Chapter 469: Target [2]
In the end, Harry's trip to the city of Odis did not take place, because Durin returned to Namirlinders to continue to "recuperate", he was still an injured person, and naturally he should not run around.
It is said that the first empire intended to place the capital of Philimon in Namelindes, but later considering that Naiminders is a transportation hub, it has unique advantages in terms of economy, but it is lacking in culture, so the empire arranged the capital of Philimon in Leedswah.
There is also a very unreliable theory here, it is said that the nobles of Leedshua and the eldest princess had a leg at that time, so the capital was settled in Leazward, and for this reason, the nobles of Namilyndes almost went to war with the little white-faced nobleman of Leazwaard. Of course, all this is in the past, the truth is deeply buried by history, and no one will pursue what is the truth for this matter.
Harry arrived at Namelinders from Leedwards at about ten a.m., carrying some fruit and some pastries, and then leaving the room for all the unrelated, he needed to talk to Durin alone.
"There may have been some misunderstandings between us that have affected our friendship, but Durin, you should understand that I have never harmed you, and I have tried my best to meet your requests, including the fact that you are going to establish a special zone, and I have also done a lot of work. Harry looked at Durin very sincerely, he must now speak before Durin knows the truth, in order to show his honesty, "So I don't want anything else to deepen the misunderstanding between us again, I can guarantee that I have not intended to harm you in everything I have done." β
Durin was silent for a moment, just as Harry had guessed, and Durin didn't know if what Darcy said was true. But from the moment Harry entered the room, Durin understood that Darcy wasn't lying to himself. The people who could command the top of the New Party to do the dirty work could be counted on two hands in the entire empire, and most of them were close to Maggs, who could not have done such a thing with his political ambitions.
Then there must be one of the remaining people who is in charge of this matter, at first he suspected that the person who instructed the deputy chief of police was from the Capet family, but now he knows that this person is Harry. He looked at Harry and shrugged his shoulders, and instead of immediately saying that he could understand Harry's "distress", he asked, "Why?"
"Because of stability!", Harry said and couldn't help but take out the cigarette case, and just as he was about to light it, he realized that this was the hospital room, and said sorry before leaving the cigarette in his mouth on the ground, and stepping on it twice, only to see Durin himself take out a cigarette and light it. He smiled, took out another cigarette and took a puff, "Why can't we have so many advantages and supporters hold the old party to the ground and not give them a chance to resist?"
He pointed to the sky outside the window and said, "Because of those conglomerates, because of those capitalists." The vast majority of the members of the old party were made up of nobles and people related to the aristocracy, and these people naturally had a great advantage, that is, they were rich. Coupled with their enrichment methods on their own turf, the old party has abundant allocable resources. As long as they use money, they can maintain their camp, and as long as there is a consortium, they can let the people under their rule have a decent job. β
"Consortium, capital power, is too important to us. If there aren't so many construction sites and projects going on, do you think your policies will be implemented smoothly in Otis City?", he shook his head and laughed, "No, no, if you want to get people to buy in, you have to give them what they want first." It is precisely because of the large number of capital forces that invest in Otis City, that people get real benefits, and they will support you who bring capital power. β
He turned around and spread his arms, "And everything I do is for stability." β
"The Chant Consortium, led by the Capetian family, has great prestige in the North, which is the region with the most great nobility and the most financial resources. You may be able to see from the financial statements that the South is building faster than the North, but what you see is only what you can see, and there are many things that you can't see. We need the support of the northern aristocracy, and only if they support us will they not support the old party. β
"Do you know Memnon?", Durin nodded, and Harvey pointed casually, "This is a very ambitious guy, after this election, he will almost be able to take the entire territory of Anwaiming State, whether it is the new party or the old party, he will be driven away, do you know why?"
Durin groaned for a moment and asked, "Is it because of his social security opportunities?"
"Yes, that's why. This stinking businessman with the smell of horse manure was very clever enough to collude with all the local capitalists and deceived the imperial citizens of the entire state in a way that could only deceive the common people, so he took control of the entire state with an equal vote of 73 percent! This is the power of capital, and it is also the mainstream trend of the country in the future, and without the support of the consortium and the power of capital, it is very difficult to make a difference politically. β
Memnon's plan itself has a lot of problems, but this guy didn't know where to find a good think tank, and came up with an idea for him - bombardment of public opinion and set a model. Many local newspapers always report from time to time who entered the hospital because of the accident, and their lives were hanging by a thread, because they could not afford to give up their lives. At this time, the Move Forward Party paid sky-high medical bills for these people, saving their lives. Or maybe someone's child was hit by Lady Luck's spit star and was admitted to college, and the city hall provided him with all the expenses he needed to finish college.
There was a constant bombardment of the locals in public opinion, and finally it was discovered that these people were involved in Memnon's social security scheme. Under the guidance of these lucky people who are like benchmarks, people hope that this kind of security system can be completely popularized, and they can get a guarantee, an insurance, and a benefit for them by giving 5% to 7% of their income every month, and they have no reason to refuse.
Coupled with the cooperation of local capital and corporations β contributing money and efforts and bewitching his staff β Memnon emerged from the midterm elections and took control of the entire state, and he is now not only the leader of the Kadima Party, but also the soon-to-be governor. He has even publicly announced that he will run for the next prime minister, and if he can be chosen, he will make the social security system universal throughout the empire.
At this stage, with the support of capital forces and big business groups, he will be able to realize what he promised, and once he really becomes the prime minister, the idea of attracting more capital forces, or even attracting many capital forces to start wavering, this is a very dangerous thing for the new party and the old party.
Many smart people saw fatal flaws in Memnon's plans, and if what he promised could not be fulfilled, the Advance Party was destined to become a stain on the history of the Empire. But why are people still supporting him? Because Memnon is the most suitable partner for the capitalist forces, he shoulders all the responsibilities alone, and the capitalists only need to put the money of society out of people's pockets and bank accounts as much as possible into their own pockets. Coupled with his social security plan, he can make a lot of money from it.
Once something goes wrong, the capitalist forces don't need to carry the black cauldron, and there is only one person who carries the black cauldron, and that is Memnon and his Forward Party.
"In the future, governance will no longer need people, but money!", Harry said with great certainty, "Without money, even if we have very good political ideas, they will always be just ideas." β
"Maybe you'll get a call soon, but I'm here, with my sincerity and apologies, and I need to apologize to you, because Darcy arranged this matter for me, and my purpose is to ease the conflict between you and the Northern Noble Consortium. I have spoken on the phone with Mr. Capet, and he asks me to apologize to you on his behalf and to compensate you for all your losses. At the same time, I personally said something that should not have been said, this matter is not a decision made by anyone, but a private decision of the guy you kicked out of the office. β
"He's going to be punished so severely, if you wish, that you won't see him for the rest of your life. β
After going around in a big circle, Harry still turned the topic back,
"DΓΌrin, let everything in the past, good or bad, pass! We are all together, our goals and interests are the same, and we should join hands to fight our real enemy, not to create estrangement and conflict with each other. Harry looked at Durin with sincere feelings, with an apologetic expression, "I apologize for my past attitude, I hope you can accept it." β
The expression on Durin's face also softened, he smiled, and took the initiative to reach out his hand, "I don't want to see that guy again in my life, and besides, I don't accept your apology......", Harry's face suddenly appeared with a shocked expression, and Durin quickly made him understand, "We are all at fault, it's not just you, like you said, we should understand each other." β
Harry stepped forward and held out his hand to hold Durin's hand tightly, "Yes, we should understand each other!"
Harry made some more gossip that fit the mood, and told Durin to get better as soon as possible, and that the city of Otis couldn't do without him, and stated that the cost of his hospitalization would be covered by the state government, which was a lot of about the state government's apologies to him. Laughing as Harry left, the smile on Durin's face suddenly cooled, and he snorted softly and twisted his neck.
It's the first time you have suffered such a big loss, and if you want him to "understand", long live?
That's impossible!
Harry's visit also made Durin even more convinced that this guy and Maggs are definitely not of the same mind, he is just a stupid target, a target who thinks he is a gun.
The purpose and function of the target's existence is to let the bullet shoot him in the face!
