Chapter 504 Lobbying(2/6)
Gackles sighed and explained.
"It's even better than the lady. To put it bluntly, the competition is about connections, relationships, and money. The main power of the lady is to hold elite troops and weapons, which can't provide many votes. Unless you want to use force, it's meaningless."
"this"
"There are also ladies who rarely show up in public, and they are not good at socializing, so they will not deliberately manage these things. But Long Chen is different. Don't underestimate him. As the first weapon dealer in the Federation, he needs money and relationships. The most important thing is that he is much older than Long Bai, and he is hundreds of years old. In other words, before Long Bai was born, he began to recruit people. In the past few hundred years, no one knows how he managed his relationship network through marriage, money and power. Maybe whoever is around us will have something to do with him!"
"What should I do?"
Ferion's head hurts when he hears it.
Deputy City Lord Okens also said helplessly.
"Oh, what else can we do? Of course, we have found a way to canvass votes. The Federation has a total of 12,000 valid seats, most of which are in the hands of administrative officials in the top ten planets, and part of them are in the hands of the military! In layman's terms, all the votes are basically divided. If the three brothers and sisters of Longying join forces, we will definitely not be able to compete with each other, unless we can persuade the City of Sky and the City of Rain to withdraw and support Lord Long Bai, so that we can win with confidence."
"This is probably a bit difficult? The character of the City Lord Fallon will definitely not quit the election. What about City Lord Alicia? By the way, Su Ming, you are not a good relationship with her. When I was on the Gray Fog today, I saw her talking and laughing with you. Why don't you persuade City Lord Alicia?"
Ferion looked at Su Ming with anticipation and said.
When Su Ming heard Ferion's words, his face turned dark. This guy really didn't open any pot and then said angrily.
"Old Fei, I don't have such a big face. I asked Lord Alicia to withdraw from the election and voted for Lord Long Bai. That's the president of the parliament."
"Others can't do it, maybe you can do it, you just sacrificed for Lord Long Bai."
Ferion was halfway through his words, and when he saw Long Bai looking at him coldly, he quickly closed his mouth.
For a moment, everyone fell into silence and the whole office became quiet.
At this time, Gackles sighed and said to Long Bai.
"Miss, leave the votes to me, and I will do everything I can to fight for."
"good."
Long Bai nodded slightly and replied.
"I will try my best to help canvass votes."
Su Ming said in a deep voice.
"Well, the matter is finalized, let's hurry up and act!"
Gackles said to Su Ming and others.
"yes!"
Su Ming and others nodded in response.
——
Three days later, Sin City, Interstellar Airport.
The Star Destroyer Tianlan slowly landed on the designated parking space.
Dragon Shadow boarded the Star Destroyer, and a soldier saluted respectfully along the way and greeted him.
"Lord Longying!"
Long Ying walked straight in and soon arrived in a luxurious hall.
I saw Long Chen and Long Lan sitting on luxurious chairs.
Dragon Shadow walked straight over and sat down.
Click!
The door of the hall was closed, and there was no one here except the three of them.
"Okay, everyone is here, let's discuss the election."
Long Chen said in a deep voice.
"good."
Long Ying and Long Lan nodded seriously and responded.
"If there is no surprise in this election, our biggest competitor is Long Bai. Although Long Bai is not very good at managing his connections, he does not have many tickets except those of the military headquarters. But Gackles is determined to support her. If the three brothers and sisters cannot unite, then there is no chance of winning at all. You must know that Gackles has been sitting in the position of the Lord of Starlight City for so many years, and it is not for nothing!"
Long Chen said in a deep voice.
"Third brother, you're just talking about this. We are brothers. When Long Lan and I went to find you, we had already made it clear. As long as you are willing to stand up for the Long family, I will definitely support you to take office unconditionally. You are the orthodox successor of the Long family! You should have been the position of President of the Federal Parliament."
Long Ying said to Long Chen with sincerity.
In fact, it was not that Long Ying didn't want Long Chen and Long Lan to support him, but that they would not agree. Therefore, he planned to retreat to advance. As long as the position of the president of the council was not in Long Bai's hands, he would have the chance to get such things.
But if the position of the president of the parliament falls on Long Bai, with her talent and strength, he will be completely out of the blue.
"Fifth Brother, I'm right, I'm willing to support you!"
Long Lan's expression changed a little, and then he spoke.
Long Chen took a deep breath, looked at Long Ying and Long Lan, and said with some emotion.
"To be honest, I have no interest in this position, but my father has left, and as his oldest son, I should stand up and take on this responsibilities."
"San brother, we understand!"
"yes!"
Long Ying and Long Lan nodded.
"Oh~ If Long Bai is a man, I don't want to compete with her. After all, she is very talented. But no matter what, she is a woman. I can't let the Long family have a little deviation, and there have been no women in the Long family over the years."
Long Chen said with a serious expression.
"The third brother is right. It is related to the long-term foundation of the Long family. No matter how cautious it is, it is not an exaggeration. But I am afraid that there will be problems during the election. After all, Long Bai and the others will not sit still and wait for death!"
Long Ying said with some concern.
"It's okay, we still have a lot of time to lobby now. As long as we can convince Lord Alicia and Lord Fallon to stand on our side, we will win!"
Long Chen said with great confidence.
"The question is, are they two candidates? Will they stand on our side?"
Long Lan asked with some concern.
"Nothing in this world is impossible, and even if we can't convince them, as long as we ensure that they can run independently, we will win!"
Long Chen said firmly.
"good!"
Long Ying and Long Lan nodded and responded.
——
City of Starlight.
Su Ming walked on the street, and the holographic projection advertisements around him were replaced with promotional videos of the election.
A short-haired female host in professional attire, wearing a professional suit, asked the famous politician Mr. Nanyam very politic.
"Mr. Nanyam, what do you think of this election?"
"This election will give birth to a new acting president, and the federal government will end the vacant situation at the top level and usher in a new life. I am very optimistic about this election."
"What do you think and comment about the participants in this election?"
"Everyone who was elected this time is excellent"
Many passing people stopped from time to time and looked at the promotional videos of the election.
At this time, the projection advertising space on the surface of a towering building projected a promotional image of Long Bai.
In the image, she was wearing a dark blue starry long skirt, with a lilac hair tied up, and an exquisite golden phoenix hairpin on it, and a silver metal mask on her face, full of elegance and intelligence.
Su Ming couldn't help but stop and looked up at her virtual promotional image and was a little stunning.
After a long time, Su Ming sighed with emotion.
"Oh~ This road is destined to be difficult to walk!"
Then he turned around and left.
District L1·Sujia Castle.
Su Ming walked into the castle, and the maids saluted respectfully along the way.
"Young Master Su Ming, you are back."
Mr. Xilun greeted respectfully.
"Well, are Grandpa Zeng and the others here?"
Su Ming asked with a calm expression.
"Here, they are all in the old man's study, I'll take you there."
Butler Xilun hurriedly led Su Ming and walked towards the study.
Not long after, Su Ming and Xilun came to the door of the study, and the door was covered in vain and was not closed. Before they could enter, they heard pleading sounds coming from inside.
