Blackstone Code Chapter 1231: This is politics
Hicks didn't get much sleep all night, not being able to sleep was the key.
He got up at a little after eight o'clock. Now there are a lot of rumors out there, and everything is said.
Others say he has been restricted from moving and could be thrown into jail anytime, anywhere.
Some people also said that he was involved in tens of millions of money laundering activities. He used his identity as a cover to launder a large amount of black money. He also had very strong relationships with some gangs.
Some people say he intends to make the state independent!
Of course, some people say that he doesn't actually have any problems, and he doesn't speak up now, just to let more clowns jump out.
In fact, there is no further news so far. It is not that Hicks is unwilling to defend himself, but simply because they need to find the "man behind the scenes" and then reach some deals with the man behind the scenes.
If he blindly whitewashes, and soon throws more practical and effective evidence behind the scenes, it will only make people think that he is a liar, a fraudster, and completely cut off his political career.
But if he can reach an agreement with Lynch, then he will be whitewashed, and without further exposure of black material, he will be whitewashed.
Even if he loses the election, at least he has kept his dignity and his political career!
Whitewashing, refuting, and sometimes not so simple.
After he woke up, he stayed by the phone and called Lynch after nine o'clock. This time Lynch didn't hang up or ask him to change the time.
He talked a lot on the phone about his political platform and governance philosophy, which are all things a politician must have and be clear about.
If it is not clear enough, then it will not be liked by people, which is very fatal.
This call looks like a very normal call. Hicks is talking about his political stance and seems to hope to get some support from Lynch, even if the call is recorded and people Analysis, they are unlikely to directly analyze the unfavorable part of Lynch.
He just listened the whole time and didn't express any of his views until the end.
"Mr. Lynch, do you think there is anything I need to add to what I said?"
"What do you think of some of my thoughts?"
Lynch thought about it for a while, and after saying some opinions he did have a little bit, he said, "If you give you enough time, you will definitely become an amazing person, Mr. Hicks." /
This sentence suddenly made Hicks' heart fall. The Commonwealths don't like to go around in circles, but there are always some things that can't be avoided.
He then cautiously and tentatively asked, "Recently, there are some public opinions in society that seem to be trying to discredit me. I hope this will not affect your opinion of me."
Lynch's answer was still very "tuned", "A good person will always have many enemies and opponents, Hicks, let me give you a word: Sand can't hide gold, when the sun rises to the sky , there will always be golden light coming out'!"
"I believe that people will also realize as I do that rumors are just rumors after all. They are far from truth. They can only fool people for a while, but they can't fool people forever!"
A very positive answer, and after Hicks thanked him repeatedly, he hung up the phone.
Hicks nodded to the head of his campaign office, and both breathed a sigh of relief.
The entire Conservative Party hierarchy knew about it last night, and they didn't accuse Hicks of wasting party resources.
In fact, it is easier and more effective to find faults in other people during various elections than to find ways to improve yourself, and it is also very cheap!
Fabricating some facts, or selecting some from some previous rumors and then releasing them after processing, these methods are bad and low-cost, but the effect is very unusual!
Hicks is not the only one with problems in the Commonwealth. Almost most politicians don't have a clean ass, but he is very unlucky to meet an opponent he can't fight.
If this time his opponent is not Ms. Tracey, not Lynch, but some middle-level cadre of the Progressive Party, maybe the situation will be reversed.
Bowing your head and admitting defeat is not a shameful act in politics. As long as people don't die, politics will continue forever.
Today's failure does not mean tomorrow's failure will be the same, time is still long, there will always be a time to win.
Hicks has a good personality and is very charismatic. He lost this time but it was not devastating. He can continue to play next time.
Isn't it two years?
And they let it go this time, and Lynch should give them some face next time, which is also a kind of reward.
Lynch's reply reached the top of the Conservative Party, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, or solved some problems.
The Conservative chairman is back on the fairway, swinging his club hard.
In a gust of wind whistling, the golf ball was kicked out and flew far!
"Beautiful shot!" Not far from him stood another old man, who was not tall and bald.
He clapped his palms twice, perfunctory, then walked to the hitting position and waited for the caddie to put the golf ball back.
They don't play on the course, they play on fixed fairways.
Now that the weather has cooled down, keeping warm is also a necessary condition for the elderly to live longer.
They're here to avoid the wind and cold outside and get some exercise, which is great!
"You're hitting the ball more easily after you answered the phone just now. It seems to be good news." The old man who was preparing to hit the ball looked into the distance and said.
The chairman of the Conservative Party Committee wiped his sweat, walked to a chair next to him, sat down, picked up a cup and drank some water.
He crossed his legs and nodded, "Hicks's, you won!"
The batting old man was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "It wasn't me who won, it was the young people who won!"
He swung the club hard as he spoke, and the golf ball disappeared from their sight in an instant.
For the old people like them, the ball can't be seen after flying too far, and the caddie will tell them how many meters it has flown and so on.
So every shot is a good shot as long as it doesn't come off.
The purpose of the sport has **** the desire to pursue a "strike"!
The short old man turned to look at the chairman of the Conservative Party committee, "You have to admit that you are old, you know?"
"From now on, it will be the world of young people."
The chairman of the Conservative Party committee grunted, "But I've heard that Lynch is reluctant to go into politics, which may be good news for us."
The short old man got the distance he flew after hitting the ball from the caddie, and he was satisfied with the strength of his swing.
The caddie repositioned a golf ball, and he began to prepare for the shot again, saying, "But his girlfriend is in politics..."
This old man is none other than the chairman of the Progressive Party Committee. The two of them used to be students of the same university, and they had a very good relationship during the school.
Later, because of different political ideas, I joined different political parties, and after so many years of hard work, I finally stood at the top of the federation!
If there is anything in the Commonwealth that can surpass, or be on a par with, the capitalists, it must be them!
On the other hand, Hicks began to quickly organize a press conference to clarify some rumors in the society, and the local tax bureau proved that Mr. Hicks was not involved in any illegal cases, on the contrary, he provided detection Important evidence in the case!
Sometimes people's minds are very complicated. Obviously, it's just some simple phenomenon, and they can imagine that there is a behind-the-scenes manipulator who is frantically manipulating everything in this society!
They even believe that the top officials of the Federation are all aliens, and the purpose is to enslave them!
But sometimes they are very simple, for example, it is just a simple clarification, and they believe it!
Ms. Tracy also clearly realized that Lynch had already shot, and she also stood up and looked very friendly to show support for Hicks.
She told reporters in front of the media that Mr. Hicks she knew was a gracious gentleman, not a criminal.
She is very happy that Hicks can clear up her suspicions and clarify some issues, and believes that Mr. Hicks should stand up a few days earlier.
A reporter asked Ms. Tracey if she felt sorry for Mr. Hicks' clarification, since now she has lost her advantage.
Ms. Tracy's answer was very good. She said that it doesn't matter who wins the election. What matters is what the winner can do for people!
This is the most important thing. If you just run for election, fight and even fight to win the election, you will lose their original idea of wanting to enter politics - for the people's livelihood!
These remarks quickly boosted Ms. Tracey's approval rating ~IndoMTL.com~, but Hicks' approval rating is still a long way off.
Just when people thought there would be no follow-up, in mid-to-late October, Hicks was filmed alone going to the capital's famous psychiatrist's clinic, where he stayed for two hours.
Subsequently, a clinic staff broke the news that Mr. Hicks suffered from severe depression, which had affected his work and life.
This news is more explosive than the previous ones, but people are more tolerant of his problems because he did not make mistakes, just suffered from depression.
In addition to the previous criticism against him, the reason why he worked hard all these years is also part of the reason.
The military, lawyers, are high-intensity jobs and always face many problems.
In the face of this news, Hicks stood up very bravely and admitted to the society that he was taking psychotropic drugs.
He admitted that being a lawyer gave him a lot of pressure, and sometimes he had to defend some criminals because that was his job.
Behind every successful case, there is a heavy blow to the heart again and again, so serious that he begins to doubt the value and purpose of his own existence!
Now that his mental condition has become more serious, he intends to withdraw from this election and consider re-election after the depression has been resolved.
At the same time, he also expressed that he would quit his job as a lawyer and do something more pure.
For example... the prosecutor!
Of course, this is for the future!
