Ah Jicui's "pork barrel" incident spread very quickly. It was so fast that even Ah Jicui himself could not believe it. A few minutes after the presidential palace was surrounded, he received the latest news from his subordinates.
In the streets and alleys of the Philippines, various social groups held demonstrations to protest against Ah Jicui's corrupt "pork barrel" bill. They were protesting against Ah Jicui's corruption!
Tens of thousands of people held a rally in front of the capital's park. Crowds began to gather in all the streets and alleys! The people were chanting "against Ah Jicui" and "against corruption"!
There were also people who directly opposed Ah Jicui's constitutional amendment and his continued sitting in the president's seat! Wherever people could be seen, people were expressing their dissatisfaction with Ah Jicui!
Everyone was shouting for Ah Jicui to step down immediately! There was absolutely no possibility of him being forgiven!
Such a large-scale protest was undoubtedly fatal for a country's president who had the slogan of "democracy". When no one supported him, the president was not even worth a fart.
There were even people who directly printed Ah Jicui's portrait and burned it on the streets!
When the people showed such anger, Ah Jigui probably knew that he had reached the end of the road.
Even if he still had the status of president, he would not be able to get the support of the people no matter what he said now, right?
Not to mention the people, even the entire authority, those who could draw a clear line with Ah Jidai had made a statement at the first opportunity. Those who had been caught with evidence of common corrupt interests with Ah Jidai were even more helpless. All of them had become rats crossing the street who were hated by everyone.
When Joleshwen saw the beautiful story that he had orchestrated, he could not help but feel a burst of joy in his heart.
Soon, Joleshwen received a call from an official of the American Empire.
Obviously, the American Empire's sense of smell was very accurate. They immediately threw an olive branch to Joleshwen and told him that as long as he was willing to cooperate with the American Empire, the American Empire could help him ascend to the throne of the Philippines' president as soon as possible.
The words were very straightforward.
Under the circumstances where Joleshwen did not agree in time, the American Empire's people also issued a threat.
If Joleshwen was not willing to cooperate, the American Empire's people also said that they could train a new person to compete with him and make him lose everything.
This made Joleshwin very unhappy. At least for now, everything seemed to be in his favor.
When he unveiled Aji's hypocritical mask of corruption, all the Filipino citizens stuck their little flags of support in the square behind Joleshwin. He did not believe that the American Empire had any way to suppress him in a short period of time!
He told the US Empire that he believed in his own strength and that he would like to be friends with the US Empire, but they should not threaten him.
The US Empire expressed that there was no problem with this.
In the end, Joleshwin also mentioned that if Ah Ji asked for help, the US Empire would still help him, and there would be no need for them to cooperate.
The American Empire had clearly promised Joleshwin that they would not help Ah Jigui with anything.
In fact, Ah Jigui had already called the officials of the American Empire.
The official from the American Empire who had been in contact with Ah Jicui was furious. He directly called Ah Jicui an idiot and trash.
He couldn't even cover up such a trivial matter and was exposed. Now, he actually had the face to stand up and ask for their help! Why would the United States help such a piece of trash?
Ah Jicui had originally asked for help, but he was scolded badly. If there was a knife in front of him now, he would have killed himself immediately.
His life was too sullen!
When the American Empire's official came to him, his attitude was not like this. In order to make him agree to use his country to provoke the Hua Xia, the American Empire's official had to lower his glass when drinking with him.
Now, what was this?
Knowing that Ah Jicui could no longer be helped, they directly kicked him away?
This method of burning the bridge after crossing the river was too inhumane!
At this point, Ah Jicui finally understood that the American Empire did not care about any human feelings. Other than using him, they only cared about using him.
When he was no longer useful, they kicked him away as fast as they could.
"Joleshwin … You bastard, all of this is thanks to you. Even if I die, I will drag you down with me!" Ah Jicui muttered to himself fiercely. He quickly called his trusted aide and asked him to arrange for someone to assassinate Joleshwin.
However, the assassins arranged by Ah Jicui's trusted aide were all killed very quickly. The news came back very quickly.
Ah Jicui's trusted aide told Ah Jicui that Joleshwin not only had his own people protecting him, but also the people arranged by the American Empire to protect him. Any suspicious person was killed by the American Empire's agents before they even had the chance to see Joleshwin.
When Ah Jicui heard this, he was completely paralyzed.
He had nothing left to live for. He no longer had the face to continue sitting in the presidential palace.
In order to cut ties with him, all the officials publicly stated that they were against him. Under the pressure of Joleshwin, the entire presidential palace's guards drew a clear line between Ah Jicui and himself.
Ah Jicui, who was abandoned by his friends and family, announced his resignation as the president in depression.
The news was immediately spread through the media, and the entire Philippines was cheering.
Ah Jicui also moved out of the presidential palace and returned to his home under the "beckoning" of rotten eggs and vegetables.
All of this made the people of the Philippines cheer. Of course, Ah Jicui also said some things that made people feel disgusted.
Ah Jicui, who had nothing left, even shamelessly said that he would still be by everyone's side and would not leave. As long as there was a need for him, he would return to the political arena.
These words became a big joke among the people of the Philippines.
Some people said that even if a dog became the president in the presidential palace, Ah Jicui did not need to come back.
Although Ah Jicui abandoned everything and "left" immediately, Joleshwin still said that he would investigate Ah Jicui and his corruption to the end.
If any money that belonged to the country was found to be in Ah Jicui's pocket, he would not hesitate to take it out.
Then, he would use the money on the country's public infrastructure, medical insurance for the people, and national education.
Regardless of whether Joleshwin's words were true or false, since he said so, he would receive the support of countless people.
At this moment, in contrast to Ah Jicui's miserable and lonely situation, Joleshwin had become a great hero in the eyes of the people of the Philippines.
All kinds of banners supporting Joleshwin as the president were also raised high, although most of these people were "shills" arranged by Joleshwin's son.
However, the role of these "shills" could not be underestimated. It was because of these "shills" that Joleshwin's voice was so loud at this moment.
After all, the truth that the people knew was only a minority. They would only see what was on the surface.
Joleshwin only needed to do what was on the surface, and everything would not be a problem.
These hypocritical things were very familiar to Joleshwin. He knew when to do what, so everything was handled in an orderly manner.
Although Joleshwin was not in a real position at the moment, the entire people and all the people in the power center knew very well that at this time, they had to curry favor with Joleshwin.
This was because Joleshwin's voice among the people was already unstoppable.
This guy could be said to have reached the sky in a single bound. No one wanted to go against him.
The American Empire was naturally very satisfied with Joleshwin's "ability".
Joleshwin, who had been recognized as "ability", was very motivated. Not only did he promise a lot of things to the people of the Philippines, but he also said that he would solve the current conflict with Hua Xia.
There were not many people who could make all kinds of statements that satisfied the people, but Joleshwin had done it.
Although the American Empire was still not sure whether Joleshwin was an easy puppet to control, they believed that they had the ability to control him. Thus, they allowed Joleshwin to "speak without thinking" in the media.
