Cosma Empire

On the weekend, bidding farewell to the vigorous western battle royale individual and team competitions in Ambiluo State, Du Lin rushed to the imperial capital before August.

After August, we will enter the "Golden March", and discussions will begin around the midterm elections.

For a long time in the past, the symbolic significance of the mid-term election is far greater than the actual significance. Even if some officials have ridiculously stupid governance ideas during their reign, the citizens of the empire are still very tolerant. They will give these idiots a chance to change .

Moreover, everyone abides by a wordless tacit agreement and a customary rule, that is, try not to launch a large-scale and protracted election campaign. This is not a general election, and launching a frontal war is of little significance.

Of course, that’s what you say, but you still have to do it. After entering September, various places will start to build momentum for the mid-term general election. Posters of various candidates will be posted on both sides of the street. Every one is allowed and not allowed to paste The place.

In fact, this is also preparing for the general election four years later. Candidates hope to ensure that they will not be forgotten by the public through the propaganda campaign of the mid-term general election.

Those in power who have already won the election continue their influence through various means of propaganda.

Those candidates will also take various publicity vehicles or even walk, appear in the streets and alleys, make passionate speeches, or have cordial conversations with the people.

For the public, September to the end of the year will be a very interesting time, because they can see many "scandals" in the political arena, and thus receive many benefits, such as fried chicken and fruit wine.

The activities of the Labor Party are much more frequent than the other three parties. It is said that someone wrote to the headquarters of the Labor Party, thinking that the logo of the Labor Party should be replaced by fried chicken and fruit wine. They will distribute a lot of fried chicken and fruit wine for free in every event to attract workers.

Some people think that the Labor Party’s move is tantamount to grandstanding, trying to use small favors to buy off the working class, but it has to be said that this trick is very useful. Many people joined the Labor Party just to get these fried chicken and fruit wine for free, and they never failed to participate. All the activities and sports ensure that I can eat a lot of fried chicken and not a drop of fruit wine every month.

The capitalists, who were once hated by the trade unions and the working class, finally appeared in the eyes of the Labor Party people in a positive image this time. They generously solved the funding problem of the Labor Party's various movements without making too many demands.

These members of the Labor Party who have taken advantage of it will naturally start to maintain the image of these capitalists, which is a win-win situation.

This year's Golden March will not be much different from previous Golden Marches,

But there will be some changes in some areas, because this year there are more Labor and imperial parties.

So far, the Labor Party does not have a clear political platform, except that it wants to make real workers the spokesmen for the interests of the working class. It is more like a toss without a clear purpose, but no one will underestimate them.

Just like this tossing and tossing, the number of registered members of the Labor Party has unknowingly led the other three parties. According to the statistics at the end of June and the beginning of July, the number of registered members of the Labor Party once exceeded 5 million, far exceeding the new party, the old party and the imperial party. The number of registered people, and even the party with the largest number of people in the whole world, is not one of them.

The numbers go up, and even if they don't act aggressive, people don't take them lightly.

Another difference is the imperial party.

After more than half a year of integration and construction, the Baath Party has completed all party building work and established the Baath Party, which is also known as the Imperial Party.

The eldest prince is currently acting as the leader of the Baath Party, and a middle-aged man who is not very well-known in the society has become the chairman of the Baath Party Committee. According to Kubal, this guy is the next head of the Rose Knights .

In addition, all the branches and leaves are complete, and the Ba'ath Party can be regarded as officially "online". This time, they have launched slogans to actively participate in the election in four northern cities. Judging from the current situation of Du Lin, there is not much resistance.

This may involve more internal transactions at a deeper level. In the last meeting, Kubal told Durin that the First Prince seemed to have reached some kind of agreement with some nobles in the north, and the First Prince could gain actual control over a part of the city.

Once the Baath Party can take control of certain cities, it means that the Baath Party will truly squeeze into the political arena of the empire.

Before they obtained real relevant rights, they had no seats in the Imperial Parliament, and their power was not recognized, but when some of them became councilors, mayors or even governors, it indicated that the Baath Party had begun to set foot in the real political arena.

Their momentum is not as big as the Labor Party, but their footsteps are ahead of the Labor Party.

The two emerging parties are eyeing each other, either directly or secretly expressing their desire for imperial power, while the two old parties are somewhat stagnant and lacking in vitality.

After three and a half years in power, Kubal's ability to govern has basically been accepted by the people of the empire. The international financial and trade organization he promoted alone is enough for him to be re-elected for another term.

In addition, he has also accomplished many remarkable political goals, such as bringing the navy back into the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Defense. In the opinion polls, his support rate is slightly lower than the previous election strategy. About sixty-eight parts.

There are not only good sides to the old party, but there are also bad sides. For example, the views of the old party at the bottom of society generally decline, and they think that the old party is far less important than the new party in dealing with ordinary people and the bottom of society. .

They put more energy into catering to the middle class and upper class of society, creating an invisible class for these people, a privileged class, which is the main problem they are criticized for.

As for the new party... don't mention it.

Last year, after Du Lin's threat and deterrence, the problems in the party got a little bit better, but only a little bit better. Some people left without stopping because of Du Lin's threat. They just didn't contact more people. leave together.

Coupled with the appeal of the Labor Party to the populace, and the appeal of the Imperial Party to some aristocratic factions, Magus's "coma" and the inaction of the party's top leaders will indeed disappoint many people.

After leaving some people, the situation has stabilized a bit, but compared to the drive of the Labor Party and the Imperial Party, which can't wait to appear in front of people every day, the drive of the new party is obviously somewhat insufficient.

If this situation does not change in any way, another group of people will definitely choose to leave before the general election.

At this time, it happened to be the time when Du Lin could take a step forward. In the past two years, even a year ago, if he wanted to take a step forward, many people would object.

His age has always been his fatal flaw. If he is ten or twenty years older, no one in the new party will be able to stand in his way.

But he is too young. He is so young that he will be promoted to the top five politicians in the party even if he does not finish a term of governor. Even if those people don't say it, they will not admit it in their hearts. .

They will regard Du Lin as a thief who stole the fruits of victory that belonged to others, or a jester and clown who got lucky by marrying a woman from the Timamont family. There are many things that can be compromised on the issue of power, but Not that much.

So he has to be patient for a term of governor, and then launch this plan, he has to be patient in the west until today.

Three years and eight months of governor's career made Du Lin infinitely close to thirty years old. He was only a teenager when he just left home, and now twelve years have passed in the blink of an eye.

In fact, if you do the math, from the beginning to now, he has spent a lot of time and energy. It's not that he didn't give anything, and he even paid much more than others.

But people can't see this because he is not yet thirty.

When he saw Du Lin, Powers' expression obviously changed. He didn't expect that Du Lin would take the initiative to come to him. Du Lin looked more mature than before, but Powers looked younger than before.

People are really strange things. After throwing away the psychological burden and spending money and benefits in a comfortable mood all day long, Powers's wrinkled and vicissitudes of face actually become a little plumper and a lot brighter. It looks like Gained some weight.

Du Lin strode into Powers' office, and the secretary of Your Excellency the Leader stood outside the door with a helpless expression on her face, as well as a trace of uneasiness. She did not fulfill her responsibilities as a occultist.

Powers waved his hand a little irritably, then looked at Du Lin, who sat down directly across from him, and frowned, "I'm going to participate in an event later, we can try to keep it as brief as possible." Problem solved."

He didn't like Durin, he didn't like Durin the same as before, and even hated Durin.

We are all born in poor families, why are the fates so different?

He worked hard all his life, no matter whether it was prestige or humiliation, in the end he got a leader of the new party who didn't have much real power, and a boy like Du Lin was destined to become the prime minister of the empire in the future?

Decades of struggle are not as good as a young man's good luck. This kind of thing is unacceptable to anyone. What is even more unacceptable is that he was only one step away from Du Lin's "good luck".

He even touched those things, as long as that woman agrees to marry him, then the future that Du Lin can have in the future is his present.

But he still lost that opportunity, lost it forever, so that he doesn't have much confidence when facing this young man now.

Du Lin nodded, "This is what I want to say, we lack a basis for chatting, so it's better to do business..." These words made Powers slightly relieved, and it sounded like Du Lin It's not here to make trouble.

He has only been doing his own thing for more than a year, and has never offended Du Lin at all, so much so that he is deliberately avoiding this mad dog.

Thinking of this, a not-so-good-looking smile appeared on his face, and he pretended to be generous and said, "If there is anything I can help with, please let me know!"

Du Lin nodded, crossed his legs, and said with a smile, "Then please get back from your illness..."

Retired due to illness... This word is considered a fresh word, it only appeared in the thesaurus last year, and the whole process should be a short sentence - unable to continue working due to illness, and retired early.

The reason why Du Lin wanted Powers to retire from his illness and not for other reasons was because illness seemed simpler than some irresistible factors, and it didn't look like it was full of conspiracy.

If you are obviously healthy but retire for some inconvenient reason, it will inevitably make people wonder if there is something shady about it.

But not sick, because everyone will get sick, which is an irresistible law of nature.

It was just a simple sentence, but it caused Powers' face to change several times. He naturally understood what Du Lin said, and his eyes became a little dangerous, "You mean... let me retire early? "

Du Lin shrugged his shoulders, "If you understand it that way, there is no problem, that's what I mean."

Powers laughed out of anger, "Do you think I will agree to your exaggerated request?"

Du Lin curled his lips, "Then let's change the request a little bit. If you retire from illness now, I can choose to ignore what you did in the past."

Power immediately frowned, and his tone became a little sullen, "Are you threatening me?"

"Threat?" Du Lin laughed twice, "No, I'm just offering you a choice. Whether you choose or not is up to you. Personally, I suggest that you do as I say."

Powers took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and pointed to the door, "Get out, immediately!"

If the previous conflict between Du Lin and him could be regarded as Du Lin's provocation to him, then the request that Du Lin made to him now is an insult to him.

Magus has played tricks on him for many years, and at the end of the day, his successor, Du Lin, will come to humiliate him. This made Powers emotionally fluctuate. He pointed in the direction of the gate and roared loudly, "Get out!"

Du Lin's expression became colder, he stood up, looked down at Powers, his tone became light and light, "You rejected my kindness..." He paused here, then smiled, as if It was just a joke that Powers told him to go, "May God bless you!"

Watching Du Lin leave, Powers' undulating chest gradually healed a little. Being insulted for no reason made Powers feel overwhelmed. He walked back and forth a few steps, thinking about what Du Lin did. What exactly is the purpose.

After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't understand why Du Lin came to humiliate himself suddenly, was it just for fun?

He looked at his watch, the time for the event was approaching, he packed up and walked out of the office, quickly walking towards the stairs.

As the leader of the new party, Powers' office is naturally on the highest floor of the office building. This ancient building does not have an elevator, but fortunately it is only five floors high.

There is a winding staircase leading directly to the first floor. Walking on this staircase, you can overlook the entire office hall, which is also one of the privileges of the leader.

The moment he lifted his foot, Powers' face changed wildly, and he felt that someone pushed him hard from behind, right at the door of his office, in the old den of the New Party!
