C2373 The Prime Minister Who Is Going Down (1/2)
When Gordon walked out of the Rest Room, his mind was still buzzing numbly. What he had just seen was a top-notch national strategy that he had never seen before.
At this moment, he finally realised how superficial he was previously and how laughable his understanding of the national policy was. Shaking his head, he did not greet his old friends from the colonialist and walked towards the exit with big strides.
However, just as he turned the corner, he saw a scene that he could not bear to see.
The white-haired Benjamin was currently surrounded by the reporters at the entrance. There were a total of four people, the Guard and the Secretary, who were protecting the Head of the Guards, who was rushing out, unable to break through.
The reporters were truly crazy, they wanted Benjamin to speak, and every word that the old man said now was the headlines for tomorrow.
”Prime Minister, do you accept the outcome of this impeachment? ”Will you take the initiative to go offline …”
”Mr. Benjamin, I heard that you want to forcefully dissolve the council? ”Would you really do that …”
”Can you tell me if there are any important instructions for the emperor to meet with you alone?”
”Mr. Benjamin, please say something. If you go out, how will you spend your last years?”
”Mister... Sir, please say a few words. May I ask if your defeat was the great defeat of the Empire's colonialism? ”
”Will our empire continue to expand in the future?”
”Mr. Benjamin, can you give all the citizens of Britain an explanation? Why are you so against compulsory education? ”Why would you rather fight than increase your investment in internal affairs...”
The problem became more and more acrimonious, and at the beginning, people even called him Prime Minister, but after that, everyone started to call him by his name. Looking at Benjamin's dejected look, everyone knew that he had been completely defeated.
A phoenix without feathers is inferior to a chicken! The well-informed reporters had long ago stopped seeing this old man as their Prime Minister. The old man and his four bodyguards were like small boats in a storm as they drifted through the crowded crowd.
What made Gordon even angrier was that even the police officers of the Capitol Building who maintained order were all snobbish people. If the Prime Minister was surrounded by so many reporters, they would have already rushed forward to free him, but today, there were only a dozen of them hanging on the periphery of the crowd, shouting ”order” and ”order” at the top of their lungs.
More and more councilors stood in the distance to watch the show, especially Benjamin's political enemies who were watching with folded arms, the scene of him dropping a stone on the ground was incomparably sorrowful.
Gordon could not hold it in any longer, he rushed forward and used his robust body to block Benjamin. Make way for the Prime Minister... Damn you all, can't you have a little respect! Charge out! ”
As he was born a military officer, his entire body was filled with energy. The Thames reporter opposite of him staggered under his charge, and after fighting three more times, he finally broke out of the encirclement.
Benjamin's face was ashen. Without saying a word, he walked out of the congress gate and rushed into the rain without even using his umbrella. Behind him, a group of reporters were chasing him with all their might.
The secretary opened the car door prematurely. Gordon helped the prime minister up and jumped onto the horse carriage. The reporters knew that there was no hope for them to get an interview, so they desperately pressed the shutter button to record of Old Benjamin's panic.
Inside the carriage, Gordon gave Benjamin a towel, ”Wipe it! ”Be careful of the cold …”
