Speaking of Powers, Kubal's expression became vivid, "This guy is really interesting. He has been very active in various social situations recently. You can see him or see things related to him almost everywhere you go. "
Powers did not have the pleasure of fishing for the Prime Minister, and he could not make a decisive decision like Maggs in the new party. He could only retreat and start a wide range of social activities. On the one hand, he wanted to increase his popularity. There are also plans for the future.
No matter how selfless a person is, he will still have some inhumane thoughts, not to mention that Powers has never been that kind of person. After his two terms as leader of the new party are over, he will completely leave the political stage.
This may be a little cruel to someone who has worked hard all his life, so Powers's mind is changing rapidly. He wants to improve his status within the party, his reputation in society, and provide a successor. People, continue to lead the struggle of the new party members of the popular faction.
In fact, in the final analysis, I am still unwilling to accept my failure, and I still fail so funny.
The party that has been in power for thirty years can lose in one fell swoop. No one will believe it if there is not a bit of cat shit in it, but what can he do
He had no choice but to look for an opportunity to extend his political life to others. This made him restless and start to take the initiative to become active.
Many capitalists are very close to Powers. He is much easier to get in touch with than Maggs. Especially the influence brought by the brand leader of the New Party is very considerable. After all, Maggs spent more than thirty years to build the political system. Prestige and prestige do not fade overnight.
He has become good friends with many capitalists, and even helps others stand up and attends some large-scale business meetings, parties, etc., which makes some people think that he is a bit nondescript now.
Kubal, who was talking about Powers' various "retarded" behaviors, suddenly looked at Mags with a slightly horrified expression.
The corners of his eyes twitched, "So, this is the test you gave Du Lin?"
"A test?" Magus immediately smiled and shook his head in opposition, "No, this is not a test, it is his ladder to success!"
The two were silent for a while, and Kubal couldn't tell whether to laugh or cry. "Why do I feel like I have become this ladder in your mouth? I don't know why, but I am suddenly not optimistic about the general election in eight years."
Mags laughed after hearing this, "Because that's the future I chose!"
Du Lin, who was being favored by Magus, got an unexpected phone call at this time. The phone call came from the imperial capital, and Du Lin also knew the person who made the call.
"I heard that the wind in the west is very strong and the scenery is beautiful. When I was young, I didn't have the opportunity to see it with my own eyes because of poverty. Now I don't have time to see it. Maybe I will go there after I retire. "
The voice in the receiver sounded very heroic at first, but if you listen carefully, you can't feel the power that comes naturally between words in that language. It's all fake.
The person who called Dulin was Powers. After the rotating chairman of the Chamber of Commerce entrusted the matter to Powers, a shareholder on the central bank board of directors contacted Powers in private and talked about it a little bit. Recent news, and "his" uneasiness.
This uneasiness does not belong to any one person, but to the entire shareholders of the Imperial Bank Board of Directors. They cannot allow Dulin and the Chamber of Commerce to fight to the death in the ring. In fact, it is not a good thing for whoever wins.
If Dulin wins, his confidence and ambition will further expand, and he will most likely try to challenge the Imperial Central Bank in the future. This will cause a very troublesome situation. The central bank only likes money, not trouble.
If the Chamber of Commerce wins, there will definitely be a terrible saying in the society, thinking that the Chamber of Commerce is above the political power. After all, even the governor personally resigned and lost the battle. When people praise the Chamber of Commerce so highly that it can vaguely influence the political power. and sovereignty, the empire will be ruthless.
So the best result is to negotiate a peace, throw out a batch of discarded children to let Du Lin vent his anger, and at the same time treat the matter coldly so that everyone will gradually forget about it.
It is not easy to find anyone to suppress Dulin now. His success did not rely on everyone's help to lay the foundation, which makes the number of people who can influence him become very few.
Magers would not go along with the capitalists, that was his insistence.
The important partners around Du Lin are all Guarts and are also Du Lin's staunch admirers. They are even less likely to ask Du Lin to make a decision that goes against his original intention for the sake of outsiders. In the end, this choice fell on the recent extremely difficult decision. On the active Powers.
With the help of both the Chamber of Commerce and the Central Bank, Powers believed that the time had come and decided to have a chat with Dulin, which led to such a conversation.
Faced with such a ridiculous opening statement, Dulin still maintained his reserve, "If you are interested, as long as you have time, I will arrange for someone to take you around the entire Ambluo state."
He did not use honorifics. He felt that Powers was not worthy of his admiration, especially when this man had criticized him on the political stage more than once and tried to step on him.
Powers had some unhappiness in his heart, which he hid, "I'm getting older and I don't plan to move around. I'm very satisfied to be able to retire peacefully." He paused here and said, "I I read in the newspaper recently that there was a dispute between you and the Chamber of Commerce? "
This is a very common way of speaking. According to the normal routine, Dulin should answer that they are all trivial things. Then Powers will emphasize his identity and then tell him that since they are all Just forget about the small things, give some benefits, and the deal will be completed.
Most of the time, the so-called political transactions are like this. Give up what you are doing and get benefits from other places that are no less than planned. Everyone is happy without offending people too much. This is a required subject for every politician.
But Dulin was not an ordinary person, at least not an ordinary politician.
Facing Powers' question about wanting to be reconciled, he turned around with a half-smile, looked in the direction of the imperial capital, and replied firmly, "Mr. Powers, maybe the newspaper you read is not accurate about what happened here. There is a wording error in the description.”
"I need to correct this. This is not a dispute, but a serious criminal act by the Chamber of Commerce. At least they have covered up the illegal behavior of some companies and provided these companies with the necessary shelter to resist taxes."
Behind the receiver, the unenthusiastic smile on Powers's face suddenly froze, and his expression turned very bad. "Really? Maybe there is something wrong with the channel through which I obtain the information. Can you tell me the inside story about this matter?" "
Dulin once again sternly rejected Powers' request, "Before the case is completely concluded, it is not convenient for me to disclose inside information related to this case, so I am very sorry."
"Can't you even reveal it to me? Or do you think I might reveal the news?" When he said this, Powers was already angry. Dulin refused to give him face as usual, making him look ugly. , also very angry.
He is the leader of the new party, the leader of the largest party in the empire, and Dulin's superior!
Now even a small case is not disclosed to him. This obvious resistance represents Du Lin's position. How can Powers not be angry? He may even feel that Du Lin looks down on him, so he ignores his identity. He declined to reveal his position as leader of the new party.
"I didn't say you would leak the information, but in order to ensure that there is no possibility of leakage of internal information, it's best not to know for the time being." Dulin retorted again, revealing doubts about Powers both inside and outside his words. .
Powers, who originally didn't think this would be a difficulty, was already a little crazy. He had been a party whip for more than 20 years. In fact, his work had little to do with politics. His main job was to safeguard the new party. Decent.
His previous job within the party was more like a fault-finding person, looking for trouble for others, questioning others for damaging the face of the new party, and maintaining the authority of the new party.
This makes him often in a state of anger at work, and he is not as good at controlling his emotions as a real politician, so that he will make some ridiculous mistakes.
"What if, as the leader of the new party, I ask you to tell me what happened?" Look, people who are accustomed to anger will always make some wrong moves and say some wrong words after lighting up their incompetent rage. .
Du Lin remained unyielding, "I maintain my opinion. If you are dissatisfied with my actions, you can impeach me to the New Party Committee..." After a pause for a few seconds, the message came from the receiver. Powers breathed heavily, and Dulin continued, "By the way, as the governor of Ambluo State and a member of the Empire's New Party Organization, I have independent governance power."
"You can be dissatisfied with my behavior, but you cannot hinder my governance behavior or deny my personal governance program. If you insist, you can challenge my recent work and impeach me to the Supreme Court, if you want."
"If there's nothing else, I wish you a good night, Mr. Powers." After saying that, Dulin hung up the phone without waiting for what Powers was saying.
After hanging up the phone, he sneered a few times. What the hell, the one he disliked the most in the entire new party was Powers.
It didn't make much sense, just because Powers had offended him more than once before.
Yes, I am so petty. Dulin will never deny this. Anyway, Powers has nothing to do with him.
The term "puppet leader" was a term newly coined within the new party and used to describe Powers when communicating among members of a small number of organizations.
As the leader of the new party, he is unable to interfere in the daily work of the party. He is tied up high like an unlucky mascot, making a group of populist members feel joyfully that the world has been changed by them.
Realistically, what can he do
You can't do anything, but you still want to interfere with the behavior of a high-ranking official. You are really blind, dark-hearted, and forgetful.
