Mr. Merck was very kind in introducing Lin Yilong to his "friends" at the Farmers' Club.

The so-called "friends" is a joking statement, which is the same logic as the parishioners call each other "brothers and sisters": since they are already members of the same club, they should be considered as "friends" in the whole club.

The members of the Gentlemen's Club, especially the Gentlemen's Club, which are social in the social category, cover almost the entire upper class of Britain. As long as you reach a certain level, even if you are not one of them, your colleagues or relatives around you will pull you into this group. An industry or group cannot be organized without members in such a "purely social" organization, and these social clubs are the most influential group in Westminster.

This is the case in England, and the gentlemen's clubs in the big cities on the other side of the pond and in a certain kangaroo-infested continent are also modeled after the clubs in England, which are more formal and stable than the French or German groups that use private residences as social venues.

Therefore, it is actually extremely common for three generations of the family of a certain president on the other side of the pond to be "family members" of a certain social club.

"Mr. Hovey, Mr. Fiske, this is Mr. Yilang Lim, who we have just joined our club. Although Mr. Merck and Lin Yilong had only met more than the two gentlemen in front of Lin Yilong, he still introduced Lin Yilong to his partner with a slightly familiar attitude.

"Folenc-Hovey. A burly man with nearly two meters tall and a round amber eyes and a full beard introduced himself while shaking hands vigorously with Lin Yilong.

"Fred Fisk. Another relatively thin man with beautiful gray eyes and yellow-brown hair also shook Lin Yilong's hand gently.

"Mr Hovey runs a farm in Kildare, also in North Yorkshire, and Mr. Fisk runs a forest near Aberdeen. Mr. Merck introduced, "I think the two of you already knew that Mr. Lin ran a forest farm in Wales at the time of Mr. Lin's welcome party. ”

After the ceremony, the four people sat down around a tea table.

"Forgive my presumptuousness, it's hard to see some Asian faces at the club. "I'm curious, why are South Asians generally for the Labour Cooperative and East Asians generally for the Tories when they are all Asians?"

"Quite simply, because most South Asians come here for better employment and social welfare, and only a ruling coalition that supports further immigration and fairness in results can achieve this. This question is a bit rude, but Lin Yilong still answered stubbornly, "And we East Asians care more about the fairness of the process, as for the happy life is only achieved by our own struggle, so we hope to reduce external competition and internal shackles, of course, we support the Tory Party." ”

"What about yourself, Mr. Lin?" Fisk asked, "what is your position?"

"I don't have a position yet. "I have to evaluate the pros and cons of these policies before I can make a choice, and as a newcomer, even if I want to vote to make my stance, I have to wait until 2015." ”

"Fred. "You don't have to test Mr. Lin, it's time for us to support each other at the club." Mr. Lin, Scarborough [Note 1] and Zach David of Viterby will be retiring next year, and I and Dennis intend to support a candidate who shares our philosophy. ”

"It always feels like a wasted investment, but it doesn't matter for the time being. "As North York's agricultural constituency, there should be only Tories candidates." ”

"Yes. So, nominations within the Tory Party are important. "We intend to build momentum for the current Middlesbrough County Councillor, Boris Kaufney. ”

"The problem now is that a group of our friends have gotten ahead of us. Mr. Merck said in frustration, "It was our ...... first."

"It's useless to talk about that. Mr. Howe interrupted Mr. Merck's complaints.

"What can I do for you?" Lin Yilong asked.

"At the very least, I want Mr. Lin to come up with an idea for us?" said Mr. Hovey, "how can we get Mr. Kaufney back?"

"I beg your pardon, I'm a rookie in this matter, and I'm not very skilled!" Lin Yilong sipped his teacup, "From Mr. Hovey's words just now, can I confirm the information I obtained?"

"Speak. ”

"Is Mr. Kauphney a candidate who has almost been approved by the bigwigs?" asked Lin Yilong.

"Not yet, but he has the most connections within the Tories. Mr. Merck replied, "If he wanted the district, he would have taken it." ”

"In other words, might he not have chosen this place to enter the Palace of Westminster?" Lin Yilong continued to ask.

"Yes, but I don't think it's feasible because Scarborough and Viterbi are doing well. Mr. Hovey explained, "So, Dennis and I were in a hurry. ”

"You need a flexible candidate for the 21st century. Lin Yilong stretched out his hand to Mr. Fisk, "What do you think of this Mr. Fisk?"

"Why me?" said Mr. Fisk, inexplicably.

"It's not just Scarborough and Viterbi that will be in the early elections next year, but if I'm not mistaken, the Middle Middlesbrough district is going to be vacant, and it's likely to be taken by the Tories, so wouldn't it be interesting if Mr. Kaufney were going to the more familiar Middle Middlesbrough?" ”

"Wait!," said Mr. Fiske, "let's put the Middle Middlesbrough constituency aside, and if so, Mr. Merck and Mr. Hovey would seem more suitable, don't they live there?"

"Conflict of interest, on the contrary, is a disadvantage. This gives voters the impression that 'Mr. Merck or Mr. Hovey only speaks for their own interests' and certainly won't vote for either of them. "Time is limited, and if Congressman Zach Davy leaves his post next year due to health reasons, it will be a pity if you still don't get the nomination." ”

"Mr. Lin, your information is indeed reliable?" Mr. Fisk's voice was calm, but the constant shaking of his knees revealed the apprehension in his heart.

"I'm telling you all about hearsay, but you can find out for yourself who you have on your side. Lin Yilong said, "But let me say, as long as Mr. Fisk proposes it, this constituency in your hands should be the best position for the Tories to train new talents, and as long as you can get the approval of Mr. Merck and Mr. Hovey, there should be no resistance." ”
