The next afternoon, Holmes knocked on the door of the Earl of odega''s villa. Your Excellency, chairman, has two manors in DIDU, but those two manors are a little far from where he works.
As an old man, he is not suitable for getting up early every morning and then taking the car to kill a lot of time in the crowded rush hour of imperial capital. He will rush to the work place in a hurry, and he may be late for it.
He could live less than 15 minutes'' walk from the new party office building. At that time, many people were imagining what a beautiful world it would be if everyone could have a running car in the future.
Today, half of this ideal has been realized, but people have also found the bad behind the beautiful ideal. The crowded car tide and a large number of sections that are not allowed to stop make the drivers miserable.
Some newly developed villas and communities, roadside parking spaces and community parking spaces have also begun to be sold as real estate property rights.
The times are changing so fast that people have been forced to adapt by pressing their heads before they can enjoy it.
Holmes stood outside the villa and waited for about two minutes before his Excellency opened the door for him. It was normal for him to be old and slow. He politely invited odega to sit down in the study and asked the housekeeper to bring snacks and flower tea.
To this end, he also explained to Holmes - the doctor told your excellency that he can no longer drink any irritant drinks or eat any irritant food.
Among them, coffee, wine and some foods with a lot of spices can no longer be eaten. Although the old man has many complaints about this, he has always adhered to it, because he is also an old man afraid of death.
People are more and more afraid of death, because they know that death is no longer out of reach. Death hovers around them and can make them smell the smell of death from themselves!
It''s really painful to protect your body, but eating and drinking restrictions are not a problem compared with living longer.
After they sat down, the housekeeper closed the door when he left the room. Holmes exchanged greetings with his Excellency the chairman for a moment and explained his intention directly.
At their position and level, if the relationship is not a little strange and alienated, there is no need to go around at all.
Margus will never say ambiguous words with kubal, just as Holmes will not say some crazy riddles with odega. They are all of noble origin. Odega can be regarded as Holmes''s elder. It is not polite for the younger generation to say irrelevant words when facing the elders. Moreover, the relationship between the two sides has always been good, It can be said that he is a good colleague in the same circle.
After explaining his intention, Holmes was not blindly optimistic. He also asked a question, "is there any additional resistance between me and my goal?". He meant Dooling. He didn''t know where Dooling had come, so he needed to know it first.
Mr. chairman hesitated and nodded, "you know, now we are in some trouble. Everyone begins to have more ideas. We can''t ensure that everyone''s ideas and interests are consistent with the collective interests, nor can we force everyone to accept their ideas."
"I know you are a hard-working person, and I know something about the development of woodland over the years, but I can''t fully understand how you can solve the current dilemma if you do what you want to do."
Holmes asked with a relaxed smile, "is this the first question of the interview?"
The chairman smiled and shrugged his shoulder, "if you think this consideration will make you happier!"
Holmes kept smiling and began to sort out the ideas in his brain. He considered this problem before he came here. This is also his opportunity. If everything goes well for the new party, he won''t become the key person.
He already has some plans. What he needs to do now is to find the most suitable combination.
Mr. chairman, he would not urge Holmes. He quietly drank herbal tea, sat behind the table and looked at the newspaper on the table with glasses. For more than ten minutes, Holmes coughed and ended his thinking.
Mr. chairman also took off his eyes, put his hands on the table and looked at Holmes with great expectation.
Holmes'' working ability and ruling ability are also very high within the new party. He looks forward to whether Holmes can give him some valuable ideas and reminders to solve at least some of the problems that need to be solved urgently.
"Attraction and cohesion are the two keys to solving all the current problems. Please forgive me for offending Mr. MARGES. For the new party, Mr. MARGES is the biggest attraction. He is like a magnet that attracts everyone''s."
"We deeply admire him for his great political ambition, far-reaching thinking and vision. In the past 30 years, we have always believed that as long as Mr. MARGES does not leave that position one day, the cabinet, the new party, US and even the Empire will not exceed our control."
Holmes''s words made your excellency very much agree. When MARGES was still a leader and prime minister, how could there be so many things?
No matter who he is, he is abiding by the rules he has made. No one dares to offend the rules he has made, and no one dares to cross that line. Those 30 years are the brightest time and the golden age of the new party for your Excellency and all the elders of the new party.
This is also the main reason why many people don''t know what to do immediately after margus leaves and falls ill. One second they are still in heaven, the next they fall into hell, and everything happens before their thinking has time to respond.
Holmes himself also felt that the golden years had revived the Empire and embarked on a broad road of rejuvenating the powerful country. It can be said that the life enjoyed by everyone living in the Empire today was not given by God, nor floated over the agate River, but given to them by MARGES and the new party.
But they seem to have forgotten these. People are really forgetful.
Of course, with emotion, his own affairs can not be interrupted here, he continued, "but now Mr. margus has left us, and his attraction, cohesion and social value are being stripped away with his departure, so what we urgently need to do is to re strengthen these two points, attraction and cohesion."
"In the election campaign, we lost to the old party that we had left behind for 30 years. We took revenge and revitalization as the slogan and program of action, first let the people in the party who have not left have a direction and a goal, and then give them some motivation."
"Stabilize this part of the people, and then we create some highlights..." he suddenly smiled. "For example, the core members of the old party, the imperial party or the labour party suddenly joined us, which will play a decisive role in the current living room."
"By solving these two problems, we can build momentum for the election in advance, take great revenge as the core idea, and open the curtain of the election in advance..."
The thought of great revenge has always been one of the mainstream values of society. If you are hurt by others, you will retaliate back, which has always been one of the principles of people''s life.
In court, if a criminal case is caused by a motivated act of revenge, both the jury and the judge will consider reducing the sentence as appropriate.
This view put forward by Holmes, including the previous ideas, is very good. It is indeed one of the ways to solve the current dilemma.
After thinking for a moment, your Excellency the chairman asked, "so where do you think we should start?"
At this time, in Holmes'' heart, he was happy, because the meaning of this sentence was almost equal to telling him that your Excellency the chairman intended to try his way. Once successful, there was no doubt that as a person who contributed to the plan, he would certainly get your Excellency''s support.
The closer he is to the goal he needs, the more careful he is. "Starting from some civilians, according to my understanding, those civilians are the ones who shake the most, but the aristocrats are still very calm. Only when these wavering people understand that the situation will change rapidly can they curb the deterioration of the current situation in time."
There are three reasons for the swing of the populists. The first point is that Bowers is now a puppet. He has abandoned himself, which makes the members of the populists who thought they would win very dissatisfied, but they have no good way to solve Bowers''s problem.
Secondly, the rise of the Labour Party has a great impact on the populists. The core of the Labour Party is basically people of ordinary working class origin, which makes the populists have a congenital sense of closeness and even superiority to the labour party. Moreover, the ability of these people in the Labour Party to engage in sports is far better than the imperialist party, even the new party and the old party, They continue to set up workers'' clubs and hold development campaigns throughout the country, and their influence has rapidly penetrated into the society.
Finally, the populists in the new party currently do not have any new "leaders" who can hold hands. The lack of leaders will indeed distract people, which can easily make them waver when they receive the temptation from the imperial party.
Based on the above views, Holmes believes that it is these people who really shake the foundation of the new party. On the contrary, those aristocrats and MARGES are very rational and calm.
This may not be a kind of appreciation. Sometimes when more people are crazy, reason and calmness may be deeper madness, but they just don''t show it.
His words made your excellency think for a long time, and finally there was no wrong or right evaluation. However, your excellency is not suitable to do so now, nor is it suitable to directly start from the civilian faction.
Once the action is taken, it means to intensify the contradictions and conflicts between the populists and the new party, which will make the consciousness of both sides more antagonistic. This is not a good choice, unless the situation continues to erode and can''t be done until it has to be done in the end.
Thinking of this, your excellency inevitably sighed that it would be better if MARGES had not been admitted to the hospital. There were so many troubles. He solved everything by patting his head alone.
After chatting with Holmes about things inside and outside the party for a while, Holmes left. Everyone''s time is very precious and there is no time to stay for a regular meal or something.
He walked for less than ten minutes, and Dooling came.
In fact, he had already come. He just waited for a while in other places and didn''t appear immediately. After Holmes left for a while, he knocked on the door of the villa.
After waiting for another two or three minutes, the chairman personally opened the door for Turin, invited him to sit down in the study.
After a round of snacks and scented tea, there was a faint smell of tea in the room. Your Excellency, chairman, looked up at Turin, smiled and asked, "have you seen Holmes?"
It was a coincidence that durin came, which made your excellency sure that durin had come long ago. He just hid around and observed, and came immediately after Holmes left.
This is no offense. It only shows that Dooling attaches great importance to the meeting between himself and Holmes, and he is also very careful.
Durin nodded and admitted, "I just saw him leave when I came."
The chairman smiled and continued, "just now Holmes and I talked about some ways to solve the current dilemma in the party. Are you interested in learning about it?"
"Why not?", Dooling took a pancake and took a bite. The pancake still had some temperature. It should have just been baked. It''s much more delicious than Mrs. Maggs. At least it''s not so sweet. There are some flowers in it. "This is a good opportunity to understand the gap between me and Holmes. If I can, I''d like to know."
Mr. chairman, he didn''t hide anything. He took out Holmes''s plan directly. Durin listened very carefully. After listening, he thought and ate another Bo cake. At the same time, he shook his head. "It''s too rigid and inflexible. His mind has been rigid and solidified. This is an antique and his stupid way."
Holmes laughed. He pointed to Dooling and ate a pancake. "It''s a very mean evaluation. Can I know why?"
