"I've seen through the ugly faces of these capitalists a long time ago. Nonoyu was probably influenced by them back then, so..." At this point, Guanghui suddenly paused, as if he didn't want to mention the past, and moved on.
Topic:
"Forget it, let's not talk about that. In short, I always think that Maeda Takashi only temporarily supports the construction of the Grand Canal just to get votes. As for what he thinks in his heart, haha..."
"It's a matter of opinion."
After Mitsue's analysis, Yahiko felt as if his mind was in a mess. Those who had the same feeling as him were Konan, Minato, and the rope tree... His thoughts had already flown to nowhere.
In contrast, although Lei Luo also found it a bit difficult to understand, thanks to his many contacts with Kageyama Mamoru and Maeda Takashi, he was able to figure out the way here.
In short, Maeda Takashi's support for the Grand Canal project is temporary, and his purpose is nothing more than to paralyze Yahiko. He intends to win all the votes in the rain province for next year's general election. In fact, he himself does not really want the Grand Canal to be built.
Although the two parties signed a contract, Lei Luo felt that most of these people would exploit legal loopholes to expand their own interests in various ways, either by dragging their feet, forming a partnership or monopoly, or engaging in vicious competition.
In short, even if the Grand Canal is finally implemented, it will be difficult for the people of Keyu Province to reap too many substantial benefits after the Grand Canal is completed, at least it will be difficult to meet Yahiko's psychological expectations.
At most, the climate and environment can get better, and income can increase slightly. As for canal welfare? Common prosperity? In front of a group of wolf-like capitalists, I am afraid it is not a daydream.
Kageyama Mamoru's lack of support for the Grand Canal project is also temporary, because the cabinet currently does not have much power to deploy the province, and neither human resources nor financial shares are allowed to make arbitrary decisions.
But precisely, Kageyama Mamoru, who considers the general public, is the one who most hopes that the Grand Canal can be successfully completed and serve the public. This is determined not only by his political philosophy, but also by his voters.
Kageyama Mamoru and Maeda Takashi are not the same person. The latter only represents the interests of capital forces, but the former represents the interests of ordinary people. If the Grand Canal project is completed by Kageyama Mamoru, it is estimated that it can truly achieve Yahiko's goal.
Unfortunately, the current situation is here and the general election is approaching. After all, Kageyama Mamoru is not a complete saint. In other words, a saint also needs strength to successfully realize his own political ideas.
The number of voters and the position of prime minister are tangible manifestations of this power.
After all, Prime Minister Lei Luo has always only focused on foreign wars. Even if he occasionally focuses on industrial construction, his perspective is generally focused on the military industry. All other powers are delegated to various departments and do not interfere with the operation of the country.
From the perspective of power alone, in peacetime, the Prime Minister is indeed the largest official in the Fire Empire. It is no wonder that both big capitalists such as Takashi Maeda and saints like Kageyama Mamoru who are dedicated to the people are working hard for the election.
Kageyama Mamoru, who rejected Yahiko, and Maeda Takashi, who agreed to Yahiko, are essentially weighing their own political interests. In this game of power, it is still unclear who will have the last laugh.
'Every big capitalist controls the industrial chain and numerous companies, and can guarantee the votes of internal workers, who can vote for the corresponding party leaders according to their will. The number is almost impossible to estimate.'
'What's more, a political layout like the Grand Canal may also exist in other provinces. Capitalists, bourgeoisie, republicans, Maeda Takashi...the strength of these guys cannot be underestimated.'
'But 80% of the democrats are not vegetarians. Kageyama Mamoru has been in charge of the prime ministership for so many years and has not made many mistakes. On the contrary, he has achieved a lot of achievements. There are probably countless supporters in the country and in various provinces.'
'In addition, I heard that Shikaku also plans to participate in this election. However, at this stage, even though the power of ninja groups is spread across all social classes, their positions are actually not unified. The number of the National Defense Forces is only a few hundred thousand, I'm afraid...'
Realizing that he was thinking further and further, Lei Luo shook his head and refocused on the matter at hand. Seeing Yahiko looking at him steadily, his eyes full of confusion, he opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
.
"Teacher, is my choice really wrong?"
Should I trust the judgment of Mitsue and Makoto Uzumaki, trust the Prime Minister's consistent character, or should I take a gamble and bet that Maeda Takashi can fulfill the agreement from beginning to end and contribute to the construction of Yu Province...
Finally, completely change the land that keeps crying?
Yahiko had no idea about this. In front of a group of sophisticated politicians, even though he had several years of experience as a high-ranking official, he still seemed too immature and could not understand the truth of the matter before him.
Seeing his disciple's frustrated look, Lei Luo couldn't help but hesitate, wondering whether he should intervene or not. Subconsciously, he turned his attention to his own think tank, Uzumaki Makoto.
As if he saw what Lei Luo was thinking, Uzumaki Cheng shook his head slowly, and then turned his gaze to Guanghui. Lei Luo looked along and saw that although his wife looked unhappy, she also shook her head.
It is obvious that neither of them supports...
Lei Luo, intervene in this game of power.
Why don't you support it? Because the rules of the general election were set by Lei Luo himself. If he took the initiative to break them, his own prestige would undoubtedly be damaged. Even if no one dares to say anything, most of the people's hearts will probably be dispersed.
Although there is no express provision for the position of Prime Minister, members of Congress privately agreed that this position must always belong to Lei Luo. After all, the country needs military protection, and the Prime Minister does not need to be elected by the people, but the Prime Minister...
That is, it is still unclear who will be forced to surrender and who will die.
"Well, Yahiko, you can do it with confidence and boldness. No matter who wins the position of prime minister in the end, I assure you that the Grand Canal project will be implemented as scheduled."
With no choice but to do so, Lei Luo had no choice but to promise Yahiko this way. He also believed that with his own dignity, even the biggest capitalist would have to take care of him. But after taking care of him, how would the situation in Yu Province change...
Lei Luo, who is surrounded by a lot of things, obviously has no energy to take care of it. After all, the people's livelihood and economy are not his responsibility in the first place. In the days to come, Yahiko can only rely on himself to make a breakthrough.
"Well, thank you, teacher."
Yahiko's reaction was very dull. Although he looked grateful, he did not show much excitement. Perhaps the words of Mitsue and Uzumaki Makoto touched him too much?
The troubled young senior official just wants to find a quiet place and think about the future. Should he choose democracy or republic? This question is really before him at this moment.
Although capitalists seem hateful, national development cannot be separated from this group of social elites. Although the democratic route seems to be smooth, people often fail to make correct decisions that are beneficial to the country.
It is indeed necessary, go back and think about it carefully.
As for the purpose of coming in the first place, Uchiha Fugaku and Yahiko had long forgotten about it. Only Konan spoke before parting and got Lei Luo's promise.
