Chapter 1040: Alternate
The wedding of Doolin and Ophelia was scheduled for January 7, and it did not mean anything, it was purely to end the wedding before Doolin officially began his work as governor, but he arrived in the imperial capital on January 2nd.
Any politician who is interested in going further on the political road will first solve his own marriage problem, and without a stable family, it is difficult for the people to trust this leader who can't even handle his own feelings well, and the family has not been established.
By the way, I will participate in the handover ceremony between Mags and Kubar's old and new ruling parties, to put it simply, the winner will come to power and the loser will get out, but in order to make the winner have a kind of joy from the inside out, there will be a very simple handover ceremony.
Maggs was going to hand over the key to the cabinet office to Kubal.
The handover ceremony took place on January 3, and Dührin arrived in the imperial capital early to attend the handover ceremony, and Mags was very calm, which was not the end for him, but a new beginning.
All his plans are only fully completed today, including his voluntary retirement, which is only part of his plan, and the effects of his efforts over the past few decades will be shown one by one.
What he left behind will affect countless people, and they will follow his will for countless years to come.
He may no longer be directly involved in politics, but his ideas will endure.
Moreover, Kubal is his good friend, Kubal has also given him a lot of help over the years, and actively cooperated with his initiatives on certain issues, the two have been friends since childhood, and they are still friends, and they will always be friends in the future, for these two people, who is the prime minister is actually the same.
Mags is very calm, but some people are not so calm, Mags's secretary and some female officials in the office are crying red and swollen at this time, thirty years of power changed hands overnight, the thought that the place they have spent half their lives fighting for will become a place for others to work, when they think of the confusion of the future, these people can't help but silently hold tears.
Remembering the past, but also worrying about the future.
Bowers did not come, he stayed on the side of the new party committee on the grounds that he needed to prepare for a new job, which can be seen that Bowers was absolutely very disappointed, this was the last eight years of his political career, and he missed this opportunity, and he missed everything.
Maggs took the lead in voluntary retirement, and through his own actions and legislation, he ensured that the tenure system was abolished, completely killing Bowers of the opportunity to fight again in eight years. He had been following Maggs for nearly forty years, and he didn't know if he should be angry or lucky.
The atmosphere at the handover scene gradually became serious, the voice became lower and lower, and at half past nine in the morning, the ceremony officially began.
Mags gave a short speech, then invited Kubal to say a few words as well, and the two older men shook hands, and in front of everyone and reporters, Mags handed Kubal the bronze key, which represented the highest power in the empire, into Kubal's hands.
There was some applause and cheers, as well as some weeping, and Maggs calmly stepped aside and handed over the stage to Kubal, where a large number of reporters rushed forward to congratulate the new prime minister of the empire.
Maggs stood outside the crowd and refused to be interviewed by several reporters, looked at the smug Kubal for a while, then smiled and shook his head, he put on his gloves, took the hat from Durin's hand and buckled it on his head, he shook his shoulders and shook off some snowflakes, "The stage belongs to him from this moment on, let's go." ”
Durin handed the staff of civilization in his hand to Mags, he rarely used the staff of civilization, but today he let Durin wear it very rarely, and he still held it in his own hand. Looking behind him, Durin noticed something very interesting, and Maggs's pace became brisk.
The two walked towards Villa One, originally according to the regulations, Villa One on Imperial Avenue should be the prime minister's exclusive villa, but Kubal refused to move in and refused to let others disturb Magus, so Mags still lives here for the time being.
But everybody knows that it won't be long before Maggs leaves, and he's not that kind of person, the kind of person people imagine.
When he returned home and took off his thick coat, the warmth of the room relaxed him a lot, and he went to the fireplace in his study and sat down in an easy chair, where Durin put a blanket over his legs.
When people are old, their joints will always be uncomfortable and painful in cold weather, and although Magus was once the prime minister of the empire, he is just an ordinary old man, and he will also have joint pain.
He said thank you, and then sighed leisurely, not the kind of frustrated sigh, but more like finally letting go of the burden he had borne for a long time, it was a relaxed and soothing sigh.
"What do you think?", he asked, stirring the wood in the fireplace to make it burn a little brighter.
The average person who didn't know what he was asking really did not know what he was asking, but Durin knew, and without much thought, he replied directly, "It's disappointing, if you're talking about Bowworth." ”
The only thing that needs to be expressed in today's handover ceremony is that Bowers didn't come, which is very rude, even if Bowers doesn't need to come, and he should be there at this very special moment.
Even just showing up and saying a few words can leave a very good impression, even if it is hypocritical.
But he didn't come directly, but it made people feel that his strength was not enough, and even if he brought it, he would make people pull his faux pas to his civilian identity.
Duhrin can understand him, many people can understand him, but society will not understand him, especially this year when the new party has lost to the old party by an unprecedented disadvantage, if it cannot stand up and maintain its dignity, it will only be more humiliating.
There can be no doubt in the newspapers tomorrow that there will be reports of a bath against Bowers, who, with the elegant aristocratic demeanor of Maggs and Kubal, will be described as a narrow-minded harlequin.
Maggs smiled and didn't say anything, he put the tongs aside, and then looked at Durin, "What you mentioned to me last year, I don't think it may be impossible to do, I have discussed this with Barr during this time, maybe Ambiluo is a place to open up the situation." ”
"But ......," Maggs glanced at Durin meaningfully, "you need to withstand a lot of pressure, you know what I mean." ”
Durin is a very special person in the eyes of Maggs, who has always been keen to find the key points and then fight for more attention and advantages for himself. Last year, Doohrin and Maggs talked about the idea of expelling the Chamber of Commerce from the state of Ambiluo and then establishing a department of commerce in the name of the state government to replace the Chamber of Commerce and carry out the powers and work related to commerce.
At the beginning, Mags's idea was to stop for a while, and when the old and new parties were re-elected, for the old party, their power had not yet fully covered the social level, and it would take at least two to four years to settle down and grasp the power in their hands.
Then he was qualified to change something drastically, but he had changed his mind now, and as for why he had hidden it in his heart, he felt that Durin could try it.
If successful, it will be a valuable victory, and it is very likely that the Empire will learn from the success of Ambiluo, and then gradually encroach on the territory of the Chamber of Commerce, and eventually make this deformed organization disappear completely.
If it fails, it is Durin's own responsibility, and he insists on not obeying the dissuasion, which has a great negative effect, and he has nothing to say when the whip falls on him.
Durin nodded and didn't speak, in fact, whether Mags supported him or not, it was something he had to do.
He was already unhappy with the General Chamber of Commerce, especially when Amp found his little tail with some internal information about the Illian jewelry store that flowed out of the General Chamber of Commerce.
The Chamber of Commerce promised to ensure that all information was not leaked, but in the end, it leaked out, and he was not even told. If he hadn't left a trap in advance, he would have been about to sit through the prison by now.
Secondly, Du Lin was very dissatisfied with the contact with the Chamber of Commerce, and Hedler was also a member of the Chamber of Commerce before, and the Chamber of Commerce greatly weakened the government's power in business, and it was imperative to eradicate this deformed organization!
However, the Chamber of Commerce is not so easy to get rid of, and there are many contents about the Chamber of Commerce in the current laws of the empire, which indirectly contributes to the fact that the Chamber of Commerce can swell to today's scale, which is equivalent to taking out the Ministry of Commerce alone and handing it over to these capitalists to operate!
Maggs breathed a sigh of relief again, "If I have the chance, I will go to Ambiluo to see you, but only if you have to make a certain result, of course I also believe that you can do well." He raised his hand and waved, "Go, if you don't go over, she's coming." ”
Durin got up to leave, and as he closed the door, he glanced at Magus, and at such a startled glance that Magus gave him a very tired feeling.
He closed the door gently, hesitated for a moment, and then gathered his mood and walked to the living room.
Ophelia had been waiting for Durin here for a long time, and because she was going to get married, the Royal Academy approved her for a week's vacation, and she had a whole week to be with Dorin, much to the girl's delight.
When Durin entered the drawing-room, she was chatting with her aunt about cooking, and Ophelia had recently become obsessed with cooking, and it was said that she had heard from someone who could not be trusted—that a wife would not be able to gain her husband's affection if she could not make a table of fine food.
