Cosma Empire

The New Party office building on Monday.

This is an inconspicuous building. It looks like a stone at the bottom of a long river of history, which has accumulated the charm of the years in obscurity. The mottled outer wall can occasionally make people feel the cruelty and ruthlessness of time. .

It still stands here, but the people inside have been changed many times. For it, it may only be a moment in the process of birth and destruction, but for human beings, it has been a lifetime.

The office building of the New Party is located 300 meters east of the intersection of Empire Second Avenue and First Avenue, next to the Empire National Library and History Museum. There is no sign hanging at the entrance, which is not very special, only a simple house number.

When you enter the gate and enter the main building through the vestibule, you will find that not only the appearance of this building is very "old", but also the decoration design and placement of some things inside are also a bit outdated.

But it cannot be denied that these seemingly ancient decorations give people a feeling of elegance, dignity and grandeur.

Originally, the place was covered with carpets of cashmere and camel's hair. Later, Magus decided that cleaning the carpets would cost too much money and take too much time for workers, so he removed all the carpets in the entire building, including his own office. .

This can save a lot of expenses for cleaning carpets, as well as more labor hours.

Some people once thought it was a face-saving project-the old party members who were working opposite were wearing shiny leather boots and stepping on the soft camel's hair carpet. disdainful.

But until today, this measure has not been changed. On the contrary, the old party has also canceled all kinds of carpets laid on the ground.

Now the ground is made of marble that can reflect people’s shadows. Every week, a professional team will be responsible for cleaning up possible residual scratches and repairing some potholes. Compared with the cost of cleaning carpets, it can be said to be almost nothing.

New party members in twos and threes came in from the door, wearing decent clothes and carrying various briefcases or handbags, and they were all discussing the battle royale game that ended last night.

A sheriff from Kuwold, a small remote town, successfully stood out from thousands of people and became the champion of the first competition.

A lot of people are crazy, crazy about losing millions of pain for themselves, and crazy about rejoicing.

There are more than a dozen multi-millionaires born because of him on the stage with him,

Millionaires, these people only paid fifty cents, and they got millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of times in return.

There is no better way to get rich quick than this form of gambling, and calls have already been made to the organizers and the state government of Ambiluo state asking when the second edition of the tournament will start.

There were also some unpleasant things happened. A contestant disappeared mysteriously. After a long and long search after the game, he still couldn't find his trace. The organizers thought that he might be caught by some predators Killed, or lost in some particular place, dead there.

This incident did not cause any disturbance. The organizing committee promptly contacted his family and compensated him with tens of times the current social standard death pension, which made the family members of the deceased who were still angry about this momentarily It calmed down.

They, the family members of the deceased, including the deceased, expressed that their emotions were relatively calm. The current social standard death compensation/pension ceiling is 18,000 yuan, which is twice as much as a few years ago, and it is a bit of a turnaround.

The organizer threw 500,000 in the past, and the deceased's father, his wife, and an infant child who was represented all agreed to accept it, and praised the attitude of the person in charge of the organizer.

This not-so-pleasant incident did not dispel the joyful atmosphere in Ambiluo State. The entire empire, and even the entire world, were discussing this game and its ability to make stars and money.

It is like a black hole of funds, swallowing up a lot of floating funds in the whole world in one go, creating numbers that shock people's nerves and are like myths that are insurmountable.

Some people also considered imitating the battle royale in Ambiluo State to create some other battle royale. Anyway, the things they used were available in the market, but these people quickly gave up this idea.

Because there is one thing they can’t buy, that is, effective broadcasting and live broadcasting. If this problem is not solved, the cable TV group and Dulin will not be able to get around the difficulty. In the end, they will still return to the starting point, and a large amount of effective income will fall into the In the pockets of Dooling and Cable TV Group.

Although it cannot be done on a large scale, there are also some remote and savage small areas that have begun to organize such activities. Their scale is smaller and more cruel and savage, which just meets the preferences of some people.

People were talking about it, and what Dooling would do today.

Everyone can see the current situation of the New Party. In fact, these people may not know where the problem lies, but this is also a problem.

Maggs' retirement is not meaningless. On the one hand, he intends to use his retirement to let the future leadership of the empire realize that even if they become the prime minister of the empire, they will not continue indefinitely, and they can also give way to The person appointed by oneself, the prime minister is not the emperor, it is impossible to exist.

Secondly, he also needs to use this method to gradually dilute his "influence" in the new party. This kind of influence does not mean that he wants to completely give up his power and give up his guidance to the new party, but to let the new party get used to it. A day without Magus.

He has been the "Empire Parliament Hill" of the new party for so many years, and people are used to looking up at him when they encounter problems that cannot be solved, and then waiting for his orders to solve these problems according to his orders.

He is still just a human being, and he will die one day, so before he dies, when he can still do something, to solve all the problems left by him, this is his purpose.

But he fell too fast, so fast that people have not yet adapted to the feeling of having no one to rely on, and are overwhelmed by this helpless feeling.

At 9:46 in the morning, two-thirds of the seats in the huge semi-circular stepped conference room were occupied, and some people couldn't catch up because of the distance.

Just five seconds before nine fifty, when the meeting was about to start, the door of the meeting room was pushed open, and Du Lin walked in with his head held high.

People on both sides of the aisle greeted him, and he seemed to respond in a very polite and easy way, and then walked to his seat in the second row.

According to the current ranking in the party, Du Lin's ranking is still outside the top ten. This is not to say that everyone deliberately made things difficult for Du Lin not to give him a higher ranking, but that his status in the party is indeed not as high as ordinary people imagined. high.

Inner-party status and political status are not the same thing. There is no such thing as a high political status, and the same high status in the party.

In the first few years when Magus overthrew the royal family, he was not the prime minister of the empire, but he was already the leader of the new party. There are enough values ​​and contributions.

The leader of the new party, Powers, is sitting in the middle of the rostrum, looking at something while wearing a pair of reading glasses. The chairman of the new party committee sitting on his left is the second person in the party. His responsibility is to manage the new party committee, and fully preside over and arrange the daily work of the new party.

The third and fourth place are two vice-chairmen, one is in charge of specific external affairs and the other is in charge of internal affairs. At present, Dolly is the fourth chair, mainly responsible for the transfer of personnel within the new party and other issues.

Next is the money bag of the New Party, the Ministry of Finance. The chief executive of the Ministry of Finance sits in the far left of the first row. He is the fifth person in the New Party. He is a fat man, white and tender.

The sixth is the highest official of the new party's Ministry of Internal Affairs, who is mainly responsible for internal party discipline issues and the investigation and punishment of members' violations of regulations.

Originally, according to the arrangement, the Ministry of Internal Affairs should be above the Ministry of Finance, but Magus's influence on the new party is so terrible that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been in a state of doing nothing for a long time in the past.

In a large power organization, once any functional department is idle, it will soon be marginalized.

People dare not blatantly marginalize the Ministry of Internal Affairs so that it cannot be ranked, but he stepped back a fact that the position is indeed indisputable.

The chief of the Ministry of Internal Affairs also looks fat and white, with a smiling face and a good talker. He is sitting in the first row on the right hand side.

Next is the party whip. Because the new party is not the ruling party at present, the power of the party whip will be infinitely reduced.

However, the position of the party whip is still vacant. Powers was very disappointing in the process of becoming the leader of the new party, but he left a very deep impression on people in the position of the party whip.

Rigid, old-fashioned, harsh, impersonal and unsmiling, these are almost all compliments to him, and he has indeed done what a party whip should look like.

After he came to power, he planned to give up this position to Schneider, but Schneider had some unpleasant conflicts with him before, and this position was shelved.

When the committee was meeting, the leader's seat did not say that a new party whip would be allocated, let alone voted for it, so it was left vacant.

Next is the New Party Development Department. This is Dolly's previous position. It ranks eighth in the Party. It is mainly responsible for the development of members of the New Party organization, organizing internal activities, and distributing some gifts and benefits.

Although this department is inconspicuous, it can be linked from the bottom to the top of the new party. If there is a capable person in this position, as long as the means are used well, it may even be the chairman and vice chairman of the new party committee, so it is the eighth place .

The current chief executive of the Development Department is a young lady, about thirty years old. She sits in front of Du Lin and chats with others, and occasionally looks back at Du Lin, who nodded slightly in greeting.

The top officials of such important departments constitute the real "leadership" within the New Party. Although Du Lin is expensive as the governor of a state, he ranks only nineteenth within the New Party. This is due to him and Mag The relationship between them, as well as his own personal factor relationship.

When Du Lin sat down and waited for less than 30 seconds, the chairman of the new party committee raised his wrist and looked at his watch, then tilted his head and said something to Powers in a low voice, and Powers nodded , stood up.

Then everyone stood up with a clatter, and sat down again after a few opening remarks.

Kind of stupid, almost called names, that's going to be exactly like some school classes.

There was not much talk about this month's regular meeting, there was no news from Magus for a month, some work stopped, and people were not in the mood to work.

Coupled with the constant harassment and digging by the God Party, people are panicking. Whoever can concentrate on their own work is paying attention to the changes in the new party and the political situation of the entire empire.

After all, the appearance of the eldest prince's imperial party wanting to rise strongly makes people inevitably have some thoughts, no matter whether it is the populist faction, the aristocratic faction or the fence-sitting faction, they are all weighing the pros and cons and considering it.

So I didn't make a monthly summary, but just talked about some work arrangements for the next month, which is very routine.

The arrangement of party work is actually not as mysterious as people imagine. Most of them are the distribution and arrangement of some daily work, plus the expiration of some advance plans. This is the monthly regular meeting.

During the Magus period, every monthly meeting he presided over would be delayed until two or three o'clock in the afternoon or even at night, but today, it only took a little over an hour to basically say the same.

Powers yawned and seemed not very energetic, while the Chairman squinted his eyes slightly, as if he had fallen asleep.

With such an attitude on such an occasion, it's no wonder that everyone is ready to withdraw. If he hadn't fallen too deep into the pit, Du Lin would have considered whether to leave.

Just when Powers asked if there were any proposals and was about to end the meeting, Du Lin stood up.

Powers looked at him in a daze. He thought that Du Lin sat there without saying a word and was just going through the motions, but he didn't expect that he really stood up in the end.

Immediately, his head felt a little tingling, and he was reluctant but pretended to be normal and asked, "Mr. Du Lin, do you want to let us know about any proposals?"

Du Lin shook his head. He walked around from his seat, stood on the aisle, adjusted his clothes, and strode towards the rostrum, saying, "I don't have any proposals, but I have a few words, I want to discuss it with you all!"

Powers looked at His Excellency Chairman, His Excellency Chairman still half-closed his eyes, as if he was asleep, so Powers stopped talking, watched with cold eyes, and let Du Lin do the trick!
