Melissa finally agrees to Ophelia's request, after all, she is only a twenty-year-old girl, and she is not mentally prepared enough to accept that she has become a mother and that she is ready to live in a cage in the future.

She was young, her life had just begun, and she was still a long way from the grave, so Ophelia easily convinced her.

She agreed, and while the child still had no memory, she gave the child to Ophelia to raise, in exchange for her complete freedom, although she was a little reluctant and unaccustomed, but the longing for a new life soon washed away these sorrows.

She stayed here that night, in a room with Ophelia, and slept in the same bed as if they had been best friends all night talking.

At seven o'clock the next morning, after exercising and taking a shower and having breakfast, Dulin looked at the two who came downstairs and said hello, and then got up to leave.

This morning's internal meeting of the New Party Committee will address things that have not been resolved in this time, such as Odega's problem, Dory's problem, and his problem.

Holmes left the imperial capital yesterday, he expressed his attitude with his actions, willing to give up the opportunity of this competition rather than let those extra-party forces with ulterior motives want to split the new party succeed, his determination and consciousness touched many people, filled the damage to his previous image, and gained a lot of praise.

Compared with Holmes, During obviously did not receive so many "benefits", and compared with Holmes, who received such commendations as "understanding the importance of unity", "having a full understanding of the development of the new party", and "knowing how to take a clear stand", Dühring did not receive much applause from the society this time.

He is more like playing the role of an unlucky guy who has no chance to compromise and is forced to compromise, he does not shine, he does not have a fever, and of course people still have a sympathetic attitude towards him as always.

This society is really too real, and those who care about compassion and compassion and even take out money to care for those who are upper-class will always come from the bottom of society.

So today, Durin's unfortunate babe is angry to attend a meeting that has been dragging on for a few days, and then launch a propaganda offensive of the new party to reverse the decline of the new party in some neutral states and some states won by the old party, which is crucial for the general election in four years' time, and cannot be delayed any longer.

Many people think that if they are not satisfied with their elected regional leader, they will decisively switch sides, but in fact this is not the case, because the moment the people elect a regional leader, they give their trust and loyalty to the lucky person who was chosen by the people.

Whether he does it well or badly, the people will endure it, even the worst.

They rarely waver, because once they change their choices and positions, it means that they did something stupid four years ago, and they are not only stupid but also blind.

They are unwilling to face such a self, so even if they hold on, they will hold on to the two terms, wait for the general election, and then use their brains full of mushy and wisdom to vote for the next candidate for regional leadership that meets their hearts.

But there is a problem, during the two terms, the people did not have many channels to obtain information and materials about other candidates, and regional leaders could not promote their political opponents when they were in office, so the midterm elections became important.

If the local population is not happy with their regional leaders, now is an opportunity to learn more about the candidates, to follow the active characters in the midterm elections over the next four years, and to develop a special kind of goodwill.

It's like a pet owner, and it may be a bit ugly, but it's accurate.

When voters decide that the current leader is unqualified and set their sights on other future candidates, there is a sense of anticipation that they have adopted a pet and that the pet is about to embark on a journey to defeat the Demon King.

Supporting a new choice candidate is like giving food, and watching your new choice emerge as a popular candidate, contributing all your strength and making the new choice win, that deep sense of engagement will make every voter feel extremely satisfied.

They will be immersed in this repeated experience, which is actually a manifestation of political entertainment, releasing the contradictions that may or may not exist between the bottom society and the ruling class - because we have new supporters, and the old ones will eventually be replaced, then naturally all the contradictions, differences and even conflicts will disappear with the change of power, and it seems so.

Knowing the right time and method would make some possible, which is why Magus chose this approach after overthrowing the feudal dynasty, because it was safe and effective.

As for why the people are not allowed to elect the Prime Minister of the Empire, that is another matter.

The New Party is almost a week behind the other parties in the midterm elections, and there are still some places where the propaganda offensive for this midterm election has not been finalized, because Odega has not yet been finally confirmed as the leader of the New Party, and the future chairman of the new party committee has not yet officially taken office.

There are many activities and speeches in the propaganda offensive that need to be attended by leaders and committee chairs, and they are like the biggest bargaining chips of the new party, and they need to constantly move places in the coming time, and naturally they must complete the "unification" of the candidates.

It is not possible to be one person one month and another person the next, which will unsettle officials and members of party organizations, as well as local voters.

At 8:45 a.m., many people came to the conference hall of the New Party office building, and basically all the members of the New Party who could walk around came back from outside, and the most eye-catching of them was the small group headed by Du Lin.

Some of these people had a long history with Doolin, and they had been either agents of Doolin, or the presidents of the Fellow Townsmen's Association, or prominent Guartes from all over the country, and some of the lowest political circles who depended on them for their livelihood.

After several years of operation and their own efforts, these people have basically gained a foothold in the local political circles, and they have all gathered together at this meeting of the New Party Committee.

On the one hand, they want to cheer for Doolin, and on the other hand, they want to send a signal, a signal that all truly strong people will release, territory and dominance.

In less than twenty minutes, a new term had begun to circulate among the people in the conference hall, and it was called the "Doolin Group".

It's a nice way to put it, and there's a not-so-nice way to say it's called the "Doolin Interest Group," which is the term used to describe Doolin's small circle.

Such a clique must exist, just like the Maggists of the past, who stood together to become the most formidable force in the new party.

Being able to intimidate people from other factions, while also increasing confidence in one's own people, is not something that everyone can do.

What Durin is doing now is what Maggs used to do, and he needs to form his own team, the Durin Gang in the new party, which is very important!

There was still some time before he left, and Durin's people were around him, and among them there were a few small people who were not Gualts, and the attitude of people towards Dulin was not very affectionate, and he was too obvious.

Just when people thought that Durin would not be able to hold up his momentum this time, Schnoder arrived.

After Bowworths left, Schnood became the most prestigious and powerful person in power outside the New Party, and some state legislators were excluded here.

It seems that the state legislators should be bigger than the mayor in terms of power structure, but this is only "seemingly" and "should", and so far there has been no populist governor figure in the new party, so Schnood has become a new banner.

Almost 60 or 70 percent of the members of the populist wing of the New Party have gone to the Labour Party, which is not only chaotic but also dangerous compared to the Labour Party, which is full of vigor and peace.

But not every populace will choose to join Labour, and about 20 percent of the populace will choose to stay and watch.

In the past, the New Party had given them such a shock that they firmly did not believe that the New Party, which could be said to be as terrible as the sun of the empire, had fallen like this, and that there was not even a chance to save it, and they did not believe it, so they stayed.

Every political choice is a gamble, and they bet that the new party will rise again.

Some of these people were following Schnoder at this time, about thirty or forty people, and Schnoder was the core of this small group, and his status at this time was rising under the support of these people, which was enough to make people look sideways.

What is even more unexpected is that he did not sit alone with the people around him to form a small circle, but walked to Durin's side.

At this time, Durin was talking to Alfonso about his next work, and the first thing Durin did after taking office was to clean up all the top echelons of the new party, and replace the important positions with his own people, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs was obviously the top priority.

He didn't notice Schnodder's arrival, but when the noise around him was quiet, he stopped speaking, turned his head sideways to look at the person standing in the middle of the walk, and then a smile appeared on his face, "You're here!"

Schnoder bowed slightly, "Yes, Mr. Dulin, I'll come and say hello to you......", and as he finished speaking, the members of the civilian faction around him also took turns to greet Dulin.

There was a suppressed excitement on the faces of these people, and the eyes that looked at Durin were also full of a certain longing.

It didn't take long for Schnoder to convince them, he just told them that he had been officially nominated by Doolin to succeed him to the position of governor of the state of Ambiluo (nomination in the state legislature, without going through the Imperial Diet and party meetings), and this sentence immediately made these people agree with Schnod's decision and follow Durin.

In the past, whether it was the Maggs era or the two years when Bowers had just come to power and still held some power, it can even be said that there has not been a single civilian governor or governor in the history of the empire.

Those aristocratic politicians always speak very nicely and are willing to share power with them, but when they really let go of the power in their hands and share it with others, those people will show their true colors.

Bowers aside, and Maggs didn't do it, it wasn't Maggs's fault, but his caution.

Whether it is just overthrowing the rule of the royal family or political reform for so many years, there are two kinds of people who have been hit the most by this empire, the first is the royal family, and the second is the bottom of society.

As for the aristocracy...... , they are still nobles!

The former has lost all the privileges of the past, while the latter has ushered in the first great victory in hundreds of years.

In such a situation, the power desires and ambitions of the plebeian suffragettes will swell rapidly as a result of this unprecedented victory in eonsia, once a state is lost to a plebeian governor.

Then this plebeian governor will soon set up a hill and quickly let the plebeian faction multiply and swell itself in the party, and when the time comes, they will even dare to play games with the top.

A state can feed at least seven or eight mayors, officials of all sizes in a dozen regional townships!

In order to avoid wasting too much time and energy in infighting, Maggs's consistent strategy is that the commoners can be the top of the party, and the ministers and even vice chairmen can do it for you, but the senior positions outside the party are not given at all!

As long as these people do not hold real power in their hands for a day, they will not be able to swell up and wrestle with the Maggists and the aristocratic faction for a day.

But now, everything is different, all has changed, and the attitude of these commoners towards Durin is very different from that towards Magus and the others.

After all, anyway, Durin is also a farmer, isn't he?

If you count it this way, Durin is also his own talent!

Sure enough, your own people will take care of your own people!

Here, the party members took turns shaking hands and talking with Dulun, as if they were on a pilgrimage, and Du Lin was surrounded in the crowd, which made the faces of the surrounding aristocratic faction and members who held power not so good-looking.

When the time pointed to 9:45, everyone who should have come came, everyone on the rostrum was also here, and the party plenary meeting officially began.

Skipping the trivial things in front of me, it was basically passed, mainly because everyone's minds were not here, and it wasn't until the end of the routine and when Dolly stood up that the main drama was really staged.

"According to the provisions of the new Party Constitution, when a Party leader is unable to perform his duties due to force majeure factors such as illness, a general meeting of all members of the organization may be held to elect a suitable person to temporarily replace the Party leader in the performance of the duties of the leader. ”

The entire conference hall was silent, Dolly looked around, and continued, "At present, the situation we are facing has met the implementation standards of this charter, and after the discussion and discussion of the three chairmen and vice-chairmen of the new party committee, it has been unanimously approved by the vote of all members of this meeting to elect the candidate who will temporarily act as the leader to perform his duties, if there is any objection, please raise it now......"

Only a fool will speak at this time, this is not to offend one person, but to offend a large group of people, a large group of people of high and powerful positions!

Dolly nodded noncommittally, "If there is no objection, then we will proceed to this vote, according to the procedure, anyone can put forward a candidate, and two-thirds of the participants can vote to become a candidate for acting leader." ”

"I'll cut a line, I nominate Mr. Odega, and now I invite everyone to vote!", in fact, only Dolly can say this kind of thing, after all, on the rostrum, she is the only one who is a woman.

A few seconds later, arms held high in the conference hall.
