Chapter 717: Annual Meeting

Memnon is dead.

This is a well-known fact, and no one can hide it.

If there is one who has had the greatest impact on Memnon's death, it is certainly the Forward Party. In the entire Kadima Party, Memnon was the only one who could take the stage. With his "politics as a deal" approach, he became the only influential person in the Move Forward Party, as for the others...... Actually, it's not very good. Most of these people were the descendants of slaves, freemen, and commoners, and the reason why they were able to become Memnon's henchmen, and the backbone of the Forward Party, was not because of their ability, but because of their loyalty!

They were loyal to Memnon, so Memnon relied on the principle of "it is better to use the power than to use the skill" to place these people in important positions in various cities, Memnon's plan was very simple, he became the governor, and then among his men, the outstanding will gradually become the mayor of the city, and finally fully occupy the west. As long as the three western states are occupied by him, then they will naturally bring him many different benefits, in addition to wealth, power, status and prestige, and the most important thing, that is, talent.

Memnon and Dorin, as well as all the small and medium-sized forces that were not from aristocratic origins, faced an unselectable difficulty, and that was the lack of talent, the lack of top talent. These things can't be bought with money, those top talents themselves have huge social value, and they can bring huge economic returns and social status to any consortium they can find, so why should they join a group of mud dogs and legs to be ridiculed by people?

Giving them more money will not get them satisfaction and sincerity, and these top talents are often more realistic than those who are half a bottle of water. Because they have enough knowledge and ability to see through the false surface of the whole society, they can see through the surface of the essence of society. On the contrary, those who have half a bottle of water often still have some idealistic mentality, thinking that they can rely on their own ability to change something.

It is difficult for a force that wants to have better development to go far without the support of a large number of senior talents and top talents, and the simplest example is to govern cities. We all say that it is not very simple to govern the city, attract investment, solve contradictions, improve happiness, increase jobs, accelerate urban development, and adjust the social structure and class in a timely manner. A few words can sum up what a city manager needs to do, but the problem is that knowing it doesn't necessarily mean that it will do it.

Without these talents, even if Memnon occupied the actual power of the three western states, he would not have been able to do so for long.

But there is a solution to this matter itself, and that is the identity of Memnon. Once he becomes a governor, it means that he is no longer a "grassroots", and the governor is also a governor in the aristocratic period, and there is still some gap between him and those lords and barons who are lucky enough to become nobles. Using the governor's position as a base point can leverage the recognition of the Move Forward Party by some high-level talents. With the participation of these people, and with these people as the "bones" of the Move Forward Party and the others as "meat," the Move Forward Party will be able to usher in a tremendous leap forward in its development.

This is one of the reasons why Memnon is reluctant to take the initiative to take out the information about Mr. Kersma's family, in addition to the fear of the family, he is worried about his future. If the new party "hopes" him to lose the election in the election, he is really likely to lose. Don't say anything fair and open, the final ballots will be sent to the imperial capital for a record audit, is it difficult to do a little trickery in this?

It was not difficult at all, but he was almost defeated by three or five votes, and public opinion shouted that it was a pity to encourage Memnon to come again after eight years...... This is the politics of Gou Ri.

So Memnon needs to have a heavyweight bargaining chip in his hands that can make the final difference in an election year, and there is no more powerful bargaining chip than the information of Mr. Quesma's family - apart from that, he really doesn't have anything to trade with the Cabinet, which is his only hope.

As a result, he died.

Memnon's death is not a big problem, even Maggs did not feel what kind of crisis the death of a western mayor would cause to the whole society, and it was the Move Forward Party and the members of the Forward Party who remained after Memnon's death that really felt the trouble. When Memnon was not dead, whether it was the local town halls or the state governments of the three western states, they were treated as if they were their own brothers, making them feel that they had integrated into the circle of western high society and became a real member of high society.

It was precisely because of this feeling that these people betrayed their old beliefs along with Memnon, but now the problem is that the comfortable feeling is gone.

What they feel now is the indifference and even malicious treatment from their colleagues and superiors, who used to do some small things badly, and their colleagues will help them get by, and their superiors will let them pass. Now, a little thing is not done well, the indifference and sneering expressions of their colleagues make them feel serious emotional hurt, and the harshness of their superiors to them makes them feel their own ...... Stupidity.

All this happened after Memnon's death, and on the fifth day after Memnon's death, the Forward Party held a meeting of its members to discuss what to do next. But no one knows what to do, in the past, these things were arranged for Memmon to do, they don't need to think, they don't need to think about it, they just need to do it according to Memnon's requirements. Suddenly, the loss of a wolf turned the wolves into earth dogs, and they could do nothing but bark.

It was only at this time that the Move Forward Party knew how important Memmon was to the Forward Party.

Regardless of the fact that the Move Forward Party, which has become a mess, the death of Memnon has also made the working class in the west who have bought the Three Guarantees policy boiling, and the person who presides over this policy has gone to see God, so what to do with the policy he left behind, how to continue to implement it, how to continue to implement it has become a big problem. At the same time, the reconstituted workers' unions finally discovered their importance with tears in their eyes, and the working class in the west strongly demanded that the workers' unions represent them and negotiate with the state governments of the three states to ensure that their interests were not compromised.

But the state government is unlikely to agree to such a thing. Memnon indirectly corrupted the state government by light or dark means when he was there, and now that he's dead, who cares about him and his gang of dogs?

The organisation of the working class to coerce the government and the capitalists into compromise by means of strikes and marches has always been the most adept means of the workers' unions, and the wave of strikes that swept 22 cities on the three western continents reached a climax in an instant. The whole empire was watching the general strike in the west, including the cabinet, which was watching the general strike in the west. People know about the negative impact of the economic regressive effects of the strikes on society, so why should the state government remain tough?

In fact, the reason is very simple: the three governors plan to settle accounts after the fall, and if there is no strong social unrest, how can they get the people of the Move Forward Party out of the state government and city halls? Memnon died very easily, he was shot a dozen times and lay on the ground, and it was over with one kick on both feet, but how to solve the mess he left behind, how to deal with the personnel problems he left behind, and how to mediate the social contradictions he caused? These are all very complicated things, but there is a way to make them less complicated, and that is to find someone or a force to come out and carry the blame, and then kill them all.

The culprit is dead, what contradiction cannot be solved?

Noisy?

Trouble?

You are welcome to the district and state prisons, and you are welcome to heaven!

While the cabinet and the state government were choosing the next successor, they set out to get the state government to arrange charges against Memnon and the Advance Party, and the cabinet didn't care at all, the only clue that they regretted to be able to find the bloody dawn was broken again, and this time it was completely broken.

It's a pity that Amp died a little earlier, if he hadn't died so early, he might have solved the case.

In these chaotic times, Doolin ushered in the first weekend of June, and it was a happy weekend.

"This man is...... Alfonso?", outside Henry's estate, a luxurious car slowly drove into the temporarily planned parking lot, and out of the car came a man in his thirties with sunglasses, he looked a little handsome, very slender, and had a very unique temperament, looking like a rich son. Not far away, some people were taking pictures of these people with their cameras in the open, and they had been chased away by the security guards several times, but they still did not go too far.

They are agents of the Imperial Anti-Organized Crime Investigation Bureau, and their mission is to investigate the list of members of the Association who have come to the west for the annual meeting and the information about these people.

As the largest, well-organized, and hierarchical organized crime gang in the empire's history, the Association has always been a target of the Anti-Organized Crime Investigation Bureau. But the biggest difference between the Association and other gangs is that all the members of this Association are loyal to the only person at the top of the pyramid, Mr. Dulin, who is known as the social philanthropist.

In other words, all chapter presidents are not necessary, and although they have extraordinary status and power, they can be replaced at any time and without affecting the normal functioning and work of the club. The benefits of capturing any one chapter president are so low that they can't even disrupt a club's activities and management. This is a great headache for the Anti-Organized Crime Investigation Bureau, and if Durin can't be caught, there will be no destruction of the Fellow Townspeople's Association.
