The governor's office on the top floor of the State Building on Prince Avenue.
"I think we should end this meaningless dispute." Golin looked at Lu Ming, who was sitting opposite him.
Lu Ming said dullly: "Is it meaningless? Mr. Governor, it's hard for me to imagine that you can still be innocent when you are assisted by so many morally corrupt officials. Every Rose Party cadre we investigated and imprisoned has solid evidence. The evidence, I think, is that if there were parliamentary elections here, you would lose all your seats very quickly."
Golin stared at Lu Ming: "Don't talk about whether your evidence is true and valid, let's talk about the huge chaos you created. In just over a month, more than two hundred local officials were called to the Joint Investigation Committee for investigation. Six There are more than ten people in your custody now, and your actions remind me of the Northern Territory more than ten years ago, when they had a movement to suppress the country, right?"
Putting down the tea cup, Goering continued: "Perhaps you have been in the Western Regions for too long and take it for granted that the world is in chaos. However, your actions have damaged not only the Rose Party, but also the credibility of the entire cabinet. It's the legitimacy of the United Kingdom government..." At this point, his eyes suddenly lit up and he looked at Lu Ming, "Oh my god, I know, I know who supports you in doing this!"
Lu Ming didn't say anything, but still drank tea slowly.
Golin stared at Lu Ming, "You don't really want to go back to the era when royal power was supreme, do you?"
Lu Ming said calmly: "There's nothing wrong with it."
Goering smiled: "I see the answer in your eyes, General Bute. In fact, we could have arrested you."
Lu Ming glanced at him and said, "It's not like you haven't tried this before."
Goering nodded: "But Commissioner Gauss has closed the team, and this time is different." As he spoke, he handed a telegram to Lu Ming.
It was a reply sent by Lieutenant General Scholz, the garrison commander of the Gede District, to Prime Minister Dumas. It probably meant that he recognized Prime Minister Dumas's point of view and believed that 'Major General Bute' had crossed the line. He could help Governor Goering quickly calm down. Chaos here.
"I have to say that every time we meet, I can tell that General Scholz is friendly to you. Maybe you think so too, but he obviously supports Mr. Prime Minister."
Goering showed an expression of victory on his face, "However, Prime Minister Dumas believes that such arrests will ultimately damage the prestige of our entire United Kingdom government. Therefore, he hopes to get your cooperation to end the chaos in the Gede area." situation."
Lu Ming smiled: "I don't think this is his kindness. I believe that he is not sure about the consequences of such an action. The First Control has gradually been separated from the armed forces in the past few years. He should Knowing that there are many sympathizers of the First Control in the armed forces, including the Ged Garrison, he is worried that once the military is involved, the direction of things will be out of his control."
Golin frowned slightly.
Lu Ming continued: "However, I would like to hear what proposals Mr. Prime Minister has?"
Goering sent a piece of paper over.
The above contents include ending most of the investigations being conducted by the Joint Investigation Committee against Rose Party members and releasing all detained Rose Party members. The Rose Party will conduct voter registration in the Ged Special Administrative Region and promote the long-promised universal elections.
"Of course, the Joint Investigation Committee can continue to investigate the very few black sheep of our party who have decisive evidence." Goering smiled, "As for General Bute, if you can leave the first control, Mr. Prime Minister promises to work for you in the Secretary's office By arranging appropriate positions in the Sixth Branch, the general can give full play to his abilities, and since the general has been promoted to major general seven years ago, perhaps it is time for him to take a further step."
Looking at Lu Ming, Goering said: "Actually, General, the people who encouraged you to come to the Gede area probably failed to recognize the fact that even if a universal election is held, our Rose Party will win in the Gede area, even if the Gede people are given the right to vote. , it will be us who win in the end.”
Shaking his tea cup, Goering smiled and said: "Actually, I would rather give the Gedes the right to vote. Then, other ethnic groups besides the Gedes, as well as tens of millions of new immigrants, will vote for us, because - fear . They all know, more or less, that everything they have now was taken away from the Gaede people. When the Gaede people's political status rises, only the Rose Party can better protect their interests."
Lu Ming nodded. Golin obviously regarded himself as a political novice, so he explained to himself in such detail.
As for the Rose Party, they should have decided that they are the vanguard to ruin the Rose Party's reputation, and then the royalists will push for elections to completely end the Rose Party's dominance in the Gede area.
In fact, he will eventually be the victim, and only a political novice would act like himself, a complete lunatic.
At least, that's how it seems to traditional politicians.
"General Bit, I think General Dönitz must have never made any clear promises to you. You have been in the Western Region for a long time and have few friends in the capital. I really hope you can listen to the voices of your true friends. You Everything you do now only hurts your own reputation." Goering sighed softly.
Lu Ming slowly sent the paper back, "My condition is that the Gede regional branch of the Rose Party is so corrupt that the whole root is rotten. Governor Goering, you are responsible for this and should take the blame and resign. I really can't imagine that in modern times In a social system, when corruption becomes obvious and commonplace, and the people are used to it, how can the leader of such a branch of the ruling party still plausibly talk about its legitimacy without resigning?"
Golin's expression changed and he stared at Lu Ming gloomily.
"This is my condition!" Lu Ming stood up and said with a smile: "In addition, I hope you are not prepared to arrest me here if we can't negotiate. Then we will really become gangs. I have dated you several times recently. I want to talk, but you avoid me..." He shook his head and walked out.
Golin stared at Lu Ming's back, then looked at the phone on the table, his face uncertain, and finally picked up the topic.
…
Police Headquarters.
Lu Ming sat in the main seat, and there were all senior police officers sitting upright on both sides, including Durant.
After everyone from the director to the deputy director was invited to have tea, Lu Ming, the only deputy director, began to take charge of the work of the police station.
In fact, Lu Ming first came to the Gade area as deputy commissioner, just to hand over power and deal with the aftermath. Later, when the joint investigation committee was established, many people may have forgotten that he still held the post of deputy commissioner of the police station. What document officially removed him from this position.
In this way, after the group was leaderless, Lu Ming took charge of the work of the police station on his own initiative.
The director of the state police department is appointed by the governor, but Governor Göring obviously will not acquiesce that the entire management of the police department he appointed has become a criminal element, so no new director has been appointed for the time being. Ming took advantage of the opportunity.
However, it is also because many middle-level and senior police officers were promoted during the first control period, and it is impossible for them all to be replaced in a short period of time. Now they are happy to return to the old order.
Lu Ming briefly said a few words, asking all senior police officers to stick to their posts. The more emergency the situation, the more important it is to keep public security clear.
Suddenly, a secret agent in black hurried in from outside, came to Lu Ming and whispered a few words.
But it was said that Davitt, director of the Commissioner's Office and acting director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, was attacked by gunmen. Although various precautions had been taken, this time the gunmen were extremely large, with dozens of people, and ambushed Davitt's convoy. .
More than a dozen security personnel died in the line of duty. If the helicopter of the First Control Special Service had not arrived in time, Davitt might have died.
At the same time, multiple JB strongholds and safe houses were attacked.
Part of the safe house was lost, and several important witnesses who would testify against the Rose Party were killed.
