Chapter 125: Victory and Defeat

"Congratulations, Lord Whip, it's unbelievable! I've looked at the previous predictions of various media outlets, and they all think that we will only get 210 seats at most. Two hundred and eighteen?! Hoho…… That's a brilliant victory, right? ”

The next day, still filming training scenes, with a few more supporting teammates, passing, shooting, etc., Song Ya will have fewer scenes than Mira, and in between filming, he finally contacted Underwood and warmly congratulated each other: "Everyone is saying that without you, we wouldn't have achieved this!" ”

"Haha, don't say that, APLUS, my comrades in the election campaign have made great efforts, and I'm just a humble whip in the House of Representatives." Underwood laughed and smirked, but could hear smugness.

"So...... We're the majority party in the House of Representatives now, so am I going to change my tune and call you Speaker Boss next year? Song Ya continued to pat himself on the back.

"No chance, there is still the leader of the House of Representatives party above, and the speaker is his." Underwood said.

"That's a pity, I think the current Grand Commander needs to repay you well."

With Sloan by his side to teach Washington's political trends, Song Ya actually knows that Underwood will most likely be his party whip next year, and the power of the caucus's internal committee may be much greater.

To put it mildly, "As long as the House of Representatives gets stuck in the Elephants' messy proposal budget, he's in a much better place." ”

"I haven't been in the whip for long, and everyone needs me to continue to push the parliament to vote, pass the bill, and the next four years will be the second term of the president, and without the pressure of re-election, he can finally do a big job and fulfill his campaign promise."

Underwood may be afraid that he will talk too much, so he will get vaccinated in advance, "Don't worry, APLUS, I will be idle soon and find a chance to talk about you, but not now, and it is not convenient to talk on the phone." ”

"Understandable. By the way, does Russell have any other ways to connect? I called his personal phone and campaign office and ......"

"Well, don't contact him just yet, his opponent is appealing the vote count, so he's going to be very busy in the near future and the timing is a little sensitive." Underwood hurriedly interrupted, seemingly not wanting to talk about Russell.

"Appeal? So there may be a change in the number of seats in the House of Representatives? Song Ya asked.

"It's impossible, it's just a routine refusal to admit defeat after the defeat of the elephant party." Underwood replied.

Hang up the phone, the old Larry over there just announced that one has passed, and the next one still has no task of his own, according to the plot, at this time, the heroine played by Mira is still a substitute for the team, and most of them have to train with the substitutes.

Most of the substitutes for the middle school team were crooked and cracked, with big fat men who were overweight and skinny monkeys with nerdy faces, and they lined up with Mira, and soon, 'Coach' R Lee Elmi used his spraying skills to yell and curse at their ears one by one, and his voice spread far and wide.

“Hey,APLUS。”

There is a Latino supporting actor who plays the main team and one of his best friends, and in reality, the actor who is a player from a nearby college team took the opportunity to touch the set and almost, "It looks like your technical moves are good, we have a friendly game here tomorrow, can you come too?" ”

Song Ya smiled and waved his hand.

"Okay, sorry to bother you." The other party had no choice but to leave.

If it weren't for the fact that the script of this play was 'written' by herself, Song Ya could actually do it without knowing the plot synopsis or the character's heart or anything, just complete the daily performance tasks step by step, and it is really easy to play the male protagonist with facial paralysis, especially this kind of youth film male protagonist whose acting skills are not good in the whole crew.

As a big star, Song Ya enjoys the best treatment as a big star, with parasols, reclining chairs and small tables resting not far behind the camera, and she can see the old Larry's monitor while drinking an iced Coke.

Ms. Sloane, wearing a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses, sat next to her, dialing the phone book and occasionally handing her phone over, "Wrangel." She said.

"Congressman Rrangel, I, APLUS, haha, congratulations on your successful re-election!"

Due to his investment in the inner city broadcaster, the Manhattan gang is in a much better position than after the loss of the Dinkins, and the nimble Langall has also re-established a relationship with them, which is equivalent to returning to the Manhattan gang.

He was also re-elected to the U.S. House of Representatives this year, and among the politicians he funded, in addition to him and Russell, many others were also re-elected, including three in the black caucus alone. Again, all are re-elected.

“Shxt! I choose once every two years, and I am tortured more and more every time. ”

Rrangel's vote rate was lower and lower each time, and he laughed and scolded directly on the phone.

In order to avoid competition from the powerful politicians of the Elephant Party, this party club was transferred to another black politician in New York State this year, and he was elected in the party stage by squeezing out a newcomer.

"Maybe it's time to look ahead to the Senate seat?" Anyway, it's always right to pick something nice.

"Haha, that's a bit difficult." Rangel laughed.

A bit difficult? With the unclear accounts of your campaign office and foundation, don't think about it in the next life, you are still sick than yourself, Song Ya complained in her heart.

"Jesse Jackson Jr."

After touting each other with Wrangel, Ms. Sloan quickly dialed another number, Jesse Jackson's son, who was also elected to the U.S. House of Representatives this year, triggering a chain reaction within the black Illinois caucus, which led to Michelle's husband running for Senate in the Illinois State Assembly.

He has a friendship with Jesse Jackson, but he is not very familiar with his son, although he also invested a sum of money in the other party through Aunt Susie's foundation.

In short, after this year's election, the Donkey politicians were in jubilation, whether it was the Grand Commander, the Deputy Commander, Underwood, Wrangel and Jesse Jackson Jr., all holding or participating in various victory rallies in the election.

Originally, it was also a good opportunity for me to show my face and expand my network, but now ......

"Sloane, you can go to Capitol Hill on my behalf and have a good chat with our whip."

Song Ya thought for a while and said: "Tell him that I am running out of patience, first asked me to wait for the end of the election, and now he wants me to wait for the end of the celebration, maybe next time he will shirk and say that he will wait until everyone takes office at the beginning of next year." ”

"OK, be nice, don't talk nonsense, don't run around, I'll be back soon." Sloan gave a pre-departure order.

"Don't worry."

After a series of formulaic congratulations, it was my turn to 'play'.

"I'm going to test your skills! Split into two teams and play against each other! Shirtless and clothed! ”

R Lee Elmi, who had a whistle around his neck, walked past the team members lined up, "You, bare-chested, you, on the other side." ”

The school team is not so particular, and those who take off their jerseys when they split the sides will go to the other team, in this scene Mila is in the C position, Song Ya is expressionless, standing in the queue with her head held high, acting as a perfect backdrop.

"Coach! I have to get dressed! ”

Mira, who was dressed as a man, was assigned to the bare-chested team, and naturally her clothes could not be taken off, so she quickly raised her hand to save it.

“What!?” R. Lee Elmi stood in front of her viciously.

"Uh, I'm allergic to the sun." Mira's acting skills are exaggerated nonsense.

"Haha!" Song Ya burst out laughing along with the other actors at the right time.

"Sunshine...... Allergic!? R Lee Elmi looked up at the sun and then up and down at Mira.

"Yes." Mira squeezed out an innocent look.

"There are people here who are allergic to the sun!" R. Lee Elmi looked at the others and said loudly.

"Hahaha!" Song Ya's physical work was more exaggerated, holding the shoulders of his teammates around him, and laughing backwards.

"Please......" Mira begged.

The school team is just an interest club that students participate in, and there is no need for the teacher to be too strict in his actions when there is no substitute for the pressure of inter-school competitions, and R Lee Elmi played the emotional passage that wanted to go crazy but held back very well, "OK, then you change to the clothes team." ”

"Thank you!" Mira screamed and cheered, but accidentally exposed the girl's shrill voice, "Ahem, thank you, coach." She immediately cleared her throat and muttered harshly.

"Cards!"

Old Larry shouted to stop, and then discussed with the photographer for a while, "Yes, this is over!" He announced loudly.

Meanwhile, at FoxNews' headquarters in Washington, the pot-bellied president, Roger Ayres, is in the control room, personally supervising the broadcast of the Elephant Party's candidate Bob Dole's defeat speech.

"Thankfully, we retained our majority in the Senate this year, and we can't go back to this useless old thing. He might as well continue to be his Senate majority leader, and from now on, he's nothing. ”

The atmosphere was very oppressive, and one of the senior executives behind him coldly ridiculed Bob Doll in the picture.

"The politicians who dare to stand up this year and fight for the Elephant Party are heroes, and even if they fail, he still deserves our respect." The other retorted.

"Failure? It's a rout, right? The electoral vote was 385 to 153, and we lost badly! ”

"So what? He's seventy-three years old, and where have the more popular politicians gone to hide? ”

The argument grew louder in the control room, and Roger Ayres wiped his nose, his fingertips covered in bright red blood.

And he has hemophilia......

"Shut up!"

He ignored all of this, and suddenly roared like a lion: "For four years from now, we can't let our enemies, the donkeys, the couple, the Arkansas Terrace, and the liberals, have a happy day!" We are going to attack them on every social issue, every scandal, and continue to attack them constantly! It wasn't until four years later that the real value of the rice country returned to the White House! ”

Nosebleeds gushed out with his roar, and as soon as the words fell, his huge body fell headlong on the broadcast platform.
