Alien Empire Total War
Chapter 98: Joint-stock company (4000 characters)
At noon the next day, Charlie received Sandy's code to meet in a manor on the outskirts of the city with the help of Wisberg's mafia.
The manor was bought by Wisberg before the outbreak of the Second Civil War and used as a secret base for the Mafia. He is usually low-key, so few people associate him with the ruthless mafia boss.
In the study room of the main building of the manor, Charlie saw Sandy in disguise again. The former president of the country always maintained a humble attitude in front of Charlie. If he was seen by outsiders, he would definitely feel that this world was very magical.
As soon as Charlie came in, Sandy quickly stood up and saluted him, Charlie waved his hand casually, motioning him to sit back, and then he took the seat behind the main table.
"Reynard, how is the situation in the Santos party?" He asked straight to the point as soon as he sat down.
"Everyone is grateful for your magnanimity. At least from the current point of view, almost no one has expressed their hatred for you. The main object of their hatred is the aristocratic gang."
"In their eyes, I'm just a young leading noble, and there is no need for hatred." Charlie said with a chuckle. He had expected this, but Sandy shook his head and explained to him:
"Behind you is the Clos family, the leading family in the aristocratic faction. The party firmly believes that you will enter the parliament as a member of parliament and participate in politics. To have such a rare real power aristocrat who is friendly to the Santos party, as long as you are not stupid. I won't take the initiative to provoke you."
After he finished speaking, he asked again doubtfully: "General, I always thought that you would take the opportunity to ban the Santos Party, but why did you give up this good opportunity and let the Santos Party continue to be active in the political arena?"
"The noble faction cannot dominate the family." Charlie smiled slightly and explained to him: "Even with the checks and balances of the bourgeoisie, the aristocratic faction with the remnants of winning the civil war can dominate the National Assembly. In the absence of foreign enemies, the greedy gang My nobles will definitely be busy with infighting, and the Cross family I belong to will also face joint provocations from other families."
"Instead of waiting until that time to passively fight, it's better to prepare in advance so that your Santos party will continue to exist and contain those nobles."
"Then what do you need us to do?" Sandy asked faithfully. He didn't hold a grudge against Charlie because he stepped down from the presidency. Under the system's brainwashing, nothing would make him unfaithful to Charlie. idea.
"What do you think you can do?" Charlie didn't answer directly, he asked instead.
"I'm still the leader of the Santos party, and my opponents are basically killed in that explosion, so my idea is the whole will of the Santos party." Sandy said: "If you want, we will put the votes. All for you to be the new President of the Republic."
To be the new president?
Hearing this answer, Charlie's breathing stagnated a little. Although he wanted to climb up and enter the parliament to participate in politics, he never thought about reaching out to the throne of the president as soon as he came up-he is only 22 years old, how can anyone become a 22-year-old President of a country? Even Napoleon Bonaparte, who was in his prime, became the first French ruler at the age of 30.
Charlie didn't think he was as great as Napoleon, and he didn't dare to dream of becoming the president of a country at a young age.
Seeing that Charlie was silent, Sandy persuaded: "General, since the outbreak of the Great Revolution, isn't your series of measures aimed at climbing to a high position? Now is a good time for you to sit on the throne of the president, you Why do you hesitate?"
"Although the strength of the Santos Party has plummeted after the second civil war, our support alone cannot push you up, but you still have the Clos family behind you. As long as the Clos family behind you is willing to support you, you can become this country. Youngest President!"
Charlie remained silent. Although Sandy's words were hysterical, he still remained calm enough. He knew very well that the position of the president was not so easy to sit on. Will be torn to shreds by wolves of councillors and bureaucrats.
Moreover, he did not think that the Cross family would easily choose to support him, because when he came out, he learned from the conversations of several family members that the family was going to push Uncle Gunila to run for president.
Also, no matter from any point of view, Gunilla is more mature and reliable than young Charlie, and pushing Gunilla to the position of president can also benefit the family more.
Charlie still doesn't know what Debra has investigated his details. If he knows, he can think of deeper reasons...
Seeing that Charlie didn't answer, Sandy bit his lower lip and continued to persuade: "General, if the aristocratic president comes to power, our Santos party will be hit hard, why not take advantage of the fact that the Santos party is still in place. When you have a certain strength, how about competing for more interests?”
"As long as you sit on the president's throne, I can assure you that the Santos Party will become your most loyal supporter."
Indeed, no matter who sits on the throne of the President, as long as he comes from the aristocratic faction, he will definitely attack the old enemy Santos Party, and now Sandy has basically integrated the remaining members of the Santos Party, the Santos Party will be severely damaged and will also attack Charlie himself. interests adversely affected.
With the support of the Santos party, even if he can't take the position of president, it is more than enough to fight for a vice president...
Thinking of this, Charlie nodded, paying attention.
"Okay, I took your suggestion. I will announce my candidacy for president at the next meeting, Sandy. I hope you can make sure that all members of the Santos party will vote for me."
Charlie, who had made up his mind, no longer hesitated, his tone was unquestionably firm: "Since you have decided to participate, you must be fully prepared to ensure that your goal can be achieved."
"Don't worry, I swear to the Holy Spirit that I will make all Santos party members vote for you." Leonard Sandy stood up and assured in a serious tone.
"Very good, Leonard, I believe in your ability." Charlie said with a smile, at the same time raising his hand to signal him to sit down, and after the latter sat back in the chair, he continued: "Indeed, as you said , We can't pin all our hopes on the Santos party, the aristocracy and the bourgeoisie also need to make contact. In addition, before the election starts, you must actively expand your manpower to ensure that you have a higher seat in the parliament than the bourgeoisie."
"I understand, General," Sandy said.
……
After Charlie made up his mind to fight for the presidency, the system intelligently issued him a long-lost task:
[New mission:
After the Second Civil War, the Rumont Republic lacked a strong leader to lead the divided National Assembly and the demoralized army back into a strong country before the Great Revolution. A new round of general elections is approaching. He stood out and was elected the third president of the Rumont Republic.
Mission Rewards: Unlock all functions of the system, all major cities in the country will be included in the system cities, reward random new technologies, and recruit a Republican Guard infantry regiment
Mission Failed: Campaign Failed]
The quest rewards released by the system are still so rich, which has undoubtedly become a major motivation for Charlie to run for president. No matter which of the four rewards is very tempting to him, it can also make his strength to a higher level.
It seemed that the system insisted that he take the position of president.
This is also a good explanation. The total war system that Charlie masters is destined to be a leader in order to exert the greatest effect. If he is willing to be subordinate, even if he is a second-in-command, this system will only be abandoned unless he is sent out. The province serves as the governor of the province.
Therefore, this election can only be won but not lost.
……
Before Charlie took the initiative, the bourgeois people approached Charlie first. Shortly after he left Westberg Manor, he was stopped by the bourgeoisie on his way into the city. A bourgeois congressman invited him to his estate, and said that in addition to him, several other congressmen would also be present.
Considering that the bourgeoisie also needed someone, Charlie agreed without the slightest hesitation, and followed them to their manor on the outskirts of the city.
By the time Charlie arrived at the manor, there were several carriages parked outside the manor, and the coachmen were all sitting in front of their carriages, bragging about others.
Out of respect for Charlie, the owner of the manor, Callum Arnold, personally welcomed Charlie at the entrance of the hall after asking the butler to lead Charlie into the manor. Who leaked it has already spread among the members.
The 22-year-old congressman, with great military exploits and a well-known family background, has a promising future. If he can have a good relationship with him before he actually enters the parliament, it will also be beneficial in the future.
It is also because of this that Arnold invited Charlie to visit his family's manor, and by the way, let several members of Congress who were friends with him also get to know Charlie.
"General Cross, it is a great honor for you to accept my invitation to visit my manor."
Arnold, who was standing at the door of the hall, welcomed Charlie very warmly. Several members of parliament behind him also greeted him, introducing their names. Charlie smiled and nodded to them in greeting.
After the introduction, several people took their seats one after another. Although Arnold, who owns dozens of textile and garment factories under his name, was a little respectful to Charlie, he still showed the confidence of a successful person in his gestures.
"General Cross, I heard that you are planning to step down from your military position and join the National Assembly to participate in politics. If this rumor is true, then we will be colleagues in the future." Arnold asked tentatively.
"It's true." Charlie smiled politely. "Mr. Arnold, I'm very much looking forward to working with you after entering the National Assembly."
"In addition, regarding the canned food that was purchased by the military on a large scale during the war, I also have the idea of selling this product abroad. I hope to ask Mr. Arnold for advice..."
How could Arnold not hear Charlie's initiative? The cans in Charlie's hands have been in the limelight recently. They were not only procured on a large scale by the Army participating in the civil war, but distributed to the grassroots soldiers, solving the troublesome food logistics problem. , has also become a necessity for many civilians to survive in war - relying on these easy-to-store cans, many people are saved from starvation.
This civil war has magnified the advantages of canned food again. After the end of the civil war, it is conceivable that canning factories everywhere will receive a large number of orders, and new canning factories will sprout up like mushrooms after a rain. Factory competition.
"There will be a chance, General Charlie, or we'll take this opportunity to talk today?" Arnold said enthusiastically, he deliberately only called Charlie's name to show his closeness.
"This..." Charlie pretended hesitantly glanced at the few MPs next to him, and hesitated, Arnold understood what he meant, he said: "They are all trustworthy people, whether it is personal or business. That's how it works together."
"If this is the case~www.wuxiaspot.com~ then I'll get straight to the point." Charlie pretended to be relieved and said to them: "It is foreseeable that after the domestic order is restored, the competition in the canned food market will become more intense. In addition to those speculators, there will also be investment from nobles and capitalists. We cannot waste all our energy on competing with them, which will only greatly reduce our surplus.
On the other hand, abroad, as far as I know, only a small amount of canned food is circulated in foreign markets. It is a very large and unexplored original market. As long as we work together, we can sell canned food before we notice this at home. If the object is transferred to foreign markets, I don't need to say the profit, but you can imagine it. "
"What do we need to do?" a congressman asked.
"We jointly registered a joint-stock company specializing in canned food and shipped it to the Republic of Danse in the east through customs. There is still a civil war and food resources are scarce. I think they will like this kind of canned food that is easy to store." Charlie said with a smile, "I'll prepare the canned goods. As for the trade route to the Republic of Danse and clearing the customs, I'll leave you to take care of it."
Charlie has nothing to do with customs. Arnold and the other bourgeoisie often ship goods abroad for sale, and they must have established a relationship with them, so if they do it, they can save a lot of money.
The tide of the Great Revolution has not changed the customs of the customs, except that it has replaced a group of officials. It is still the same corruption and corruption, and it is even worse. Even if Charlie has no relationship, even if he has a noble status, I am afraid that it will be hidden. A little bit of corruption...
Although Charlie assigned them tasks, Anor and the others still had some doubts.
