There was a whispered discussion in the conference room, and Powell fired directly at Duhrin behind the finger pointing the finger at Maggs, without the unanimous affirmation and trust of Maggs and Harry, Doolin would not have been able to become the mayor of Otis at a young age. He was only twenty-one years old, and almost all of the people in this room were twenty-one years old, just in the early stages of their lives—the nobles had just completed their rite of passage for a year, and had not yet been assigned family tasks and resources, and the politicians of commoner origin were still studying and about to set foot in society.

Even if someone is willing to give them a chance, it is impossible to become the mayor of a city in one go, and the position of mayor needs to have enough experience and experience, and it is definitely not something that can be undertaken at the age of twenty-one.

But Doolin did, he was already a mayor at the age of twenty, and whatever Hoshton's purpose in nominating Doolin was, in short, under Harry's arrangement, Doolin became the mayor of Otis City.

Harry is a member of the New Party from Mags, and without Maggs's nod, it would be difficult for Harry to arrange Durin to be the mayor of Otis City.

Yes, according to the current political system of the empire, the state capitals have a considerable degree of autonomy, and the appointment of a mayor does not require the nod of the cabinet or the vote of the party meeting, but this is too strange. Some people even began to speculate that it was their plan to throw Durin in the dilapidated part of Otis City in the first place, and then secretly tilted and planned the subsequent development route for During, so that Otis City has developed at an astonishing speed to what it is today.

A young sun rises in the heart of the Empire, and Durin has gained great prestige, even more so when he was assassinated some time ago. He has become a representative figure of the "minority official", which is also his most powerful protective shield. If someone takes the initiative to deal with him, first of all, he will have to bear the infamy of racial discrimination against minorities, so that those who are satisfied with Duhrin will not speak up, and those who are dissatisfied with him will not speak up, and no one wants to be the focus of public opinion, or the worst.

Maggs's smile on Powell's face gradually retracted, and he lowered his head slightly in contemplation, he had not yet spoken, and Harry, who was sitting in the nineteenth seat, spoke first.

"Mr. Powell, it is the power that God has given to each of us to make mistakes, and every one of us makes mistakes, and I believe that every one of us here has made mistakes. No matter how big or small the mistakes are, as long as we actively correct them to make up for the losses caused by the mistakes, we will turn the mistakes into experience and experience, which is also the most valuable wealth on our life path. And like you said, Durin is still young, and this is his power and his gain. ”

Harry's sudden voice made other people's eyes focus on Harry, as Durin's top boss Harry actually performed very well, in terms of political literacy alone, Harry can be said to be among the best. Not only did he have a good relationship with most of the party members, but he also had considerable friendships with the old party, capitalists, and people from all walks of life. His plan for the development of the state of Cosenas has already been very effective, and it is important to know that the state of Cosenas is one of the most "backward" states in the empire.

Because during the Great Patriotic War, the Federal Vanguard Regiment and the Victorious Regiment were surrounded in the Kosenas region, and in order to force the Federation to sit honestly on the negotiating table, the Imperial Army carried out a long and indiscriminate shelling of the Kosenas region. Several major cities were almost completely razed to the ground, littered with ruins, and the agricultural and pastoral industries were completely destroyed and left in shambles.

After the Great Patriotic War, the state of Cosenas was poor and white, not to mention the industrial base, not even the economic base at all, and in this situation, the new party carried out the first eight years of transformation of the state of Cosenas, allowing the state to restore the industrial base, during which Mayor Harry stood out from the mayors of many cities. It took him only five years to transform his city into a city, attracting enough immigrants to become a political star of the time, and highly appreciated by Mags.

After that, Maggs overrode Harry to become the governor of Cosenas, and during Harry's administration, the state was almost the same as that of White Land, and the state quickly recovered, and with a self-sufficient light and heavy industrial base, the state's economic and ecological environment was greatly improved. In particular, Harry has a very good way of stimulating investment, and it took less than 15 years under his leadership for Corsenas to get rid of the situation of being the last in the empire, which also gave Harry considerable prestige in the party.

Perhaps from the current seat, you can see Harry's status in the new party, in addition to Maggs, the chairman and a deputy chairman of the new party committee, Powell and other party insiders, as well as cabinet members, his ranking can be said to be in the top three, which is why he has the confidence to run for the next prime minister, as long as Maggs supports him and nominates him, he has a great hope of winning that position.

No one would think he was arrogant when he said such things at such a time, and he was in his twenties when he became mayor, not much different from Doolin. He used his own personal experience to tell Powell that Doolin was not "special" and that he was not much different from some politicians here.

"But the citizens of the Reich who have lost their lives should not be guilty of a fault that is not their own, and if hundreds of lives are spent to accumulate experience for a politician, then I think it is completely a crude, cruel, dehumanizing 'growth'. Powell shook his head, he looked down at the pen he was playing with, and then looked at Harry, "I don't deny the changes that Mayor Dolin brought about during his time in Otis City, I recognize his contribution to Otis City, to Cosenas and the Empire. ”

"However, after all, he made a mistake, and I know that the outside media said that the fault was on the side of the United Construction Engineering, but on the other hand, let's reflect on why Mayor Dolin didn't let the engineering companies with rich construction experience in the empire review after getting the design drawings? If he had done so, I believe that any company with sufficient qualifications in the empire would have told him that the design was not up to standard. But he didn't, no matter what the reason, whatever the reason, he had to take responsibility for these more than 300 lives!"

Harry narrowed his eyes slightly, then quickly turned his head to silence, his chest heaving violently, and he looked like he was angry.

But, no.

Defending Duhrin is the instinct of a politician, and politics is actually a game circle, with its own rules of the game, and "protecting the short" is one of them. If anyone wants to make a difference in the imperial political arena, achieve a certain amount of success and pursue higher goals, he can never be alone, he must have his own henchmen, have his own team, then maintaining his own people is what every team leader must do, even if he knows it is wrong.

Of course, after arguing and showing his attitude, Harry no longer confronted Powell because this matter really needs someone to be punished, so that imperial public opinion and public opinion can see how much attention the government attaches to this matter, that person will not be him, nor Maggs, let alone anyone else, but Dohrin!

He did what he had to do, and then calmly accepted the result, and his task was accomplished.

Maggs glanced at Harry, then at Powell, "So what do you think Mayor Doolin should do?"

"Of course, it is a temporary recall, he is currently too attractive to continue to govern in the city of Otis, we need to keep him cold for a while, let him realize his problems, summarize his mistakes and gains in the past, and let him have a growth process. When the turmoil of this matter has passed, we will reactivate Mr. Doolin, and we will still need his talent. ”

Maggs nodded noncommittally, "I think I understand, since Mr. Powell has put forward this intention, then let's vote in accordance with the rules and regulations." Those who agree to the temporary removal of Mayor Dohrin from his post are invited to raise their hands......"

Facing the gradually raised arm, Maggs bowed his head expressionlessly and recorded a passage in his notebook.

At about eight o'clock that night, Durin was sitting in the living room drinking wine, when the phone suddenly rang.

He glanced at Scott, who was halfway up the cup, looked at himself, and shrugged his shoulders easily, "If I'm not mistaken, it's definitely not a good sign." ”

Scott smiled and put his raised glass down, the smile on his face very stiff.

Durin walked over to the phone and lifted it, and Harry's voice came from the receiver.

"I am very sorry, Dulin, but Mr. Powell's proposal for the temporary removal of you from office was passed at the party meeting today, and I have tried very hard to argue for you, but to no avail. ”

Durin pulled out a cigarette, Scott pulled out a lighter to light for him, he waved his hand, turned around and lit a cigarette for himself. The grinding sound of the lighter made Harry's palms on the other side of the phone sweat a little, and he continued: "But there is good news...... , I have won some convenience for you, the recall is only temporary, and after this period of limelight has passed, the party will use you again. And you don't have to worry about your position in the party at all, after the reinstatement, at least the mayor, it is very likely that you will be nominated for the Imperial Diet, many people have waited for this step for a lifetime. ”

Durin laughed twice, "So should I hold a banquet now to celebrate my ascension in the future?
