Chapter 64 Vortex

the next day,

The Lyceum Theater was renovated, and the audience it could accommodate was greatly reduced.

turn out! "Prime Minister" became popular in major newspapers and magazines, and a lot of discussions were raging.

These discussions point directly to Downing Street, Whitehall, the Palace of Westminster,

Gentlemen would never have imagined that at the end of 1900, the budget for the coming year was ready (the stolen goods were all divided), and suddenly such a blockbuster came out, which pushed the relationship between politicians and affairs officials to the cusp, and fell into a crisis. During public discussion.

...

Palace of Westminster.

Churchill and Wodehouse walked towards the office.

There are discussions all around,

"I see, Robert is going to have a hard time this time~"

"The citizens of London look at the flowers in a fog, and really think that the prime minister is a fool. The reason for not reducing the battleships is because of the pressure from the steward and the Royal Navy. This must make the prime minister very angry."

"If you admit that you are stupid, or if you admit that your policies are problematic, everyone will be annoyed."

"Ha ha……"

"Shh, be quiet!"

...

There are those who laugh,

angry ones,

There are those who stand on the sidelines.

because of! With the explosion of The Prime Minister, people will inevitably replace Robert Gascoigne-Cecil with Jim Harker,

How could the great British Empire be entrusted to such a man?

What a joke!

As a result, except for a few mouthpieces of the Conservative Party, all major media began to discuss the British government system.

In the end, the "Times" couldn't pretend to be dead anymore, and said a few words without pain.

Wodehouse said with a smile: "I didn't expect, I didn't expect, Mr. Lu actually gave us a big gift. I'm afraid the current cabinet is very busy... Hahaha, I can't help laughing when I think of what happened yesterday .”

"What happened yesterday" refers to Cecil bumping into the queen and being forced to toast Lu Shi,

If this matter got out, Cecil would definitely lose face.

Churchill sighed,

"Robert's been dazzled."

Because Churchill is still a Conservative Party member, he will use "Robert" to call Cecil.

The two chatted and came all the way to the door of Wodehouse's office.

They pushed the door open.

This office is more than five times larger than Churchill's office, decorated with ornamental greenery, furnished with a large desk, sofas, wine cabinets, armchairs, and even a cigar cabinet in the corner.

Churchill was also welcome, took a few cigars and put them in a small box,

Afterwards, he moved the chair and sat down, spread out the newspapers under his armpit on the table one by one, distracted and multi-tasking, and read at the same time.

Wodehouse glanced at the papers,

"When did you start reading the Financial Times?"

Churchill said: "Just a few days ago. The Financial Times is very professional and may become the favorite reading of those who master this country in the future. So, if possible, get in touch as soon as possible."

Wodehouse laughed,

"The people who run the country? You mean the big entrepreneurs and the big financiers?"

Churchill also laughed,

"No, I'm talking about the simple, good, determined and brave citizens of the British Empire. Don't forget, we are an elected country."

Wodehouse bowed mockingly and said: "Yes! Prime Minister."

Churchill responded: "Unfortunately you are not Humphrey."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

After a while, Churchill finished reading today's newspaper, put it aside casually, and said: "Oh, the "Manchester Guardian" is about to blow up the cabinet, and it just missed printing 'incompetent' on Robert's bald forehead." this phrase."

Wodehouse spread his hands,

"As you said just now, we are a democratically elected country, and the citizens can even enter the House of Commons to watch your passionate speech. Under the background of this kind of political universalization, the people's willingness to participate is high, and the prime minister will inevitably be criticized~"

Churchill rolled his eyes at the other party,

"What are you talking about... What's a 'passionate speech', why does it sound like a show!?"

It was.

Wodehouse didn't even bother to complain about each other.

Churchill showed a treacherous expression,

""Yes! The Prime Minister" focuses on the group of affairs officials, and the affairs officials do not participate in your so-called 'national politics'."

Wodehouse taps the opponent with his right hand,

"What you said is politically incorrect."

"Ha ha!"

"Ha ha!"

The two laughed heartily again.

In the eyes of political elites like them, it is better to expect the resurrection of Jesus than to expect the common people not to be confused. The latter is much more reliable than the former.

Wodehouse said: "You know what? Irwin and the Prime Minister seem to be at odds."

Churchill looked stunned,

"Why haven't I heard of it?"

Wodehouse shrugged,

"Winston, you are almost a traitor to the Conservative Party now. How could people tell you such a secret?"

Churchill was speechless, thinking that Wodehouse was still a member of the Liberal Party~

He asked: "Could it be that Erwin wants to use his brains on the budget and balance the accounts?"

Wodehouse nodded,

"It's clear at one point!"

Churchill touched his chin while thinking,

The people in the Royal Navy are full of fat, and no one will believe it if they say that they didn't eat or take it.

Now because of "Yes! "Prime Minister", the citizens are very concerned about the navy's expenditures, which puts the cabinet under enormous pressure, and all problems must be resolved quickly, so Erwin is ready to take this opportunity to cancel those previous matters.

I didn't expect a satirical drama to attract such a storm.

"Tsk..."

Churchill was speechless.

Wodehouse on the side said: "I don't know what Erwin thinks, I'm not afraid that Cecil will cut him?"

Churchill shook his head,

"No. Don't forget that the Conservative Party will never give up the interests of South Africa. Robert is still counting on the navy to fight with his life~ What's more, there is Germany in Europe. You can knock out your teeth and swallow them in your stomach."

Wodehouse sneered,

"Since a strong man can't break his wrist, then the chancellor of the exchequer should wait to resign."

Churchill sighed,

Chancellor of the Exchequer to resign?

At that time, I am afraid that the entire cabinet will be buried with him.

This is the cadence for tearing off the roof of the Conservative Party.

Of course, this matter still needs to be discussed in a long-term and gradually figured out. It will not be easy to do it in a month or two.

If something happens again during this time,

For example,

The Anglo-Boer War was suddenly won by Britain,

Germany's sudden brain twitch set off a world war,

The queen suddenly drove the crane west,

...

When a similar situation occurs, it is difficult to talk about it.

But in any case, everything is moving in the Liberal Party's favor.

Wodehouse showed a satisfied expression,

"I didn't expect, I didn't expect that Professor Lu would have such skill, and he would just rely on a play to create such a big vortex."

Churchill said: ""Yes! The Prime Minister" is just an inducement. The main reason is that Irwin and Robert can't pee in the same jug. .”

This amazing metaphor...

Wodehouse tried to imagine it, and suddenly felt that the picture was too beautiful.

He shook his head, cleared the absurd picture from his mind, and then said, "Before Lu Shi said that he wanted to set up a polling agency in London Politics and Economics. We will pay for it. The Liberal Party has always done what it said."

Churchill nodded,

In fact, he felt that Lu Shi's poll was better than "Yes! "Prime Minister" is even more powerful killer.

He didn't know how this feeling came from,

"Maybe I'm sensitive..."

Churchill was talking to himself in a voice only he could hear.
