"If you do this, you will spread the contradictions. In the end, you will find that you have no friends in the political arena!" After watching the show, Maggs took the initiative to make a call to Dulin. As the current imperial prime minister, , Magus is still able to grasp the changes in the political platform of the entire empire. Many people have already reported to him that Dulin's round of saturation strikes, which does not distinguish between friend and foe, is a bit too much.
The so-called politics is nothing more than uniting a group of people who can become friends and share common positions and ideals, and eliminating and suppressing another group of people who have different positions and ideals.
No matter how great a person is, he cannot change the country alone. He always needs people around him. Dulin's behavior is obviously not in line with the natural political laws. He is playing with fire.
Dulin was very grateful for Magus's reminder. Of course, he did not become an obedient worm. Instead, he asked a question, "Powers is destined to become my most troublesome opponent and even my enemy. At the same time, the relationship between me and the old party No, then Uncle Magers, can you tell me who I can unite with and keep them united around me after the general election?”
"Is it Powers, the new leader who once targeted me, or Mr. Kubal, the iconic figure of the old party?" He didn't need Maggs to answer, so he asked himself and answered, "No, no one. Maybe the people who are united around me, even these people around you, will soon fall to Powers, or they will conservatively maintain a neutral position and not take any side.”
"I'm not you. It's not like you can control these people and make them willingly form a new political group around me. Most of these people are much older than me, and more importantly, they They all hold high positions and are used to following your orders. It’s not realistic to suddenly ask these people to follow my orders... Uncle Mags.”
"They may give me the help I need for your sake when necessary, but that's all."
"Since I don't have friends around me that I can unite with, why do I still need to take care of their face and say some flattering words to make them feel that I am not necessarily a difficult nut to crack?"
Magus was silent for a while, and then sighed. He knew that what Dulin said was actually correct. Top-level politics is exclusive, and the central cabinet headed by Kubal will firmly suppress some new party members who have their tail in the sky. This is one of the reasons why the old party was in power after the agreement between Magers and Kubal. He was re-elected for too long and the new party was in power for so long that some members of the new party took it for granted that this empire should belong to the new party.
This is a bad sign, and their arrogance needs to be knocked down so that they can learn awe and humility again.
At the same time, the new leader of the new party, Powers, will more or less exclude members of the aristocratic faction, which is destined to leave Dulin in an isolated state for the next eight years. His opponents are not only the old party, but also a considerable part of the new party.
As he said, since we are all enemies in the future, why not let those people realize that he is a guy who is not easy to mess with and a madman. Compromising under the pressure of the general environment will only make his opponents push forward. It seems that his current behavior is not wrong at all, but is very correct.
Mags was silent for a while and then said, "I can't convince you. You have your own ideas. I don't know if this is the right way or the wrong way. But no matter how bad it is, it will only be eight years."
Yes, no matter how bad the situation is, it will only take eight years. After Magers retires, his political influence will inevitably decline rapidly, but keeping Dulin is not a big problem. After these eight years have passed, the old batch of treacherous politicians will almost be off work, and the new generation will begin to dominate the empire's political stage. At that time, it will be Dulin's turn to shine.
Moreover, Maggs felt that it was a very good lesson to let Dulin suffer a loss when he was young. No one can have smooth sailing all his life. Rather than letting him fall from the clouds at his peak, it is better to take advantage of him when he has just started to climb. Let him fall into the mire.
Eight years is enough time for him to grow significantly.
After the call with Maggs, Dulin immediately asked Hersmann to change his publicity strategy. He now chose a more aggressive one than the more ordinary publicity style in the past.
The brand-new poster still exuded a faint smell of ink. Du Lin unfolded it and nodded with satisfaction. Many professionals were invited to design this poster. Compared with the old-fashioned bust and some slogans, it is a little more sophisticated. The atmosphere of the times is also younger.
The perspective of the poster is a 45-degree bird's-eye view of Du Lin. He punches out, and a pattern and style similar to broken glass are painted around the huge fist. Slightly playful art is used on both sides of the poster. The text reads the new slogan.
"Break the shackles of the old times and let young people make the decision!"
"A different Dulin, a different west, a different life!"
Du Lin nodded with satisfaction, put the poster back on the table, and tapped it twice, "It's ready for printing. We will replace it with new posters like this in our selected states."
Helsman picked it up with a smile and looked at it for a few times, without agreeing or rejecting it. "It looks like a movie poster. Young people should like it very much."
Dulin glanced at him and asked, "Isn't that just right? This is an aging empire, but there is a large number of new forces. This is in line with our next campaign strategy."
Hersman has nothing to object to. The term "aging" does not exist in the Empire until now. In most families, a couple will have at least two or three children. In some special circumstances, there will be more. many. In a rejuvenating society, young people actually already occupy a dominant position. However, in the past, people always ignored the power of these young people. This is a very stupid approach.
Being young means that they have the desire and power to challenge everything. These young people will inevitably become the mainstream of this society, whether it is now or thousands of years from now!
"As long as you are satisfied, we may have to spend some campaign funds on new poster printing and publicity of the new route." Hersman threw the poster back on the table, "You have to be mentally prepared. "
Du Lin smiled slightly conceitedly, "I never worry about money, I only worry that the bank's vault cannot hold all my wealth!"
