Sanhe Town is more than 50 kilometers away from Algai City, the largest city in the western part of the Ged region.
The 401st Infantry Division of the Garrison Corps is stationed near Sanhe Town. In fact, Sanhe Town was originally a very small village. Its development into a town with a population of more than 100,000 benefited from the garrison economy.
After the SAR government is established in the future, Sanhe Town will also be the seat of Sanhe County administrative agencies.
The administrative area of Sanhe County, including Algai City, has a total population of more than two million.
In the future administrative structure of the Gede District, the county will belong to the second-level administrative region.
The entire special zone will be divided into fifteen counties.
However, the county administrative agency is an agency assigned by the SAR government, and the county chief is directly appointed by the Prime Minister.
Therefore, the county administrative agency only serves as an auxiliary agency to coordinate the SAR government's policies at the local level. It does not belong to the real government at the first level and has no real jurisdiction over cities and towns.
The elected mayor, council, etc. are the real government and legislative body of the constituency.
In fact, according to the original laws of the Kingdom of Greyfinni, state, city, town and other governments are completely independent institutions and are not subordinate to each other.
But the United Kingdom has generally given more powers to state-level governments.
This is especially true for the framework of the Gede District. The SAR government has much more powerful jurisdiction than the state government.
From this, it can be foreseen that these fifteen stationed county magistrates may not be just decorations in the future, but will definitely exert great influence in local affairs.
Among the supporters in Sanhe Town who warmly welcomed the garrison commander, there were quite a few political and economic figures who hoped that after the commander was elected, he could appoint themselves as the county magistrate of Sanhe County.
Even Brigadier General Newton, commander of the 401st Infantry Division, asked Adjutant Danilova implicitly about the possibility of him being appointed as the mayor of Mikawa County.
After all, if the commander can serve as the prime minister, there will be no insurmountable legal provisions for him, the commander of the infantry division, to concurrently serve as the county magistrate.
…
The bulletproof RV looks simple on the outside, but very luxurious on the inside, but the internal structure is highly confidential.
Lu Ming has been riding in this simple RV recently, traveling from city to city to deliver campaign speeches.
It would be difficult to visit every village, but not to mention cities, even small towns, try to make sure that you can visit every small town.
Sometimes I walk through several small towns in a day, but Sanhe Town is a big town, and it will be one of the fifteen county agencies stationed there. It is necessary to determine the candidate for the local county magistrate to be appointed after the election is successful, because this As a candidate, you still need to use local influential figures, who will also become strong allies to help you win local votes.
Therefore, we will stay in Sanhe Town for a few days.
Just now, another speech was given in front of tens of thousands of enthusiastic people in the square without any safety measures.
The speech while standing on a wooden stake is very retro.
The response from the public was also extremely enthusiastic.
Without safety measures, I wish someone would assassinate me. That would get more sympathy votes.
Anyway, if he hadn't been hit accurately in the head by the gunman, his life would have been safe.
In the study room of the RV, Lu Ming looked through the materials of more than a dozen people.
There are local candidates running for SAR council members, and there are also figures who provide themselves with political and economic resources, hoping to have the opportunity to be appointed as Mikawa County Mayor in the future.
More than a dozen people are all on his own radar, and they are all on his side.
Nine people clearly claimed to be members of the "Ecumenical Party".
This Ecumenical Party is not the Ecumenical Party of the former Kingdom of Grifenni, but a new political party in the Gede region.
Basically, the outside world sees it as a political party supported by the Ged military, and its philosophy is basically the philosophy of His Excellency the Commander.
The reconciliation of all ethnic groups gives the people more power and leads to stability and prosperity.
Generally speaking, it belongs to the liberal category.
Speaking of which, it is very ironic that a royalist military leader forced himself to run for election, but he has liberal ideas.
But it is these inexplicable multiple identities that allow the Commander to win over supporters from almost everyone including conservatives, liberals, authoritarian believers, extremists, etc.
Of course, people with different political views also have sufficient reasons to oppose the military commander's candidacy.
But after Lu Ming's speech all the way, the situation was obviously very good. Basically, the polls in the cities and towns he passed through immediately soared.
In one small town in particular, he accepted the challenge of the local Rose Party parliamentary candidate to conduct a live debate in front of the people.
The candidate was a well-known local lawyer, but he was refuted by the Commander and was speechless. In the end, he was on the verge of collapse. Fortunately, the Commander showed mercy and finally appeased him.
After the debate, he praised the Commander for his deep understanding of various legal systems. He could be said to be a prophet from the future world. He completely turned from negative to fan and became a loyal supporter of the Commander.
The live debate, which included an exclusive interview with Rose Party lawyers afterwards, was broadcast throughout the GED through the signals of the three major television stations.
Today, in the cities and towns where His Excellency the Commander has not yet arrived, polls show that quite a lot of people are looking forward to his arrival.
Sometimes in the eyes of the public, political ideas become worthless in the face of personality charm.
His Excellency the Commander demonstrated this very well.
Danilova came in from the outside, her blue eyes were full of admiration for her master. This was not at all because of her master's lofty status, let alone wearing a ring of slavery, but from a modern perspective, she had such a huge admiration for her master. I was completely impressed by the height of the sea.
In fact, judging from all aspects of intelligence feedback, after His Excellency the Commander started the election campaign and gave wonderful speeches one after another, in the garrison, although the senior generals had conflicts of interest and so on, it is difficult to say the true psychological state of , but the mid-level and lower-level officers and soldiers have undoubtedly greatly enhanced their admiration and loyalty to the Commander.
"Master, your call is from Mrs. Bridget." Danilova brought the microphone, and the long telephone line extended out of the study.
Car phone technology is now booming and has become a standard feature of business and high-end models.
Lu Ming nodded and took the phone, "I'm here."
"General, I agree with your proposal. I will issue a statement about quitting the party in the afternoon. Do you want to read my statement? Where will you go next? I will fly over to meet you?"
There was some urgency in Bridget's tone, which may have revealed her true state of mind, but she was also deliberately showing weakness.
Maybe she joined the campaign team to cause trouble.
But no matter what, it was obvious that she saw that if this situation continued, the Rose Party would inevitably suffer a disastrous defeat, so whether it was causing trouble or opening up a new development path, she decided to wait for the tiger and enter her own circle to see the situation.
After thinking about it, Lu Ming smiled: "I won't read the statement or anything like that. I will still be here tomorrow, but I want to make a statement in advance. The cabinet and parliament should make a decision to deprive me of my candidacy. And Prosecutions may also be filed against me for violating the United Kingdom Electoral Act and causing chaos in the Gede District elections."
Bridget chuckled and said, "Then I have to join you as quickly as possible, right?"
If we don't get involved as soon as possible, she will definitely not be the deputy designated to continue running on behalf of the Ecumenical Party after His Excellency the Commander announced his withdrawal from the race.
Lu Ming smiled and said: "That's true, but don't worry, I will try my best to delay this lawsuit, appeal, and fight it all the way to the Supreme Court. When the Supreme Court rules that I am not qualified to be a candidate, there will still be a period of time. You can pursue it." Make progress. And, well, I feel now that maybe I can win something more in the end rather than walk out of the election in despair.”
Bridget was obviously startled, then chuckled: "Of course I believe you, the general can always bring too many surprises."
Lu Ming smiled and said, "As long as it doesn't scare you, come over as soon as possible."
…
An hour after ending the call with Lu Ming, Bridget made a statement that shocked the entire United Kingdom.
Bridget's statement said that after many sincere invitations from the Ecumenical Party, she made the difficult decision to join the Ecumenical Party, which is more similar to her political philosophy. From today on, she will fully help General Bit. Win the election.
At the press conference, she cried several times when she talked about the difficulty of making a choice.
She believes that in modern society, Mathieuism needs new development and interpretation. She will inherit the pioneering spirit of the Mathieu family and strive for better well-being for all Sonia people.
During the Q&A session, when a reporter asked Governor Goring if he approved of her choice, she replied that she had agreed to divorce Governor Goring.
Afterwards, according to some media digging, it seemed that Governor Goering and Mrs. Bridget had never slept in the same room and had always been separated.
This is also the reason why Governor Göring readily agreed to the divorce. Otherwise, if it were brought to court, the judge would immediately declare the marriage invalid without a formal hearing. At that time, Governor Göring would not gain anything except losing face.
This gossip was even more sensational than Ms. Bridget's resignation from the party to join the Ecumenical Party, and it quickly became the hottest topic.
…
Luxurious restaurant on the third floor of Gaston Building.
The place has always been deserted, and today there was only one table.
Governor Goering and Bridget sat opposite each other.
Goering seemed to have had a very difficult time in the past few months. He seemed to have aged ten years, with a haggard face and gray hair.
His eyes danced with anger.
"I was about to leave, and you must see me. I think I should come and invite you here for a special reason..." Bridget's blue eyes were sad, her head lowered, not daring to look. Goering's face.
"Why?" Golin squeezed out these words through his teeth.
Bridget said nothing, but a line of clear tears slowly fell from her sad eyes.
Golin looked at her, his eyes gradually changing from angry to complicated.
"I know, it's my incompetence..." Golin let out a long breath, but where he glanced, he saw a figure entering the restaurant, taking a few steps this way, and then stopped, wearing a long black skirt. The graceful and beautiful young woman is Scarlett.
Scarlett looked a little at a loss at this time.
Since their trip to White Bear Lake, Scarlett and Bridget have become good friends.
Bridget invited her to come here for dinner today, and she came without thinking too much, but she didn't expect that sitting opposite Bridget was the most terrifying dream in her life.
Goring also caught a glimpse of Scarlett.
Bridget's voice trembled and she was extremely sad: "I, I invited her here. I know that in the future, the devil will come back from me a thousand times like you once tortured his lover. Even if I... You have to grovel in front of her, I hope, you, you can remember this..."
The flames in Golin's eyes seemed to be capable of killing people. He gritted his teeth and blood seemed to flow from the corners of his mouth.
"When you have no fighting spirit, I hope you will think of this scene..." Bridget's trembling voice was full of despair.
"Yes, I know. I'm old. I was caught off guard by the devil's methods. I even lost my fighting spirit. I'm sorry for you! I want you to sacrifice yourself now..." Tears gradually filled Golin's eyes.
Bridget sobbed softly, "I don't want to see your tears..."
Goering immediately raised his head: "No, never will in the future! But you must also pay attention to safety, and don't expose yourself just to blindly find evidence of his illegality. Before I defeat him, you, you..."
Bridget lowered her head and let the crystal tears fall down drop by drop.
"Goering, there is another difficult thing. Can you do it? I will call this woman, you, kneel down and apologize to her. This is the first condition for me to gain the trust of the devil..." Bridget Te raised his head and looked at Golin, his blue eyes full of sadness and intolerance, "I, I..."
"This is not difficult, compared with your sacrifice! Moreover, it is also paralyzing that little beast, right?!" Golin looked at Bridget, his eyes became hot, "You did everything for my comeback. , otherwise, even if you fail here, you will still be the little princess of the Mathieu family when you return to the royal capital, but for me..."
Standing up suddenly, Golin strode towards Scarlett.
When Scarlett was frightened and retreated in panic, and the female bodyguard stood in front of her, Golin suddenly fell to his knees, apologized, and slapped himself harder.
Looking at this scene coldly, the sadness and despair in Bridget's eyes had long disappeared. Looking at Golin's back, there was only sarcasm in her eyes.
He murmured in a low voice, "I hope that starting from today, you will really ignite your fighting spirit. Although you can't help me with anything, there may be a surprise..."
