Then let them show their loyalty!

Chapter 554: Slap the Shelter in the Face! ( words, asking for monthly votes)
As for the method of annexation, it is also very simple.

Not to mention Tianzhou and Dizhou. Qiu Tu was originally the garrison commander of the two states, occupying the main position and being able to make personnel arrangements and adjustments at will.

Except for positions above Speaker, he cannot make his own decisions legally.

Almost all other people, including senior officials of various cities, members of state legislatures, and deputy speakers, can be decided by his single word.

However, in Dongye Province and Xinzhou, he did not have such great legal power.

But the eight vice speakers of Xinzhou and Dongyezhou are: Tang Feifei, Yudie, Liu Xiongyuan, Dai Yukang, Yan Chen, Guo Huai, Ye Mingfeng and Li Tingdong.

Among the 8 people, Qiu Tu's die-hard supporters have 4 votes. Yan Chen and Guo Huai are now leaning towards Qiu Tu.

So out of 8 people, Qiu Tu had 6 votes.

With the position of Speaker vacant, Qiu Tu was in control of the Speaker's Conference, the highest authority, and could start making arrangements through his own trusted aides.

Moreover, compared to when he just took office as the Speaker of Dongye State Assembly, Qiu Tu's prestige in the four states has almost reached the highest level after accumulating prestige and having amazing political and military achievements during this period.

Coupled with the muscle show of Pang Haichen's bizarre death this time, he began to act more domineeringly.

With his trusted followers who were trained and selected through the "loyalty" game in the past few months, he still has sufficient talent reserves.

Therefore, except for a group of neutral (loyalty 30-40) but capable middle and senior managers, all other middle and senior managers with loyalty below 30 or insufficient ability were replaced by his own people.

Although this is worthwhile from the perspective of the long-term development of the four states, it did affect the development of two states in the short term. So both the states and the shelters have some complaints.
Shelter 8. The home of Hu Jie, the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party.

The leader of the "Local Armed Forces Alliance", Lei Lao San, sat there with his knuckles knocking on the table!

He said to Hu Jie with a gloomy face, "This is simply too much!"

"Qiu Tu has simply treated the four states as his home! He doesn't even bother pretending!"

"Without any reason, he privately carried out such a large-scale personnel adjustment without even reporting it. Does he really take the shelter seriously?"

Lei Laosan is a typical soldier. He looks dark and rough. Even though he holds a high position and holds great power, his nature has not changed and he still looks like a bandit.

Compared to him, Hu Jie was obviously much more elegant. His cheeks were thin, a bit like a goat, and his eyes were shining, which made him look a bit shrewd.

Hearing what Lei Lao San said, Hu Jie's eyes moved slightly, and then he said, "Lao Lei, do you feel that this matter is a bit strange?"

Lei Laosan's eyes widened as he stared at Hu Jie, then asked, "What's weird?"

Hearing his words, Hu Jie, the head of the "Freedom and Democracy Department", touched his chin, thought quietly for a moment, and then said carefully, "I can't say."

“It just feels like Rao Shou and Tang Wanfeng acted too calmly in this matter.”

He looked at Lei Lao San and said, "Don't forget, Qiu Tu was supported by them both."

"We said we would suppress Qiu Tu, and they did?"

"Isn't this a little too simple?"

After hearing Hu Jie's words, Lei Laosan touched his bald head and thought carefully.

Although he is a rough man, he has brains.

Not to mention that Rao Shou was able to agree, it was indeed beyond his expectations.

But Tang Wanfeng didn't agree at that time.

And then combine the relationship between Qiu Tu, Tang Wanfeng and Rao Shou.

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Maybe there are some conflicts and disagreements between Lao Rao and Lao Tang."

"After all, although Qiu Tu was supported by the two of them, he is actually just Old Tang's son-in-law. He has nothing to do with Old Rao."

"Qiu Tu's development can indeed help the two of them. But if he develops too fast, Lao Rao will also be wary."

"So, he turned to support us and wanted to put pressure on Qiu Tu. Then he would untie Qiu Tu."

"This is how you can win Qiu Tu's heart."

After hearing what Lei Lao San said, Hu Jie pondered silently for a moment, then nodded hesitantly, "It's possible."

He said, "But now Qiu Tu obviously hasn't realized that he has been tricked by Rao Shou."

"He's still waiting for Rao Shou and Tang Wanfeng to support him."

At this point, his eyes lit up, and then he smiled and said to Lei Lao San, "By the way, I remember that Shao Jie from your "Local Armed Alliance" has always been capable and has good political achievements."

"The last time he competed with Qiu Tu for the Speaker of the New South Wales State Assembly, they were only one vote behind."

"Now the speaker positions of four states, namely Dongye State, Xinzhou State, Tianzhou State and Dizhou State, are vacant. I wonder if we can transfer him to Dongye State to be the speaker?"

Shao Jie's father was originally the second-in-command of the "Local Armed Alliance". However, because he was too arrogant and unscrupulous, he was called out by Rao Shou to retire. (Chapter 489)
But his political resources were left to his two sons: Shao Jie and Shao Gang.

Shao Jie is now a member of the Sanctuary Military Committee and the Supreme Council.

Shao Gang was the head of the military department of Qiming City, Dongye Prefecture. He had always been dissatisfied with Qiu Tu. In the job adjustment a few days ago, he was dismissed by Qiu Tu and thrown back to the shelter.

This further escalated the conflict between the Shao family and Qiu Tu.

Now, if Shao Jie is arranged to be the speaker of Dongye Prefecture, it will not only allow Shao Jie to go a step further and further expand the power of the "Local Armed Alliance", but also cause trouble for Qiu Tu.

After all, once Dongye Province had a Speaker, Qiu Tu, who only had legal authority over Tian and Di Provinces, would suddenly have no reason or excuse to interfere in Dongye Province.

At that time, Shao Jie will arrange Shao Gang back to Dongye Prefecture. With Shao Gang's help, Shao Jie will no longer be completely in the dark in Dongye Prefecture, but can have a clear judgment and understanding.

Using the Shao family to deal with Qiu Tu can be said to be a brilliant move.

Sure enough, after hearing Hu Jie's words, Lei Laosan's hand that was touching his head began to slow down.

He stroked his head slowly, his eyes flickering.

After a moment, he raised his head and looked at Hu Jie in front of him, "That's great. We can also test whether Lao Rao really wants to suppress Qiu Tu."

Upon hearing this, Hu Jie smiled and nodded.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room became relaxed.
After half an hour.

Rao Shou listened to what Lei Lao San said on the phone and said with a smile, "Let Shao Jie go to Dongye Prefecture?"

“It’s really interesting.”

After that, he said, "In that case, let's hold a meeting this afternoon and ask for everyone's opinions."

It is indeed a turbulent time for Shelter 8, and the meetings of several leaders have become more frequent.

It is normal to discuss the personnel affairs of the four states and hold a summit meeting.

So, several leaders soon gathered together in Mr. Rao’s house.

Only top leaders could hold positions like the Garrison Commander of Two States, and since Pang Haichen had passed away, the position would no longer be added.

Therefore, the topic of discussion at the meeting was the speakers of the four states.

In order to complete this plan more smoothly, Lei Laosan and Hu Jie took "dividing the fruits" and "separation" to the extreme.

In their proposal, the four state speakers were: Shao Jie of the "Local Armed Forces Alliance" as the speaker of Dongye State, Tang Feifei of the "Fengtian Faction" as the speaker of Xinzhou State, and Ye Mingfeng of Rao Shou's "Iron Blood Faction" as the speaker of Tianzhou State.

Because Liu Xiongyuan and Qiu Tu were too close, Liu Xiongyuan was not proposed as the speaker of the local state assembly. Instead, another senior member of the "reform faction" was proposed to be the speaker of the local state assembly.

Among the five major factions, only the "Liberal Democratic Faction" did not have a speaker, so Hu Jie took the opportunity to propose two backbones of his own faction to take over the positions of Tang Feifei and Ye Mingfeng.

It can be said that after the meeting, all factions benefited, except Qiu Tu.

Once this appointment is approved, Qiu Tu's influence and prestige in the four states will reach rock bottom.

If Qiu Tu opposed the appointment, he would offend the five major factions of the shelter and might have a grudge against his subordinates who were to be promoted. So he was stuck in two directions.

Everyone present was experienced and wise, so of course they saw through everything.

But strangely, the ticket shape is still the same as last time.

Lei Laosan and Hu Jie were the first to raise their hands, followed by Rao Shou. Tang Wanfeng opposed, and then Wang Guochuan, who had contact with Qiu Tu, abstained from voting.

Therefore, the proposal was passed with 4 votes in favor, 1.5 votes against, and 1 abstention.

This result is more in line with the psychological expectations of Lei Laosan and Hu Jie.

If everyone agrees, they will feel something is wrong.

As the garrison commander of two states, Qiu Tu was already a top figure, and both Tianzhou and Dizhou were under Qiu Tu's jurisdiction. So after the proposal was passed, it was sent to Dizhou and Qiu Tu's hands on the same day.

Because many people were involved, after the proposal reached Qiu Tu, the news gradually spread.

When they learned that the shelter had arranged four speakers at once, and two of them were parachuted in, and one was not Qiu Tu's confidant, the middle and high-level officials of the four states immediately felt that this proposal was a bit subtle.

It probably represents a certain tendency of the shelter, and it is a bad tendency.

However, after seeing the proposal, Qiu Tu was stunned for a moment, and then after looking at the ticket shape, he laughed and cursed.
"Two old foxes."

After cursing, Qiu Tu did not do any other useless work.

He only did two things.

The first thing he did was to call Ye Mingfeng and then have a closed-door conversation with him for half an hour.

The second thing was to draw a big "X" directly on the faxed proposal!
The next day, Ye Mingfeng was stripped of his military power and returned to the shelter with 100 personal soldiers and the proposal with a "cross" on it.

Seeing Ye Mingfeng returning to the shelter in such a disheveled state, the shelter's top management were shocked.

So, not long after Qiu Tu received the appointment proposal, he dismissed Ye Mingfeng's military power and drove him out of Dongyezhou. The news spread throughout the shelter!

Shelter, the residence of Lei Laosan.

Because the incident happened so suddenly, Lei Laosan and Hu Jie met again that night for a secret talk at Lei Laosan's home.

"It's really lawless! Lawless!"

Lei Lao San slammed the table, his eyes bloodshot, "This is simply a rebellion!"

"He dared to oppose what the leaders of the shelter decided? What right did he have to oppose it?!"

Hu Jie frowned as he held the proposal with a "cross" on it.

He said, "Qiu Tu's decision was indeed to choose the worst option among the middle option, the worst option, and the worst option."

"He opposed the summit's proposal and sent people back. Was he trying to openly confront the shelter?"

Hearing his words, Lei Lao San snorted coldly, "It is obvious that he is used to being bold and reckless. He really thinks that the land of the four states is his."

And just as the two were saying this.

Suddenly, Hu Jie's secretary rushed in from outside with a document.

When he saw Hu Jie and Lei Laosan, he bowed and quickly handed the documents to Hu Jie.

Hu Jie took the document in surprise, and then heard the secretary say, "Mr. Hu, this was just sent over by Mr. Rao. It's said to be... it's said to be..."

The secretary hesitated and didn't say anything, obviously finding it difficult to say.

But at this point, Hu Jie no longer needed his explanation, because the document didn't have many words and could be scanned at a glance.

There is just a simple title and a dozen words on it.

The title reads "Candidates for Speakers of the Four Eastern States."

Below are four names: Tang Feifei from Dongye Prefecture, Yudie from Xinzhou, Liu Xiongyuan from Tianzhou, and Dai Yukang from Dizhou.

When Hu Jie saw those four names, his face suddenly turned ashen!

Seeing Hu Jie's expression, Lei Lao San couldn't help but ask in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"

Hu Jie threw the document in his hand violently and handed it to Lei Lao San angrily, "Look."

Lei Laosan took the document from Hu Jie's hand, glanced at it, and his expression changed drastically!

He stood up suddenly, his eyes wide open, "Crazy! Crazy! Does he think that the land of four states is his home?"

"The four speakers are all his trusted followers? What does he want to do?!"

In the end, he hadn't finished speaking yet.

The next second, his secretary also came hurriedly from outside.

This time, his secretary looked even worse. Not only was he pale, but he was also sweating profusely.

The secretary ran to the two of them and bowed quickly and said, "This was sent from Mr. Lei, Mr. Hu, and Mr. Rao."

When Lei Laosan heard what his secretary said, he raised the documents in his hand, waved his hand nonchalantly, and said sullenly, "You are done. Mr. Hu has already taken them."

Hearing what Lei Lao San said, his secretary quickly shook his head, "No, Lei Lao. It's the third document."

"The third one?" Lei Laosan and Hu Jie were stunned.

The first document was a fax of the proposal marked with a “X” by Qiu Tu.

The second document is the four candidates for speaker proposed by Qiu Tu just now.

Now there is a third document? What is that?
Thinking of this, Lei Laosan snatched the document from his secretary.

Then he took a quick look and his face changed drastically.

Seeing this, Hu Jie stood up, walked to his side, and took a look as well.

The next second, his expression changed suddenly.

It’s no wonder that their expressions changed, because the third document was a "self-application letter".

Qiu Tu requested to be the governor of the four states of Dongye, Xin, Tian and Di, and recommended himself as the vice-chairman of the Supreme Council of the 8th Sanctuary to attend the summit meeting.

In order to demonstrate his capabilities, Qiu Tu will hold a grand military exercise in the four states of Dongye and invite five leaders to attend the military review.

At that time, the 6th-level great evil god Zhao Ji and some high-level catastrophic creatures conquered by Qiu Tu will attend the military exercise.

When they saw this letter of self-application, both Lei Laosan and Hu Jie felt a chill down their spines and their eyes widened.

This is not a petition, it is a naked demonstration!
If Qiu Tu killed Pang Haichen thousands of miles away just to show off his muscles, then this "letter of self-request" was a dignified display of his sword!

And at the same time.

In Rao Shou's courtyard, Rao Shou was still fishing with great interest. While fishing, he said to Tang Wanfeng who was sitting beside him nonchalantly,
"After playing too many political tricks, many people forget that the military is an extension of politics and is also a part of politics."

“When it is impossible to destroy the enemy politically, physical destruction is equally effective.”

"If Qiu Tu wants to become the head of the shelter, he can't rely on us to carry him in."

"Don't see blood, don't show any demonstrations, don't let people know that he really dares to overturn the table. Even if we make him the leader, how many people are really afraid of him and respect him?"

"Will what he said be useful in the shelter?"

"To convince others, or to scare them away, this is the real way to become a leader!"
