Chapter 1165: Unexpected Reaction and Dissatisfaction

Ten minutes later, everyone returned to the conference room. Some people looked at Senator Cleveland with slightly curious eyes.

Just a moment ago, they were still discussing what Senator Cleveland had gone to do during those few minutes of rest. Perhaps he would have some way to deal with this matter.

People are always so strange and contradictory. When the Social Party was successively chosen by society, they, like the Liberal Party at this time, believed that it was indeed necessary to adjust the time of the general election, but also believed that it was a matter for the next president.

Only until this moment, when they couldn't get elected, did they think this was an urgent problem that needed to be solved.

Self-interest makes everyone choose an option that is harmless to themselves. If they can add a little trouble to their opponents, that would be even better.

But some people also thought that it was difficult for Senator Cleveland to change the current situation. The Liberal Party side performed very toughly, and they didn't give the Social Party side any chance at all.

This also made the Social Party members feel a deep dissatisfaction with these Liberal Party members. This dissatisfaction would accumulate in their emotions, accumulate in the contradictions between the parties, and would be released the next time the Social Party won the election.

Just like the actions of the Liberal Party members at this time, they were releasing these accumulated negative emotions. As long as it was supported by the Social Party, they would oppose it.

It had nothing to do with right or wrong; this is the most primitive contradiction of opposition and struggle between political parties. There is nothing good or bad about it; it is simply opposition!

The people in the room sat down again, and they began to discuss this matter again, and the smell of gunpowder rose in an instant.

This made every Liberal Party member feel very refreshed. That feeling was like... urine held for more than ten years was about to make the bladder explode, but at this moment they received the order to release the water, and in an instant, the relief of urinating like a waterfall crashing into the toilet!

The relief of something in the body constantly leaving oneself, making oneself completely relaxed instead of continuously tense!

Just when they were so refreshed that they were about to have a collective climax, Senator Cleveland suddenly made a sound. "Why don't we ask the person involved himself?"

"Maybe David has his own views on this matter?"

"After all, the change in the date of the general election ultimately directly affects the candidates. Our Social Party candidate won't have a problem, so why not ask David?"

This sentence made the people in the room quiet down for a moment. The Social Party senators looked at Senator Cleveland a bit incomprehensibly. They didn't quite understand why he had to mention Mr. Maple Yuan at this time.

How could he possibly agree to postpone the date of the general election, even if it was only postponed for about half a month.

Just as the Liberal Party members also thought so, if there was anyone who opposed postponing the general election more than them, it must be Mr. Maple Yuan himself.

A smile like looking at a fool appeared on each of their faces. In their eyes, Senator Cleveland had already shed his sacred halo.

Some people even whispered to those around them that Senator Cleveland had chosen the most stupid way to exit the competition for congressional power—

He was playing the fool, so he wouldn't be pushed to the "front line" of the power struggle.

Www. ttkдn. ￠O

But some people also frowned, because it was a bit wrong to take the initiative to ask the person involved to express their opinion at this time.

However, most Liberal Party members still thought there was no problem. Soon they brought the phone, turned on the speaker, and dialed Mr. Maple Yuan's number.

"I'm very sorry to disturb your rest at this time, but we were discussing a matter at a critical moment. We argued and couldn't stop, and we couldn't get a result that both sides were satisfied with."

"And this matter happens to have a direct relationship with you, so we are considering asking for your thoughts and will also respect your opinion. Your opinion will become our final decision!"

In order to avoid Mr. Maple Yuan not knowing what was happening, the representative of the Liberal Party in Congress spoke very solemnly. He almost wanted to tell Mr. Maple Yuan, you motherfucker listen to me, don't mess around!

Mr. Maple Yuan also gave a positive response on the phone. "If I can help you solve any problem, I will be honored by it."

"So, what is the problem?"

The Liberal Party senator said, "We are discussing whether to postpone the general election until after the Saint Agriculture Festival, that is, to start voting around the middle of November and get the results at the end of the month."

He didn't express his own thoughts or the other party's thoughts too much, just purely told Mr. Maple Yuan one thing: should the general election be postponed?

According to his understanding of Mr. Maple Yuan, Mr. Maple Yuan at this time should hold an opposing attitude.

Getting results a month early and getting results a month late, the power will only be transferred after the New Year next year. But one month early, one can more calmly handle the personnel arrangements of government departments, and there is more time to carry out some political transactions.

And putting it in November looks like the power can only be transferred next year, but with one month less, there are fewer things that can be done.

This is like a process of price comparison in the market. This person can give you a quote of one dollar for the power in your basket, but if you ask more people, maybe they will give you a quote of 1.5 or even two dollars, or maybe more.

So the more time, the more benefits for the president who has already won the election.

The nasal sound made by Mr. Maple Yuan when thinking came from the phone that was completely turned on speaker. He seemed to be indicating that he was thinking, which was why there was such a sound.

"It sounds like this proposal is very good. I have also been considering this matter recently. In the campaign propaganda these past few days, I found that fewer and fewer people are coming. Many of them have started to consider going home for the holiday."

"And because of the victory in the war this year, we will hold a grand festival. Maybe more people will have their energy tied up by the Saint Agriculture Festival, and the number of votes and the results might be different from what we predicted."

"In order to get a reasonable and legal general election result more accurately, if you ask for my opinion on this issue, then my opinion is..."

After a few seconds, his slightly low voice came. "I support this proposal."

In an instant, there was some uproar in the conference room. Many people on the Liberal Party side looked at the phone in disbelief, and the situation on the Social Party side was about the same. They couldn't believe why Mr. Maple Yuan would show a choice diametrically opposite to the Liberal Party side on this matter that was obviously not so friendly to him.

Some people looked at Senator Cleveland, who was sitting at the very front maintaining calmness and composure, with awe. Perhaps this matter had a direct relationship with him.

The representative on the Liberal Party side came back to his senses, and he asked again, "Are you sure you support postponing the general election?"

"Yes, this is a very good proposal. After the Saint Agriculture Festival ends, people return to their lives, and their attention will be focused on the general election. This way, the results will be more accurate for us, won't they?"

"Since we want to win, we must win beautifully, and we cannot give them some boring excuses to slander our fruits of victory!"

His meaning was probably that if the Social Party expressed doubt about the number of votes, for example, if a state could collect 7 or 8 million votes before, but only collected 3 or 4 million votes this time, they might demand a re-vote.

If such a demand occurred in a swing state favorable to the Liberal Party, it might trigger some unpredictable changes.

After all, people had just finished voting, and now they were told that their previous votes didn't count and they had to vote again.

Swing state voters are different from those in fixed-camp states. The voters here often have some freer spiritual characteristics. They could vote for Mr. Maple Yuan according to certain wills this time, but when they were asked to vote again, they might feel dissatisfied because of this, and thus vote for the Social Party candidate.

The reason why swing state voters and propaganda offensives are always the most important places is just this: you have to maintain a high-intensity campaign stickiness to the voters here, otherwise, who knows if they will retreat from fanaticism in the next second and then give you a punch.

Mr. Maple Yuan's statement didn't have any problems when analyzed from the perspective of reasoning, but... it was still a bit hard for people to accept.

But now he had enough reasons to support this proposal, and he himself was the next president, and also the core of the Liberal Party's rise plan. These people in the Liberal Party certainly had to support this president, rather than standing on his opposite side.

"I see, then this proposal...", the Liberal Party senator representative glanced at Senator Cleveland, who was sitting opposite him very steadily and couldn't see any joy or anger, and said, "Just do as you mean."

"I will visit you later."

"Then let's leave it at that for now, I won't disturb your rest."

"Goodbye."

"See you tonight."

After putting down the phone, the representative of the Liberal Party senator shook his head. He looked at Senator Cleveland with a smile that didn't taste like anything. "Very good means, Jeffrey."

Senator Cleveland looked at him as if he didn't understand. "This is not a question of means or not means. This is everyone's different understanding of politics and the country."

"Perhaps in your eyes, as long as you oppose us, it is correct, but in reality, we shouldn't bring emotions into work."

The words he said made the Liberal Party senator representative laugh in anger. "Let's not talk about this, let's move on to the next topic."

"There is not much time left for us!"

Yes, there is not much time left for them.

For the Liberal Party senators, in fact, the change in congressional seats is not entirely a good thing.

Before the Liberal Party got that position, they were always in a weak position, and some powerful political figures didn't intend to serve as congressmen.

After all, being in a disadvantageous position, they wouldn't be able to change any situation even if they came, and they would even be criticized within the party—

You are so powerful within the party, why were you suppressed by the Social Party people when you went to Congress?

Are you only capable of bullying within the nest?

This is a very bad point of view and opinion, and it can be said that almost everyone has such an attitude, which ultimately must affect the influence of these powerful politicians.

So they would only hold positions within the party, rather than in Congress.

Now the Liberal Party has begun to rise. After getting the presidential position, if they can get the majority party position in Congress, these powerful political figures within the party will "come out of the mountains" and enter Congress.

Then, a part of these Liberal Party senators now, one-third or even half or more, will retire from the position of senator in this change and return to the party to hold positions.

For them, although the Liberal Party won, their own good days are almost over.

The value of a senator and a non-senator in the entire federal interest system is completely different.

So before they lose this job full of glory and power, they must arrange their own affairs first.

For example, some of them have taken money from capitalists. It is unlikely that they will return this money to those capitalists, so the only thing they need to do now is to help these capitalists settle proposals that are favorable to them as soon as possible, or prevent certain proposals from passing.

Every general election is a strict screening for everyone in Congress. Although many people should have benefited from the general election, they ultimately lost their identity.

Soon the congressmen threw themselves into serious work again. This time the disagreement between them was not so serious. Everyone wanted to complete the transactions they promised as much as possible, so the efficiency and speed of the proposal passing could be called the best in this Congress!

At the same time, on the other side, Mr. Maple Yuan sat in a chair with a gloomy face. He should have been lying down to rest well for a while, to recharge his energy for the evening campaign activities.

But Senator Cleveland's call made him unable to sleep at all. He called his son and called him over.

Ten minutes later, Mr. Maple Yuan appeared in his office. When he walked to Mr. Maple Yuan's side, Mr. Maple Yuan reacted.

He glanced at his son and motioned for him to sit down. "Jeffrey just called me."

Mr. Maple Yuan lit a cigarette for himself very casually. "What did he call you for?"

Although he is not an important high-level official within the Liberal Party, he also knows who Jeffrey is, and has seen Senator Cleveland, and has talked to the other party.

"He asked me to agree to postpone the election, to postpone the election until after the Saint Agriculture Festival, that is, starting on the first day of the second week of November."

When hearing this sentence, Mr. Maple Yuan couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Did he forget to bring his brain when he went out this morning and left it at home?"

"How could such a thing be promised to him?"

But as he laughed, he couldn't laugh anymore, because his old man, Mr. Maple Yuan, was looking at him expressionlessly like that. He took a puff of his cigarette and frowned. "Did you agree?"

Mr. Maple Yuan nodded. "I couldn't refuse, because he knew about little Maple Yuan's matter. I suspect he might also know more content, and I can't be sure if he has evidence in his hands."

"So I want you to explain to me why he would know about this?"

Mr. Maple Yuan finally realized where the problem was.

He frowned tightly. "I have already dealt with that family, and now there is only one reporter who knows the truth, but my people lost him, and I am not sure where he is now."

"But he must still be in New Jincheng!"

"It is possible that he leaked this news to Senator Cleveland."

Mr. Maple Yuan nodded. "So now this is no longer a secret?"

"To be honest, I am satisfied with most of the things you do, but this time you made the most important thing look like this, making me unable to find anything to say that I am satisfied with."

"Immediately, go and deal with him. No matter what, I want you to deal with this fucking damned reporter before the Saint Agriculture Festival ends, and completely erase him from this world!"

As Mr. Maple Yuan spoke, his emotions became a bit agitated. Being held by others by his handle is indeed a very bad and very angry thing, not to mention that this person can be considered one of their Liberal Party's core political enemies.

He was breathing heavily. Mr. Maple Yuan could no longer sit still. He stood up. "I will go find him now. He will definitely leave some traces. It is impossible for him to just disappear like this."

"Wait a minute." Mr. Maple Yuan called him to a stop. After taking a few deep breaths, he said, "What are you doing?"

"You said you have already lost him. Wanting to find him in such a big city is simply joking with me. Luo Lan will come over later."

"Let him help you handle this case together, but don't let him know too much content."

Mr. Maple Yuan sat back on the sofa again. His expression had some subtle changes. "Does he have a problem?"

Mr. Maple Yuan nodded. "It's an indescribable feeling. In front of me, he is very soulful and very smart, but in dealing with Lans, he always stumbles. The feeling he gives me now is not very good."

"The Federal Bureau of Investigation is a very important position. I am not very at ease handing it to him."

Mr. Maple Yuan roughly understood his father's meaning. He nodded. "There are many black materials about him on the market now. When the time comes, I will find a way to let people continue to focus on hyping it up, forcing him to resign on his own initiative."

Mr. Maple Yuan nodded. This is what he wanted to say. He then asked, "Where is that bastard now?"

"At home, I have already grounded him."

The "bastard" they were talking about is naturally little Maple Yuan, who triggered this series of bad things. If it weren't for him killing a female companion in an unconscious state, they wouldn't be so passive now.

As for whether they would suspect that this might be a frame-up?

No, they have actually encountered such things, and more than once.

This time, taking action against the Perez family also had such a part of the reason in it. If they hadn't provided the Maple Kite Grass extract, little Maple Yuan might not have gotten high and then killed that girl!

This is the "anger born from the pain of the upper class." Ordinary people talking about the problem of Maple Kite Grass, no one will care, but when a big figure is hurt by it, it and everything connected to it must bear the fire from outside the sky!
