There were whispers in the conference room. Powell directly fired at Dulin, but he was actually pointing the finger at Maggs. Without the unanimous affirmation and trust of Maggs and Harry, Dulin would not have been able to achieve glory at such a young age. Ascended the position of mayor of Otis City. He is only twenty-one years old this year. When almost everyone in this room is twenty-one years old, they have just completed the primary stage of life - the nobles have just completed their coming-of-age ceremony for a year, and have not yet been assigned family tasks and resources. Politicians with civilian backgrounds are still studying and are about to enter society.
Even if someone is willing to give them a chance, they cannot become the mayor of a city in one fell swoop. The position of mayor requires sufficient experience and experience, and it is definitely not something that someone at the age of twenty-one can take on.
But Dulin did it. He was already a mayor when he was twenty years old. No matter what the purpose of Hoston's nomination of Dulin was, in short, under Harry's arrangement, Dulin became the mayor of Otis City. long.
Harry is from Magus, and they are all members of the New Party who came from a noble family. Without Maggs' nod, it would have been difficult for Harry to arrange for Dulin to be the mayor of Otis City.
Yes, according to the current political system of the empire, state capitals have a considerable degree of autonomy. Appointing a mayor does not require a cabinet nod or a vote at a party meeting, but this matter is too strange. Some people even began to speculate that it was their plan to throw Dulin into the dilapidated place of Otis City, and then they secretly planned a follow-up development route for Dulin, so that Otis City would become an amazing place. The speed has developed to what it is today.
A young sun is rising in the hinterland of the empire, and Dulin has also gained great reputation. When he was assassinated some time ago, it was even known to the empire. He has become a representative figure of "minority officials", which is also his most powerful protective shield. If someone deals with him without authorization, he will first be accused of racial discrimination against ethnic minorities, so that those who are satisfied with Dulin will not speak out, and those who are dissatisfied with him will not speak out either. No one wants to become a public opinion The focus is still the worst one.
The smile on Maggs' face gradually faded when faced with Powell's accusation. He lowered his head slightly in thought. Before he spoke, Harry, who was sitting in the nineteenth seat, spoke first.
"Mr. Powell, making mistakes is the right given by God to each of us. Each of us will make mistakes. I believe everyone here has made mistakes. No matter how big or small the mistake is, as long as we correct it actively to make up for the losses caused by the mistake, We will turn mistakes into experience and experience, which is also the most valuable asset in our life. And as you said, Dulin is still young, this is his power and his gain.”
Harry's sudden voice made everyone else's attention focus on Harry. As Dulin's immediate boss, Harry actually performed very well. In terms of political literacy alone, Harry can be said to be among the best. He not only has good relations with most of the party members, but also has considerable friendship with the old party, capitalists and people from all walks of life. His development plan for Cosonas State has shown great results. You must know that Cosonas State is the most "backward" state in the empire, no one.
Because during the Great Patriotic War, the Federal Vanguard Army and the Victory Army were surrounded in the Cosonas State. In order to force the Federation to sit on the negotiating table honestly, the Imperial Army conducted a long and indiscriminate attack on the Cosonas State. shelling. Several major cities there were almost completely razed to the ground, with ruins everywhere, and agriculture and animal husbandry were completely destroyed, leaving the ground in a mess.
After the Great Patriotic War, the state of Cosenna was completely destitute. It had no industrial foundation, not even an economic foundation. Under such circumstances, the new party carried out the first eight years of transformation of the state of Cosenna, allowing it to During the restoration of the industrial base of the state of Cocenas, Mayor Harry stood out from the mayors of many cities. It took him only five years to transform his city into something of a city, attracting enough immigrants to become a political star of the day and highly praised by Maggs.
After this, Maggs overcame all the opposition and made Harry the governor of Cosonus. During Harry's administration, this state, which was almost the same as the White Land, rapidly recovered and developed, and had a self-sufficient light and heavy industrial base. The state's economic and ecological environment has also been greatly improved. In particular, Harry is very good at stimulating investment. Under his leadership, it took less than fifteen years for Cossenus to get rid of the last place in the empire, and Harry had a strong position in the party. Quite a reputation.
Perhaps Harry's status in the new party can be seen from his current seat. Apart from Maggs, the chairman and a deputy chairman of the new party committee, Powell and other party figures, as well as the members of the cabinet, his ranking It can be said that he has entered the top three, which is why he has the confidence and confidence to run for the next prime minister. As long as Magers supports him and nominates him, he has great hope to win that position.
If he said such words at such a time, no one would think he was arrogant. He was only in his twenties when he became mayor, almost the same age as Dulin. He used his own personal experience to tell Powell that Dulin was not "special" and that he was not much different from some politicians here.
"However, those citizens of the empire who lost their lives should not bear the responsibility for faults that are not theirs. If hundreds of lives are used to accumulate experience for a politician, then I think this is completely crude and cruel. "Growth that loses humanity." Powell shook his head. He looked down at the pen he was playing with, and then looked at Harry, "I do not deny that Mayor Dulin led the leadership of Otis City during his administration. "
"However, he made a mistake after all. I know that the outside media said that the fault lies with the United Construction Engineering Company, but let's reflect on it. Why did Mayor Dulin not allow the people with rich construction experience in the empire to get the design drawings? Engineering company to conduct a review? If he had done this, I believe any company with sufficient qualifications in the empire would have told him that the design was unqualified, but he did not, no matter what the reason, he did not. Everyone must take responsibility for these more than 300 lives!”
Harry narrowed his eyes slightly, quickly turned his head and said nothing. His chest rose and fell violently, and he looked like he was very angry.
But, no.
Protecting Dulin is the instinct of a politician. The political world is actually a game circle with its own rules of the game, and "protecting shortcomings" is one of them. If anyone wants to make achievements in the imperial political arena, have certain achievements and pursue higher goals, he can never be alone. He must have his own party members and his own team, so protecting his own people is the key to everyone. Something a team leader must do, even if he knows it's wrong.
Of course, after arguing and expressing his attitude, Harry stopped confronting Powell because someone really needed to be punished for this incident, so that the imperial public opinion and public opinion could see how seriously the government took this accident. That person would not be him, nor would it be him. It couldn't be Magus, let alone anyone else, it could only be Dulin!
He did what he should do and then accepted the result calmly. His mission was completed.
Mags glanced at Harry, then looked at Powell, "So what do you think Mayor Dooling should do?"
"Of course it is a temporary removal. He currently attracts too much attention and is no longer suitable to continue to govern in Otis City. We need to keep him in cold storage for a period of time so that he can realize his own problems and summarize his past mistakes and gains. He has a growth process. When the storm of this incident passes, we will still need his talent when we re-activate Mr. Dulin."
Magers nodded noncommittally, "I think I understand. Since you, Mr. Powell, have proposed this intention, let's vote in accordance with the rules and regulations. Please raise your hands if you agree to temporarily remove Mayor Dulin from office... "
Facing the gradually raised arms, Mags lowered his head expressionlessly and recorded something in his notebook.
At around eight o'clock that night, Du Lin was sitting in the living room drinking wine when the phone suddenly rang.
He glanced at Scott, who was half-raising the cup and looking at him, and shrugged his shoulders easily, "If I'm not wrong, this is definitely not a good sign."
Scott smiled and put down the raised wine glass, the smile on his face was very stiff.
Dulin walked to the phone and picked it up, and Harry's voice came from the receiver.
"Dulin, I'm very sorry. Today's party meeting approved Mr. Powell's proposal to temporarily remove you from office. I have tried very hard to argue for you, but it has no effect."
Dulin took out a cigarette, and Scott took out a lighter to light it for him. He waved his hand, turned around and lit a cigarette for himself. The friction sound of the lighter made Harry's hands on the other side of the phone a little sweaty. He continued: "But there is another good news... I have obtained some conveniences for you. The removal is only temporary. After this period of limelight passes, the party will The Internal Council will appoint you again. And you don’t have to worry about your status in the party. After the resurrection, you will at least be the mayor, and you will most likely be nominated to the Imperial Parliament. Many people have been waiting for this step their whole lives. "
Du Lin laughed twice, "Then should I hold a banquet now to celebrate my unknown promotion in the future? Are you coming? Just today!"
