Chapter 1580 A War Without Winners (30)

"It seems that Albert really doesn't like politicians!"

After listening to Percy's detailed report, Kingsley was not angry about being rejected by Albert. Instead, he lamented that he had begun to become the person he hated before.

This was not the first time he had dealt with Albert. He was naturally very clear that he had no good feelings towards the Ministry of Magic or even most of the Ministry's employees. It was not difficult to see this from the fact that the other party reluctantly agreed to serve as a nominal senior advisor to support him.

"What should I do now?"

Percy carefully observed the expression on Kingsley's face. After confirming that the Minister was not angry about this matter, he could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. To be honest, Percy was very reluctant to see Kingsley and Albert have any unpleasant conflicts. It would not only make the situation very bad, but also make him embarrassed.

"Don't push those guys too hard. Find an opportunity to quietly open a gap and let those foreign dark wizards get out of Britain. There is no need to waste extra time and energy on them."

Kingsley was very clear about the current situation of the Ministry of Magic and was not interested in encircling and suppressing the remnants of Voldemort. After all, guys who can become dark wizards are not easy to mess with. Don't think that they were able to suppress them before, that was all thanks to Albert. Even Kingsley had to admit that this was the main reason why he desperately wanted to pull Albert on board.

It was really worry-free. With Albert's help to share the pressure, he could clean up the current mess faster and more easily.

Unfortunately, he was still rejected harshly.

Although this was within his expectations, it made Kingsley a little disappointed.

"I'm afraid that group of dark wizards are unwilling to appreciate it." Percy lowered his voice to remind, "Moreover, this kind of thing must be done secretly enough, otherwise it is easy to cause trouble."

Although the group of people from the International Confederation of Wizards had patted their butts and left quickly after brushing up their reputation, there are no fewer victims of hatred for dark wizards in the British wizarding world today. Once they know that the temporary minister they elected actually intends to compromise with the dark wizard who once harmed them, God knows what terrible things will happen.

Being directly driven out of office is an inevitable result.

But no one will care about your good intentions, they will only think that you have betrayed them, and such betrayal is sometimes unforgivable.

If it were Kingsley who had not yet taken on the heavy burden of "Minister of Magic", he would probably have similar thoughts.

But after serving as the interim Minister of Magic, he had to do everything he could to turn the tide, and his way of thinking also changed quietly.

It is not so easy to be the Minister of Magic, and many things are not as easy as he thought. If you want to do something well, you must compromise and make concessions in many places.

And Albert has seen all this very clearly, so he will not hesitate to put forward conditions to himself to avoid becoming the one who needs to compromise.

As for the so-called favor, Kingsley would not be stupid enough to think that it was a step left by Albert for himself.

That thing is essentially a transaction, a more straightforward transaction, just like Albert's title of senior consultant here.

So Kingsley would not consider this matter. He would rather let the Ministry of Magic give Albert a high bonus as a reward for helping the Ministry of Magic solve problems, and would not let himself owe a favor that is difficult to repay.

That's not worth it, because favors have to be repaid, and those that are difficult to repay should be avoided from a distance.

"Don't worry, we should focus on stability for now."

"As for other people's demands, just ignore them for now. After all, we have just taken over this hot thing, and we need time to sort out the Ministry of Magic. No one can complain about it." Kingsley made the decision directly, but he also knew that it would take a lot of effort to implement it.

"Remember to let the Daily Prophet reveal some news to divert everyone's attention." He ordered again, which is undoubtedly the best solution at present.

As for the countless problems that still exist, they can only be solved slowly over time.

Kingsley believes that even if Dumbledore is reborn, there is probably no good way, unless he adopts the ruthless method that Albert used in Hogwarts to cut the Gordian knot, but Kingsley doesn't want to do that, because that will make him bear countless black pots and make things more chaotic. He is really not that noble.

So let's take it slowly.

"How about Umbridge? That girl is so bad. I suggest using her as a target and letting reporters interview her. This will definitely divert everyone's attention." Percy has served as an assistant to several ministers and is very capable at work. He thought of a solution at the first time.

"Then let's do it. If it doesn't work, bring Umbridge out for trial." Kingsley didn't deal with the imprisoned dark wizards for the time being, just wanting to keep them as targets. If he had been the interim minister before, he would never have had such an idea.

It can only be said that the position and angle of standing are different, and even the views and practices have become different.

He suddenly understood why Dumbledore refused to serve as Minister of Magic many times during his lifetime, and also understood why Albert hated politicians so much.

Many politicians' behavior is really unpleasant. If I were my former self, it would be hard to imagine that I would become what I am now.

Unfortunately, there is no choice now.

It's not that Kingsley is arrogant. At present, he is the only one who is suitable for this position, and he is the only one who can barely ensure that the fruits of victory that everyone has worked hard for will not be stolen by others.

He has had enough and wants to take advantage of the opportunity that has finally come to make some new changes in the lifeless Ministry of Magic.

Otherwise, when the situation stabilizes, there will be no chance.

Well, even if Kingsley finds a lot of excuses for himself, he can't refute his idea that he is unwilling to give up.

But even Albert has admitted it and actively pushed him to sit in this position.

Kingsley's mood is extremely complicated, which is very similar to Fudge facing Dumbledore in the past.

He is so powerful. As long as he is willing to help a little, many troubles will be solved. As long as he is willing, one person can match the Aurors of the entire Ministry of Magic. At least Albert has that kind of power, especially when dealing with the Inferi.

This is definitely the simplest and most efficient solution, and there is no need to worry about the subsequent problems, but the other party decisively refused, and he had no choice, which made him feel quite helpless, and this helplessness may eventually turn into annoyance, just like Fudge in the past.

Unlike Fudge, Kingsley is still rational now, and has not been completely overwhelmed by power and desire to make Albert uncomfortable.
