As soon as Reed heard this voice, he quickly put away his aggressive posture just now, and his tone softened: "Don't dare, Councilor Lewis, I'm really sorry for the Prime Minister just now." ”
Anthony made a gesture of uncaring magnanimity, but all his attention was on the old man who made the old voice.
His face was full of old age spots, and his hair was thin, and he looked like he was going to choke at any moment, but this old man was a bigger threat than everyone else in the room.
"Councillor Lewis," Anthony even bowed slightly.
Lewis, the oldest Republican member of the Legislature.
In the political arena, age means everything, connections, qualifications, these all require age to form, and with such a well-connected and respected old congressman in charge, the Republican Party is much more stable, even if Anthony is now the leader of the Republican Party, he does not dare to be disrespectful to Lewis.
"Prime Minister,"
Lewis spoke slowly, but Anthony was not impatient to show respect to such an old-timer in public.
"Yes, Congressman Lewis. ”
"I know that it is not easy for you, you have to worry about the internal affairs of the Executive Yuan, the parliament, and the party, and you are not young now, and your energy is limited, can you divide some things and let other comrades and young people in the party help deal with them. ”
Anthony's pupils shrank suddenly.
This is their purpose, to use the reason for their failure this time, to divide power!
Anthony's face flushed with anger, his teeth creaked, and he was furious like a lion, and his eyes slowly swept over everyone's faces.
"Don't bother you, I have a lot of energy, I only sleep three hours a day, and I don't have anything to do, this time Bithynia's plan failed purely because of the poor execution of Mandal's side, you lost gold coins, and our Cooper family lost even more! We didn't complain, what are you complaining about!"
Anthony's gaze stabbed at Lewis coldly, at this time, he didn't care about the old man, the prime minister's eyes were like two sharp swords, inserted into Lewis's heart, making the old man stretch out his dry palm, trembling and covering his aching chest.
"I know that each of you has coveted my place for a long time," Anthony smiled mockingly, "and I don't want to think about it, do you have the ability?"
Anthony is like a haughty head wolf looking down on the wolves under him, he is the largest of the wolves, the sharpest teeth, and the most agile limbs, he doesn't care about the challenge of others, because it is bound to lose.
"Do you have the strong financial backing of the Coopers?"
"Do you have Mandal's steady stream of political support?"
"Who of you has ever held the high position of prime minister?"
"None of you! So, if you want to take my power again, wait until you have these things!"
With that, Anthony swept around contemptuously and walked straight out of the conference room, leaving only an empty leather seat, undrunk water in his glass, and a circle of wide-eyed Republican lawmakers.
A few steps out of the conference room, Henry was heard shouting behind him, and when Anthony turned around, he saw Henry's round body rolling in front of him like a ball.
"Was it too much?"
Henry said with some dissatisfaction, his behavior just now was almost torn in the face, as a businessman, he avoided turning his face with others under any circumstances.
"Not excessive. Anthony's face was no longer full of anger, and he was surprisingly calm as if he were two people in the conference room.
"They're already pressing, and if I don't push back strongly, I'm going to step down as soon as the voices against me form a united force. You don't see, Lewis's old guy is out of the horse, this guy is not the most difficult person to play cards in the last moment, all I can do now is to use force to suppress all the opposition. ”
"However, we all know that if they are forced to fight back like this, once they fight back, next time, we may not even have the strength to fight back. ”
"I know it, so I'm going to give it a go!"
Anthony looked out the window, and the direction was the magnificent palace, and the prime minister seemed to see a golden throne in the palace, beckoning to him. (To be continued......)
