Chapter 1507 - 1505: Tyrant

Chapter 1507: Chapter 1505: Tyrant

The weather in July is not very hot yet, even in the southernmost cities of the Federation, it’s only around thirty degrees.

Such temperature does not make one feel that a sunny day is a difficult day, instead, every gust of wind can carry away some hidden warmth beneath the skin, giving a special coolness!

In the central park of Bupen, Mr. Truman is delivering a speech themed "Let the World Recognize Us."

Many reporters came to the site, along with many citizens, almost all of them are his supporters!

Foreign countries also place great emphasis on this election. Compared to Mr. Truman, who has a military background, both Gafura and Peng Jieao actually hope that the Federation Government can have a purely "politician."

This is the option that aligns with their interests, rather than a soldier.

But the people favor him.

Today’s weather is exceptionally good, very clear, with sunshine spreading over the land, driving away the clouds and darkness.

Mr. Truman stood in the center of the square. After the staff helped him with the final adjustments to the microphone, they bent down and left the center area.

At 9:45 in the morning, the speech began.

Actually, not far from here at another park crossroads, other people are also organizing speeches.

There are four months until the General Election, every minute, every second, is very important!

Mr. Truman walked up to the podium with a smile, first greeting everyone, then looking up and squinting at the sunshine.

The sunshine was splendid, splendid like his inner emotions at this moment - somewhat surging, somewhat excited, yet not so evident, unlikely to easily show on the surface.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I’m delighted that on this bright day, we can stand here and chat face to face."

"Many people are unfamiliar with me. Perhaps you have some very shallow understanding from some promotional posters and some advertisements."

"You don’t quite understand why I am standing here, nor do you understand why I am running for President."

His gaze shifted very slowly, moving across each person’s face, finally gently, repetitively nodding, "This is the reason we are gathered here today; we need to enhance our mutual understanding."

He paused for a while, not speaking louder, nor faster, as greater volume doesn’t necessarily make one less questioned, nor does quicker speech make one more trusted.

Sometimes speaking in a moderated tone can make what is said more impressive.

Sometimes maintaining a normal or slightly slow pace can impart a sense of authority!

Big figures never rush to say everything in one breath; they speak while thinking, and no one feels it humiliates their identity to do so.

After about ten seconds, Mr. Truman casually pointed at the sky, "People’s lack of understanding of me is like the world’s lack of understanding of the Federation!"

"Perhaps many of you question this point, wondering who doesn’t know the Federation, who doesn’t know us?"

An appropriate rhetorical question helps activate people’s thoughts. Seeing them start to ponder, Mr. Truman smiled and continued, "Yes!"

"Some still don’t understand us, don’t recognize us, and treat our goodwill as malice!"

"We are peace-loving, freedom-cherishing, pursuing equality is the direction of our lifelong endeavor, yet some always slander us, harm us."

"They disregard our stance, ignore our emotions, misunderstand our demands, and even want to trample our dignity!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, as a Federation soldier, I won’t allow them to do this!"

"It’s time to let the world understand us!"

"In the past few years, our total economic output..."

A large amount of data jumped swiftly and orderly out of Mr. Truman’s mind, he had no script, completely impromptu speaking, already memorized what needs to be memorized.

Actually, these recitations do not occupy too much "space" in his brain, as these things will soon disappear from his mind.

The human body has a very miraculous mechanism that quickly memorizes some stuff, but as long as one doesn’t recall these memories for a while, they sink deeper.

Eventually, they sink to the bottom, hard to retrieve again.

A few hours to memorize the script, adding some instant thoughts, Mr. Truman has already mastered the technique of speech.

He has watched Lynch’s talks and speeches many times; undeniably, although Lynch is young, his speeches are filled with power!

Perhaps it’s an inspiring power, perhaps it’s an exciting power!

In some social surveys concerning Lynch, many people believe Lynch’s speeches are convincing because he speaks sincerely from the heart, not from script content!

People trust him, trust that he hasn’t prepared a bunch of lies written on some sheets to read out whenever needed, deceiving people.

This is what Mr. Truman learned - speaking impromptu makes people trust you more!

However, not everyone can do this, sometimes the content of speeches can’t be memorized simply, this really challenges personal ability.

If you can do it, you can gain more trust, you can gain ode supporters!

People watched Mr. Truman, and he responded to their attention in his own way.

He presented the Federation’s economy, finance, military, politics, history, culture...

He brought out every aspect that could stand as a separate project, showing people how glorious the Federation’s achievements have been over the years!

Yet these are not known to outsiders!

"...They still think we are backward, weak, and fragile!"

"That is why those imperialists attempt to harm us through unequal bilateral relations!"

"We are no longer what we used to be!"

"Our people are not afraid of challenges!"

"Confronted with formidable external forces, we resolutely refuse to compromise!"

"Our people can create opportunities!"

"With ’Federation speed,’ we made people understand a principle—"

"The advancement of technology can be seen!"

"..."

"We have so many things worth praising, worth being proud of, but many people and countries in this world are unaware of these."

"They still think we are the same as before, weak and timid, even though we have vast territories and advanced technology, we don’t dare to say no to them!"

"And this day has long become history; it is time for the world to rediscover us, to rediscover the Federation!"

"We will no longer remain silent in the face of these imperialists; we will voice our own spirit, the era belonging to the Federation..."

He waved his fist, "has arrived!"

Excited people stood up one after another, using enthusiastic applause to vent their equally intense emotions!

What a great speech!

The rise of the Federation is already unstoppable; it’s indeed time for the world to re-recognize and truly understand the Federation!

Through this relatively short speech, people’s understanding of Mr. Truman has become clearer, and they also better understand what kind of person he truly is!

The prevalence of radicalism, the Navy’s victory, the wealth brought by Nagariel, all these have given Federation citizens a strong sense of security.

What they lack now is for the world to tell them how formidable they truly are!

When people have satisfied their material wealth needs, their desires shift; they no longer just pursue material aspects but start to pursue spiritual needs!

Among the Federation people, the first pursuit is a sense of recognition.

Being recognized by others, having one’s value affirmed, and being listened to quietly when speaking without interruption, this is the initial pursuit in the stage of spiritual pursuits.

Then they have more thoughts and pursuits, such as gaining recognition from further afield.

Recognition of the Federation.

People are curious about how foreigners perceive them, and they will actively seek out similar knowledge.

When foreigners exhibit recognition of the Federation and its people, it may not cause great joy, but their hearts obtain tremendous satisfaction!

This satisfaction is something material wealth cannot replace!

The desire to be recognized by more people aligns with Mr. Truman’s speech, the nation’s development, and the Federation’s quest for a higher international status.

Elevating these into "national needs" resonates from top to bottom with the people!

People will approve of Mr. Truman’s speech and his governance program because it is also what they want to achieve!

That night, major TV stations reported on his speech, with some describing it as "inspiring" and "irreplaceable"!

From Mr. Truman’s speech, they saw a powerful Federation, just in the near future!

However, in the international community, Mr. Truman’s speech was categorized as "hawkish," with some countries deeming him an aggressive, invasive politician.

Unlike traditional politicians, his military background enables him to handle issues more readily and skillfully with force.

Foreigners generally dislike Mr. Truman, seeing him as a potential critical factor in undermining future world peace.

The more foreigners disliked Mr. Truman, the more domestic voters favored him!

The foreigners’ dislike is founded on this aggressive social ideology; they dislike this proactive Federation.

Thus, some international media began using "the Federation and its tyrant" as headlines, propagating the threat of the Federation to world peace.
