Chapter 1312: The Choice of the Times
His Excellency looked at Durin, at the somewhat over-the-top face of this young man, as if he had traveled through a tunnel of time, the same young face that he had seen in the stables of the Timamont family in the dim light that night more than forty years ago.
"People don't respect silent people, they just see silence as a sign of cowardice, and if you want people to look you in the eye and get them to listen patiently to what you have to say, you have to make them understand one thing – you need and deserve to be respected!"
Surrounded by most of the young people, Maggs was very confident, and people looked at him with a hint of adoration in their eyes.
"This time, we're playing a big ......"
In a trance, His Excellency the President came back to his senses, and people will always inadvertently recall the past after reaching a certain age, because the past is their most precious treasure and the most profound thing in their memory.
He looked at Durin's eyes softened slightly, and was about to say something when there was a knock on the door.
With his permission, the butler stood outside the door and asked if he needed to change a pot of tea for them.
In fact, the butler did not really want to change the tea for them, but only reminded His Excellency the chairman in this innocuous way that the time he had set had come.
Before opening the door for Durin, His Excellency had already instructed the butler to inform himself in thirty-five minutes, for he had no intention of talking too much with Doolin at that time.
It is said that Dührin is the political successor of Magus and the marriage partner of the Timamont family, and he can represent Magus on some issues, but for a person of the same age and status as Mags, such as His Excellency, Dührin still does not have enough weight.
He is still far from being able to prove his worth politically, and no matter how good he has done in the past, the political positive effects of these good things have not affected these people, and they and Durin are not a group of people in the political arena.
And these people have long been successful and in high positions, and the results that Duhrin can do are very ordinary for them, and there will always be someone who can do that kind of Doolin, even if they can't do it, the difference will not be too big.
This means that it is more difficult for Durin to gain the approval of these people than he thinks, and coupled with the influence of various human factors, not everyone wants to be able to prove his worth in this circle urgently.
So he had only planned to give Durin thirty-five minutes of his time, and then he would carefully consider the plan proposed by both Homs and Durin, and finally find a more feasible one, delete the problematic part, and then use it in the current situation.
But what he didn't expect was that it only took Durin thirty-five minutes to convince him and persuade him to choose Durin's plan, which was almost impossible, and he did it.
With a confident face that is only calm about the future, without the slightest fear and fear, and a hint of eager to try, he is an arrogant, bold boy, but also exudes a convincing temperament and attitude.
His Excellency shook his head, "No, go and inform our cook, we need to add two more people in the evening, and let Thuris come back for dinner in the evening......"
After he had finished his order, the butler glanced at Durin with some surprise as he turned around, and then began to complete His Excellency's command.
Thuris is the grandson of His Excellency the Chairman, the first in line to the family, the eldest son of the youngest son of the Chairman, and has entered the political arena as a councillor in a small city next to the city of Otis, and has not yet had a great name.
Everyone in the family actually knew that Thuris would inevitably become the third generation of the family to carry the family banner, becoming a councillor before the age of thirty, and most likely becoming mayor at the age of thirty-six, and then striving to become governor at the age of forty-four.
Even if he could not become governor, with the status and prestige of His Excellency the President in the new party, even if he had retired or even gone to meet God at that time, it would not be a problem at all for him to be a high-ranking member of the party.
After serving a term or two in the party, it is not impossible to choose to jump out and find a place to become governor, or continue to climb the ladder, and the new party presidium is not impossible.
His Excellency himself valued this grandson, and now he called Thuris back for dinner, and asked for two more servings, and did not ask Dhurin to leave, no doubt he wanted to keep Dhurin for dinner, and introduce Thuris to Dolin to Dolin.
The steward has served His Excellency the Chairman all his life, and his father has served His Excellency the Chairman all his life, and he has become a member of the family.
Sometimes they look at the situation from a different perspective and in a different way than the people in power like Your Excellency, and he thinks that Dührin is actually very good, capable, and tough, like Maggs in his youth.
This is a good thing, at least even if Durin can't do Maggs to the same extent, it will make the future of the family less uncertain.
After the butler left, His Excellency the Chairman smiled and invited, "Stay and have dinner together, my chef cooks the leg of lamb that even Magus often mentions, you should try it, this is the most delicious way to make it in the Empire, and only I can eat it in the entire Empire!"
He was a little proud, because of the skill of a cook, and of course it was true, in the past, Magus would sometimes take the initiative to come over for dinner, because the skill of the chef added by His Excellency the Chairman was unique to the Empire.
Important members of aristocratic families, such as housekeepers, gardeners, and cooks, were often domestic servants, the kind that had served a noble family for generations, and even in modern times, these people still served noble families.
It's just that the current society is a little different from before, and in fact, this system of existence is also undergoing the influence of the new era culture, and many young people are unwilling to serve the big family, and they can't understand the ideas of their ancestors, so that some families have begun to hire chefs and florists.
This is especially evident in the South, where arguably the last of the feudal nobility of the empire to be feudalized, have a shallower background, are less attractive to the servants in the family, and it is difficult to retain good people.
On the contrary, the situation was much better in the northern part of the empire, where people were still accustomed to referring to the nobles of the past as noble lords, and the environment did not change much.
Nowadays, a large number of owners of companies, enterprises or workshops under the banner of "serving the aristocracy for generations" are often founded by these young people who have left the aristocratic family due to the impact of the new era society.
In this way, they quickly took money out of the pockets of the middle class, and succeeded in driving other people who were waiting to leave the aristocracy and start their own businesses.
So everyone knows very well that the further they go, the thinner the composition of a noble family will be, but also the purer it will be.
After showing off his skills as a chef, the Chairman continued, "I'm very interested in your plan, but there's also a small problem, how do you plan to bring Bowworth down and warn everyone without causing a new storm?"
Bowers's status is very special, as the leader of the New Party, even if he is now broken and broken, he does not want to make progress, and mingles with those businessmen all day long, he is also the leader of the New Party.
He represents the face of the New Party in society, a certain embodiment of the values of the New Party, and if something goes wrong with him, it is easy for people to associate what happened to him with the current situation of the New Party.
The Imperialist Party will never let go of such an opportunity, they will trumpet a small problem into a big problem affecting the Empire, and if the new Party fails to hold out, it is very likely to face an even more troublesome situation.
He was curious about Doolin's approach, and Bowers probably wouldn't have agreed so happily to relinquish his power, even if it wasn't always effective.
Turin smiled a little reservedly, and instead of answering the question immediately, he asked a new question, "We can talk about this later, Your Excellency, do you have any thoughts on Dolly's idea?"
His Excellency frowned and recalled for a while before asking, "You mean that I am the leader of the new party?"
Durin nodded, took out Bowworth and pushed the more authoritative and high-status chairman to become the leader, as Dolly, who connected all the key points, would naturally be pushed to the position of chairman of the committee and become the second in command in the party.
When she becomes chairman, she will vacate the position of vice-chairman, which is what Doolin needs.
Once he becomes vice chairman of the New Party Committee, he has a good chance of coming out on top in the election six years to become the youngest prime minister in the empire.
As long as he sits in that position, this empire, this world, will be placed in the palm of his hand.
But then again, the first step is to vacate a place, and if you can't go down the first step, you don't have to think about it later.
After thinking for a moment, His Excellency the Chairman teased with a smirk, "It's very attractive, but don't you think that Bowers is better in that position than I am in that position?"
Since he had decided to introduce his grandson to Doolin, His Excellency did not mind saying more, his meaning was actually quite simple.
It is now known to everyone that the conflict between Bowers and Durin always ends with Bowers backing down, and that this idiot is almost on the verge of giving up his work in the party, and spends his days only thinking about his own gains.
Such a person may be worthless in his work, but for Durin he is more controllable, he is a puppet himself, he doesn't care who is behind the line, he only thinks about putting things in his pocket.
Putting such a waste in the position of the leader of the new party, and then knocking out His Excellency the Chairman as a target, pushing Dolly to the stage, and Dühring taking advantage of the situation into the presidium, seems to have more advantages and more reliable maneuvers than choosing to remove Bowers and push His Excellency the Chairman to power.
Durin laughed twice, then took out another cigarette, pinched the mouthpiece behind his back, and pressed the mouthpiece over the platinum case to compact the tobacco.
He took out a cigarette, took out a lighter, lit the cigarette butt, took a puff, and spit it out, "Because the New Party is not my springboard, it will be my career." ”
The expression on His Excellency Chairman's face instantly froze, became a little solemn, a little solemn, and he looked at Du Lin as if he wanted to see through the true face of this young man behind the mask of hypocrisy.
About half a minute or so, I don't know if he saw through it, he nodded slightly, "Well said, career, I like this word very much." ”
"Maggs used this word more than forty years ago to deceive many of us into doing some stupid things with him, and now a young man is going to use this word to trick me into making some important decisions, you ......", he looked at Durin with some surprise, "It's not going to be colluding, is it?"
After a few seconds of calm, both of them laughed, it was obviously just a small joke, His Excellency touched his chin and smiled, "It's really interesting to talk to you, it makes me feel very relaxed." ”
"Because I'm honest and never hide what I really think, even though they often say it's shameless......"
His self-deprecation made His Excellency laugh louder, and the laughter gradually subsided, and he nodded his head several times, and finally patted the arm of the chair, "Why not? We were able to create miracles before, and I believe we can do miracles now!"
The two of them immediately began to discuss the rest of the matter, and His Excellency the Chairman's preference for Durin was not a momentary decision, and he was very disappointed that Mags had only improved slightly for so long.
In fact, he also sees some problems in the party, but it is difficult for him to do it now, because no matter where he starts, it is not suitable.
Hands-on with those who have already found their next home and are about to leave?
Soon people will start to circulate gossip about the tyranny of the New Party, the lack of a soil for the survival of the common people, which has prompted some members of the common party to leave the new party.
Politics has never been clean, and it will never be clean, and as long as he does, the Imperialists, and even the Labour Party, will launch a campaign against the new party, and the last thing they want is for a new leader who can continue to serve for decades.
Until such people appear, the best thing to do is to strangle the new party in the process of revival.
If you take action against the middle and high-level, now the party is already panicked, and Dolly constantly interviews the middle and high-level, so that the turbulent situation is only maintained between the bottom and the middle and lower levels, as well as some middle and a small number of high-level people.
Instead of taking action against the hardest-hit areas, the New Party Committee will take action against those who have not yet made a choice, which will also exacerbate the speed of division among these people.
So it can't be beaten, it can't be fought if it doesn't work, it's not that His Excellency the Chairman doesn't do things, but he has to take care of these things in addition to watching Bowers, and he is too old to go down alone.
He is not Mags, he has the most suitable solution when he pat his head when he encounters a problem, he is just an ordinary person who has the limit of what he can see, so he also has to choose.
