The news of Holmes's arrival in the imperial capital was not deliberately hidden from the outside world. The value of "surprise soldiers" in political contests was not as great as imagined, and sometimes it even had the opposite effect.
The political environment and the battlefield environment can never be the same. The value of the surprise troops on the battlefield lies in creating information asymmetry and hiding some information from the other party.
The opponent's calculations will naturally not produce the effect that this part of information will have in the entire war deduction, and will ultimately use this unequal information difference to win.
Politics is different. If war is an overall calculation and deduction project that combines many factors and complete data, then politics is a compromise transaction between countless individuals. This kind of transaction happens every moment. In constant evolution.
If Holmes hides himself, it will create a situation where he has not been involved in the matter. People will abandon Holmes's important code in the transaction process, so that in a series of In the transaction, he will be excluded from the scope of the transaction by these people.
We all know that a person's position in society comes from the value he can bring to society. The same is true in the political arena. If a person cannot bring value to something, then he is not a "necessity". People will avoid him.
When he plans to bring out this amazing force, not only will he not get people's support, but it will also arouse people's opposition. This is why every major political event that can affect the direction of history will be started by the person who ignited the war from the beginning. Both sides took the initiative to diffuse the atmosphere of war.
They need more active participation and support from people.
So Holmes didn't even think about whether he would be discovered. He showed up in the New Party Office Building with great fanfare, and then went to visit the Chairman.
This meeting between the two people took place in the office of the Chairman.
"Is Mr. Powers's situation optimistic?" He said nonsense. Before he arrived in the imperial capital, he already knew that Mr. Powers's situation was not just optimistic, but he still asked, "This It will be a heavy blow to our future work.”
The Chairman nodded. The "next work" that Holmes mentioned refers to the answer sheets, or achievement sheets, that the New Party will present to all levels of society during the golden March period.
How they have done in the past four years, to what extent they have achieved it, and what achievements they have accomplished can be bragged about at this time.
Some people call the golden March of the mid-term election a tacit group political advertising time. Every official will use various methods to promote himself and suppress his enemies.
This doesn't seem like a good thing, because politicians will spend this time telling lies and bragging about themselves, and they won't have much thought for work.
But in fact, the Golden March was the most efficient time period for government work in the past four years, bar none.
Because at this time, every politician must show their best side to the people. They must maintain an efficient government operation system and ensure that superior officials will not be held responsible because of problems in their own links.
As for the problem of reduced office efficiency after the golden month of March... people will soon forget these things in the busy work life and cheap entertainment.
Yes, our people are so kind and generous, easily satisfied and forgetful.
As the leader of the new party, Powers will inevitably need to attend many important meetings and activities during the Golden March and deliver at least six public speeches, but he can't do that now because it is difficult for him to do so. Recover in a short time.
If the leader of the new party does not appear, people will inevitably lose confidence in the new party. Now this is no longer a problem of a few people, but a problem that the entire new party needs to face.
Even if Holmes doesn't say it now, someone will mention it at the regular meeting later and initiate a vote to elect a new leader to replace Powers and preside over the normal work of the new party as soon as possible.
The Chairman clasped his hands together into fists and put them on the desk. Then he nodded, "That's true. I have already communicated with the ministers. We plan to elect a new leader for the time being." The current difficulty is that there will be a vote later on whether Mr. Powers needs to be in charge of the work after he recovers.”
Everyone is talking nonsense, but this nonsense is valuable. Holmes coughed lightly, "I think you are the most suitable candidate, whether it is work ability, resume or experience, only you are the most suitable person." "
The Chairman smiled implicitly and said, "I will respect and support the results of the committee's vote."
This is also nonsense, but in the process of these two people talking nonsense together, some information was exchanged.
First, it is certain that Powers will temporarily lose his identity as the leader of the new party. After all, he will need a long period of recovery before he can stand up again. The new party cannot wait for him for that long. The replacement will be elected through committee voting. However, it has already been It has been decided by default that it is Your Excellency the Chairman.
Second, the top leadership of the new party has now formed a unity of opinion, which also means that a new chairman and a new vice-chairman may have been born. This needs further confirmation.
Third, the result is determined through a vote by the new party committee. Regardless of whether they have selected a new vice-chairman, Holmes has enough opportunities to fight for this position, because the voting meeting requires a vote by all organizational members, even if the top leaders have already decided on Du Lin, as long as he can get enough votes, can still win.
Unless the presidium and ministers give up even the last bit of dignity, they can do something to negate the voting results.
As for the fourth, Holmes also realized that the cause of all this must be related to Dulin, and only in this way would things suddenly break out and be pushed forward so fast that he almost missed it This opportunity.
After talking some nonsense, Holmes walked out of the President's office with a reserved and confident smile similar to that of a winner, as if he had lifted up Victory's dress and pushed Victory onto the bed. —Victory is a girl.
This expression made some people who saw him think wildly. Sometimes people are like this. They always believe in their own eyes and ears more than their own IQ.
After all, in the execution sequence of intelligent creatures like humans, the instinctive execution sequence is always higher than the rational execution sequence.
Soon rumors began to circulate within the new party that the Chairman intended to promote Holmes, and it spread throughout the imperial capital and the entire empire at an incredible speed.
Even workers who are engaged in some kind of primitive, intense and highly repetitive manual work are very unhappy to be interrupted by the continuous ringing of the phone. They pick up the receiver panting and get information from some insiders. these messages.
"This is just the first step..." In the villa in the imperial capital, Holmes and his men who were gradually arriving gathered together and began to assign tasks to them. "This news must not only spread within the new party, we I want you to spread the word and let more people know this news and think it is true.”
The power of rumors is very terrifying. When everyone thinks that a female cousin is selling her body and dignity to save her family that is about to break up, people will regard her as a saint, even though she can change A decent job with dignity to support her family, even though her family just seems to be in trouble.
Rumors drive public opinion, and the direction of public opinion is often in the direction of "truth." Many people at the bottom of society who are not qualified and have no way to know more about the true content of a certain matter will blindly obtain it from other places and have obvious tendencies. The content is taken as a reference for real factors, and a specious conclusion is finally drawn.
Then these people will position this conclusion as the truth they have, and use the truth with double stupid standards such as "I know the truth" and "The truth I know is that you don't know" to get deeper into this society and society. in social activities.
These people will basically be exploited by people. In some media and newspapers, the "angry people" and "deceived people" described by writers often refer to these people.
They are always hurt by their own stupid self-righteousness, and then they obey the control of those who are really behind the scenes, who really hold the truth, and turn "I lied to myself" to "Others lied to me" to achieve more terrifying goals.
Every year, some celebrities, celebrities and politicians fall to such stupid public opinion. No one will explain everything behind it. Will listen to the truth.
Therefore, the battle of public opinion is often the first battlefield opened in political struggles. Holmes understood this very clearly, and he immediately launched an offensive, regardless of whether the person opposite was Dulin or someone else.
"Second, I heard that Powers' secretary witnessed him falling down the stairs. I don't understand the process of this tragedy. Please help me bring that lady here safely. Don't scare her. "
"Third, I believe we have collected a lot of material about Dulin during this year. Now I need you to sort through these materials and find out what is valuable to us and can be used, including some of the previous ones. Material."
When he said this, he paused for a moment, frowned and hesitated for a while, "Fourth, arrange for someone to keep an eye on Du Lin. It's best not to let him find out. I need to know who he meets every day from now on. It would be better if we could know what he said..."
Holmes's style of doing things has an "industrial style" that he himself was not aware of. Everything is clearly listed and then handed over to specialized people to take charge of. Of course, this may also be what he does in Woodland State. A habit developed over the years.
Just as he thought, no matter what, Dulin would be his biggest enemy and stumbling block, and he would not be able to rely on others.
The news of Holmes's arrival in the imperial capital soon reached Dulin's ears along with the news that he had obtained the support of the Chairman. Before he even met Holmes, Holmes targeted him very accurately. .
This made Dulin feel a little bit novel. What on earth could make Holmes so accurate that he would definitely become his opponent
But now that Holmes has taken action, Dulin will also take action, but not now.
The collision between the hunter and the prey often results in the hunter winning. It is not that the physical fitness of the hunter exceeds that of the prey, but that the hunter can think and arrange corresponding measures based on the prey's actions to completely defeat the prey!
His main job now is to chat with Kubal, which sounds stupid because Kubal can't interfere with the work of the new party committee.
But don't forget that Kubal is not only the leader of the old party and the current prime minister of the cabinet, but also Magus's closest friend and one of the representatives of the imperial nobility.
At present, the largest number of people among the new members are members of the aristocratic faction. It is difficult to persuade these people to vote for themselves in the vote, but it is very simple to persuade Kubal.
As long as Kubal can support himself, not only will he have a much higher chance of obtaining the position of vice chairman, but he will also have a greater chance of winning in the next general election - according to the empire's charter and legal provisions, the power of voting is free, in other words People from the old party can also vote for the candidates of the new party in the Imperial Parliament!
That's right, by mobilizing people from the old party to become your biggest boost, you can not only defeat Holmes, but also have a chance to defeat the raging Imperial Party in the general election, as well as the Labor Party, which currently has the largest number of party members!
Compared to Holmes, Dulin believes that the Labor Party and the Imperial Party are his real opponents. Once he loses too many seats in the Imperial Parliament, although this is an inevitable result, he is likely to lose the election in four years' time. Losing, only by uniting the people of the old party can this matter be established.
Even in the deepest part of Dulin's heart, there is a very interesting thought.
For example... why can't the new party annex the old party and become the most powerful party in the empire
There is no irreconcilable conflict between the two parties. This is entirely possible. Moreover, the leadership and core members of the political party after the merger will still be held by nobles. There will not be much difference between the new party and the old party. .
Everyone is working hard for the upcoming Golden March or paying attention to what is about to happen, even Maggs is no exception.
The content about Golden March was being played in the quiet ward, and there were not many stiff muscles that were difficult to regulate on his calm face.
After a year of treatment, his problem has made great progress. Although he cannot complete all actions according to his own will, he has been able to express some simple contents through writing in a short period of time.
Looking at the cheerful Dulin and Holmes on the background of the chat show, as well as his old friend Count Odega, Mags' eyes looked a little strange.
