After some explanations, Ferenc was relieved, which showed how stubborn he was. However, both Baojani and Szechenyi were not surprised. They both knew that the other person had this character and would not change in his life. Moreover,
They also prefer to be friends with such upright people. If Ferenc is replaced by Kossuth, they will not be happy even if the latter allows the party to shine and take the initiative.
"Tomorrow we will formally question this matter in parliament and inform all colleagues so that everyone can be prepared. This matter is very important and cannot be sloppy, especially Kossuth and others. We must work together to urge them.
We will get to the bottom of this investigation!"
This is Baojani's final decision. Ferenc is quite satisfied with this decision. He feels that this is the attitude of taking matters into consideration and doing everything for the public. This should be the case whether you are a person or a person.
But after he left, Baojani and Széchenyi looked at each other, their faces a little embarrassed, because they were not as upright as Ferenc, and their proposal just now actually contained a small thought.
Why should all members of the faction be notified?
The reason is actually very simple, because they know that not everyone in the faction is Ferenc. There are always some smart people who will seize this opportunity to make a fuss and directly attack Kossuth and discredit Kossuth.
This is human nature and completely unavoidable.
The meaning of Baujani and Széchenyi is very clear. They will not take the initiative to attack Kossuth, but they will distribute the ammunition to attack Kossuth. There will always be someone to complete this process for them, and this belongs to them.
has been modified.
Sure enough, when the news spread among the conservatives, many conservative congressmen were gearing up or preparing for a big fight. Some of them were astute and began to tip off the news media, pointing the finger directly at Kossuth, and even many
Various gossips that are very unfavorable to Kossuth have spread in the salon.
The fuse had been lit until the Heavenly Parliament met, and then the powder keg exploded!
"Member Kossuth, we need you to explain. Now there are reports that you, as Minister of Finance, purchased arms from abroad, together with your Deputy Minister Zoltan, accepted bribes and kickbacks, ignored international interests, and used extremely unreasonable methods.
A large number of substandard arms were purchased at a very high price. Is this true?”
Kossuth was stunned and couldn’t understand what the other person was saying. When had he ever received money or received kickbacks? Isn’t this slanderous?
"It's a complete lie! This is a vicious slander against me personally and all my colleagues in the Ministry of Finance! It is an out-and-out slander!!"
But Kossuth’s anger is of no use? Because the conservative congressmen have already been prepared, taking turns to appear one after another, constantly launching waves of fierce offensives against him!
"No? Then why did your deputy minister, Mr. Zoltan, use his authority and personal relationship to persecute the whistleblower...Relevant whistleblower materials were also deliberately destroyed and hidden...If there is no problem? Why did he do this? Are you here too?
At that time, he played an extremely disgraceful role and acted as a protective umbrella for evil!"
"Also? Can you tell me why Mr. Zoltan suddenly received a large amount of money in his personal account recently? Is this money soliciting bribes and kickbacks?"
Piles of questions rushed towards Kossuth, making him a little unprepared and a little inexplicably angry. Unable to understand the situation, he fought back in the most determined tone:
"This is completely slander! False accusation! And slander! Is this a malicious slander against me personally and against all my colleagues in the Ministry of Finance? It is an out-and-out conspiracy!"
"A group of insidious villains are trying to use these unsightly tactics to attack me and my colleagues. This is absolutely unacceptable and cannot be allowed! I will defend my dignity and reputation to the death! Fight these villains to the end!"
It's just that these words are suitable to be said to supporters, not to a group of conservative MPs who already dislike him, so Kossuth's impassioned words are of no use? People who oppose him still pursue him fiercely:
"In this case? We demand that a special committee be immediately established to handle the case investigation. This special committee will be composed of members and conduct independent investigations without interference from any other force!"
Actually, no matter whether the matter is true or false? Kossuth is unwilling to let the parliament intervene to investigate this matter, because even if it is false? As long as the parliament sets up a special committee to investigate, then those who oppose him will have a reason to give him
He will be accused of all kinds of crimes. Even if he is found to be innocent in the end, the time spent investigating the case will be enough to damage his reputation and reduce his support.
What's more, it's really uncertain when this committee will be able to get results? With the opposition's current attitude? Why don't they just keep delaying the results without getting results? Then how can he stand it!
So he flatly refused: "This is a judicial matter, and the Ministry of Justice should be responsible for the investigation. There is no need to set up a special committee..."
However, his words were interrupted on the spot, and the opposition sprayed him in the face: "How ridiculous! Now everyone knows that the judicial department is leaderless and in chaos. Let alone investigating the truth of the matter, normal work cannot be maintained. The case will be
Leave it to the Ministry of Justice, you are trying to confuse the matter!"
The more vicious attack was: "More than that! I think Mr. Kossuth did it on purpose. He used rumors to attack Congressman Ferenc and force Congressman Ferenc to resign. His fundamental purpose was to cover up these crimes! No more charges.
Mr. Lentz, the Department of Justice is paralyzed, so naturally no one will investigate his scandals!"
Kossuth almost vomited blood. It is true that he attacked Ferenc to seize the position of Minister of Justice, but his fundamental purpose was not to cover up the crime. This is too underestimated. Besides, he can sit upright and not be afraid of shadows.
crooked!
But before he could defend himself, another opposition member came out and fired: "Speaking of Congressman Ferenc, it has been proven that those rumors are not true and are completely slander, but he still took the blame and resigned! Now the Ministry of Finance has made such a shocking revelation.
Scandal, Mr. Kossuth, you should also resign immediately!”
This stick stunned Kossuth. He never expected that the opposition would go to such lengths to make such rude demands. Why should he resign just because of some rumors?
But the other party insisted: "Mr. Ferenc also resolutely chose to resign because of a few rumors. This has set a perfect example. Anyone with stains should not hold major government positions. This should be strongly encouraged!"
Therefore, we believe that in order to protect the reputation of the cabinet, Mr. Kossuth, it is best for you to resign immediately!!"
