Chapter 315 1 Soaring into the sky is nothing more than this
Apart from education, the next thing is the military. In other words, the equipment of Aurors and strikers must keep up.
In another year, Voldemort will almost be resurrected and the dark wizards will surely become rampant again.
Therefore, we must strengthen the Aurors and strikers now.
Sebastian didn't go into detail, but asked Percy to explain it in detail according to the contents of the plan.
Percy called this item Armaments and Emergency Fund Management, which means that the Finance Department will set up special funds to purchase equipment and use them to respond to emergencies such as war or other emergencies that affect the stability of the wizarding world.
Next, Percy breaks down the other departmental responsibilities of the Treasury Department.
For example, the Financial Secretary is responsible for drawing up the annual budget for the Ministry of Magic and allocating funds reasonably according to the needs of each department to ensure the smooth operation of various wizarding affairs.
The Transnational Economic Affairs Department is responsible for managing economic affairs between the Ministry of Magic and other countries in the wizarding world, including trade agreements, international cooperation funds, and helping to coordinate transnational financial cooperation to ensure that the British wizarding world maintains stability and growth in international economic activities.
There is also the most important fund supervision department, which will supervise the use of funds by the Ministry of Magic, ensure that funds are used properly, and prevent misappropriation or waste.
It conducts regular audits to ensure financial transparency and combat any form of corruption.
Percy explained all the details of the plan to Amelia one by one in an orderly manner.
After Amelia understood everything and agreed, Sebastian explained.
"Amelia, you have seen the importance of the Finance Department, so we must arrange for our own people to occupy all the key positions."
"No problem," Amelia thought for a moment, "I have a rough idea of the candidate. But there is one thing I need to say."
"In theory, you want to train Percy so hard to make him the financial secretary, but Percy is too young and has too little experience. If you let him become the financial secretary directly, it will not convince the public."
"So, my idea is to arrange for him to be the secretary of the director and train him for a few years first."
"As for the position of Director, I plan to invite our old friend Ceres, a veteran member of the Wizengamot and the Knights of Merlin, who has high prestige and can convince the public."
"The most important thing is that he is older, has a mild temperament and doesn't like to take charge of things. In this case, most of the work will definitely be handed over to Percy."
"As long as Percy's talent can convince the people below him, I can ensure that after Ceres retires, Percy will naturally take over his job."
Is that it?!
Percy's mouth was slightly open, his face flushed with excitement, and his hands and feet were shaking a little.
In his opinion, the best outcome would be to start as a small supervisor after joining the Financial Secretary.
Unexpectedly, the two big guys arranged the position of secretary to me during the conversation, and even the position of Financial Secretary was almost in my pocket.
Soaring into the sky is no different!
This is all thanks to Professor Swann, otherwise Director Burns would have no idea who he is.
Percy didn't think his father had such a high status in the Ministry of Magic.
Sure enough, if you want to succeed in politics, you must find a strong backer.
He looked at his mentor Sebastian with gratitude, feeling fortunate that he had joined his team so early on.
Sebastian smiled and nodded, knowing that this was the best outcome Amelia could arrange.
Seeing that Sebastian had no objection, Amelia made the decision immediately.
"If there are no problems, I will convene a Wizengamot meeting in the name of the Director of the Law Enforcement Department and finalize the Finance Department's matter as soon as possible."
"It just so happens that Fudge still owes me a huge favor. He must fully support me in this regard."
"Sebastian, you may not know this yet," Amelia said with a hint of gloating, "Before you came, I just got the news that Peter Pettigrew was rescued by his mother."
"Fudge is in a state of panic, and he is counting on me to handle the old case properly and help him restore his image."
Peter Pettigrew escaped from prison?
He was rescued by his mother!
Sebastian couldn't help but smack his lips.
Fudge was really embarrassed now, so he certainly wouldn't dare to offend Amelia. Otherwise, as long as Amelia did something, Fudge would become a complete joke.
Sebastian's mind was a little distracted.
Now for Fudge, Amelia can help him restore his reputation, but his real turning point should be this year's Quidditch World Cup.
According to Sebastian, after the trial of Peter, Fudge devoted most of his energy to the Quidditch World Cup and the Triwizard Tournament.
However, the Triwizard Tournament lasted too long, and the closest chance for a comeback is the Quidditch World Cup.
Thinking of this, a playful smile appeared on Sebastian's lips.
Poor Fudge, he certainly could not have imagined that this year's Quidditch World Cup was destined to be not peaceful, and his reputation would be trampled upon by those thugs.
In this case, tax reform should be Fudge's last straw this year.
"Amelia," Sebastian said in a deep voice, "Don't rush to convene the Wizengamot. Contact the people you need to contact privately first. Remember to use the magic contract and don't leak the news in advance."
"The pace of hearing old cases will also be slowed down a bit, and we'll try to hold it off until after the Quidditch World Cup."
"Wait until after the Quidditch World Cup, then you can hold a meeting. By then, Fudge will not only be able to help us, but he will also be more likely to jump out and act as our vanguard."
Is Fudge, that smooth politician, willing to be the vanguard?
You know, although the tax policy is beneficial to the wizarding world, implementing it is actually an offensive job.
Amelia couldn't imagine that Fudge would take the initiative to take the lead. In her expectation, Fudge should be happy to see the establishment of the Financial Secretary, but when it comes to tax reform, Fudge should only be a flag-waving and cheering role.
She looked at Sebastian in confusion, feeling that he was talking nonsense.
Seeing the other person's puzzled eyes, Sebastian smiled slightly: "Amelia, you have to trust my judgment."
In fact, everyone underestimated Fudge.
This is actually an ambitious person, and his pursuit of power, fame and fortune is ingrained in his bones.
He has always wanted to be the greatest Minister of Magic in the history of British wizarding world.
He looks smooth, but when his interests are really involved, he dares to stand up and fight.
This can be seen from the fact that he has been using various means to get rid of Dumbledore's influence.
However, although he dared to show his displeasure to Dumbledore, he still couldn't be tough when facing the pure-blood family.
Now, there was an opportunity before him to completely get rid of the influence of the pure-blood families on the Ministry of Magic. Sebastian didn't believe that Fudge would not be tempted.
You know, although tax reform may offend people, it is indeed a good thing that will benefit future generations, and it will be recorded in detail in many pages of magical history.
Even though there will be many people scolding him, there will be more parents and children who will remember his good points.
What's more, Fudge's face has been rubbed in various ways this year, and he will definitely seize this opportunity to take all the credit.
Sebastian didn't explain anything further, but discussed some details with Amelia and left her office.
When he walked into the hall of the Ministry of Magic, a familiar figure came into his sight.
Sebastian's eyes lit up and he hurried over to meet him.
"Principal Dumbledore, why are you here? I told you to contact Professor McGonagall and we'd go to your office together tomorrow."
