Chapter 1018 Standing in Arms

"Let me tell you that if I am liquidated when my term of office is up, then you guys here should not expect to run away. I will clean you up before I do it!"

Old Dong issued this final warning to his staff and his confidant senior officials.

The general election is coming soon, but his approval rating is not optimistic. The position of the president is the highest leader in a country, with incomparable power and prestige.

But at the same time, the president is also a high-risk occupation in many countries.

Of course, the president here is generally pretty good. After leaving office, I either write a memoir, or an autobiography, or raise horses, or appear on variety shows and survival masters and so on.

But there are always exceptions to everything. For example, Old Dong, he had too many events during his term of office.

A lot of money has been invested in the New Eden Project in China, but the final result is not satisfactory. Not only the entire military base was destroyed, thousands of soldiers were killed or disappeared. And the core equipment of the most important gate to another world was also stolen.

Old Dong came to power with a very low public support rate, relying on the support of the capitalists. Because Lao Dong himself is also a capitalist. The capitalists hope that he can bring more benefits to the capitalists.

When they started the New Eden Project together, Old Dong asked many capitalists to invest in this project. There are a large number of private capital forces involved. After all, this is a huge project with an investment of nearly 100 billion U.S. dollars. Without the support of private capital, it would be impossible for Congress to pass such a huge plan.

It can be said that many big capitalists have invested billions of dollars, or even tens of billions of dollars, in this plan.

The New Eden Project has been a complete failure, at least so far, and it has fallen into the sand. Project failure requires someone to be responsible, and someone needs to take care of it.

The money of the capitalists is not easy to get, and Lao Dong is well aware of all this. Those bloodthirsty beasts were watching him, and if he stepped down, they could tear themselves to shreds by any non-violent means.

Someone has even sent word directly that he needs to be held accountable for the tens of billions of dollars lost.

This is impossible. Although Lao Dong is worth a lot, no businessman in the world can directly take out the tens of billions of dollars in cash.

So he reached an agreement with the capitalists who supported New Eden at the beginning. He will be the boss again and use the method of promulgating favorable policies to create higher returns for the capitalists.

The capitalists behind him chose to believe him again after careful consideration. After all, there is no benefit in dealing with him. What capital wants is money and benefits.

However, they still have doubts about Lao Dao's guarantee. After all, when he came to power, he promised a group of capitalists that he would make the country strong again. And let the manufacturing industry return, let the country's financial industry and industry develop simultaneously, and make the country's economy better and better.

But that doesn't seem to be the case recently.

Recently, the suspicion of those capitalists has become more and more serious.

Washington was attacked by visitors from another world. Parts of the Hexagon Building were destroyed, and the White House was almost completely destroyed. The army was slow to react, and in the end an unknown masked hero came to the rescue.

This has led to a strong sense of crisis among the people throughout the country.

After the destruction of Washington, the stock market has melted four times in a week, and tens of billions of dollars have evaporated. In contrast, various riots broke out across the country, and the law and order rate plummeted all the way. Sales of firearms increased by 400 percent over the same period.

And there has been a large number of people hoarding food across the country.

A large number of people are hiding in the basement, they believe that the door to the other world will open, and all kinds of monsters from the other world will come out to kill people. Now that the government is no longer trustworthy, they can only believe in robbery.

And an organization that was very popular in the country before: the National Mutual Aid Association for Fighting Zombies, and now it has officially changed its name to: the National Mutual Aid Association for Fighting Alien Monsters. And in just a few months, the number of members has grown from more than 3,000 at the beginning to more than 500,000 members nationwide.

Lao Dao's approval rating has been falling all the way, and no one is counting on him anymore.

Now capitalists are also watching. If Lao Dao cannot be re-elected, then they must prepare how to divide Lao Dao's property reasonably. After all, he is also a well-known rich man in the whole country, with a lot of property. If you eat all of it, there will be some supplements.

Lao Dao has some feelings about all this. He could feel that those bloodthirsty beasts were already eyeing him. So in the general election a few months later, he cannot be re-elected.

Once he fails, the opposition party will liquidate the fall of Washington when it comes to power, and will hold the shit bowl on his head. In the New Eden Project, thousands of people disappeared and died at one time, and I am afraid that his successor will not cover him up by then.

And the most frightening thing is that if he loses this position, then he can't even guarantee the safety of his own property and life.

The old man saw all this clearly.

"I must be re-elected, and everyone here is very aware of all this. If I fail to be re-elected, then I will fall to the bottom. And I am afraid that you will not have good fruit. We need to immediately divert domestic conflicts and attention."

"Don't worry, sir, we have mobilized all the media and sent them to the hive. This time we will first stir up their internal conflicts." The chief of staff followed the president's words.

"We must first gain an advantage in the public opinion position, and then provoke their multilateral frictions. They have a lot of frictions on the ocean and on the border. Now with our support, they will inevitably want to take a piece of the action. Tang. The friction in many aspects will make them overwhelmed, and there will always be flaws. At that time, we can deal them a fatal blow."

"Especially to stir up the conflict between the returnees in their country and those who have awakened their abilities. As long as this can be done, then everything that follows will be easy to deal with."

The chief of staff turned on the TV while speaking: "Your Excellency, our news media has started a global live broadcast. This time we will completely defeat them in the war of public opinion!"

……………………

"Crush us in the war of public opinion?"

Inside the hive, Zhang Tong is trying on the traditional costumes for the evening wedding. Zhang Tong and Jiang Hua have discussed that their wedding will be a traditional Chinese wedding.

Zhang Tong is wearing an improved Hanfu, which not only has fairy air and wide sleeves, but also facilitates daily activities.

After getting dressed, he said to Huang Gang who brought him the news: "Are you serious? Those foreign friends have already started to attack us in international public opinion?"

"Isn't it? I just said that your wedding has already attracted a lot of attention because it's too big. They will try their best to push the shit pot on Jiang Hua's head. Then they will use her as a breakthrough, Provoking social conflicts. There are also social conflicts among various returnees and those who have awakened their abilities."

"The guy on the other side of the ocean now, he's under too much pressure for re-election. He's a politician, and for him his personal interests far outweigh the national interests. I'm not sure what he would do to protect himself Such a decision."

Huang Gang said these words, but Zhang Tong smiled lightly: "So that's the case. Conflicts can be resolved with greater interests. Do we have reporters here?"

"Of course, this is an international public opinion war, and it is naturally arranged here. But what do you mean by resolution?"

"You'll know when the time comes." Zhang Tong paid off, but called Gao Xiaomin and Qin Kuairen and said to them respectively: "Yes, the new product will be released today. Well, the global With so much attention, this is the best advertisement."

By the way, he also notified Li Lianlong: "Xiao Li, you are about to go out. Yes, bring out all the apprentices you trained. If someone wants to provoke conflicts, then we can only fight back. Tell those Guys, what the hell do we have?"

At the same time, the "Free World" media has started a global live broadcast on the hive side.

In Fu Changqing's room, someone came to ask Fu Changqing: "Old Fu, do we really not want to stop it?"

"Stop it? Is it useful to stop it? The person on the other side is going crazy. What we can do is not to accompany him to go crazy, and send him to the madhouse. Besides, Jiang Hua and Zhang Tong here are well prepared."

By the French windows on the 27th floor of Zijin Villa Hotel, Fu Changqing stared out of the window. In his line of sight, he could already see groups of returnees and power awakeners starting to take to the streets.

There was no chaos, no riots, neat and orderly, and some people even held unopened banners in their hands.

A smile appeared on Fu Changqing's face.
