Chapter 1318: Join the war

Views:

"Leader Powers is still in a critical stage. The hospital, under the leadership of the medical group, has formed an expert group to jointly come up with a treatment plan. Judging from the internal information, he should not die."

In the author's office, which looks like a small conference room, there are seven men in different dark attires. Directly in front of them sits Holmes.

The overall style of this governor's office is metallic bright silver, but some people may think it is a kind of gray. The height of more than five meters and the simple style give this office a special minimalist industrial style.

The angular decoration lacked some elegance, but it also gained some edge. Powers sat behind a huge desk that was wide enough to be used as a small conference table, crossed his legs, and looked at the seven people outside the desk. Subordinates.

His shiny hair was meticulously combed into ravines, and even when he moved his head, the hair would not sway at all.

There was a faint light on his slightly greasy face. He looked at the seven people in front of him, supporting his chin with one hand, pressing the armrest with the other hand, and tapping the armrest with his fingers.

The person who spoke was his secretary, a handsome man who looked to be in his thirties, wearing a pair of glasses. He stood beside him and meticulously reported the news he had received from the imperial capital.

"We got some other information from some friends. Du Lin rushed to the Imperial Capital on the day of the incident and witnessed the whole thing. There is news that..." The male secretary stretched out his finger and pushed the bridge of his nose. Spectacle frames, "Dulin is also trying to get a position, deputy chairman of the committee."

Everyone gradually understood that Du Lin wanted to take a step forward. Although Du Lin did not make any surprising moves in the past year, his attitude of attending regular meetings from time to time has made people understand. He began to take the initiative to get involved in party work.

Inside the party and outside the party are two systems that are not closely related. At the middle and lower levels, working outside the party must have more practical power. After all, the power of a staff member of a certain office within the party is limited to the work he can handle.

Those outside the party have often begun to work in government departments. They have more places to reach out, not to mention official positions such as councilors and mayors, which give them even greater power.

But at the top, the power of party positions will gradually increase, because no matter how great those council members or mayors are, they cannot change the fact that the power in their hands comes from the party.

This sentence may seem a little funny, because the imperial government has always claimed that power comes from the people, and it is every citizen with the right to vote who casts a crucial vote to elect the main government officials they recognize.

That being said, if there is no intra-party nomination, first of all, candidates will not be able to obtain political resources from within and outside the party, which is also the most important core resource.

Officials, especially government officials who are qualified to govern a party, will publish their own policy agenda and development plans before and after they come to power. These things cannot be thought up by a few people in the office and have the ability to execute them.

This requires the mobilization and cooperation of resources inside and outside the party to make it possible for this policy platform and development plan to be implemented, so support within the party is very important.

Secondly, if the party committee decides to promote a member of the party organization to become the mayor or councilor of a certain area, then if someone wants to compete with the party's nominated member, he will not get any support, and the winning rate is almost zero.

Because compared to the power of individuals, no matter how you measure it, the power of the party is obviously greater. The help of those capitalists or social enthusiasts is naturally aimed at the party, not a certain individual behavior.

Combined with more small details, it is said that the higher the status within the party, the greater the power, because these people have gradually begun to grasp the distribution of power in certain areas, as well as the arrangement and transfer of important members of the party's organizations to work outside the party. .

Indeed, these people may be mayors, councilors, or key figures in important departments, but as long as a senior executive issues an executive order, it is enough for them to lose the power in their hands and even everything they have.

Dulin began to pay attention to and devote part of his energy to the work of the party, which is a trend in itself. He is reducing his state government work and deepening his influence within the party, which indicates that he has also begun to plan to obtain higher positions. status within the party.

Powers' accident is such an opportunity. From what we know so far, Powers' short-term recovery is minimal, and the timing of his accident was too clever.

If it were in other time periods, such as this time a year ago or this time a year later, he would have spent more time lying in the hospital receiving treatment.

But not now, because it is Golden March, and the mid-term elections are about to begin. Even though everyone knows that mid-term elections are mostly a formality, after all, they are called "general elections" to emphasize this time period. importance.

As a new party that was completely defeated by the old party in the last general election, it must show its tenacious and uplifting side to the public in this golden March, which is similar to a mid-term summary.

Let them see the hardworking side of the New Party, let people see that the New Party did not sink because it lost the election, but instead became more motivated to do better.

Therefore, the position of party leader who can represent the new party cannot be vacant. This will give the entire society a very terrible feeling. It will make people feel that the new party does not even have a leader now. It has not only lost to the old party, but also to the old party. If you lose yourself, this is absolutely impossible to happen.

So if Powers is unable to welcome the Golden March in good spirits within a month, the committee will choose a new successor to replace Powers and become the leader of the party.

At present, the image of the top leaders of the New Party, except for the presidium, has suffered a serious loss because of Du Lin. Du Lin will fiercely attack the party's top leaders every time he attends a regular meeting. It seems that criticizing these people is a correct political behavior.

This also makes it difficult for these senior leaders to get on the stage, so there are only four people left who can temporarily replace Powers as the leader of the new party.

One president, two vice-presidents, three presidents, and party whips.

The original plan for the party whip was for Dolly, but due to some other reasons, the position was still vacant, so the final result will be born among these three people.

It has only been four years since Dolly was promoted to the presidium as the chief executive of the Development Office. Her political performance is acceptable, but her qualifications are still lacking, and her achievements in party work are still lacking. Furthermore, no female leader has been born so far. precedent, so her chances are slim.

Another vice chairman is responsible for the work of the non-party department all year round. He has come into contact with too many people outside the party and lacks sufficient achievements within the party. At the same time, because his work direction is outside the party, he is not born with it. Qualified to be a leader.

Then there is only one person left who is a possible or inevitable candidate, and that is the Chairman.

These things are completely incomprehensible to laymen, especially ordinary people, but for those in the center of power, they are not too complicated.

Even Holmes had realized that Doolin had been planning this longer than he had, and that he was just staring eight years in the future, but Doolin had his sights squarely on the midterm elections.

Regardless of how well-prepared Dulin was, when he initiated this incident, he actually helped Holmes, so that Holmes did not need to wait another four years.

If the Chairman is elected and becomes the leader, and a Vice Chairman is promoted to the position of Chairman, there will be an additional vacancy for the Vice Chairman.

All governors and above are eligible to run for deputy chairman. It can be said that Dulin did everyone a big favor.

There was a dazzling light in Holmes's eyes, and the speed of tapping the handrail with his fingers began to increase. The secretary knew that Holmes had entered the thinking time, and closed his mouth in time.

In the huge office, there was only the sound of him tapping on the armrest and the echo. After about seven or eight minutes and fifty-five, six, seven, eight or ninety seconds, the tapping and the echo stopped at the same time, and everyone else's spirits were also lifted.

Holmes moved his shoulders and repositioned himself. His straight spine made him look much taller than before. He looked at the seven people outside the table and pursed his lips, "I will participate in this competition." , you all must be prepared..."

"I think the final result will be between me and Dulin. Others lost from the beginning of the game, so we have to focus mainly on Dulin for the next period of time."

"We each have advantages that the other cannot match. This will definitely be a difficult battle. I also hope that no one will hold me back... "

Holmes saw clearly that this election was not so much a competition between him and Dulin, but a collision between the overall strength of Ambiro State and Woodland State.

Such an important position cannot be decided by one person. This requires a vote by the committee.

Judging from the current situation of the New Party Committee, everyone has their own ideas. Due to the loss of personnel and the coercion and pressure from other parties, the New Party has been having a hard time this year.

Those who can leave have almost left, and the rest basically have more or less power, or are people who have been together for a long time.

They all have their own ideas and won't let anyone else have the final say, unless that person is Magus.

But even if it is Mags, for their own benefit, everyone may not dare to contradict Mags. For example, Holmes does.

If Maggs stands up now and asks him to withdraw from this competition, he will dare to directly contradict Maggs' request. He has "left" for a long time, and his influence on the new party has been destroyed at a terrible speed during his absence. A lot has been missing from people's fanatical and blind worship of him.

So if you want to get more people's support, you have to come up with practical information.

For these people, work is nothing more than two aspects.

The value of politics, as well as the development of the jurisdiction.

So both Holmes and Dulin have their own advantages.

The advantage of Homs is that as the first comprehensively industrialized city in the Empire, Woodland State can provide complete industrial infrastructure for any place and can also provide certain technical support.

This is very scary. For most areas at present, the green economy looks good but is not very realistic. Industrial development is a real thing.

Some cities have no industrial foundation, and there is no way to obtain all the basic conditions necessary for industrial development from other places, so they can only give up.

But if Holmes can provide these things, it will be enough to impress many mid-level and senior managers with the right to speak to vote for him.

Dulin's advantage does not lie in the green economic development of Ambluo State, but in the cash flow he gets every year from the currently popular Western Battle Royale competition and the development rights of the mineral deposits in the Yagul Mountains.

To put it in relatively straightforward terms, the money in his hands, a very large amount of money, is his biggest help.

If any city or region wants to develop rapidly, it cannot do without a correct direction and a large amount of financial support.

Dulin may not be able to give people the right direction, but he has enough funds to solve many problems, not to mention that he also accounts for 3% to 5% of the total income of the Audister District. , once the mineral vein resources of Yagur Mountain are developed, there will be a steady stream of countless cash.

As long as he is willing to lend money to some areas that are in urgent need of funds to break the development deadlock, those people will naturally vote for the generous Dulin.

Therefore, they each have their own advantages, and they still have to compete to determine the winner.

As for the top leaders of the party... they have already lost their chance due to Du Lin's continuous attacks, so there is nothing to be afraid of!

After arranging the next plan, Holmes set off for the Imperial Capital again. If he wanted to defeat Dulin in this game, he must have enough materials that he could use.

This material may not cause Dulin to lose his current job and power. Important officials at their level can no longer be captured by a simple scandal. What Holmes needs is to make Dulin have no intention of competing with him. A scandal that keeps him busy with other things. Only in this way does Holmes have a high chance of winning.

After he arrived in the imperial capital, he inquired about the circumstances of Powers' accident. Deep in his heart, he had a feeling that Powers' accident might not really be an accident.

Because everything is too coincidental. In the upcoming Golden March, Powers, who happens to have lost his ability to work, His Excellency the Chairman, who has been standing still, and Du Lin, who has been attending regular meetings frequently a year ago, all indicate that Du Lin will It seems that Powers had a premonition that such an accident would happen a year ago.

So can we think that Dulin was involved behind this incident

Holmes believes that it is very likely that if it can be proven that Powers' accident was caused by Dulin, then this scandal will be enough to defeat Dulin in one fell swoop.

While he arranged for his trusted servants to start investigating this, he took the initiative to contact the Chairman.

No matter what role the President played in this turmoil, Holmes must respect him and visit him first.
