Chapter 234: Karaturi's Ambition
When Herke and others returned to Constanta from Ploiesti with great gains, the Minister of Industry, Karaturi, was busy working in his office.
For Karaturi, these three years have been the easiest time for him as Minister of Industry. There is no need for government departments to supervise them, and now every Romanian citizen who has spare money in his hands knows what to do.
In fact, looking at Romania's economic development in recent years, Karaturi has not done much work. He is aiming at the current economy of Romania and guiding the society from the government level. At present, it seems that the effect is not bad, and the economic development of Romania has been very good in recent years.
Now that the government is much easier, Karaturi has begun to look elsewhere. Until now, he was just an ordinary high-ranking member of the Liberal Party, and he wanted to develop more in the party. In fact, having learned a lot from his uncle Sturle, he has learned to plan ahead. So he now needs to be one of the giants of the Liberal Party, at least one of the future prime ministers within the Liberal Party.
Then he needs to be one of the giants of the Liberal Party, and at least he needs to get the rest of the party to agree with him, but Karaturi has a huge advantage in this regard, and that is that he can get the king's support from Eder. As a powerful king, the support of the powerful king is very important to his own position in the party, and Karaturi knows very well.
Because his uncle told him more than once. "Without the king's support, you would not have been in charge of an important sector of the Romanian economy. It does not deny your abilities, but it can be more because of your attitude, your attitude to the king's instructions. ”
Karaturi thinks that his uncle's words are very correct, and he is very clear about his abilities. If it weren't for King Eder's strong support, he wouldn't have been in charge of an important department, and even the head of a fringe department would have been enough. Normally, he would be a deputy to a minister, waiting for the minister to step down for various reasons, and then compete with a group of competitors for the position.
So to be able to seize the opportunity to get to the present, Karaturi considered the impact of his first meeting with Eder very important, and he could be said to be one of the main means by which the king intervened in the government. Now Karaturi wants to remove one of them, then he needs to have a higher status in the Liberal Party, and the useful person can become a pawn, and Karaturi wants to be the most useful one.
Because he knew that the Prime Minister Brettianu and King Eder were getting along very well, and this was a compromise between the two sides because of the external war situation. In fact, the prime minister was very dissatisfied with the king's encroachment on many powers in the government, and now he had no choice but because the king's prestige was too high. As long as the prime minister is given a chance, then he will be the first to jump out against the king.
As for the king, it is also because only the prime minister can get a good relationship with the Entente at present. Allowing Romania to remain neutral in the face of war all around it tolerated some of the prime minister's petty actions. The Prime Minister's ability is also a factor, but it is not the main reason. You must know that your uncle Sturl is not known for his ability, but his obedience is the main reason why he has been in the position of prime minister for ten years. He was well aware of the king's temperament, and this was not a monarch who could be swayed by others.
Therefore, he believes that in the future, the prime minister and the king will definitely be the first to take the lead in not being able to bear each other. And of course he was on the side of the king, because he did not think that the prime minister could shake the king's position in the hearts of the people. At that time, it is not without the opportunity to be in the position of prime minister. But first of all, I need to get a big boost in my position in the Liberal Party, and now I can do it myself.
While Karaturi was planning for his future, his secretary knocked on the door and came in to speak. "Minister, Mr. Kling is visiting."
"Invite him in."
Brunson Kling is now a low-ranking deputy minister at the Ministry of Water Resources, which is not why Karaturi asked him. The reason for his real attention is that Mr. Klin is also a quasi-senior member of the Liberal Party, and he is also a Liberal person who is very dissatisfied with Prime Minister Brettianu.
The process of saying that they have a grudge is also very routine. It was when Kling was competing for the top of the Liberal Party that I. Kang Bretia, as the leader of the party, thought that Klinn was incapable of doing the job at the top. He then himself nominated his cousin Wentil Bretianu to become one of the top leaders of the Liberal Party. This made Brunson Kling angry, believing that he had been insulted, so he kept making trouble for the leader of the Liberal Party, I. Kang Bretia.
It's just that because his status is not too high, and the threat to Prime Minister Brettianu is negligible, he is not too concerned. However, his actions also made the prime minister's faction very annoying, so after the formation of the Liberal Cabinet, he was only given the post of deputy minister at the bottom of the ranking, and it was a very unimportant department.
Now Karaturi summoned him to see if he could pull him to his side and strengthen his faction.
After the secretary brought coffee and left, Carituri spoke to Klin, who was sitting in front of him. "Klin, I heard you're in trouble with the Prime Minister again?"
Clint, who had a chubby face with a wine trough nose, took a sip of coffee and reclined on the couch and said. "Isn't this another failure?"
Hearing Klin's words, Karaturi intended to pretend to persuade him. "It's not good for you to do this to yourself, and it's not going to make you feel better if you keep messing with the prime minister like this. And your strength is completely incapable of dealing with the prime minister, so I think this matter will be stopped for the time being. ”
Hearing Karaturi's words of persuasion, Klin immediately got up from the sofa, and he looked at Karaturi coldly. "If you want to be a lobbyist, then I don't think there's any need to stay, and I don't think I'll leave it with the Brettianu family."
With that, Kling got up and walked to the door, and just as he was about to open the door and leave, Karaturi's words stopped him.
"If you really want revenge, you'd better sit back."
Kling asked, turning to look at Karaturi, who was still sitting in his place. "What do you mean by that?"
"I'm very clear, if you really want revenge, you'd better sit back."
In the end, it was the hatred of Prime Minister Brettianu that made Kling sit back. That's when Karaturi said. "If you follow your method, you won't want to take revenge in this life."
Kling was also a politician and immediately understood Karaturi's intentions. "Do you want to deal with the Prime Minister too?"
"I'm not dealing with him, in fact, you just have to think about the person who can make the prime minister unable to pay, and you will know what to do."
Kling thought about it in his mind and suddenly realized. "You mean the royal family?"
He continued with a little doubt. "But at the moment the king has not shown any dissatisfaction with the prime minister?"
Seeing that Clint was not stupid, Karaturi continued to induce him. "What is the situation in Romania now?"
"The economic development is good."
"Where's the perimeter?"
"There is war all around."
Kling immediately understood. "There is war all around, and the king has no idea of changing the prime minister for the time being?"
"So you don't threaten the Prime Minister at all now, now at most disgusting him. The real opportunity is to wait until the end of the war. ”
Kling looked up and down as Karaturi looked up. "So, you're going to support me then?"
Karaturi took a sip of the coffee in front of him and said slowly. "I don't rule it out. But first, he needs to lose the king's trust, and I need you to join me. ”
Hearing Karaturi's undisguised words, Kling spoke after thinking about the pros and cons. "No problem, but when the time comes, you have to give me a ministerial position, and it can't be too unpopular."
"No problem."
After striking an alliance agreement with Carlin, Karaturi watched as the door was closed as he left. He now has a very deep understanding of Klin, no wonder Prime Minister Bretianu would say that he is not capable enough, which is really true, too greedy. As for the conditions he agreed, it would have to wait until he withstood the counterattack of the Brettianu family.
That's right, Kling was the bullet he was looking for, a bullet aimed at the prime minister. However, whether he can shoot it in the future depends on the situation of His Majesty Eder, and now he is just raising money for a rainy day.
PS: Regarding politics, I just want to summarize it with a sentence from Taizu. "There is no party in the party, imperial thought. There is no faction in the faction, and there are all kinds of strange things. "Politics is dirty, and if you clean yourself, don't play politics because you can't afford to lose.
