Some things can be hidden for a while, but it is difficult to hide them from others for a lifetime.
The official claimed that Maggs was only frightened and slightly unwell, so he had been undergoing recuperation and examination in the hospital. Some people may have believed it at first, but Maggs has not appeared in the public eye for so long, which is enough to make people believe it. The yeast called "curiosity" begins to ferment in people's hearts.
Everyone is digging in their own way to find out why Maggs can never be discharged from the hospital. Some people may not be at this level and know nothing about it, but the deputy chairperson of the new party committee like Ms. Dolly already has the skills. Qualifications to know the truth.
She knew what was wrong with Mags, and knew that the old man might not be able to appear in front of people for a long time, unable to continue to advocate his views and participate in various activities.
He rested early, which made many people find it a bit incredible that Mags, who existed like the sun in their minds, would fall down one day and lie helpless in the hospital like an ordinary old man. , silently accepting the arrangement of fate for him.
This caused some people to collapse emotionally, so much so that they thought the end of the world was coming.
For a long time in the past, Mags has been the belief of some people and the driving force that supports them to continue to create brilliance. No one can make them feel safer than Mags.
Now that the sun has set and night is coming, people are beginning to feel anxious, fearful, and hysterical.
This is also the reason why the eldest prince's imperial party easily poached some low-level cadres in the new middle school, because their beliefs have collapsed.
What the new party lacks now is not an intact Magus, but a brand new faith. Just as Dulin said, they lack a new, rising sun.
It's still early at noon, and it's just rising. The sun that will allow them to be illuminated by the sun for a long time to come, and the sun that allows them to stay at their own jobs with peace of mind and shine, is no different from before. sun.
Dulin's words touched the heart of Ms. Dolly. She was not one of those people who were beginning to be confused. No one knew where the future of the new party was, even if she was the vice chairman of the new party committee.
Over the years, every step of the New Party has been arranged by Maggs. Without him, the New Party is like losing its brain and the ability to think.
If someone could replace Maggs now and give people a sense of hope, then the situation would be much better.
Dolly did not answer Dulin's question, but was thinking and weighing the pros and cons. Dulin laughed softly, "You hesitated, madam."
She looked up at Du Lin. Du Lin's always confident face never made anyone feel any "surprise", as if nothing could stop him from running forward. Not only did he believe that, He also spreads this confidence around him, letting people around him feel it and be infected by it.
"You don't reject my questions as decisively as you did before. You start to think, which shows that your reason has recognized the problems we are facing..." He stretched out his hand to invite, and the two of them continued to walk forward. , "As intelligent creatures, the biggest enemy that blocks our thinking is actually ourselves. Meaningless sensibility blocks the expansion of rationality. If we don't consider those emotional interferences, do you think there will be someone more suitable to sit here than me? In that position?"
Dolly's expression was a little strange. She seemed to have an urge to refute Du Lin, but she suppressed it. She also felt a little helpless and relieved. She didn't answer immediately. The two of them walked forward side by side for about two or three minutes. , Dolly stopped slightly.
She was one step behind Du Lin and looked at Du Lin. Du Lin turned sideways and looked back at her. Their eyes met in the air. One was as calm as water, the other was slightly fluctuating. At the end, Dolly sighed, Nodding, "You're right, Dulin."
She followed Du Lin's footsteps again, and the two continued to walk forward aimlessly. As they walked, Dolly said, "We care too much about Mags, and he is too important to us. We We are used to relying on him, and we believe that he will never be wrong.”
"Some people say that this is all Maggs' cause. Maggs said to me and more people that this is 'our cause'. Now I suddenly understand."
She smiled with some understanding and some bitterness, "We have taken up his time for forty years, and we should let him rest. No matter whether he is good or bad this time, an era... has passed."
When Dolly said this, she raised her head. She was not looking at the stars or the moon, but she just didn't want tears to fall.
An era... is over.
It ended quietly like this. She originally thought that the end of this era would be as grand as the beginning, so that everyone could feel the shock of its departure.
But that was not the case, it ended quietly.
There is a TV in a house on the roadside. A family of four is sitting on the sofa watching the TV with undrawn curtains. They are either numb or sad. Only the children are carefree.
Occasionally a car passes by on the road. The driver looks at the road ahead intently. He is not aware of the end of an era. Just like the people in the house, their today is no different from yesterday, even if An era ended and it had no impact on them.
The pedestrians did not stop and squatted on the roadside, crying. Apart from a hint of vigilance, there was only indifference on their faces.
Desolate, sad, deplorable, respectable, lovely, hateful...
Countless words were superimposed on the old man lying motionless on the hospital bed. He might not have thought that his era would end in this way, but maybe this was the best way.
Use a new era to cover up the loneliness when the old era leaves. People's eyes will be on the shining place, and no one will see the bleak era's back.
"I agree. I will finalize everything on my side as soon as possible. The chairman... do you need me to talk about it?" The tears in Dolly's eyes gathered together. As a politician, she is an emotional one. A woman can lose her temper only for a moment.
At this time, she calmed down, looked at Du Lin, and agreed to Du Lin's previous proposal, a proposal full of ambition.
In Dulin's plan, he or Dolly or others will convince the chairman of the new party committee to become the new leader of the new party during the mid-term election. Then Dolly will be promoted to the chairman of the new party committee, and then Dolly will nominate Dulin to take over as deputy chairman of the new party committee. Chairmanship.
The advantage of this operation is that Dulin can jump from a high-level backbone of the New Party to an important figure in the top five of the New Party. With this identity and status, in the next four years, he will take the position of Prime Minister as the Vice Chairman of the New Party Committee. Launching an attack is a matter of course.
The leader at that time had reached the age of retirement. He had no way to compete with Du Lin. Doli's temper was still softer, and she would not go against Du Lin. In addition to the management of the past two years, he had to work in the new company. Create your own independent party within the party.
Even if someone dares to bare his teeth, he cannot be threatened. In the end, as long as the state election results are known, he is very likely to become the youngest prime minister in the history of the empire, and also the first imperial prime minister of non-Ogdin origin in history. !
In these links, there are two most critical points. The first point is that Mags must keep his mouth shut, otherwise as long as the old man interrupts or makes a statement, all Dulin's plans will come to nothing.
Maggs's dominance over the new party is so terrible that even if he retires, these people will still obey his will. Before the Du Party grows stronger, Dulin has no chance of winning in the fight with Maggs.
The second point is that Dolly is a key figure. Dolly represents the most orthodox elder of the Magus faction. At the same time, she has a very strong influence on the middle and lower levels of the New Party. Her "ambition" is more in line with the current situation within the top leadership of the New Party. need.
They do not want people from the populist faction to stand up and become the leaders of the next generation of the new party. This is not in line with the rules and is not in everyone's interests.
Just like those people said in those years, the old aristocracy and the new aristocracy are sometimes unclear. In order to ensure that the interests of the top leaders of the new party remain unchanged, Dolly's rise to power will become reasonable.
Moreover, Dolly’s character is not that tough. In a post-Magus era, the new party, which has been tough for decades, will face many problems and challenges, and these things have been accumulated in the past few decades. Gus accumulated.
He has cultivated a lot of unhappiness and anger. If the new party is unable to continue to suppress the entire empire and sends a hardline leader, it is very likely that the conflict with the originally divided organizational forces will further intensify and become Opposition in form poses a great threat to the new party.
Therefore, a leader with a slightly softer personality is more conducive to resolving previous conflicts, so Dolly is a very suitable candidate. This may be one of the reasons why Magers arranged for Dolly to become the vice chairman of the new party committee before retiring.
He knew very well that the new party would need to go through a long "dark night" before it could usher in the "dawn."
He put all the unstable factors into detonation when he just retired when his influence had not faded. The New Party lost the declaration of war and let him come to power. Magers' own retirement and the changes in the New Party's internal party structure all suppressed the situation. Years of conflicts finally found a breakthrough to vent, instead of continuing to pile up and finally causing the earth to collapse with a bang.
It's just that he ignored one person, a bastard full of ambition, and he never thought that fate would sometimes take a ride on his face.
Dolly's surrender put a sincere smile on Dulin's face. He looked sideways to avoid the smile on his face being too strong, "This is a smart choice, believe me, I will Let’s make the new party better!”
After the two said a few more words, they got into the car and left the place.
In fact, Du Lin had already had a premonition about Dolly's choice when he saw her. The big tree had fallen, and those who were accustomed to relying on others began to habitually look for the next big tree.
The New Party has many problems, or there are actually problems with Maggs's ruling style... It is difficult to say clearly. In this special period, it can be said that there are no problems with Maggs's ruling style.
A prime minister who is almost centralized in power is very important for an empire that is eager to revive. People will not spend more energy and resources on wrangling and political strife. But for the new party, for this era, Some are outdated.
What is outdated is not Magus and his way of ruling, but the lack of a suitable successor to power after leaving him. The absence of an outstanding successor is always the thing that great people hate the most.
This also has something to do with everyone being stupid. If there was a smart person, things would not be like this.
After returning home, Du Lin simply freshened up and went to bed. He slept soundly, but the midnight radio wave never stopped.
At nine-thirty the next morning, Dolly went to the office of the chairman of the committee as soon as she went to work, and then did not come out. The door was not opened until about one o'clock in the afternoon. Dolly's face was not so good when she left.
In the next few days, if anyone pays attention, they will find that the structure of the new party committee is undergoing some subtle changes. Some people's jobs have been slightly adjusted, but that is all, a slight adjustment.
Du Lin was also busy with the newborn baby these days. A large number of nobles sent people to bring gifts to congratulate him. Some of them even had a bad relationship with Du Lin.
The world of aristocrats is so interesting and bizarre. Even if you hate someone, when you need to show your grace, you still have to show your grace.
Doolin also met an "old friend" who came to visit him with a lot of gifts, everyone was Harry.
The right and wrong between him and Harry are things of the past. Everyone has different starting points and purposes when looking at issues at different heights from different angles.
It cannot be said that Harry was wrong to suppress Dulin at that time. If a governor cannot handle a mayor and is led by a mayor, I am afraid that this governor will be the most cowardly in history. What's more, Harry was also praised by people at that time. He is the successor of Mags.
With such a reputation and title, he must show his political control even if everything is not his intention.
As for Doolin, this is a mad dog, and if he kicks his ass, he will bite the man to death.
But when everything was over, there seemed to be no hatred between the two people, and even if there was, it was useless.
The family behind Harry will not fight for a failed family member and a political rookie with unlimited potential like Dulin. Besides, Harry also knows that there is no point in being angry. He has already focused on his son. That's why he came in person.
"If you have any ideas, I only mean that I will support you unconditionally. If necessary, the connections I can awaken, including myself, can all do your bidding." Harry said very naively. , he stared at Du Lin closely, waiting for Du Lin's answer.
Du Lin smiled and asked, "What do you want?"
"My son will have a brilliant future!"
