Reborn American Giants

Chapter 109 Ambition

There was feasting and feasting, cups and chopsticks mingling among each other, everyone holding hands with the beauty, chatting and socializing.

This is the headquarters of the Christian Democratic Party on Cordis Street. It was two days after Filiagas resigned. This incident fully demonstrated the power of the Christian Democratic Party to other parties in El Salvador. With the resignation of Filiagas

disappeared, and the tax subsidy bill that was rumored to be proposed by him was rejected by the city council with an absolute majority of 42 votes. The Nationalist Republican Alliance suddenly lost its voice and became very low-key.

This victory is a major victory for the Christian Democrats before the general election. They successfully repelled the Nationalist Republican Alliance's test against the Christian Democrats and proved their strength as the largest party in the National Assembly.

Victor's performance in this victory was also rewarded. He will serve as the supervisor of the San Salvador City Council and the Christian Democratic Party Supervision Office. Orville, who previously held this position, will announce his resignation as a city council member in the near future.

He will return to the party headquarters as Minister of Legal Affairs to assist President Jose Napoleon Duarte in his election campaign.

For both Orville and Victor, this is a jump in the status of their respective parties. Victor will become the top three Christian Democrats in the city council, but Orville will not be able to appear in front of everyone in the future.

Carrying the name of Chairman Jose's personal secretary, the person who will be revealed to the public will be a promising young politician like the Minister of Justice of the Christian Democratic Party.

If Jose Napoleon Duarte wins the election, Orville is likely to enter President Jose's cabinet and serve as a senior official in the judicial department.

Therefore, no matter what the expressions of the people present now are, Victor and Orville feel happy from the bottom of their hearts, and both parties have received "rewards" that satisfy them.

Orville raised the wine glass in his hand to signal, and with a "ding" sound, Victor also raised his glass to greet him, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Standing next to Victor was Mrs. Louisa. She accompanied Victor to the campaign reception held by the Christian Democratic Party before the election with a charming smile. She was now deeply proud of her eyes. As expected, Victor

He is a natural politician. In a short period of time, he climbed to the position of junior whip chief in the Christian Democratic Party. Just like Chairman Amfilo, although he is not a member of the cabinet, he is responsible for the party.

discipline and stance.

The party whip was first established by the British Parliament. The English name is "party whip". It comes from the past when hunting, waving the whip in the hand and following the running dogs in a group, so that they can maintain their formation and not be distracted by individual differences.

This title vividly describes the role of the chief whip.

The Chief Whip will be the official who ensures that the policies of their party are implemented. They are the "executors" of the party, using a combination of grace and power to get members to vote in accordance with the party's official policy, while also ensuring that when there are important votes, the party

All representatives can participate.

After the independence of the United States, in 1897, Republican Speaker Thomas Reed introduced this British party position to the U.S. House of Representatives for the first time. He appointed James Tawney as the first Republican Whip, and the Democratic Party followed suit. Oscar

Walder Underwood was appointed the Democratic Party's first whip in the House of Representatives in 1900.

After Jose implemented political reforms, he also adopted this intra-party position originating from the British and American parties. He established the position of "supervision" within the Christian Democratic Party. Although the name is different, the nature is the same, which is to ensure the ideological thinking of members within the party.

The unity of the party allows those lower-level members to act in a unified manner following the baton of the party, so that the policies promoted by the party can be well implemented and executed.

However, the congressmen's candidacy is supported by all kinds of forces behind them. After they are elected, they must repay the sponsors behind them and provide them with benefits. At some point, the policies promoted by the party will inevitably offend the "financiers" behind some congressmen.

"Lord", at this time, the party whip is needed, and he will use the "party whip order"

To exercise party authority, including losing office or having no hope of promotion, the government will stand by in the next election, the local party headquarters will not nominate candidates for election, and the most serious thing is that the chief whip can also issue a "dismissal of the party whip", that is,

Expelled from the party, you can vote as you please from now on, and the party will not care about you.

Of course, such a serious approach as the last one rarely occurs, and the chief whip usually uses the "weaknesses" of the MPs that he has collected and learned from solving problems for the MPs in the party. The combination of kindness and power makes him miss the way the party once treated him.

"taking care" of him, and even making him cry bitterly, saying that he would never make such a choice again in the future.

"Come to my office tomorrow, there are some things I think I should give to you," Orville whispered to Victor.

"I haven't congratulated you yet. You have now become the most promising young politician in the party. I am here to formally congratulate you," Victor raised the wine glass in his hand.

Orville couldn't hide his inner joy on his face. After clinking glasses with Victor, he whispered in Victor's ear again: "I heard that a proposal is being formulated in your office?"

Victor was shocked. He had kept this matter very confidential. In order to prevent the news of the enactment of the bill from being leaked, he specially asked Lopez to go to the National University of El Salvador and the University of Central America to find those who were "inexperienced in the world."

college students, locking them in a small conference room next to their congressman's office every day, immersed in El Salvador's housing laws, and formulating a housing reform welfare bill. But now listening to Orville's tone, has this bill been leaked?

?

"Don't be nervous, you have done a very good job," Orville patted Victor on the shoulder, "But you have to understand that as long as you do anything, there will definitely be traces, let alone a person like that in the Parliament Building

Where everyone is passing on news, I have blocked this matter for you, but I

I don’t think you can keep this secret for too long. You should seize the opportunity and take advantage of the moment when the party has just won a victory over the Nationalist Republican Alliance. This is when people are most united and other neutral parties are also frightened. Quickly raise your opinion.

This proposal can be passed by the city council in one fell swoop.”

"Thank you very much, Orville, I will gain my friendship," Victor nodded understandingly. He knew that Orville wanted to give him these instructions before leaving in order to make Victor owe him a debt of gratitude.

He is a "favor". After all, he is about to leave the city council and enter the party's internal work. This will reduce his control over the officialdom of San Salvador City. In order to maintain his own interests, he will treat Victor

Show goodwill.

"Ding ding ding" a crisp knocking sound came through the microphone from the front desk of the huge banquet hall. Victor and Orville also stopped talking and looked over.

Chairman Asdias Amfilo saw everyone's gaze. He put down the glass wine glass and a small silver spoon in his hand, coughed lightly into the microphone, and heard his majestic and precise words.

Filled the entire hall.

"Welcome all party members and supporters to come today. I know that everyone doesn't like to see my old face on the stage," Senator Amfilo made a rare self-deprecation.

The majestic and inaccessible image he left behind made his self-deprecation full of black contrast, and everyone burst into laughter. They knew that on today's occasion, the chairman of the Christian Democratic Party would never think that this was

Offensive to him.

Congressman Amfilo waited for the laughter in the audience to subside. He tapped the microphone and continued: "You are the backbone of the party and social progressives who have supported our party for a long time. I want to thank you for your support of the party.

and help, and we Christian Democrats will also never forget our friends who have helped us, which is particularly important."

After a pause, Senator Amfilo waited for the people in the audience to digest the hidden information in his words. A rare smile appeared on his face, "Please let us cheer loudly to welcome the leader of the Christian Democratic Party, why?"

Arrival of President Señor Leon Duarte.”

The senior party officials in the audience clapped their hands and cheered loudly to welcome their leader's arrival. This kind of emotional excitement that you would never see from them at ordinary times was definitely not seen on an occasion like today.

It makes people feel strange because everyone is in the same state, even some young people standing in the back

The party members looked even more out of sorts. Next to Victor and Orville, there was a party member who looked relatively young. He was so excited that his face was a little distorted. His vigorous pumping of his hands made Victor suspect that after the party was over,

In the end, the other party will definitely find that his palm is inexplicably thicker.

Chairman Amfilo at the front desk took two steps back gently while maintaining a smile, and stood next to the party chairman Embrioni Hernandez, giving up his position to a figure who did not appear tall, but looked full of endless energy.

A dynamic, sixty-year-old man, he is the leader of the Christian Democratic Party, the party's presidential candidate, and the current chairman of the military government, Jose Napoleon Duarte.

Orville looked at Chairman Jose's wave on the stage, which caused even more violent cheers and applause from the audience. He whispered in Victor's ear: "Victor, look, this is the charm of power. In the future we will

One day I will also appear on that stage.”

Victor didn't speak, he just looked at the old man on the stage, with a flame called "ambition" burning in his black pupils.
