Miss President wants to talk to you

He waited.

at last

"I know."

Over the loudspeaker, Eleanor calmly said, "Mr. Lyman, please pick up the phone and call your subordinate."

"We will give the public an explanation on this very program."

……

These words struck like a thunderbolt from the east coast of the Federation to the west coast.

"Make a phone call?! He wants the governor to make a phone call on the spot?!"

"That's impossible! How could Lyman agree to that? He's the governor!"

Will Lehman play?

Will he handle this on the spot?

Lyman sat in the studio, speechless.

He suddenly had a strong premonition that he had arrived at a turning point in his life.

His next choice will determine the future of his life!

Eleanor pushed the phone in front of him.

"Mr. Lyman, please don't hesitate."

Pick up the phone!

Chapter Thirty-One: This is a Trial

To fight or not to fight?

Lyman was caught in this long and complicated dilemma.

He is the governor, and he has his own dignity. He would never punish his subordinates in person just because of a word from the president.

This represents a compromise between states' rights and federal power.

Other governors would never agree to this situation.

Moreover, Eleanor's actions at this moment left him no room for maneuver whatsoever.

This was practically a public execution.

What did Lyman do wrong to deserve this humiliation?

It could be said that if Lyman had simply stood up and left at that moment, he would have had something to say when facing the media and his colleagues afterwards.

Many people will even support him.

but

Lyman's identity, besides being that of a governor, had other special aspects.

He is the governor, but he is also the governor whom Roseve promoted.

The kindness shown to us must be repaid.

A sense of sorrow welled up in Lyman's heart. Why, why did he have to face this difficult choice?

When Ms. Louise invited me to participate in the show, didn't she just say I should just cooperate?!

He's almost been ripped off!

“Eleanor…”

Finally, Lyman slowly raised his head. He still couldn't make a choice, only thinking that he could discuss it again and not be so extreme.

But suddenly, a note appeared in front of him.

It was handed to me by Eleanor.

There is only one sentence above.

"New policies require a new atmosphere."

Swish!

At that moment, Lyman's mind was as if it had been pierced by a flash of inspiration.

The clouds parted to reveal the sun, and all my confusion vanished!

He suddenly understood.

So that's how it is; this is a trial.

Rosef wants to start a new policy, but she doesn't know who is capable and who can take the lead!

Therefore, if someone invites you to participate in the program and is willing to support the new policy, they will act swiftly and decisively.

Moreover, the stage was already set up for him.

By simply making this one phone call, we can alleviate the people's burdens in front of listeners nationwide.

He, Herbert Lehman, will become the leading figure of the new government!

Who is it?

There's almost no need to hesitate!

In an instant, Lyman's expression changed.

He was no longer conflicted, but instead filled with determination. His rapid change of heart revealed the shrewdness of a seasoned politician.

"Eleanor, you're just like me!"

He said, "I wanted to get this over with as quickly as possible, and this phone is exactly what I needed!"

With a slight modification to his rhetoric, Lyman was no longer someone being put on a pedestal.

On the contrary, it was a good governor who had wanted to solve the problem for a long time!

Outside the broadcast, people were completely stunned.

Lyman...

Do we really have to make this call?!

The federal citizens of 1933 had never seen such a politician before.

After listening to the people's difficulties, they actually chose to deal with them on the spot?

Is this what politicians of the new era are like?

And

People aren't stupid; they can obviously tell whose credit it was for Lyman's decision.

Ellino Hopkins.

And the president he represents, Franklin Rosef!

At that moment, the sound of a dial wheel turning came over the loudspeaker.

Lyman has already started making phone calls.

After a series of beeps, a female voice rang out:

"Imperial State Finance Committee".

pass!

The people outside the broadcast spontaneously stood up.

Unheard of, unseen.

This program format completely overturned their previous understanding!

"This is Lyman, connecting Cartwright."

"Please wait a moment!"

A moment later, a man's voice rang out.

"Good evening, Governor. I am Howard Cartwright."

“Howard, I’m calling you on the radio right now, and the entire Federation is witnessing your statement.”

Lyman controlled his voice, "Tell me, why haven't the back pay payments for public employees in Erie County started yet?"

The finance bureau chief on the other end of the phone was clearly stunned.

"A broadcast? Mr. Governor..."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Lyman interrupted him, "Answer my question, why haven't the back wages for Erie County been paid yet?"

The audience was completely dumbfounded.

What did they hear?

I heard a governor holding the finance director accountable on the spot!

Is this really something I can hear?

……

metropolis.

Media czar Hearst was sitting in his bedroom in his luxurious villa.

Beside him was a blonde, blue-eyed beauty.

This is his new favorite in recent months, a minor actress who isn't very famous but is very good at being charming.
