279. Dark Clouds 2 - The Party Doesn't Need You Anymore

Under the scorching sun, little Larry felt that his whole body was almost steamed, his clothes had never dried when they were soaked with sweat, and as long as he stood for a while, a small trace of water would appear on the ground.

Wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead, Little Larry nodded and bent down to retrieve the thin piece of paper from the hand of an impatient old man, and looked down to see that his heart was even more irritable than just now.

It's a lap again!

Again the circle representing the royalists!

A small piece of paper carries hope, but the harvest is disappointment.

As the time for the election draws closer, both the royalists and the Republicans have begun to do some polls.

The note in Larry Jr.'s hand read: "If the election starts now, which party do you choose, the royalists please circle and the Republicans draw triangles." ”

300 poll cards, 162 circles, 128 triangles, and 10 invalids.

As a grassroots member of the Republican Party, Larry Jr. deeply feels the current crisis of the Republican Party.

If the general election is held according to this ratio, the Republicans lose their majority status in the Congress, and coupled with the cheating aristocratic seats of the royalists, the Republicans will even be forced to be unable to function in the Congress.

In front, Jonathan, who was tanned over, little Larry stepped forward to say hello: "Jonathan, how are you over there?"

"It's not good, one hundred and seventy chapters for royalists, one hundred and twenty-five for the Republicans, five abstentions. “

"Damn!" Larry Jr. spat on the ground, "It's all to blame on those rumor-mongers! Tie to a pillar and burn at the stake!"

"Hey, Larry, I hope you can wait until that day, and from tomorrow onwards, I won't be going to the polls. Jonathan stuffed the bag with the poll scrap of paper in his hand into Larry's hand, "My father has found me an apprenticeship in a jewelry store, and I'm going there tomorrow." ”

"But where are your ideals, your passions, gone? We said we wanted to get ahead in the Republican Party and become a respected congressman. ”

Jonathan's expression darkened. He patted Larry's hand. "When you are like me, you have a wife and children, and those ideals will be far away from you. With that, the young man, who had already had a small wrinkle on his face, left without looking back.

"Jonathan!"

Little Larry shouted at the distant back. There was a heavy sigh in his ears: "Forget it." Everyone has their own ideas. Let him go!"

Turning his head, little Larry was so excited that he couldn't even speak.

Leader of the Republican Party, Prime Minister of the Empire. Anthony Cooper!

Little Larry has always regarded Anthony as his idol, a person who was regarded as an outcast of the family, step by step climbed to the high position of the prime minister of the empire, it is simply an inspirational model, little Larry always dreams that he can one day be like Anthony, in charge of the executive Yuan of the empire, and be the first person under the emperor!

Smiling at the young party members, Anthony said in a soft voice: "Hard, how are today's polls?"

Hearing the prime minister say to him that he had worked hard, little Larry was very excited, but when he heard the words behind him, he lowered his head and seemed to be embarrassed to say: "The result is ...... Not very good, not once more than fifty percent ......"

Anthony's brows furrowed at first, and then quickly began to expand, and his tone was still relaxed: "It's okay, it's just a test, it's still early before the election, and those stupid nobles will do something to kill themselves sooner or later." ”

That's right!

Those aristocrats are not only stupid, but also lustful, mean, shameless, obviously have no ability, but rely on the merits of their ancestors, occupy high positions, enjoy privileges, they will always make mistakes because of their ignorance, and when the time comes, the hard-working Republicans will have a chance.

This is the content of the Republican Party pamphlet, and Larry Jr. has long memorized it.

After encouraging the hard-working grassroots Republican members again, Anthony turned around and got into his carriage, and as soon as he entered, Anthony had a gloomy face and said to a person with a grim face: "Find the person who left just now, let him 'have an accident', the Republican Party needs to work together now, even if he has no heart to work for the Republican Party, the Party does not need him!"

——————

The carriage, as it traveled along Wellington's wide avenue, soon entered a vast and luxurious manor house, in which lifelike statues of beautiful women stood in the courtyard, neatly cut shrubs half a man high, and the servants were dressed as neat as new, and it seemed that the manor had cost a great deal.

A camel with a gold coin carved into a disc on a large iron gate represents the estate of the Cooper family, a wealthy businessman.

The estate may be overwhelming to others, but it is a piece of cake for the first business family of Bugas.

Anthony stepped out of the carriage, and immediately a servant brought water to clean his hands, as well as hot towels in silver plates.

Applying it to his face and feeling the comfort of the heat, Anthony wiped his face, threw the towel aside, and asked Henry, who came up, "Are all the people coming?"

"It's coming. Henry cautiously returned, and could see that his brother was not in a good mood.

The two brothers walked into a slightly poorly lit conference room, and a large group of elderly people were already sitting around the conference table, watching the two of them come in with a serious face, and the atmosphere seemed to be solemn as substance.

Anthony didn't seem to see this, walked to the main seat and sat down, and said lightly, "Now for the meeting." ”

As soon as he sat down, someone immediately attacked Anthony.

"Prime Minister, according to the latest information, our plan in Bithynia has failed, could you please explain this matter?"

Anthony squinted and said to a middle-aged and elderly man in his fifties, "Councilor Reed, are you accusing us?"

"Don't dare, Prime Minister, but you also know that we have invested a lot of money in Bithynia's plan, and tens of thousands of gold coins are all contributed together, and the plan has not been successful, should there be an explanation?"

Anthony narrowed his eyes, looked at Reid as coldly as a snake, and said after a while: "Councilor Reed, this plan was jointly formulated by us and Mandal, and the main implementer is in Mandal. ”

Shirk responsibility, that is a must, as a senior politician, if he does not even have this basic quality, Anthony will definitely not be able to sit in the position of prime minister.

But Reed obviously didn't want to let Anthony go, and continued to press: "So, what about the result? Not only did the plan fail, but someone else found your Cooper Chamber of Commerce check at the spy's residence, and neither end of the box benefited, sir, do you think so?"

Anthony's face was like dripping, Reed was openly provoking his authority, it seemed that these people came prepared today, and their voices were low: "Our people have carefully checked Gerald's residence, and they have not left the so-called checks, which are deliberately planted and blamed by the royalists!"

"The devil knows if they really checked ......"

"Enough! Shut up!" Reid was about to say anything more, but an old voice sounded in the conference room, "Reed, do you doubt the Prime Minister's words?"
