Cosma Empire
Chapter 1322
If the office building of the new party can be described as luxury, the prefix of the office building of the old party should be luxury.
All kinds of expensive antique oil paintings can be seen everywhere. Those collections worth tens of thousands of dollars are placed at the corner of a corridor in the office building and on the walls outside some offices as if they were worthless.
Even the hanging chandeliers are pure crystal lamps handmade by well-known craftsmen of all sizes.
If you haven''t been to the office building of the old party, you won''t understand money. It''s nothing in the eyes of these people.
In fact, the traditional interest transmission of the old party is more like a tradition between nobles. The lower nobles transmit their interests to the upper nobles, and then the upper nobles will be responsible for protecting the interests of the lower nobles from infringement, and give certain opportunities appropriately.
In the past, this practice was applicable to any aristocratic system, just like the game of "people under Rule - small aristocrats - big aristocrats - leaders of aristocratic groups". Money represents not wealth, but specific means of loyalty.
Of course, money is still useful. The expenditure of the old party is much larger than that of the new party. In addition to doing many big things over the years, Maggs has also reduced the expenditure of the new party and the government.
The new party members are used to living a "hard life", but the old party members are not used to it. This part of the interests known as "contributions" will be used to maintain the party''s daily expenses and welfare distribution.
It seems that the interests of lower level officials disappear when they transfer them to the top. In fact, they are fed back to everyone through other ways.
The office building of the old party is opposite the office building of the new party. The "nests" of the two parties are only across the road. People working here in the imperial capital are familiar with each other''s party management. After all, they can meet each other almost every day. Even if they don''t speak, it''s always necessary to nod to maintain each other''s demeanor.
When Dooling entered the conference hall, it was like a boulder falling into the water. Both the ripples and the original spray were blown clean. Suddenly, people lost their language ability, and quickly affected the whole conference hall without any redundant sound.
People were either shocked or indifferent to look at Turin. Kubar deliberately fell behind. In people''s eyes, Turin came here alone.
After about ten seconds of silence, someone suddenly laughed and shouted, "look what I found... A single new Party member!"
There was laughter in the huge room. It seemed that this guy had told a great joke, but Turin didn''t find any laughter. As he walked forward, he raised his head and retorted, "but you don''t dare to stand in front of me and say this in front of me!"
The instant laughter was strangled by the invisible force for a moment. There were some angry whispers in the hall that calmed down again, but as Turin said, no one dared to stand in front of him to ridicule him. It was an act of seeking death.
When someone was ready to attack Dooling, the coughing sound from the door frustrated these people''s ideas. Kubar calmly caught up with Dooling''s steps, and the two walked towards the rostrum together.
Under the rostrum, Dooling stopped, and kubar went straight up.
As the leader of the old party and the Prime Minister of the Empire, he naturally sat at the center of the rostrum. On both sides were the chairman of the old Party committee, the whip of the old party, the three vice chairmen of the old party and the Minister of the action Department of the old party.
The positions of the two parties are different, but not completely different.
In the inner-party departments of the old party, the status of the action department is second only to the presidium. If the action department is to be given a clearer name of authority, the "inner-party work implementation Department" may make people understand a little.
Whether it is the decision of kubar, the party leader, or the decision of the old Party committee, the person ultimately responsible for implementing these decisions is the implementation department, which is more like the "vice presidium", so the Minister of action department also sits on the podium.
As for the party whip, the power of the party whip of the ruling party is much higher than that of the non ruling party. In short, the party whip of the ruling party can not only interfere, supervise and punish the members of the party who have violated the articles of association, but also interfere with some behaviors outside the party that humiliate and damage the party''s image and interests in various ways, and lodge complaints against the specific implementers, It has certain supervision power over public behavior.
As everyone knows, power can only be demonstrated outside the party when the status is demonstrated within the party, so the party whip of the ruling party will rank third and sometimes fourth.
The people on the podium just looked at Du Lin curiously and didn''t speak. There was a big gap between their status and those below. Others can talk about the reasons why Du Lin appeared here at will, but they can''t.
Because every word of people at their level has a certain effect, legal effect, political effect and other forces to some extent.
Every word must be considered before it can be said in a fair occasion, which makes them not open their mouth easily before they understand the essence of things.
The quiet conference hall is much more comfortable than that of the new party. The ladder conference rooms of the new party are "ordinary" tables and chairs, but here are luxurious leather sofas, and some waiters are providing drinks and snacks!
They don''t seem to have a meeting here at all, but chat and have dinner here.
A few minutes later, the time went to the whole point. Kubar patted the microphone and the whole audience was quiet.
Kubar has a high position in the old party and is also very respected. Because he defeated MARGES and became the second imperial prime minister after MARGES, people respect him and think that he is the key for the old party to defeat the new party.
"Doolin, I think we all know him. If someone doesn''t know him, it must be you who spent your time watching TV on your study..." as soon as kubar opened his mouth, he used the noble''s unique cold humor to resolve the small conflict between Doolin and the members of the old party organization.
He waited for everyone to smile and then continued, "in fact, I allowed Mr. Dooling to attend our meeting this time. He persuaded me in my office, but I think it''s not enough. If he wants to get what he wants, he should convince you here, not let me persuade you!"
Most people quickly enter their roles, and they have tasted some special flavor from what kubar said.
This is why kubal decided to let durin convince these people. He can convince these people, but these people may not always be convinced. This is the gap between ordinary people and nobles.
Politicians from ordinary people will have a political "sense of moral shame". These people have a spontaneous centripetal force and persistence for their careers and parties. If there are no major changes, they rarely change their position easily, follow the instructions of their superiors and strive to fulfill their responsibilities.
However, aristocrats are different. Every aristocrat has learned a truth from the education he received since the day he was sensible. The reason why he can enjoy the material wealth and political status that others can''t struggle for for several or more lives today is not that he will know some great friends and join a great party in the future.
All this was given to him by the family. It was the wealth left by countless ancestors and many generations. Without the family, there would be no these. Without the family, there would be no them!
Therefore, in the eyes of aristocrats, the interests of families are always higher than personal interests and non family organizational interests.
Kubal can convince them, but they will also change. In particular, the initiator of the whole thing is not kubal, but durin. When they change their position and camp, they will not even be ashamed.
Rather than let kubal say it, let Turin say it. Because Turin''s broken mouth is eloquent, kubal thinks he can be persuaded, so others are more likely to be persuaded, real persuasion.
They looked at each other, and kubal continued, "I promised Mr. Turin ten minutes. He will spend ten minutes explaining some situations, and then ask for something. As for whether he can succeed, it''s up to you to decide.", he said to the staff looking at him, "prepare a microphone for Mr. Turin."
More than ten seconds later, a microphone fell into Turin''s hand. Kubal asked someone to get a small clock and put it on the table of the podium. Then he nodded his head, "ten minutes, Mr. Turin, you can start."
Du Lin looked around at the old party backbone like the aristocrats in the drama, and couldn''t help but lower his head and laugh.
Sometimes people are so cheap. Even if they know that Dooling''s smile is to attract their attention, the explanation behind the smile must be unpleasant. They are successfully seduced by curiosity.
"Excuse me, Mr. durin, are you going to laugh for ten minutes?" someone from the old party shouted, his voice filled with discontent.
Dooling shrugged his shoulders. He looked in the direction of the voice. "May I know which gentleman said just now?"
One of them raised his hand, which is also a subtle difference between nobles and ordinary people. At least the nobles will not refuse to admit it. It''s too humiliating and not elegant.
For aristocrats, decency and demeanor are second only to family interests. Even in some families, decency and demeanor are more important than family interests, especially those who have been brilliant but are now declining. They value face more than their own life.
When someone raised his hand, Du Lin was not surprised. He smiled and nodded his head. "I explained that I just smiled because I thought that four years later, you can no longer sit here calmly and maintain your appearance like an aristocrat. You will be angry and fall things, swear and do something disrespectful. I can''t help but want to laugh."
"Your modesty, your dignity, your demeanor and your superiority are still four years away. After four years, you will lose them forever!"
This sentence made a little discussion in the conference hall. Someone said loudly, "Mr. Dooling, if you just want to intimidate us with such uncertain assumptions, you may have the wrong attention."
"Intimidate?", Dooling looked surprised. "Do I need to intimidate you?"
"I''m just stating a fact. In fact, not only you, the old party and the new party will become a joke in four years, but this is not a joke."
Someone stood up and wanted to speak, but Dooling pointed to him and made a refusal gesture to stop him. He continued, "some people will say that I''m exaggerating some problems, or even fabricating some differences, but that''s just an excuse you don''t want to admit!"
"When I walked in from the gate, you only stared at my status as a member of the new party organization. I knew you didn''t find that the changes in the world had broken through our imagination."
Pointing to the outside, he said loudly, "just over there, the labor party, which already has more than 6 million organization members, is still developing organization members rapidly. They do not participate in any current political events, but only develop the number of members wholeheartedly. In four years, their organization members will exceed 10 million, affecting the choice of at least one fifth of the families in the Empire on the ballot."
"And the imperial party, the northern aristocrats'' recognition of the imperial party. I believe you have a better channel to learn more about the inside story than I do without my explanation. Those aristocrats who are excluded from the political circle have finally found a way to participate in politics. Ladies and gentlemen, do you still think they will be as non threatening as before?"
Durin took back his outstretched hand, clenched it into a fist and waved it fiercely, "no, never!"
"One fifth of the people in the Empire have become the votes of the Labour Party, and the other fifth have become the supporters of the imperial party. However, our old and new parties are still hostile to each other, and some even say they want to completely trample the new party to death?"
His face was full of ridicule and sarcasm, "stupid!"
"After the end of the new party, a large number of people will join the Labour Party and the imperial party, and only a few people may join the old party. Congratulations, ladies and gentlemen, you gave your enemies the greatest help you could have become, so that when they beat you, you don''t even have a chance to fight back!"
"Four years after the Labour Party set its goal, the imperial party has begun to take shape and start to work. We are still fighting here. If this is not stupid, what is stupid?"
The room was silent, and everyone was thinking or shocked by the current situation.
In fact, they are not unaware of the current political situation of the Empire. The people who can sit here and attend the meeting are not the kind of minions who can''t fart, but they choose to ignore those external threats.
This is not to say that they are so stupid that no one is aware of these things, but they are too proud and paralyzed by the immediate victory.
The first victory in 30 years made them proud. The election victories in various states made many people in the old party think that the new party is no longer justified, so the Labor Party and the imperial party, which have been established less than two years, are not their opponents.
Even if the Labour Party and the imperialist party have some strength, they are still not opponents. They lack information and people will not believe them.
But now, Dooling broke their idea of self deception and showed them the most realistic side.
Indeed, at this stage, neither the Labour Party nor the imperialist party are opponents of the old party, but their goal is not the mid-term election, but four years later.
Four years, more than 1000 days, is enough for too many things to affect the Empire, the whole society and every citizen!
Ten million families and at least 20 million votes have been able to win at least three to five states. Once the northern states are won by the imperialists, I''m afraid there will be nothing left in the rest.
There are more than 200 cities and towns in the Empire, and there are only 16 states. The Labor Party and the imperialist party have almost taken away more than half of the rest... How to divide it?
No matter how it is divided, it means one thing - the new party and the old party are completely behind the Labour Party and the imperialist party four years later.
This is just a very simple arithmetic problem, because it is so simple that one plus one equals two.
The long silence made the atmosphere in the conference hall a little depressed, and there was a low voice on the rostrum to exchange these issues mentioned by Dooling.
Although many people think that in the face of the current unlucky new party, the pursuit of victory can obtain more fruits of victory, this does not mean that it can really kill the new party.
There are many new party supporters everywhere. No matter what people say, woodland and ambillo are bound to be the new party''s vote warehouses. Both Dolin and Holmes have reached the governor''s limit, and they have a very solid grasp of the two states.
Sixteen minus two equals fourteen. In this election, two southern states are firmly on the side of the new party. If there is no big change, it is difficult for them to change their camp, which means that only twelve states can be divided.
The five northern states are bound to be included in the territory of the imperial party. What should the old party do when the Labour Party wins three or five states?
They are not even as good as the new party!
Even if the new party is deprived of another state, the old party cannot ensure that it can win 100% in the election. It may fall behind and be kicked out at the beginning.
This reality is really hard to accept. Just five minutes ago, they were still treating the Empire and society from the perspective of historical victors, but five minutes later, they were cursed by Turing and wanted to accept an inevitable failure in the future?
How is this possible... Although it is really possible.
Next, Du Lin continued to stab these old party dignitaries with a verbal knife for many times. More detailed data analysis showed a panic expression on many people''s faces. These people finally couldn''t stand the massive activities of the imperial party and the proliferation of their workers'' clubs.
Then the problem comes. How to solve it?
"Mr. durin, if you just want to tell us a terrible future, then we already know. The question now is, is there any way we can prevent this from happening?"
Dooling put away his smile, took a deep breath and replied confidently, "of course, I''m standing here to solve this problem!"
At this moment, it seems that the eyes and lights of the whole world are focused on him. His self-confidence and composure make people have an unspeakable admiration at the bottom of their hearts.
