Some people are stupid. They clearly know that they are overestimating their capabilities and making meaningless actions in an attempt to stop the rolling rocks falling from the top of the mountain. They still want to force a rating called "courage" on their stupid actions.
But stupidity is stupidity, and it does not mean that just because someone gives a stupid behavior a nice name or confuses some concepts, it will make it less stupid.
Because in this world, there are always some people who can see through the essence of things at a glance.
The conflict and hatred between Harry and Dulin are all in the past. For Harry, Dulin is like a rolling stone falling from the top of the mountain and moving faster and faster on the hillside. He is just a blade of grass. insect.
He would not be at odds with Du Lin like some of the lower-class people, nor would he accuse and curse him coldly, or treat him coldly and not have any contact with him for the rest of his life.
This is not in line with the values of Western society. The winner owns everything and decides everything. If you don't follow the winner at this time, use your own actions to write a great chapter of "sympathizing with each other, and the loser follows the winner". What are you waiting for
Harry's approach is what is most in line with the values of this society and is also closest to the real needs.
Maybe the little people will regard Harry's behavior as cowardly and laugh at it, but they will never understand that maybe twenty or thirty years later, they will see a politician in his prime rising and making everyone think. He looked sideways, and this person was Harry's son.
"Some people plan to leave the New Party..." This is the bargaining chip Harry uses to exchange for an opportunity. His time in the New Party and the connections he has managed far exceed Dulin. It can be said that he has been the "eldest prince" for more than ten years. " Harry, who has always been regarded as Magers' successor, has no knowledge of the New Party and an eye within the New Party that Dulin can match.
Du Lin already knew the news that he didn't know yet. Although he himself withdrew from the political stage and said goodbye to this bizarre stage, his son stood up again.
The continuation of a political life allows Harry's political legacy to be directly transferred to his children, and through his influence on his son, he indirectly continues to maintain weak control and influence on the political stage.
After all, everyone has some besties and true friends, and these are the people he can influence.
Du Lin took out a cigarette with an expressionless face. Harry did not whet his appetite for long, and then continued, "Part of the civilian faction, part of the aristocratic faction, including some middle-level cadres, the eldest prince gave them very good prescriptions." Conditions, these people have begun to perform their new jobs... "
The New Party is now leaderless. Mags has been hospitalized and has not shown up. Powers is busy attending various banquets and cocktail parties all day long, exchanging feelings with various capitalists or social figures. The chairman of the New Party Committee is basically in a state of semi-reclusion - he is Seclusion in his office.
Now the three real core figures of the New Party seem to have become a little... many people don't know how to describe how they feel now. It's like a child who was locked up in a small dark room because of poor test scores. They are frightened and uneasy in the face of the darkness. , and at a loss.
I want to actively save myself, but I can't find the way, and I end up walking farther and farther in the darkness.
This is the current situation of the New Party, because the failure of the election campaign led to Maggs announcing his retirement. After Powers came to power, he was indifferent and indifferent to the development of the party. The chairman of the New Party Committee rarely expresses his opinions. Now even internal Sometimes they don’t show up at meetings, or they don’t speak when they show up.
They are like parents. Because of the failure of the election, everyone has been abandoned. They have begun to ignore the new party. No one knows what to do now and what to do in the future. Everyone is confused.
At this time, the bribery from the imperialists is like a ray of sunshine shining into a small dark room. It can easily persuade some people who are restless and frightened. These people not only leave on their own, but they are still leaving. Before the New Party, more people were linked to leave the New Party and join the Imperial Party.
This is what Harry said about fulfilling a new job. If you can bring more good friends to join the Imperial Party, these defectors will get better treatment and be promoted more easily because they already have people here. "one's own people".
This kind of person's behavior has seriously damaged the interests of the new party. When a person chooses to leave, everyone may just feel a little regretful that he has chosen a wrong path.
When ten people leave, everyone will start to question what the problem is.
When a hundred people look like they are ready to leave, the remaining people will blindly start to follow the influence of the herd effect and choose to leave even though they may not intend to leave the new party.
Du Lin didn't know that the situation within the New Party was so serious now. He frowned slightly and said, "Isn't anyone coming out to caress them?"
Harry shrugged his shoulders. He took a piece of Paradise from the cigarette case on Dulin's table, lit it and took a puff of it happily. His whole sitting posture became a little loose.
If it were before, he would not have made such a move, because every move he made represented his unique identity and status, but now he doesn't care. He even often helps those who cannot afford to wear clothes because of poverty. Girl, let your overflowing love be relieved.
People will no longer chase after him and ask why he rescued those girls, because he is not the governor. These people reporting his behavior will not cause a strong response from society. A middle-aged man can relax while contributing love. What happened
Sometimes Harry also felt that after leaving the vortex, he seemed to have never been more relaxed, and even breathing became easier.
He had that kind of smile on his face, "Our President is a very rigid person. If you have the chance to meet him, you will know it."
"He is more like a noble in the ancient traditional sense. He will meticulously execute orders even though he knows they may be wrong. He puts all his attention on Powers, but you You know, Powers, he..."
Harry shrugged again, "He only thinks about benefiting himself now and doesn't care about other things at all. Of course, this has something to do with the Chairman."
In order to prevent Powers from using his power to interfere with the normal operation of the new party after becoming the leader of the new party and stuffing more people into key departments, Magers' last order before leaving was to adjust the new party structure and let the new party committee Power is equal to that of the new party leader.
This gave the new party committee chairman the ability to check Powers, as they were equal in rank within the party, both in terms of status and power.
After Powers came to power, he also wanted to do something to prove that although he might not be as good as Maggs, he would at least not be as weak as people thought.
However, due to the criticism from the Chairman, many of his decrees were unable to pass the vote of the New Party Committee. As time passed, he himself became tired of it and broke down.
If you give him face but not power, what else can he do
This caused the two most important core figures to deviate from the trajectory they should have been on. There was no problem before because Mags had not become what he is now. He could remotely command everything in the new party.
But he suddenly became like this. The "Big Three" lost their role at the same time, and tragedy was born.
In fact, the only person in the new party who is still working normally and trying to stabilize the situation is Dolly. However, as a fourth-ranking vice-chairman who has just taken office not long ago, it is difficult for her to command the entire new party, and it is difficult for her to control everyone's efforts. Emotions are taken care of.
This was also the reason why Dolly finally turned to Du Lin - she thought it would be too late if she didn't make a decision.
She is a very ordinary woman, with what looks like a happy and harmonious family, and some seemingly normal social networks, but in fact they really make her feel that she can rely on her and support her to survive. There is only one, and that is "our cause".
Magers' words made her regard the New Party as the most important thing in her life. She did not want the New Party to collapse, become corrupt, and eventually disappear into the long river of history.
It’s not just the Maggs’ cause, it’s their cause.
In the current situation, she believes that a strong leader is the best and only way to solve the current predicament of the new party, and Dulin can meet this requirement.
It's just that she hasn't talked to Du Lin about the current internal problems of the new party. First of all, she is too embarrassed to open her mouth. Her temper is a bit soft, and some words need to be forced on her by the reality of living alone before she can come out.
Secondly, Du Lin is not yet the vice-chairman of the New Party Committee. He is just a senior cadre of the New Party and has not entered the core of the party. He has no name to point fingers at these people.
So Dolly didn't mention this matter. Her idea was to keep persisting. There are still more than two years left until the mid-term general election. After the general election, these troublesome matters can be handed over to Du Lin.
She did not consider whether the new party could survive until the general election in two years after losing Maggs, the most important beacon in the "dark night plan".
After chatting with Harry for a while and asking him to bring the child over for him to take a look at when he had time, Dulin told Harry to get out and told the housekeeper to postpone his subsequent schedule for the time being.
He closed the door to the study, and after thinking for a moment and smoking a cigarette, he called Dolly.
Dolly was having a heart-to-heart talk with the member who was in a state of mind. She answered the phone and apologized, then sent the person out and closed the door.
When she mentioned the phone again, she opened her mouth to talk about her conversation with the Chairman, "I have discussed this matter with the Chairman. He has not made a decision yet. You have to give me some time..."
Du Lin was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile, "No, you misunderstood, that's not what I'm talking about. I heard that many people are planning to leave the New Party recently, right?"
Dolly didn't expect Du Lin to ask this question. She laughed twice and tried to change the subject, but finally sighed and told him the current situation.
After listening to Dolly's simple explanation, Du Lin flipped through the calendar on the table and asked, "When will the next party meeting be held?"
"A week later..."
The internal meeting of the new party committee will be held once a month. It mainly arranges the details of the party's work every month, handles all aspects of personnel relations, and then passes some simple decrees.
The monthly meeting does not require everyone to attend, but the semi-annual meeting requires all major members to attend. This mainly refers to new party members and party cadres who are at least the city councilor level.
The half-year meeting will summarize the development and gains and losses of the new party in the past six months, review or reward specific individuals and deeds, and then lay out the work plan and direction for the second half of the year. Several important decrees will be voted on at the meeting. Government decrees are all heavyweight and are often related to the political line and direction of the areas under the rule of the new party.
At this time, there is less than a week left before May and a month left until June. It is obvious that it is too late to wait for the half-year meeting. We can only show our faces at next month's meeting first and then wait. Will be in June.
When Dolly offered to attend the regular meeting in a week's time, although Dolly was surprised, she soon felt relieved, which is why she finally chose Du Lin.
His confidence, his courage, his lack of rules and his bastardism will indeed make people think that he is different from normal people, but when he and he are in the same camp and stand on the same position, he It will also give people a very secure feeling.
Dulin said hello in advance, and would arrange seats and seats for him when the time came, and even adjust the order of some speeches.
After hanging up the phone, Dolly leaned back heavily on the back of the chair. She pressed the two eye sockets with the palms of her hands and rubbed them gently. The tight hole in her heart was about to break. The strings were loosened.
She felt relaxed and at ease like never before, as if all the troubles and difficulties had left her. This feeling was like... just like the feeling when Mags hadn't been in trouble!
The news that Dulin was going to attend the monthly meeting soon spread within the new party. Members such as councilors and mayors from some surrounding cities who were qualified enough to attend the meeting took leave and planned to watch the fun.
The bustle here in the Imperial Capital is much more beautiful than other places. The interpersonal relationships here are so complicated that it is difficult for people to understand every thread. Naturally, they will have scruples and difficulty in making decisions. This also gives the Imperial Party the perfect cover to allow people to make decisions. They can poach people everywhere without restraint.
So these people want to come and see what Dulin plans to do. After all, he is the real successor of Mags!
