C2373 The Prime Minister Who Is Going Down

When Gordon walked out of the Rest Room, his mind was still buzzing numbly. What he had just seen was a top-notch national strategy that he had never seen before.

At this moment, he finally realised how superficial he was previously and how laughable his understanding of the national policy was. Shaking his head, he did not greet his old friends from the colonialist and walked towards the exit with big strides.

However, just as he turned the corner, he saw a scene that he could not bear to see.

The white-haired Benjamin was currently surrounded by the reporters at the entrance. There were a total of four people, the Guard and the Secretary, who were protecting the Head of the Guards, who was rushing out, unable to break through.

The reporters were truly crazy, they wanted Benjamin to speak, and every word that the old man said now was the headlines for tomorrow.

"Prime Minister, do you accept the outcome of this impeachment? "Will you take the initiative to go offline …"

"Mr. Benjamin, I heard that you want to forcefully dissolve the council? "Would you really do that …"

"Can you tell me if there are any important instructions for the emperor to meet with you alone?"

"Mr. Benjamin, please say something. If you go out, how will you spend your last years?"

"Mister... Sir, please say a few words. May I ask if your defeat was the great defeat of the Empire's colonialism? "

"Will our empire continue to expand in the future?"

"Mr. Benjamin, can you give all the citizens of Britain an explanation? Why are you so against compulsory education? "Why would you rather fight than increase your investment in internal affairs..."

The problem became more and more acrimonious, and at the beginning, people even called him Prime Minister, but after that, everyone started to call him by his name. Looking at Benjamin's dejected look, everyone knew that he had been completely defeated.

A phoenix without feathers is inferior to a chicken! The well-informed reporters had long ago stopped seeing this old man as their Prime Minister. The old man and his four bodyguards were like small boats in a storm as they drifted through the crowded crowd.

What made Gordon even angrier was that even the police officers of the Capitol Building who maintained order were all snobbish people. If the Prime Minister was surrounded by so many reporters, they would have already rushed forward to free him, but today, there were only a dozen of them hanging on the periphery of the crowd, shouting "order" and "order" at the top of their lungs.

More and more councilors stood in the distance to watch the show, especially Benjamin's political enemies who were watching with folded arms, the scene of him dropping a stone on the ground was incomparably sorrowful.

Gordon could not hold it in any longer, he rushed forward and used his robust body to block Benjamin. Make way for the Prime Minister... Damn you all, can't you have a little respect! Charge out! "

As he was born a military officer, his entire body was filled with energy. The Thames reporter opposite of him staggered under his charge, and after fighting three more times, he finally broke out of the encirclement.

Benjamin's face was ashen. Without saying a word, he walked out of the congress gate and rushed into the rain without even using his umbrella. Behind him, a group of reporters were chasing him with all their might.

The secretary opened the car door prematurely. Gordon helped the prime minister up and jumped onto the horse carriage. The reporters knew that there was no hope for them to get an interview, so they desperately pressed the shutter button to record of Old Benjamin's panic.

Inside the carriage, Gordon gave Benjamin a towel, "Wipe it! "Be careful of the cold …"

Benjamin took the towel and sighed, then shook his head: "You shouldn't have stepped out in front of the crowd, why must you accompany an old man like me to die? You still have a future, it's impossible for Gladstone to expel all the members of the Tory Party from the government.

Gordon's face immediately flushed red. He muttered under his breath, "Yes … Sorry... I... I just met Gladstone... "

The horse carriage moved steadily through the rain, Gordon knew that this kind of thing would happen sooner or later, so he decided to say it in advance, and repeated what he found that he could say to Benjamin.

The old man was incredibly calm. Only after Gordon finished speaking did he wipe his face.

"You think I'll be angry? "No, you're wrong. I actually think you did the right thing. You did very well!"

"This failure is actually just my personal failure. It doesn't count as the failure of the Tory Party, nor can it be said that our colonialism will forever be a failure …"

"If you stay and continue to work, you will be saving us all a bit of energy. This is very important … "To be honest, if you really leave London to work overseas, I think it would be a waste!"

"The Prime Minister... "Just now, Queen …" Seeing that Benjamin did not blame him, Gordon felt slightly better and asked the question that he was worried about with some hesitation.

could not help but lament and said, "Your Majesty wishes for me to peacefully transfer rights with Gladstone … As matters stand, I can no longer choose to go against the will of the council and forcefully dissolve it? "Forget it …"

"But fortunately, the Queen promised to give me ten days of buffer time, which was for my sake. During these ten days, Gladstone will make some announcements to the public, and for the current officials of the Tory Party, Gladstone will have to keep more than seventy percent of them …"

"This is good for both me and him. Give me a way down and don't make me look too ugly. Also, give him less resistance in his future governance …" "Don't worry, I won't admit defeat, I will one day rise again!"

"You think the Queen is not afraid of the Chinese? Do you think that your majesty is so trusting of Xiao Letian? Hehe … Right now, the situation is better than the enemy, we can't do anything, but if Xiao Letian makes a move in the future, then we will have a great chance to counterattack Gladstone at all costs! "

"Believe me, Xiao Letian is not a good person. As long as he feels that he has enough strength, he will definitely show his fangs at us. At that time, I will be the one to clean up the mess!"

This was the Queen's promise. As expected of a veteran in politics, he was well versed in the way of balance. Even if Benjamin was allowed to step down, the Queen had left a foreshadowing for the future.

With the ten days of buffer, Benjamin could still choose to take a step back. In this period of time, Benjamin could still choose to be tough with the outside world, but Gladstone's attitude was much more gentle, and it would be appropriate to make some concessions.

In the end, on the tenth day, Benjamin announced that he would go down with the Shadow Cabinet and undergo a power handover. This way, both sides would have face, and Benjamin's impression of him in the public eye wouldn't be too bad or crumbling, at least he wouldn't be completely defeated.

With Gladstone's proper retreat, the rift between the two parties could also be resolved, and there would be fewer obstacles in the future governance of the new government.

As for the Queen, she had obtained the right to control the stage, which was restricted by Gladstone when Benjamin stepped onto the stage. Now that Gladstone had stepped onto the stage, Benjamin's role had changed, becoming an important chess piece that restricted the Prime Minister.

Power must be restricted in order to not be unduly concentrated. The imperial government needed to be balanced in order for the royal family to exert influence.

The Queen is also a natural born master when it comes to scheming against others!

In the rain, the black horse carriage travelled through the streets. The passersby all looked at the carriage from the Downing Street's official residence and fell into deep thought.
