The congressmen may understand that Lei Luo does not want to be the prime minister, or they may not understand, but in short, the twenty-one congressmen representing the strength of the Congress all elected Lei Luo as the prime minister. In the face of public expectations, Lei Luo had to reluctantly accept the appointment.
It was Lei Luo who defeated the daimyo forces, it was Lei Luo who supported the capital forces, and it was him, the fourth generation Hokage, who controlled the power of Konoha ninjas. In this case, no one with any brains would stand up and fight.
He competes.
Lei Luo had considered all the possible situations that would arise in the first Congress, but he had only ignored himself and what he meant to the Country of Fire and to the bureaucrats, businessmen, and people's ninjas.
"Okay, since you must elect me as prime minister, then I will be the prime minister..."
After taking the oath of office to the Constitution, Lei Luo looked at the crowd below and unexpectedly saw a pair of eyes full of expectation, which made his mood slightly complicated.
But soon, he adjusted his mentality and changed the topic: "However, the prime minister's energy is limited after all, so I prefer to elect another prime minister to manage the cabinet on behalf of the prime minister and exercise most of the state powers."
"As for the candidate for the Prime Minister of the Cabinet..." Looking up and scanning the people in the venue, Lei Luo thought for a moment, and then continued: "Let it be selected by everyone present."
After hearing the meaning of Lei Luo's words, the capital congressmen and the bureaucratic congressmen looked at each other one after another, and then turned their heads in unison, looking at the people from all walks of life sitting in the hall of Congress behind them, with uncontrollable expressions in their eyes.
Give out the light of desire.
The leader of the Prime Minister must be Lei Luo. This is the case both emotionally and rationally. However, the Prime Minister and all the members have the opportunity to fight for it. This is the connotation they perceived from Lei Luo's attitude.
And Lei Luo just said that the election of the cabinet prime minister is no longer decided by the MPs, but by everyone in the hall, which means...
"Lao Chen intends to run for the position of Prime Minister. If you support Lao Chen, please raise your hands!"
First, he looked at Lei Luo with gestures. After receiving a positive reply, Chida Yu suddenly stood up, turned his head, and shouted seriously to everyone in the Congress Hall, causing a commotion.
As if he realized something in an instant, Maeda Takashi stood up quickly and shouted with an aura that was no weaker than Chida Yu:
"Everyone, Gao Zhi also wanted to be the Prime Minister of the Cabinet the day before yesterday. As long as everyone can support me, I am willing to use all the 200 acres of real estate in the capital to build schools, hospitals and other public welfare facilities, and provide free services to everyone without taking any money!"
Since most of the people in the hall, except for a few ninjas from Konoha, were ordinary people living in the capital of the Land of Fire, Maeda Takashi's words caused a large commotion as soon as they came out.
In the following time, members of Congress stood up one after another. Bureaucrats used their fame and reputation, and capitalists used economic means. Members of both parties tried their best to win the support of everyone in the hall in order to obtain the power of the Prime Minister.
It is obvious from the current situation that Lei Luo sincerely does not want to manage the cabinet. He is more of a prime minister in name only and a symbol of the national leader.
Therefore, the position of prime minister is the top priority. To a certain extent, it can even be said that he is the actual ruler of the Fire Country under the capitalist system, and his power is infinitely close to that of the previous daimyo.
The hall of the Congress was filled with excitement. One after another, members of Congress loudly announced their lines, eager to promise all the benefits. The Konoha ninjas present had obviously never seen such a formation before, and they couldn't help but look at each other in confusion.
After glancing around at the crazy-looking crowd, and then at the group of hoarse congressmen in front of him, Beiliuhu's eyes were full of confusion, and then he asked Fugaku who was sitting next to him without knowing why:
"What's going on? Don't they know that Hokage-sama is the real ruler of the Land of Fire? Is there any point in their fighting?"
Fugaku was silent for a moment, opened his closed eyes, glanced at Beiliuhu lightly, moved his lips, and after a long time he managed to utter a few words:
"Hokage-sama, I don't have time to manage specific things."
Noticing that Beiliuhu's face was still blank, Fugaku's heart remained unmoved, so he organized some words and took the trouble to explain:
"According to Lord Hokage's vision, we in Konoha will expand our scale in the future, recruit a large number of Fire Nation ninjas, form a standing ninja army, and occupy a place in the Fire Nation's political arena."
"Hokage-sama is already busy with these things alone. How can he have time to take care of other things? Appropriate decentralization of power can also unite the hearts of people in the Land of Fire."
"The position of Prime Minister of the Cabinet is equivalent to being the great steward of the Country of Fire. He indirectly controls the Country of Fire for the Hokage. His status is probably no less than that of the previous daimyo."
"The most important thing is that becoming the Prime Minister is equivalent to receiving the full support of the Hokage and Konoha. Do you understand?"
Seeing Bei Liuhu nodding thoughtfully, but in fact his eyes still showed confusion, obviously he was trying to deal with himself pretending not to understand, Fugaku was too lazy to pay attention to the other party, and instead observed the situation in the lobby.
Due to the impassioned speeches made by the congressmen, the people of the Fire Country present, regardless of their status or class, were suddenly eager to try it, and were obviously very interested in this electoral system.
But after all, the Country of Fire is a traditional feudal country, and changes in ideological concepts cannot be achieved overnight. Even if the atmosphere in the auditorium is very warm, when it comes to a show of hands to vote, the people still fall into unprecedented hesitation.
, resulting in very few applicants.
The career of the big shot, the fate of the country, and the choice of the ruler are truly in the hands of ordinary people like me at this moment. The people of the Fire Country will be anxious, uneasy, and afraid, but they will not take it for granted.
Raise your arms high to exercise your sudden right to vote.
Unconsciously, the Congress Hall fell silent.
The first candidate in the election, a former high-ranking official of the Fire Nation named Yu Chida and current member of parliament, stood quietly on the seat erected next to Lei Luo, waiting for the people of the Fire Nation to elect their new term.
ruler.
In the front row, the members of the capitalist and bureaucratic sides were very nervous, but the members of the Konoha side were very calm. Shikaku sat on his seat and looked at the blushing capitalists and officials next to him with a faint expression.
I had a moment of thought and I didn’t know what I was thinking about.
After a long time, Chida Yu looked at the scene where no one raised his hand, and there was a slight fluctuation on his face, as if he understood something. He turned back to look at Lei Luo, who was silent, and whispered:
"Your Excellency Hokage, the people of our country seem to be very unaccustomed to this power appointment system, so I suggest..."
