Chapter 785 Let the bullets fly
William was neither appointed, nor had he talked and laughed with Wallace, but there was a reason why he was so rude.
There must be quite a few reporters who knew the news of the two's return; but those who were able to enter the Ministry of Magic and be blocked in the lobby... were very few.
It can even be said that it is completely impossible!
Secretary Fudge will not allow this to happen.
William's operations abroad, especially after saving Vienna, although the international public opinion is mostly ridiculed, but it also illustrates a problem:
His popularity has reached an unprecedented level. It is not too much to say that he surpasses Dumbledore.
The obvious traffic star... The headlines of the magic newspapers in various countries are also William and Hermione again and again.
Let me just say: If you don't know Stark in your life, even the Demon King will be in vain... It's not too much.
Why was William able to persuade the federation to let Dumbledore, the "abandoned president", regain the position of interim president?
Apart from the need for such a wizard to sit in charge, William's opinion, even the Federation, had to be carefully considered.
Everyone is counting on him to fight against the Giant Monster of the North Sea!
This is the ballast stone for the stability of the magic world in the next hundred years!
And because of this fame, William said that Voldemort had been resurrected... most foreign wizards would believe it!
He said that the giant monster of the North Sea was released by Voldemort... Everyone believed it!
This is influence!
And this kind of influence, for Fudge, is the pressure of international public opinion.
It was an invisible but real pressure.
The most intuitive performance:
The Ministry of Magic of many countries banned the UK from sailing, and called it an international deserter, the darkest hour in Europe.
Even the International Federation of Wizards is waiting for investigators to find out whether Voldemort is resurrected, so that the British Isles can be listed as a "Level [-] Dangerous Zone".
It means... travel is risky, and you need to be cautious when going to England.
Fudge is resisting this kind of international pressure, and at the same time, he is also controlling speech at home.
The pressure is really great!
At this moment, how could he allow reporters to come to the ministry to interview William without authorization?
Unless these reporters were hired by Fudge.
No matter what William answered, they would make big news and criticize him.
Fudge, nave!
That being the case, why should William be polite to these people?
So, amidst the stunned eyes of everyone, William dragged Hermione away...with extreme arrogance.
Walking halfway, the expected stumbling block appeared - Fudge.
He was obviously waiting for the two of them, with a smirk on his face, he walked quickly, and said enthusiastically:
"William, Hermione, have you two returned from Switzerland?"
"Mr. Minister, hello." William also smiled:
"It's been a long time since the last Triwizard Tournament ended."
Fudge was a little embarrassed. The conversation on the night of the final was not a pleasant one - he refused to believe that Voldemort had returned.
But the minister is the minister, and a little embarrassment is nothing. He took the initiative to invite:
"Come on, go to my office for a chat, you two come to my house for dinner at noon.
Let's talk about recent events, especially the International Conference of Wizards.
You saved Vienna... Oh, how glad I am! "
William didn't see that Fudge was happy, but he knew well that the Minister was making a final win.
William shook his head directly and said:
"No, my sister is waiting for us at the door. We haven't seen her for a month."
"William..." Fudge hesitated: "There is no need to guard me like this.
I think...you may have misunderstood me under the influence of Dumbledore.
I can explain clearly! "
Fudge put on a low profile, completely different from June's aggressiveness.
"No, Minister, I have not misunderstood you at all..." William smiled and said bluntly:
"I know you as well as I know 'Voldemort is back'."
Fudge shuddered at the sound of Voldemort's name.
He shrank his head and sighed:
"William, why use such methods and reasons?
You and I both know that the mysterious man has not been resurrected.
Are you doing this because you want to seize power and turn me into a puppet minister? "
Fudge is also straight to the point, no longer trying to cover up.
He never thought that the mysterious man could be resurrected.
The mysterious person has disappeared for 14 years. If he could be revived, he would have been revived long ago. How about waiting until today? !
Lie to a fool!
What William is doing now is nothing more than a political means... He wants to use the mysterious man to make a fuss and turn him, the minister, into a puppet.
Fudge continued:
"It's really not necessary to do this, it makes everyone panic.
You still have two years to graduate. Even if you want to be a minister, you have to go through the process, right? "
Fudge was kindly like the old gatekeeper next door, he said softly:
"After you graduate, you can come to work beside me. In the first year, you will be assistant to the minister. Within three years, you will be promoted to senior secretary. After the fifth year, I will hand over the position of minister... to you!
you,
Still the youngest Minister of Magic ever!
And with my help, every step is very steady.
I am your political resource!
how is it? "
Fudge patted William on the shoulder, and made a promise that he had thought about for a long time before making up his mind.
Before he slapped Dumbledore off, it was smooth sailing, a little drifting.
Unexpectedly, William helped Dumbledore back to the position of president...and poured cold water on Fudge.
He's thinking about making concessions now, reaching a compromise with each other... don't try to kill him.
William looked directly into Fudge's eyes and sneered, "Minister, you still haven't figured out the current situation.
More than stupid, downright stupid. "
Seeing William's mocking expression, Fudge was instantly annoyed...he was really annoyed!
You know, he wanted to break the longest tenure before... but now he is willing to serve another seven years before retiring.
Isn't this concession big enough?
My dignified minister, I negotiated terms with you in a good voice, and you still press me?
Fudge loosened his collar and threatened:
"William, I'm still a minister! I haven't retired yet!
Don't embarrass me by pressing so hard.
Pushing me into a hurry is not good for everyone! "
"Are you embarrassed, Minister?" William said calmly:
"But many wizards have been killed in the process of fighting against Voldemort.
They didn't even have an embarrassing opportunity! "
William has sharp eyes and a cold voice:
"what about you?
Because of your obstruction, many Death Eaters escaped successfully on the night of Voldemort's resurrection;
Because of your stupidity, the Ministry of Magic is still unable to organize effective forces to fight against Voldemort;
Because of your delay, more people may die in the future! "
"You still come to me to compromise and negotiate terms with me?"
William said loudly:
"An ignorant, impetuous, power-obsessed idiot like you wants to be a minister for another seven years?!"
Fudge blushed and took two steps back.
"Bah!" William approached him.
"Do you think that I have done so much to become a minister, or to deal with you?
Wrong, the position of the minister and you are not important to me!
It means a lot to me without you! "
William turned and left, Hermione took his hand and left together.
Fudge stood where he was, his face livid, his fists clenched, his veins exposed.
He kept repeating: "You forced me, you forced me!"
When he was about to walk out of the Ministry of Magic, William whispered, "Tell Rita, it's time to fight back."
Throughout July, William and Hermione were abroad, and Rita was not allowed to publish.
He was afraid that a combined punch would stun Fudge.
After all, at that time, Fudge hadn't controlled public opinion, and there was no publicity: Voldemort hadn't been resurrected.
Even if the evidence is thrown out, it can't prove that there is something wrong with Fudge.
Well now, Fudge advertised for a month that Voldemort hadn't been resurrected, and William threw out evidence to slap him in the face.
The tighter the pressure, the stronger the backlash from public opinion.
"The bullets have been flying for too long..." William walked out of the door, and he had already seen Annie's smiling face.
William stretched out his hand to block the sun, and murmured:
"Minister Fudge is a decent person. Since he doesn't want to be decent, I will help him to be decent."
