Since late November, the general election of the Eagle Sauce has begun.
At the beginning of the election, the situation was relatively favorable for President Harding, because the first to open the votes were the iron votes of his party. Even if the people here didn’t like him, they had to vote for him because he was the only choice.
This made President Harding achieve good results at the beginning.
He overwhelmed his competitor, a sick and inexperienced guy from the Mingzhu Party, and took the lead!
After hearing the news, President Harding opened champagne in the White House to celebrate, as if he had won the election.
However, the director who was responsible for his campaign around President Harding felt very bad. In their iron votes, the number of votes they received dropped significantly, which showed that many people did not support President Harding, so they did not vote!
Although President Harding won the election in these states, according to the election system of the Eagle Sauce, they did not compete for votes. As long as they got more votes than their opponents in a state, they could win all the votes in that state.
However, this is still a bad phenomenon, because there are many iron vote banks of the Mingzhu Party in the United States, and President Harding can’t expect to win in these places.
The most important thing is that in some swing states between the two parties, whoever can get the support of these swing states in previous elections can finally win and enter the White House.
At this time, President Harding can’t get the support of all Republican voters in his iron vote bank, let alone these swing states?
Once his votes in the swing states are not ideal, the result will definitely be that his opponent will win and take all the votes in the swing states!
This makes President Harding’s campaign team very worried. Their opponents are indeed not well-known, or even have no reputation. Compared with President Harding, the other party’s qualifications are much shallower, and even not as famous as Hu who was defeated by President Harding!
However, the other party keeps giving speeches everywhere, promoting his political ideas and governing policies, and has come up with many policies to solve the economic crisis, which makes people everywhere have higher and higher expectations of him.
If this continues, I am afraid that the situation will become more and more unfavorable to President Harding!
The campaign team’s prediction was very accurate!
In the next few swing states, President Harding began to fall behind. He lost the elections in four swing states in succession and lost 65 votes!
In the subsequent elections in the coastal states of the Western Pacific region of the Mingzhu Party, President Harding was defeated again. This time he lost 123 votes.
His opponent’s votes had exceeded 200 votes. If he could get 70 more votes, then he would win the election this time!
All the pressure was back on President Harding!
At this time, President Harding was completely panicked!
The votes that were about to be counted were in several redneck states and the Mingzhu Party’s strongholds on the east coast. One of these two places was the base camp of the Republican Party, and the other was the base of the Mingzhu Party. There was no surprise in the results of the votes. Both sides got the votes they deserved!
But, unfortunately, Roosevelt’s total votes had reached 253 votes. He was 20 votes short and he could have announced the victory of the election! On
December 11, 192, Gotham City began to count votes!
This state has 35 electoral votes. If these votes go to the Mingzhu Party, then no matter what the election results of the next six states are, they can declare victory in the election and officially become the next president!
On this day, the eyes of the whole Eagle Sauce and even the whole world are on Gotham City, because the votes here will determine the ownership of the Eagle Sauce President.
Not only are more than 100 million people in the Eagle Sauce country concerned about the voting results here, but also the European sun never sets, only half of Gaul is left, Hans, who is advancing on the battlefield and is also an ally of the Eagle Sauce, and the bear who is practicing in seclusion, as well as the Celestial Empire in the Far East, which is in the process of civil war, and the foot basin that is invading the Celestial Empire, are all paying attention to this election!
As the country with the strongest industrial strength and the first economic strength in the world, the election of the Eagle Sauce will greatly affect the pattern and direction of the entire world!
In Gotham City, all the two candidates participating in the election have arrived here, ready to witness this historic moment.
Roosevelt and his wife, as soon as they checked into the Hilton Hotel, immediately became the focus of reporters from all over the United States and even the world!
“Mr. Roosevelt, what do you think of the war that is happening in Europe?”
The reporter who asked the question was from Europe, so he was most concerned about the world war that was breaking out in Europe!
“I have been following this war. This war has brought a huge threat to world peace and involved tens of millions of innocent civilians in Europe in a catastrophe. Therefore, I firmly oppose war and call on all countries to restore peace, resolve bilateral conflicts and contradictions as soon as possible, and resolve differences through negotiation and dialogue, rather than resorting to force!”
This answer made the British man’s eyes light up. He felt that he seemed to have heard the dissatisfaction of the next popular candidate for the Eagle Sauce President with Hans!
This war was provoked by Hans, and the symbol was Hans’ invasion of Poland, so Hans must be blamed for destroying world peace.
Since Roosevelt clearly stated his anti-war attitude, doesn’t it mean that he is disgusted with Hans who provoked the war?
If so, can we make a fuss from this point to provoke the relationship between the Eagle Sauce and Hans?
So he immediately asked a question:
“Mr. Roosevelt, I heard that you mentioned the alliance between the Eagle Sauce and Hans in your campaign speech. You seemed to have promised to reconsider the alliance after taking office. What does this mean? Do you want to end the alliance with Hans?”
Roosevelt frowned and looked up at the reporter.
The reporter did not lie. He did say such words when he was canvassing for votes in a state, but his attitude was vague and he did not say it so directly. However, the reporter from the British Sun asked him right away if he wanted to terminate the alliance with Hans. This was obviously not well-intentioned!
So he said with a serious expression:”The alliance between the two countries is a very important matter. I don’t know the content of the alliance yet, but I will evaluate and examine the alliance with any country based on the needs of our country’s interests. Hans has a good relationship with our country. I personally have no ill will towards Hans. After I take office, I will give priority to visiting Hans and discuss the interests of common concern to the two countries with President Mainz!”
This answer obviously did not satisfy the British government, because Roosevelt did not express any hostility towards Hans, and even revealed his intention to visit Hans first after taking office.
Doesn’t this mean that he attaches great importance to Hans? The fact that two foreign reporters were given the right to ask questions in a row made the British government’s own reporters quite dissatisfied, so they worked together to squeeze the foreign reporters outside, occupying the best positions and not giving them the opportunity to ask questions!
“Mr. Roosevelt, in this election, tens of millions of unemployed workers across the country stood up and voted for you. Do you have the confidence to fulfill your promise to them and help them and their families out of their difficulties?”It involves the issue of the domestic economic crisis in the United States, which is the issue that the people of the United States are most concerned about at present.
“Of course, after I take office, I will seek economic stimulus policies to reduce the national unemployment rate to below 5% within five years, so that workers can find jobs, children can go back to school, and all families will no longer go hungry!”
These words were sonorous and powerful, and immediately won the applause of the Eagle Sauce people at the scene!
But in the applause, there was a hint of discord:
“Mr. Roosevelt, during World War I, we were allies with the British Empire and Gaul. Now these two former allies are under attack. After you take office, will you ally with our country like your predecessor, President Will?……”
Before the reporter could finish his words, the angry reporters snatched the megaphone from his hand and punched him.
