Chapter 1453: Term of Office (Sincere Thanks to the Leader for Loving Him Lord Tiger)
Bulgaria's territory will be divided. This is news that many people have guessed or directly known. However, what is different from what they first learned is that in addition to the shares of Durmstrang School, the UK will also leave. In addition, they actually did not participate in the carving up of Bulgaria's land, but gave it all away to other countries who originally expected to only receive more monetary compensation.
This unreasonable phenomenon led wizards to speculate on the purpose behind Harris's move.
…
Sure enough, not long after, the British Minister of Magic Owen himself came to the podium, with his hands on the stage, his face rosy and full of energy. He was not wearing formal magic robes, but was wearing the same H94 Auror uniform as the day the war was declared. This made many wizards know that something would happen next, because the war was over, and he was still wearing this uniform. clothing…
"Today belongs to you, to the purest generation that has experienced war victory. You are the future." Owen stretched out his right hand and waved his arm violently upward with his fingers. "We have won the victory, but we cannot relax and must always be vigilant. The enemies of our country are still at large... After seizing the headquarters of the former German Ministry of Magic, we have obtained more evidence, especially the mastermind behind this attack - there is an even more evil country hiding behind this attack. .”
"Make them pay!" "Who are they?" "Hiding insidiously behind?"
Many British wizards in the auditorium burst into angry shouts and waved their arms angrily.
In fact, the UK did not suffer much more damage than other countries in this attack, but now that they have tasted the benefits of sharing the spoils just now, they are very willing to encourage and shout for their country in this regard - even those who People who have immigrated not long ago, because this way they can quickly improve their status without looking like outsiders.
"We seized some letters from Mr. Thalmann, the mastermind who committed suicide in fear of crime. We also got confirmation from the former German diplomatic ambassador Goebbels that American goblins often come in and out of Thalmann's office." Irving gestured with his fingers. A number 7 appeared in the sky, "Seven days! Our Department of International Magical Cooperation will send formal diplomatic representations to the Magical Congress of the United States of America. Since the current lists involved in the attack are from some radical parties in the United States, we have decided to give them a week for the sake of peace. , As long as the United States extradites those anti-wizard criminals to the International Federation on the Floating City and allows these criminals to receive the trial and punishment they deserve, then we will not take further countermeasures."
Now the wizards finally understand why Britain didn't have any plot against France and Bulgaria just now - they don't have a small appetite, they clearly have a big appetite and they can't look down on these two countries, and they have set their sights on the fat meat of the United States.
The British now ran out of Bulgaria and handed it over to other countries to divide it. This was used as a benefit to block the mouths of some big countries, so that they would not have objections to the British actions of the United States in the future, and the opinions of those small countries would not be raised at this moment. It seems so important - on the contrary, if it jumps out and lets the UK use the same excuse to say that the participants in the attack gave it to other countries to divide it up...
"But friends, compared to these punishments, these are measures to make amends or even revenge later..." Owen's rich voice became heavy, "I would like to ask more, why do terrorist attacks occur? In fact, every country has more or less Got some news? Why didn’t our British government make enough response to avoid the tragedy..."
The wizards looked at each other, hearing that Minister Harris put the responsibility on the government itself, and felt that it made sense - but no media had considered reporting from this angle. Most of them wanted to shirk responsibility. This somewhat unreasonable topic was It left the audience a little embarrassed because they didn't know how to respond.
"I have to admit that, as everyone thinks, this is the incompetence of the Ministry of Magic that I lead." Owen sighed, "After I became the minister, this is the biggest feeling for a long time...especially when we come into contact with those whose lives are far more complicated than After the Muggle governments we lagged behind...my biggest feeling is that the management mechanism of our previous Ministry of Magic lacked details and was slow and inefficient." Owen looked very ashamed, "I even know that many departments in the Ministry of Magic Officials, when formulating relevant laws, can leave loopholes in the law at will to facilitate their own actions... Just like in our Ministry of Magic, there were wizards who made a storm in someone's office in order to express their protest... I really feel now The worry is that in addition to the original British magic world, the floating city and the German magic world that are about to join are now added. The increase in area will make these disadvantages more prominent..."
Owen directly admitted the inefficiency of the Ministry of Magic, letting the wizards who are actually quite smart understand that now that they have said this in public, there will definitely be a solution. This should be exactly Owen's purpose - only Arthur in the audience Hearing this, his face turned red, and even his somewhat bald forehead shone brightly. He was one of the officials who gave himself a way out when formulating laws.
"I have to thank Mr. Felipe Crevat. It was he and my son Len who revised the new constitution based on the more rigorous laws of the Muggles." Owen paused and slowed down. "Let me briefly introduce that the core of this new bill is the separation of three powers: the department that immediately enacts laws, the department responsible for management and execution, and the supervision and trial department. The three kinds of state power are exercised by state agencies with different functions and restrict each other." and balance... And this bill will unify the laws of the United Kingdom, the Floating City, and Germany, instead of allowing local governments to have their own special laws as before... In this way, through mutual supervision, the Ministry of Magic and ordinary wizards will be able to All actions are based on the law. In the current era of population explosion, I hope to weaken some unreasonable privileges as much as possible and prevent the law from being abused by individual officials at will."
There was a buzz, and the discussion in the auditorium was much louder than before. Minister Harris did not continue talking immediately. He was obviously giving himself, the audience, time to react and understand. Many wizards in the audience began to admire Harris. This approach is to ensure the interests of civilian wizards, but some Muggle-born wizards who understand this set of things are a little confused - they know that this method does not make the government efficient, on the contrary, it can even become procrastinating. For example, It took decades to build a road or something like that...
"This is the first solution I think of when I notice some problems, because no matter what, it always at least makes things legal... But after encountering this attack, I understand that this is not enough. Because there are all kinds of great forces and emergencies in the magical world, in the face of emergency situations, it is useless to just rely on strict laws. At critical moments... it needs the ability to quickly deal with these troubles at critical moments." Owen said softly He coughed and said, "I thought of a solution for this, but before I say it, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net I want to ask you a question - the magic world has progressed at a rate that has never been seen in hundreds of thousands of years in the past few years. Yes, what’s the reason for this?”
"Umbrella!"
"Alan Harris."
"Ravenclaw goddess..."
Everyone in the ceremony hall shouted out their answers loudly. After the wizards discussed for a while, Owen put his hands down and silenced the auditorium where there was some discussion.
"I agree with what everyone said... The recent progress is a proof that the power of individuals in our magical world can change reality..." Owen's eyes met the wizards who had just answered loudly, and he nodded at them with his chin. , "I can't blame previous ministers for not doing their job, because here's another factor I've discovered about the slow progress of the wizarding world, and that is the tenure of leaders... The tenure of each Minister of Magic is based on the default rule. It will not exceed seven years... This means that even the most ambitious and capable government will be unable to realize the development blueprint due to this problem... Because if the subsequent successor cannot implement the predecessor's ideas and plans, this is almost inevitable It happened...because if we don’t make some changes, those who come after us will have no sense of existence..."
