Make Bishop Fowler an archbishop?

In Mavi's opinion, there may be nothing better than this.

Although Bishop Fowler was at odds with the Church of Truth, he also supported the Four Princes, with whom Bishop Fowler had reached an agreement as early as the time of New Ross.

Now that the eldest prince is dead, the second prince has inherited the throne, and the situation in London has changed dramatically, no one knows what the second prince's attitude towards the Labour Party will be next, and in view of this, it is a bad thing to support Bishop Fowler to the throne.

"You don't object. That's good. That's good."

Hearing that Ma Wei agreed to Bishop Fowler's promotion to archbishop, Archbishop Brandon breathed a sigh of relief, of course, the election of archbishop does not need to be approved by Ma Wei, but everyone is an important figure in the Holy See, and it is best to avoid contradictions if they can avoid them.

After the banquet, the second prince. Or that Shukri I, in public, appointed Mavi as the new prime minister, this move stunned many people, especially the Liberal MPs, many of them thought that the new prime minister would be Baron Frederick, but they didn't expect it to be Mavey!

In addition to the Prime Minister, the second prince also appointed Ma Wei as the Minister of the Navy, and handed him the position of Supreme Commander of the Royal Navy, as for Baron Frederick, he was also rewarded, the First Sea Lord, an absolute position of real power, but compared with Ma Wei, it is a little inadequate.

The old Duke of Crowley seemed to have anticipated his end, and did not resist at all, and took the initiative to resign from the second prince, who gladly agreed, and rewarded him with a piece of suburban land.

Toure Crowley was promoted to admiral and awarded the Order of Gard, because it was not a time of war, the Royal Navy did not have the post of marshal, the supreme officer of the headquarters was the first sea lord, and the highest prefect of the country was the admiral, and the admiral could be regarded as the third in command.

Joshua and others were also rewarded, and the brave and good fighters were personally rewarded by the king.

In addition to this, the Royal Navy officially took over the Army and took over the defense of London.

Of course, the second prince would not show mercy to the enemy's subordinates, and all those who betrayed him were judged.

All the officials who assisted the Great Prince's rebellion, the chief of the Scotland Yard police, the commander of the army, the mayor of London, a total of 25 main planners and 75 minor planners, were all dismissed from their posts, and they were cleaned from top to bottom.

The dismissal was only the first step, and without official positions, these former bigwigs became civilians, and as soon as they returned home, the Royal Navy came to the door with an arrest warrant for an attempt to subvert national security.

This is a felony, and if convicted by the justice, he faces a sentence of shooting or even hanging.

However, most of these officials came from aristocratic families, such as the former Prime Minister Winston, and the Churchill family behind him was an old aristocrat like the Crowley family, and could not be easily executed.

As for the third prince Andrew, because he was controlled by the eldest prince, the second prince did not blame him, but just asked him to hand over all the military power and return to the territory as a prince without power.

The Grand Prince's most loyal confidant, the Marquis of Brecken, was found in a dark alley, and when he was found, he was already delirious, and his mouth was constantly babbling nonsense, and no one knew whether he was pretending to be or not.

Surprisingly, the second prince did not order the execution of the Marquis of Brecken, but only stripped him of his title, and then let him leave London, on the surface, this was an extremely merciful act, but Ma Wei knew that as soon as the Marquis of Brecken left, the second prince sent someone to follow.

All the property of the eldest prince is in the hands of the Marquis of Blacon, and after the death of the eldest prince, only the Marquis of Brecken knows where the property is hidden, and no one knows how much money the eldest prince has hidden.

The end of the Marquis of Brecken, Ma Wei did not know, he only knew that one day the second prince got a huge sum of money, worth nearly 300,000 gold pounds, and since then, Ma Wei has never heard of the Marquis of Brecken.

The Potions Company established by the Marquis of Brecken collapsed, and on the day it was declared bankrupt, it was completely annexed by the Manstein Potions Company by injecting capital into the Potions Company, and all the potion formulas that originally belonged to the Bracken Potions Company also fell into the hands of the Manstein Potions Company.

The same fate was true of the Edie Potions Company, which was founded by the third prince Andrew, who acquired 51% of the shares and became the largest shareholder.

At this point, Manstein Potions Company formed a monopoly in the Kingdom of Windsor.

No.

It should be said that it is a monopoly.

The other scattered small potions companies are no match for Manstein's Potions Company, which is like a behemoth, keeping them out of reach, and the soup and water leaking from their fingertips can make a family live a worry-free life for a lifetime.

Nominally, Manstein Potions did not have a monopoly on the market, but in fact, Manstein Potions did not have to do anything, and the natural development of capital was enough to make other small companies never turn over.

"It's a de facto monopoly."

In the potions grocery store, Ma Wei looked out the window: "The Manstein Potions Company has become the premier capital of the Kingdom of Windsor, and its economy is too large and its influence is becoming more and more far-reaching."

With the acquisition of Bracken Potions and the control of Edie Potions, more and more ordinary people worked for Manstein's Potions, and their control over the economy reached a terrifying level.

This was also expected by Ma Wei, who had planned to turn Manstein Potions into a multinational giant corporation, but in this way, the burden on his shoulders was even heavier.

"You're always worried about this, worried about that, what's there to worry about?"

Edward said disappreciatively, "They lived well without you before, didn't they?" ”

"That's right."

Ma Wei turned his head and walked around the customer hall: "Where's Felix?" Looking for Miss Helena again? ”

"He didn't come back last night." Edward said: "At the head office, you know, those two female managers have had some opinions about him lately. ”

The two female managers, of course, refer to Tiffany and Gina, Ma Wei doesn't want to care about these things, he is much busier now than before, how can he have time to pay attention to these?

"You are now the Prime Minister of the Kingdom, and it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reorganize the Cabinet, determine the Ministers, and choose important positions such as the Scotland Field Police Department and the Mayor of London." Edward said calmly.

"I know."

Ma Wei nodded: "Let's have dinner first, after eating, Yunia and I will go to find the fourth prince." ”

Late at night.

Regent's Park Villas.

In the autumn of London, it was already a little chilly, and the thick coat that had just been taken off for a short time was put on again, and the fireplace was also raised in the room, and Arthur was communicating with a few men in front of the fire.

"Your Highness, last night was a great time to make a move, why don't we take the opportunity to kill the second prince and seize power?"

"Yes, Your Highness, Bedwell is right, last night was our once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

"Trust in the priest's arrangement." Arthur said quietly: "The priest must have a reason for doing this. ”

"Reason? What a reason! Your Highness! What if the priest abandons us and supports the second prince instead! ”

"Gentleman Sean, in your heart, am I such a treacherous person?"

There was a chuckle from the corner, everyone turned around, Mavi and Yunia came out of the darkness, took off their hats and pressed them to their chests, and said with a smile: "Gentleman Sean, Mr. Benjamin, long time no see. I don't know who this is? ”

In addition to Sean Rickman and Russell Benjamin, there was a fourth man in the room, the man had a pair of gray eyes, dark blonde hair, deep eye sockets, prominent cheekbones, and a dignified sitting posture, revealing a steady temperament.

"Let me introduce you, Father." Arthur said: "This is Thorle Gross, the Secretary of State for Welsh Regions, a former cabinet member, the fourth seat of the Knights of the Round Table, codenamed Gareth. ”

Secretary of State for Wales and former Cabinet member

Hearing these titles, Ma Wei seemed to have some impressions, he actually did not have many cabinet members, the most impressive was Prime Minister Winston, among which there were some marginal figures, I really can't remember.

After all, the Kingdom of Windsor is divided into several regions, Wales is located in the west of London, and was conquered by the Windsor royal family in the early years.

As for the northern part of the kingdom, it is naturally the Scottish region, which, like Wales and the West Isle, is a territory that was conquered in the early years.

The unique regional divisions have created a unique political landscape in the Kingdom of Windsor, with the Cabinet including the Secretary of State for Wales, the Secretary of State for Scottish Affairs and the Secretary of State for the West Isles.

Unlike ordinary cabinet members, most of these ministers belong to iron rice bowls, and they will not be easily replaced unless there are special circumstances.

Ma Wei was surprised that Arthur had already co-opted the Minister of State for Wales, and as the Knights of the Round Table gradually surfaced, the forces behind Arthur became more and more unexpected.

Tole Gross got up, pressed his left hand to his chest, and greeted him with the liturgy of the Church of Truth: "I have seen the priest. ”

Sitting on the couch, Mavey looked at Thorle Gross and turned his gaze to Arthur: "Your Highness, since the Minister of State for Wales is your man, then the Minister for Affairs for the West Isles."

"Hamilton Guzmán, you say?" Arthur smiled, "Yes, he's the fifth Knights of the Round Table, Galahad. ”

"It turns out that Your Highness, you have already planted a nail in the cabinet."

Ma Wei asked with interest: "I'm curious, how did you convince them, Your Highness?" ”

You know, the situation when Arthur left London can no longer be described as lonely, he was driven out of the royal capital, how can such a person make the two cabinet members swear allegiance and be willing to become his Knight of the Round Table?

"I was able to win over Toller Gross thanks to Gulhanna's help." Arthur said, "Gulhanna's father, my court swordsmanship, his surname is Gross, and he is Tole's uncle. ”

"I see."

Ma Wei smiled for a moment, and then got down to business: "I'll answer Gentleman Sean's question, why didn't you take the opportunity to seize power last night and let His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince ascend to the throne. The reason is simple, I'm not ready. ”

"Not ready?" Sean didn't expect Ma Wei to say it so bluntly.

"Yes, first of all, I don't currently have the strength to overthrow the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny, and I still need some time to prepare."

Ma Wei said: "Secondly, I want to find out the moths inside the Windsor Kingdom, and only by digging out the hidden dangers and uprooting the problems can we solve them once and for all." ”

"Specifically, it is to help the Labour Party to grow and naturalise other parties, and in the process, there will naturally be many staunch opponents, and we need to evaluate them, and if they are harmful, we should get rid of them."

Arthur nodded slowly: "I support your approach, Father Priest, these people are all unstable factors, and they will be backstabbed at any time, and getting rid of them is indeed the best choice." ”

"But when are we going to go?" Sean asked, "The situation is already extremely favorable to us, there should be an approximate time!" ”

"It won't be long." Ma Wei said lightly: "I promised His Highness to help him take revenge, now Rhodes IV only has three months to live, and before he dies, everything will be settled." ”

Hearing this, Sean and the others glanced at each other and didn't say anything more.

They were just afraid that Mavi would abandon them, and now it seems that Mavi has no such idea.

"I'm here tonight for a very important matter."

Ma Wei took out a blank piece of paper and put it on the table: "Early tomorrow morning, I will go to No. 9 Downing Street to take office, as the prime minister, I will form a cabinet and appoint ministers and various officials, Your Highness, who do you think I should arrange for to enter the cabinet?" ”

"Gareth, that is, Toller, of course, will continue to be his Secretary of State for Wales, including Hamilton, the Secretary of State for the West Island, and the two of them do not need to change."

Arthur thought for a moment and said, "On the Labor side, I would like to recommend Sean Rickman as a representative to the cabinet, he is very competent and a qualified leader. ”

"What about the Northern Councillors?" Mavey looked at Russell Benjamin.

"Me." Russell Benjamin put it bluntly: "I'm just the right fit." ”

Ma Wei wrote down the four names on the paper and said with a smile: "You are really welcome, all of them are your own people." ”

"Father, you came to ask us, didn't you just let us arrange our own people?"

"That's true."

Shaking his head, Mavi continued, "Percival. Is Director Richard in London? Now the Scottish Yard Police Department needs a chief, and I would like to take the opportunity to transfer him to London. ”

"Richard is still in the West Island, he is from the West Island, and he is not suitable to be the director directly, which is too much for promotion." Arthur reminded.

"I know, I just want to transfer him and Inspector Macmillan to London, and then slowly get promoted. The Commissioner of Scotland Yard is to be determined for the time being, Mayor of London, do you have any recommendations? ”

"Yes."

Arthur narrowed his eyes: "I recommend the Marquis of Swinsea, William Brown." ”

"Well, I have an impression of him, the East Island nobleman who came to your wedding."

Ma Wei asked familiarly, "How many knights of the round table is he?" ”

"Third seat, Geraint!"
