Cosma Empire

Chapter 717 Annual Meeting

Memnon is dead.

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

If anyone was affected by Memnon's death the most, it was the Kadima Party. The only person in the Kadima Party who can take the stage is Memnon alone. He has become the only influential person in the Kadima Party by virtue of his "politics is a deal" approach. As for the others...in fact, they are not very good. Most of these people are descendants of slaves, freedmen, and commoners. The reason why they can become Memnon's confidantes and the backbone of the Kadima Party is not due to their ability, but loyalty!

They are loyal to Memnon, so Memnon placed these people in important positions in various cities based on the principle of "using energy is worse than using familiarity". Memnon's plan is very simple. He becomes the governor, and then these people under him Here, the outstanding ones will gradually become the mayors of each city, and finally fully occupy the west. As long as the three western states are occupied by him, they will naturally bring him many different benefits. Apart from wealth, power, status and prestige, the most important thing is talent.

Memnon and Durin, as well as all small and medium-sized forces that are not of noble origin, are facing an unavoidable difficulty, that is, the lack of talents, the lack of top talents. These things cannot be bought with money. Those top talents themselves have huge social value. They can find a job in any consortium and they can bring huge economic returns and social status. Why should they join a group of mud dogs? People laugh at?

Giving them more money will not bring them satisfaction and sincerity. These top talents are often more realistic than those with half a bottle of water. Because the knowledge and abilities they possess are enough for them to see through the false surface of the whole society, allowing them to see the essence of society through the surface. On the contrary, those who have half a bottle of water often still have some idealistic mentality, thinking that they can change things by relying on their own abilities.

If a force that wants to develop better does not have the support of a large number of senior and top talents, it will be difficult to go far. The simplest example is governing cities. We all say that governing the city is not very simple, attracting investment, resolving conflicts, improving happiness, increasing employment opportunities, accelerating urban development, and timely adjusting social structure and class. A few simple words can summarize what a city manager needs to do, but the problem is that knowing does not necessarily mean that he will do it.

Without these talents, even if Memnon occupies the actual power of the three western states, he will not last long.

But there is a solution to this matter itself, and that is the identity of Memnon. Once he becomes the governor, it means that he is no longer a "grassroots". In the aristocratic period, the governor is also a governor's status, and there is still some gap with those lords and barons who are lucky enough to become nobles. Based on the status of the governor, it can leverage the recognition of some senior talents to the Progressive Party. With the joining of these people, and with these people as the "bones" of the Progressive Party and others as the "meat", the Progressive Party can usher in a huge leap in development.

This is also one of the reasons why Memnon is unwilling to take the initiative to share the information of Mr. Kesma's family despite having information. In addition to the fear of the family, he is still worried about his future. If the new party "wanted" him to lose in the election, he really did have a good chance of losing. Don't talk about fairness and openness. In the end, the ballots will be sent to the imperial capital for auditing. Is it difficult to do something here?

It’s not difficult at all. It’s only three or five votes away, and the public commented that it’s a pity. Encourage Memnon to come again after eight years... This is Gou Ri’s politics.

Therefore, Memnon needs to grasp a heavyweight bargaining chip, which can play a decisive role in the general election year. There is no more powerful bargaining chip than the information of Mr. Kesma's family-except for this, he really Having nothing in his hands to trade with the Cabinet was his only hope.

As a result, he died.

Memnon's death is not a big problem. Even Magus didn't feel the crisis that the death of a western mayor would cause to the whole society. What really felt troublesome was the Kadima Party left after Memnon's death and the Member of the Progressive Party. When Memnon was not dead, whether it was the city halls of various places or the state governments of the three states in the west, they were treated like brothers, making them feel that they had integrated into the circle of the upper class in the west and became real people. A member of high society.

It was precisely because of this feeling that these people and Memnon betrayed their past beliefs, but now the problem came, that comfortable feeling was gone.

What they feel now is the indifference and even malicious treatment from their colleagues and superiors. In the past, some small things could not be done well, and their colleagues would help them, and the superiors let them pass. Now, if they can't do a little thing well, the indifference and sneering expressions of their colleagues make them feel serious emotional hurt, and the strictness of their superiors makes them feel their own...stupidity.

All of this happened after Memnon's death. On the fifth day after Memnon's death, the Progressive Party held a meeting of organizational members to discuss what to do next. But no one knew how to do it. In the past, Memnon arranged for them to do these things. They didn’t need to think, they didn’t need to waste their brains. The sudden loss of a wolf turned the pack of wild wolves into dirt dogs, capable of nothing but barking.

It was only at this time that people in the Progressive Party knew how important Memnon was to the Progressive Party.

Regardless of the Kadima Party, which has become a mess, the death of Memnon also made the working class in the west who bought the three guarantees policy boil. The person who presided over this policy went to see God, so what about the policy he left behind? , How to continue to implement, how to continue to implement has become a big trouble. At the same time, the reorganized labor unions finally realized their importance with tears in their eyes. The working class in the west strongly demanded that the labor unions represented them and negotiated with the state governments of the three states to ensure that their interests were not harmed.

But it is impossible for the state government to agree to such a thing. When Memnon was there, he used bright or dark means to indirectly corrupt the state government. Now that he is dead, who cares about him and his gang of dogs? The tough attitude of the state government has produced a series of troubles, the most intuitive is the strike!

Organizing the working class to coerce the government and capitalists to compromise through strikes and demonstrations has always been the best method of the workers' trade unions. There is no such thing as a wave of strikes that swept across 22 cities on three western continents and reached a climax in an instant. The entire empire is paying attention to the general strike in the west, including the cabinet. Everyone knows that the economic retrogression effect brought about by the strike has a negative impact on society. Why does the state government maintain a tough attitude?

In fact, the reason is very simple. The three governors plan to settle accounts after the fall. If there is no strong social unrest, how can the progressive party members be removed from the state government and the city hall? Memnon died easily. He was shot more than a dozen times and lay down on the ground. It was over with a kick of his feet. But how to solve the mess he left behind, how to deal with the personnel problems he left behind, and how to deal with the social conflicts he caused? Mediation? These are very complicated things, but there is a way to make complicated things less complicated, and that is to find someone or a force to take the blame and kill them all.

The culprits are all dead, so what contradictions cannot be resolved?

Quarrel?

trouble?

You are welcome in district and state prisons, and if not in Heaven!

While the cabinet and the state government were selecting the next successors, they started to ask the state government to arrange crimes for Memnon and the Progressive Party. The cabinet didn’t care about the death of a pawn. Yes, and this time it was completely broken.

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

In such a chaotic time, Dooling had the first weekend in June, and it was a happy one.

"This person is... Alfonso?" Outside the Henry Manor, a luxury car slowly drove into the temporarily planned parking lot, and a man in his thirties wearing sunglasses got out of the car , he looks a little handsome, with a very slender figure and a very unique temperament. He looks like a rich son-in-law. Not far away, some people took photos of these people with their cameras openly. They have been driven away by security several times, but they still haven't left too far.

They are agents of the Imperial Anti-Organizational Crime Investigation Bureau, and their task is to investigate the list of members of the fellow countrymen who came to the west to participate in the annual meeting and the information of these people.

As the largest organized crime gang in the history of the empire, the Association has a clear organization and a strict hierarchy. It has always been the target of the Anti-Organized Crime Investigation Bureau. But the hometown association has the biggest difference from other gangs, that is, all the members of the association are loyal to the only figure at the top of the pyramid, Mr. Du Lin, who is known as a social philanthropist.

In other words, all branch presidents are not necessary. Although they have extraordinary status and power, they can be replaced anytime and anywhere without affecting the normal operation and work of the branch. The benefits of arresting any one of the chapter presidents are very low, not even capable of disrupting the activities and management of a chapter. This caused a great headache for the Anti-Organizational Crime Investigation Bureau. If Du Lin could not be caught, the hometown association would not have been destroyed.
