Chapter 1315: Misstepping

Over the weekend, bidding farewell to the vigorous Western Battle Royale individual and team competitions in Ambiluo, Durin arrived in the imperial capital before August.

After August, the "Golden March" will begin, and there will be discussions around the country about building momentum for the midterm elections.

For a long time, midterm elections were far more symbolic than practical, and even if some officials were ridiculously stupid during their tenure, the citizens of the empire were very tolerant and would give these fools a chance to change.

Moreover, everyone abides by a tacit and unspoken tacit agreement, which is to try not to launch a large-scale, long-lasting election campaign, which is not a general election, and it is of little significance to launch a frontal war.

Of course, that being said, there is still work to be done, and in September, the midterm elections will start to be built, and posters of various candidates will be plastered all over the streets where they are allowed and not allowed to be pasted.

In fact, it is also preparing for a general election in four years' time, and the candidates hope to ensure that they are not forgotten by the public through a propaganda offensive in the midterm elections.

Those in power who have won the election have continued their influence through various propaganda methods.

Those candidates will also appear in the streets and alleys in various propaganda vehicles or even on foot, initiating impassioned and generous speeches, or chatting cordially with the people.

September and the end of the year will be a very interesting time for the public, as they can see many "scandals" in politics and receive many benefits as a result, such as fried chicken and fruit wine.

Labour is far more active than the other three parties, and it is said that some people have written to the Labour headquarters that the Labour logo should be replaced by fried chicken and cider, and that they give out large quantities of fried chicken and cider free of charge at each event to attract workers.

Some people think that this move of the Labour Party is tantamount to grandstanding, trying to use small favors to buy off the working class, but it has to be said that this trick is very useful, many people just want to get these fried chicken and fruit wine for free to join the Labour Party, and participate in all the activities and campaigns one by one, to ensure that they eat a lot of fried chicken every month, and not a drop of fruit wine left.

The capitalists, who were once hated by the trade unions and the working class, finally appeared in a positive light in the eyes of the Labour Party, who generously solved the problem of funding the Labour movement in various parts of the country, and did not have much demand.

Naturally, these Labour Party members, who have taken advantage, will also begin to maintain the image of these capitalists, which is a win-win.

This year's Golden March will not be much different from the previous Golden March, but there will be some changes in some aspects, because this year there are more Labour and Imperial parties.

So far, the Labour Party has not had a clear political programme other than its claim to make genuine workers the spokesmen of the interests of the working class, more like a toss with no clear purpose, but no one will underestimate them.

In this way, the number of registered members of the Labour Party has led the other three parties in the counts of late June and early July, far exceeding the number of registered members of the New Party, the Old Party and the Imperialist Party, and even the largest number of parties in the whole world.

The number of participants has gone up, and even if they don't show any aggressiveness, people won't take them lightly.

And the other difference is the imperial party.

After more than half a year of integration and construction, the Baath Party has completed all the work of building the party and established the Baath Party, which is also known as the imperial party.

The Grand Prince is currently the leader of the Ba'ath Party, and a middle-aged man who is not very well-known in society has become the chairman of the Baath Party committee, and according to Kubal, this guy is the next head of the Knights of the Rose.

In addition to this, all the branches and leaves have been completed, and the Baath Party is officially "online", this time they have played the slogan of actively running in the four northern cities, and judging from some of the information that Duhrin has obtained so far, there is little resistance.

This could involve more and deeper insider dealings, and in the last meeting Kubal told Dohrin that the Grand Prince seemed to have reached some kind of agreement with some of the nobles in the north, and that the Grand Prince would gain de facto control of some of the city.

Once the Baath Party is able to take control of certain cities, it means that the Baath Party will really squeeze into the political arena of the empire.

They had no seats in the Reichstag and their power was not recognized until they were given real rights, but when some of them became councillors, mayors, or even governors, it was a sign that the Baath Party was beginning to enter the real political arena.

They are not as strong as Labour, but they are ahead of Labour.

While the two new parties are staring at each other, directly or covertly expressing their desire for imperial power, the two old parties are somewhat dull and lacking in vitality.

After three and a half years in power, Kubar's ability to govern has basically been accepted by the people of the empire, and the international financial and trade organizations he promoted alone are enough to make him re-elected.

In addition to this, he has accomplished many remarkable political goals, such as bringing the Navy back under the purview of the Department of Defense, and his approval rating in the polls is slightly lower than in the previous election strategy, at about 68 percent.

For example, there is a general decline in the perception of the old party at the bottom of society, and the old party is far less important than the new party in dealing with ordinary people and the bottom of society.

They put more effort into catering to the middle class and the upper class of society, creating an invisible class, a privileged class for these people, and this is the main problem they are criticized.

As for the new party...... Don't mention it.

Last year, after the threat of Doolin, the problems in the party were slightly better, but only slightly better, and some people did not stop because of Doolin's threat, they just did not contact more people to leave together.

Coupled with the appeal of the Labour Party to the plebeian faction, and the appeal of the Imperialist Party to a section of the aristocracy, Maggs's "unconscious" and the inaction of the party's top brass will indeed disappoint many people.

After some of the people left, the situation was somewhat more stable, but it was clear that the new party was less energetic than the Labour and Imperialist parties, which were eager to appear in front of people every day.

If nothing changes in this situation, another group of people will definitely choose to leave before the general election.

And at this time, it is also the time when Durin can go further, two years ago, even if it was a year ago, if he wanted to take a step, there would be many people who objected.

His age has always been his fatal flaw, and if he had been ten or twenty years older, there would have been no one in the new party who would have been able to stand in his way.

But he was so young, so young that he was about to rise to the top five political leaders in the party before he finished serving as governor, and those people would not admit it even if they didn't say it in their mouths, and they would not admit it in their hearts, all because of Durin's own ability.

They will think of Durin as a thief who has stolen the fruits of someone else's victory, or a jester who has been lucky enough to marry the daughter of the Timamont family, and there are many things that can be compromised on the matter of power, but not so much.

So he had to be patient for one governor and then launch this plan, and he had to be patient in the West until today.

Three years and eight months as governor has made Durin infinitely close to thirty years old, he was only a teenager when he first left home, and now twelve years have passed in the blink of an eye.

In fact, from the beginning to the present, he has also used a lot of time and energy, and he has not paid nothing, and he has paid much more than others.

But people can't see that, because he is not yet thirty years old.

Bowers's expression obviously changed a little when he saw Doolin, he didn't expect Doolin to take the initiative to come to him, Doolin looked a little more mature than before, but Bowers looked younger than before.

People are really strange things, after losing their psychological baggage, they are in a good mood all day long to make money and reap benefits, Bowers's wrinkled face looks a little shriveled, and it actually becomes fuller, a lot brighter, and it looks fatter.

Durin strode into Boworths' office, and His Excellency Leader's secretary stood outside the door, helpless and uneasy, that she had failed to fulfill her duties as a secret artist.

Bowers waved his hand a little irritably, and then looked at Durin, who had walked to the opposite side of him and sat down directly, without any politeness, and frowned, "I have to participate in an event later, and we can try to solve the problem briefly." ”

He didn't like Doolin, he didn't like Doolin as much as he did before, and even hated Doolin.

Everyone was born in a poor family, why are their fates completely different?

He fought all his life, whether it was prestige or losing face, and in the end, he mixed up with a new party leader who didn't have much actual power, and a hairy boy like Dulin was destined to become the prime minister of the empire in the future?

Decades of struggle are not as good as the good fortune of a young man, and this kind of thing is difficult to accept on anyone, and even more difficult to accept is that he was once only one step away from Durin's "good fortune".

He even touched those things, as long as the woman agreed to marry him, then the future that Durin could have in the future was his present.

But he still lost that opportunity, lost forever, so that he didn't have much confidence when facing this young man now.

Durin nodded, "That's what I want to say, we lack a basis for chatting, so it's still a good ...... to do business", this sentence made Bowers breathe a little relieved, and it sounded like Durin didn't seem to be here to make trouble.

He has only been doing his own thing for more than a year, and he has not offended Durin at all, and even he is deliberately avoiding this mad dog.

Thinking of this, he had a not-so-good-looking smile on his face, and said generously: "If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know!"

Durin nodded, crossed his legs, and said with a smile, "Then please retire from illness......

Illness retired...... , this word is a new word, it only appeared in the thesaurus last year, and the whole process should be a short sentence - unable to continue working due to illness, early retirement.

The reason why Durin wanted to let Bowers go out of his illness and not for any other reason was because the illness seemed simpler than some irresistible factor, and it didn't seem like it was full of intrigue.

If you retire for some inconvenient reason, you will inevitably wonder if there is something shady in it.

But you can't get sick, because everyone gets sick, it's an irresistible law of nature.

It was just a simple sentence, but it made Boworths's face change several times, he naturally understood what Durin said, and his eyes became a little dangerous, "What do you mean...... Let me retire early?"

Durin shrugged his shoulders, "If you understand it that way, there's nothing wrong with that, that's what I mean." ”

Bowers laughed angrily, "Do you think I'll agree to your excessive request?"

Durin pouted, "Then let's change the requirements slightly, and if you retire now, I can choose to treat what you have done in the past as if you didn't see it." ”

Bowworthton frowned, and his tone became a little angry, "You're threatening me?"

"Threat?", Durin laughed twice, "No, I'm just giving you a choice, it's up to you to choose or not, I personally suggest that you'd better do what I say." ”

Bowers took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and pointed to the door, "Get out, immediately!"

If the previous conflict between Doolin and him could be seen as a provocation by Doolin against him, then the demands that Dohrin made to him now are an insult to him.

Maggs had been teasing him for many years, and when it came time for his successor, Doolin, to humiliate him, Bowers was so emotional that he pointed in the direction of the gate and roared loudly, "Get out!"

Durin's expression grew cold, he stood up, looked at Bowers condescendingly, and his tone became light, "You rejected my kind ......", he paused here when he said this, and then smiled, as if it was just a joke for Bowers to let him go, "May God bless you!"

Watching Durin leave, Bowworth's undulating chest gradually improved, and the inexplicable insult made Bowers feel uneasy, and he took a few steps back and forth, thinking about what Durin was doing this for.

After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't understand why Durin suddenly came to humiliate himself, was it just to have fun?

He looked at his watch, it was almost time for the event, he cleaned up and walked out of the office, walking quickly towards the stairs.

As the leader of the New Party, Bowers' office was naturally on the highest floor of the building, an old building with no elevators, but fortunately it was only five stories high.

There is a folding staircase that leads to the first floor, and walking on this staircase can overlook the entire office lobby, which is also one of the privileges of the leader.

At the moment when he raised his foot, Bowworth's face changed wildly, and he felt that someone was pushing him heavily behind his back, right at the door of his office, in the new party's lair!
