“We are standing at the crossroad of history. On our left is an abyss and on our right is a cliff. There is only one path we can take, which is straight forward, forward, and forward! The future of our family, our country, our entire humanity is there.”

In the cheers, he continued to shout loudly.

“Thank you for your vote. You have chosen me and I will stand with you.”

“All errors will be corrected!”

“Thank you…”

The members of the Democratic Party stood on the side of the podium and also applauded.

Regardless of win or loss, whether regretful or not, they stood there with grace.

Even Hill and Kerry, who were defeated in the primaries, gave their applause.

After all, the lens of the media would undoubtedly reserve a close-up for them.

Hill’s expression was calm, but it was better to say that she was relieved.

Kerry showed the slightest unwillingness to accept such a failure. At this moment, there was nothing to say. He could only vent his dissatisfaction in the applause to make his failure not look so embarrassing in front of the media.

No one expected the fact that Hill not only hurt herself, and also hurt him as a result. This ultimately led the black horse, Joseph Kennedy, to snatch the victory.

According to their next arrangement, the party would now work together. If Joseph was elected, he may be able to continue as the secretary of state…

Kerry shook his head and sighed in his mind.

Perhaps, he really did not have what it takes to be the president?



The same month.

The Republican primaries was also decided.

Another black horse won, but to some extent, it was expected.

Whether it was the unreserved statements, or the motivating campaign promises, he gained a huge support rate among the blue-collars.

He cussed Bush, whose father and brother were both presidents, to the point that he decided to withdraw from the election, he laughed at Rubio for his inability to satisfy his wife… every debate made the audience in front of their TVs laugh.

There seemed to be no reason not to vote for him.

On the day of the last speech before the primaries in March, he had already won the primaries as no rivals stood beside him on stage.

Standing in front of his supporters, Trump waved his hand and fixed the microphone.

He first thanked his supporters and reiterated his campaign platform.

Perhaps he felt that the lack of opponents was too boring. He threw away the speech prepared for him and directed his attack at Joseph Kennedy, who was in the limelight.

“…I know you think of Mr. Kennedy as a hero that saved the astronauts. Don’t doubt, I am equally grateful for his contribution and for his efforts to save seven families.”

“However, have you ever thought about why he can convince the man? What trades have they reached? You haven’t thought about it, they haven’t told you, and we don’t know.” He exaggeratedly widened his eyes, spread his hands, and looked at the supporters.

“I don’t think the compromise of selling the nation’s interest can bring long-lasting peace,” Trump lifted his right hand and allowed his middle finger and thumb to sway together, as he revealed his signature move. “Even it can, I think that is also false! It is wrong!”

“The UA president should give priority to the interests of its people!”

“If I am elected president, I will definitely push the UA to join the Earth Defense Alliance, make our due contribution to the defense of extraterrestrial civilization, and end the situation that UA space companies are discriminated against on commercial aerospace projects… but there is one premise, I will definitely bring benefits to our people!”

The atmosphere was once again ignited.

The national flags waved under the stage and the cheers and applause echoed.

Trump raised his hand, he smiled and nodded as he looked at the supporters under the stage with satisfaction,

He knew that the words he had just said would definitely be criticized by the media.

But he didn’t care.

You understand politics.

I’m an expert at marketing.



In Xin across the Pacific Ocean, a general election came to an end.

The general election system adopted by Xin was different from the UA election across the sea. The election began in the middle of last year. Without the party system, the person that received the most support from the Xin people would become the president.

Standing on the lawn in front of the presidential palace, Zhang Yaping, dressed in a suit, walked to the rostrum.

A dense crowd gathered in front of him.

As early as an hour ago, his supporters had already gathered.

The huge crowd even overflowed from the lawn onto the roads and blocked the traffic in front of the presidential palace.

In order to maintain order at the scene, Celestial Trade sent a battalion of troops, dispatched armored vehicles and helicopters, assisted the police in arranging isolation lines, maintained order on the scene, and alerted to possible emergencies or even terrorist attacks.

Zhang Yaping stopped for a moment and reminisced about what has happened over the past four years, before he adjusted the microphone, and put on a confident smile.

His voice was very calm. There were no confrontational words, no exhilarating cheers, and everything seemed natural.

“Before we start, please look down at the lawn under our feet.”

“Four years ago, we were here, and we ended the tyranny of President Edward, and led this country back on the right track.”

“After four years, we have become the most enviable country in the world.”

“History has already evaluated our choices, and I believe this evaluation must be positive. We have used our limited land and resources in just four years to complete a feat that most countries would need forty years or even a century to complete. Our GDP growth rate is also a miracle in world history.”

“You chose me and I will respond to your trust.”

“I assure you that in the next four years, Xin will remain the most advanced country in the world! It is still the place of hope in the world! We will be stronger and go further! And the lawn we are stepping on Is the starting point of all this, and the center of the future world, and even the entire solar system!”

Passionate cheers and thunderous applause erupted in front of the presidential palace.

The military band played the national anthem and raised the national flag.

Looking at the rising flag, Jiang Chen smiled.

Just four hours ago, he had received news from Bernice from the far away UA.

The primaries were decided.

The result was the same as the Xin election.

As expected.
