Chapter 1231 This Is Politics

Hicks didn't sleep much all night, the inability to fall asleep was the key, until he fell asleep for a while at dawn.

He got up a little after eight o'clock, and now there are many rumors outside, saying everything.

Others said that his movements have been restricted, and he may be thrown into prison anytime and anywhere.

Some people also said that he was involved in money laundering at the tens of millions level, using his identity as a cover to launder a lot of black money, and he also had a very strong relationship with some gangs.

Others say he intends to make the state independent!

Of course, some people say that he actually has no problems, and that he is not speaking out now, just to let more clowns jump out on their own initiative.

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

If he blindly washes his whitewashing, and soon the black hand behind the scenes throws out more actual and effective evidence, it will only make people think he is a liar, a fraudster, and thus completely cut off his political career.

But if he can reach an agreement with Lynch, then he will be whitewashed, and if there is no further exposure of black material, he will also be whitewashed.

Even if he lost the election in the end, at least he kept his face and his political career!

Whitewashing and refuting are sometimes not that simple.

He stayed by the phone after he woke up, 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 about his political platform and governance philosophy on the phone. These are all things that a politician must have, and he must have a clear-cut stand.

If it is not clear 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 narrating his political stance, and seemed to hope to get some support from Lynch, even though the call was recorded and analyzed by people. It is also unlikely to directly analyze the unfavorable part of Lynch.

He just listened the whole time and didn't express any point of view until the end.

"Mr. Lynch, do you think there is something to add to what I said?"

"What do you think of some of my ideas?"

Lynch thought carefully for a while, and after saying something that he did have a point of view, he said, "If you are given enough time, you will definitely become a remarkable person, Mr. Hicks."

This sentence made Hicks' heart drop. Federal people don't like to go around in circles, but there are always some things that cannot be avoided.

He then asked cautiously, "Recently some public opinions in the society seem to be trying to discredit me. I hope these will not affect your opinion of me."

Lynch's answer is still very "key", "Excellent people will always have many enemies and opponents, Hicks, let me give you a word'Sand can't bury gold, when the sun rises to the sky, there will always be There is golden light filling out'!"

"I believe people will realize as much as I do that rumors are just rumors after all, and they are far from the truth. They can only fool people for a while, but they cannot fool people forever!"

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

Hicks nodded to his campaign chief, and both were relieved.

The entire top Conservative Party knew about it last night and they did not accuse Hicks of wasting party resources.

In fact, it is easier and more effective to find faults from others than to find ways to improve yourself during various general elections, 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 they play is very extraordinary!
Hicks is not the only one with problems in the Commonwealth. Almost most politicians have dirty buttocks. It's just that he was very unlucky to meet an opponent he couldn't fight against.

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

Lowering 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 that tomorrow will also fail, the time is still long, and there is always a time to win.

Hicks has a good personality and is very charismatic. This time he lost but it was not devastating. He can continue to win next time.

Isn't it just two years?

And they passed this time, and Lynch should give them some face next time, which can be regarded as a reward.

Lynch's reply reached the ears of the senior Conservative Party, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, or solved some problems.

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

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

"Beautiful shot!", Not far from him stood another old man, not tall, a little bald.

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

They didn't play on the course, but on fixed fairways.

Now that the weather has cooled down, keeping warm is also a necessary condition for the elderly to live longer.

They are here to avoid the wind and cold outside, but also get exercise, which is very good!
"You hit the ball more easily after you answered the phone just now, which 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 Party Committee wiped his sweat, went to a chair beside him and sat down, picked up a glass and drank some water.

He crossed his legs and nodded his head, "Hicks, you won!"

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

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

For the old people like them, it is impossible to see the ball after flying too far, and the caddy will tell them how many meters it has flown and so on.

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

The purpose of the sport has trumped the desire to pursue the "strike"!

Mr. Delphi 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 snorted twice, "But I heard that Lynch is unwilling to enter politics, which may be good news for us."

Mr. Delphi was pleased with the power of his swing after hearing from his caddy how far he flew.

The caddy rearranged a golf ball, and he began to prep 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 were once students at the same university, and they had a very good relationship during their school days.

Later, because of different political ideas, he joined different political parties, and after so many years of hard work, he finally stood at the top of the federation!

If there is anything in the federation that can surpass the capitalists, or stand alongside the capitalists, then it must be them!

On the other hand, Hicks began to quickly organize press conferences to clarify some social rumors, and the local tax bureau proved that Mr. Hicks was not involved in any illegal cases. On the contrary, he provided important information for solving the cases. evidence!

Sometimes people's minds are very complicated, and they can imagine that there is some black hand behind the scenes who is crazily manipulating everything in this society, even though it is just some simple phenomena!
They even believed that the top leaders of the Federation were all aliens, and the purpose was to enslave them!
But sometimes they are very simple, for example, if they just make a simple clarification, they will believe it!

Ms. Tracy obviously also realized that Lynch had finished his shot, and she also stood up and looked very friendly and showed her support for Hicks.

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

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

A reporter asked Ms. Trish if she would feel sorry for Mr. Hicks' clarification, because now she has lost her advantage.

Ms. Tracy's answer was very good. She said that it doesn't matter who wins the election. The important thing is that the person who wins the election can do for people!
This is the most important thing. If they only run for election, fight or even fight for the sake of winning the election, then they will lose their original idea of ​​wanting to be in politics - for the people's livelihood!
These speeches quickly gave Ms. Tracy a noticeable boost in her ratings, though Hicks is still a ways off.

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

Later, 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 news, but people are also more tolerant of his problems, because he did not make a mistake, but suffered from depression.

In addition to the previous denunciations against him, part of the reason is his hard work over the years.

The military, lawyers, are high-intensity jobs and always face a lot of problems.

Facing the news this time, 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. Sometimes he had to defend some criminals because that was his job.

Behind every successful case, there are serious injuries to the 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 re-election after his depression problem has resolved.

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

Like... Prosecutor!

Of course, that's for later!
