Chapter 203: Physically Handicapped

Lian Xusheng's opponent is not the leader of the wealthy family who has just moved into the Prime Minister's Palace, but Lofus, who is on the other side of the Guia Ocean and preparing for the third presidential election.

This is not to destroy one's own prestige and grow the morale of others, and the empire's war plans are indeed influenced by Lofus.

Seven years ago, the Democrat, who had served as assistant secretary of the Navy and governor in a wheelchair because of polio, was highly regarded by imperial intelligence when he announced his candidacy for the presidency, and listed him as one of the most threatening politicians in other countries.

That's not an overestimation of him.

A man who is only 50 years old, has been in a wheelchair for more than a decade, and has not been able to stand up for the rest of his life, dares to stand up to the economic crisis caused by the Great Depression, challenge a formidable opponent, and storm the unattainable presidency.

Just this courage is worthy of admiration.

Lofos has not only courage, but also extraordinary eyesight and the ability to look for opportunities in the face of danger and seize them.

Four years before he ran for the first time in the '88 calendar, and a year before the Great Depression began, the Democrats wanted Lofos to step up and later offered to run as a vice-candidate. He politely refused, and thus avoided the disaster that followed.

He waited until the economic crisis came and the situation became out of control.

In one move alone, he became the savior of more than 200 million Nulands.

How clever and cunning this is.

It can also be said to be a political vision.

After being elected, Lofos showed a ability that was completely worthy of the "promotion" and "appreciation" of the Imperial intelligence agencies.

Just one thing: the New Deal.

Fundamentally, the New Deal introduced by Lofos was actually a copy of the economic reforms carried out by Xue Yuanzheng in the Liangxia Empire, or a different name to be precise. At the heart of both of them is to stimulate investment and construction and promote economic development through deficit spending and government borrowing.

That alone proves that Lofos is an opponent to be taken seriously.

If it weren't for Lofus's new policies in the Newland Federation, I am afraid that there would be no need to ignite the flames of war, and the Liangxia Empire would be able to reign again.

Looking at the world, the only one who is qualified to compete with the Liang Xia Empire is the Nuland Federation.

If the Nuland Federation had not followed suit and stood up to compete with the Liangxia Empire on a global scale, the Liangxia Empire would have been able to defeat almost all of its opponents in this economic crisis caused by the Great Depression, especially the trade war during the economic crisis.

In 93 of the new calendar, that is, when Lofus moved into the Gray House, even the Newland Federation was almost unable to hold on.

It is precisely because of this that many people believe that the Great Depression of 89 was caused by the Liang Xia Empire, or at least the Liang Xia Empire operated behind the scenes.

Either way, Lofos became the man who changed the course of history.

From 96 A.D., the year before the Treaty of Hwaseong and the Treaty of Luntai were annulled, Lofos was taken into account in the Empire's war plans, and in a later revision, the war with the Newland Federation was postponed until 101 A.D.

The reason: Lofus' second term will expire at the beginning of 101.

Don't forget, since the Founding Fathers retired after serving two terms, all the presidents of the Newland Federation have retired after two consecutive terms.

Will Lofoss be an exception?

If he is ready to lead the Nuland Federation into the next global war, he needs to maintain his image as a leader, and he must not risk the world's condemnation.

What the founding fathers didn't dare to do, he dared to do?

If he doesn't dare to do so, he'll have to move out of the Grey House at the end of his two-term term.

Obviously, the guy who lived in the Gray House after Lofos could not be more difficult to deal with than Lofus.

Even if Lofus were to sit behind the scenes and influence the presidency, it would certainly not be as good as sitting in the Gray House and giving orders.

From this, it was deduced backwards that there was a strategic setting for a war with the Sakuyi Imperial State at the end of 99 or the beginning of 100, and a war plan derived from it.

Now the question is: Lofos is preparing to run in a third presidential election.

According to the information obtained from the Belarusian armistice war, the reason given by Lofos is that the international situation is complex and that the domestic situation needs to be stabilized in order to deal with external threats.

In addition, the current law of the Union of Nuland does not prohibit three consecutive terms as president.

Crucially, nearly half of the Democratic elders have already expressed support for Lofus' third presidential election, and the Republican Party simply has no suitable candidate.

In theory, there is basically no suspense that Lofos will be elected president for a third time.

Now, the situation has become very delicate.

If the original plan is strictly followed, that is, the victory over the Sagi Empire within one year, then the war against the Sagi Empire will be declared over in the second half of the 100th year of the new calendar. The problem is that the probability of strictly following the plan is almost zero. If the operational plan is not extended, then it is not called an operational "plan." A delay of a while, even if it is only for a few months, will inevitably lead to a lot of unexpected problems.

The key point is that if it drags on until the end of the 100th year of the new calendar, Lofos will inevitably be re-elected president.

On the other hand, if the war against the Narrow Empire can end early, such as before the start of the election in June 100 of the new calendar, that is, before the election of the Newland Federation, it may also be possible to make concessions at the political and diplomatic levels to influence the election of the president of the Newland Federation.

Actually, this is part of the war plan.

The Newland Federation has a main battle faction like Lofus, and there are also conservatives who adhere to isolationism, and the conservatives are not weak.

In the past few years, as the economy has improved, conservatives have risen sharply.

Of course, this can also be seen as a reflection of the Nuland people on the last war.

No matter how loud Lofos blows the cowhide, as long as he can't convince voters that in the next big war, the Nuland Federation will not contribute troops, money, and effort, but the stupid good people who have not reaped the slightest benefit, there is no way to get voters to support his expansion strategy.

If Lofus wants to lose the election, at least in this direction, it is necessary to strive for the end of the war against the Narrow Empire as soon as possible, preferably within half a year, and then move to the strategic defense stage, take the initiative to show goodwill to the Newland Federation, and even sacrifice a part of the war dividends if necessary.

All in all, it is to convince the Nuland people that the Liangxia Empire is a friend, not an enemy.

Without an external threat, Nuland voters would vote for conservatives who advocate a policy of isolation!

Even if Lofus makes a comeback four years later, in the four years that the Republican president is in power, the Liangxia Empire will definitely be able to sweep the world!

No matter how powerful Lofos is, it is impossible for one country to fight the whole world!

The Praetorian Guards marched on the Ice Storm Peninsula in order to speed up the course of the war and strive to defeat the Narrow Imperial State within half a year.

However, how can we completely defeat the Narrow Empire?

Landing in the Imperial Kingdom of Sashit?

Thinking of this question, Bai Zhizhan was taken aback!

In all the battle plans, landing on the Sagi mainland is the next step, and there is no way to do it.

Could it be that the time has come when there is no choice?

The war has just begun, and if it can't be advanced according to plan now, who can guarantee that in a few years, the empire will be able to achieve final victory!?
