Latest website: In a separate office, Joseph Chretien sits opposite Pierre and asks respectfully: "Pierre, what's the matter?"
"Joseph, first of all I congratulate you." Pierre said solemnly.
"Thank you, I might not have won without your support." Joseph Chretien returned with a humble smile.
"Perhaps."
Pierre smiled and said, not confined to this topic, and asked: "Joseph, you are elected leader of the party, and the next step is to succeed me as prime minister."
"But it has been less than a year since the official election. With the current situation, what do you plan to do?"
Having become the leader of the party, Joseph Chretien no longer has to keep Pierre a secret about his plans.
"I intend to apply to the Governor to dissolve the Congress and hold a general election in the near future."
Pierre was taken aback. He looked at Joseph Chretien with scorching eyes, and asked, "Why are you so anxious?"
Just after asking, Pierre seemed to have thought of something, and continued: "Do you think that if we continue to procrastinate, it will be worse for us?"
"Yes, my think tank analyzes that with the current situation, even if I take over the position of your prime minister, it will be difficult for me to make political achievements in the short term and reverse the views of the people. On the contrary, there is a higher risk. It is better to change the term ahead of schedule. Disrupt the plan of the Progressive Conservative Party."
Joseph Chretien nodded and replied.
Pierre frowned and said nothing.
The reason why he retired early is because the people are extremely disgusted with him. His continued sitting in this position will only make the people feel worse for the Liberal Party, and it will be even more detrimental to the Liberal Party in the next general election.
But this does not mean that he intends to open the general election ahead of schedule.
In his original idea, he was to elect a capable person from the Liberal Party to take his place as prime minister. After he got down, the grievances of some people would naturally dissipate, and he would have a certain degree of patience and patience for the new prime minister. look forward to.
As long as the new prime minister has made political achievements, the Liberal Party will be able to stop the decline, reverse the views of the people, and raise the support rate before holding a general election.
I just didn't expect Joseph Chretien to be so decisive!
Joseph Chretien just took over the position of party leader. As long as he has not given up the position of prime minister to Joseph Chretien, he can still delay for a period of time to delay the election as much as possible.
So he still has the ability to interfere.
Is he just going to interfere or choose to cooperate with Joseph Chretien?
This is a very critical question...
The more he thinks, Pierre only feels the more confused his thoughts. He took a deep breath, looked directly at Joseph Chretien, and said, "Joseph, tell me all your reasons."
"I hope you can convince me."
Joseph Chretien leaned on the table with his hands crossed, looked at Pierre solemnly, was silent for a long time, reorganized his thoughts, and slowly said: "Joseph, now our Liberal Party is in power. All responsibilities are We assume that in addition to the original problems, there is now the biggest problem, that is, the Canadian financial market has reached the most dangerous moment."
"And most of the Canadian banking consortium has now chosen to support the Progressive Liberal Party. For a series of previous reasons, the government has used almost the same in financial policy."
"The government's fiscal deficit is as high as 32.35 billion Canadian dollars, accounting for 7.6% of last year's GDP, far exceeding the 3.7% average of capitalist countries. It can be said that, except for the United States, Canada has the highest fiscal deficit rate."
"In the past few years, in order to stimulate the economy to get out of the quagmire, the government has issued large-scale bonds. The current national debt is as high as 196 billion Canadian dollars, which is equivalent to 46.6% of last year's GDP. It has reached a very high level. We can no longer Debt is issued."
"The government's ability to intervene and control the financial market is extremely low."
"Now that foreign capital is attacking Canada's financial market, we can only watch from the sidelines. This is a manifestation of our incompetence."
"If it succeeds and has a real record, the Progressive Conservative Party will take the credit in its hands. This will be a huge blow to our prestige."
"If our financial market is looted, then the previously suppressed contradictions will erupt in an all-round way, and the people will only point the contradictions towards our current ruling party."
"So our analysis, whether it is victory or defeat, is extremely unfavorable to us, especially the consequences of failure are more serious."
"In my opinion, there is a high probability that we can't support it!"
After speaking in one breath, Joseph Chretien sighed and looked at Pierre, who was ugly.
After listening to Joseph Chretien's narration, after thinking about it, Pierre agreed with him in his heart.
As the head of a country, standing high enough, he certainly knows what is happening in the financial market and the reasons behind it.
He is very clear about the gap between the United States and Canada.
Although Canada has the Lowhill family resisting with a group of local consortia, the strength is still much worse than that of the United States and international capital.
The probability of failure is indeed relatively high, unless the Rohill family has a back hand.
The Canadian government can actually do very little, unless it dares to temporarily shut down the financial system, directly set the table, causing heavy losses to international capital, but he dare not do this kind of thing, and no one in Canada dares to do it.
That's why the embarrassing situation now appears. As a government, it is now acting as a bystander.
Put yourself in this position and think that if the Liberal Party is an opposition party, he is eager for international capital to win, so that he can hit the ruling party, and maybe it can complete the power seizure directly. As for the loss of Canada, it will only be considered after becoming the ruling party.
But now, the ruling party is their Liberal Party, which is terrible.
In fact, thinking of this, Pierre was basically convinced by Joseph Chretien.
However, he was still worried and thought about it and asked a crucial question: "Joseph, now our Liberal Party’s polls are far behind the Progressive Conservative Party. Even if you dissolve the Congress early for elections, how can you ensure that you can quickly reverse the people’s situation? Views, get their support?"
"If there are not enough options, it will be meaningless to start the elections in advance."
"I have a way!"
"But you need your cooperation, and you need to make sacrifices for the Liberal Party."
Joseph Chretien said decisively.
Pierre condensed his eyes and asked after a moment of silence, "What is the solution?"
Joseph Chretien said in a cold voice: "We will announce to the whole society what has happened in the financial market, and at the same time we proactively announced that due to bank capital, the government's ability to intervene and control the financial market is seriously insufficient, and then you Go back."
"After I took over, one of the campaign slogans was to focus on the reform of the Canadian financial system, strengthen the government's ability to control and intervene in the financial market, and consider the nationalization of some banks.
"At that time, even if our financial market suffers heavy losses, then our responsibility will be reduced indefinitely, and the people will point the finger at private financial capital and at the Progressive Conservative Party."
"We will come back!"
Pierre stared at Joseph Chretien with sharp eyes like a knife, and said in a deep voice: "But Canada will suffer heavy losses, and my efforts over the past years will be destroyed."
Joseph Chretien immediately retorted: "Pierre, but if we don’t do this, the things you worry about will also happen with a high probability. Even if they don’t happen, it has nothing to do with our Liberal Party. Your political property All will be taken over by the Progressive Conservative Party!"
"Pierre, I hope you can support me and support the Liberal Party."
"By doing this, although Canada will suffer heavy losses, we can severely damage the financial capital behind the Progressive Conservative Party and strengthen the strength of our Liberal Party."
"At the same time, a series of bombs were detonated, giving us time and space to re-plan and develop."
"In the next five, ten, or even twenty years, Canada will belong to our Liberal Party!"
"The future is enough for us to regain prosperity in Canada!"
Pierre was shocked looked at Joseph Chretien with a dumbfounded look.
For the first time, he felt that his partner suddenly became strange.
But this kind of strangeness, for the Liberal Party...
"Great!"
"I'm with you!"
"For the Liberal Party!"
"For a brand new Canada!"
"Thank you, Pierre!"
The two hands were tightly clasped together.
