Chapter 504 Fudge’s Transformation
·
Bai Bai Le Kai Shui
"good afternoon."
Fudge walked briskly into the conference room deep in the Ministry of Magic, attracting the attention of everyone who had been waiting here.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but smile.
He had been in the joint operations office before the meeting began.
The first is to chat with Tver about the current situation in the magic world. Of course, Tver is mainly talking and he is listening.
But that didn't stop him from realizing that the mysterious man was simply not something he could deal with. Even if he had predicted it in advance, there was no way he could deal with the mysterious man's plan that almost killed four birds with one stone last night!
Under such circumstances, it would be torture for him to continue to stay in the position of minister!
Even without Barty Crouch, people would not want to see him continue as minister!
So after realizing this, he simply accepted the new position, which was also the second reason why he stayed in the office——
Get familiar with his new job.
Being able to become a minister, Fudge is actually not as incompetent as everyone thinks.
It's just that his obsession with the ministerial position forced him to fight against Dumbledore and Tweel, and he didn't have the matching strength, so he seemed incompetent and angry.
After all, even Voldemort had to flee when faced with the combination of these two people. He can persist for more than a year as Fudge, which is already considered good...
But now that he has decided to step down from the position of minister and no longer be limited to the one-third of an acre of the Ministry of Magic, his horizons have naturally broadened a lot.
His behavior is also closer to the comprehensive and versatile style he was famous for before he became a minister.
This is why Tver chose to keep him in the office.
The Joint Operations Office is about to become an extremely important department in the next few years, and it will need to communicate more and more.
And Fudge, who is familiar with the Ministry of Magic and is a politician, can easily share Tver's work.
Therefore, when he thought about this important department that bridged the two worlds and had the power to command the violent organs of the two regimes, after being entrusted to him by Tver, the smile on Fudge's face was much brighter than when he left the Ministry of Magic frustrated in the morning. Got it!
"Although I don't know the reason, can you stop that silly smile of yours? We've been watching you giggle there for 10 minutes!"
Babajid shouted angrily, banging his hand on the table in an attempt to bring Fudge out of his reverie.
"Cough, sorry."
Fudge straightened his expression and looked at the people attending the meeting.
In fact, there were not many. Apart from him and Umbridge, there were only Babajid representing the Wizards' Federation, Dumbledore representing the Order of the Phoenix, and Barty and Cynthia who were preparing to take over.
The last person to come in was Tver, who did not represent any apparent power but was related to everyone present. Behind him was Percy, a young assistant who no longer concealed his identity.
Seeing this situation, Fudge was immediately impressed by his wit in the morning.
He jumped out of a huge pit and chose a bright future!
When he thought of this, Fudge couldn't control the smile on his face, and frequently glanced at Barty who was about to suffer, making him feel terrified.
"Now that everyone is here, let's start this meeting as soon as possible. The mysterious man will not let us have time to have a slow meeting."
Barty coughed twice and naturally began to take over Fudge's previous role.
Although becoming deputy minister brought him closer to the center of power and allowed people to re-recognize him as a ministerial candidate who had been left out in the cold, the lack of actual power had long made him impatient!
"I won't go into details about what happened last night. Now, the mysterious man not only took away the dementors and, uh, half of the Death Eaters in Azkaban, he also caused such a big fuss in front of the Muggles. Movement, I thought, someone had to do this..."
"I'm in charge!"
Fudge said matter-of-factly, even a little impatiently.
"I was deceived by a mysterious man yesterday. Not only did I fail to take the correct response, but I also interfered with Dumbledore's actions."
"I……"
At this moment, Fudge felt a trace of reluctance in his heart. However, after receiving a faint glance from Tver, he swallowed his saliva and continued: "I am ashamed of my trust in the wizarding world. I have decided to resign and recommend him to someone far away." Mr. Barty Crouch, who is more capable than I am, takes over as Minister for Magic!"
Fudge's bluntness made Barty unable to say what he had prepared.
Of course, the election of ministers is not completed by relying on the recommendation of the previous minister, but Barty always has a trace of stain in the eyes of wizards because of his own son.
Fudge's recommendation will play a vital role in winning over other people within the Ministry of Magic.
Therefore, even the dejected Umbridge looked at Fudge with a righteous face in astonishment, with probing eyes that seemed to want to dig him open to see if he was disguised as someone using polyjuice potion.
Dumbledore, on the other hand, calmly glanced at Tweel, who had just walked in with Fudge, and his calm eyes seemed to have thought of something.
"Everyone, this meeting is mainly about how to deal with the mysterious man and clean up the mess he caused." Babajid continued to tap on the table helplessly, bringing back the meeting that had gone awry.
"I don't care who the British Ministry of Magic chooses to be the minister. What I care more about is how the British Ministry of Magic decides to treat the mysterious man!"
"Are you as indifferent as before, or -"
Since Fudge was so straightforward, Barty Crouch stopped pretending and directly acted as the minister, looking at Babajid and others present with a strong posture.
"The Ministry of Magic will respond with a strong attitude to the criminal behavior of the mysterious man and his henchmen!"
Babajide didn't pay attention when his words were interrupted, but smiled with some appreciation.
The experience of the past year and the last Wizarding War told him that the threat of the mysterious man itself was not high, or in other words, someone would deal with the mysterious man.
The magical world, including the Ministry of Magic and the Wizards' Federation, actually mainly have to deal with the subordinates of the mysterious man!
If the Ministry of Magic could stand up and crack down on these Death Eaters, it would be easier for the Federation to carry out its work.
"How to be tough?"
Dumbledore, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
"If the Ministry of Magic takes a tough crackdown, not to mention losing manpower, how can it avoid exposing the magical world during the crackdown?"
"I think that as long as he can achieve his goal, Voldemort will never pity the lives of his men."
This question immediately stopped Bati and Babajide.
During the last wizarding war, the Death Eaters and giants always made a lot of noise, but fortunately Muggle technology had not made any progress, and the actions of the Ministry of Magic and the Federation were relatively mild, so there was no large-scale commotion. Leaks.
But today is different from the past. They can't just be beaten passively like last time and then wait for the mysterious man to be defeated by a baby, right?
What's more, isn't it you, Dumbledore, who has always advocated being tough on the mysterious man? !
Fudge walked briskly into the conference room deep in the Ministry of Magic, attracting the attention of everyone who had been waiting here.
