Father Mavie

Chapter 753 The New Cabinet

August 8, 3 Downing Street.

The Prime Minister's Residence welcomes its new owner.

Early in the morning, Mavey put on a clean suit, tie, and bowler hat, and left home with Yunia.

The carriage was swaying as it drove through the streets of London. The battles of the past few days had ended, but they had left indelible scars. It was unknown how long it would take to completely repair them.

The most severely damaged was Buckingham Palace. The newly restored palace was in a mess, with ruins everywhere. Even the lawn of the garden was full of craters. Craftsmen were carefully filling them. This was a long project.

Strictly speaking, No. 10 Downing Street is not the Prime Minister's official residence, but the residence of the First Minister of Finance. Since the Prime Minister also serves as the First Minister of Finance, it is called the Prime Minister's Official Residence.

In the early morning, the ancient Downing Street was filled with light mist and there were few pedestrians. The carriage was parked on the side of the road. A bodyguard stepped forward to open the door and said respectfully: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, welcome to No. 10 Downing Street. I am David, your assistant.”

What caught David's eye was not Mavi, but Yunia, who was holding a stuffed bear and wearing a white dress.

Yunia jumped off the carriage, smiled at the man, and immediately ran towards the black door with the number '10' engraved with silver paint in front of her. The guard guarding the door opened it in time, just as Yunia was about to step in. While there, a shout came from behind.

"Emma, ​​come here."

Yunia braked, turned around and ran back to Ma Wei. Seeing him walking towards the next door, she asked curiously: "Dad, why don't we go in?"

"Although No. 10 Downing Street is the official residence of the Prime Minister, it does not require the Prime Minister to live there. In the past half century, this official residence has been in a semi-abandoned state. It used to be used for meetings or offices, but now."

Ma Wei glanced at the office building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which was newly built in the past two years across the street, and said: "The opposite side is much more luxurious than here. Not only does it have an open-air garden, but also a cabinet meeting room. Who would want to be in the narrow and dark 10 Downing Street? Where is the office?"

In addition, there is another very important reason that Ma Wei did not elaborate on.

That is, since half a century ago, No. 10 Downing Street has always been an ominous symbol. The two prime ministers who lived there were both assassinated.

Ma Wei has experienced many assassinations. He is not afraid of assassinations, but simply does not like the style of No. 10 Downing Street, a century-old building. He would rather live in a fully renovated grocery store.

It is not unusual for a Prime Minister to refuse to live in No. 10 Downing Street. The former Prime Minister Winston did not live in No. 10 Downing Street. He just worked in the office in No. 9 next door.

Ma Wei stood in front of No. 9 Downing Street, and all the staff of the Privy Council Office were waiting for the arrival of the new Prime Minister.

After sorting out his clothes and handing the suitcase to his assistant David, Mavey slowly took off his hat, took Yunia's little hand, and walked into the open door.

"Your Excellency, I am David, David Bellomo, Clerk of the Privy Council."

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, I am Cindy Coyle, your secretary"

As soon as he entered the door, many people came up to greet him warmly. Ma Wei responded one by one and shook hands with them. Some of them disdainfully came forward and stood in the distance and watched coldly.

Noticing the many indifferent onlookers, Mawe called David and asked, "Who are they?"

"They were the confidants of former Prime Minister Winston," David replied.

"Oh."

Ma Wei nodded: "Transfer them to other departments."

The room immediately became much quieter. No one expected that the first thing Ma Wei did when he came was to fire the confidant of the former prime minister.

This is a bit narrow-minded.

“The cabinet does need more voices, but we don’t need voices that are emotional, biased, and hostile!”

Ma Wei said in a deep voice: "Prejudice will make us lose justice, hatred will make us lose our reason, and emotions will affect our judgment!"

"But how can you be sure that we must have emotions, prejudices and hostility?" Someone asked: "You are prejudice in itself!"

"Oh, my boy, I'm not being biased, just in case."

Ma Wei stared into the speaker's eyes and said word for word: "I am the Prime Minister. I am responsible for the kingdom and the people. Any factors that may cause unexpected situations must be eliminated, right?"

After finishing speaking, Mawei said to David: "Please ask them to leave within today."

"Yes, Prime Minister."

After what had just happened, the atmosphere in the room seemed a bit solemn. Most of them had worked under the previous Prime Minister. Some were afraid that they would be affected, and some were afraid of Ma Wei's too harsh methods. Who Everyone knows that this new prime minister is not a good person.

Yes
How could the great man who single-handedly helped the second prince ascend to the throne be a good person?

In just over half a year, he transformed from an unknown businessman to the Prime Minister of the Kingdom, became the leading rich man in London, and established a huge potion empire. This kind of person...
Eating people won't spit out bones.

Not to mention he is only 27 years old!
Seeing the different expressions of the people around him, Ma Wei smiled: "Speaking of which, I also brought you gifts Yannick!"

Edward walked in from the door holding a pile of boxes. The red boxes were decorated with ribbons and were extremely beautiful. Mavey picked up a red box and handed it to Cindy beside him, saying, "This is from Manstein Potion Company." New products, the beauty potion, can make your skin smoother after taking it, and there is also an eyebrow pencil made from black horned ox bones, which also contains indigo and Tyrian purple, which can make your eyebrows grow more vigorously."

Cindy's eyes lit up when she heard that it was a new product from Manstein's Potion Company. Who doesn't know that Manstein's Potion Company is the leader in the potion industry?

The new product they launched is now the most popular product on the market!

As for indigo, Tyrian purple, and black horned cattle bones, they are all extremely expensive noble materials!
"Thank you Prime Minister!"

Cindy took the gift in surprise, and Mavey picked up a brown box and handed it to David, who was the first to greet her: "This is also a new product of Manstein Potion Company, launched jointly with the church, and has added After drinking the dragon's blood oral liquid, a man can be energetic and eliminate fatigue. Don't drink too much, otherwise you will get angry and have nosebleeds. Two bottles a day is enough."

After receiving the gift, everyone's feelings towards Ma Wei immediately improved a lot. It seemed that they were not as cold as before, and the smiles on their faces became gentler!

In the office on the second floor, Mawei has an expensive leather chair specially customized for the Prime Minister. It is soft and comfortable and will not cause back pain after sitting for a long time. Yunia likes it very much. Sitting on it looks like a little adult.

Cindy opened the curtains, gray light illuminated the room, and cold air blew in from the window. Former Prime Minister Winston was a smoker, and he never left his hand with cigars. He had to open all the windows for ventilation, but Ma Wei did not smoke. Not only did he not Smoking, but not drinking.

Every prime minister has his or her own hobbies, and Mavey is no exception. When Cindy asked, he just took out a few gold pounds and asked Cindy to go to the candy shop on the corner to buy some for making candies. Dried mint leaves, and bought some chocolates, fruit candies and other snacks for Yunia, and invited the staff of No. 9 Downing Street to drink coffee, including the guards outside the door.

After doing this, Ma Wei stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the office building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs opposite, and suddenly said: "About the candidates for the new cabinet members, the Mayor of London, and the Chief of Police of Scotland Yard." Wei and Cindy were shocked, and quickly asked the scribe David to pick up a pen and paper and record Ma Wei's words word for word.

"After careful consideration, I sincerely invite the leader of the Labor Party, Sean Rickman, to join the cabinet as Home Secretary; invite the leader of the Democratic Party, Freya Chevalley, to join the cabinet as the newly created department - Minister of Social Affairs; invite the Northern Member of Parliament Party leader Russell Benjamin joins the cabinet as industry secretary."

One name after another came out of Ma Wei's mouth. David, the scribe, wrote quickly, leaving regular ink marks on the paper.

After reading a dozen names in a row, Ma Wei stopped, threw a mint leaf into his mouth and continued: "Mayor of London, through interviews, I think the Marquis of Swansea is a good candidate. The Chief of Police of Scotland Yard can be Deputy Director Nelson will serve as deputy director, and at the same time, elites will be drawn from all over the kingdom to fill the vacancies. This is the candidate I have decided on. Everyone, please write to inform them immediately."

"Yes!"

No. 9 Downing Street suddenly became busy. Some were busy drafting letters and sending them out, while others were busy taking notes. The establishment of a new cabinet can be big news, but the news cannot be leaked before it is officially formed.

Baron Frederic received the letter, and Marvey invited him to join the cabinet as a representative of the Liberal Party. This is not surprising. Although the Prime Minister has the right to choose cabinet members, appoint ministers, and dissolve Parliament, he also needs to obtain cabinet members and parliament. If you don't get support, let the parliament initiate a vote of no confidence, and you will have no choice but to step down.

In order to gain the support of the parties, the prime minister must invite representatives of each party into the cabinet to disperse power. Only in this way can the cabinet gain the unanimous support of the parliament.

It is worth mentioning that if the prime minister does not receive the support of the parliament, he can forcibly dissolve the parliament and cabinet and hold a new election.

Under normal circumstances, the result of the re-election will not be much different from the previous one. The no-confidence vote will still be conducted. Once passed, the prime minister must resign and step down.

Therefore, it is rare for a prime minister to dissolve parliament and hold a general election.

In addition to Baron Frederick, Mavey also invited representatives from several major parties such as the Conservative Party, the Welsh Party, and the Democratic Party to join the cabinet, including former cabinet members Oswald Mosley and Monte Ferguson.

Even if the Grand Prince's coup failed, it did not affect the status of Conservative MPs, and Mavey did not initiate re-election.

Seeing the list, the second prince readily agreed and even clapped his hands.

In his eyes, Mawei's cabinet candidates and ministers were very fair.

The Labor Party has now become the third largest party in Parliament and should enter the cabinet. This is inevitable. Even Winston Churchill would do so. As for arranging the position of Home Secretary for Sean Rickman, this is very delicate. .

The Home Secretary's responsibilities include public security, crime fighting, counter-terrorism, citizenship rights and identity registration. It is the fourth most important position after the Prime Minister, Finance and Foreign Affairs. It sounds very important, but in fact, it puts a shackles on the Labor Party.

If the Labor Party continues to call for workers to march, maintaining law and order will be a problem for the Home Secretary. If the march cannot be suppressed, then it will cause trouble for you, the Home Secretary. On the contrary, if the march can be suppressed, wouldn't it be better?

Just like two magnets with positive and positive poles, no matter how hard you apply force, they will repel each other!
With this alone, the second prince was completely relieved of Ma Wei.

The reason is very simple. Currently, the only threat to the second prince is the Labor Party. As long as Mavey targets the Labor Party, it means that he is safe. Even if Mavey really has different intentions as Baron Frederick said, he will not treat him as the king. Cause harm!

After thinking through this logic, the second prince trusted Ma Wei even more.

National Trade Council representative Oswald Mosley sat up all night.

Before the coup, he was the eldest prince's most loyal supporter.

After the coup, he began to think about his future.

The eldest prince died and the second prince succeeded to the throne. The situation has changed. If nothing else happens, the Liberal Party will rule the world in the next few decades!
'Staying in the Conservative Party does not seem like a wise decision'

After receiving the invitation letter from No. 9 Downing Street, Mosley finally made his choice. He asked his servants to prepare a carriage and arrived at No. 9 Downing Street as quickly as possible. He was also the first to come to Downing Street. Cabinet members on the 9th.

Mavey was a little surprised when he heard that Mosley had arrived. You must know that the position he assigned Mosley was not important. He was just a representative of the National Trade Council. He was not part of the inner circle of the cabinet. At best, he was an observer in the cabinet. You can only vote with the permission of the Prime Minister.

This kind of people
Quite positive.

Entering the office, Mosley saluted Mavey who was sitting on the sofa and said in a respectful tone:

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister."

"Moxley, I heard you want to see me?"

"Yes."

"sit down."

Ma Wei pointed to the sofa opposite.

After sitting down, Mosley took out the aluminum cigarette case from his seat pocket, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. Then he reached into his right pocket, took out a silver lighter, and lit it with a 'click' sound. Take a puff.

Ma Wei watched his every move with interest, wanting to hear what he had to say.

After taking two puffs of cigarette, Mosley suddenly realized that the person in front of him was difficult to deal with. According to his past experience, people who were not patient enough would ask him about his purpose after he lit the cigarette. But Ma Wei was different. He was as calm as water. The key was that My eyes are like watching a circus performance, unhurried and unhurried.

If the other party doesn't speak, then you have to speak first. Although it is easy to fall into a disadvantage, there is no other way at the moment.

Mosley took a deep breath and said in a neither humble nor condescending tone: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I..."

Halfway through the words, Ma Wei suddenly interrupted: "I don't like the smell of cigarettes, pinch it off."

Mosley frowned, hesitated for a moment, put out his cigarette, and continued: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I..."

"Do you like tea?" Ma Wei picked up the teacup and interrupted him for the second time.

".I prefer drinking coffee to tea."

"If I asked you to drink tea, would you drink it?"

Staring into Mavey's eyes, Mosley nodded slowly: "Yes."

"I like people who are loyal, both in taste and in person."

Mavi smiled slightly:
"you can go now."
