After the examination at twelve o'clock at night, the doctors in the clinical laboratory returned to their posts, continuing to stare at the instrument data in front of them or starting new work.
The observers in Mags' room have also left. Mags's condition is now very stable and does not require long-term observation. Although his condition has not progressed much, there are changes after all.
The head of the department no longer pays as much attention to Maggs as before, and has seen gratifying changes in the clinical manifestations of other patients.
Many patients have made great progress in their condition. One of the patients with cerebral palsy has begun to receive primary education, which was almost impossible in the past.
Other patients have received more or less good news, which means that this drug can pass the test in terms of clinical performance and efficacy. The next thing to consider is how to maximize its value.
Although it is a pity that Maggs cannot speak out as an experiencer, for the medical group, the curative effect is the most important.
This drug has not been targeted at the ordinary class since its birth. Every technological advancement and every medical breakthrough is not to serve the poor. The poor simply cannot afford the expensive research expenses and the group’s expected profits, so these Era-changing breakthroughs are made to serve the rich and powerful.
The establishment of any project will have a detailed plan, and the same goes for this drug. In the plan, it mainly serves aristocratic groups and some large consortiums.
Whether they are nobles or large financial groups, they are often a group with a high incidence of close relatives, and they are also a group with a high incidence of brain diseases.
In order to ensure the purity of their bloodlines, the nobles encouraged and promoted the purification of bloodlines through incest. This also resulted in many pure-blood nobles suffering from brain diseases, mental retardation, or cerebral palsy.
Those consortiums are to ensure that the property belonging to the family does not flow out. If family members are unwilling to give up their shares, then close relatives must form a union to ensure the safety of the family property.
A large part of the genetic defects caused by inbreeding will be reflected in the process of embryonic development, and the brain is the hardest hit area. If this drug can effectively solve the problem of mentally retarded groups in these famous families, department heads and medical groups will For this he gained astonishing wealth and the friendship of more powerful people.
After all, no one wants to give birth to a retarded child, and this retarded child may also have part of the family wealth.
Spending a small amount of money to solve some embarrassing and sad things is absolutely impossible to lose money.
As for the needs of the middle and lower classes of society... if they have money, the medical group will not mind selling more medicines.
Maggs's slow recovery no longer attracts the attention of the department head. In addition to the stable dosage of medication, only two weeks of regular check-ups will bring more people together here.
After the bed check at midnight on weekdays, no one would come to this room again.
Watching the door slowly close, Mags sat up from the bed.
He moved his upper limbs, then got out of bed and walked around the room.
His room was not transparent. As the most powerful man in the empire, no one dared to let Mags live in a transparent observation room and be observed like a monkey.
This also provides him with great convenience, such as getting up in the middle of the night to move around and... talk.
While watching TV, he kept repeating what the host said to ensure that his communication skills had not deteriorated due to long periods of inactivity.
Some things at the genetic level degenerate or evolve very slowly, but some things are very fast.
Someone once did an experiment where a person was locked in a separate room and no one was allowed to communicate with him or speak.
In just one year, the prisoner lost his ability to speak. Even though he knew deep down how to pronounce and speak, his body honestly told him that he could no longer do it.
Not only that, when medical staff examined his vocal cords, they found that the originally healthy vocal cords had some distortions.
This experiment is very famous. It is called the "Body Function Degeneration Experiment". It achieves rapid degradation by stopping human beings' behavioral abilities that are almost "instinct".
Mags had heard about this, so he had been secretly practicing the normal behavior of his limbs and the ability to speak.
[The above are all nonsense, don’t believe it! !]
About half an hour later, he returned to the hospital bed with a slight sweat dripping from his body. At 6 o'clock tomorrow morning, medical staff will come to change his hospital clothes, sheets and quilt covers.
At this time, he focused all his attention on the TV program. The host had been discussing the great changes that had taken place in the New Party in recent times, as well as the most widely circulated gossip on the market.
Looking at Dulin, looking at Holmes, looking at Odegaard, watching more people's heads flashing across the screen, Mags' inner world became increasingly calm.
Dulin made an appointment with Kubal the next morning and met him in the Prime Minister's Office.
Yokubal came three days ago, but he waited three days to see Kubal. This wasn't because Kubal didn't see him, but because he was really busy.
The Golden March is not only the Golden March for the New Party, but also the Golden March for the Old Party. The Old Party, which endured for thirty years before defeating the New Party and becoming the new Party leader, has already reached the sky with its desire for victory and continued victory.
In the past thirty years, they have never been active on the political stage of the empire as a ruling party, and naturally they cannot feel the difference between power and authority more clearly.
But this victory made them feel that the same power brings different experiences to people at different times.
To put it simply, after the old party became the ruling party, what they said was more effective. People did not need to pick their buttocks and raise their palms to swear, so people would believe what they said, even if it seemed It doesn't seem like the truth.
They are the ruling party, and people naturally trust the ruling party because they are the ruling party personally elected by the people.
For this trust, the Old Party is also preparing to hold a grand propaganda campaign to ensure that the Old Party's position on the current imperial political stage will not be shaken.
A large number of senior party officials and relevant personnel had things to discuss with Kubal. Coupled with the daily work of the cabinet, he was already very busy and had to squeeze out some time for Dulin.
"Let's do something straight, time is limited!" Kubal tapped the watch on his wrist. He had a meeting in fifteen minutes. Originally, he squeezed out these fifteen minutes to rest for himself. , but considering Dulin's current importance, he needed to respect Dulin's wishes, so he gave him a fifteen-minute break.
Dulin was not the kind of person who couldn't grasp priorities. He directly made a request, "When necessary, I hope that you and some important people in the old party can stand up and support me..."
Kubal blinked. He looked at Du Lin's expression, which looked a little at a loss. "Sorry, I seemed to have heard wrongly. You just said... that you want people from the old party to support you?" Du Lin nodded and confirmed him. This statement made Kubal even more dumbfounded. "If you let those people denounce you, they may be very happy, but if you let them support you...", he shook his head, "it is not that easy."
"We..." He stretched out his hands, one pointed at himself and the other at Dulin, and the two fingers were brought together and separated. "You are from the new party, and I am from the old party. On a certain level, we We stand on the same ground, but beyond this level, we are still different.”
"They will do anything but not support an important figure in the new party, I firmly believe that."
The relationship between the New Party and the Old Party has been going on for a long time. The founders of these two political parties were actually Magers. This was his idea, and then he handed over the work of the Old Party to Kubal. , so Kubal became the leader of the old party.
The establishment of the new party and the old party respectively was actually to stabilize the chaotic aristocratic politics and new political circles in the empire. It used the simplest and most general way to divide the politicians in the empire into two parts, and then blurred their detailed hatred and divided them into two parts. Personal hatred turned into partisan hatred.
The advantage of this is that it facilitates the management of political strife and revenge among politicians, and makes all uncontrollable things controllable.
Regardless of whether these people have greater ideals and pursuits, they will be given them when they join the new party or the old party.
Effective utilization and control is the value and significance of the existence of the New Party and the Old Party. Although the two can be regarded as the ruler's means of governance, they have indeed been hostile to each other for many years. Even if Kubal told the truth, the Old Party People will not let go of their hatred for the New Party and New Party members.
This is not something that can be erased in a few words or three to five days. Its existence has even exceeded many people's concept of time. It has become a natural habit to integrate this hostile relationship into the flesh and blood.
So when Dulin said he hoped people from the old party could support him, Kubal immediately raised objections.
"You may not know that the people in the conference room are going to spend no less than three hours in the afternoon discussing how to sink the new party forever without giving it a chance, but now you want me and the old party to People support you, this can only be a joke, Dulin."
Dulin shrugged, "No, Mr. Prime Minister..." Dulin was very serious when he said this, but for some reason, there was always an awkward feeling, as if it was a bit ironic, although he Didn't do that.
Maybe the word Prime Minister is often associated with Maggs, so much so that people always think of Maggs as the Prime Minister, so when talking about Mr. Prime Minister, Dulin gives Dulin the wrong impression.
He calmed down a little and continued, "This may have been the case before, but it is no longer the case from today on, because we have some new enemies, the Labor Party and the Imperial Party."
"The Labor Party, which has millions of party members and has been developing silently, and the Imperial Party, which has already taken some advantages, are our biggest enemies."
"In the past, we may have been enemies, but in the new era, we have common enemies, so before defeating these enemies, we can become friends first."
Many people have so far focused on the New Party, the Old Party and the Imperial Party. Recently, as the New Party continues to decline, people have begun to pay more attention to the Old Party and the Imperial Party, but they have ignored the Labor Party.
If there is anyone in the entire empire who is most likely to become the gatekeeper at the next general election, then the Labor Party is the most likely.
According to the assessment of some statistical agencies in Sherry Street, during the general election four years later, the number of registered members of the Labor Party may exceed 8.5 million, and may even exceed 10 million.
What is this concept
A labor force of 10 million means 10 million families. Based on the average number of people in each family of four, the Labor Party will affect the choices of 40 million people, or even more.
By the end of last year, the total population of the entire empire, including foreigners, had just exceeded 220 million. This means that the Labor Party has captured one-fifth of the empire's population just because of its influence within the party.
Add to that their influence in society, and the idiots who choose to follow the crowd and vote the hard way, and they have the potential to get a third or more of the vote.
What does this mean
It is very likely that the so-called major parties will become the stepping stones of the Labor Party. Compared with the two parties and the imperial party that are constantly at odds with each other and full of scandals, the Labor Party does not care about the gains and losses at this stage and does its best to develop its organizational foundation.
A large part of the populist faction who left the New Party this time went to the Labor Party, which further improved the Labor Party's political shortcomings. Once this party has the ability to compete with the ruling party, they will become a continuous force in the imperial political circle. Years of disaster!
Dulin looked at Kubal and said softly, "We should ensure that power is in the hands of the most suitable people, rather than being abused by those who do not know how to use power."
Dulin's words made Kubal start to think more deeply about this issue. As he thought for longer and longer, he had vaguely understood what Dulin wanted to express.
Facing the menacing Imperial Party and the silent Labor Party, the only way to resist them now is cooperation.
The secretary's sudden knock on the door brought Kubal out of his thoughts. He looked at Dulin, hesitated for a while, and then tried to say, "If you are confident, why not join me for the next one?" Meeting."
"Then you go and convince them. I believe it will be more valuable and meaningful for you to convince them than for me to convince them!"
Dulin didn't expect Kubal to say such words. He nodded hesitantly, "Maybe I can give it a try."
