Chapter 654: Voting

The Kenini Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., today welcomed the most popular opera in recent times, "Cats," which attracted a large number of audiences.

But what these audiences don't know is that in addition to this opera, there is also a good show to be staged at the Kendini Arts Performance Center today. A big drama about who will lead the leader of an organization like Hydra with tentacles all over the world in the coming days!

"Boss, here," a convoy of motorcades led by staff to the parking area outside the Kenini Arts Performance Center, the doors opened, and Gin opened the door to Anthony, who was sitting in the car.

"Well, do you get the thing?" Anthony asked as he got out of the car and took the cane from Gin's hand.

"It's already there," said Gin, and Gin took out a box and opened it, revealing contact lenses and Bluetooth headphones that had always looked inconspicuous.

"Good."

I know that since I have already taken it in my hands in advance, according to the caution of gin, it must have been checked. So Anthony casually took the glasses in his hand and brought them to one of his eyes, and the Bluetooth headset was also stuffed into Anthony's ear.

"Let's go, I heard that this opera is good, but I want to take a good look at it." After doing all this, Anthony did not stay where he was, and after saying hello, he entered the Kennedy Center surrounded by his men.

At the same time, in addition to Anthony, there are several big names in all walks of life who let them trust their most subordinates, and even went to a ticket office to get the tickets that had already been booked and a small box in their hands, and this small box also contained the same things as Anthony's hand.

Soon the 2,700-odd seats at the Kennedy Center were filled. Then the opera began in earnest, drawing everyone's attention to the stage.

At this time, in a room that is usually used to store props in the art center, a person dressed as a staff member walked in, looked around quietly for a while, and then directly opened a secret door and entered the secret door.

In the secret door, in a heavily guarded room, there was a bunch of machines not much inferior to those owned by some top scientific institutions, and the surveillance screens of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, especially the various corners of the concert hall, and some technical staff.

"How?" The person who came in looked around at the various surveillance screens, and then asked one of the technicians who was operating the equipment.

"The machine communication channel has been tested for the last time, and the suspected rats have been cleared and the meeting can officially begin," the technician reported.

"Check again," the man who came in muttered for a moment before continuing, "If there are no problems, the meeting mode will be officially activated in five minutes." ”

"Understood," the technician nodded, and then began to continue the search with technical means, looking for every suspicious point in the surveillance footage.

Soon, five minutes had passed, and the technician was in conference mode as promised. As the mode turned on, a virtual projection screen that could not be seen by others began to appear on the contact lens that Anthony was wearing, and the sound began to come from the inconspicuous headphones in his ear.

"Hello elites, welcome to today's important meeting that will determine the future direction of our Hydra."

With the sound coming, on the projection screen, the picture continued to open in the shape of particles, and soon a semicircular conference room was formed, and in this semicircular conference room, there were a total of sixteen chairs, and then one by one, the faces could not be seen clearly, and the figures with blurred shapes appeared on the seats one after another. Anthony, naturally, is among them.

And in the very center of the area surrounded by the semicircular conference room, there was also a vague figure whose face could not be seen clearly, and the words just now came from this blurred figure. Clearly, this person is the person responsible for presiding over the meeting.

may know that Anthony and the others don't have time to waste on this, so with a few polite words, the person in charge of hosting goes straight to the point, that is, among the many candidates, choose the person who can take over Alexander Pierce's position.

The method of selection is also very simple, that is, there are sixteen candidates to vote, and the final winner is the person who succeeds Alexander Pierce.

But to be honest, this method is not easy to implement, after all, those who can become candidates are basically the best among the Hydras, and if you want them to vote for others, you can't even think about it if there are no benefits that can make them happy.

And Hydra is quite hard at secrecy, even internally. Except for the line related to one's own area of reference, people on other lines are usually unfamiliar. Even if there is an intersection in ordinary times, most of them are contacted by telephone, Internet, etc. Therefore, even if someone is willing to spend money and come up with benefits that make the other party happy, the other party must be willing to expose their identity, or find out the identity of other people.

The most important thing is that because it is an elimination system, unless someone can get more than half of the votes in a voting mechanism, that is, 9 votes. Otherwise, the winner will only advance to the next round, and others will continue to vote, from 8 out of 16 to 4 out of 8, and then in descending order.

To put it simply, even if one of them gets eight votes in the first round of voting, he will only get one of the 16 votes of 8. You need to compete with the rest of the people, who are selected in turn according to the vote, even if they only get two votes, in an 8-in-4 competition!

So according to this method of deciding the winner, even if the other candidates except Anthony have more resources, they can't afford to waste on this.

“…… Then the first vote will begin, and you will have three minutes to cast your vote, and the clock will now begin. ”

Obviously, this kind of voting in the elimination system cannot be done with one or two votes, after all, if it is like the first round of voting, it will not be possible to make up the quota for the next round of eight votes, and I don't know how many votes will be held. And the opera outside was not long, so without any nonsense, the rules were announced, and the person in charge of presiding over the meeting left time for the thirteen candidates.

And the dark war for the leader of the Hydra will also officially begin.
