The news of Holmes' arrival in the imperial capital was not deliberately hidden from the outside world, and the value of the "surprise soldiers" in the political contest was not as great as imagined, and sometimes even played a completely opposite role.

The political environment and the battlefield environment can never be the same, and the value of a surprise soldier on the battlefield is to create information asymmetry and hide part of the information from the other side.

Naturally, the other side will not produce the effect of this part of the information in the whole war deduction, and finally take advantage of this unequal information gap to win.

Politics is different, if war is a whole computational deduction project that combines many factors and complete data, then politics is a compromise transaction between countless individuals, which happens all the time and is constantly evolving.

If Holmes hides himself, it creates a situation where he is not yet involved, and people will abandon Holmes's important hair code in the process of trading, so that he will be excluded from the scope of the transaction by these people in a series of transactions.

We all know that a person's position in society comes from the value he can produce to society, and the same is true in the political arena, if a person is not able to produce value in a thing, then he is not a "necessity", and people will bypass him.

When he plans to take out this strange army, not only will he not get people's support, but will cause people's opposition, which is why every major political event that can affect the direction of history will be actively dimmed by the two sides that ignited the flames of war from the very beginning.

They need people to be more involved, to be actively involved, and they need people's support.

So Holmes didn't even think about whether he would be discovered, he made a big show in the new party office building, and then went to visit His Excellency the chairman.

The meeting between the two was in the office of His Excellency the President.

"Is Mr. Bowers's situation optimistic?", he said nonsense, he knew before he arrived in the imperial capital that Bowers's situation was not just not optimistic, but he still asked, "This will be a heavy blow to our work in the future." ”

His Excellency the Chairman nodded, and Holmes was referring to the answers, or report cards, that the New Party would present to all segments of society in the golden March of time.

How they have done in the past four years, how far they have achieved, and what achievements they have accomplished, they can all brag about it at this time.

Some people refer to the golden March of the midterm elections as a tacit time for mass political advertising, and every official will use various ways to tout himself and suppress his enemies.

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

But in fact, the golden March is the most efficient time period for the government office in the past four years, and there is no one.

Because at this time, every politician has to show the best side to the people, and they must maintain an efficient system of government operation to ensure that they do not have problems in their own part and even bring their superiors to blame.

As for the problem of office efficiency falling after the golden March passed...... People quickly forget about these things in the midst of their busy work lives and cheap entertainment.

Yes, our people are so kind and generous, so contented and forgetful.

As the leader of the New Party, Boworth was bound to attend many important meetings and events during the Golden March, and to give at least six public speeches, but he could not do so now because it was difficult for him to recover in such a short time.

The absence of a leader of the new party will inevitably cause people to lose confidence in the new party, and now this is no longer a problem of a few people, but a problem that the entire new party needs to face.

Even if Holmes does not say it now, the matter will be brought up later in the regular meeting, and a vote will be called to elect a new leader as soon as possible to replace Bowworth to preside over the normal work of the new party.

His Excellency the Chairman clasped his fingers together and clenched them into fists on his desk, and then he nodded, "That's true, I have already communicated with the ministers, and we intend to elect a new leader to tide over the current difficulties, and as to whether Mr. Bowers needs to be allowed to preside over the work after Mr. Bowers recovers, there will be a vote later." ”

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

His Excellency the Chairman smiled implicitly, "I will respect and support the results of the Committee's vote. ”

This is also nonsense, but some exchange of information is done in the process of these two people talking nonsense together.

First, it is certain that Bowers will temporarily lose his position as leader of the New Party, after all, he will need a long time to recover before he can get back on his feet, and the New Party will not wait that long for him, and the replacement will be voted on by the committee, but it has already been decided that he will be the chairman.

Second, there is now a unity of opinion at the top of the New Party, which also means that a new chairman and a new vice chairman have also been formed, which needs to be further confirmed.

Thirdly, the result was voted on by the New Party Committee, and whether or not they chose a new vice-chairman, Holmes had ample opportunity to fight for the position, because the voting meeting required a vote of all members of the organization, and even if the top brass had already decided on Dühring, if he could get enough votes, he would still win.

Unless the Presidium and the ministers do not even want the last decency, they can do something negative about the result of the vote.

As for the fourth, Holmes also realized that the cause of all this must be related to Durin, and only then would things suddenly erupt and be pushed forward so quickly that he almost missed this opportunity.

After a few words of nonsense, Holmes walked out of the chairman's office with a reserved and confident smile similar to that of a victor, as if he had lifted his long skirt and pushed it down on the bed—that victory was a girl.

This expression makes some people who see him think about it, and sometimes people are like that, always trusting their eyes and ears more than their own intelligence.

After all, in the order of execution of intelligent creatures such as man, the order of instinct is always higher than the order of rational order.

Soon the gossip of His Excellency's intention to promote Homs began to circulate within the New Party, and it spread throughout the imperial capital and throughout the empire at an unbelievable speed.

Even workers who are engaged in some kind of primitive and intense, highly repetitive manual work are very unhappy to be interrupted by the continuous ringing of the telephone, and panting to pick up the receiver to get the news from the mouths of some insiders.

"This is only the first ......", in the villa of the imperial capital, Holmes and his men who were gradually coming together, began to assign the tasks to be given to them, "This news is not only to be circulated in the new party, I want you to spread it, so that more people know about this news and think that it is true." ”

The power of rumors is terrifying, and when everyone thinks that a cousin sells her body and dignity to save her family that is about to break up, people will think of her as a saint, even though she can change to a dignified and decent job to support her family, even though her family only seems to be more troublesome.

Rumors drive public opinion, and the direction of public opinion is often the direction of "truth", and many people who are not qualified and have no way to know more about the true content of something will blindly take the content obtained from other places and obviously have a tendency as a real factor to refer to, and finally come to a plausible conclusion.

Then these people will position this conclusion as the truth they know, and use the truth with double stupidity standards such as "I know the truth" and "I know the truth is what you don't know" to devote themselves to this society and social activities at a deeper level.

These people are basically taken advantage of, and in some media and newspapers, the "angry people" and "deceived people" described by the writers are often referring to these people.

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

Every year, some celebrities and celebrities fall into such stupid public opinion, and no one will explain everything behind it, which is not in the interests of these behind-the-scenes people, and at the same time, the fools who think they have the real "truth" will not listen to the truth.

So battles in public opinion are often the first battlefield of political struggle, and Holmes knew this very well, and he immediately launched an offensive, regardless of whether the person on the other side was Durin or someone else.

"Second, I have heard that Bowers' secretary witnessed him fall down the stairs, and I have some confusion about how this tragedy happened, so you can help me to bring the lady safely and not to frighten her. ”

"Thirdly, I believe that we have collected a lot of material about Durin in the past year, and now I need you to sort it out and find out what is valuable to us and can be used, including some of the previous materials. ”

He paused for a moment when he said this, frowned and hesitated for a moment, "Fourth, arrange for someone to keep an eye on Durin, it's better not to let him find out, I need to know who he sees every day from now on, it would be better if I could know what he said......"

Holmes's style of doing things has an "industrial style" that he himself is not aware of, everything is clearly listed and then handed over to a dedicated person to take care of, although this may also be a habit he has developed over the years in Woodland.

As he thought, no matter what, Durin would be his worst enemy and stumbling block, and he would not be able to stand for the others.

The news of Holmes' arrival in the imperial capital soon reached Durin's ears, along with the news that he had obtained the support of His Excellency the Chairman, and before he had met Holmes, Holmes aimed the finger at him very accurately.

This made Durin feel a little curious, what could be it that made Holmes think he would be his opponent so accurately?

But since Holmes made a move, Durin would make a move too, but not now.

The collision between the hunter and the prey is often the hunter's victory, not that the hunter's physical fitness exceeds the prey, but that the hunter will think, and he will arrange corresponding measures according to the prey's actions, and completely defeat the prey!

His main job now was to talk to Kubal, which sounded silly, because Kubal couldn't interfere with the work of the New Party committee.

But let's not forget that Kubal is not only the leader of the old party, the current prime minister of the cabinet, but also the closest friend of Maggs, and at the same time one of the representatives of the great nobility of the empire.

At present, the largest number of new members are members of the aristocratic faction, and it is difficult to get these people to vote for themselves in the vote, but convincing Kubar is simple.

As long as Kubal can support himself, not only will he be able to get the position of vice chairman a lot more, but he will also have a good chance of winning in the next general election - according to the constitution and laws of the Reich, the power to vote is free, in other words, people from the old party can also vote for the candidates of the new party, in the Reichstag!

That's right, the person who pulls the old party becomes his biggest help, not only to defeat Holmes, but also to have a chance to defeat the imperial party that came to the time in the general election, and the Labour Party that currently has the largest number of party members!

In contrast to Holmes, Dühring believes that the Labour and Imperial Party are his real opponents, and that if he loses too many seats in the Reichstag, although this is a foregone conclusion, he will most likely lose the election in four years' time, unless the people who unite the old party can establish it.

Even in the deepest part of Durin's heart, 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 contradiction between the two sides, this is entirely possible, and after the two-in-one, the leadership and core members of the political party will still be held by the aristocracy, and there will not be much difference between the new party and the old party.

Everyone is working hard for the upcoming Golden March or keeping an eye on what's coming, even Maggs.

In the quiet hospital room, something about Golden March was playing, and there were not many stiff muscles that could not be adjusted on his calm face.

After a year of treatment, his problem has made great progress, and although he is unable to complete all the actions according to his own will, he has been able to express some simple content in a short period of time through writing.

Looking at the high-spirited Durin and Holmes on the background board of the chat show, as well as his old friend Count Odegar, Maggs's eyes were a little strange.
