Chapter 622: Seeing People's Hearts


"You have to take the final responsibility."

Every morning, as soon as Xiao Ming enters the President's Office, he can hear the first greeting from the electronic screen.

These large Chinese characters will be fixed at the bottom of the screen, watching silently.

Him, reminded of his responsibilities.

Sometimes, when he relaxes for a moment, this sentence will even appear in his bedroom and become a good night message to him.

Needless to say, this is the work of Presidential Counselor Rose.

Her position is equivalent to the chief steward of the presidential palace, while Minister of Administration Wanruo is equivalent to the chief steward of the Republic.

The two first ladies, one inside and one outside, became Xiao Ming's biggest helpers in managing the country, and also managed his work and life in an orderly and meticulous manner.

The Republic is being rebuilt, and everything is waiting to be done.

The two First Ladies have even more worries than the President.

This, of course, also affects the couple's life.

Every time Xiao Ming enters a wife's room to sleep, he is originally very excited, but they take their work to bed and discuss national affairs with him.

It made him lose interest and yawn profusely, but he did not dare to protest.

Who said he was the president who took the final responsibility?

For everyone, at the expense of his family, Xiao Ming finally realized the hard work of those great men in the old days, and also understood their troubles that were not humane to outsiders.

Now, Xiao Ming's life is very regular.

He gets up at six o'clock every morning and walks around the Liberty Square for half an hour with Huo Huo in hand.

At this time, the presidential palace has not yet been opened to the public, and most people have not gotten up, so it is rare to be quiet.

This is the most relaxing time of Xiao Ming's day.

He doesn't think about anything, he doesn't have to think about anything, he just plays with Huohuo.

At half past six, he and Huohuo returned to the presidential bedroom.

The two first ladies had already gotten up and freshened up.

At seven o'clock, the first family sat around a table, three people and one dog, and had breakfast together.

A typical Chinese breakfast, either white porridge and steamed buns, or soy milk and fried dough sticks, is provided by President Xiaozao.

The working hours of the Presidential Palace are at 8:30.

Xiao Ming will enter the second floor of the main building at 7:30.

He will run in the gym first, jogging first to allow breakfast to be digested, and gradually speeding up until he runs wildly.

At eight o'clock, staff from various departments of the presidential palace took their places one after another, and no one disturbed the president in the gym.

Xiao Ming enjoyed this hour of alone time and was used to thinking about national affairs while running.

After finishing his run, he took ten minutes to shower and change clothes.

He entered the office on time at 8:30 and started his day's work refreshed.

The office assistant will report today's schedule to Xiao Ming.

With a quick glance, he will know today's work clearly.

His time is divided into periods.

Only half of the time is actually sitting in the office, and the other half is spent going out for inspections.

Most inspections have no practical significance.

In peacetime, there are not many major events for which he takes final responsibility.

Specific responsibilities can be assumed by various government departments.

Xiao Ming's inspection work is very simple: meeting with public opinion representatives, awarding medals to model workers, observing military training or viewing the results of labor.

His work in the office is also very streamlined: his assistant sends work briefings to the electronic screen, and he reviews them one by one.

In order to take care of Xiao Ming's limited English reading ability, the briefings are all written in Chinese.

There are usually three briefings, the first is a domestic affairs report, that is, the situation in the capital and the four major steam cities; the second is an international affairs report, that is, intelligence on the empire; the third is an army affairs report, from each army report.

His request was that no bad news should be concealed, and anyone who reported good news but not bad news should be severely held accountable.

Of course, the more neutral news is about the progress of production and construction.

What Xiao Ming is most concerned about is the construction of the army.

This is the foundation of his life and the foundation of the Republic.

In addition, he also reads some news bulletins, some of which are gossip news.

Wherever there are people, there is gossip.

Even in the last days, people will never forget gossip.

And gossip is usually the truest reflection of people’s lives.

This is something Xiao Ming finds slightly interesting in his boring daily work.

He especially likes to read gossip news about himself.

This is not because he is narcissistic, but because he gradually pays attention to his own image after becoming president.

Somewhat ironically, he never cared about his image before, when his reputation was very good.

But now that he pays attention to his image, people have a different view of him.

The source seems to be his strict implementation of the armistice agreement and the repatriation of stowaways.

Perhaps because this is the contrast between his before and after images, from a banner of freedom to the ruler of the republic.

Freedom is the founding concept of the Republic, which naturally includes freedom of speech.

The freed slaves in Liberty City had quite a bit of criticism towards Xiao Ming, and this sentiment would naturally spread to the rest of the people.

In times of peace, maintaining stability has become the focus of national governance.

Although Xiao Ming was unwilling in his heart, after cabinet discussions, the internal affairs force, also known as the police force, was established on the basis of the presidential guard.

To put it nicely, it is to listen to the voices of the people; to put it worst, it is to monitor the people.

Since the Presidential Guard was formerly the Guard Company, the Second Battalion Commander naturally became the top officer of the Internal Affairs Force and was directly responsible to the President.

Even though he is overwhelmed by a large amount of information every day, Xiao Ming still spares fifteen minutes to watch the surveillance video submitted by the second battalion commander.

Among the citizens, there is also a mixture of good and bad.

There are many people who pursue absolute freedom.

They will make up some jokes to ridicule the young and inexperienced president, and even demonize him.

For example, the Republic vigorously promotes the system of monogamous marriage, but the president is monogamous.

It is clear that the flashlight only shines on others and not on himself.

Another example is that the people Xiao Ming brought from the East were all placed in important positions, which was suspected of nepotism.

Xiao Ming laughed off these strange words and did not take any measures.

After all, the internal affairs forces of the Republic were not the secret police of the empire, and their mission was to suppress the people.

There is an old saying from my motherland, which changes people's hearts over time.

Ask yourself and have a clear conscience, what is he doing with these gossips?

What troubles Xiao Ming is not the strange noises among the people, but the reading time once a week, which is the day when he sleeps in the study.

That night, after dinner, he would go into the study, pick a physical book from the bookshelf, and read by night.

They are all simplified Chinese books.

It is difficult to find which museum Rose can find them from.

They are mainly history books and personal biographies.

Rose also considered that Xiao Ming's academic qualifications were too low, and theoretical books on politics and economics were too profound for him, and they were entertaining and entertaining, making it easier for him to absorb them.

Xiao Ming learned about world history from the past to the present and the outside world.

What he liked most were the biographies of great figures in modern times.

In fact, reading is not a headache.

What is really a headache is writing my thoughts after reading.

Rose forbids him from typing on the computer.

He must write by hand, and each article must be no less than 500 words.

Xiao Ming could only use his crooked words to clumsily write down his thoughts on reading each book.

Although his handwriting has not improved, his ideas about governing the country have advanced by leaps and bounds under such theoretical study and daily work practice.

The words of one of the great men stuck in his mind: "The biggest criminals in a country are the cowards who throw their power on the ground and let some hysterical lunatics pick it up."

Therefore, when one day, Xiao Ming saw several liberal elements criticizing him in a surveillance video submitted by the internal affairs force, saying that his ambition was not only to be a president, but also to be emperor, he decided to take action.

He did not hold a cabinet meeting, but issued orders directly to the second battalion commander.

As the president, he can still decide on this "little matter" alone.

The Second Battalion Commander was the subordinate who most unconditionally followed Xiao Ming's orders after Lin Juxin.

It was God's will that he and Jenny got married.

This operation was called "Operation Summer Thunder" because it was in summer.

Based on the clues they obtained, the internal affairs forces arrested a group of extreme liberal elements, charged them with treason, and expelled them from the country.

They were never allowed to enter the Republic.

Naturally, these free elements cannot defect to the Fourth Reich, which has even less freedom.

They can only wander around the European continent where nuclear corpses are rampant, which is almost equivalent to being sentenced to death.

After "Operation Xia Lei", Xiao Ming won the reputation of an iron-blooded president, and the worst expected riots did not occur.

Of course, the timing of the action was also chosen well.

The four major steam cities of the Republic had just passed the lean period of crops and ushered in the first big harvest.

When the country is prosperous and the people are happy, there will be less ground for the spread of strange rumors.

At the same time, the people in the resettlement camp officially became citizens, joined the work, were full of joy, and were grateful to Xiao Ming, and the voice of praise once again became the mainstream.

Today, Xiao Ming's heart is calm and he has fully adapted to the position of president.

Under the influence of the peak of power, some of his hidden habits have gradually emerged, such as being stubborn, paranoid, and controlling everything.

His aura is no different from the strongman presidents of the old days.

In public, he gradually became expressionless, no longer smiling, like a rock, unselfish.

He knows that the people are more obedient to an iron-blooded president than to a smiling president.

When he entered any room, the moment he stepped into the door, all the sounds suddenly dropped until they became quiet and solemn, and everyone looked excited, uneasy and uneasy.

He also knew that people would retreat under his sharp gaze, and no one dared to come within three meters of him, which was his psychological safety distance.

When he presided over a cabinet meeting, the seven cabinet ministers all became very serious, unlike before when they would joke around.

He is becoming more and more competent, thinking quickly, making decisive decisions, and working selflessly.

This proves that the leader has not misjudged his successor.

Xiao Ming went from trying hard to maintain the image of the president to completely becoming an iron-blooded president in just a few months.

He seems to be a natural leader.

Those who felt it most deeply were the two first ladies.

Rose and Wanruo's joy and relief at their husband's rapid growth gradually turned into resentment and regret:
