Early the next morning, news about Dulin being shot "again" spread throughout the empire. In order to gain market attention, some newspapers and magazines reported that Dulin had been shot before without any confirmation. He listed the incidents one by one, and used a mocking tone to characterize Dulin's shooting case.
"Another shocking incident of racial discrimination!"
"When bullets are fired at us, maybe we will regret it!" This is about promoting the gun ban.
“Government officials have become a dangerous profession!”
…
Most of the newspapers and magazines published the happy news as if it were a holiday. Yes, for them, Dulin was a guarantee of sales of newspapers and magazines. At the same time, such a topical event could also trigger heated public discussions.
What the major media like most is such hot news. Not only can they participate in discussions, but they can also publish articles with clear positions to guide the direction of public opinion.
Either way, it means they will continue to make more money.
As for whether the content of the report is true...the uncrowned kings will use ambiguous ways to express what they want to express, and even if they are taken to court, it will be difficult for them to be unlucky.
"Look, this article is very interesting. Let me read it to you..." Du Fu was chewing an apple while looking at the newspaper in his hand. He vaguely read the contents of the newspaper to Du Fu who was lying on the bed. Lin listens.
"I just want to ask one question, and that's why?"
"Why do all the shootings that we know of that are of egregious nature and impact seem to have something to do with Governor Doolin?"
"Whether it was when he was already in front of the public or when he was not as famous as he is now, he was like something with magic and gravity, attracting all the bullets around him to himself."
"Sometimes I am very curious. Do these people really want to assassinate a big man like Du Lin, or do the assassins dislike his dazzling looks and can't help but want to give him a bullet?"
"It is absolutely impossible for the problem to only appear on one person. There may be some problems on both sides. It's just that what we see now is not Dulin's responsibility."
Dufo clicked on the newspaper, "What this guy said seems to make sense. In the past few years, you are the only one who has been frequently assassinated and reported it to the police."
Du Lin rolled his eyes, turned his head away and looked at the sky outside the window.
In fact, it was not only this newspaper that questioned why Dulin always became a victim, either by this assassin or by another person. Every time after he was assassinated, he seemed to make great progress.
It's like..., every bullet fired at him can bring him better luck and more power.
There are also some newspapers and magazines that believe that Dulin's shooting was related to some extremist organizations lurking within the empire, such as the "Holy Flag", an extreme racist organization with Ogdin supremacy.
Among the racial issues over the years, the conflicts between them and the provincial people are the most common, and there will be some disturbances from time to time.
In addition, Dulin has always emphasized that he is a minority, and it is inevitable that some media and newspapers will think that he is always assassinated, which may be related to his identity.
As for the truth, no one has reported it. The official does not seem to have issued any press release. The contents of all newspapers and magazines are completely based on guesswork.
Du Fu read several newspapers to Du Lin with a look on his face. He couldn't help but laugh out loud after each reading. When he put the last newspaper on the table, he wiped the juice on his hands and his expression changed. He had to be a little more serious, "We used to do this because we were not strong enough, so can you tell me why you are still doing this now that you have become the governor?"
Du Lin laughed twice, "Everyone says you have done a good job. When you do something right, you may have done something wrong, but these people want you to continue to do it wrong."
"When we are still weak, we need to turn ourselves into victims to hide our weakness. We need to tell everyone that we are not terrible."
"We're just a bunch of lucky rats, which gives our opponent the illusion that if he gets serious, we'll be doomed!"
"But when we became strong, our opponents turned into rats and poisonous snakes. They hid in rat holes and hidden in sewers."
"We can't see them, we can't find them, but these rats and poisonous snakes are watching us all the time."
"As long as we show a hint of weakness and are a little careless, they will jump out at the right moment and bite us hard."
"People can't always put their energy into playing with rats and poisonous snakes."
Du Lin looked at Dufo, "The problem with the Tushen Sect is that I was negligent before. I overestimated the strength of the military. They were able to make people escape, so I want to give them a chance this time..."
He spread his hands to embrace the invisible air, "Everyone, give them all a chance. I will become very weak and let them see the possibility of overthrowing me."
He smiled and waved his arms, as if he had caught something in the air, and he held it tightly, "Then... I caught it!"
Du Lin glanced at the wound on his shoulder. To be honest, he was somehow used to shooting himself. He did this kind of thing smoothly without any hesitation.
The bullet penetrated the shoulder and came out from behind the armpit. It did not damage any bones, let alone internal organs. However, when viewed from the front, it gave people a very scary feeling, as if it was a little close to the chest.
Now Dulin's declared state is "in a coma" and he is no longer able to handle official duties, so Dove, at her suggestion, reported the matter to the New Party Committee, hoping to choose from the five New Party mayors in Ambiro State One person was appointed to temporarily replace Du Lin in presiding over the daily work of the state government.
Don't look at the mayors below who are either submissive or neither humble nor arrogant. It is inevitable that there will be some thoughtful people among these people who are not on the same line as him.
Moreover, this time he was assassinated and fell unconscious again. The happiest person should be Powers. He may use his power and injured resources to seize the position of acting governor, and then try to oust Dulin.
By then, in the general environment of Ambiro State and within the state government, it will be clear who is one of our own and who is the enemy.
Second, under the double protection of the Security Committee and the Military Intelligence Office, Du Lin was assassinated at close range by an assassin. What does this mean
This shows that there are certain problems in the capabilities of the Security Committee and the Military Intelligence Office. As the governor of Ambiro State, Dulin has issued an order prohibiting any organization from possessing illegal private armed forces. Those in his hands have also been converted into employees of the state. The “legal arms” of the government.
But this is not enough. These people have always been "civilian forces". Regardless of whether Dulin will actually supervise them, their activities will inevitably be monitored and managed by society and the government, and there are some things they cannot do.
On the contrary, if there is an official armed force directly under the governor, some things will be easier to do.
Taking advantage of the fact that he was almost assassinated, he went to see the late king and the gods, and he had no trust in the existing military and official forces such as the Security Committee and the Military Intelligence Department, so he established a small-scale military armed department. It’s probably hard for everyone to say anything.
As long as we control the number of people and the scope of authority, Du Lin will not be afraid of those people even if he goes to the cabinet. I am almost killed by people who are trying to protect me. I don’t know if someone wants to use someone’s hand to kill me. , anyway, I have so many enemies, and I am also suspicious by nature...
The third point is to use assassinations to wake up the locals throughout the west. The Tushen religion is deeply rooted in the west and has almost become a part of the western culture for more than 20 years.
Even though the empire has defined the Tushen Cult as a cult, there are still many people practicing that trick among the people. In some aging areas, there is almost not enough horse shit to eat!
In the name of the Tushen Cult's attempt to assassinate the governor and attempt to rebel, we must fundamentally eliminate this organization's influence in the west and eradicate the remnants of these cults as much as possible.
The imperial intelligence department, the local police, and the investigation bureau may not know who believes in that stuff, but the locals themselves definitely know who around them believes it and who doesn't.
Only by pushing these people to take the initiative to identify the remnants of the Tushen Cult for Du Lin can we truly clean them up.
The fourth point is that maybe the person who assassinated him was not someone from the Earth God Cult. It was also possible that he blocked the way of some other people, and those people might also have paid to hire assassins to assassinate him.
Du Lin immediately made such a decision after talking to Mr. Jack on the phone. Anyway, whoever dares to say something that shouldn't be said must be the killer he is looking for.
Playing rogue and throwing dirty water is also one of the compulsory subjects for politicians, and it is also a main course. If you fail, you will not be able to graduate.
With the above four points, this is a good opportunity to do a lot of things at once, and Du Lin is very satisfied with this.
Even if you get a little injured, it's worth it. You can also take a vacation and get multiple benefits.
The news that Du Lin was "unconscious" and "very likely to die" soon spread to the entire empire under his personal promotion. Some newspapers, including TV and other media who had good relations with Du Lin, took it for money. unified caliber.
On one side, he criticized the fact that twenty or thirty people in the military were unable to protect a single political figure, and there was only one killer. On the other side, he criticized the Tushen Cult for their heartless actions.
Because the Security Committee and the Military Intelligence Office are not completely public departments, so the fact that they are claimed to be the military is considered unlucky for the military.
Things escalated very quickly, and even Mags made a suspicious phone call, but of course it was not Dulin who answered the phone.
I don’t know if the old man saw something. After asking some questions, he hung up the phone and the sound went silent.
