The wedding of Dulin and Ophelia is scheduled for January 7th. It has no meaning. It is purely to get the wedding over before Dulin officially starts working as governor. However, he will We arrived at the Imperial Capital.
Any politician who aspires to go further on the political road must first solve his or her own marriage problem. Without a stable family, it is difficult for the public to trust this person who cannot even handle his own feelings well and has not established a family. leader.
By the way, take part in the handover ceremony between the old and new ruling parties of Mags and Kubal. To put it simply, the winner comes to power and the loser gets out. But in order to let the winner have a kind of joy from the inside out, there will be a very simple handover ceremony.
Maggs wanted to personally hand over the key to the cabinet office into Kubal's hands.
The handover ceremony was held on January 3rd. Dulin arrived in the imperial capital early to participate in the handover ceremony. Magers behaved very calmly. This was not the end for him, but a new beginning.
All of his plans have only been completed today, including his voluntary retirement, which is only part of his plan. The effects of his efforts over the next few decades will be revealed one by one.
What he left behind will influence countless people, and people will continue to follow his will for countless years to come.
He may no longer be directly involved in politics, but his ideas will live on.
Moreover, Kubal is his good friend. Kubal has also given him a lot of help over the years and actively cooperated with his actions on certain issues. The two have been friends since childhood, and they are still friends now, and they will always be friends in the future. Friends, for these two people, whoever becomes the Prime Minister is actually the same.
Mags was very calm, but some people were not so calm. Mags’s secretary and some female officials in the office had their eyes red and swollen from crying. Thirty years of power changed hands overnight. Thinking that the place they have spent half their lives fighting for will become a place for others to work, and thinking of the confusion in the future, these people couldn't help crying silently.
Remembering the past and worrying about the future.
Powers did not come. He stayed with the New Party Committee on the grounds that he needed to prepare for new work. This can be seen that Powers was definitely very disappointed. This was the last eight years of his political career. He missed out. This opportunity was all missed.
Maggs took the lead in retiring proactively, and through his actions and legislation, ensured the abolition of the tenure system, completely killing Powers' chance to fight again eight years later. He had been working with Mags for nearly forty years, but he got such a result. He didn't know whether he should be angry or feel lucky.
The atmosphere at the handover gradually became serious and the voice became lower and lower. At 9:30 in the morning, the ceremony officially began.
Maggs gave a brief speech, and then invited Kubal to say a few words. The two old men, who were almost the same, shook hands. In front of everyone and reporters, Maggs’ hand represented the highest power of the empire. The copper key was handed into the hands of Kubal.
There were some applause, cheers, and some weeping around. Mags stepped aside very calmly and handed the stage to Kubal. A large number of reporters rushed forward to congratulate the newly-elected prime minister of the empire. .
Magers stood outside the crowd and refused interviews from several reporters. He looked at the proud Kubal for a while, then shook his head with a smile. He put on his gloves, took the hat from Dulin's hand and put it on his own. On his head, he shook his shoulders and shook off some snowflakes, "The stage belongs to him from this moment on, let's go."
Dulin handed the civilized staff to Magus. He rarely used the civilized staff, but today it was very rare for him to let Dulin wear it and also hold it in his hand. Looking from behind him, Dulin discovered something very interesting, and Magus' pace became brisk.
The two walked towards Villa No. 1. Originally, according to regulations, Villa No. 1 on Imperial Avenue should be the exclusive villa of the Prime Minister. However, Kubal refused to move in and refused to be disturbed by others, so Maggs still lives here for the time being. .
But it was clear to everyone that Muggs would be gone soon, and he was not that kind of person, as people imagined him to be.
After returning home and taking off his thick coat, the warmth in the room made Magus relax a lot. He walked to the fireplace in the study and sat on the easy chair. Dulin covered his legs with a blanket. .
As people get older, their joints will always feel uncomfortable and painful in the cold weather. Although Mags was once the Prime Minister of the Empire, he is just an ordinary old man who also suffers from joint pain.
He said thank you, and then sighed leisurely. It was not a frustrated sigh, but more like a relaxed and soothing sigh, as if he had finally let go of the burden he had carried for a long time.
"What do you think?" He asked a question while stirring the firewood in the fireplace to make the fire burn brighter.
The average person who had no idea about this question really didn't know what he was asking, but Dulin knew that he answered directly without thinking more, "It's very disappointing, if you are talking about Powers."
In today's handover ceremony, the only thing that requires people to express their opinions is that Powers did not come. This is very rude. Even if Powers does not need to come, at this very special moment, he It should appear on such occasions.
Even just showing up and saying a few words can leave a very good impression on people, even if it is hypocritical.
But if he doesn't come directly, it will make people feel that he is not brave enough, and people will also blame his rudeness on his status as a civilian.
Dulin can understand him, and many people can understand him, but society will not understand him, especially when the new party lost to the old party at an unprecedented disadvantage this year. If it cannot maintain its dignity, it will only become worse. It's embarrassing.
No doubt there will be reports in tomorrow's newspapers attacking Powers, who will be described as a narrow-minded buffoon under the elegant aristocratic demeanor of Magers and Kubal.
Magus smiled and did not express his position. He put the poker aside and looked at Dulin, "I think the things you mentioned to me last year may not be impossible. I have discussed this with Barr during this time. , maybe Ambiluo is the place to open things up.”
"But..." Magus glanced at Dulin with a meaningful look, "You need to withstand a lot of pressure, you know what I mean."
Dulin is a very special person in the eyes of Maggs. He is always able to keenly find the key points and then gain more attention and advantages for himself. Last year, Dulin and Magers discussed an idea. He wanted to expel the Chamber of Commerce from Ambiro State, and then establish a Ministry of Commerce in the name of the state government to replace the Chamber of Commerce to implement business-related regulations. Power and work.
At the beginning, Maggs’ idea was to stop. When the old and new parties were changing, for the old party, their power had not yet fully covered all levels of society. It would take at least two to four years. Settle down and grasp the power in your hands.
Only then can he be qualified to change something drastically, but now he has changed his mind. As for why he changed it, he keeps it in his heart. He thinks Du Lin can give it a try.
If successful, this will be a valuable victory. The empire is very likely to learn from the success of Ambiro State and learn from the experience of victory, and then gradually encroach on the territory of the Chamber of Commerce, and finally make this deformed organization disappear completely.
If it failed, it would be Du Lin's own responsibility. He insisted on going his own way and refused to listen to dissuasion, which caused a huge negative impact. He had nothing to say when the whip fell on him.
Dulin nodded and said nothing. In fact, regardless of whether Mags supported him or not, this was what he had to do.
He was unhappy with the Chamber of Commerce for a long time, especially when Anpu found his little tail with some internal information about the Ilian Jewelry Store that had leaked from the Chamber of Commerce. He was very unhappy.
The Chamber of Commerce promised to ensure that all information would not be leaked, but in the end it was leaked without even telling him. If he hadn't left a trap in advance at that time, he would have almost penetrated the prison now.
Secondly, Du Lin was very dissatisfied with his subsequent contacts with the Chamber of Commerce. In addition, Hedler was also a member of the Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber of Commerce has greatly weakened the government's power in business. It is imperative to eradicate this deformed organization. It’s a must!
But the Chamber of Commerce is not so easy to get rid of. There are many contents about the Chamber of Commerce in the current laws of the empire, which has indirectly contributed to the Chamber of Commerce's expansion to today's scale, which is equivalent to the Ministry of Commerce alone. Take it out and give it to these capitalists to operate!
Magus breathed a sigh of relief again, "If I have the chance, I will go to Ambiluo to see you, but the prerequisite is that you must have achieved certain results. Of course, I also believe that you can do well." He raised his hand. He waved and said, "Go, if you don't go over, she will come."
Dulin stood up and left. When closing the door, he glanced at Mags. With such a startling glance, Mags gave him a very tired feeling.
He closed the door gently, hesitated for a moment, then gathered himself and walked to the living room.
Ophelia had been waiting for Dulin here for a long time. Because she was getting married, the Royal Academy approved her a week's leave. She had a whole week with Dulin, which made the girl extremely happy.
When Dulin entered the living room, she was chatting with her aunt about her cooking experience. Recently, Ophelia has also become obsessed with cooking. It is said that she heard from an unreliable person that if a wife cannot cook a table Exquisite food, she will definitely not be loved by her husband.
