Cosma Empire

The news of Holmes' arrival in the imperial capital was not deliberately hidden from the outside world. The value of being a "surprise soldier" in political contests is not as great as imagined, and sometimes it even has the opposite effect.

The political environment and the battlefield environment can never be the same. The value of surprise soldiers on the battlefield lies in creating information asymmetry and hiding part of the information from the other party to find out.

Naturally, the opponent will not produce the effect of this part of information in the entire war game in the calculation, and finally use this unequal information difference to win.

Politics is different. If war is an overall calculation and deduction project that combines many factors and complete data, then politics is a compromise transaction between countless individuals. in constant evolution.

If Holmes hides himself, it will create a situation where he has not been involved in this matter, and people will abandon Holmes this important issue in the process of trading, so that in a series of He will be excluded from the scope of the transaction by these people.

We all know that the position of a person in society comes from the value he can generate for society, and it is the same in the political arena. If a person cannot generate value in one thing, then he is not a "must". People will avoid him.

When he intends to take out this amazing army, not only will he not get people's support, but it will arouse people's opposition. This is why every major political event that can affect the direction of history will start from the beginning. The two sides took the initiative to smudge away the breath of war.

They need more active participation and support from people.

So Holmes didn't think about whether he would be discovered. He showed up at the New Party office building with great fanfare, and then went to visit His Excellency the Chairman.

The meeting between the two of them this time was in the office of Your Excellency the Chairman.

"Is the situation of Mr. Powers not optimistic?" He said nonsense. Before he arrived in the imperial capital, he already knew that Powers's situation was not as simple as being optimistic, but he still asked, "What's the matter?" It will be a heavy blow to our future work."

Your Excellency the Chairman nodded. The "next work" that Holmes said refers to the answer sheet, or the report card, that the new party will show to all levels of society in the time span of Golden March.

In the past four years, what they have done, what level they have achieved, and what achievements they have accomplished, you can all brag about it at this time.

Some people call the golden March of the mid-term elections a tacit group political advertising time,

Every official will use various methods to flatter himself and suppress the enemy.

This may not seem like a good thing, because politicians will spend their energy on telling lies and boasting about themselves during this time, and they will not have much mind to work.

But in fact, Golden March is the time period with the highest government office efficiency in the past four years, not one of them.

Because at this time, every politician must show the best side to the people. They must maintain an efficient government operation system to ensure that they will not even take responsibility for their superior officials because of problems in their own links.

As for office productivity slowing down after Golden March..., people will soon forget about these things in the midst of busy work life and cheap entertainment.

Yes, our people are so kind and generous, easy to satisfy and forgetful.

As the leader of the new party, Powers must attend many important meetings and events during Golden March, and give at least six public speeches, but he can't do it now because it is difficult for him to recover in a short time.

If the leader of the new party does not appear, people will inevitably lose confidence in the new party. Now this is not a problem of a few people, but a problem that the whole new party needs to face.

Even if Holmes doesn't say it now, someone will bring up this matter at the regular meeting later, and initiate a vote to elect a new leader to replace Powers as soon as possible to preside over the normal work of the new party.

Your Excellency, the chairman, clasped his fingers and clasped them into fists on the desk, then he nodded his head, "That's true, I have already communicated with the ministers, and we plan to elect a new leader for the time being. The current difficulty, as to whether Mr. Powers should be allowed to preside over the work after Mr. Powers recovers in the future, there will be a vote in the future.”

Everyone is talking nonsense, but these nonsense are valuable, Holmes coughed lightly, "I think you are the most suitable candidate, whether it is work ability, resume or experience, only you are the most suitable person .”

Your Excellency the chairman smiled implicitly, "I will respect and support the results of the committee's vote."

This is also nonsense, but in the process of these two talking nonsense together, some information has been exchanged.

First, it is certain that Powers will temporarily lose his status as the leader of the new party. After all, he needs a long period of recovery before he can stand up again. The default is Mr. Chairman.

Second, the high level of the new party has formed a unity of opinion, which also means that a new chairman and a new vice-chairman may have been born. This needs further confirmation.

Third, the result is through the vote of the new party committee. Regardless of whether they have selected a new vice-chairman or not, Holmes has enough opportunities to fight for this position, because the voting conference requires all members of the organization to vote, even if the high-level has already decided on Du Lin, as long as he can get enough votes, he can still win.

Unless the presidium and the ministers don't even want the final decency, they can do something to negate the result of the vote.

As for the fourth, Holmes also realized that the cause of all this must have an inevitable connection with Dulin, and only in this way can things suddenly erupt and be pushed forward so quickly that he almost missed it. This opportunity.

After saying a few words of nonsense, Holmes came out of the Chairman's office, with a reserved and confident smile on his face, as if he had lifted up the long skirt of Victory and pushed Victory onto the bed - Victory is a girl.

This kind of expression made some people who saw him think about it. Sometimes people are like this, they always trust their eyes and ears more than their IQ.

After all, among the execution sequences of intelligent creatures like human beings, the instinct execution sequence is always higher than the rational execution sequence.

Soon the gossip that His Excellency the Chairman intends to promote Holmes began to spread within the New Party, and it spread throughout the entire imperial capital and the entire empire at an unbelievable speed.

Even if they are engaged in some kind of primitive, intense, and highly repetitive manual labor, they are very unhappy to be interrupted by the continuous ringing of the phone, and panting, they pick up the handset to get it from some insiders. these messages.

"This is just the first step..." Holmes gathered with his men who had gradually arrived in the villa in the imperial capital, and began to assign tasks to them. "This news must not only be circulated within the new party, I want you to spread the word so that more people know about this and think it's true."

The power of rumors is very scary. When everyone thinks that a female cousin sold her body and dignity to save her family that is about to break up, people will regard her as a saint, although she can change A decent job with dignity to support her family, even though her family just seems more troubled.

Rumors drive public opinion, and the direction of public opinion is often the direction of "truth". Many people at the bottom of society who are not qualified and have no way to know more about the real content of a certain matter will blindly take what they have obtained from other places and have obvious tendencies. The content is used as a real factor to refer to, and finally a specious conclusion is drawn.

Then these people will position this conclusion as the truth they have mastered, and use the double stupid truth of "I know the truth" and "I know the truth that you don't know" to go deeper into the society and society. in social activities.

Basically, these people will be used by people. In some media and newspapers, the "angry people" and "deceived people" described by the writers often refer to these people.

They are always hurt by their own stupid self-righteousness, and then obey the control of those who are really behind the scenes and those who really hold the truth, and change "deceiving themselves" into "others deceived me" to achieve even more terrible goals.

Every year, some celebrities, stars and politicians fall into such stupid public opinion. No one will explain everything behind it. That is not in the interests of these behind-the-scenes people. Will listen to the truth.

Therefore, the battle of public opinion is often the first battlefield opened up by political struggle. Holmes understood this very clearly, and he immediately launched an offensive, regardless of whether the person opposite was Du Lin or someone else.

"Second, I heard that Powers' secretary witnessed him fall down the stairs. I don't understand the process of this tragedy. Please help me bring that lady here safely and don't scare her. .”

"Third, I believe that we have collected a lot of materials about Dulin during this year. Now I need you to sort out these materials and find out what is valuable to us and can be used, including some of the previous ones. Material."

When he said this, he paused for a moment, frowned and hesitated for a while, "Fourth, arrange someone to keep an eye on Du Lin, it's best not to let him find out, I need to know who he meets every day from now on, It would be better if we could know what he said..."

Holmes's behavior style has an "industrial style" that he himself has not noticed. Everything is clearly listed and then handed over to a special person. Of course, this may also be due to his work in Woodland State Years of habit.

Just like what he thought, no matter what, Du Lin would be his greatest enemy and stumbling block, and he had no basis for others.

The news of Holmes' arrival in the imperial capital soon reached Duhring's ears together with the news that he had obtained the support of His Excellency the Chairman. Before he had met Holmes, Holmes targeted himself very precisely. .

This made Du Lin feel a bit of novelty. What kind of thing can make Holmes so accurate that he will definitely become his opponent?

But now that Holmes made a move, Durin would also make a move, but not now.

In the collision between the hunter and the prey, the hunter often wins. It is not that the physical fitness of the hunter exceeds the prey, but that the hunter will think, and he will arrange corresponding measures according to the behavior of the prey, and completely defeat the prey in a targeted manner!

His main job now is to chat with Kubal, which sounds stupid, because Kubal can't interfere with the work of the new party committee.

But don't forget that Kubal is not only the leader of the old party, but also the prime minister of the current cabinet. He is also Magus's closest friend and one of the representatives of the great nobles of the empire.

At present, members of the Noble faction have the largest number of people among the new members. It is difficult to persuade these people to vote for themselves, but it is very easy to persuade Kubal.

As long as Kubal can support himself, not only the possibility of obtaining the position of vice chairman will increase a lot, but also his chances of winning the election in the next general election will be higher—according to the imperial charter and legal provisions, the right to vote is free, in other words In other words, people from the old party can also vote for candidates from the new party, in the Imperial Parliament!

That's right, if you pull people from the old party to become your biggest help, you will not only be able to defeat Holmes, but you will also have a chance to defeat the imperial party, which is raging when it comes to the general election, and the Labor Party, which currently has the most members in the party organization!

Compared with Holmes, Duhring believes that the Labor Party and the Imperial Party are his real opponents. Once he loses too many seats in the Imperial Parliament, although this is an inevitable result, he is likely to win the election four years later. Lose, unless the people of the old party are united, this matter can be established.

Even in the deepest part of Dühring's mind, there was a very interesting thought.

For example... why can't the new party annex the old party and become the most powerful party in the empire?

There is no irreconcilable conflict between the two parties. This is entirely possible. Moreover, after the two-in-one party, the leadership and core members of the party will still be held by nobles. There will not be much difference between the new party and the old party. .

Everyone is working hard for the upcoming Golden March, or paying attention to what is coming, even Magus.

In the quiet ward, something about Golden March was being played, and there were not many hard-to-adjust stiff muscles on his calm face.

After a year of treatment, his problem has made great progress. Although he can't complete all the behaviors according to his own will, he has been able to express some simple content through writing in a short period of time.

Looking at the cheerful Doolin and Holmes on the background board of the chat show, as well as his old friend Earl Odegar, Magus's eyes were inexplicably strange.
