The accident that happened to Maggs, and the fact that he was about to enter the top circle, made Durin stay in the imperial capital for a longer time, and he could leave it alone for the time being, as long as he was still the governor of that state, there would be no chaos over there.

Ophelia spends the morning with Maggs, and Durin also has a special care unit for Ophelia to rest in.

The high-end special care unit is much cleaner than the high-end suites in the hotel, and there are only two kinds of people who are eligible to be admitted to such a ward: a wealthy person who is very ill, and a person in power who is very seriously ill.

Every day, the mattresses, quilts, pillows, etc. that are replaced will be directly incinerated and destroyed, and replaced with new kits that have undergone a sterilization process.

There is a special person to take care of it 24 hours a day, and the opposite side of the ward is the hospital's senior doctor's duty room and office, and it only takes ten seconds for any emergency to arrive at the ward for professional rescue or treatment.

Ophelia has been five months pregnant, she is more pregnant, and sometimes she has a shallow appetite, eats less and is prone to nausea.

Durin was often away from home, and it was difficult to take care of Ophelia, and although the housekeepers were all reliable, it was always difficult for people to be completely reassured.

There is always a subconscious panic when people are uncomfortable, and most people may not realize it, but it does exist.

For example, you will be suspicious and think that there is something wrong with your body, feel your bladder a little swollen when you touch the position of your liver, and feel that your stomach has a tingling sensation when you touch your waist, but in fact, those things are not in that position at all.

Similar situations are basically common to everyone, when it comes to health problems, they show two extremes of contempt or fear, in fact, in the final analysis, it is fear that is at work.

But with such emotional problems, it is not possible to solve them, the easiest way is to be admitted to the hospital, those who do not admit it, and vigorously deny these problems will be quiet the moment they enter the hospital.

Because there is a kind of calmness, a kind of peace of mind, which is called the doctor is right.

Ophelia takes care of Mags in the hospital, and by the way, she needs a place to rest in peace, while Durin runs outside.

Now many problems are being exposed one by one, especially in the new party, and the influence of Maggs on the new party is so great that many people regard Mags as a necessary condition and pillar for the existence of the new party.

Now that he has fallen, some people are very panicked, and there is a thought that the new party is going to be finished, and this idea is still spreading rapidly.

There is such an idea, mainly because the new party lost to the old party for the first time in this general election, which made many people begin to face up to the question of why the new party lost.

Whatever the reasoning of the social commentators for this, in fact most people believe that the loss of the new party is directly related to Maggs's resignation.

It was his resignation that caused people's expectations of the new party to fall to the lowest point all at once, and gave the old party a chance to stand on the highest stage of the empire.

This shows how terrible Maggs's influence on the New Party and on the whole society is, and what is even more terrible is that he has been in the hospital because of gunshot wounds and some other geriatric diseases, and refuses to be interviewed, which gives people a lot of room for unlimited imagination.

Some people have already privately spread the false news that Mags has died violently, but there are still some people who believe it, and this just makes the Imperialist Party take advantage of the loopholes, and some middle- and low-level members of the New Party will more or less consider the possibility of switching to the Imperialist Party after contacting the Imperialist Party.

Politically, changing parties and positions is not a big deal, as long as it brings tangible benefits to oneself, then there is no problem!

The main reason why those people in the imperialist party did not go to the top level of the New Party to discuss the issue of winning over them was that the vital interests of these people had long been integrated with the New Party, and the price they had to pay to win them over was much higher than the price of winning over a hundred or a thousand low-level politicians.

In the past few days, Dolly has begun to talk to people one by one to stabilize the internal military morale, and the effect is not bad.

The decision to send her to the development office as the first and the highest head of the department was made by Maggs himself, he felt that Dolly was very relatable, and her voice was very good, and she could unconsciously make people trust her, and it was really a waste for such a person not to do development work.

Over the years, a large number of middle- and low-level organization members have some friendship with Dolly, and some of them have a very harmonious relationship with Dolly, just like Schnodder, they are all Dolly personally excavated from the vast sea of people, and led to this glorious broad road, is their mentor, but also their guide.

Therefore, Maggs's original decision was very correct, not only arranging for Dolly to get up early, but also adjusting Dolly to the position of vice chairman of the new party committee after his retirement.

With her in this position, the middle-level cadres of the New Party can basically be stabilized, as for those at the bottom, even if they lose some, it is not too important, the framework is not messy, and the rest is to fill it in, the good ones can also be bad.

This arrangement was originally intended to guard against Bowworths, but unexpectedly, it was used in the plan of the imperial party and the great prince, which can be regarded as a mistake.

Doolin met Dooli in her office, and after chatting with the last mid-level cadre of the party organization who had made an appointment, she took the time to meet with Doolin.

As soon as Durin closed the door, Dolly began to roll her wrist and crush her temples, she shook her head, and looked at Durin who slowly walked to sit down across from her, "How's the condition of Lord Maggs? I heard that you have been there for the past two days, has he improved in any way?"

At the time of the "loss" of Magus, everyone felt that his resignation would not have much effect, after all, he was only one person, no matter how great his exploits and outstanding medals were, he was only one person.

But it is only when they really "lose" him that people realize that this person has silently established an invisible, but solid and reliable image, a belief in the hearts of each of them.

Now, the faith is a little tilted.

"The doctor said that he is very healthy, the wound is healing, and it may not be long before he can come back. Duhrin crossed his legs and told a lie.

Not many people have access to Maggs now, except for the two nurses, and only the team of experts at the hospital has access to Maggs and knows some details about him.

In addition, there are only a few extremely limited people left, such as Kubal and Durin, and no one knows how Mags has always been a fog to the outside world, which allows Dulin to make the problem simpler without fear of being recognized.

His words did not serve a good comforting effect, Dolly was still worried, she looked at Durin, her lips moved twice as if she wanted to say something but did not say it, after hesitation, she still asked the doubts in her heart.

"There is some gossip out there that is not very worthy of reference, they say that His Excellency Maggs has ......", she said slowly, her expression was very serious, and her eyes looked at Durin intently, as if she wanted to prove whether what she was going to say next was true or false through the changes in his face, "They said that His Excellency Maggs is dead, is it true?"

After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but ask again, "Is this true?" I mean...... Sorry, I shouldn't have said that......"

Durin laughed a few times, he shrugged his shoulders, "All rumors and rumors will eventually be brutally shattered by reality, yes is yes, no is no, there is no desirable middle, Uncle Maggs is still alive, alive and well, and his body is very healthy." ”

As if relieved, Dolly smiled wryly and put down the hand that was crushing her temple, "I hope he can come back soon!"

After saying this, both of them were silent for a while, and after about thirty-four, five, five, six, seven, eighty-ninety seconds, Du Lin suddenly asked, "How did you think about my suggestion last time?"

Dolly was stunned for a moment, she met Durin's gaze, and quickly looked away, "You know, so many things have happened recently, I haven't thought about them. ”

She was still avoiding this more acute question, but Du Lin didn't really want her to fool her through this time, the opportunity was rare, and this time she was not sure, there would be other variables in the future.

He changed his strategy a bit, pressed his hands on the sides of Dolly's desk, leaned forward slightly, and gave a very aggressive feeling, "So we need to discuss the outcome as soon as possible, whether to accept this offer or reject it." ”

"From Uncle Maggs's injury to now, Bowworth is still eating and drinking with his consortium friends, and I have seen in more than one newspaper that he has attended at least three different receptions and danced in public with a young lady. ”

"Your Excellency the President has not said anything so far, he has been sticking to his work, and I admire him for that, no matter what is going on outside, he can act as if he did not see it. ”

"It's just you, Lady Dolly, and you're the only one who has been busy with these affairs in the party, and no one can help you but yourself. ”

Dolly retorted slightly, "It's all my work, you know we have a clear division of work within us, I did what I was supposed to do, others just didn't take my things, they weren't indifferent bystanders." ”

Durin sneered, "Lady Dolly, you ...... yourself what you said Can you believe it?"

Then there was a long silence, like the question asked by Duhring, do you believe what you say?

In fact, Mr. Magus, the chairman of the New Party Committee, is a contemporary of the same era, and he and Maggs are the same age, and they are not too young, so they don't have so much energy to do anything all day.

Moreover, this position is very important, it can be said that the New Party is the "anchor of the sea", if we use the world's parlance, it is the "pillar of heaven", his role is symbolically greater than his actual work, and at the same time his main object of defense is still Bowworth and those of the common people in the party.

As for the other vice chairman, as Dolly said, everyone has a different division of labor, and others will not easily interfere in other people's work, which is not a sign of friendship, but a manifestation of overstepping and seizing power.

The work of the vice chairman was external, such as the diplomatic role of liaising with some organizations or groups within the New Party and society, and rarely intervened in internal affairs.

But that was only under normal circumstances in the past, and now there are thorny problems within the New Party, and if these people still maintain such an attitude, then something must be wrong with them.

Of course, this is not to say that they betrayed the New Party, everything they have has long been closely related to the New Party, but everyone's thoughts are different, and no one knows why they did what they did, as if nothing happened to them.

Loyalty is a really cheap thing sometimes, especially in the face of great temptation.

Dolly herself knows these things, such as the fact that Mr. Chairman, the chairman of the New Party Committee, invited three guests to make a simple barbecue in the backyard last night.

Bowers was more active in moving between various consortia and big capitalists, and it can even be said that he lowered his identity to cater to some big names in business, but he also gained good friendships with each other.

Everyone has their own ideas, and some may be different from Dolly's, but there is absolutely no conflict.

But in some cases, there may be conflicts, and they will be violent conflicts.

"That's why we have to agree on these things as soon as possible. If there is one more stable person in the party, who is willing to pay for the new party, and regards the new party as the chairman of his own cause, it will be far more than one more mascot. Durin withdrew his hands and looked directly at Dolly with a calm gaze, "I decided to be honest with you, Mags is in good health, but he is now partially incapacitated, in other words, he may not appear in public for a short time, and he will appear in a wheelchair in time, without saying a word, and the time is also very short, do you understand what I mean?"

If the previous words only made Dolly a little upset and a little moved, then this sentence made her have a kind of thought that she couldn't say.

Durin's voice was deep and magnetic, and he continued, "I'm sure Uncle Mags would be very relieved even if he knew this, and what we need to do is not to turn this place into a garden, but to keep it going until the day when Uncle Mags recovers." ”

Dolly thought for a moment before asking, "But this doesn't change the current situation, and we're still at a disadvantage." ”

Durin smiled and stood up, he already understood that this was the last question, and Dolly's heart began to lean towards him, "It won't be long before you understand......"
