Chapter 1321 The Son of Destiny with BGM and Lighting Engineer
If the office building of the new party can be described as luxury, then the prefix of the office building of the old party should be described as luxury.
Various expensive antique oil paintings are everywhere, and collections worth tens of thousands or tens of thousands are placed casually at the corner of a corridor in an office building and on the walls outside office doors, just like they are worthless.
Even the hanging chandeliers are pure crystal lighting handmade by well-known craftsmen of all sizes.
If you have never been to the old party office building, you will definitely not understand that money is nothing in the eyes of this group of people.
In fact, the transfer of interests in the old party has always been more like a tradition, a tradition between nobles. The lower aristocrats transfer interests to the upper aristocrats, and then the upper aristocrats will be responsible for protecting the interests of the lower aristocrats from infringement and appropriately giving certain opportunities.
This practice was applied to any aristocratic system in the past, just like the "leader of the group of small aristocratic and large aristocratic groups under the rule". Money does not represent wealth, but specific means of loyalty.
Of course, money is still useful. The old party’s expenses are much larger than those of the new party. In recent years, Magus has not only done many big things, but also reduced the expenses of the new party and the government.
New Party members are used to living "hard life", but old Party members are not used to it. This part of the benefits called "dedication" will be used to maintain the party's daily expenses and welfare payments.
It seems that the lower-level officials have disappeared after transferring their interests to the top, but in fact they are fed back to everyone's hands through other means.
The old party office building is opposite the new party office building. The "old nests" of the two parties are only separated by a road. People working in the imperial capital are familiar with each other's party management. After all, they can meet them almost every day. Even if they don't speak, they are always needed to nod and maintain each other's demeanor.
When Dulin entered the conference hall, it was like a huge rock falling into the water. Whether it was the ripples or the original splashes, they were blown away completely. Suddenly, people lost their ability to speak and quickly affected the entire conference hall without any unnecessary sound.
People were either shocked or looked at Dulin indifferently, and Kubar deliberately fell behind. In people's eyes, Dulin came here alone.
After about ten seconds of silence, someone suddenly laughed and said loudly, "Look at what I found... a new party member who was alone!"
There was a sudden laugh in the huge room. It seemed that the guy had said a very amazing joke, but Dulin didn't find any laughs. He raised his head and retorted, "But you dare not stand in front of me and say this in front of me!"
The instant laughter was strangled by invisible force in an instant, and there were some whispers in anger and angrily cursing in the hall that calmed down again, but as Dulin said, no one dared to stand in front of him and ridicule him, that was a verbal act of seeking death.
When someone was about to attack Dulin again, the coughing sound at the door made these people's thoughts faint. Kubar caught up with Dulin's pace with a calm face, and the two walked towards the rostrum together.
Under the rostrum, Dulin stopped and Kubar walked up.
As the leader of the old party and the prime minister of the empire, he naturally sat in the center of the rostrum, with the chairman of the old party committee, the old party whip, the three vice chairmen of the old party and the minister of the operation department of the old party.
The positions of the two parties are different, but they are not completely different.
Among the old party departments, the position of the Operation Department was second only to the presidium. If the Operation Department was to be given a clearer name of authority, then the "Party Work Execution Department" might make people understand a little bit.
Whether it is the decision of Kubar, the party leader or the decision of the old party committee, the person responsible for implementing these decisions is the executive department, which is more like a "vice presidium", so the minister of the operation department also sat on the rostrum.
As for the party whip, the power of the ruling party whip is far higher than that of the non-ruling party whip. Simply put, the ruling party whip can not only interfere, supervise, and punish members within the party who violate the constitution, but also interfere with behaviors outside the party that humiliate and damage the image and interests of the party through various means, file accusations against specific implementers, and have a certain right to supervise the public's behavior.
Everyone knows that only when the party is demonstrated within the party is demonstrated, but only when the party is demonstrated outside the party, so the ruling party's whip will rank third and sometimes fourth.
The people on the rostrum just looked at Du Lin curiously and didn't say anything. Their status was very different from those below. Others could talk about the reason why Du Lin appeared here at will, but they couldn't.
Because every word of a person of their level has certain effect, legal effect, political effect and other powers to some extent.
Every word must be carefully considered before it can be said in a fair situation, which will make them not speak easily before they understand the essence of things.
The quiet conference hall is much more comfortable than the New Party. The New Party’s ladder conference rooms are all “ordinary” tables and chairs, but here are all luxurious leather sofas, and some waiters are providing wine, drinks and snacks!
They didn't feel like they were having a meeting here, but chatted and had dinner here.
A few minutes later, time moved towards the same time, and Kubar patted the microphone and the audience became quiet.
Kubar had a high status within the old party and was very respected because he defeated Magus and became the second imperial prime minister after Magus. Therefore, people respected him and believed that he was the key to the old party's defeat of the new party.
"Durin, I think we all know him. If someone doesn't know him, then you must have spent your time watching TV on studying..." As soon as Kubar spoke, he used the cold humor unique to the nobles to resolve the small conflict between Dulin and the members of the old party organization before.
He waited for everyone to smile for a while before continuing, "Actually, Mr. Dulin was allowed to attend our meeting this time. He convinced me in my office, but I think this is not enough. If he wants to get what he wants, then he should convince you here, not let me convince you!"
Most people quickly get into their roles, and they have tasted something special from what Kubar said.
This is also the reason why Kubar decided to let Dulin convince these people. He can indeed convince these people, but these people may not be convinced all the time. This is the gap between ordinary people and nobles.
Politicians from ordinary people have a sense of political "moral shame". These people have a spontaneous centripetal force and persistence towards the careers they engage in and the parties they devote themselves to. If there is no major change, they will rarely change their positions easily, and follow the instructions of their superiors, and work hard to fulfill their responsibilities.
But the nobles are different. From the day when he was sensible, the education he received made him understand a truth. The reason why he can enjoy the material wealth and political status that others cannot strive for for more than ten lives today is not that he will meet some amazing friends in the future and join a certain amazing party.
All of this was given to him by the family, and it was the wealth left by countless ancestors and many generations of generations. Without a family, there would be no these, without a family, there would be no them!
Therefore, in the minds of the nobles, the interests of the family are always higher than personal interests and non-family organizational interests.
Kubar can convince them, but they will also change, especially the initiator of the whole thing is not Kubar, but Dulin. They will not even feel ashamed when they change their positions.
Rather than letting Kubar say it, it is better to let Dulin say it because Dulin's broken mouth is eloquent and Kubar feels that he can be persuaded, and then others are more likely to be convinced, truly convinced.
The two looked at each other, and Kubar continued, "I promised Mr. Dulin and gave him ten minutes to explain some situations and then request something. As for whether he can succeed, it will be left to you to decide." He said, looking at the staff member, "Prepare a microphone for Mr. Dulin."
More than ten seconds later, a microphone fell into Dulin's hand. Kubar asked someone to make a small bell and put it on the table on the rostrum, and nodded, "Ten minutes, Mr. Dulin, you can start."
Du Lin looked at the old party backbones around him who were like the nobles in the play, and couldn't help but lower his head and laugh out loud.
Sometimes people are so mean. Even if they know that Dulin's smile wants to attract their attention, the explanation behind this smile will definitely be unpleasant, and they are still successfully seduced by curiosity.
"Mr. Du Lin, please disturb me. Are you going to laugh for ten minutes?" Some of the old party members who attended the conference shouted, their tone filled with dissatisfaction.
Dulin shrugged, and he looked in the direction where the voice came, "Can I know what the gentleman said just now?"
One of them raised his hand, which was also a nuance between the nobles and ordinary people. At least the nobles would not refuse to admit it in a stern manner. That would be too shameless and lack of grace.
For the nobles, decency and demeanor are second only to family interests. In some families, decency and demeanor are even more important than family interests, especially those families that were once glorious but have now declined, they regard face as more than their own lives.
Someone raised his hand, and Dulin was not surprised. He smiled and nodded, "I will explain that I just laughed because I thought that four years later, you will never be able to sit here calmly again, keep your appearance like a nobleman. You will throw things, curse people, and do something that is ill-behaved, and I can't help but want to laugh."
"Your reserve, these demeanor, these demeanor, these high-ranking demeanor, and four years left, and in four years, you will lose them forever!"
This sentence made a little talk in the conference hall, and someone said loudly, "Mr. Dulin, if you just want to use such uncertain assumptions to intimidate us, then you may have called the wrong attention."
"Intimidate?" Du Lin looked surprised, "Do I need to intimidate you?"
"I'm just saying a fact that it's not just you, the old party, and the new party, will become a joke in four years, but it's not a joke."
Someone stood up and wanted to speak, but Dulin pointed at him and made a gesture of rejection to stop him, and he continued, "Someone would say I was exaggerating some problems, or even creating some differences, but that was just an excuse for you to admit!"
"When I walked in through the gate, you only stared at my identity as a member of the new party organization, and I knew you hadn't noticed that the changes in this world have broken through our imagination."
He pointed outside and shouted, "Just there, the Labor Party, which already has more than six million members of the organization, is still developing the organization members rapidly. They are not involved in any current political incidents, but are just focused on developing the number of members. In four years, their organization members will exceed 10 million, affecting the choice of at least one-fifth of the families in the empire in the vote."
"There is also the Imperial Party. I believe that the northern nobles do not need to explain it. You all have better channels than me to learn more inside information. The nobles who were excluded from the political circle have finally found ways to participate in politics. Ladies and gentlemen, do you still think that they will be as unthreatening as before?"
Du Lin took back his extended hand with all his strength, clenched it tightly into his fist, and waved it hard, "No, never!"
"One-fifth of the empire has become the Labour Party's votes, and another one-fifth of the Imperial Party has become supporters of the Imperial Party. However, our new and old parties are still hating each other, and some even say the idea of trampling the new Party to death completely?"
He showed a strong mockery and sarcasm on his face, "Silly!"
"After the new party is over, a large majority will join the Labor and the Imperial Party, and only a very small number will join the old party. Congratulations, ladies and gentlemen, you have given your enemies the greatest help you may have been yours, just to let them not even have the chance to fight back when they beat you!"
"After four years, the Imperial Party has already established its foundation and began to make efforts. We are still fighting in the internal struggle here. If this is not stupid, then what is stupid?"
There was a silence in the room, everyone was thinking, or shocked by the current situation.
In fact, they are not unclear about the current political situation in the empire. Those who can sit here to attend the meeting are not the kind of minions who can't beat up three things, but they choose to ignore those external threats.
This is not to say that they are stupid, so stupid that no one realizes these things, but they are too proud and numb their nerves by the victory in front of them.
The first victory in thirty years made them proud, and the great victory in various states made many of the old parties think that the new party is no longer enough evidence, so the Labor and the Imperial Party, which have been established less than two years ago, are even less than their opponents.
Even if the Labor and the Imperial Party already have some strength, they are still not opponents. They lack the foundation and people will not believe them.
But now, Dulin broke their self-deception and showed the most realistic side to them.
Indeed, at the moment, neither the Labor Party nor the Imperial Party are the opponents of the old party, but the goal of these people is not the midterm election, but four years later.
Four years, more than a thousand days, are enough to happen too many things to affect this empire, the entire society, and every citizen!
Ten million families, at least 20 million votes, can already win at least three to five states. Once several northern states are taken down by the Imperial Party, there may be no more things left in the remaining places.
The empire had more than 200 cities and towns, with only sixteen states in total. This was almost half of the ones taken away by the Labor Party and the Imperial Party. How to divide the rest?
No matter how they divide it, it means that one thing is that the new and old parties lag behind the Labor and the Imperial Party four years later.
This is just a very simple arithmetic problem because it is so simple, one plus one equals two levels.
The long silence made the atmosphere in the conference hall a little depressed, and the rostrum was also whispering to communicate the issues Du Lin mentioned.
Although many people believe that facing the current unlucky New Party, they can get more fruits of victory by taking advantage of the victory, this does not mean that they can really kill the New Party.
There are many supporters of the New Party in various places. No matter what others say, the two states, Woodland and Ambilou, are definitely the New Party's votes. Dulin and Holmes have reached the limit of the governor, and they have a very firm grasp of the two states.
Sixteen cuts two equal to fourteen. There are two states in the south in this election, firmly standing on the side of the new party. If there is no big change, it will be difficult for them to change their camps, which means that only twelve states can be divided.
The five northern states will inevitably be included in the Imperial Party’s territory. The Labor Party has taken over three or five states. What should the old party do?
They are even worse than 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, and may fall behind and be kicked out at the beginning.
This reality is indeed very unacceptable. Just five minutes ago, they were still treating this empire and society from the perspective of a historic winner, but five minutes later, they were like being cursed by Dulin, wanting to accept a future that inevitably failed?
How is this possible..., although it's really possible.
Next, Du Lin continued to use the knife of words to penetrate these old party powerhouses and bruises. More detailed data analysis made many people look panicked. Thinking of the massive activities of the Imperial Party and the proliferation of workers' clubs under his command, these people finally couldn't hold back.
Then the problem arises, how to solve it?
"Mr. Dulin, if you just want to tell us a terrible future, then we already know that the question is, is there any way we can avoid this?"
Du Lin put away his smile, took a deep breath, and replied confidently, "Of course there is, I am standing here just to solve this problem!"
