Awakening the Daily Intelligence System Chapter 440: 161, Lin Mo and the future Duke officially meet

Chapter 440: 161, Lin Mo and the future Duke officially et!_2

He is Bighu Alvin, the secretary of Johnson Foster and a core mber of his campaign team.

Every candidate has their own campaign team, and the team mbers are mostly retired officials with extensive experience in politics.

They understand Arica, they understand the people of this nation.

Unfortunately,

Johnson Foster has no governing experience, which ans that even if he is willing to spend a large sum of money, no current officials or retired officials would help him.

The reason is simple,

None of the officials are clean when they serve, holding leverage over each other, so rashly helping a newcor in the political arena is akin to seeking one’s own downfall.

Johnson Foster, with his back to him, said emotionlessly, “Go ahead, I’m ntally prepared.”

Alvin flipped open the docunt in his hand and said with gravity, “At present, the highest support within the Liberal Party is for Ron DeSantis.”

Ron DeSantis, the forr Governor of Florida and a veteran of the Liberal Party, has been the primary competition target of the party since he announced his candidacy.

The process for Duke elections goes like this.

The Liberal Party and the Conservative Party first hold internal elections, then they each select a candidate to compete in the official Duke elections.

Those are the broad rules, but there are so insider dealings as well.

For instance, this ti, in the Liberal Party, there are 19 people participating in the election, and each person has their own supporters.

So, when soone is eliminated, they will take their supporters and transfer their entire voter base to other competing mbers within the party.

Thus ensuring that their faction’s candidate gains more and more votes, making it easier to co out on top.

This can no longer be considered an unwritten rule; it’s practically common knowledge.

The bulk of the votes from the 14 candidates already eliminated have been cast in favor of forr Governor Ron DeSantis, effectively making his vote bank several tis larger than the others.

Plus, those who are eliminated later, in order not to offend Ron DeSantis, will still cast their votes for him.

How can this be played?

It’s simply unplayable!

It is because of these insider dealings that even Johnson Foster, despite being an Arican tycoon, finds it extrely difficult to enter this circle.

Alvin continued, “Currently, ranking second is Nikki Haley.”

Another unsurprising result.

This forr ambassador holds resources not inferior to that of the forr Florida Governor.

And behind her stands the Morgan Consortium, which allows her the freedom to leverage the consortium’s accumulated connections to gain votes in the competition.

As things stand, the outco of the Liberal Party’s election will only be between these two candidates.

Just as the secretary was about to say the third person’s na, Johnson Foster interrupted him, frowning and asking, “Alvin, I don’t want to hear this anymore. Please tell , have they found the person who’s been secretly helping ?”

His road to competition these past two years can be described as extrely smooth.

At first, no one thought highly of him, believing that Johnson Foster would be the first contender to be eliminated.

Even the well-known dia mocked him, calling him a delusional white pig contaminating the peak of power.

Public support for him was also very low; even with his financial maneuvers, it was virtually impossible for him to get this far, surprisingly becoming the number six contender within the party.

However…

He just happened to be that lucky,

Every ti Johnson Foster was on the verge of elimination, his competitors would encounter all sorts of unexpected events.

So voluntarily withdrew, so, confident in eliminating him, would suddenly get engulfed in a variety of scandals.

Once or twice it might be understandable, but when such incidents repeatedly happen three or four tis, it’s definitely not normal.

There must be a mastermind behind it.

Although Johnson Foster didn’t understand why the person was helping him, he was indeed continuously attempting to find the individual.

Alvin shook his head and said, “I’m sorry, Mr. President, I haven’t been able to get in touch with them yet. Perhaps they don’t even intend to reveal themselves.”

As the main force of the campaign team, he was certainly aware of the existence of the mysterious person.

Johnson Foster scratched his sowhat ssy hair and said helplessly, “Then do you think he will still help this ti?”

As soon as he finished speaking, he shook his head helplessly, a tinge of despondency in his voice, “With the situation like this, I’m afraid even if he wants to help, he might be unable to.”

“Heh, it’s not that I haven’t been trying, but the heavens of Arica are just too dark,” he lanted.

“I genuinely want to contribute to Arica, to make this country great again. Why can’t the people just give that chance?”

“They’ve been reaping the benefits for so many years, shouldn’t it be ti for a change?”

Is it dark?

Indeed it is very dark.

It appears to be free, but in reality, power is still transmitted through lineage, and outsiders dreaming of getting a piece is pure fantasy.

Johnson Foster could be said to have held sway in the business world, having even built his tower next to that palace watched by the entire world.

But what use was it?

Without the help of the mysterious benefactor, he would have probably been eliminated a year ago.

Alvin comforted him, “President, I think that since things haven’t completely co to an end yet, there might still be changes that occur.”

“And even if you can’t participate in the upcoming election, you can already consider it a victory.”

“After all, in the two-hundred-year history, there hasn’t been anyone without any governing experience who has made it as far as you have today.”

“I think you still need to prepare for the televised debate competition tomorrow night at 8 PM. That will be your last chance to campaign.”

Johnson Foster nodded and said in a deep voice, “May God bless us, and may the people of Arica awaken sooner and realize that no one understands Arica more than I do, only I can make it great again!”

“I love my country, I love my people.”

….

About 3 kiloters away from Johnson Tower, in the top-floor suite of a luxury hotel.

Lin Mo was sitting on a chair, calmly listening to his subordinate’s report on Johnson Foster’s competition.

Yes,

he was the man standing behind Johnson Foster.

It was with Lin Mo’s help that Johnson Foster could leap from a politically inexperienced nobody to being among the top six contenders today.

Though the Abyss Organization had vanished in the past two years, Lin Mo was still receiving ten intelligence reports every day without decline.

Currently, he had amassed enough dirt on other competitors to send Johnson Foster straight to the Duke’s seat.

After listening to his subordinate’s report, Lin Mo asked, “So what you an is, even with enough dirt, we can’t touch the two top-ranking people in the Liberal Party.”

“That’s how it looks right now.” The subordinate answered honestly, “Those two have a strong foundation, external support, control of mainstream dia, and many consortiums. It’s not nearly enough to beat them with just dirt.”

“Right now, even if all their voters abandoned them, the support of others within the party is enough to win over Johnson Foster.”

The situation was… a bit troubleso.

But thankfully, Lin Mo had already anticipated such a scenario and he was not unprepared.

Just as he did in Grand Xia, he was accustod to considering all kinds of risks and making ample preparations in advance.

And now the timing was perfect, it was ti for him, the backstage manipulator, to take a turn in the spotlight.

Otherwise, even if Johnson Foster won, he wouldn’t know how much effort Lin Mo had put in from the shadows.

All that previous work would have been for nothing.

Lin Mo inquired, “When is the next speech?”

The subordinate answered, “Tomorrow night at 8 PM, at the Washington D.C. television station. All six candidates will be present.”

“Good.” Lin Mo nodded slightly and said in a serious tone, “Get a ticket to the venue. I want to go to the station and witness our future Duke’s shining mont.”

“Yes, I’ll get on it right away.” The subordinate bowed slightly and left the office.

Hum… hum hum…

As soon as he left, Lin Mo’s phone began to ring.
