Cosma Empire

On Saturday morning, everyone in the west knew that During would participate in the general election two years later, but During did not disclose which state he would participate in the governor's election for the time being, which left people with a lot of suspense.

After the death of Memnon, a large number of grassroots political forces in the west fell into a vacuum. Under the compromise between the new party and the old party, both sides sent a large number of officials to fill the grassroots in the west, but the governor did not change. Among the governors of the three states in the west, there is one member of the old party and two members of the new party. Originally, there were only two states in the west, but a large number of middle-class people wanted to get rid of the impression that they were rural people in backward areas, so they launched a referendum. Two states became three states, and these middle classes got their wish closer to the south-central part of the empire, although they were still westerners.

They claim to be central or southerners, and they are unwilling to admit that they are westerners, although they are indeed westerners and this fact cannot be changed in a short time.

Dooling and Hersman believe that the newly formed state is not a suitable state for election, because there are too many middle classes here. These middle classes can launch a referendum in order to get rid of the impression they give, and their own positions will be more serious. Lean towards the old party. The "elite society" proposed by the old party in recent years is very popular among the middle class. The so-called elite society is, to put it bluntly, a kind of alternative class restoration. The idea of ​​pulling out the middle class, the mainstay of society, as an elite class made many middle-class people ecstatic.

Under the advocacy of the old party, many middle-class people are somewhat dissatisfied with the current social environment. They think that they have contributed far more to society and the country than others, but they do not enjoy special treatment. There is no difference between them and those ordinary people who can only earn fifty or sixty yuan a month. They need the recognition of the whole society, not just the middle class to describe them, they also need respect.

In the ideas put forward by the old party, the elite class of society should enjoy better treatment and more benefits. They account for about 10% to 20% of the country's total population, but their contribution to this country exceeds 70% of the population. They represent the most important part of a country's power and should have from the bottom of society.

This hits it off with most middle-class families. Many middle-class families are supporting the old party, donating various funds for them, and spontaneously safeguarding the interests of the old party.

After Du Lin took the lead in implementing the household registration system in Odis City, the old party has been planning a new household registration system, a hierarchical and hierarchical social household registration system, and they have also established a social point system to increase the level of household registration.

Ordinary people have a certain degree of disgust with this, but not everyone is disgusted with the old party's rhetoric. There are always some pretentious people who think that they will soon be able to enter the middle class and become different from ordinary people. Elite level. There are not a few people who hold this idea. The popularization of education and the emergence of various vocational schools have given a lot of opportunities to the bottom of society and given them a ladder to a higher level. When these people go through several times the efforts of others,

After going through the most difficult study time and spending their youth on study, they have achieved varying degrees of success.

But this kind of success can't better reflect the difference between oneself and others except that it can be reflected in wealth. For example, if a middle-class person with an annual income of 2,000 yuan eats in a restaurant, the people sitting at the table around him may be those at the bottom of society with an annual income of only a few hundred yuan. How does this reflect that he is different and superhuman? style? What they need are privileges, different treatment, and something completely separate from the bottom society!

There is an essential difference between the new party and the old party in terms of philosophy. The new party's political program and ruling ideas are more inclined to free competition. It will not give special privileges to certain people, nor will it deliberately suppress certain people. It starts with a life. Naked, how to develop next, and to what extent it can be developed, all depend on the individual's ability. This is a very good environment for some truly capable people. A society similar to the law of the jungle screens out a group of unqualified people and precipitates them into the grassroots of society under the increasing competitiveness. Some capable people then evolve into the middle and upper levels of society.

Although it cannot be absolutely fair, at least it is relatively fair, because everyone has a chance, everyone is the same, no one is doomed to succeed, and no one is doomed to fail.

The program and management methods of the old party were different. The old party put the class in a new dress, packaged it and pushed it to the front of the stage. Many people were confused by the new clothes and couldn't see what was behind the new clothes. The social upgrade system is what the old party is best at, and Tenel was implementing this system back then. They emphasize fairness. Everyone comes up from nothing, little by little. As long as they make corresponding contributions to society, they will definitely get corresponding feedback.

According to the philosophy of the old party, there is a ladder in front of everyone, and everyone can keep walking on the ladder as long as they follow the social system, continuously improve their status in society, and have more benefits and privileges. But in fact, these people have artificially set up a few small checkpoints, so that they will not be discovered. If an ordinary person wants to become a middle-level and high-level person in society, apart from his own efforts, he also needs to get to know enough personal connections.

So how can an ordinary person who has nothing to get acquainted with some connections that can give him a chance to be promoted?

The answer is simple, benefit delivery!

During Durin's stay in Tenel City, there were only a few people who were able to walk up the stairs and cross the threshold, and they were all so-called "tycoons".

It can be seen from people like Godol and Woodman Wood that they develop in accordance with the requirements of the old party in a prescribed environment. Every stage will change a form, but the essence will not change. They gain the recognition of the upper class by transferring benefits, and then give them a key to open the door for promotion, thereby gaining an increase in social status. They have become "victims" of this social system, and at the same time they are vested interests. This is precisely the way those who support the old party most recognize.

In other words, under the social system run by the old party, the lower-level society must obey the higher-level society, otherwise there is no way out and a dead end, so that in many cases, personal ability has no value in the promotion of social levels. As long as you know the key person, you can make a breakthrough in social hierarchy.

Looking at the whole world, the old party's governance philosophy can't be considered too backward, and it doesn't even make people think that there are too many problems. After all, the empire has only been out of feudal rule for more than 20 years, and there are still many people in the world. For the citizens of feudal system countries, they are still in the conflict and contradiction between the old and new systems. The new party's emphasis on personal ability and the old party's relationship with social development have their own supporters. Even if the royal family has abdicated for more than 20 years, don't some people miss the days of being ruled by the royal family, or being ruled by the aristocracy every day?

The culture received by the main population of society is the biggest difference between the new party and the old party.

Most of the young people who were born after the new party took power don’t like the old party’s stuff, but now the middle class and high-level people in society are all beneficiaries of the old system, and they are more willing to support and maintain the old party’s ideas . If the royal family can be restored, they may be the most staunch supporters.

Avoiding states with middle-class populations and older average ages is Hersman's advice to Dooling. It is not easy to defeat the old party in these states, unless Dooling can provide more than the old party and the old party. The new party has a higher-level and more advanced social system, otherwise there will not be many people who support him.

On the contrary, Hersman believes that the latter two states are actually more suitable for Dooling's election. The reason is also very simple. The other two states do not have many middle classes, and most of them are at the bottom of society, farmers, miners or other things. Most of these people are employees of Durin, and at the same time, their positions are on the edge of the empire's territory. Neither the way to obtain information nor the recognition of the empire is enough. The closed social environment makes the social ecology here still in a slightly barbaric situation. To put it in a slightly presumptuous way, this group of people are a group of people with weak national consciousness. They have no education and are barbaric. Western society makes these people value their own interests more. As long as there are enough benefits, they will not mind who they vote for.

Hersman is also very clear that the governor is just a springboard for Du Lin. He can't stay in the west for a lifetime, just to make the people here live better. He will definitely work towards the center of the empire, which one he chooses? The state is not important, the important thing is to be able to be elected.

Dooling had no objection to Hersman's plan, as Hersman thought, all he needed was a governorship.

After announcing his participation in the campaign, Dooling left the West soon. He needs to record several programs for broadcast, at least to let people know what benefits and changes will be brought about by choosing Doolin. This is also one of Hersmann's plans for During, and starting the publicity as early as possible is beneficial to the next plan.

At this time, Saint Luo was attacked by surprise.

An army that passed through the primeval forest and suddenly appeared on the outskirts of Saint Luodu attacked Saint Luodu. As a member of the fifth city chain, Saint Luodu obviously did not deploy any defensive measures. The imperial force is still in the third city chain and In the tug-of-war of the federal army, who would have thought that an army would pass through the virgin forest with a diameter of more than 200 kilometers and directly attack the rear?

At the moment when a shelling sounded, the whole city was in chaos.
