Chapter 1304 Xia Yu Falls

The latest website: Everyone is smart, so Barlow Pierce didn't intend to waste time in detours.

After getting to know each other, he went straight to the topic: "Chretien, you know our purpose, so let's start now."

"The current situation is extremely unfavorable for the Liberal Party, otherwise Prime Minister Pierre would not have decided to resign a year before the election."

"The unemployment rate that remains high and ranks first in all developed countries, the high fiscal deficit and national debt, and the ethnic conflict in Quebec, the power of any of these is astonishing, but all of them have appeared now."

"Now Canada is like a volcano about to erupt. Pierre can't hold it back. The consequence of his strong confrontation is to make the people more disgusted and disgusted with the Liberal Party, and it will destroy the future of the Liberal Party."

"So he chose to take responsibility, take the responsibility on himself, and leave more opportunities for the Liberal Party."

Joseph Chretien nodded in agreement.

As Pierre's cabinet member and energy minister, he knew very well that what Barlow Pierce said was the truth, so he maintained enough respect for Pierre.

No matter how the outside world evaluates Pierre, as the leader of the Liberal Party, Pierre is very good and competent.

Not everyone has the determination and mind of Pierre.

After all, according to normal procedures, the general election will be held next year.

The position of Prime Minister of Canada is held by the leader of the majority party in Congress.

Pierre resigned as leader of the Liberal Party of Canada, and naturally he would also resign as Prime Minister.

So this time, whoever can become the leader of the Canadian Liberal Party will be able to succeed Pierre as Prime Minister until the next election.

Although the term is shorter than the normal term, it is still the prime minister, isn't it?

"Barlow, Prime Minister Pierre is a charismatic leader, and I have always made him the object of my political life."

Joseph Chretien commented.

"Yes.

"

Barlow Pierce smiled, and then continued: "But Chretien, if you want to be prime minister, your current strength is not enough."

"The current situation is extremely unfavorable for the Liberals, and the Progressive Conservatives have a better chance of winning the next general election until the wind is reversed."

"However, at this time, we will postpone the matter for the time being."

"The most important thing at the moment is that if you are successful as the leader of the Liberal Party, then you can directly become the Prime Minister of the cabinet, occupy a certain degree of initiative, and you can bring the tilted balance back a little bit."

"The pattern in the Liberal Party is still relatively chaotic. Twelve people have expressed their ideas on the surface, and there will be more to come. John Napier Turner and Ms. Iona Companello have already led the way. , more than ten years of political career has accumulated a certain network of contacts for you, but it is worse than John Napier Turner, and you also have shortcomings in resources, so you need enough helpers and resources."

Joseph Chretien did not deny it, and admitted frankly: "Barlow, you are right, I don't have an advantage now."

"Then why did you choose to cooperate with me?"

Barlow Pierce said with a smile: "Chretien, don't mind, in fact, you are only one of the objects of our cooperative inspection."

"John Pinel Turner and Iona Campagnolo have enough advantages, but they don't need our help urgently."

"And we are very well prepared. We already have the skeleton of the campaign team and have made a rigorous campaign plan. The most important thing is that we have the confidence to compete with any party in terms of resources, including the consortium behind Mulroney and the others. ."

Joseph Chretien shrank his pupils, looked at Barlow Pierce for a long time, and solemnly reminded: "Barlow, behind Mulroney are the Rothier family and other banking consortia."

"Of course I know!"

Barlow Pierce smiled sternly.

Joseph Chretien's mind was in a mess, and his emphasis on Barlow Pierce and others was raised to the highest level.

He took a deep breath, squeezed out a smile, and asked tentatively jokingly: "I suddenly became curious about what kind of monsters we are collaborating with. As far as I know, the consortium that can directly wrestle with the Roshir family is able to join forces. not much."

"Rockefeller? Morgan?"

Barlow Pierce smiled and shook his head and said, "In this world, Rockefeller and Morgan are not the only ones who can take care of the Roshir family. You must know that more than a year ago, the Roshir family lost once in old Europe. I'm still licking the wound."

"Although the Rothschild family is a hegemonic presence in Canada, Canada belongs to the Commonwealth of Nations, and in the Commonwealth, they cannot do whatever they want."

"Like Canada now, the media power controlled by the Rothier family is not the first."

Joseph Cretty was shocked, and the smile on his face became bright: "Yes."

Barlow Pierce's last sentence has actually revealed the existence of the forces behind it.

As far as he knows, the largest print media market in Canada is the Mirror Group.

The Mirror Group is a subsidiary of the British Mirror Group. The parent company of the British Mirror Group is the prestigious Bright Fund. This is a newly emerging consortium with top-notch strength.

Whether the Bright Foundation has the ability to confront the Rothschild family, the Morgan family and the Rockefeller family head-on, he doesn't know, but this is definitely the most powerful consortium that he is willing to support him for so many years in politics.

At the very least, in this campaign, he will turn to the Bright Fund. He will have no shortcomings in terms of media and funding. He will be stronger than John Napier Turner and Iona Compagnoro, and even have Rooted in Mulroney's confidence.

Moreover, he also thought of something very important.

Barlow Pierce just vaguely told him that the Bright Fund exists, but he didn't say whether it was the only supporter, if...

Thinking of this, Joseph Chretien's heart jumped, and he even vaguely felt that his paralyzed left face twitched a few times.

But soon he calmed down, and his brain worked frantically.

Barlow Pierce just said that he was only one of the partners he was considering. He was not sure if the other party was lying to him, but he would rather believe it was not.

After all, he does not currently have an advantage. With the strength behind Barlow Pierce and others, it is entirely possible to choose someone who is the same as him, or even better than him.

Barlow Pierce and others have options, but at the moment he has no choice, this is the best chance.

Just then, Joseph Chretien felt his hand being held, and he turned his head to see that his wife was looking at him with eyes of encouragement and trust.

Joseph Cretty rested assured, caressed his wife's hand, then looked at Barlow Pierce solemnly, and said, "Barlow, thank you for choosing me, I believe we can cooperate happily in the future."

Barlow Pierce laughed: "Of course, it has to be."

Then, the two stood up and clasped their hands together.

"Clap clap clap..."

Gars Victor, who has always been a transparent person, applauded.

"I think I need some champagne now."

Joseph Chretien's wife, Erin Charney, got up and said.

"Yes, dear, please go and get it."

Joseph Chretien said to his wife tenderly.

...

After a brief celebration, Erin Charney cleared the table and gave the space to her husband and partner as she went upstairs.

"Let's have a good discussion about how to make you successfully elected as the party leader. This is our preliminary plan. You can take a look first..."

PS: I will update tonight. I will sort out the important cooperation trends. I need to check a lot of information.
