Two months passed in a flash. On November 4, 2008, the day after the first Monday in November, the general election of 2008 began.

Charlie, Samantha and Bella also voted at the polling place in Los Angeles.

As is customary, Charlie said two words that he was confident of winning the election, and didn't say much.

That night, the state votes were quickly counted.

Even if Benjamin Aisher has been canvassing votes non-stop in the past two months, even if human beings enter the interstellar era, and human beings first step out of the solar system, these great achievements are counted in his tenure, still can not cover up his domestic, diplomatic and military shortcomings. plate.

The people are very disappointed with this former war hero. They are tired of the explosions that will happen around them at no time. After Benjamin Aisher came to power, the number of people making wills has increased by 600 times compared with four years ago, from the age of eight to At eighty, everyone is making a will because you don't know when you're going to die.

Before going to work, many company employees told their families thousands of words, worrying that this time they left would be a goodbye.

The people urgently need a safe environment, even the New Yorkers who are like dragons, they don't want to sleep at home, suddenly a super gorilla falls from the world, and then tramples himself and his family into meat pie, now in American life is so insecure.

Charlie's nearly two decades as a police officer seemed to be more able to give everyone confidence, and this urgency naturally prevailed when it came to voting.

At 19:00 that night, according to the counting results, Charlie should have obtained more than 270 electoral votes, securing the victory in advance.

In the early morning of the next day, Benjamin Aisher also congratulated his opponent on his victory in a graceful manner in front of the White House lawn, and expressed his hope that Charlie's side would form a government team as soon as possible so that the two sides could hand over the work.

......

"Merry Christmas!"

"Merry Christmas!"

A group of well-dressed men and women gathered in the hall,

One side is celebrating Christmas, and the other side is using this occasion to express their joy.

The team represented by Charlie defeated the opponent. The vote on November 4 was a vote of voters. This result is almost impossible to reverse, but there will still be some unknown factors that will have an impact after the event. Only after the real presidential election, also It is the electoral vote held on the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December, and the result of that vote is the final result.

Bella researched for a long time in advance. It was Wednesday and Monday again. It was a bit funny for her to toss back and forth. It is estimated that many Americans do not know the specific day to vote. Anyway, electoral voting has nothing to do with ordinary voters. They don't have to care, but anyway, the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December 2008 is December 15th, and the electoral vote on this day is considered a complete lock in victory.

There was no surprise in the results of the electoral vote. Charlie was successfully elected. As long as he is sworn in on January 20 next year, he can go to work in the White House.

After hearing the news of the victory, organize everyone to come together immediately, hi? This is not in line with the "decency" of many elites. Everyone is quite reserved, and they endured it for ten days, until Christmas, and then organized a Christmas ball with a merit-based reward according to the usual practice.

Bella and his family were all present. They originally wanted to keep their two children at home, but now their family has become the focus of the country. What if any terrorists want to take the risk? Children are prone to accidents when they stay at home. Even if there is no accident, the scene of the Sakura Dragon Hornet punching out the terrorist's shit is not easy to explain when seen by the outside world. Simply, take it all with you.

The on-site security was extremely high. The agents of the Federal Secret Service came out in full force. John Reese, who was in charge of Charlie's security, constantly deployed manpower and deployed layers of defense at all the entrances of the building.

This kind of protection is still necessary. Bella's ability is so large that she can write three pages of paper at once. It is indeed strong. The problem is that the enemy does not know! Instead of letting her take action after the fact, it is better to prevent it in advance.

Bella was wearing a sequined suspender dress and holding a Saint Laurent handbag. From time to time, she chatted with the men and women she knew.

The old party whip, Francis Underwood, who contributed a lot to Charlie's campaign, came over with his wife and chatted casually. His wife soon went to talk to another congressman's wife, and the old party whip lowered his voice, some asked nervously.

"I heard that Mr. President is going to keep me in Congress? Who are you going to have Secretary of State?"

Bella was stunned for a moment, and then she burst into laughter.

The old party whip knew about Bella's throwing a bunch of 'social elites' into the Potomac River, at least a small part of it, and now he dares to ask questions, obviously he is angry, or he In my heart, the position of the secretary of state is more important than life.

"I don't know about it, where did you get the news?" she asked.

The old party whip looked to the other side of the banquet, where stood a middle-aged Latino woman who was staring at the moon.

"Linda Vasquez, I recommended this woman to be the chief of staff of the campaign team. Do you still have an impression? Now there are rumors that Mr. President is going to appoint her to be the secretary of state. Does this seem inappropriate? "

Bella glanced at the Latino woman. This woman fits some of Charlie's campaign platforms. An unmarried mother, a Latino, is more in line with the wishes of voters than a mediocre white politician like the old party whip.

This woman named Linda Vasquez is actually very powerful. She has a prestigious school education and political experience. She also has buffs such as women, Latinos, and single mothers on her body. People are sympathetic, and it is a combination of strength and softness in the political circle. She is not satisfied with being a chief of staff, and it is not surprising that she takes a fancy to the position of secretary of state.

Bella doesn't want any woman around Charlie to affect her family harmony, and she doesn't think Charlie needs to rely on political correctness to please voters. There are so many things in the future, so let's find a few assistants who can do things and have IQ.

She didn't play the secretive way, she directly gave the old party whip a positive answer: "The rumors are just rumors, the position of the Secretary of State is still yours, I suggest that you better prepare immediately, the task of the Secretary of State is very heavy, before and The relationship between the allies is extremely poor, and you need to remedy that."
