Chapter 280: Political Struggle
The Governor's Office is the highest functional government in the Star District. The status of the Governor of the Sector in the Sector is equivalent to that of the Governor of the Planetary Sector on the Planet. But the Governor has a lot more to do than the Administrator.
Within the scope of the star sector, in addition to the habiting planets directly under the jurisdiction of the federal government, there are also various resource planets, exile planets and even barren planets. With so many planets in such a large area, one person must not be able to take care of them. So the governor would give some of his jurisdiction to the magistrate.
The Governor and the Governor are not the same concept, they are equivalent to the Governor's deputies, and there are usually three to five of them in each sector. Unlike the traditional lieutenants, they do not divide a portion of the power, nor are they responsible for certain types of work, but each assists the governor in managing a portion of the planet.
Taking the 66 star sector as an example, there are 23 inhabited planets under its jurisdiction, of which only 7 are under the direct jurisdiction of the governor, and the rest are managed by four administrators.
However, this kind of management is only auxiliary, and does not have the power of military power, appointment and dismissal, and so on. In order to avoid becoming an empty shelf, the administrator usually doubles as the administrator of a planet. Most of their energy is focused on their own planets, and the other planets are mainly focused on monitoring constraints.
When a problem is discovered, a minor issue is discussed with the Planetary Administrator, and if it is not decided or the dispute is large, it is reported to the Governor for adjudication.
It sounds like a general, just a prison army pointing fingers everywhere, without much real power, but there are still benefits.
At the most basic level, a planet under the direct jurisdiction of the administrator who is also the administrator is automatically upgraded to a second-class planet, and no longer needs to pay taxes to the federal government. With Li Xuantong's ability, if he can obtain the qualification of a second-level planet, the development of Thundercloud Star will definitely have a qualitative leap.
However, the greatest significance of the Administrator of the Star Sector is not these immediate interests, let alone the power of fingers, but an important step, a step to the throne of the Governor of the Star District.
All the governors of the star districts have been promoted from the rank of administrator. In order to become a Governor of the Star District, you must have the resume of an administrator.
Li Mu's heart was moved.
Beat your father's heart and change your heart.
Since leaving Lei Yunxing, Li Mu feels like a rootless duckweed, bullied everywhere. Children who have left their hometowns can't afford to be hurt......
If this emotion is heard by outsiders, it is certain that he will be despised, and he may even be beaten. But strictly speaking, it is also true that Second Young Master Li is not free after all.
Take this confrontation exercise on the simulation training platform as an example, if it was on the Thundercloud Star, Li Mu would not have been able to participate in it at all.
If you want to leave the camp and go to the city to relax, where do you need to fight for a vacation in this way? The second young master is so old, he doesn't know what it means to ask for leave. Even a psychiatric hospital can't keep him in a training camp, and a mere training camp is a fart.
The root cause is not because my father's official is too small, and he can't cover it without Lei Yunxing, so that Li Mu doesn't dare to be as unscrupulous as before.
But if Daddy could become the governor of the Star District, the situation would be completely different.
When the time comes, no one will want to restrain him wherever he wants.
Even if he pokes out any more leaks, like sending them everywhere when he was in Thundercloud Star, and no one wants him in the entire planetary fleet, it doesn't matter.
Because Thundercloud Star only has one planetary fleet, but there are more than two dozen planets in one star sector. No one wants this planet, so let's change it. According to the efficiency on the Thundercloud Star, there is no need to worry about placement for decades to come.
Besides, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and the distance between the planets is measured in light years, and it will be impossible for Dad to control himself like before. That happy little day, it's beautiful to think about.
However, although he was moved, Li Mu did not lose his mind.
The executive is a hot position, and I don't know how many people are staring at it. If Xia Shidong really had a way to put his father on the throne, why didn't he think about himself? Even if he was reluctant to wear this military uniform, he could find other people in the Xia family. Specifically used to make a deal with daddy, there must be something wrong with this.
"The cake you said is very tempting, but I'm afraid that my old man won't be able to swallow it. Li Mu glanced at Xia Shidong and said, "In addition, if you say something disrespectful, I don't think you have this ability." ”
"Of course I don't have the ability. Xia Shidong said: "But I can provide this opportunity." ”
Li Mu pouted secretly.
I just tried it, but I didn't expect it to leak directly. The cake is turned into a cake, and it is really unreliable.
"You don't think this opportunity is easy. Xia Shidong saw Li Mu's thoughts and shook his head: "You are not in my position, and you don't know how important an opportunity is." If your father is here, he must know more than you do. ”
"Minister Xia, you don't have to squeeze me with this. Li Mu said: "As I said just now, I am still very young and there are many things I don't understand. It is precisely because I don't understand that I need you to mention more, and it is best to be able to explain it thoroughly. ”
"Then you go. Xia Shidong's face sank: "The matter of the star district government, may I tell you too thoroughly?"
"Yes!" Li Mu stood up and saluted, turned around and went out.
"Get back!" Xia Shidong was a little annoyed and a little helpless.
Before, he said that Li Mu was just a killing strategy like a young man, but now he really thinks that this bastard boy is a bit demonic. is young, and his mentality is stable, and such a big benefit is here, and he is not shaken at all.
After Li Mu sat down again, Xia Shidong said: "There are four administrators in the 66 Star District, but in recent years, the third administrator has been in a state of semi-retirement due to physical reasons. So since last year, the Star District Government has been looking for new candidates. Theoretically, all planetary directors in Sector 66 are candidates for administrators. ”
Li Mu nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
Xia Shidong continued: "Of course, the competition is very fierce, in fact, your father also tried to fight for it. It's just that his chances are not great. ”
Li Mu continued to nod and waited for Xia Shidong's next words.
Xia Shidong saw that Li Mu still didn't pick up, so he sighed helplessly, and could only continue:
"In terms of ability and political performance alone, your father is no worse than the others. It's just that in the upper echelons of the star sector, there is no one to speak for him. And in this regard, the Xia family can help him speak. The Governor approached my father several times and asked him to recommend a candidate. And my father has never decided on this candidate. ”
Li Mu's eyes flashed, and this time he spoke.
"That Governor, have you asked anyone else for advice?" asked Li Mu.
"Including my father, there are three of them. Xia Shidong said: "And the other two have already given candidates." ”
Li Mu's eyes became brighter and brighter.
When it comes to this, it is already very clear.
The Governor is the assistant to the Governor, so it is not necessary to go through the Parliament, it is entirely up to the Governor to decide.
Having said that, the appointment of an executive is not a matter of personal preference. Even if there is a desire to appoint a father and son, it cannot be completely based on temperament, and there must be political considerations. Without the support of external forces, even if it is forcibly appointed, it is just an empty shelf, and no one will buy it.
The governor asked Xia Guangting for Old Man Xia's opinion, in fact, he wanted to know who the Xia family supported. Once this person is selected, the appointment will not be made directly, but will be qualified for real competition.
A chance indeed, a one-in-three chance.
For the position of an administrator, this probability is already very high.
"What do you need me to do?" Li Mu finally relented, but still did not let his guard down.
With such a heavy exchange of interests, he should also talk to his father himself, and his son is at most a matchmaker. But Xia Shidong talked to himself, and he said it so thoroughly. Then there must be something that only Li Mu can do. And this thing, it will definitely be very difficult.
"Of the other two candidates, one of them is already out. Xia Shidong did not answer directly, but continued to talk about the selection of administrators: "Your father's real competitor is actually only one person, called Ren Jizhong. ”
Li Mu frowned.
Of course, it is a good thing that someone is out first, and the one-third chance becomes one-in-two, and Li Mu will not ask why that person is out. As for who the other person is, it has nothing to do with Li Mu.
Although knowing oneself and knowing that the other is invincible, those things are things that Dad should consider. Li Mu didn't think that Xia Shidong said so much just for him to let him pass the word.
"Competition requires calmness, especially for competition executives. If you lose your cool, there will be a flaw. Xia Shidong continued: "What you need to do is to make Ren Jizhong lose his cool. ”
Li Mu probably understood this time, this is indeed his field of expertise.
"What do I need to do?" asked Li Mu.
"Ren Jizhong has a son, who is an only child. Xia Shidong said: "Although this son is not very promising, Ren Jizhong is very doting. If something happens, Ren Jizhong will definitely calm down. And just a few days ago, that Ren Gongzi happened to come to Sirius. ”
"Oh............" Li Mu pulled a long tone, and suddenly realized.
To put it bluntly, isn't it just a ho ho person, and he's just too good at it. Dad and Ren Jizhong compete for the administrator, and it is normal for the sons on both sides to have some conflict.
And Xia Shidong also said that that Ren Gongzi has no big deal, in other words, he is a second ancestor. The second ancestor against the second ancestor, this method is simply too much.
Jealousy, uneven roads, showing off wealth......
In just a split second, countless plans appeared in Li Mu's mind.
"Understood. Li Mu rubbed his hands: "Just say it directly, which hotel does that kid live in?"
"No, you don't get it. Xia Shidong shook his head.
"Don't worry, I'm measured. Li Mu promised: "There will be no deaths." ”
"That's why you don't understand. Xia Shidong said, "You have to kill him." ”
“.........”
