Blackstone Code

Early in the morning, people lined up to go to the voting window and show their IDs.

Because in Lemar's direct presidential election system, voters have very direct interference in the birth of the president, in order to avoid various shortcomings in elections, such as repeated voting.

They gave every Lemar adult a voting card of sorts.

This thing is about the size of three ordinary business cards, with basic information about the voter and a form on it.

Each cell in the table represents the process of voting in an election. If a voter has voted, a hole will be punched in the cell to indicate that the voter has exercised his or her rights and obligations as a voter in this election. .

If not, then their submitted ballot will be encapsulated with the holes cut out.

Because these voter ID cards are specially made, using currency-like printing and anti-counterfeiting methods, the patterns are extremely complex. It can be said that the pattern of each voter ID card is almost unique, and it is impossible for two copies to be exactly the same. This means that The holes cut out are also unique to the corresponding voter ID card.

When the direct election is over, each party will basically conduct random checks on these ballots to ensure that their defeat was not due to "artificial reasons."

So early in the morning, people will come to the polling office with their voter ID cards to vote.

The number of people participating in the vote was particularly large this time because the federal government provided humanitarian relief supplies, but the right to use these supplies was not delegated to the current ruling party of the Lemar government, which is the Democratic Party of Aid.

The World Development Council Humanitarian Relief Organization is a neutral charitable organization under the World Development Council. They are responsible for the distribution of humanitarian relief supplies.

Taking into account some of the things currently going on, after simple negotiations, the humanitarian relief organization established a platform for distributing supplies next to the voting window.

Before voting, every voter can receive a piece of material assistance from this with their uncut and punched voter ID card.

This included medicines and medical materials worth ten dollars, such as gauze.

A compressed food package worth ten yuan, the food inside can sustain the nutrition needed by an adult for a week.

It’s worth noting that this is just nutrition, not that it will keep an adult full for a week.

There are also some personal cleaning supplies, soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes and insect repellent, as well as some clothing.

Overall, these things are worth about thirty yuan, which may not seem very expensive, but to the people of Lemar at this time, it seems particularly precious!

This also won the favor of many Lemar people. When Pengeo's diplomatic ambassador saw those things, he realized that they were not as good as the federal people in this matter.

The Pengeo people are very arrogant and proud. They conquered challengers one after another. Even if they were suppressed by the Gefra people in the last world war, they did not consider it a defeat.

Because the Gefra people did not even dare to land, they only dared to attack Penteo's merchant ships in coastal areas and bombard coastal cities.

If it weren't for some trade issues, the Pengeos might not have ended the war.

For them, this is only a short-term failure. As long as they are allowed to contact the mainland of Gaevra, even if only one legion lands, it will be enough to massacre the entire Gaevra!

This confidence brought about by continuous victory in history eventually evolved into a kind of arrogance. Many people within the empire did not believe that the Lemar Islands would become a key geographical location that affected the war.

They believe that what can really affect the direction of the war is the southern continental plate.

It can be used as a springboard, whether it is to jump across the strait to attack the Federation, or to go to Gaevra from a port further west, it is extremely convenient.

And the distance between these places is not too wide. For example, the Upper Strait, where the two continental plates are closest, only takes two days to cross.

This also means that they can send a large number of soldiers to the federal south for landing in a shorter time and with lower risks!

Compared with these, an island archipelago located in the middle of the Eastern Ocean is actually not that important in the Pengeo Empire's strategic intentions for the next war.

Their purpose of taking over the Lemar Islands is only defensive. With this area, they don't have to worry about the federals directly attacking their coastal cities, and they don't need to deploy a large number of shore artillery in coastal cities.

If they really got this archipelago, they would not rush westward. The Pengeo people were actually very afraid of the ocean being too vast.

They don't have any advantage on the battleships, and they don't want to fight a naval battle!

In any case, they are now many steps behind the Federation, and Pengeo's diplomatic ambassador has given up hope on the results of this election.

On May 9th, the week-long voting ended, and all the votes were sent to the central island for counting.

Radio stations, television stations, and all media are following and reporting on it.

People stood by their televisions and radios, waiting silently.

Perhaps only after experiencing darkness can people look forward to the light.

The entire vote counting lasted for four days, and on May 13, the results finally came out. With a slim lead of less than 3%, the chairman of the Autonomous Party became the new president of the Republic of Lemar.

Small countries do not have so many rules. The chairman of the party committee is his party position and has nothing to do with his job as president.

The Democratic Party requires random checks of votes. Of course, this is also the practice of every election. Losers always hope that their defeat is not because they are inferior to others.

After two days of spot checks, they found no problems, and finally had no choice but to admit the results.

Immediately, Lemar's election results were sent via wireless telegraph to the United Fleet, which had not yet gone far.

Then the news quickly spread around the world.

The Pengeo Empire expressed regret over the results of the election and withdrew all diplomatic envoys.

The President of the Federation expressed his affirmation, affirmed Lemar's performance in terms of freedom and..., and was willing to actively promote the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Federation and Lemar. He once again invited the Republic of Lemar to join the World Development Council and contribute its part to maintaining world peace. strength.

The newly elected President of the Republic of Lemar enthusiastically responded to the federal government’s invitation and expressed that he was very honored to do this!

Everything is developing for the better...

At the end of May, the federal mission came to the Lemar Islands with a large amount of supplies and orders, as well as some soldiers...
