Cosma Empire

Your Excellency the Chairman looked at Du Lin, looked at this young, somewhat excessive face, as if he had traveled through a tunnel of time, on that night more than forty years ago, in the stable of the Timamont family, under the dim light , saw the same young face.

"People don't respect silent people, they just see it as a sign of cowardice, if you want people to look you in the eye, and to hold your breath, you have to make them Understand one thing - you need and deserve to be respected!"

Magus, surrounded by most young people under the lights, is very confident, and people look at him with a hint of admiration in their eyes.

"This time, let's play a big one..."

In a trance, Your Excellency the Chairman came back to his senses. When people reach a certain age, they will always recall the past inadvertently, because the past is their most precious wealth and the most profound thing in their memory.

He looked at Du Lin with slightly softer eyes, and just about to say something, there was a knock on the door.

After his permission, the butler stood outside the door and asked if he needed to change a pot of tea for them.

In fact, the butler didn't really want to change the tea for them, but just reminded the chairman in this innocuous way that the time he set has arrived.

Before opening the door for Du Lin, His Excellency the Chairman had already ordered the butler to notify himself after thirty-five minutes, because at that time he did not intend to chat too much with Du Lin.

People say that Durin is the political successor of Magus and the marriage partner of the Timamont family. He can represent Magus on some issues. For people of high status, Du Lin's weight is still not enough.

He is still far from being able to prove his worth politically. No matter how well he has done in the past, the positive political effects brought about by these good deeds have not affected these people. It's not really a group.

Moreover, these people have long been famous and held high positions. The achievements that Du Lin can achieve are very common to them. There will always be someone who can achieve Du Lin's level. Even if they can't, the difference will not be too big.

This means that it is more difficult for Du Lin to gain the approval of these people than imagined. Coupled with the influence of various human factors, not everyone is eager to let Du Lin prove his value in this circle. .

So before he only planned to give Durin thirty-five minutes, and then he would carefully consider the plans proposed by both Holmes and Durin, and finally find a more feasible one.

Delete the problematic parts, and then use them in the current situation.

But what he didn't expect was that it took only thirty-five minutes for Durin to convince him to choose Durin's plan, which was almost impossible, but he did it.

On his confident face, there is only calmness towards the future, without the slightest fear or fear, and there is also a trace of eagerness to challenge. He is an arrogant and bold boy, but he also exudes a convincing temperament and attitude.

Your Excellency the Chairman shook his head, "No, go and inform our cook that we need to add a portion for two people in the evening, and let Sulius come back for dinner at night..."

After he finished his orders, the butler gave Du Lin an extra look in surprise when he turned around, and then began to complete the orders of His Excellency the Chairman.

Hulius is the grandson of His Excellency the Chairman and the first heir in the family. He is the eldest son of the youngest son of the Chairman. He has already stepped into the political arena and serves as a member of Parliament in a small city next to the city of Odis. Loud name.

In fact, everyone in the family knows that Thulius will inevitably become the third generation of the family to carry the family banner. He will become a member of parliament before he is thirty-six years old, and he will most likely be the mayor at the age of thirty-six. Around the age of forty-four fought to become governor.

Even if he can't become governor, with His Excellency Chairman's status and prestige in the new party, even if he has already retired or even gone to see God at that time, it is not a problem to mix up a high-ranking party member.

After one or two terms in the party, you can choose to jump out and find a place to serve as governor, or continue to climb up. The presidium of the new party committee is not impossible.

Your Excellency the Chairman himself also values ​​this grandson very much. Now he calls Xiulius back for dinner, and asks for an extra portion for two people. Liss introduces Dooling.

The butler has served His Excellency the Chairman all his life, and his father has served His Excellency the Chairman's father all his life, and he has become a member of the family.

Sometimes they look at the outside situation from different angles and methods than those in power like Your Excellency the Chairman. He thinks that Du Lin is actually quite good, capable, and tough, much like Magus when he was young.

This is a good thing, at least even if Du Lin can't achieve the level of Magus, it will make the future of the family less confused.

After the butler left, His Excellency the Chairman smiled and invited, "Stay here and have dinner together. The lamb shank cooked by my cook is often mentioned by Mags. You should try it. This is the most delicious recipe in the empire. The empire can only be eaten by me!"

He was a little proud, because he was proud of a cook's skill, and of course it was true. In the past, Magus would sometimes take the initiative to come over for a dinner, because the cook mastered by your Excellency the Chairman was the only one in the empire. portion.

Important members of noble families, such as housekeepers, gardeners, and cooks are often domestic servants, the kind who have served a noble family for generations. Even in modern times, these people are still serving noble families.

It’s just that the current society is somewhat different from before. In fact, this existing system is also undergoing the influence of the culture of the new era. Many young people are unwilling to serve the big family. They cannot understand the thoughts of their ancestors, so that some families have Started hiring chefs and gardeners.

This is especially evident in the south. The southern aristocrats can be said to be the last batch of entrusted nobles in the feudal system of the empire. Their background is shallower, and they are less attractive to the servants in the family. It is difficult to retain outstanding people.

On the contrary, the situation in the north of the empire is much better. People are still used to referring to the nobles in the past as noble lords, and the environment has not changed much.

Nowadays, the owners of a large number of companies or workshops in the society under the banner of "serving the nobles for generations" are often founded by young people who have left noble families due to the impact of the social influence of the new era.

They used this method to quickly withdraw money from the pockets of the middle class, and successfully drove some other people who were waiting to leave the nobles and start their own businesses.

So everyone knows very well that the composition of an aristocratic family will become thinner and purer as it goes forward.

After showing off his cooking skills, Your Excellency the Chairman continued to ask, "I am very interested in your plan, but there is also a small problem here, how do you plan to make Powers fall while being able to Warn everyone, and won't it cause new disturbances?"

Powers' status is very special. As the leader of the new party, even if he is now shattered and unwilling to make progress, and hangs out with those businessmen all day, he is also the leader of the new party.

He represents the face of the New Party in society and is a certain embodiment of the value of the New Party. If something goes wrong with him, it is easy for people to link what happened to him with the current situation of the New Party.

The imperial party will never let go of such an opportunity. They will trumpet a small problem as a big problem affecting the empire. If the new party fails to survive, it is very likely that it will face even more troublesome situation.

He was very curious about Du Lin's method. Powers probably wouldn't agree so readily to give up the power in his hands, even though this power is sometimes not very effective.

Du Ling smiled a little reservedly. Instead of answering the question immediately, he asked a new question, "We can talk about this later. Your Excellency, do you have any opinion on the idea proposed by Dolly?"

Your Excellency the Chairman frowned and recalled for a while before asking, "You mean that I will be the leader of the new party?"

Du Lin nodded, removed Powers, and promoted the more authoritative and status of the chairman to become the leader. Dolly, who connected all the key points in series, would naturally be pushed to the position of chairman of the committee and become the second leader in the party. Top chair.

When she becomes the chairman, a position of vice chairman will be vacated, which is what Du Lin needs.

Once he becomes the vice-chairman of the new party committee, it is very likely that he will stand out in the election campaign six years later and become the youngest prime minister in the empire.

As long as he sat in that position, this empire, this world, would be under his control.

But having said that, the first step is to vacate the space, if you can't go on the first step, you don't need to think about the rest.

After thinking for a while, Your Excellency the Chairman joked with a half-smile, "It's very attractive, but don't you think that Powers is better in that position than I am in that position?"

Now that he has decided to introduce his grandson to Du Lin, Your Excellency the Chairman doesn't mind saying a little more. What he means is actually very simple.

Everyone now knew that the conflict between Powers and During always ended with Powers backing down, and that the idiot was almost on the verge of quitting his job in the party and thinking only of himself.

Such a person may be worthless at work, but for Du Lin, he is better controlled. He is a puppet himself, and he doesn't care who is manipulating those threads behind him. into the pocket.

Putting such a waste in the position of the leader of the new party, and then knocking out your Excellency the Chairman as a target, pushing Dolly to come to power, and Du Lin taking advantage of the situation to enter the presidium, seems to have more advantages than choosing to remove Powers and push Your Excellency to come to power. Also more reliable handling.

Du Lin laughed twice, he took out another cigarette, pinched the cigarette holder backwards, and weighed the cigarette holder on the platinum cigarette case to compact the shredded tobacco.

With a cigarette in his mouth, he took out his lighter and lit it, took a puff, and then spit it out, "Because the new party is not my springboard, it will be my career."

The expression on His Excellency the Chairman's face froze for a moment, becoming a little solemn and dignified. He looked at Du Lin, as if he wanted to see through the true face behind the hypocritical mask on this young man's face.

For about half a minute, I don't know if he saw through it, but he nodded slightly, "Well said, career, I like this word very much."

"Maggs used this word more than forty years ago to deceive many of us into doing some stupid things with him, and now a young man is going to use this word to deceive me into making some important decisions, you...", he somewhat Looking at Du Lin in amazement, "You won't be colluding, will you?"

After a few seconds of silence, both of them laughed. It was obviously just a joke. Your Excellency the Chairman touched his chin and smiled, "It's really interesting to chat with you. It makes me feel very relaxed."

Du Lin said with a smile, "Because I'm very honest and never hide my true thoughts, although they often say it's shameless..."

His self-mockery made the Chairman laugh louder, and the laughter gradually subsided. He also nodded several times, and finally patted the armrest of the chair, "Why not? We used to be able to create miracles, I I believe we can create miracles now!"

The two immediately began to discuss the following matters. Your Excellency the Chairman's preference for Du Lin was not a sudden decision. Magus was very disappointed with only a weak transfer for such a long time.

In fact, he also sees some problems in the party, but it is difficult for him to deal with them now, because no matter where to start, it is not suitable.

Hands on those who have found their next home and are about to leave?

Soon people will start to spread some gossip, such as the tyranny within the New Party, and the fact that there is no living soil for the populists, prompting some members of the populists to leave the New Party one after another.

Politics has never been clean, and it is impossible to be clean in the future. As long as he does it, people from the Imperial Party and even the Labor Party will launch public opinion campaigns to attack the new party. For these people, the last thing they want is a A new party leader emerges who can last for decades.

Before such people appear, the best way is to snuff out the new party in the process of revival.

If you take action against the middle and high-level people, people in the party are already in panic. Dolly keeps interviewing the middle-level and high-level people, so that the turbulent situation will only be maintained between the bottom and the middle and lower levels, as well as between some middle-level and a small number of high-level people.

The new party committee does not act on the hardest-hit areas, but instead acts on those who have not yet made a choice, which will also accelerate the speed of division of these people.

So it’s impossible to fight, and it’s impossible not to fight. It’s not that your Excellency the Chairman doesn’t do things, but that he has to take care of these things besides watching Powers, and he is too old to do it alone.

He is not Magus, he has the most suitable solution as soon as he encounters a problem. He is just an ordinary person with visible limits, so he has to choose.
