1231 This Is Politics

Hicks didn't sleep much all night, being unable to sleep was the key, until he fell asleep for a while before dawn.

He got up at a little after eight o'clock. There were a lot of rumors outside now, and there was everything.

Others say that his movements have been restricted and he may be thrown into jail at any time.

Some people also say that he was involved in tens of millions of dollars of money laundering, using his identity as a cover to launder large amounts of black money, and he also had very strong relationships with some gangs.

Others say he plans to make the state independent!

Of course, some people say that he actually doesn't have any problems and is not speaking out now just to let more clowns take the initiative to jump out.

In fact, the fact that there is no further news so far is not because Hicks is unwilling to defend himself, but simply because they need to find the "man behind the scenes" and then reach some deal with the man behind the scenes.

If he blindly clears his name and the people behind the scenes soon throw out more actual and effective evidence, it will only make people think that he is a liar and a fraudster, thus completely cutting off his political career.

But if he can reach an agreement with Lynch, then he will be cleared. If no further black material is exposed, he will be cleared.

Even if he loses the election in the end, at least he can keep his dignity and his political career!

Whitewashing and refutation are sometimes not that simple.

He stayed by the phone after waking up and called Lynch at around nine o'clock. This time Lynch did not hang up the phone or ask him to change the time.

He talked a lot about his political platform and governance philosophy on the phone. These are things that a politician must have, and he must have a clear-cut stand.

If it is not distinctive enough, it will definitely not be liked by people, which is very fatal.

This phone call looked like a very normal phone call. Hicks was describing his political stance and seemed to be hoping to get some support from Lynch. Even if the call was recorded and analyzed by people, they It is impossible to directly analyze the unfavorable parts of Lynch.

He just listened the whole time without expressing any opinions of his own 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 ideas?"

Lynch thought seriously for a while, and after saying some opinions that he did have some opinions on, he said, "If you are given enough time, you will definitely become a great person, Mr. Hicks."

This sentence suddenly made Hicks' heart fall to the ground. Federal people don't like to talk in circles, but there are always some things that cannot be avoided.

He then asked carefully and tentatively, "Recently, some public opinions in society seem to be trying to discredit me. I hope these will not affect your view of me."

Lynch's answer was still very "on point", "Excellent people will always have many enemies and opponents. Hicks, I will give you a sentence, 'Sand cannot bury gold. When the sun rises to the sky, there will always be gold. There is a golden light filling the air'!"

"I believe people will realize like me that rumors are just rumors after all. They are far from the truth. They can only fool people for a period of time, but they cannot fool people forever!"

A very positive answer, and then Hicks thanked him again and hung up the phone.

Hicks nodded to his campaign chief, and both men breathed a sigh of relief.

The entire senior Conservative Party knew about the incident last night, and they did not accuse Hicks of wasting party resources.

In fact, it is simpler, more effective, and cheaper to find faults in others than to find ways to improve yourself during various elections!

Fabricating some facts, or selecting some from some previous rumors and processing them before releasing them. These methods are bad and low-cost, but the effect they have is very extraordinary!

Hicks is not the only one with problems in the federation. Almost most politicians have dirty butts. It's just that he was very unlucky to encounter an opponent he couldn't fight against.

If this time his opponent is not Ms. Tracy or Lynch, but a middle-level cadre of the Progressive Party, perhaps the situation will be reversed again.

Bowing your head and admitting defeat is not a shameful behavior in politics. As long as people don't die, politics will continue.

Failure today does not mean failure tomorrow. Time is still long and there will always be a time to win.

Hicks has a good personality and is very charismatic. The loss this time was not devastating, and he can continue to win next time.

Isn’t it just two years?

And since they gave in this time, Lynch should more or less give them some face next time, which can be considered a kind of reward.

Lynch's reply reached the ears of the top leaders of the Conservative Party, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, or some of their worries were resolved.

The Conservative chairman was back on the fairway, swinging his club hard.

In a gust of wind, the golf ball was whipped hard and flew far away!

"Nice shot!" Not far from him stood another old man, short and somewhat bald.

He clapped his palms twice, very perfunctorily, then walked to the hitting position and waited for the caddy to put the golf ball back.

Instead of playing on a course, they played fixed fairways.

The weather has cooled down now, and keeping warm is also a necessary condition for the elderly to live longer.

Here they avoid the strong wind and cold weather outside, and they can get some exercise, which is great!

"You hit the ball more easily after answering the phone just now. It seems to be good news." The old man who was preparing to hit the ball said looking into the distance.

The chairman of the Conservative Committee wiped his sweat, walked to a chair nearby, sat down, picked up a cup and drank some water.

He crossed his legs and nodded, "Hicks, you win!"

The old man who hit the ball was stunned for a moment, and then laughed loudly, "I didn't win, it was the young people who won!"

As he spoke, he swung the club hard and the golf ball disappeared from their sight in an instant.

For old people like them, if the ball flies too far, they can't even see it. The caddy will tell them how many meters it flew.

So as long as you don't miss it, every shot is a good shot.

The purpose of sports has surpassed the desire to pursue a "good shot"!

The short old man turned and looked at the Chairman of the Conservative 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 committee snorted, "But I heard that Lynch is unwilling to enter politics, which may be good news for us."

The short old man got the distance his golf ball flew from his caddy and was pleased with the strength of his swing.

The caddy rearranged a golf ball, and he began to prepare for hitting the ball again. At the same time, he said, "But his girlfriend is entering politics..."

This old man is none other than the chairman of the Progressive Party Committee. The two of them were students at the same university and had a very good relationship while in school.

Later, due to 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 anyone in the Federation who can surpass or be on par with capitalists, then it must be them!

On the other side, 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 important information to solve the case. evidence!

Sometimes people's minds are very complicated, and even though it is just some simple phenomena, they can imagine that there is some mastermind behind the scenes that is crazily manipulating everything in this society!

They even believe that all high-level officials in the federation are aliens whose purpose is to enslave them!

But sometimes they are very simple, for example, it is just a simple clarification, and they believe it!

Ms. Tracey obviously realized that Lynch had already taken action, and she also stood up and seemed very friendly to support Hicks.

She told reporters in front of the media that she knew Mr Hicks as a classy gentleman, not a criminal.

She was very happy that Hicks could clear up the suspicion and clarify some issues, and believed that Mr. Hicks should have come forward a few days earlier.

A reporter asked Ms. Tracey if she regretted Mr. Hicks' clarification because now she had lost her advantage.

Ms. Tracey’s answer was great. 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 they campaign, fight or even fight just to win, they will have lost their original idea of ​​entering politics for the sake of people's livelihood!

These remarks quickly gave Ms. Tracey a significant boost in her approval ratings, but they were still some way off from matching Hicks's approval ratings.

Just when people thought there would be no further problems, in mid-to-late October, someone filmed Hicks going to a famous psychiatrist's clinic in the capital alone for treatment and staying for two hours before coming out.

Later, clinic staff revealed that Mr. Hicks suffered from severe depression, which had affected his work and life.

This news is more explosive than the previous news, but people are also more tolerant of the problems he encountered, because he did not make any mistakes, he just suffered from depression.

In addition to the previous condemnation of him, the reason is also part of the reason why he has worked so hard over the years.

The military and lawyers are all very demanding jobs and they always have to face many problems.

In the face of this news, Hicks bravely stood up and admitted to the society that he was taking psychotropic drugs.

He admitted that being a lawyer gave him a lot of pressure. Sometimes he had to defend some criminals because that was his job.

Behind every victory in the lawsuit, there were serious injuries to his soul again and again, so serious that he began to doubt the value and purpose of his own existence!

Now that his mental condition has become more serious, he plans to withdraw from this election and consider running again after his depression has resolved.

At the same time, he also said that he would quit his job as a lawyer and do something purer.

For example... prosecutor!

Of course, this is something for the future!
