1271 Don’t Be Lazy because of the Cold Weather

Snowflakes fell in the sky covered by dark clouds, each one as big as a goose feather.

This level of heavy snow is rare in Gefra. There are almost no pedestrians on the road. Occasionally, one or two cars will pass by on the road, and the speed will be very slow.

The slippery surface challenged the driver's skills, as did the occasional stiff corpse on the roadside.

This is true everywhere, there are good sides and bad sides.

Sometimes it's like heaven, sometimes it's like hell!

Behind the windows that were obscured by water droplets condensed by water vapor, this winter for most Gefra people was not much different from the past.

Occasionally...some people feel the cold.

Occasionally...some people don't have enough to fill their stomachs.

The negotiations between the Gaevra government and the Federation on food have entered the final stage. At the same time, the Federation has once again proved that it has a dominant position in the face of Gaevra, an empire that has stepped on the accelerator on the downhill road.

Gaevra contacted some other member countries of the World Development Council, but unfortunately, these member countries refused to sell food to Gaevra for various reasons.

Some people say it very euphemistically, such as saying that there is not enough food in their own country.

Some people's words were not so tactful. For example, they said that they had to sit down and talk with the federal people about this matter first.

sit down?

Talk about it?

This talk will almost slip to the beginning of next spring. By then, we don’t know how many people will starve to death, and how many people will curse the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister’s cabinet in the cold and hunger.

In the end, Gaevra decided to exchange four complete special alloy formulas, two important technical drawings of battleships, and some minor conditions for the opportunity to purchase federal food.

Yes, these things that can be said to be a manifestation of national strength are not directly exchanged for food with the federal people, but are exchanged for the permission of the federation and the World Development Council to import food to Gaevra.

He was very angry. When he made the final decision, the Prime Minister was angry inside. Looking at Lynch, who was less than five meters away from him in a straight line, he wanted to walk over and punch this guy on the bridge of the nose!

This also made him realize urgently that Gaevra was really no longer the Gaevra he used to be.

Although people verbally express their awe for Gaevra, in actual actions, you can't find how much awe they have!

Because of the Federation, because of that naval battle, and because of the advancement of the Federation's military technology in the past few years, Gaevra gradually lost its international status, so much so that almost all the losers in the past sided with the Federation.

If the adult society is very realistic, then the international society is a more realistic and pure interest relationship.

Everyone will follow whoever can offer benefits.

The negotiations were completely concluded in the first week of December. The people of Gefra knew that the federal food would arrive at various ports in Gefra in four or five days, and their anxious mood was greatly relieved.

Of course, more importantly, Mr. President's emotions have also been satisfied.

"Thank you very much for helping me, Mr. President."

"If you haven't been in my shoes, you won't understand how grateful I am to the people of the Commonwealth for their help."

"May the friendship between our two countries shine forever like gold and never fade..."

After the negotiations were concluded, the Prime Minister made a phone call to the President. He used "golden friendship" to describe the friendly relationship between Gaevra and the Federation.

In addition, he did say a word of thanks, which made the president very happy. He has been very happy since he answered the phone.

He even arranged for several reporters who were comparable to the top agents of the Security Council and the Military Intelligence Bureau to obtain a copy of the audio tape of this call in some incredible way.

Of course it is a copy, because the original will be kept by the President himself.

When the state election was over in a few days, he decided to jump out and steal the governors' glorious moment, so that the eyes of the country would focus on him.

After all, he was the first one in history who made the ruler of Gefra bow to him. Don't care whether it was a bow or not, as long as it could be considered a bow, that's fine!

This also makes the President feel particularly energetic when bowling!

Originally, he would take a break after playing two games, but today, he played three full games.

"You seem to be very excited today!" Chris said casually after finishing her work to help Mr. President clean up.

She could clearly feel the initiative shown by Mr. President in today's game. He would hardly show such initiative before, but she felt it today.

She didn't expect that an old man could have such good physical strength. He could finish three rounds of bowling and still sit calmly without panting. This was amazing!

And his barely concealed genuine smile throughout the process made Chris realize that something good had happened to him.

Mr. President will not hide it, because soon everyone will know about it. Those reporters will sell the video tapes they obtained to the TV station, and then the TV station will broadcast it in line with the attitude of press freedom.

By then everyone in the federation and even the world will know about this. Gefra, the current de facto supreme ruler and the prime minister of the empire, thanked him on the phone for everything he, the president of the federation, has done.

There is nothing more joyful than this!

"Don't you think this is very exciting?" Mr. President looked down at Chris, who was speechless. After all, people can't do two things at the same time, so they can only nod instead.

He quickly seemed to think of something, "Have your husband's affairs been adjusted?"

Just when Chris was about to speak, she was pushed back by a hand, and Mr. President continued, "It doesn't matter, I have already discussed this matter with someone in private."

"Your husband's reputation in the judicial department is not very good. Someone told me that as long as I give him money, he will make a trial result that favors one side. Now that we are in power, some people want him to go."

"The idea of ​​being a judge in our own state is a bit reluctant. We should go as we agreed before, first go to the Ministry of Justice to do clerical work, and then find a way to move to the front line..."

It’s not that Mr. President has done nothing. Chrissy’s husband’s reputation in the system is indeed not very good, and since he is a member of the conservative party, he can only criticize her, not praise her.

But one very special thing is that Chrissy’s husband is currently a justice of the state court. Mr. President can completely “take” him and throw him into a position that looks noble but has no actual work content, and then Give the state judgeship to your own people.

In this way, no one will say anything. By doing this, he is safeguarding the Progressive Party’s ability to speak out within the party, and with the real power of the judge in his own hands, no one will think that there is a behind-the-scenes deal in this thing.

If someone really thinks that way, it can only be said that there is something wrong with this person's brain. After all, there are only a handful of people who can think of someone paying someone to torment themselves.

As the end of the year gets closer and closer, the atmosphere for the state election becomes more and more intense, and even many campaign posters are posted on the streets of Bupen.

Expanding influence is what every candidate must do at this time.

The same is true for Ms. Tracy. Even if there is no strong competitor, she must devote herself to it.

The reason why swing states are swing states is that there is a saying that may be closer to the real situation, that is, swing states lack large group companies and monopoly consortiums.

Therefore, voters' votes are more liberal, and they will not have a clear position like those vote-basket states.

Speaking of a clear political stance, in layman's terms it means that more capitalists support a certain party.

The capitalists' ability to control votes is still very good. These states are basically in some developed areas or have some pillar local industries.

In order to ensure that their local investments are not damaged and that their status is not shaken, capitalists increasingly need to have spokespersons for their own political interests.

That's why they will try their best to support certain people to win the election. Their method is also very simple, which is to use jobs and wages to kidnap voters.

There is no such large monopoly group in swing states, so there is no camp among voters. This also means that everyone has a chance. It does not mean that having an advantage in the polls is enough. This is not acceptable.

In the history of state elections in swing states, there have been many upset miracles. This is not surprising. Perhaps these states truly represent the meaning and value of direct elections, and are truly undisturbed public opinion.

I don’t know that Ms. Tracey is working hard, and the governor of York State is also working hard. By the way, Catherine has appeared in front of the media more often in recent times.

Many people know her from the time she was an intern at the Presidential Palace. Later, she participated in feminist movements with Ms. Tracey. After a period of silence, she became active in the media again.

Only this time, she is not an intern in the presidential palace or someone's follower, but a city councilor who advocates education reform.

The new university being established in York State is the best proof. There is no high threshold for admission. Anyone can enter this university as long as their grades meet the standards.

This is simply a miracle in life for those who are willing to go to college. The governor also wants to take advantage of such good news and use the name of a pioneering state in education reform to get re-elected!

To ensure this, he always took Catherine with him and always designated education reform as the main work plan of the state government in the next two years!

This may be the best era for all Federation people, because they have witnessed and participated in the entire process of the rise of the Federation.

Everyone is working hard, struggling hard, and moving forward.

Everyone is struggling, starting with the president, to a homeless man collecting scraps on the side of the road.

Struggle is the real core of this society!

If you want to realize the federal dream, you have to fight!
