Chapter 370: Evolution (2-in-1, Subscription Requested!! )
That night, the Royal Navy and the Scotland Yard Police launched a clean-up operation.
Armed with rubber batons, cops slammed open doors and stormed bedrooms to catch sleeping gangsters, many of whom were shackled before they could even figure out what was going on.
Casinos and brothels were also raided, and the Royal Navy, which was in charge of East London, was more brutal than the police, and they acted in groups, armed with rifles, and so well trained, that anyone who tried to resist was shot and killed, and gamblers and prostitutes fled screaming, and were arrested one by one by Toure who was waiting outside.
The whole of East London was full of chickens and dogs, and hundreds of gang members were arrested overnight, not counting gamblers and prostitutes.
Not surprisingly, the newspapers blew up the next day, reporting on the Royal Navy and the Scotland Yard Police's arrest, to which Mavey explained that it was a normal regular peacekeeping.
The Kore Gang has been hit hard, and countless people applaud it, believing that this is a righteous anti-crime operation.
Some people don't think so.
9 Downing Street was 'mobbed' by lawmakers, and Liberal MPs approached Mavi to protest and demand that they release the gang members and exchange the confiscated 'contraband'.
"Nicholas! Do you know what you're doing! ”
"Why did you launch last night's attack? You should ask us for our opinion! ”
"Release the Kore Gang now! And apologies to us! ”
In the face of countless accusations, Ma Wei was calm and unmoved: "The action is legal, I have the right to mobilize the army, as for notifying you, why should I inform you?" I've already spoken to the Mayor of London and the Scotland Yard police, and even the First Sea Lord, Baron Frederick, knows about last night's action, do you need your consent? ”
"You're arbitrary! We're going to tell Your Majesty! ”
The parliamentarians were shocked and angry, they didn't expect Ma Wei to dare to refuse them!
You know, the prime minister is appointed by the king!
And the king was carried up by them!
"You can go to Your Majesty to protest, but I want to remind you that your Majesty's action last night was also nodded and agreed to."
“.”
The councillors looked at each other, gritted their teeth and said, "It's okay not to release the gang members!" But you have to get the contraband back! That's not contraband! We have the formalities! ”
"The contraband was destroyed last night." Ma Wei said lightly: "Do you still have something?" ”
"We're going to start a vote of no confidence!"
A vote of no confidence is the power of the parliament.
If the prime minister is questioned by a partisan, a vote of no confidence can be initiated, and if the vote passes, the prime minister must step down.
But here's the thing
If Parliament starts a vote of no confidence, the Prime Minister can dissolve Parliament early and hold a new election.
"That's what you said." Ma Wei didn't expect double happiness to come to the door: "I'm waiting for your vote of no confidence." ”
Gordon MP also wanted to say a few cruel words, but was pulled by his companions beside him, it is obvious that Nicholas is no longer in line with them, not to mention that the Labour Party is now gaining momentum, if the general election is re-held, I am afraid that the Labour Party will replace the Conservative Party and become the largest party in Parliament.
It's not wise to go against Ma Wei now!
The priority is to go to Your Majesty!
Leaving No. 9 Downing Street, the councillors hurried to Kensington Palace to meet the second prince.
"Your Majesty! Nicholas mobilized the army without authorization, and his title of prime minister should be revoked! ”
"Baron Frederick is the best candidate for Prime Minister!"
The second prince was in no mood to listen to their complaints: "When I chose Nicholas, why didn't I see you come out to protest? ”
"We didn't know at that time that Nicholas was such a person!" Girard said indignantly: "Now it seems that Baron Frederick is more suitable for this position than him!" ”
"It is impossible to replace the prime minister." The second prince was very resolute: "The contradiction between you and Nicholas will be resolved by yourself, don't come to ask me." ”
"But."
"If nothing else, I'll go to the afternoon race."
After saying that, the second prince left the hall, leaving the members of the council with wide eyes.
His Majesty would not help them.
"Girard, what shall we do?" Someone asked: "The seized goods are worth hundreds of thousands of gold pounds!" ”
"How did Nicholas suddenly become like this?" Congressman Gordon was puzzled: "Isn't he a member of the Liberal Party?" Why do things that are not good for the Liberal Party? ”
"Huh"
Girard sneered: "It's not easy to explain? Now that he has become the prime minister, he looks down on us! ”
"Without our support, can he be prime minister?"
"Not necessarily."
Gordon shook his head: "No matter who Nicholas turns to, he can become prime minister." ”
Turning his head to look out the window, Gordon had a bad premonition in his heart, and Ma Wei's attitude seemed to be a harbinger of some kind of bad luck.
On the other hand, Marvey had ordered Scotland Yard to release the gamblers and prostitutes, whose crimes were not serious, and a symbolic fine of some money was given and then released home.
As for the gangsters who were caught.
Instead of shooting them, Mavi handed them over to Scotland Yard for trial, and then submitted to the court for a trial of the crime and a final verdict.
To Ma Wei's surprise, these gang members are quite righteous, except for a few soft bones, most of them bite the bullet and refuse to confess to other accomplices.
There was no torture to extract confessions, and the information that Ma Wei wanted to know had already been learned from the Korey brothers, and there was nothing to explain to the following little minions.
Dealing with the gang members is only the first step, whether it's the Kore brothers or those behind-the-scenes councilors, Mavi has to make them pay, but not now.
These councillors who are hiding behind the scenes are the real culprits, it is not easy to deal with them, they are all 'VIPs' of the church, they donate a lot of money every year, it is easy to deal with one or two of them, if it is against a group.
It is bound to attract the attention of the church.
After punishing the gangsters, the streets of London were much cleaner, shops were back in business, no one dared to come to collect protection money, and Ma Wei also signed an executive order to recruit more police officers to maintain law and order.
The police are also human beings, and there are many people who collect black money, and the sanctity of the profession does not mean that the people who perform it are also sacred.
If the gangs have a way to deal with them, then the corrupt police will make the people feel deeply powerless, as Ma Wei once heard:
If you want to know what's going on in a place, go to the police station.
The police in a place can reflect the core problems of a place, and it is often a realistic comparison.
In order to train qualified police officers, Ma Wei specially commissioned Arthur to open the Royal Police Academy, which is open to the society, and as long as he passes the assessment, he can enter the school to study.
With the grassroots can there be an upper level, the Royal Police School can be established, but also thanks to the establishment of public schools, after the salary level is raised, and then solve some rent, food problems, everyone is willing to send their children to school, Arthur's public school, is not only a school with cultural classes, but also professional teachers who teach professional skills, they are all old workers, old and idle at home, just invited to be teachers.
After dealing with the police, Mavi received a gift, a very valuable gift.
The gift was unsigned, but beautifully packaged, using hand-sewn red velvet, and delivered directly to the grocery store, where the delivery person dressed as a customer who came to buy a potion.
Xiao Hei has already sent the cat to follow, and as soon as there is news, it will be transmitted back immediately.
Looking at the package on the table, the demon spirit wooden box in her arms did not react, and even Yunia said that there were no magic fluctuations in the box.
Even so, Mavi asked Edward to open the box.
Untie the outer ribbon and remove the velvet cloth included on the outside, a square handmade wooden box appeared in front of Ma Wei and the others, the box was unlocked, and the lid was lifted, and a paper contract was placed inside.
"Land Transfer Agreement."
Edward glanced at the contents of the contract and handed it to Mavi: "The signatory is Vincent Frankl." ”
It was indeed a land transfer agreement, with all the formalities, and as long as Ma Wei signed his name on it, he would get a manor, a manor in the eastern suburbs of London.
The name Vincent Frankl, one of the Conservative MPs that Mavi knew, actually sent himself a manor?
The Conservative Party and the Liberal Party are in a-for-tat confrontation, and Ma Wei, as the prime minister of the Liberal Party, should be vigilant and targeted by the Conservative Party, but he did not expect it
"Looks like they're courting it."
Ma Wei threw the contract on the table and didn't care.
It's just a manor, and with his current position of power, it's within reach.
If he had pursued these superficial and pompous things, he would not have come to this point.
The manor, which was not attractive to him.
On the contrary, it was the meaning behind this contract that interested him more.
The Conservative Party sent this gift, most likely because he launched an anti-gang operation to get rid of a group of gang members who were unfavorable to the Conservative Party and curb the momentum of the Liberal Party.
It would have helped the Conservatives a lot, but Mavey wasn't trying to help them, and they couldn't help it.
Perhaps the Conservatives will be mistaken and intend to make Mavey join them and become the face of the Conservative Party.
That's a bit whimsical.
"Big brother, I've been to this manor!" Levine looked at the address on the contract and was surprised: "To be exact, this is a winery!" Very expensive! ”
Before the fall of the Grand Prince, Levin and Helena attended many Tory Party gatherings and knew a lot of information.
"Do you want it?"
"No, what do I want this thing for?"
"Then send this gift back." Ma Wei said lightly: "The others in the province misunderstood. ”
"It's okay to send it back," Levine scratched his head and said, "Big brother, what do you want to do?" Aren't we trying to force the Conservatives to defect to the Fourth Prince? Punish the Kore Gang, this is a help to the Conservatives! ”
Levine always thought that Marvey planned to let go of the Coré gang and target the Conservatives, and when they could not retreat, they would naturally seek refuge, and the only thing that London could shelter them now was the rapidly rising Four Princes.
The mentality of the second prince, the only one who can suppress the fourth prince, has changed, he used to be a prince and needs to participate in the party struggle, but now that he is the king, does he still need to join a fixed party?
Neither the Liberals nor the Conservatives can affect his position.
Balance is best.
"Arthur's ascension to the throne needs the support of Congress, we are not bandits, nor invaders, but revolutions."
"The biggest difference between revolution and rebellion is the difference in their goals. ”
"The purpose of rebellion is usually to overthrow the existing political leadership or power organization, and it lacks a practical program, and often treats the symptoms rather than the root cause."
"Revolutions are broader and may involve multiple political systems or power organizations, with the goal of changing the political, economic, cultural, and structural changes of the entire society and bringing about fundamental change."
Speaking of this, Ma Wei paused and added: "What we want to do is revolution, not rebellion, so we must take into account various factors, different national conditions, different methods of revolution, such as the Kingdom of Windsor, which is a large capital industrial country, if you want to achieve fundamental change, you first need to change the minds of the people." ”
The grassroots is the soil for incubating ideas, and any collision of ideas is born from the grassroots, which is why Ma Wei asked Arthur to establish the Labor Party.
The main body of the industrial power is the workers, the Romanov kingdom is a large agricultural country, the main body is the serfs, and the violent revolution in the Romanov kingdom Mavi is because he needs to completely overthrow the political arena and change the day, but the Windsor kingdom does not need to change the day, they need to change their thinking and complete the transition to socialism.
In short, the revolutionary process of the Windsor Kingdom is greater than that of the Romanov Kingdom, they have already carried out the revolution, but the revolution is not thorough enough, leaving a lot of tails, and what Mavi has to do is to get rid of these tails.
The tail of some imperial hegemonism.
In order to complete the utopian world, we must first achieve great material and spiritual abundance, and to achieve this we need enough subjective initiative, and there is no one that can stimulate subjective initiative more than the self-interested thought in the depths of human nature, which is a biological instinct that comes from the depths of genes.
When the productive forces are sufficiently developed and the material is extremely abundant, the socialist revolution can replace capitalism as a higher social ideology.
Ma Wei believes that in the process of evolution, the most important thing to be vigilant against is imperial hegemony, which is a detour and a trap, and any country that falls into imperial hegemony will usher in ruin.
Prosperity must decline, which is also the inevitability of history.
In order to prevent the gains of the revolution from being replaced by hegemonism, Ma Wei wanted to get rid of some unstable elements, get rid of the wolves in the capital, and leave the dogs behind.
Obedient dog.
Dogs without ambition will only bow their heads, and even if they are fat and strong, they can be slaughtered at any time, without worrying about them going down the road of imperialism.
Those who are willing to give up their dignity and join the Labor Party are most likely dogs, and the rest are wolves, wolves in capital.
Once screened out, Mavi will be able to launch a revolution.
"Go and call the Kore brothers."
Ma Wei said to Levine: "The Conservatives are quite united, and it will take some time to split them, but the northern parliamentarians may not necessarily take them first!" ”
