Quân Công Trai had already been Prime Minister for three years. His government was an unlikely coalition of former nationalists, left-leaning liberals, moderates, independents, and military officers such as Kim Vân Dinh, who became Minister of Defense. His government had passed some important reforms, such as an agrarian reform, the creation of the national social fund -aimed to cover health and welfare spending for poor people, returning refugees and war veterans-, and an ambitious education reform. However, the economic remained weak, as foreign investment had not increased as much as expected, and national debt kept increasing. Under his watch, several companies had been nationalized, although most of them were mostly bankrupt as consequence of the recent conflict, which only increased government spending.
Even if after the Septem crisis, Tieguo involvement in Hoinomese affairs had considerably decreased, peace negotiations with the southern revolutionary government seemed to go nowhere, and the confidence in the government kept decreasing, a year before of the election.
The recent northern offensive, the largest military victory since Quân Công Trai became head of government, had given his government a considerably boost. However, that success has shared by Minister Kim Vân Dinh and the Chief of the General Staff Admiral Bûi Hùu Cào. Along with Minister Dô Công Lành, they run the state's law enforcement, without that Trai were able to have much influence. Such was the condition that Trai was forced so he could become a Prime Minister, but Trai was often unsure if he was safer or not in such situation. In the last months, rumours of a coup d'etat had increased in the opposition media. The parliament failed to pass a constitution, which made the position of his government even weaker.
"There is no hope in the opposition", Lê Quang Dinh said. "The country needs an alternative".
"Politics are not my environment", Kim Vân Dinh replied. "It's been a pleasure to serve our country, but I don't feel like a politician".
"Well, you are one now, aren't you?", Lê Quang Dinh said. "We are all on this. If Trai gets a majority next time, things may become more complicated. The nation needs a strong leadership, and the opposition is not able to offer that".
"If there is no such alternative", Lê Quang Dinh continued, "who knowns what will happen next. All our efforts in these last years could have been in vain, and everything may collapse if we can't find an alternative".
"All I can promise you", General Kim Vân Dinh said, "it is that I will think about it".
