The “Guide Region General Election Steering and Supervisory Committee” has a total of ten senior members and twenty members.
Normally, any adult citizen in the area can nominate himself to be a member of the Election Supervisory Committee.
Basically, the candidates are randomly selected from those who recommend themselves according to a certain proportion of their identities and occupations, which is similar to a lottery draw.
The proportion of media practitioners should be half.
The Supervisory Committee only supervises the voting process and results throughout.
However, the Gedder District has its own particularity. It does not have a normal parliamentary election committee. Therefore, this steering and supervisory committee also has the functions of a parliamentary election committee, and it is also within its responsibilities to review the qualifications of candidates.
The ten senior members are all officially appointed.
However, the only person with an official background in the United Kingdom is Lu Ming, and he is also a senior military figure.
In fact, this also gave the Election Commission a reassurance.
This is the first general election since the Kingdom War, so chaos is inevitable. But with the military on the side, the safety of the election committee will naturally be no problem.
The ten senior members, in addition to Lu Ming, include Wang Zili, a member of the Donghai District who was specially invited from Donghai, Ren Zhonglin, a member of the Senate of the Tianhan Kingdom, Babasha, one of the chiefs of the United Chiefs Conference of the Brave Chiefs Collection of Southern Xinjiang, Churchill, a judge from the Ninth Circuit Court of the East Griffinni Kingdom, Park Soo-na, a star host of the current affairs news column of Kunlun News Group, Nelson, a senior reporter from World Communications, Lai En, a senior barrister from the largest law firm in the imperial capital, Du Deming, a tennis superstar from Donghai, and Ashikaga Erika, a princess from the Japanese royal family.
In other words, except Lu Ming, the ten senior members are all "outsiders" in nature, which also shows the United Kingdom's completely fair and open attitude towards the general election in the Gaide region.
The twenty ordinary members were randomly selected by senior members from local applicants, and half of them were news media practitioners.
These are the overall structures of the committee. In fact, if the general election really kicks off, many boundary commissioners will be recruited to go to various constituencies to supervise the voting and counting.
At Lu Ming's suggestion, the Thirty-member Committee worked in a rented office suite on the fifth floor of the Gade Building and lived on the second floor.
The escort services of cigar girls have begun to fade and are transforming into green ones.
Cigar girls have all received psychological training courses and various etiquette courses. Most of them serve as spiritual companions for chatting, or as a diversion to business negotiations.
Of course, if a high price is negotiated privately, it has nothing to do with the club.
Today, the first formal meeting of all members was held in the conference room on the fifth floor.
We have held several meet-and-greets and seminars, and everyone has gotten to know each other.
Today is the formal meeting, and Lu Ming mainly talked about how, according to the proposal of the United Kingdom Cabinet and Parliament, they plan to hold elections for the mayor and parliament of Gill before the full general election in the Gaide area. This can be regarded as a prelude or an experiment to prepare for the full general election.
These are not something the committee can decide, so no one will object.
"We need to speed up the recruitment of our staff, that is, the affairs officers, as there are still many vacancies," said Lu Ming.
In fact, looking at the other nine senior committee members sitting at the round table, Lu Ming felt a little helpless, as many of them were his acquaintances.
It can even be said that people who are directly related to him occupy half of the country.
For example, Wang Zili, who was his supporter when he was in Donghai, was once a member of the small Beiguan constituency and has now entered the regional council.
Ren Zhonglin, after the Longbei Autonomous Principality was dissolved and joined the Han Kingdom in the form of three autonomous territories, he had to step down and was given the status of senator to live out his retirement.
Park Soo-na worked as a driver for herself when she was in Donghae. Later, she was made a household name by her own Kunlun Group. A few years ago, she changed her career and became the host of a news talk show, and she became very successful.
The naive teenage girl back then has now become one of the representative figures of professional strong women, graceful, intelligent and beautiful.
Not to mention Ashikaga Erika, she and Jinguji Hyōhime were both conferred the title of princess by Queen Tsukishō.
Basically, she is a princess or the queen's younger sister.
In addition, he is the regent and one of the four kings of the Great Inner Palace. Outsiders have no idea what the relationship is. In short, they are the four most honorable people in Japan.
Ashikaga Erika arranged this long trip herself, and I hope she can travel around and see the world.
The invitation letter from the United Kingdom was in the hope that the Japanese royal family would send members to observe and provide guidance, but the specific people invited were naturally not specified.
In addition to stenographers and the like, those attending the meetings of the Committee of Thirty also included the Committee's general affairs officer.
Specific affairs need to be done by affairs officers.
Overall, we need to recruit hundreds of administrative officers, but currently the staff shortage is almost half.
At this time, Lu Ming looked at the general affairs officer Mutolov. He was an Okhanian, but had been involved in the United Kingdom's election circles. He had assisted in the election of the mayor of the capital city of New Newman. He was very knowledgeable about various election affairs and was familiar with the tricks and some of the unspoken rules.
"How about this, clerks who run errands and do odd jobs, I will transfer some excellent soldiers to help on a voluntary basis. We are going to destroy everything here and start over. With more soldiers helping you, many things will be easier to do and safer." Lu Ming looked at the committee members again, "What do you think, is this okay?"
The other committee members had different opinions and remained silent for the time being. However, Nelson, a senior reporter from World News, frowned and said, "I'm afraid that if this happens, people will think that the military manipulated the election, right?"
Lu Ming nodded: "I have this concern too, but what about our committee? Do we really think that soldiers doing low-level work can manipulate elections? Or, from the perspective of our work process, can the officers manipulate elections?" He looked at everyone, "Let's vote by raising our hands!"
The committee members voted, with the majority opposing.
Wang Zili, Park Soo-na, and Ashikaga Erika all voted against it, and Lu Ming was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
In the evening, Lu Ming sent a secret message to Ashikaga Erika, asking her why she opposed Bit's proposal.
Erika replied that she just disliked Bit, as if everyone had to obey his orders, and he was a Sonya general, so he was her enemy.
Lu Ming was helpless. Perhaps most of the committee members had the same impression of him: too strong and wanting to control everything.
But in fact, I didn't say much.
However, whether or not to use military personnel as affairs officers is not a big deal.
But it is true that he is unpopular in the committee. After all, it is somewhat out of place to have himself inserted into a committee where the majority of people are professionals.
Not to mention, people like Park Soo-na and Wang Zili are also against me. They probably regard me as an enemy just like Erika.
Ren Zhonglin seemed to want to make friends with him, but he had to be cautious in front of many people. It seemed that this guy still had some ambition to make a comeback.
On the other hand, people like Chief Babasha clearly worship power. The blacks in the southern region were civilized relatively late and have low emotional intelligence, so they do things without scruples. They are very fawning on me and can't wait to become my followers.
…
The commander's residence, whose main building is a three-story dark green building, is filled with beautiful female soldiers.
In the morning, when Adjutant Willy handed him the list of personnel of his personal guard company and service company, he knew that he would face such a scene. Willy selected all female soldiers for the first row of the guard company, that is, the three guard squads that would be stationed in the official residence in turn, and the entire service company. There were lieutenants who had just graduated from the military academy, and there were also female soldiers newly recruited this year. However, after being selected to join the guard company and service company stationed in the commander's residence, the new female soldiers were able to sign sergeant contracts, ranging from corporals, sergeants and staff sergeants, which meant that they were working in the army and getting paid normally, which was much higher than the allowance for conscripts.
Willy said it was Lieutenant General Candice's suggestion, and said that he was used to using female soldiers in the Western Regions because he had several wives in the Western Regions who were all very beautiful, and it was too inconvenient to use male soldiers in the inner house.
Although we don’t know the current status of Lieutenant General Bit and his wives, it is better to follow the old rules for the guards and services of the official residence.
Willy looked a little strange when he said this. Perhaps when selecting female soldiers, appearance is given priority, a bit like choosing a concubine for the commander.
Lu Ming didn't care, he was very calm and didn't say much.
Not long after Lu Ming entered the study on the second floor, there was a knock on the door and the guard company commander, Major Danilova, and the service company commander, Major Yin Erma, came to report.
In the United Kingdom Defense Forces, the company commander is generally a lieutenant or captain, but the guards at the commander's residence are different from ordinary soldiers. After all, all soldiers have signed non-commissioned officer contracts.
The guard company has three platoons, one of which is a female platoon. Danilova also serves as the platoon leader. There are three squads with a total of 40 people. They are basically vases that take turns to be stationed in the inner house.
The other two platoons are male soldier platoons. The guards accompanying the commander are all selected elite special forces. There are four guard groups in each platoon, and each group has fifteen people.
However, Danilova is the commander of the entire guard company, which shows that Danilova must have some outstanding qualities.
Danilova was recommended by Candice to be the company commander. She is an Ownian with a very hot body and long fiery red hair. In addition, she wears a dark green officer uniform and a beret. She is full of fierce and wild temptation from head to toe. Her towering peaks seem to be able to tear the dark green female officer's uniform apart at any time.
Danilova and Yinerma reported on the security and service work in the official residence, and also asked the commander if he had any special requirements.
After a brief report, Yin Erma saluted and left, but Danilova took out a letter.
It was written by old lady Ekaterina, saying that Danilova was a gift from her to herself. She was raised by the Hawkeye clan since childhood and was a little holy eagle of the clan. She should be very suitable for the Hawkeye clan's hammer god treasure.
Lu Ming looked at the letter and nodded. So that's it.
No wonder he only studied in military academy for one year, majoring in command information, but came to be the company commander of his own guard.
"Are you willing to wear the shackles of the Hammer God?" Lu Ming looked at her helplessly. "I have limited information. I heard from Madam Ekaterina that after wearing that thing... that treasure, you will become a puppet and lose your own thoughts?"
"I am willing..." Danilova's blue eyes were filled with deep sorrow. "Your Majesty... Miss Saint Eagle and I can see the same things. I know how noble your status is. I also know how glorious it is to be your slave. It is something that many people dream of."
Seeing her sad eyes, Lu Ming was about to put the matter off, but after hearing her next words, his hesitation immediately vanished.
As her identity is top secret, the old lady will definitely not tell anyone else. And like her granddaughter, she will also bring disaster upon herself. But it seems that there is some kind of mysterious connection. What Ekaterina's granddaughter knows, the little holy eagle Danilova can also know.
Lu Ming took out the rusty black collar and dripped his own blood on it. Danilova had already slowly knelt in front of him. When she looked up, her green eyes were already filled with tears. The pitiful state of the sexy beauty made me feel pity for her.
Lu Ming suddenly realized something. He opened the collar and slowly placed it on her snow-white neck, then closed it. He said calmly, "While granting you the power of the Hammer God, keep your mind clear. That is my command!"
The black collar flashed by, and on Danilova's snow-white neck, there was a black wreath collar tattoo. In the deep and unfathomable snow-white ravines, there was a small hammer tattoo pattern. This wild and seductive sexy girl became more charming.
For a long time, Danilova did not move.
"It's done. Are you okay?" Lu Ming asked with a little concern. After all, this thing seemed a little weird.
"Ah?" Danilova stood up in a daze, looked at Lu Ming, then looked down at herself. There was a mirror next to her, so she walked over to look at herself, and touched the black ring-shaped tattoo on her sexy pink neck, staring blankly.
"Oh, Master, I lost my composure..." Danilova suddenly came to her senses, turned around and knelt down in panic.
"Don't call me that. Just like everyone else, you can call me Commander, Sir, or Boss. Anything is fine." Lu Ming smiled.
Danilova knelt still and whispered, "I feel that I have successfully become your slave, and I can call upon a powerful force, but I, I did not become a walking corpse... Master, did you really succeed?" Then her face changed slightly, "I, I am not questioning you, my master..."
Lu Ming smiled and said, "So, why are you asking so many questions? Just go and do your thing."
"Yes, master... Oh, sir..." Danilova slowly stood up, bowed deeply again, and then turned and left.
…
In the bulletproof black car, Lu Ming closed his eyes and rested quietly.
Sitting next to him was Danilova, who was wearing a dark green officer's suit. She was also appointed as a major adjutant in the Adjutant's Office.
The driver and the co-pilot were both beautiful female soldiers, both sergeants.
The guards of the other vehicles in the convoy were all male guards from the guard company.
The convoy arrived at the destination quickly like lightning and stopped in front of Villa No. 21 in the mid-mountain area.
Mayor Hines and others had already lined up in front of the villa to greet them.
The general election in the Ged region will first kick off with the mayoral and council elections in Gir. Hines has already registered to run in the mayoral election.
At this moment, Commander Bit's visit meant a lot to him.
"It's like this. Our Air Force is planning to set up an observation station mid-mountain. No. 21 is a good location."
After sitting down in the living room, Lu Ming went straight to the point.
Some of the original preparations are no longer needed as the situation develops.
Hines was startled.
"Of course, No. 21 is your private residence. We will buy it at the market price. We hope that Mayor will support our work!" Lu Ming said with a smile.
"This... is certainly not a big problem." Hines smiled bitterly.
Lu Ming looked around, and Hines waved his hand, ordering his followers to retreat.
"If Mayor Hines issues a statement to quit the Rose Party, I will support your re-election plan." Lu Ming stared at him. "I came to tell you in person and made a promise in person just to dispel your concerns, instead of asking others to hint to you."
Hines was stunned, not knowing how to answer for a moment.
"The reputation of the Rose Party has been severely damaged. I hope you will consider this carefully!"
While Lu Ming was speaking, Danilova, who was standing behind him, looked at her watch, then looked at her schedule, then leaned over and whispered in Lu Ming's ear.
Lu Ming nodded, stood up and said, "Mayor Hines, I still have to go to the 208th Division, so let's stop here today."
"Okay, okay..." Hines hurriedly stood up to see him off.
