points.

This is a fatal problem.

This was followed by the second and most exciting stage of the show, which was the debate between the six candidates.

Countless people who don't care about the future Grand Duke are waiting in front of the TV, waiting for this scene.

Lin Mo had also seen a lot of competitive documentaries before, but it was the first time he had seen six powerful middle-aged people break dirty water with each other on the scene.

And the studio hall is bigger than the scale on the Internet, and these competitors really can say anything.

You say that I was close to little girls in the early years, and I said that your son sucks.

Anyway, all kinds of black materials are flying all over the sky, and everyone argues very fiercely, and even almost fights.

However, such a lively debate round, which is also the easiest to attract the attention of voters, has nothing to do with Johnson Foster.

Because his approval rating is so low now that no one is interested in discussing him.

really answered that sentence,

77 years old this year, standing like a minion at the competition conference.

Even if Johnson Foster wanted to speak, the moderator wouldn't give him much of a chance.

At the same time, the results of the voting on the Internet are displayed in real time on the big screen.

Such a vote, while having no actual vote value, can go a long way in explaining the results of polls of contenders.

Not surprisingly, Ron DeSantis was outstanding, and Johnson Foster was completely reduced to a scrap, and even turned off the microphone by the host because he was too excited.

After a long three-hour debate, tonight's speaking program has officially come to an end.

The six candidates, who basically already knew their future results, walked off the stage with different expressions, ready to leave the TV station to make a final game for tomorrow's ballot.

Jonson Foster is still eligible to compete, but everyone knows that he no longer has any chances.

Just as he walked back to the dressing room in disheartenedness, about to leave the TV station that made him conservative and ashamed, his secretary came over and said respectfully, "President, there is a gentleman named Lin Chen, I hope to see you." ”
