Chapter 751 Intervention
"I heard that the Chancellor of the Exchequer has been very distressed recently. Did many people go to his side to demonstrate?"

In the office, the Prime Minister's sudden question stunned the assistant who was packing up the documents for a while.

In the past, the prime minister didn't care much about things (the number of times in the previous article was also seldom). Most of the time, he just read the newspaper, drank coffee or scented tea, and then participated in some out-of-town work on behalf of the emperor when necessary.

Sit or stand at the scene, and then read the speech entrusted to him by the emperor.

This is also the origin of his nickname of "mascot". He hardly expresses his own ideas too much. Many times he is just a decoration, a symbol.

Now that he suddenly asked this question, the assistant was a little uncomfortable, but he quickly reacted, "Yes, it is said that someone threw a stone at the glass of the Chancellor's house."

"That's really terrible!", the Prime Minister showed a kind of... anger?
The assistant wasn't sure what he saw was anger, because he vaguely noticed a smile when he bowed his head first, and soon, when he looked carefully, it was gone. He didn't know if it was his hallucination.

The Prime Minister frowned slightly and pondered for a moment, "Parades and demonstrations are normal, but there should not be such violent acts. Inform the police station to disperse these crowds and tell them the reason."

The assistant's answer was a few seconds late, and his thinking obviously couldn't keep up with the Prime Minister's thoughts. He needed to think carefully for a few seconds before he could discover some hidden problems.

When he wanted to understand, he suddenly felt a little hot, "Doing this...will it anger the people who are marching?"

His voice was very soft and low. What he wanted to express was not his resistance to this order, but a supplement.

The Prime Minister looked up at him, "Do you think it's the right choice to let these irrational demonstrations go?"

"They can throw stones in it today, they can shoot in it tomorrow, just do what I say."

The voice was not loud, but the pressure it brought was not small. The assistant knew that he had made a mistake, so he immediately agreed, and trotted out the door.

The Prime Minister looked at the slowly closing door and shook his head. The silence of these years has not only changed him, but even the sensitivity of his assistants has become so low.

What he wanted to do was to anger those people who were marching, otherwise how would the next drama start?
A few minutes later, the chief of the Imperial Police Department received a call.

"Hello, I am... Your Excellency the Prime Minister is very concerned about what happened yesterday."

"The demonstrations of the citizens of the empire should be a way of expressing their attitudes and opinions, not a way to generate violence. I hope you can disperse the gathered crowd as soon as possible and bring a stable order to the imperial capital."

The chief of the police station with the phone receiver didn't have much expression, he was talking nonsense, but out of politeness, he still dealt with it a little bit, "It's not that we don't want to do it, it's just that there are too many people, and riots are prone to occur."

"We have sent the police to be on duty and nothing like this will happen again."

The person in the receiver was not satisfied with his answer, "You don't need to explain what you did, all you have to do is disperse those people, they have broken away from the definition of demonstrations in imperial law, they are evolving into a violent group .”

"For the safety of the ministers, you should assume the responsibility of the chief of the police station. This is not a discussion, this is an order."

"Or, you don't want to carry it out?"

The attitude was unprecedentedly tough, which also made the chief of the police station feel something was wrong. Everyone knew that the prime minister was just a display.

Almost all discussions and decisions on national policies and political affairs are the results of direct discussions between His Majesty the Emperor and the ministers. The Prime Minister is often just listening in, occasionally expressing his own opinions, and not many people adopt them.

Now that the Prime Minister's Office is suddenly showing such aggressiveness, the Chief of Police realizes that a storm is coming.

He was shocked, a small person of his level has no ability to resist such a level of struggle, he immediately said in a deep voice, "I think I know what to do, I will disperse the crowd outside the house of the Chancellor of the Exchequer as soon as possible, and ensure that the Chancellor of the Empire safety of their lives and property.”

Three minutes later, a series of orders were issued from the Imperial Police Department, including the Second Police Department, which also received a request for coordination.

There are a total of nine police departments in the Gefra Empire, and the first police department is responsible for the daily work of the police.

The second police department is armed police, and their job is to suppress riots. After all, this is not a free country, and sometimes some unruly people will make troubles.

The Seventh Police Department belongs to the secret police and is responsible for arresting domestic criminals who may threaten national security.

Various other police departments also have their own responsibilities, and they have replaced the military's position in the mainland to a certain extent.

During the previous war, there was even a call from the society that instead of letting the army go out and lose face, it is better to throw the police as soldiers.

Of course, this kind of statement did not get the support of the police, and they didn't want to die, but it also reflected that in Gefra, the police is still a very powerful department, even surpassing the army.

First, the Second Police Department reacted quickly and dispatched some armored vehicles and armed police to the scene of the incident to deal with the incident.

At the same time, the Chancellor of the Exchequer did not sit at home in panic as the outside world imagined.

Although he didn't go anywhere at home, there was no panic or uneasiness on his face, except for the slow sullenness of those under his opponent, there was no panic.

He didn't believe that the people would attack his mansion. Assaulting a noble's private mansion is a felony in the empire, and it is the kind of life imprisonment.

If serious consequences are caused, it is possible to directly enjoy the punishment that nobles can enjoy-hanging.

He was still hanged in front of many people in the Imperial Square. Although this kind of treatment seems to be a kind of honor to some people, it does not mean that someone is really willing to be hanged in front of people.

Many, many years ago, there was a saying among some gangsters that "death will be hanged" to express their ambitions for their professional future.

Not only did the chancellor ignore the people at the door, he even arranged for some people to think of ways to promote further moves. He is now in a race against time, and he will do any method that can compete for time, no matter whether it is cheap or not.

He wants to portray himself as a victim, and then get sympathy points. It would be better if he can get hurt a little bit, but of course it is really not suitable for him to come out now.

It's like saying sorry immediately after someone punches you in the face. You will never forgive this person in anger, and you must punch back.

But if you run away after the person beats you, and after waiting for three to five days, someone comes to persuade you to forget it, and this person stands up and apologizes, you will feel that this is actually nothing, except to show your generosity, Maybe even have a chat with the other party.

Now the public’s money has just been defrauded because of the mistakes caused by the financial department staff accepting black money. These people are angry. Even if the chancellor kneels down at this time and begs these people’s forgiveness and returns their money, they will not listen. Also scold him a few words.

But wait a moment, wait until the emotional peak of these people has passed, and then cooperate with the investigation results, and add that he appears as aggrieved or even injured, and asks the public for forgiveness, and the people are likely to forgive him.

Of course, he will also come up with corresponding disposal methods to deal with the remaining money that has not had time to transfer away, as well as the disposal plan for other people.

So now the top priority is not to show something, that will only make things more and more chaotic.

As long as he buys the time and wins the support of some people, he will have more time to solve some problems.

Clean it from the inside, throw some people out, and it's settled.

He has arranged for people to interview some heavyweight listed companies, and hopes that these people can cooperate with him to raise the index.

As for the method of operation, it is also very simple, which is to change hands frequently to maximize the factor, and then pull up the stock prices of these heavyweight stocks, stop the downward trend of the financial index, and pull it up again.

This is beneficial and harmless to those listed companies. When the company's stock price increases, the value of their shareholders will increase, including the nobles behind them, and their wealth will also expand.

After this matter is settled, he will find a few unimportant subordinates and throw them out as scapegoats, and accept the interference of some external forces appropriately, such as the emperor wanting to install his confidants, so as to try to solve the dilemma first.

He has a lot of ways to turn the situation around bit by bit.

He conceived the whole plan for a whole day, and he didn't think there was any problem with the plan, he just had to wait for the result quietly.

But at this moment, the noise from outside the window made him frown, and he heard a neat pace. This kind of sound cannot appear on ordinary people, and other forces have intervened.

He stood up immediately, walked to the window, and saw the armed police...

The policemen held a weapon similar to a pole hammer, except that the hammer head in the weapon was metal, but now their hammer head is metal covered with a layer of rubber.

Hitting people hurts, but it is unlikely to cause irreparable results, such as smashing the head, it will only make people faint.

The neat police phalanx pressed forward step by step, and the patrol car following behind began to broadcast, demanding that people disband immediately and leave here, otherwise they will be held legally accountable.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer stared at these people dumbfounded. He couldn't imagine that he, the "victim", didn't call the police. Why are the police meddling in their own business?
He turned his head abruptly, returned to the table with a cannibalistic expression on his face, picked up the phone and called the chief of the police station, but unfortunately, no one answered.

If he could look at the window a little longer, he would find the chief of police in the phalanx...
