Script, Actors, and the Movie Star

Some distance from Lin Qi and his group, inside the Presidential Palace in Morton Special District, the president sat somewhat disheveled at the conference table.

He ripped off his tie and tore open his collar, leaving it wide open so that you could even see some chest hair hidden inside.

His left arm was resting on the table, his sleeve rolled up high, his entire head resting on his hairy forearm, tilted to the side, his brow furrowed in worry. The cigarette he held in his other hand was almost finished, leaving long trails of ash.

He had been holding this position for a long time, and he felt that his brain had become a mess and he had lost the ability to think.

Seated around the conference table were several other people, including his staff and some cabinet members.

Suddenly, the president, who seemed to be about to fall asleep, jolted awake. He looked at his right hand and at the cigarette butt that had slowly rolled off the table and onto the floor, scattering a few sparks. He had burned his hand.

The pain brought him back to his senses. He wiped his face and looked at the others. "Gentlemen, we are in a very dangerous situation. Congress has accepted the impeachment case. What should we do next?"

When rumors started circulating that someone wanted to impeach the president, the process had already begun. Otherwise, such rumors wouldn't have surfaced. It was essentially a reminder to the president that someone was targeting him.

These secret messages only circulate when things are in motion and momentum needs to be built.

According to information from Parliament, the Progressive Party and the Socialist Party have joined forces, and they have rallied many members of the House of Representatives to their side.

Campaigning in Upper and Lower Houses has always existed, and people have become accustomed to it. However, this also makes things more uncertain, because even Conservative Party might side with the Progressive Party.

The reason is simple: if impeaching the president can guarantee the Conservative Party's positive image in the eyes of the public, they will not hesitate to abandon the incumbent president and choose to stand on the opposite side of the president.

This may sound ridiculous, but it's true. There can be many presidents, but there are only so many states and so many votes. If you lose a vote today, it's like your opponent is leading by two votes, and the gap will only widen. There's no need to be tied to any one president.

The president's staff were also dejected at this time. In fact, their policies had really worked. The International Community, including the Defeated Country, stood on their side and attacked the shameless behavior of the Victorious Country alliance.

This has achieved some results, at least allowing the Federal to begin making its voice heard internationally. However, further efforts are needed to address the remaining issues.

However, the Progressive Party members might not give them that chance. They directly launched Impeachment Proposal, wanting to make the president lose face and leave the position!

The silence continued until the president suddenly picked up his glass and smashed it aside.

The cup bounced on the thick carpet, spilling its drink, but it didn't break; it just stained a patch of carpet. He was now both angry and felt innocent.

At this point, the Chief of Staff knew he had to say something; he was a key figure in the group, and he had to make a statement.

He glanced at the expressionless faces of his colleagues around him, then cleared his throat. "Your Excellency, we'd better act immediately. We need more supporters..."

Before he could finish speaking, the president interrupted him, asking in a somewhat sarcastic tone, "Do we still have supporters now?"

After that question was asked, the room fell silent again. No one spoke, because everyone knew that they no longer had any supporters.

Whether it was political allies or capitalists, they had all abandoned them.

Politically, it has been proven that isolationism has significant value at certain times, but it has caused enormous drawbacks to overall development. At this point, circling around the president is clearly a foolish move, not even worthy of being called opportunism.

Because he has already lost, the outcome is already obvious.

Economically, the unprecedented financial disaster has caused heavy losses for many of the president's supporters, who will no longer support him.

They donated that money not to bankrupt themselves, but to gain more in return. The current president obviously can't give them that, and they won't waste a single penny on the president anymore.

There may still be some people who support the president, but as the Impeachment Proposal begins, this minority will also be swept up by public opinion and become part of the mainstream argument. They will also walk the streets like many others, holding flags against the president and marching.

They are isolated and helpless, just like the policies they have implemented.

This was actually predictable; when they were unable to quickly change the current state of the Federal, they were destined to be abandoned.

The president sighed, waved his hand, and dismissed everyone else except the Chief of Staff.

After the door closed again, the president picked up his wine glass and drank it down in large gulps. This was the first time in years that he had indulged his desires. "Would it be more dignified if I submitted my resignation to Congress?"

After all, being ousted from this position versus leaving voluntarily might even garner some public sympathy and leave behind a political legacy, so resigning seems to be a better option.

At that moment, the Chief of Staff already understood what the president meant. He could leave the position without resistance, and even leave more voluntarily, but he wanted to exchange his departure for some value. That's what politicians are like.

The next day, the president's Chief of Staff at the farm of the Progressive Party Committee Chairman.

Everyone has their own hobbies. Some people like to play golf on the lawn, even though the ball never goes into the hole.

Some people also like to grow things and raise livestock in the countryside.

The chairman of the Progressive Party was such an old man, a politician who came from a farming background.

Standing by the cowshed, watching this man in his sixties, who was almost at the pinnacle of politics, personally carrying a large pile of dried green fodder and stepping on cow dung to feed it into the trough, the Chief of Staff almost vomited.

Actually, cow dung doesn't smell as bad as human excrement, though it doesn't taste very good either. But it's still excrement, and the old man just stepped on it without a care. Just thinking about that soft, squishy texture made the Chief of Staff feel nauseous.

After watching the old man work on the farm for more than ten minutes, he rinsed his rubber overalls and led the Chief of Staff to the old-fashioned house next to the farm.

"If you could lend a hand, we could get to the point much faster!" The old man sarcastically remarked on the Chief of Staff's lack of respect for elders. Some people just have this habit; they start by mocking others, even if they don't actually mean much harm.

The Chief of Staff smiled and said, "I'm allergic to cow dung."

This statement startled the old man. He pointed at his Chief of Staff and said, "This is not a good excuse; it's ridiculous."

The Chief of Staff did not continue to refute, but the old man said, "Tell me, what do you want from me?"

"Your Excellency the President is willing to voluntarily submit your resignation!"

The straightforward questions and answers did not surprise the old man too much. He had seen this kind of thing countless times in history. Moreover, as the chairman of the Progressive Party Committee, his position was second only to the Progressive Party Leader, making him the undisputed second person in the Progressive Party.

Sometimes his status even surpassed that of the leaders of the Progressive Party, since there are often leaders, but there is only one chairman.

His face was expressionless as he looked at his Chief of Staff. "You've never experienced struggle, so you'll never know how moving and precious a hard-won success can be."

"It can unite people, making them one of us, do you understand what I mean?"

The Chief of Staff nodded after listening. "I understand what you mean..."

Before he could finish speaking, the old man interrupted him, "If you understand what I mean, you should tell him that there are two things: dignity and benefits. He can only choose one, not both."

"The Federal is facing unprecedented troubles, but it is also a great opportunity. He may be a guilty man now, but many years later, people will realize some of his merits."

The old man's words gave the Chief of Staff a sudden, enlightening feeling, as if the dark clouds had parted to reveal the bright moonlight.

Success is precious because it is extremely difficult to achieve, and there may be many failures along the way, which is why people cherish it.

The simplest way for the Federal to rise from the Nirvana is to create an enemy, then unite everyone to defeat that enemy, thus providing an excuse and reason for rebellion.

If the President wants any benefits, then not only should he not submit his resignation, but he should also continue to fight the Progressive Party and the opposition. The fiercer the fight, the closer the unity of the Federal will be, and the easier it will be for the Union to regain its vitality in the future.

But if he wants to maintain a respectable image, he will not only gain nothing, but may even become the biggest stain and scandal in history.

The Chief of Staff's quick understanding of the old man wasn't surprising; that's their job. "If you understand, go tell that guy. Don't waste your time on me!"

That evening, after the Chief of Staff and the president had a long talk for more than an hour, the president issued an executive order late at night, deciding to deploy the National Security Committee to arrest some "rumor-mongers," which immediately caused an uproar throughout the Federal.

Some people even think the president has gone mad. Just because there were rumors of impeachment, he actually mobilized the National Security Committee. This is persecution!

This is a reign of terror! The National Security Committee's Secret Police were mobilized overnight, and many people were secretly arrested. The entire Federal was on edge!

That same evening, the Federal President's son, a relatively unknown member of the Conservative Party, was sent abroad as Diplomat.

Everything unfolded smoothly according to the script, and the audience was completely engrossed!
