Father Mavie

The establishment of charitable foundations is of great benefit to elections.

The second prince used the election funds of the Liberal Party to improve his reputation. Ma Wei felt that this was proof that he had entered the core of the second prince's power.

The people in charge of the Manstein Charitable Foundation are Stewart and Jeweler Smith, but now that Mavi is here, Stewart intends to give up the position of the person in charge. This is not a good job in the first place. Fortunately, he was scolded, and Stewart didn't want to take over from the beginning.

"Nicholas, since you are here, the position of president will be given to you."

"Stull, I'm not here to snatch your position as president."

"I know." Stuart said, "It's just the chairman of a foundation, and it will be disbanded after the election. If you want to run it for a long time, you should manage it yourself, or entrust a special person in charge."

A dedicated person in charge?

This sentence reminded Ma Wei that although the Manstein Potion Company does not have any extra manpower to manage the foundation, they can look for foreign aid!
More and more members of the Aurora Club have sneaked into London. Ma Wei has not been worried about arranging places for them. In addition, large sums of money have to be transferred back to China. It is too easy to be found out if they go directly to the accounts of the Potion Company. Shareholders are staring at it, and financial statements are also announced at regular meetings.
It is easy to simply transport the money back, but how to exchange the money for needed supplies is a rare thing.

Now several countries in the Central Continent have issued a blockade order to the Romanov Kingdom, and no longer export goods to the Romanov Kingdom, and the goods of the Romanov Kingdom cannot be sold. Only some small countries in the Eastern and Southern Continents are willing to cooperate with the Romanov Kingdom. The Romanov Kingdom continues to do business, but in view of the current situation, many small countries have asked the Romanov Kingdom to reduce commodity prices, wanting to take advantage of the opportunity to suck blood.

The economy and the people's livelihood are the lifeblood of a country, and they are indispensable. Once the trade foundation is shaken, the entire country's economy will be in trouble. The situation facing the Romanov Kingdom is very serious. Fortunately, the Manstein Potion Company has become The leader of the potion market is making a lot of money every day, and the dividends Ma Wei gets are also starting to feed back to the church.

Although there is money, it is meaningless if the money is not exchanged for materials. Under the circumstances that countries restrict transactions with the Romanov Kingdom, the Manstein Charity Foundation can just assume the status of buying a house and purchase materials Afterwards, it will be transported back to the Romanov Kingdom by the company established by Dino in the Southern Continent. In this way, it will be able to perfectly avoid the ripping off by the small Eastern Continent.

At the same time, making good use of the status of the Manstein Charitable Foundation can also reasonably avoid taxes, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Thinking of this, Ma Wei felt that it is not a bad thing to hold a charity foundation in his hands, but...
He glanced at Stuart, hesitated and said: "Stuart, I don't want you to think that I will compete with you for a foundation."

"Nicholas, you are thinking too much." Stuart laughed: "Although the current charitable foundation is marked with the name of Manstein, the actual funder is the election funds of the Liberal Party, and it will also be controlled by the Liberal Party during the election. After the end, there is no need for the foundation to exist, even if you don't become the president, I will leave."

"I'm relieved if you think so." Mavi nodded.

Stuart picked up a cigar and said, "It's just a small foundation. It's nothing compared to your potion company. We'll go through the handover procedures after the election is over."

"it is good."

"By the way, there is news from the election committee that your approval rating has increased significantly in the past two days." Stuart opened the drawer, took out a document and handed it to Ma Wei: "There are people from us in the committee, you can Knowing the approximate support rate, the second prince actually wants to play tricks on it, as long as the votes are secured, the support rate will naturally not be a problem, but unfortunately there are people from the eldest prince in the committee, so... dare not act rashly, for fear of being caught."

"It's good to know the approval rate." Ma Wei is not greedy at all. He feels that since he is running for parliament, he must use his real skills to win the support of the people and manipulate votes behind his back.
It's really disgusting.

Looking through the documents, Mavi found that his approval rate in the Lambeth district had risen to 15%, which was terribly low compared to Donal Pat's 61%, but it was already higher than the single-digit approval rate in the previous few days. There is a clear upward trend.

You know, in the last general election, Donnel Pat won the seat of Congress with 58000 votes and a support rate of 73%!

This time, Ma Wei's departure to participate in the general election has already had a considerable impact on Donnel. The general election will last for a while, and it is not impossible to make a comeback.

"The second prince suggests that you take the time to go to Lambeth to give a few public speeches, and tell the public what you will do after the election. Donnel Pat has been busy giving speeches in recent days." Stuart waved his hand and said, "Actually, it is for People draw big cakes, whoever draws well will have a higher approval rate."

Levine interjected at this moment: "If the elected congressmen fail to do what they promised during the election campaign, won't they be abandoned by the people in the next general election?"

"In theory, this is the case, but in fact, the people are very forgetful. If you make a big cake for them, even if you don't do it, they will forget it quickly. Of course, there are many people with strong memories. It is also very easy to deal with. Conduct a public opinion survey before the term of office, and if you are dissatisfied with you, you will personally come to the door to apologize and express your attitude, so that the vast majority of dissent can be eliminated."

Stewart talked eloquently: "You are a member of parliament, a big figure in the eyes of the public, and there is a natural psychological gap. Just imagine, if you are an ordinary citizen, rushing around for three meals a day, and suddenly one day the king visits and tells you that you will make up for it. I hope you can give him a chance and continue to support him, do you disagree?"

Levin and Junia looked at each other, speechless for a moment.

"Even if we win the second general election, what should we do in the third election? If we can't fulfill our promise, the people will definitely not accept it!"

"It's very simple!"

Stuart spread his hands, and said confidently: "You all know that failure to fulfill the promise will reduce the approval rate, why not use the power during the term of office to do some superficial engineering? In this way, not only can the people's mouths be blocked, but also openly Give a gorgeous report, let the people think you are a good congressman who does practical things, and then vote for you!"

"As for accidents, for example, when the people's complaints against you are too great and it is irreversible, you can change it! Six-legged dogs are hard to find, and people with two legs are everywhere! Donnel is no longer a member, and Dinar, Lunar! Wouldn’t it be enough to repeat the previous operation?”

It takes five years for a general election, and ten years for two terms. It is not easy to be elected as a member. There are too many things that can be done in five years. , It can't touch the core interests of capital, and giving some small favors can make the people grateful.

This is the biggest difference between the Kingdom of Windsor and the Kingdom of Romanov. Not only is the difference in ideology, but also in the way the government is formed, the development directions of the two countries are destined to be diametrically opposite.

"I took the newspaper back with me."

"Oh."

Picking up the first draft of the unpublished newspaper on the table, Ma Wei planned to go home and read it slowly. It is naturally a good thing to know the news earlier.

On the way home, I stopped by the market to buy the ingredients for dinner. Tonight Ma Wei plans to cook fish soup to clean up Xiao Hei.

Now that his identity has been revealed, Xiao Hei doesn't need to stay with Mr. Steward. Although he still needs to continue to be responsible for the affairs of the experimental base, he is much more free than before, and it's okay to go home for dinner occasionally.

Hearing that fish soup was about to be boiled, Xiao Hei immediately raised his tail and walked on top of the eaves, following far behind Ma Wei and the others.

When he got home, Ma Wei took off his coat. Even in summer, the temperature in London is still cold, without any warmth in summer. This is also related to the smog that covers London. It's hard to be hot.

Rolling up his sleeves and putting on his apron, Ma Wei moved a small stool and sat at the back door to scrape the scales of the fish. By the way, he cut open the belly of the fish and took out the internal organs. He bought plaice, a kind of flounder, for steaming. Besides, There are also headless trout, sea bass, trout for pan frying, and sea bass for soup.
Seafood is probably the most popular thing in the Kingdom of Windsor. Fresh fish can be seen everywhere in the market, and the price is so cheap that ordinary people can afford it. The premise is that they can cook.

According to the time-honored recipes in the Kingdom of Windsor, the best way to cook fish is probably to fry it.

Although Xiaohei does not refuse anyone, considering its taste, Ma Wei still bought sea bass to make soup for it. The meaty and less thorny sea bass is fried in a pan until golden on both sides, and then boiled water and onion and ginger are added to make a white soup.
"Dad, if it's soup, why do you fry it first?"

Junia, who smelled the fragrance, tiptoed by the stove and watched Ma Wei cooking curiously. Compared with her previous height, which could not even touch the stove, she grew a little taller.

"Because the soup can be boiled into white by frying it in advance, boiled water must be added to the fried fish and boiled over high heat."

Ma Wei covered the pot, washed his hands, and poured himself a cup of tea: "This stewed soup looks better and tastes more delicious. You will know after a while."

"Ok!"

Picking up the newspaper on the table, Ma Wei read it while drinking tea. In addition to the report on the Manstein Charity Foundation, there were several news items that interested him.

[Caesar repaired the Colosseum, restarted the gladiator duel, and said the famous saying - 'Great Rome cannot live without the Colosseum! ']

[Citigroup Conflict Escalates!The northern battlefield is retreating steadily!Suspected mercenaries appear! 】

[The Northwest Front Army of the Frederick Kingdom invaded the capital of the Principality of Biliji!The Principality of Biliji is destroyed!Most of the Rhine Union has collapsed! 】

Caesar reopened the Colosseum, probably in order to awaken the blood of the people of the Roman Republic. Whether it is animal fighting or gladiatorial fighting, it is an activity that can make the audience's adrenaline soar. If it is used properly, it may really activate the declining blood of the Sardinians '.

The idea is good, but the specific effect depends on the reality. After all, the current Roman Republic is different from before. Slavery has been abolished long ago. The so-called beast fighting and gladiatorial fighting can only develop in the direction of extraordinary creatures.
Could it be that Caesar wanted to throw the extraordinary creatures he captured into the arena and let them kill each other, just like the Church of the Three Fate Goddesses?

If so
Mavi didn't comment on the good or bad of this matter, and it was indeed a shortcut to what Caesar wanted to achieve.

The war in the United States of America has entered a white-hot stage. All kinds of new weapons emerge in endlessly, and the speed of updating and iterating is astonishing. Often, the newly invented weapons have not had time to equip the army on a large scale, and more advanced weapons will appear. History The process is faster than Ma Wei's cognition, and it changes with each passing day.

Mavi doesn't know whether the emergence of new weapons has anything to do with the gods, and maybe it has something to do with the ancient gods' concealment of history.

Judging from the battle reports, the war in the United States of America will not end in the short term. On the contrary, the unification war of the Kingdom of Frederick is in full swing. The destruction of the Principality of Birigi means that the Kingdom of Frederick has officially won the Northwest Territory of the Rhine Union. The First Bonaparte Empire borders.

With the loss of the buffer zone, friction between the Kingdom of Frederick and the First Bonaparte Empire is bound to increase, but William V and Prime Minister Bismarck still ordered the army to invade the capital of the Duke of Biliji and annex all the land in the northern part of the Rhine Union. As a result, only a few small duchies in the south remained in the Rhine Union.

Unification seems to be the general trend. The strange thing is that Napoleon did not intend to stop it. No matter how the small principality asked for help, he would not be moved, let alone the Roman Republic in the south. Caesar had no time to manage the Kingdom of Frederick. There's a bunch of unresolved issues!
Ma Wei turned a page back, and a line of large characters came into view:
【That man is back! 】

[On May 5, Sultan Zambu IX of the Voodoo Kingdom announced his abdication! 】

[On May 5, Dambala, the god of voodoo, recalled Amalik Nasser Saladin! 】

[On May 5, Saladin ascended the throne in Cairo and became the new Sultan of the Voodoo Kingdom! 】

Looking at the news in the newspaper, Ma Wei's face gradually became serious.

First Napoleon Bonaparte, Caesar, and now Saladin
Although it was the Witchcraft Cult in the Southern Continent who summoned Saladin, it would not be able to affect the Central Continent for the time being, but this was not a good sign.

Who is Saladin?

The ruthless man who established the Ayyubid dynasty and resisted the attack of the Apocalypse gods 700 years ago!
In that era, Saladin was the most dazzling star, and he also left a strong mark in history, but...
This time, his opponents are Napoleon and Caesar!
The feats of these two great emperors are not inferior to him at all, even more dazzling than him!
Ma Wei felt that it was probably because the Witch Cult saw the benefits brought by the rebirth of Napoleon and Caesar, so they chose to resurrect Saladin
The third resurrected monarch has appeared, can the fourth be far behind?
