Chapter 543 Acting Director of the Central Bureau of Investigation
Hermite still didn't quite understand how Vides would give everyone an explanation.
But judging from Vides's expression, he probably doesn't want to talk to me more now.
Hermite was still a little unhappy. Did he have to hide everything from him? "Don't think too much. I can tell you about this." Vides noticed Hermite's expression and couldn't help but say.
This made Hermite feel better.
It seems that I misunderstood Vides just now.
"I'm listening."
"I'm going to resign." Vides said this lightly. This matter really needed to be told to Hermite, because he also needed Hermite's support.
"What? No!" Hermite was startled and immediately shouted.
The cooperation between Vides and him is good.
Nirmala is being very aggressive now. If a new CBI director is appointed, I wonder if he can calm the situation down.
Although Vides could not withstand the offensive from Nirmala's side, but at least Vides dared to fight back, which allowed the Central Bureau of Investigation to remain powerful.
The power of the Central Bureau of Investigation has been suppressed, which is a big blow to him as the Home Minister.
He still wants to maintain this situation.
Rather than replacing a director who he cannot control, it is best to let Vides continue to serve.
Ermit even worried that the next director would likely be influenced by Nirmala.
Although we are all members of the People's Party, we should still put the overall situation first.
But he put the overall situation first, who would consider himself? During this period, he had actually made a lot of concessions.
But that woman Nirmala is pushing the envelope.
She was nominally targeting the Central Bureau of Investigation, but in the end it was him, the Home Minister, who suffered.
How could Nirmala not know?
But she still didn't give herself any face.
Nowadays, almost everyone only knows Nirmala, the Finance Minister. Because of the strength of the Enforcement Directorate, Nirmala has become a prominent figure in the political arena.
As a result, these ministers of powerful departments have become the foils of that woman.
As the Home Minister, he felt that he was being marginalized. Some guys who had a good relationship with Nirmala and some unpopular ministers dared to look at him in a bad light.
Hermite was very dissatisfied with this.
"The Law Enforcement Bureau is targeting me, don't they just want to get me out of office? Now I will help them and resign on my own." Vides said with a smile.
"Are you kidding me?" Hermite shouted, "Do you think everything will be fine if you resign? If they really want to target you, wouldn't it be even worse if you resign? You won't have any power by then."
"Indeed, that guy Powede will definitely retaliate." said Vides.
"Then why did you resign?" Hermite couldn't understand Vides's train of thought.
Who would voluntarily give up a powerful position like the Director of the Central Bureau of Investigation? "I think this may be the best option." Vides said, "If I were still in this position, I'm afraid it would be difficult for you to replace the Minister of the Interior."
Hermite was silent for a moment.
This is true. He is a little restrained now.
Logically, he should be on the side of the BJP and should cooperate with Nirmala in fighting against the CBI.
But the CBI is the main power on his side and if he really wants to cooperate with Nirmala, won’t that be reducing his own power?
He definitely wouldn't do such a stupid thing.
As a result, this led to Hermite's position being somewhat awkward between the two parties.
Now he can only pretend not to see it and not help either side.
"Whatever you think, just say it," Hermite said.
He believed that Vides must have thought it over carefully and made adequate preparations for what he did.
"I want Rodon to take over," said Vides.
"This~~this is unlikely." Hermite said immediately with his eyes wide open after hearing it.
"I know that Rawdon's young age is a disadvantage."
"It's not just his young age." Ermit interrupted Vides. "He has just been transferred to the Delhi branch as director. You gave him the position of deputy director a few days ago, and now you let him be the director. Do you think you are playing a game? How do you want others to see you? Besides, he is the director of the Central Bureau of Investigation. Even I can't make the final decision. It's difficult for me to convince others. Especially Nirmala, she will never agree. She is very powerful now, and I'm afraid the Prime Minister will stand on her side by then."
In his heart, Ermite certainly hopes that Rotten can take over if Vides really resigns.
But this is too difficult, and Roton's shortcomings are too obvious.
If things go according to normal circumstances, when Vides retires in a few years and Rodon takes over, the pressure will probably be much less.
Given the current situation, it is difficult for him, the Minister of the Interior, to support it.
Of course, he believed that even if he supported it, it would definitely not be passed at the ministerial meeting.
"Letting Roden serve as the director is the opinion of everyone in the Central Bureau of Investigation," said Vides. "I believe the Prime Minister will understand everyone's feelings when the time comes."
Hermite was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Vides was planning this.
To be honest, the opinion of the Central Bureau of Investigation is also very important in the selection of the director.
But generally speaking, there are still many differences of opinion within the Central Bureau of Investigation. After all, there are too many factions, so the appointment of family members is often influenced by the ruling party.
It's different now. Didn't Vides just carry out a major purge of the Central Bureau of Investigation? Those so-called opposition parties are basically unable to participate in the decision-making within the Central Bureau of Investigation. It can be said that Vides really has the final say now.
The others are also Vides' trusted subordinates.
If the Central Bureau of Investigation unanimously nominates Rotun to take the position, the government will also be under great pressure.
At this time, if the government forcibly appoints other candidates, it will definitely be resisted by the entire Central Bureau of Investigation.
By then, the director will not be able to carry out his work at all, and it will also cause greater conflicts between the Central Bureau of Investigation and the government.
No wonder Vides made such a big fuss, it turns out he had this in mind.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Hermite understood that after Vides voluntarily resigned, he let Rotun take over. To Rotun, Vides had done him a great favor.
Then why would Roton not take care of Vides?
At that time, if Vides retired at the right time and voluntarily gave up the position of director, it would be a bit unreasonable for Nirmala to continue pursuing him.
With the help of Roton, Vides was able to land safely.
If Vides continues to fight against Nirmala, his life will be really difficult after he retires.
"The opinions of all members of the Central Bureau of Investigation are of course important, but this matter is still full of variables." Weiders said, "With Roden as the director, the possibility of passing is still not high."
Vides couldn't help but smile.
"What are you laughing at?" Hermite said, "I am telling the truth. Don't think you can hijack some government appointments in this way."
"Of course, I have no intention of kidnapping the government." Vides laughed.
"So what are you thinking about?" Hermite asked with some confusion.
"Actually, I know it's very difficult to let Roton be the director now," said Widdes.
"Your words make me even more confused. What the hell are you doing?"
"If the director is not okay, then what about the acting director?" asked Vides.
"You?" Hermite's eyes widened. He finally understood what Vides meant. "So that's what you were planning."
"Well, you and I both know that it would be best if Roton took the position, which would benefit all of us." Vides sighed and said, "Now we should first propose that Roton be appointed as the director, so that we can have room for bargaining."
"Your method is quite reliable." Hermite thought for a while and said, "If you really resign, it won't be a big problem to let Rawdon be the acting director for a while. After all, he is now the first deputy director. When the CBI is without a director, he will naturally be responsible for the affairs of the bureau. But there is a problem. The CBI cannot be without a director for a long time, and Rawdon, the acting director, will not be able to stay for long."
"I want to let Roton serve as acting director for as long as possible," said Vides. "After a year or two, I want to make Roton a full-time director. The resistance should be much smaller then."
"One or two years?" Hermite was a little speechless. "Are you kidding? How can the director of the Central Bureau of Investigation be vacant for so long? I think half a year is the maximum."
"In fact, I think it's best to stick with it for two years," said Vides. "I think with everyone's efforts, I believe we can still do it."
"How to do it? That's too outrageous." Hermite was not optimistic.
"The next election is only about two years away," said Vides. "Those political parties have already started taking action, and of course your People's Party is also making efforts. As time gets closer, I think your main focus should be on the election. If the current and retired people in the Central Bureau of Investigation, as well as Rawdon, make efforts, I believe Rawdon can stay in the position of acting director for a while longer."
Hermit understood that Vides was talking about the CBI department, such as the old men like Sharif and their connections.
In addition to these, Rotten himself has an extraordinary network of contacts, and there is also the influence of his wife's family.
With the combined efforts of these forces, the Prime Minister will probably give in.
After all, the election is what matters.
Although Rodon's coming to power is not the best solution for the People's Party, it is not unacceptable.
Just like the Prime Minister agreed to let Rodon serve as the director of the Delhi branch of the Central Bureau of Investigation because Rodon was still rational.
Such people have principles, are easier to deal with, and have sense of propriety.
"I also support the matter of Rawdon," said Hermite.
If we really want Roden to serve as acting director, the longer the better.
Rodon's influence is much greater than that of Vides.
If Rodon takes full charge of the Central Bureau of Investigation, it will be difficult for Nirmala to target us.
Then I would be the real Minister of the Interior.
I feel so pathetic as a minister now.
