Woodland State is a large industrial state in the southern part of the empire near the center. If you want to describe this state, it is more like the transformed Nano Lindes.
After the Civil War, the first governor of the Woodland State fought against all odds and vigorously developed the industrial base in the reconstruction work. For more than ten years, the Woodland State lagged behind in the economic development of all states in the empire. in other cities.
A large amount of infrastructure construction has cost the state government almost all of its budget, and it has also borrowed a lot of money from society, so that you can always see projects like "John's Road" and "Luther's Home" in the Woodland State. Road names and place names.
Capitalists generously donated their money to obtain the power to name roads or regions. State and local governments have benefited greatly from this. What is even more interesting is that the capital of Woodland State is called "Herlagas", which is The name of the largest industrial group in the Woodland State.
They spent 1.65 million to buy the right to name the capital of Woodland State. This business was obviously very cost-effective. With a sum of money, their group's name was forever engraved on the map of the empire, and even on the map of the world.
The complete industrial infrastructure finally began to see the light of day for the entire state fourteen to five years ago. That would be the critical moment for Magus to adjust his direction, begin to comprehensively develop the empire's economy, and start the battle for the revival of the empire.
A large amount of infrastructure work throughout the empire began to be fully carried out. The Woodland State, which was already ahead of others, passed the construction period and began to enter the harvest period.
Even now, when talking about the completeness of the industrial foundation and supporting facilities, as well as the variety of light and heavy industries, Woodland State is still at the forefront of the empire.
It can be said that Governor Holmes of Woodland State has raised Woodland State to a higher level during his ten years in office. As a former outstanding member of the new party, Holmes, who was born in an aristocratic family, was thirty-eight or nine years old. When he was ten years old, he was entrusted with the important task of taking over the important task of governor of Woodland State from Maggs.
In fact, this is not an easy job to complete, because the previous governors of Woodland State have developed this week to a very good point. If the successors cannot create more and greater brilliance on their basis, , then it will be regarded as a sign of incompetence.
Under such tremendous pressure, Holmes resolutely took over this somewhat hot position and completed the tasks entrusted to him by the new party and the cabinet in his work.
If we do not compare the pure financial industry alone, the development of the Woodland State ranks second among southern cities, second only to Corvillis, one of the states bordering the Union.
This level and speed are enough for him to give people a satisfactory answer, so since three or four years ago, he has been planning to run for deputy chairman of the new party committee and has already begun to implement it.
If Maggs hadn't retired just in time, helped Powers become a regular member, and arranged for Dolly to be appointed vice chairman, it is very likely that Maggs would have chosen Holmes to take office as the party's vice chairman.
He has rich work experience and is recognized by people as having successful work experience. He can completely suppress some voices within the party. He happens to be fifty years old this year, and he is old enough and just right.
Unfortunately, Maggs' sudden announcement of retirement disrupted his plans and forced him to wait a little longer.
Dulin immediately realized that Holmes was his direct competitor. Maybe Holmes also saw the current crisis of the new party and realized that a strong person needed to stand up and rectify the current atmosphere and situation within the party.
No matter who this person is, as long as he succeeds in doing it, a leader or even a prime minister will be indispensable in the future.
So he has already started active activities. Contacting Odegaard is only his first step. Once he is allowed to enter the ruling class of the new party committee, Dulin will probably have nothing to do with him.
For someone who has worked in the New Party for so many years, his connections and audience within the New Party are definitely beyond Dulin's reach.
The purpose of the Chairman's reminder to Du Lin is also here. If he really wants to work hard, then he must do it as soon as possible, because his opponent has already appeared.
Facing this opponent, Du Lin felt a little headache while reviewing his information, because this opponent was completely different from the opponents he had to face in the past.
He uses some extraordinary methods to deal with those small characters who are not on the stage. No one cares about how the little people are doing or whether they have any grievances. The big shots don't care at all.
Being wronged means that the organization values you and is testing you. If you cannot bear this small grievance, how will you work on behalf of the organization in the future
But the problem now is that Holmes's status has outgrown this stage. If you want to move him, you can't use some unsightly methods. You must defeat him from the front and in an honest way.
It is actually not difficult to defeat an enemy in politics. In other words, it is not difficult to defeat all enemies. As long as you find the weaknesses and loopholes of the opponent, Dulin has never communicated with Holmes before, but Holmes Perhaps Du Lin had been regarded as an enemy for a long time.
Otherwise, he would not have chosen to come to the Imperial Capital to meet with the Chairman immediately after he participated in the monthly meeting. Do you really think that the governor's work is so leisurely
If we want to defeat Homs openly, it will take a long time just to collect information.
After thinking twice, Dulin called Eric. He got a blinding credit from Mr. Pitt for nothing, and there was no reason not to pay something for it.
As a star politician with ideals, ambitions, bottom line, integrity and social responsibility, Dulin has always believed that equal and friendly transactions are a necessary condition for both parties to maintain harmonious relations.
If any party violates this criterion, it will inevitably lead to conflicts and eventually lead to a win-win situation, instead of a lose-lose situation.
After Eric answered the phone, he chatted with Dulin. The line of the Military Intelligence Office itself was an encrypted line. In addition, Dulin used an encrypted line above the governor level, so it was impossible for anyone to monitor and record.
The politics of terror have always been disliked by everyone, whether they are those in power or those who are dormant and waiting for the opportunity.
"I want information about Holmes. By the way, ask Mr. Pitt if he knows anyone or anything related to Holmes or the Woodland State." Dulin went straight to the topic as soon as he got up.
If there is any department in this country that knows these politicians very well, then it must be the Imperial National Security Council and the Imperial Army Intelligence Analysis Operations Division. Their powers can to a certain extent detect the secrets of some officials, but they do not It would go too deep.
Just like Dulin, they checked a whole room of files regardless of whether they checked or not, so Eric would definitely have Holmes' files in his hands.
Secondly, as Mr. Peter is the envoy of the Earth God Religion, the influence of the Earth God Religion at its peak has long gone out of the west and spread throughout the empire. There are still various secret activities in the name of the Earth God Religion outside the west. , it is inevitable that some people from the Woodland State will be corrupted by the Earth God Cult.
As long as you have these clues, it will not be difficult to find Holmes's weakness.
There are always some ignorant people in society who view all affairs in the light of conspiracy theories, so that they are often deceived by a small group of enemy agents with ulterior motives and commit wrong actions.
Many people say that it is a conspiracy when something they cannot understand happens, such as when an official is suddenly stopped from work and is under review. In fact, how can there be so many conspiracies
The side that an official or a public figure shows to the bottom of society is always his best side. Even if there are some at the bottom of society who are unwilling to believe what they show, there is no evidence that can break their lies. .
But for people of Du Lin's level, it's really easy to find the mistakes someone made. All it takes is a phone call and an instruction, and hundreds of people will collect all kinds of evidence for him.
This is not a conspiracy, it’s just that everyone’s levels are different.
Eric knew that this matter was going to be difficult to handle when he received Du Lin's call. When he first picked up the phone, he didn't know what Du Lin wanted him to do, but with Du Lin's current status, what else did he need? If he does it, it must be something difficult to do.
After Dulin finished his request, he felt even more embarrassed. The Military Intelligence Office did have some files on Holmes, but access to these files required the signature of the access personnel.
In other words, whether he asks others to check or checks it himself, as the top officer of his department, his name will definitely be included in the signature.
It would be okay if nothing happens, but if something happens, he will definitely be implicated, and it also involves Peter, an important prisoner.
Peter's arrest can be said to be the biggest successful case of the Military Intelligence Agency in recent years. Eric encountered several waves of armed attacks during his return, including people from the Security Committee and the Knights of the Rose.
Why is he so important? Because he holds in his hands evidence of the deaths of hundreds of politicians and tycoons in the western and southern political circles. These things are even enough for the imperial cabinet to set up a department specifically for this purpose to handle this information.
In the end, the Military Intelligence Office and the Ministry of National Defense mobilized an army wing from the Central Military Region to properly bring Peter back to the Military Intelligence Headquarters.
Now even for Eric, the man who "personally" caught Pete, it is very difficult to meet Pete alone. It requires layers of review before they can be approved to meet alone, or someone will Accompany you every step of the way.
The two things Du Lin said were troublesome, which annoyed Eric, but he couldn't refuse forcefully.
Whether it is the previous transaction or the current transaction, he is on the weak side, although he gets the most reward.
Once Du Lin plans to break up with him, Du Lin will not have any problems. Judging from these transactions, Du Lin does not have any violation of laws and regulations. On the contrary, it can be said that he has made meritorious services.
Whether he revealed the Freedom Front's foothold in the west and allowed them to massacre the slaves, or later fed Eric and other information to him, it can be said that Dulin actually reported the issues he knew to the right person. .
It can even be said that Eric did not have any fault in this. He did not let these criminals and illegal activities go for his own selfishness, and even wiped out these criminal forces, if he did not hide some problems.
After much consideration, Eric still tried to refuse Du Lin's request with some lack of confidence, because it really embarrassed him, "Du Lin, if I can do it, I will definitely help you immediately, and I also hope that we can make it happen." The relationship is more harmonious, but you know, some of the things you ask me to do cannot be accomplished easily and smoothly. You have to understand my situation. "
After he finished speaking, he felt a little lucky, and waited for Du Lin's answer with some anxiety. About ten seconds later, Du Lin's voice came from the phone, "I am a very reasonable person, and I rarely let Others do things beyond their capabilities, so no one has ever rejected me.”
"If you mean that you can't do it, you can't complete my request, you can tell me the answer loudly and directly, 'I can't do it' or 'I refuse'. We are friends and there is no need to put simple questions into words." The problem is complicated and I will not give you more consideration for your free decision.”
"So what's your choice, Eric? Just tell me the answer!"
Eric suddenly fell silent, and his mood became worse, because Du Lin was threatening him, but he couldn't find any sentences or words that might threaten him from Du Lin's words, but He knew that Dulin was threatening him.
Faced with Du Lin's threat, Eric realized that he was not as tough as he thought. In a trance, he seemed to see his partner who fell to the ground and was beaten into a sieve, and the person who beat him to death was Du Lin's people.
If that guy hadn't died, maybe he and his wife were very much in love, and he wouldn't have had a chance. He would have had a child, and then he would have slowly increased his level, and finally he might have reached the position of the highest executive in a certain office before retiring. .
But it all ended with those bullets. No one would remember him, and no inscription related to his real work could even be written on his tombstone.
In the eyes of most people, he was just a salesman who traveled frequently and then died in an accident in the West.
After about a minute of silence, Eric opened his mouth, and his lips that had lost some moisture stuck together, making him feel a little blocked when he opened his mouth to speak, "I... can give it a try, but I can't guarantee it." I succeed."
"Of course, of course, my friend, I won't blame you even if you fail, and I'm sure you will succeed, right?"
Eric smiled bitterly and said, "I hope..."
"No, it must be!" Du Lin's reply was very fast and very determined, "You are the best person!"
