NOVEL WEB Chapter 654 Voting
The Kenney Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., today welcomed the most popular opera Cats in recent times, thus attracting a large number of spectators.
But what these audiences don't know is that in addition to this opera, there is also a good show that will be performed at the Kendini Performing Arts Center today. A big drama about who will lead Hydra in the coming days as the leader of an organization with tentacles all over the world.
"Boss, we're here," outside the Kennyney Performing Arts Center, a pair of motorcades were led by staff to the parking area. The car doors opened, and Gin opened the door and said to Anthony who was sitting in the car.
"Well, have you got the stuff?" Anthony asked as he got out of the car and took the cane from Gin's hand.
"Already got it," Gin said, taking out a box and opening it, revealing contact lenses and Bluetooth headsets that had always looked unremarkable.
"very good."
Knowing that since it had been obtained in advance, Gin must have checked it based on his level of caution. So Anthony casually took the glasses into his hand and put them into one of his eyes. At the same time, the Bluetooth headset was also inserted into Anthony's ears.
"Let's go, I heard this opera is good, but I want to take a good look." After doing all this, Anthony did not stay there for long. After saying hello, he entered the Kennedy Center surrounded by his subordinates.
At the same time, in addition to Anthony, there were several big figures from all walks of life who asked their most trusted subordinates to even go to a ticket office in person to get the already reserved tickets together with a small box. And this small box also contained something identical to what Anthony had in his hand.
As people poured in, more than 2,700 seats in the Kennedy Center for the Arts were quickly filled. Then the opera officially began, attracting everyone's attention to the stage.
At this time, in a room usually used to store props in the art center, a man dressed as a staff member walked in. After looking around calmly, he opened a secret door and entered the room. Inside the secret door.
And inside the secret door, in a heavily guarded room, there is a bunch of machines that are no less inferior to those owned by some top scientific research institutions, and they are monitoring the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, especially those in and out of the concert hall. Surveillance screen in the corner, as well as some technical staff.
"How is it?" The person who came in looked around at the various monitoring screens, and then asked one of the technicians who was operating these instruments.
"The machine communication channel has been tested for the last time, the suspected rats have been cleared, and the meeting can be officially started," the technician reported.
"Check again," the person who came in pondered for a moment and then continued, "If there is no problem, the meeting mode will officially start in 5 minutes."
"Understood," the technician nodded and continued to use technical means to search for every suspicious point in the surveillance screen.
Soon, five minutes passed, and the technician started the conference mode as scheduled. As the mode turned on, a pair of virtual projection images invisible to others began to appear on the contact lens Anthony was wearing, and sounds began to come from the inconspicuous earphone next to his ear.
"Elites of Hydra, welcome to take advantage of your busy schedule to attend today's important meeting that will determine the future direction of our Hydra."
As the sound came, the projection screen continued to expand in the shape of particles, and soon a semicircular conference room was formed. In this semicircular conference room, there were a total of ten people. There were six seats, and then each one's face could not be seen clearly, and the vague figures appeared on the seats one after another. Anthony, of course, is among them.
In the center of the area surrounded by the semicircular conference room, there was also a blurry figure whose face could not be seen clearly. The words just now came from this blurry figure. Apparently, this was the person responsible for hosting the meeting.
Perhaps they knew that Anthony and others had no time to waste on this, so with a few polite words, the person in charge of hosting went directly to the topic, which was to select the person who could take over Alexander Pierce's position among the many candidates.
The selection method is also very simple, that is, sixteen candidates are voted on, and the final winner is the person who succeeds Alexander Pierce.
But to be honest, this method that sounds very simple is not easy to actually implement. After all, the candidates who can become candidates are basically the leaders of Hydra. I want them to vote for others. There is no Don't even think about the benefits that can make their hearts flutter.
Moreover, Hydra works very hard on keeping secrets, even internally. Except for the line related to one's own scope of authority, people on other lines are usually unfamiliar. Even if they meet each other on a daily basis, most of them are through phone calls, the Internet, etc. Therefore, even if someone is willing to spend a lot of money and offer benefits that make the other party excited, the other party must be willing to expose their identity or find out the identity of other people.
The most important thing is that because it is an elimination system, unless someone can get more than half of the votes in a voting mechanism, that is, 9 votes. Otherwise, only the winner will advance to the next round, and others will continue to vote, starting with 16 from 8, then 8 from 4, and so on.
To put it simply, even if one of them gets eight votes in the first round of voting, he will only get one of the 1 out of 16 places. It is necessary to compete with the rest of the people selected according to voting order, even those who only got two votes, in an 8-to-8 competition.
Therefore, according to this method of deciding the outcome, no matter how many resources other candidates except Anthony have, they cannot afford to waste it on this.
"Then everyone, let's start the first voting. Please cast your vote within three minutes. The timer starts now."
This type of voting in the elimination system is obviously not something that can be done in one or two votes. After all, if it is like the first round of voting, and the eight voting places for the next round are not available for a long time, we don’t know how many times it will be done. vote. The opera outside was not long, so there was no more nonsense. The rules were announced, and the person responsible for presiding over the meeting left time for the thirteen candidates.
And the secret battle for the leader of the American Hydra will also officially begin.
