Cosma Empire

Melissa finally agreed to Ophelia's request. After all, she is only a twenty-year-old girl. She is not yet mentally prepared to bear the burden of becoming a mother and living in a prison in the future. Intend.

She was young, her life was just beginning, and she was a long way from the grave, so Ophelia had an easy time convincing her.

She agreed and handed over the child to Ophelia to raise him before he had any memory, in exchange for her complete freedom. Although she was a little bit reluctant and unaccustomed to it, her longing for a new life was quickly overwhelmed. Dispel these worries.

She stayed here that night, sharing a room with Ophelia, sleeping on the same bed as if they were best friends in the past, chatting together all night.

At seven o'clock the next morning, Du Lin, who had exercised, showered and had breakfast, looked at the two who came downstairs and said hello, then got up and left.

This morning's internal meeting of the New Party Committee will resolve things that have not been resolved during this period of time, such as Odegar's problem, Dolly's problem, and his problem.

Holmes left the imperial capital yesterday. He expressed his attitude with actions. He was willing to give up the opportunity of this competition and not let those outside the party with ulterior motives want to split the new party succeed. His determination and awareness moved many people. , for him to make up for the previous image damage, and also gained a lot of reputation.

Compared with Holmes, Duhring obviously gained not so many "benefits". Compared with the "understand the importance of unity", "have a full understanding of the development of the new party", "clear position and know how to measure" given by the society. Holmes, who was commended like this, Du Lin did not get much applause from the society this time.

He is more like playing the unlucky guy who has no future and is forced to compromise. He doesn't shine, and he doesn't have a fever. Of course, people still have a sympathetic attitude towards him as always.

This society is really too real. Those who care, sympathize, and even spend money to care for those upper class people will always come from the bottom of society.

So today, Du Lin, the unlucky doormat, will attend the meeting that has been dragged on for a few days, and then launch the new party's propaganda offensive to reverse the decline of the new party in some neutral states and some states that were taken by the old party. The general election after 2020 is crucial and cannot be delayed any longer.

Many people think that if the people are dissatisfied with the regional leader they have elected, they will change camps decisively, but this is not the case, because the moment the people elect a regional leader, they put their trust and loyalty It was all given to this lucky guy who was selected by people.

No matter what he does, good or bad,

People will take it, even the worst.

They seldom waver, because once they change their choices and positions, it means that they did a stupid thing four years ago, not only stupid but also blind.

They are unwilling to face such a self, so even if they hold on, they will survive the two terms, wait for the general election, and then use their brains full of mud and wisdom to vote for the next one who meets their favorite regional leadership candidates.

But there is a problem here. During the two terms, the public did not have many channels to obtain information and materials of other candidates, and it was impossible for regional leaders to promote their political opponents when they were in office. Therefore, the mid-term election becomes important.

If local people are unhappy with their regional leaders, now is an opportunity to learn more about the candidates, over the next four years they can focus on the active players in this midterm election, and develop a sense of special favor.

Just like the owner and the pet, this description may be a bit harsh, but it is also very accurate.

When voters see the current leader as unqualified and set their sights on other future candidates, there is a sense of anticipation that a pet is adopted and that the pet is about to embark on a journey to defeat the devil.

Supporting a new choice candidate is like feeding. Watching your new choice gradually emerge, becoming a popular candidate, contributing all your strength and making the new choice win, that deep sense of participation will make every voter feel Extremely satisfied.

They will be immersed in such repeated experiences, which is actually a manifestation of shallow political entertainment, releasing the contradictions that may or may not exist between the bottom society and the ruling class-because we have new support objects, old will eventually be replaced, then naturally all contradictions, differences and even conflicts will disappear with the change of power, it seems like this.

A clear time and method will make everything possible, which is why Magus chose this method after overthrowing the feudal dynasty, because it is safe and effective.

As for why the people are not allowed to elect the prime minister of the empire, that is another matter.

The New Party has lagged behind other parties for almost a week in the mid-term general election, and there are still some places that have not launched a publicity campaign for this mid-term general election, because Odegar has not yet been finally confirmed as the leader of the new party, and the future chairman of the new party committee has not yet been confirmed. No official appointment.

There are many activities and speeches in the propaganda offensive that require leaders and committee chairmen to attend. They are like the biggest bargaining chips of the new party, and they need to constantly move places in the next time. Naturally, they must also complete "unification" in terms of candidates.

You can't be one person one month and be another person the next, which will upset officials and members of the party organization, as well as local voters.

At 8:45 a.m., many people came to the meeting hall of the New Party office building. Basically, all members of the New Party who could walk had returned from the outside, and the most eye-catching one was the small group headed by Du Lin.

Some of these people had a long relationship with Du Lin. They were either Du Lin's agents, the president of the fellow countrymen's association or famous Guarts from various places, and some members of the lowest political circle who depended on them for a living.

After several years of operations by Du Lin and their own efforts, these people have basically gained a firm foothold in the local political circle, and they all gathered together for this new party committee meeting.

On the one hand, they want to cheer for Du Lin, and on the other hand, they want to release a signal, a signal that all real strong people will release, their territory and dominance.

In less than 20 minutes, a new term has begun to circulate among the people whispering in the conference hall, it is called "Du Lin Group".

This is a nice way of saying it, and there is another not-so-nice way of saying it called "During Interest Group", which is the term used to describe the small circle of Dühring.

This kind of group must exist, just like the Magistrates with a clear stand in the past, they stood together with a clear banner and became the most terrifying force in the new party.

Being able to deter people from other factions while at the same time boosting confidence for one's own people is not something that everyone can achieve.

What Du Lin is doing now is what Magus once did. He needs to form his own team, the Du Lin Gang in the new party, this is very important!

There was still some time left before the meeting, and Du Lin's people surrounded him, including a few small people who were not Guarts. People's attitude towards Du Lin was not very affectionate, and he was too obvious.

Just when people thought that During could not support his momentum this time, Schnoder arrived.

After Powers left, Schnoeder became the most prestigious and powerful person in the new party among those in power outside the party, and some state congressmen were excluded here.

It seems that state legislators should be older than the mayor in terms of power structure, but this is only "seeming" and "should". So far, the new party has not had a populist governor, so Schnoeder has become a new banner.

Almost 60 to 70 percent of the populist members of the new party have gone to the Labor Party. Compared with the Labor Party, which is full of vigor and more peaceful elements, the New Party is not only chaotic but also very dangerous.

But not every populist would choose to join the Labor Party, and almost 20% of the populists chose to stay and wait and see.

In the past, the New Party shocked them so much that they firmly did not believe that the New Party, which could be said to be as terrifying as the sun of the empire, would just fall like this, without even a chance of saving it. They didn't believe it, so they stayed.

Every political choice is a gamble, and they bet that the new party will rise again.

Some of these people are following Schnoeder right now, about 30 to 40 people, Schnoder is the core of this small group, and his status at this time is rising steadily under the support of these people, which is enough Eye-catching.

What is even more unexpected is that he did not sit alone with the people around him to form a small circle, but walked to Du Lin's side.

At this time, Du Lin was talking to Alfonso about his next job. The first thing Du Lin did after he took office was to clean up all the top leaders of the new party, and replace important positions with his own people. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is obviously the top priority. .

He didn't notice Schnoeder's arrival. On the contrary, when the noise around him fell silent, he stopped expressing, turned his head sideways and looked at the person standing in the middle of the walk beside him, and then his face revealed smiled, "You're here!"

Schnoeder bowed slightly, "Yes, Mr. Dühring, I'm here to say hello to you..." When he finished speaking, the members of the populist faction around him also took turns to greet Dühring.

There was a suppressed excitement on the faces of these people, and the eyes they looked at Du Lin were also full of some kind of longing.

It didn't take Schnoeder too long to convince these people. He just told them that he had been formally nominated by Durin as the successor governor of Ambiluo State (nomination by the state assembly is enough, and there is no need to go through the Imperial Assembly and Party meeting), this sentence immediately made these people agree with Schnoder's decision and follow Du Lin to do it.

In the past, whether it was the Magus era or the two years when Powers just came to power and held some power, it can even be said that in the history of the empire, there has never been a populist governor or governor.

Those aristocratic politicians always speak very well and are willing to share power with them, but when they really let go of the power in their hands and share it with others, those people will reveal their true colors.

Putting Powers aside for the time being, it wasn't Mags' fault that Mags didn't do this either, but rather his caution.

Whether it was the just overthrow of the royal family or the political reforms over the years, two types of people have been hit the hardest by this empire. The first type of people are members of the royal family, and the second type of people are the bottom of society.

As for the nobles... they are still nobles!

The former lost all the privileges of the past, while the latter ushered in the first big victory in hundreds of years.

Under such circumstances, the desire for power and ambitions of the populist suffragettes will rapidly inflate because of this unprecedented victory for the first time in thousands of years. Once a state is thrown to a populist governor to manage.

Then this populist governor will soon set up a mountain, quickly allowing the populist to multiply and expand within the party, and they will even dare to compete with the high-level.

A state can support at least seven or eight mayors, and officials of all sizes in more than a dozen regions and towns!

In order to avoid wasting too much time and energy in internal fighting, Magus’s consistent strategy is that the populace can be the top of the party, ministers and even vice-chairmen can do it for you, except for senior positions outside the party. Not at all!

As long as these people do not hold real power in their hands, they will not be able to swell up and wrestle with the Magus faction and the noble faction for a day.

But now, everything is different, everything has changed, and the attitude of these populist members towards Durin and the attitude towards Magus and others are completely different.

After all, Du Lin was born as a farmer anyway, right?

In this way, Du Lin is also his own talent!

Sure enough, only your own people will take care of your own people!

The members of the party here took turns shaking hands with Duoling and talking, as if they were on a pilgrimage, surrounded Du Lin in the crowd, which made the faces of the surrounding aristocrats and members who had power not so good.

When the time points to 9:45, everyone who should come has come, everyone on the rostrum is also present, and the party plenary meeting officially begins.

Leaving aside the trivial matters in front, they basically passed. The main reason is that everyone's thoughts are not here. It wasn't until the routine matters were over and Dolly stood up that the real drama began.

"According to the new party constitution, when the party leader is unable to perform his duties due to irresistible factors such as illness, a meeting of all members of the organization can be held to elect a suitable candidate to temporarily replace the party leader to perform the duties of the leader."

The entire meeting hall was silent, Dolly looked around, and continued, "The situation we are facing now has met the implementation standards of this charter. After discussion and unanimous approval by the three chairmen and vice-chairmen of the new party committee, this meeting will pass the approval of all members. Vote to elect a temporary acting leader to perform his duties, if anyone has any objections, please raise it now..."

Only a fool would speak at this time. This is not to offend one person, but to offend a large group of people, a large group of high-ranking and powerful people!

Dolly nodded noncommittally, "No one has any objections, then we will conduct this vote next. According to the procedure, anyone can propose a candidate, and two-thirds of the participants vote to become a representative." leadership candidates."

"I will join a team, and I will nominate Mr. Odegar. Please vote now!", in fact, only Dolly can say this kind of thing, after all, she is the only woman on the rostrum.

A few seconds later, there were forests of arms raised in the conference hall.
