Chapter 490: The Power of the Superior
Later, Roton thought about it and realized that the success of the Civilian Party this time, in addition to Itas and others, there were actually other reasons, that is, the situation was completely different from that of other political parties.
Those political parties are too crazy, which makes Kanina and her group look peaceful.
Because of the madness, all the promised returns sound unreliable, and all kinds of pie in the sky are painted, but the pie in the sky is too big, and everyone knows it is impossible to achieve as soon as they hear it.
However, Kanina and her friends are very pragmatic and are able to fulfill some of the promises they make.
Over the years, Kanina and her colleagues have been working hard to fulfill their previous promises, and have basically achieved them, which is a big plus.
So, some slightly rational people chose Kanina and others.
This led to a counterattack for Kanina and the others.
It was really an unexpected success.
The four members of the Civilian Party are Kanina, Itas, Lisa and Lisa's mother.
All women.
Tonight, Rawdon was very happy and rewarded Kanina and the others for their success.
Except for Lisa's mother, the other three members of the Civilian Party were all present.
In fact, in addition to Feiya, Su Wei and Masoya were also present.
Fia has her own self-esteem and pride, and it is impossible for her to do such a thing with other women.
Of course, Roton could understand all of this.
After all, she is the queen and the first wife.
What Roton couldn't feel from Fia, he could still enjoy from Kanina and the others.
Roton challenges many people alone without any pressure. This is how he usually is.
However, in this battle, after killing five people in a row, Roton felt a little overwhelmed. It can be said that he had tried his best.
With the election now over, it is time to form a new cabinet.
Since it is a re-election, the general framework of the government members remains unchanged.
The main key departments will definitely be members of the People's Party, just like the previous term.
But this time, compared to the last time, the old immortal is even stronger.
Basically, all the ministerial positions within the government are occupied by people from the People's Party.
Even if other allies got some ministerial positions, they were actually unpopular ones without much power, or they were departments that were difficult to work in.
In short, there is really not much soup and water left for the allies.
In fact, this cannot be blamed on the People’s Party, after all, they are the only dominant party.
If you really want to monopolize power, there is no problem in not giving any to other allies.
However, these allies still have some complaints in their hearts.
Because compared to the last session, the benefits they received this time were much less.
Unfortunately, the current People’s Party is very tough and powerful, and they don’t have much say at all.
Thus, the position of the ally was determined.
It’s good enough to have it, how can you expect more?
Impossible things.
Next is the distribution of interests within the People’s Party.
Although most of the good positions are theirs, among these positions, for example, even if they are all ministers, there are also differences in quality, responsibilities and powers because of different departments, and thus different levels of talent.
For example, the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Finance, and the Ministry of the Interior are the ministers with the most power.
So these positions naturally attracted the attention of countless people inside.
Generally speaking, when a political party is re-elected, the original ministers can basically be re-elected as well.
After all, with one term of experience, if he is re-elected, he will have more experience.
It can also ensure the smooth progress of work. If someone is replaced and a handover is required, it will take a long time to stabilize.
However, some things still need to be changed, because some people are getting older and some younger members have to take over.
The first thing that attracted people's attention was that Finance Minister Arun was retiring.
He is indeed quite old, but if he really wants to serve another term, there is nothing wrong with it.
But in the end, he still had to retreat.
The main reason is that Arun has been questioned by many people, especially by the opposition parties such as the Congress Party, who have strong opinions about him and launched many attacks on him.
It is normal for Allen to be questioned and attacked.
Because it was under his leadership that the Law Enforcement Bureau did too many things and offended too many people over the years.
It was mainly the opposition that suffered a heavy blow from the Law Enforcement Bureau.
During the general election alone, the Enforcement Agency's arrest of Ida caused huge trouble for the Congress Party, which was one of the reasons for the defeat of Lago and his team.
In addition to the strong dissatisfaction on the part of the opposition, other state governments and many wealthy people also have dissatisfaction with Allen.
Because of the taxes and other things that Allen had imposed before, he actually offended many states and wealthy people.
In order to eliminate these negative influences, the People's Party let Arun retire to dispel those people's dissatisfaction.
If Allen was younger, it would be hard to say.
Who would be willing to give up such power? But Allen was old enough, and after the old immortal's personal persuasion, Allen agreed.
This leaves the position of Finance Minister vacant.
This made the internal members' eyes turn red.
This is a lucrative job.
They all knew that Allen had gained a lot of benefits from this position and his wealth was an astronomical figure.
Who wouldn't want to be the second Allen? This is the person who manages the money of a country. Even if he could get a little bit from his fingers, it would be amazing.
Members of the People's Party competed fiercely, and everyone wanted to occupy a good position.
The Indian people are looking forward to the emergence of new cabinet members. There are many speculations in the news media, and even a vote has been launched.
For example, who are the new ministers of each department?
In particular, the candidates for the Ministry of Finance have attracted the most attention.
After all, Allen has made it clear that he will no longer serve as finance minister.
"Rotten, you have to pay attention to Moss Pendaka." Vides called Rotten.
The two had discussed the ministerial candidates before, and the ministerial candidates have been decided and the new government has been established.
These topics are hot topics not only among the public but also among civil servants.
Although the promotion of these ministers generally does not affect their positions, it still has some impact.
For example, if the minister in charge of his department system is an acquaintance, then the power in his hands will increase accordingly.
So everyone is paying close attention to it.
"What happened to him?" Rawdon asked.
Moss Pendaka was the former chief of the Mumbai Police Department, and Rawdon came to replace him.
Moss's status in Mabon is a bit awkward now.
He is said to be the second person in the Maharashtra police. Previously, this second person was usually the Deputy Director General and concurrently the Director of the Mumbai Police Department.
And now this position is in the hands of Roton.
Having lost the powerful position of Commissioner of the Mumbai Police, Moss naturally felt very embarrassed here.
His position as the second place is just a false one, and Rodon is the real second place.
"Some time ago, during the election, Moss and Allen were very close," said Widders. "He used his connections to get in touch with Allen."
"What does he want to do? Does he want to be transferred to the Law Enforcement Bureau?" Roton said with a smile.
This is a joke.
The police and the law enforcement agency are not in the same system.
The police are IPS, and the Ministry of Finance is a civil service system. The two are different, and basically there will be no transfers.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The Central Bureau of Investigation and the police are considered to be part of the same system. After all, they are both under the Ministry of the Interior and have the same police ranks.
"Even if you want to use Allen's connections to transfer to the Law Enforcement Bureau, he's probably cursing right now," said Vides with a smile.
Rawdon also laughed.
The most concerned issue before was naturally the candidate for Minister of Finance.
Because this position has been vacated, everyone wants to know who will get it.
It can be said that everyone was shocked when they found out who the new Finance Minister was.
It turned out to be Nirmala Sitharaman, who was previously the Defense Minister.
Originally, in everyone's opinion, Nirmala should still be the defense minister.
If there were no major problems during his previous term, he would basically be re-elected.
However, she was unexpectedly appointed as the Minister of Finance, which was beyond everyone's expectations.
However, considering that Nirmala was the Minister of Commerce and Industry before becoming the Minister of Defense, he is quite proficient in economics, so this appointment is reasonable.
The Minister of Defense is in charge of the military, so it is indeed not appropriate for a woman to hold this position.
Before, because I was replacing him midway, people didn’t have that much opinion about it.
If he continues to serve as Defense Minister now, opposition will grow louder and louder, so this adjustment is reasonable.
Due to Nirmala's move, the post of Defense Minister became vacant, and finally Rajnath, the former Home Minister, was transferred.
The Home Minister this time is Bharatiya Janata Party Chairman Urmit Shah.
Hermite is considered the old immortal's steward, managing internal affairs in an orderly manner.
This is definitely one of the people the old immortal trusts the most.
We can’t let Ermit always hold internal positions in the People’s Party, so this time when he comes out, the Federal Ministry of Home Affairs is definitely a key department.
The transfer of Rajnath was probably a means for the old immortal to balance power.
If Rajnath is allowed to serve as Home Minister for two consecutive terms, then his power in the police, the Central Bureau of Investigation, the intelligence agencies and other related departments will be too great.
It is easy to cultivate some confidants of your own.
It might even pose a challenge to the Prime Minister's power.
So, the people in the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Defense, and the Ministry of the Interior have all been replaced. The purpose is to move these people to new positions and avoid the formation of various interest groups due to staying in one place for a long time.
These are some power balancing techniques used by those in power.
Of course, in Roton's opinion, there is another possibility.
That is, Laoxian will mainly support the Law Enforcement Bureau in the future, so the power of the Central Bureau of Investigation cannot be too great.
Therefore, it would be better to replace the Minister of Home Affairs so as to better ensure that the Central Bureau of Investigation will not cause any trouble when the Enforcement Directorate exercises its powers.
The purpose is again to suppress the privileges of the Central Bureau of Investigation.
After all, Laoxian had tasted too many benefits from the Law Enforcement Bureau before, and it was very useful, especially when it came to attacking political opponents.
As for why Moss went to see Allen, it was probably because he was attracted by Allen's identity as the Minister of Finance.
Before, anyone with a discerning eye could see the People’s Party’s advantage in this election, and victory was basically a foregone conclusion.
Since the ruling party is re-elected, the people in the corresponding positions will basically be re-elected as well.
That’s probably what Moss thought.
But who would have thought that Allen would retire.
Then wouldn’t the efforts he made to find Allen some time ago be in vain?
Of course, it cannot be said that it was a waste. Through Arun, I believe I can also get in touch with some other important people in the BJP.
For example, the new Finance Minister Nirmala.
However, for Moss, if he wants to win Nirmala's relationship, he will have to continue to invest a lot, and the effect is still unknown.
So Wieders said that Moss was probably cursing again now.
If anyone encounters such a thing, this is basically the same reaction.
"It seems that he is planning to follow some of the upper-level routes of the People's Party." said Roton.
"Logically speaking, even if he wanted to find some senior or core figures of the BJP, the priority should be Rajnath, but he did not make a choice. Instead, he chose Rajnath's arch-enemy Arun. This is quite interesting," said Vides.
"What do you have to say?" Rawdon asked.
He knew that Vides must have some explanation, and he might even have a lot of inside information.
"This matter has something to do with you." Vides said with a chuckle.
"Is it related to me?" Luo Dun was stunned for a moment, "I am confused."
"It's because of your promotion this time." Vides reminded.
When Luo Dun heard this, he understood it after a little thought.
"Are you saying that I am now threatening him in his future competition for the directorship of the Mabang General Administration?" asked Rawdon.
"Do you even need to ask? It's obvious." Vides said, "If you were still the Additional Director of Police, even if Moss was dissatisfied with you, he would not take any action. But now you are also the Special Director of Police, and you are on an equal footing with him in terms of police rank. You are also qualified to compete for the position of Director General of the Maharashtra Police Department. Before, he, the deputy director, was the most likely to succeed Shiva as the Director General of the Maharashtra Police Department. Even if he lost the position of Director General of the Mumbai Police Department, he still had an advantage among those deputy directors. And your promotion completely broke this situation."
Roton did not deny this. The change in attitude of those deputy directors towards him said it all.
You know, the possibility of those deputy directors being promoted is far less than that of Moss. If they all experience such changes, Moss, who was originally considered to have a high chance of succeeding the director of the General Administration, will definitely react more strongly.
"I think your promotion has stimulated him and made him very dissatisfied with the Ministry of the Interior. Everyone knows that you have a close relationship with Rajnath. So Moss probably felt that it was useless to find Rajnath, so he found Allen." Vides said again.
"Yes, the Ministry of Finance has a lot of power now, especially the Enforcement Bureau, which is now superior to the Central Bureau of Investigation." Luo Dun said, "If he can get Allen's support, I believe he can influence the opinions of many senior officials in the People's Party, which will be helpful when he competes for the director of the Maharashtra General Administration in the future."
Although this is a matter for the Ministry of Home Affairs, the appointment of a state director general is not something that the Minister of Home Affairs has the final say on alone.
The candidate still has to be confirmed by the Prime Minister, and before the Prime Minister confirms it, he or she must at least get the approval of most of the cabinet, that is, the ministers.
Unless there are special circumstances, the Prime Minister will respect the opinions of most ministers.
