    "I don't think the commander wanted to deceive his soldiers. Faced with a desperate situation, he gave his soldiers hope and continued walking for three days and three nights. If they were lucky and found water and food, they would be able to survive.  "Hoke quickly smiled again, and he always responded very quickly.

    Wang Lei used this story to try to make everyone believe that Hawke was the commander-in-chief and that his plans were like drawing cakes to satisfy hunger. Although they looked good, they were actually all fake.

    Hawke, however, felt that the story chosen by Wang Lei was not very good. He even admired the commander very much because he used people's hearts very skillfully: "Although it was not successful in the end, they would have died long ago if they had not satiated their hunger."

    Wang Lei glanced at him, waggled his fingers and shook his head: "No, no, no, according to the basic rules of survival in the wild and the operational regulations of the US military, when encountering bad situations, you cannot take risks easily, you should retreat, or  Stand still and wait for help.Ą±

    "The commander-in-chief was gambling, but unfortunately he lost the gamble and ruined his soldiers. If they had returned in time or stayed where they were for reinforcements, the situation might not have been like this."

    The two people had a verbal spat, and Hawke found that Wang Lei's words were also very sharp. The young man was flexible and could always find a suitable angle to fight back.

    Hawke is not a good person either. He has experienced various situations and is very skillful in using various methods to change the subject and avoid the important. The two people fought evenly.

    Hawke has been the mayor of the town for two years, which is his advantage. Through work, he has many opportunities to come into contact with the residents of the town. Many people know him and leave a good impression on him.

    It is also a disadvantage, there will always be people who are dissatisfied with his work.

    Last time he ran for town mayor, Hawke did make a promise to lead Braddock to new life.

    But after taking office, he discovered that it was really difficult to do this.  The decline of the town is inevitable. The steel industry has reached its bottom, the population has decreased, and it lacks competitiveness. Only ghosts will invest here.

    There are also those damn public facilities. They once provided services to 30,000 people. Their large scale and long history mean that maintenance costs are extremely expensive. The townĄŻs finances are overwhelmed and it has no ability to carry out other construction.

    It would be unfair to say that Hawke has done nothing in his two years in office.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUT THE WEST

    Hawke is also trying to change this situation, such as closing some large and useless public facilities that are barely used, knocking down some abandoned buildings, and building new neighborhoods.

    The worst thing is that every time his plan has to be discussed by the town council, time and time again, and sometimes even voted by the entire town residents, and is often rejected, which makes the progress of his plan slow.

    Hawke was right. He needed time. Originally, he was not worried. If it didn't work in two years, there would be another two years. His plan would only gradually take effect during his second term.

    Wang LeiĄŻs sudden appearance made him feel in danger. He didnĄŻt think he would lose, but this guy was like a troublemaker, and he was likely to cause those who opposed him to express their opinions and cause more trouble.

    This time they met by chance, and the confrontation between the two didn't last long. Hawke stared at Wang Lei's age, while Wang Lei stared at Hawke's mediocrity in the past two years.

    Relying on the community concept and outstanding performance, Wang Lei made everyone believe that an eighteen-year-old boy can be very mature; while Hawke's plan still has the support of some people, and they hope to give Hawke more time.

    The two of them each won some points, and Wang Lei also got three signatures, Eric, Judd, and another silver-haired Latino lady, Grace, who are all enthusiastic participants in community activities.

    Wang Lei took the time to read the presidential letter. Their positions were originally neutral, but under Wang Lei's inspiration and the influence of the "Community Star" halo, they all became Wang Lei's supporters. Eric  He and Grace are only first-level supporters, but Judd is a second-level supporter, which means he has a good impression of Wang Lei.

    Things like this are so exciting!  Aura can affect a person's stance, as can hard work in reality.  The presidential book also divides neutrals into three levels, namely reverse swingers, centrists and leaning swingers.

    Before Wang Lei met them, Eric, Judd and Grace were all staunch centrists and had no inclination toward him. It was Wang Lei's speech that made them lean toward him, and under the influence of the halo, they became him.  supporters.

    Wang Lei even felt that it was difficult to distinguish whether such a change was the effect of the halo or the effect of his efforts?  In any case, only by continuous efforts can he achieve success.After a brief confrontation, neither Wang Lei nor Hawke gained an overwhelming advantage. Hawke left the medical center, while Wang Lei continued to stay at the door, waiting for the people inside to come out and collect signatures from them.

    Eric and Judd took the initiative to stay, and Eric's big mouth always let out ugly laughter: "Haha, I like to participate in public events the most. You see, I can be a volunteer and help you collect signatures.  "

    Eric is indeed enthusiastic. Whenever someone walks out of the door of the medical center, he will greet them, stop them, hand over the flyer for Wang Lei's candidacy - an A4 paper printed in black and white, and then explain to them and let them  Sign the candidate form.

    Most of those people know Eric. His success rate is very high. Only a few people will refuse to sign. They think that an 18-year-old boy running for mayor is a joke, or they donĄŻt know Wang Lei, so now  Unable to provide signature.

    There are also people who have not registered to vote, and their signatures are useless.

    Even so, in just half a day, Wang Lei got more than twenty signatures at the medical center, completing the task of collecting signatures one day in advance. As long as he waited until his birthday and handed in the form, he could officially register as a candidate.  People, participate in the election.

    However, Wang Lei has not stopped campaigning. These signatures do not mean anything, and the voting day is not far away. Compared with Hawke, who everyone knows, he still has a lot to do.

    Counting Judd's vote, Wang Lei's final vote count is now only ten. After his first confrontation with Hawke, he also knew how difficult that person was, so he had to work harder to catch up.  opponent, and then surpass him.

    In the afternoon, Wang Lei continued to the medical center and changed the signature collection to self-promotion. He wanted more people to know that he would participate in the election. If they had any questions, he had to explain in person.

    The biggest problem he encountered was his age. Can an 18-year-old really lead a town of 3,000 people?  Fortunately, Wang Lei was well prepared, and he had a lot of information to prove that it was possible for him to be eighteen years old, or even eleven years old.

    He also needs to explain to the other party his campaign platform, what he will do and what goals he will achieve if he serves as Braddock's mayor.

    To put it bluntly, itĄŻs just like drawing a big pie.

    And Demon King HawkeĄŻs counterattack came faster and more violently than expected.  In the afternoon of that day, people began to distribute Hawke's campaign materials in many places, including the medical center; by night, Hawke's campaign posters could be seen everywhere on the streets of Braddock, almost overwhelming.

    The most eye-catching one is a poster that is almost the size of an A0 paper. It is printed in full color. The main body of the picture is a full-length portrait of Hawke. He is in a straight suit and the background is the most famous study hall building of the University of Pittsburgh.  , he looks gentle, wise and courageous.

    On the poster, a short campaign slogan is very eye-catching, "Hoke, accumulate more and gain more.";
