In the end, Harry's trip to Otis City did not take place, because Dulin returned to Namirinds to continue "recuperating" from his injuries. He was still an injured person and naturally should not be running around.
The distance from Leeds to Namirindes is not far. It is said that the empire initially planned to place the capital of Philemon State in Namirindes, but later it was considered that Namirindes was a transportation hub and had unique economic advantages. , but lacking in culture, so the empire arranged the capital of Philemon State in Leeds.
There is also an unreliable theory. It is said that the nobles of Leedshua had an affair with the eldest princess at that time, so the capital was settled in Leeds. For this reason, the nobles of Namirindes almost had to fight with the nobles of Leedshua because of this. A pretty-faced nobleman started a war. Of course, all this is in the past, the truth has been deeply buried by history, and no one will pursue what the truth is for this matter.
Harry arrived at Namirinds from Leeds at about ten o'clock in the morning. He carried some fruits and some pastries, and then asked all irrelevant people to leave the ward. He needed to talk to Dulin alone.
"There may be some misunderstandings between us that have affected our friendship, but Dulin, you should understand that I have never harmed you, and I have tried my best to meet your requests, including your decision to establish a special zone. I also contributed a lot." Harry looked at Du Lin sincerely. He had to speak out before Du Lin knew the truth to show his honesty, "So I don't want anything else to deepen our relationship again. I can guarantee that everything I did was never intended to harm you."
Dulin was silent for a moment. Just as Harry guessed, Dulin still didn't know whether what Darcy said was true. But from the moment Harry entered this ward, Dulin understood that Darcy had not lied to him. The entire empire can count on two hands the number of people who can direct the top leaders of the New Party to do dirty work, and more than half of them are closely related to Maggs. With Maggs' political ambitions, it is impossible for him to do such a thing.
Then one of the remaining people must be the leader of this matter. At first, he suspected that the person who directed the deputy director of the police department was a member of the Cape family, but now he knew that this person was Harry. He looked at Harry and shrugged his shoulders. He did not immediately express that he could understand Harry's "difficulties." Instead, he asked, "Why?"
"Because it's stable!" Harry couldn't help but take out his cigarette case as he said it. Just when he was about to take out the cigarette and was about to light it, he realized that this was the ward. He said sorry and threw the cigarette in his mouth to the ground. After stepping on it, Du Lin took out a cigarette and lit it. He smiled, took out a cigarette again and took a drag, "Why can't we pin the old party to the ground without giving them a chance to resist even though we have so many advantages and supporters?"
He pointed to the sky outside the window and said: "Because of those consortiums, because of those capitalists. Almost the vast majority of the members of the old party are composed of nobles, large and small, and people related to the nobles. These people inherently have great advantages. , that is, they have money. Coupled with their methods of collecting money in their own territory, the old party has ample resources to distribute. As long as they use money, they can keep their camp unshakable, and as long as there is a consortium, they can rule it. people have a decent job.”
"The consortium and capital power are too important to us. Let's not talk about it remotely, let's talk about your city of Otis. If there are not so many construction sites and projects going on, do you think your policies can be implemented smoothly in Otis City? Expand?" He shook his head and laughed, "No, no, if you want to get people's support, you must first give them what they want. It is precisely because a large number of capital forces invest in Otis City. , so when people get real benefits, they will support you who bring capital power. "
He turned around and spread his arms, "And everything I do is for stability."
"The Chant Consortium headed by the Capet family has a great reputation in the north. The north is the region with the most nobles in the empire and the strongest financial resources. Perhaps you can see from the financial statements that the economic construction in the south is faster than that in the north. , but what you see is only what you can see, and there are many things you cannot see. We need the support of the northern nobles. Only if they support us will they not support the old party. "
"Do you know Memnon?" Dulin nodded, and Harvey pointed casually, "This is a very ambitious guy. After this election, he will almost be able to take over the entire Anhuai Ming State. , both the new party and the old party will be driven away by him, do you know why? "
Du Lin pondered for a moment and asked, "Is it because of his social security opportunities?"
"Yes, that's why. This businessman who smelled like horse manure very cleverly colluded with all the local capitalists and deceived the citizens of the entire state in a way that could only deceive ordinary people, so he used hundreds of With an average vote of 73%, we gained control of the entire state! This is the power of capital and the mainstream trend in the future of this country. Without the support of consortia and capital forces, it is very difficult to make a difference in politics. of."
Memnon's plan itself had many problems, but this guy didn't know where to find a good think tank who came up with an idea for him - bombarding with public opinion and setting an example. Many local newspapers always report from time to time that someone has been admitted to the hospital due to an accident, and their life hangs on a thread, because they are planning to give up their lives because they cannot afford the money. At this time, the Kadima Party paid exorbitant medical expenses for these people and saved their lives. Or maybe someone's child was tricked by the goddess of luck and admitted to college, and the city hall provided him with all the expenses he needed to complete college.
News like this kept appearing and bombarding the local people in public opinion. Finally, people discovered that these people had participated in Memnon's social security plan. Under the guidance of these lucky people who are like benchmarks, people hope that this kind of security system can be fully popularized. They can exchange 5% to 7% of their income every month for them. Guarantee, an insurance, a benefit, they have no reason to refuse it.
Coupled with the cooperation of local capital forces and consortia - providing money, effort and seduce his employees, Memnon suddenly emerged in the mid-term election and took control of the entire state. He is now not only the leader of the Kadima Party, but also about to become the governor. He has even publicly announced that he will run for the next Prime Minister. If he can be selected, he will universalize the social security system throughout the empire.
At this stage, he can only achieve what he promised with the support of capital forces and large financial groups. Once he really becomes the prime minister, he will attract more capital forces, and even many capital forces will begin to waver. This is a very dangerous thing for both the new and old parties.
Many smart people have seen some fatal flaws in Memnon's plan. Once what he promised cannot be fulfilled, the Kadima Party is destined to become a stain in the history of the empire. But why are people still supporting him? Because Memnon is the most suitable partner for the capital forces. He takes all the responsibilities on his own. The capitalists only need to put as much money in society as possible from people's pockets and bank accounts into their own pockets. That’s it. Coupled with the social security plan that cooperates with him, he can still make a lot of money from it.
Once something goes wrong, there is no need for capital forces to take the blame. There is only one person to take the blame, and that is Memnon and his Kadima Party.
"In the future, governance will no longer require people, but money!" Harry said with certainty. "Without money, even if we have very good political ideas, they will always be just ideas."
"Perhaps you will receive a call soon, but I am here, with my sincerity and apology. I need to apologize to you, because I arranged the Darcy incident, and my purpose is to ease your relationship with the North. Conflict between the noble consortium. I have had a phone call with Mr. Cape, and he asked me to apologize to you on his behalf and be willing to compensate you for all your losses. At the same time, I personally said something that I should not have said. It’s not anyone’s decision, it’s the private decision of the guy you kicked out of the office.”
"If you wish, he will suffer a punishment so severe that you will never see him again in your life."
After going around in circles, Harry finally brought the topic back.
"Du Lin, all things in the past, whether good or bad, let it pass! We are together, our goals and interests are the same, we should join hands to fight against our real enemies, not each other "I apologize for my past attitude. I hope you can accept it." Harry looked at Du Lin sincerely.
The expression on Du Lin's face also softened. He smiled and reached out his hand proactively, "I don't want to see that guy again in my life. Besides, I don't accept your apology..." Shock suddenly appeared on Harry's face. With an expression on his face, Dulin quickly made him understand, "We are all wrong, not just you. As you said, we should understand each other."
Harry stepped forward and stretched out his hand to hold Dulin's hand tightly, "Yes, we should understand each other!"
Harry made some more gossip that suited the atmosphere, and told Dulin to get better as soon as possible. Otis City cannot do without him. He also stated that the cost of his hospitalization will be borne by the state government. This is the state government's apology to him. A lot of bullshit. Watching Harry leave with a smile, the smile on Dulin's face suddenly cooled down. He snorted and twisted his neck.
It's the first time I've suffered such a big loss. How long do you want him to "understand"
That's impossible!
Harry's visit also confirmed to Dulin that this guy and Mags were definitely not of the same mind. He was just a stupid target, one who thought he was a target of a gun.
The purpose and function of the target is to let bullets shoot him in the face!
