Chapter 242: 225: The Candidate is Chosen_2



At this stage, they can also gain more political and managerial experience to prepare themselves for future elections and lay a solid foundation.

After all, these are key positions in important national departments. Although they aren’t at the highest level of the national government, for ordinary people, it’s like a leap into the sky.

Especially the deputy roles, that is, those deputy ministers. If the department minister has an accident, they will take over the minister’s duties temporarily until the next cabinet election.

Although the deputy minister of the department does not have as prominent an identity as the minister and does not have as much power and status, he is also definitely one of the elite members of the government and is the most fiercely contested position in every election apart from the ministers.

These positions are also the best choice for those without background but with good abilities.

If they can gain higher recognition based on their abilities, such as attracting Arthur’s attention, they can also achieve a leap into the sky.

“Alright, next is the announcement of the official list of cabinet members.” Arthur looked at the differing expressions of the crowd and opened his mouth with a smile.

“I declare, the choice for Minister of Industry in the new cabinet government is— Pierre Silvio Berlusconi!”

Well, there’s no doubt about it. As one of the ministers of key departments, Minister of Industry Pierre is elected again, continuing to serve as Minister of Industry in the new cabinet government.

After hearing his own name, Minister Pierre clearly breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, before the election, Minister Pierre also hesitated as to whether to launch a charge for the position of Prime Minister, but ultimately decided to secure his position as Minister of Industry first.

For Minister Pierre, becoming Prime Minister may only be a possibility, but the position of Minister of Industry is virtually guaranteed.

From the industrial development speed of Australasia over the past seven years and more, one can see the contributions of Minister Pierre. Although Arthur has paved the way for many in Australasia’s industrial development, the practical policies and measures have been executed by Minister Pierre.

“The choice for Minister of Public Security in the new cabinet government is— Thomas Chekhov!”

Like Minister Pierre, Thomas was also one of the previous colonial prime ministers, and his accomplishments were not small, so his continued tenure was also natural.

Of course, this is also their third term as cabinet ministers. If they cannot launch a charge for the highest position in the next election, they will also temporarily leave the position of cabinet minister.

“The choice for Minister of Agriculture in the new cabinet government is— Mark Ryder!”

Mark Ryder, this is a completely unfamiliar name, and he is one of the new members of this cabinet government.

Mark Ryder is the leader of Australasia’s second-largest political party, the Rural Party. It’s no wonder that he was chosen as Minister of Agriculture.

Compared with the previous two ministers who have been reshuffled for the third time, Mark Ryder seemed much more excited. But this is understandable, after all, he has now become one of the upper echelons of the nation, you could say he’s reached the peak of his life.

“The choice for Minister of Transportation in the new cabinet government is— Lauren Robert!”

This is also a new name, Lauren Robert is the person in charge of the Unity Party.

“The choice for Minister of Education in the new cabinet government is— Richard Noble Chapman!”

Minister Richard is also a familiar person, the education in Australasia is currently developing very well, and Arthur has no plans to replace him at the moment.

“The choice for Minister of Civil Affairs in the new cabinet government is— Henris Klee!”

Former Agriculture Minister Henry, in the new cabinet government, became the Head of the crucial Civil Affairs Department, something not even Arthur had anticipated.

After all, Henry is an ordinary official from Sydney City Council, with no particular background or connections.

However, Minister Henry is indeed competent and possesses a heartfelt desire to serve his country, making him quite suitable for the role.

The fact that Minister Henry, when he was just a small city official, gave a third of his salary to help the poor, says a lot about his kindness and generosity.

“The new Cabinet Government, Minister of Health,

is Willie Watson!”

This is a position where capability is paramount, and for the time being, no one can challenge Minister Willie’s position.

“In the new Cabinet Government, the Minister of Defense is Kent Crawford Rowan!”

“In the new Cabinet Government, the Finance Minister is Roger Joseph Albert!”

Ministers Kent and Roger are Arthur’s stalwarts, their reappointment is only natural.

The Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Finance are crucial posts within the Cabinet Government and must remain under Arthur’s control.

Even if Ministers Kent and Roger were to step down in the future, their replacements would undoubtedly be trusted allies of Arthur, not those from the electoral field.

On this point, both the party and individual candidates have clear understanding, they would not be so deluded as to believe they could attain these two positions.

“In the new Cabinet Government, the Foreign Minister is Andrew Kim Potter!”

Minister Andrew is a long-serving veteran, for these old hands, obtaining a third term is not difficult.

The real period of choice for them will be at the next election.

After fulfilling their third term as Cabinet Ministers, their choices, aside from challenging the Prime Minister, involve temporarily saying goodbye to the Cabinet Government.

But the next Cabinet Government election will be more chaotic, Prime Minister Evan will have the chance to be re-elected. Added to this, the seeking of re-election by a new Prime Minister, the ambition of all the old staffers for the Prime Minister’s position, might make this Australasia’s most fiercely competitive Prime Ministerial election.

“Well, after the selection of Cabinet Ministers, comes the position you all look forward to the most, the Prime Minister’s.” Arthur took a deep breath and smiled.

“I announce that in the new Cabinet Government, the Prime Minister is Walter Black!”

Walter Black is the Minister of Civil Affairs in the second cabinet government and, aside from Prime Minister Evan, is the highest-profile figure in the Cabinet Government.

Since the previous colonial period, Walter Black has always been the second man in Australian politics, always behind Prime Minister Evan.

This time, he finally attained the Prime Minister’s position, becoming the number one figure in politics.

After the list was read, Arthur made a concluding remark: “Ladies and gentlemen, the new Cabinet Government has been born, let’s congratulate these elected members!”

After a round of applause, Arthur continued: “The new Cabinet Government includes many familiar faces from before, as well as many new members. Whether old or new, I hope all can persist with the belief of striving for the development of the country.”

“You have become a part of the Cabinet Government, this shows the support of all members, and the support of all Australasians. For Australasia, for the rise and development of the kingdom, you need to perform better than before, and become a model for the people!”

Amidst the applause, this Cabinet Government election was officially declared over.
