Since the Dark Night organization has been planning for a long time, the number of Evolvers supporting President Harrison far exceeds that of his competitor Mike. Although the results have not yet been announced, President Harrison's re-election is a foregone conclusion, and it's just a matter of waiting for Congress to announce the results.
The voting period that lasted for more than a month finally ended, and all the major star regions sent the counted votes to the capital star.
On August 10, Lu Tingyu, Harrison and others prepared to return to the capital star to carry out the final strategic deployment.
The night before departure, Lu Tingyu found Moer privately and asked in a low voice: "Moer, are you going back with us?"
"No, I want to stay here." Moore looked towards the cave, his eyes indescribably gentle. "I'm an A-level healing guide, and I can't help much if I go to the capital planet. It's better for me to stay with him. I don't want to leave him here alone."
Lu Tingyu knew very well what "he" Moore was talking about.
Lu Tingyu glanced at the golden eagle hiding in the cave. During this period, Mor would come to see him every day, carefully bandage his wounds with the spider silk given by the spider queen, and feed him some fruits. Although he didn't like to eat much, Mor always insisted and treated him as a "human".
That was the person he liked, not an ugly mutant.
Lu Tingyu whispered, "Even though he has become like this, you still stick with him... You have worked so hard."
Moore smiled and said, "General Lu, you're welcome. It is my personal wish to stay and take care of him. If possible in the future, I hope you can find a way to cure him. Just in case..."
At this point, Moore looked a little disappointed, but his eyes were firm: "If he can't be cured, I will stay on Red Spider Star and accompany him for the rest of his life."
Lu Tingyu felt a pang of bitterness in his heart. He gently patted Moore's shoulder and said, "We will definitely find a way."
Except for Moore, all other members of the Falcon Special Forces followed General Lu and the President back to the Capital Planet in secret.
There are only a few days left, and they must make preparations for the final battle as soon as possible.
Marshal Qin Xiao had already arranged everything and was meeting them on the capital planet. When the two sides met, they quickly discussed the plan.
No information can leak out in this operation, so the participants must be carefully selected and kept strictly confidential. It is best if they are elite troops that can be trusted. All the special agents of the Lu and Xie families are also dispatched.
On August 15, the Federal Congress held a meeting of all members, and military representatives also attended the meeting.
The votes on the big screen continue to accumulate.
After more than ten minutes, all the votes from all star fields were counted.
The Speaker of the House of Representatives said loudly: "Now, I declare that in the presidential election of Star Calendar 500, Mr. Harrison received 2,578,09,632 votes, with a support rate of 75%! Mr. Harrison is officially elected the 101st President of the Federation!"
There was warm applause at the Congress, and Yu Ran and Lu Zexuan also applauded and congratulated.
Harrison stood up amid the applause, walked to the podium with a smile, and began to deliver his inaugural speech: "I am honored to be elected as the new president of the Federation. Here, I would like to express my most sincere gratitude to all the federal citizens who voted for me!"
He bowed deeply to the audience, and the applause became more enthusiastic.
This long speech was obviously written by him long ago. Harrison promised that after being elected president, he would help the people solve problems in medical care, employment, etc. At the same time, he would also distribute the latest researched medicine to all sentinels in the federation for free to solve the troubles of sentinels' frenzy.
The impassioned speech lasted more than ten minutes and was so emotional that all federal television stations broadcast it live simultaneously.
At this time, Secret came to the capital planet and watched the live broadcast of "The Real President Harrison" in a villa in the suburbs. His expression was extremely complicated. He looked at the guy on TV who looked 99% like himself and murmured: "Even I have to suspect that I have a twin brother."
Lu Tingyu was shocked: "If Ranran hadn't found out the truth, I wouldn't have known it was a fake!"
Zhu Tianyi said calmly: "The difference between his left ring finger and the President's is 0.5 centimeters."
Harrison raised his hand, observed it carefully for a moment, and then looked at the man on TV... 0.5 cm, this tiny difference, unless you measure it with a ruler, it is impossible to detect it with the naked eye.
He had met Ludwig, the president of the Guides Association, very rarely, and had only shaken hands with him with his right hand. Perhaps for this reason, the monster hidden in Ludwig's body did not pay attention to the problem with his left hand fingers.
It obviously didn't expect that the president's left and right hands look different.
Lu Tingyu guessed, "Zexuan must have met the real president at the funeral, and then saw the fake one, and discovered this subtle difference?"
Zhu Tianyi said: "General Lu's hawk-like eyesight is better than my spider's. I often meet with the president and know him very well, so I noticed the problem with his finger. General Lu only met him once, but he remembered all the details. Perhaps this is also the key for them to distinguish the real president from the fake one."
Harrison looked at his left hand, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Unexpectedly, it was this difference that saved his life.
***
At the Capitol, after Harrison finished his inaugural speech, the plenary session of the Federal Congress officially ended amid applause.
There were many people in the capital planet who supported the president and took to the streets to march. The streets were full of joy and excitement. At this time, people had no idea that hidden under the president's skin was such a huge and terrifying monster.
After the meeting, Yu Ran received a notice that President Harrison would hold a celebration banquet at 8 o'clock tonight, and the venue of the banquet was set at the Presidential Palace. Most of the people who could attend the banquet were members of the Dark Night Organization, and some were people who wanted to curry favor with the president.
Yu Ran went home and changed into a dress. At dinner time, she took Lu Zexuan to attend the dinner party.
Yu Ran and Lu Zexuan attended the dinner together. They wore tailor-made suits and were not noticeable in the crowd. After all, the people attending the dinner tonight were either rich or noble, and Lu Zexuan was the general with the least experience.
In the banquet hall, many guests who arrived early were greeting each other.
Yu Ran looked around, and sure enough, he didn't see Ludwigi - the president of the Guide Association, now Ms. Adeline, Ludwigi took the initiative to "retire" and hasn't shown up for a long time. After all, he had to concentrate on playing the role of president, so making Ludwigi disappear was the best way.
Adeline saw Yu Ran in the crowd, and walked over with a smile and a glass in hand, saying softly: "Yu Ran, you have made an indispensable contribution to the successful election of the president this time. Speaking of which, it was me who saved you and recommended you to join the organization in the Square Star Region. I really have good vision."
Yu Ran thought to himself: Of course you have a good vision, you introduced the biggest undercover agent.
On the surface, he still politely clinked glasses with Adeline and said, "My parents are both dead and I have no one to rely on. Thanks to you for your support. I will never forget your kindness."
Adelin listened to his words and felt very happy: "Follow your master and study hard in the future. I will never treat you unfairly."
At this time, Kellogg also came over and said with a smile: "Yu Ran, when I violently interrogated you, I actually wanted to test your background. I hope you don't mind."
Kellogg was wearing a white suit today, looking very elegant, and was surrounded by colorful butterflies. The butterflies took the initiative to fly around Yu Ran's fox to show their friendliness. The fox also shook its tail towards them to show its respect.
Yu Ran said in a good-tempered manner: "I'm not such a stingy person. Congratulations on becoming the new chief of the Investigation Department."
Kellogg clinked glasses with him and said with a smile, "That annoying black spider has been torn to pieces by the wormhole. When I become the section chief in the future, I will definitely cooperate with you. Don't worry, being interrogated will never happen again."
As he was talking, Mo Wei also came over and asked, "What are you talking about with my little apprentice?"
Adeline quipped, "Don't be nervous, Professor. He is your apprentice and no one will take him away from him."
Mo Wei laughed heartily and clinked glasses with several people. He was in a particularly good mood today. Harrison was successfully re-elected and promised to allocate funds from government funds to set up special experimental bases in various star fields. Their great plan finally took a crucial step.
Yu Ran looked at the happy faces of these people and couldn't help but sneer in his heart - you guys just take advantage of the few more minutes of happiness now, I'm afraid you won't be able to laugh later.
A moment later, President Harrison, the protagonist of the evening, arrived at the dinner. Harrison smiled and said, "Please take a seat. I have asked a professional chef to prepare a sumptuous dinner for you. Thank you for your support!"
There was excited applause and cheers from the crowd.
Some people took the opportunity to flatter him: "It is our honor to support your re-election!" "Yes, President Harrison is the most outstanding political figure in the past hundred years, and he will definitely be recorded in the history of the federation."
Yu Ran calmly brought "puppet Lu Zexuan" with him and sat at the same table with Mo Wei.
At the same time, outside the Presidential Palace.
Xie Chen personally led the elite troops of the Star Legion and surrounded the entire Presidential Palace at an extremely fast speed; in the sky, the elite troops of the Falcon Legion led by General Lu Tingyu blocked everyone's escape route in the air; underground, the reconnaissance department led by Zhu Tianyi had already set up a tight net to prevent Adeline and others from escaping through the secret passage.
The entire presidential palace was surrounded by people.
On the road, underground, and in the air, an all-round encirclement is launched, not even a fly can fly out!
The palace was bustling with cheers and toasts.
Harrison smiled and said, "The dinner will begin soon. Tonight, we will drink to our heart's content and celebrate the victory of this election!"
There was thunderous applause again.
However, before the applause died down, several people suddenly walked in side by side at the door.
A voice identical to Harrison's on the stage said coldly, "Wait a minute. It's time for your performance to end."
Everyone turned around at the same time, and many of them widened their eyes in surprise, while some of them almost dropped their jaws.
What's going on?! Why is there another President Harrison
Also, isn't Marshal Qin Xiao critically ill and bedridden? Why is he standing next to Harrison
Didn't General Lu Tingyu die long ago? Why was he standing next to Harrison
Didn't Chief Zhu of the Investigation Department voluntarily resign and hand over the position of Chief to Kellogg? And how come General Xie Xi, the commander of the Starry Army who was on sick leave at home, all showed up at the celebration banquet
A group of people looked at each other.
The next moment, Marshal Qin Xiao said simply: "Action!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Zexuan, who had been treated as a "puppet" and standing in a daze beside him, suddenly jumped up - he flipped over the table directly, and with lightning speed, he grabbed Professor Mo Wei's neck in an instant!
Mo Wei's eyes were about to fall out.
