Hermione, Be the Minister of Magic with Me! - Chapter 150
“If I have to say it, it does have something to do with that person,” he admitted.
Hearing his admission, Mrs. Rimington didn’t say any more, but made a “please” gesture: “That’s good, please tell me, I’m listening.”
Seeing that his top intelligence chief made an oath, Major finally made up his mind. He picked up the cassette and walked over to the VCR.
Under Mrs. Rimington’s curious eyes, Major deliberately emphasized again: “Then, please don’t be afraid, okay?”
Mrs. Rimington was amused, but she would not say it.
Xianqing, you can rest assured that our MI5 employees are professionally trained and will not be afraid… But if you just watch a videotape, I hope it will not be more scary than “Midnight”. “
“It may not be as scary as “Midnight Bell”, but there may be more in number.” Major inserted the videotape into the VCR, “This is a one-off videotape, and even if you restore it with technology, you probably won’t be able to watch the two. three times.”
Chapter 316 Confirmation
The early video tapes were weird, they were often marked for an hour, but in the end they could only be recorded for 40 minutes.
So Lockhart deliberately cut the hegemony scene, cut out scenes such as the Waggardu warriors making dung eggs and the British warriors hiding in closets, and edited the highlights into a 40-minute movie.
And now the Prime Minister and his chief intelligence chief are watching a Lockhart-edited film of the Big Five.
After all, Lockhart still despised the Prime Minister. No matter how easy-going he was in front of those wizards, he was still the one who climbed up after defeating countless competitors and after countless intrigues and intrigues.
Because he knows that when dealing with an unfamiliar force, especially when the enemy is secretive, the best way is to make no mistakes, keep silent, and wait for the other party to reveal his true intentions with actions. Waiting for the opportunity again.
When you know when you will take advantage and when you will lose, you can be open and aboveboard, because it is easier to lose money if you cover up. And when the confrontation between the two sides is inevitable, the best attitude at this time is to do nothing.
The Prime Minister was very accommodating to Fudge and Lockhart’s requests, even asking for anything, but he was not using this method to obtain information, even if these things were revealed to them by the wizards.
He can now be sure of a few points, that is, wizards do have power beyond common sense in their hands. At the same time, in terms of appeal, the difference between wizards and ordinary people is not very big.
They also have different political factions within them, as well as the need for money, and even want to gain some political power.
Major should have felt comfortable dealing with such people, but the power in the hands of these people was not something he knew.
Not only can they track people from a distance, they can teleport people, and they can even use portraits to send messages. They have the ability to instantly subdue people, and they are not afraid of firearms (fog).
What’s more, the fact that the wizards acted utterly unafraid of the Prime Minister’s revelations was somewhat frustrating to Major.
Especially after the wizards showed the ability to erase people’s memories and even detect lies, Major didn’t dare to act rashly, because this was a completely unequal contest.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t allow wizards to enter and leave his office at will, especially the **** portrait. If he wants to have a cordial conversation with a private secretary or an intern in the office, but someone is always admiring it, then How many little blue pills does he have to take to overcome this mental block?
Overall, the wizards have not shown any tendency to harm society, but there are some things he can’t help guarding against, so he will find the head of the General Intelligence Department and prepare to discuss countermeasures.
He believed that Mrs. Rimington would understand him.
Mrs. Rimington finally opened her mouth after watching this 40-minute highlight of the Big Five.
“Is this what you want to tell me? The lighting effects of our British film industry have caught up with the United States, or even surpassed?”
“No.” Major said slowly, “What if I told you that this movie is not fiction? It’s reality?”
The air in the office suddenly condensed.
After staring silently into the Prime Minister’s eyes for a while, noticing that he didn’t seem to be joking, Mrs Rimington took out a piece of paper and quickly wrote a series of numbers on it
“I think you need a vacation lately…it seems you’ve been under too much stress after the pound crash, I’ll give you a call, she’s the best physiotherapist in the UK…”
Major sighed, knowing that Mrs. Rimington would react this way. But it doesn’t matter, he still has a lot of evidence.
“I wish I was crazy, but there are some problems that I can’t solve by pretending to be crazy. If I don’t, then this problem will be left to my next term. Although I will be gloating at the Labour Party, but considering iron Whether the lady’s retirement life can continue to be stable, I have to take on more responsibilities, otherwise I will feel sleepy and sleepless.”
Hearing this, Mrs. Rimington grew serious.
“Are you serious?”
“Yes, I need your wisdom.” Major admitted, “If you want, I can tell you the whole thing, but I hope you can keep it a secret…because this secret deserves to be disciplined to protect.”
He meant something, because Mrs. Rimington deliberately revealed a lot of MI5 inside information to the public after taking office, in order to eliminate the mystery of her department in the eyes of the world, so he would say this.
Fortunately, she still has some bottom lines, and she didn’t reveal anything that shouldn’t be revealed, otherwise the MI6 people would really kill her.
Mrs Rimington admitted that her curiosity was really piqued by the Prime Minister.
“It’s great, I can listen to it as a story. When I retire and write my memoirs, I can add the ex-prime minister’s madness, and a lot of people will definitely buy it.”
The corner of Meijie’s mouth twitched: “It’s your pleasure to listen.”
Two hours later, the expression on Mrs. Rimington’s face had gradually changed from pity and disdain to thoughtfulness, and finally to solemnity.
Seeing her like this, Meijie was a little surprised, because it meant that she really believed her words.
“You believe it? I thought you were a staunch materialist,” said Major.
“I am indeed a materialist.” Mrs. Rimington shrugged, “but “materialism’ is not “atheism’ nor “conservatism’, we only believe in what humans can perceive Stuff, if I saw wizards with my own eyes, then I would believe in their existence, even if it was against my common sense. “
“Very well, I thought you were going to send me to a lunatic asylum.”
Seeing that she believed that, Mei Jie felt relieved a lot, so she made a joke.
“No.” Mrs. Rimington shook her head solemnly, “Although as you said, this is indeed absurd, but based on the information I have obtained about “abnormal’ in the past, what you said is instead. The only reasonable explanation. “
“What… I mean, you’ve got information from wizards before?” Major was taken aback.
“In fact… this kind of abnormal intelligence is not rare, but we don’t know it is a wizard.” Mrs. Rimington said with a strange expression, “Our MI5 is responsible for the national intelligence security, we must have How stupid would you be to turn a blind eye to those things?”
“Oh…” Major’s expression was complicated, “What did you find?”
“A lot of things. Like Charing Cross, London, where you say there might be a place called ‘Diagonal Alley’ for students to buy things; and King’s Cross, which has platform 9 3/4’… In fact, our MI5 has always been suspicious of these two places. “
Needless to say, Major was taken aback: “How did you guess.
“Because all buildings are designed and constructed, they must leave design drawings in the government archives, and the combined width of all the buildings and alleys in Charing Cross Street is exactly the difference between the length of the street… “
Mrs. Rimington’s eyes flickered, as if recalling something.
“…We asked the designer about this, but he was confused and told us that he didn’t know why there was a blank area on the design that we couldn’t find with the naked eye, even if our people used a tape measure After measuring countless times, the widths of all the measured buildings were added up, but in the end it did not match the length of the entire street.
“A similar situation at King’s Cross?”
“Yes.”
“Then why don’t you investigate?” Major asked in surprise.
Mrs. Rimington looked a little helpless: “It’s not that we didn’t investigate, but whenever we want to investigate this matter, the person in charge of the investigation will somehow do other things, or for various reasons. Was transferred, so we — always thought there was a high-level intervention.”
“That’s it…” Major understood, “there must be some spell cast by the wizards.
“And more…” continued Mrs Rimington, “you told me that their castle might be in the Highlands… In fact our military intelligence officers have always wondered why there is an area in the Highlands. We have never been able to map it, and the person sent to the scene to investigate can only see a ruin from a distance, but no matter whoever wants to get close, he will suddenly think of something urgent in his mind, and then leave there.”
Major was overjoyed: “So, we can still perceive the existence of wizards, can’t we?”
Mrs Rimington’s chatterbox could never be closed again: “Yes . . . and
, you said that wizards will be taken to that magic school when they are 0 years old, and our education people have also said that every summer there will be about a few to a dozen 0-year-old children after graduating from elementary school. Lost student status tracking. And they obviously didn’t go to Yirenhe Middle School, but their families said when they filed their taxes that their children were still studying. If this was during World War II, it might be normal, but it’s all in the 90s…
There is also a batch of grains of unknown origin that appear in the futures market every year, the “smoky ghost” area where the weather satellites can never see, an ordered plane is always unclaimed until it suddenly disappears one day, come again It’s the car that flew in the sky the year before.”
She gushed about all the anomalies that the intelligence service had discovered, some of which Major had never heard of, to his delight and surprise.
“Wait, you found so many strange things, but why has no one ever told me.” Major asked puzzled.
Chapter 21H Muggle Countermeasures
As someone who every year finds a way to get money from the top, Mrs Rimington will not pass up the opportunity to give any cabinet secretary eye drops.
When the Prime Minister asked why she didn’t report to him, she took the opportunity to pat the secretary a black brick from behind.
“Your secretary told me that you have a lot of time to deal with, and that we shouldn’t bother you with those trivial gossips, so we didn’t come to report, even though it’s the job of judging whether the information is important or not, I personally don’t think it should be It’s up to them, they don’t have that ability,” she said.
“That’s it…” Major was a little embarrassed, “He’s thinking about me too, and ooo you see, no one would have thought of this before, right?”
“I understand.” Mrs. Rimington accepted it as soon as she saw it. “Then what do you want me to do for you now that you come to me and confess this matter?”
“Don’t do anything for the time being.” Major said hurriedly, “I’m sure the other party will come to the door again, and then I can continue to pretend to be a snake, and…”
“And making more money? Like that oil company with almost no operating costs?” Mrs. Rimington interrupted.
“The same can be said, but I did it for a reason…” Major explained quickly.
“You don’t have to explain to me that this is a glorious tradition of our country.”
Major smiled embarrassedly. He was indeed selfish about the oil company. He didn’t expect that his small vault had already been discovered by the national security department.
“”I mean, we still can’t determine what purpose they have, and how many hidden means there are, we better not rashly
act. ‘ he said imploringly.
“Your opinion is very wise.”
Mrs. Rimington did not embarrass him, but agreed: “The advice I plan to give you is also a temporary change, but…”
“But what?”
“But I personally think that you may have exaggerated the abilities of those wizards.” “Huh? Why?”
“Because so far, the “powerful” about the wizards you have seen has been shown to us by the other party, I think you should understand what I mean. ‘ Mrs Rimington told him.
Major understood in a second: “You mean, it’s as if we deceived German spies during World War II with a fake fleet of all kinds of junk and a squadron of planes that patrolled repeatedly, and made them dare not land?”
“Yes. We can believe the information you got, but we can’t just believe these… In fact, after watching a few “Warriors’ in this video, I am even more suspicious, and the wizard should not be able to do it for everyone. As powerful as you can imagine.
If wizards were really that powerful, why were the medieval madmen with religious fanatics, dung forks and mace forced to hide? Or, why aren’t we now ruled by wizards? “
Hearing her say this, Major felt relieved: “You’re right, why didn’t I think of this? So, do you have any advice for me?”
“Yes.” Mrs. Rimington thought for a while, “Although this may be difficult, I need you to continue to test the other party’s basic situation and some of the bottom lines in our perception. After all, the other party only has contact with you now.”
Major puffed up his chest: “Tell me, I will try my best to do it.”
“First, is the organization of wizards spontaneous or loose? Their political
Does the government have coercive power over members? Is the leader a dictatorship or a democracy?”
Major thought back and found that he really hadn’t thought of this question.
“They say they have a “Ministry of Magic’…but the wizard I spoke to seemed to have no respect for their minister, and even the portrait of my office was slightly critical of their minister, saying it was called” Fudge’s men are the most incompetent ministers they’ve ever elected,” he answered honestly.
“That is to say, they are democratic systems.” Mrs. Rimington made a blunt judgment. “Like us, we often let trash politicians become leaders.”
After Major heard this, he felt that he should spare some time to have a good talk with the secretaries of the press office, and talk about the prestige of the Prime Minister.
– Once the limitations of thinking are opened, Major’s smart IQ immediately starts to occupy the land again: “Since it is a democratic system, that is to say, their political power should be in the hands of the so-called ruling class. Since that is called “Loja The special ‘ director will find me and try to cooperate with me, which shows that there are some more positive voices in their ruling class, otherwise they will not acquiesce to the director’s actions.
If according to what you said, they are deliberately showing us their strength, then this actually means that we also have things in our hands that make them afraid and want, so we are so careful. “
Seeing his mind open, Mrs. Rimington stopped bothering her prime minister. She could make suggestions on safety, but politics was not her forte.
Sure enough, without her having to go on, Major had come to the conclusion she wanted him to come to.
“I should gradually test the bottom line of the wizards…start from whether they are willing to cooperate in economics, gradually move towards medical, educational, scientific aspects, and then ask them if they are willing to support us militarily, and if they can pass, then ask them whether they are willing to Willing to give allegiance to the Queen, and finally ask if you are willing to accept the government and pay taxes to our Treasury.”
Frankly speaking, Prime Minister Major’s ambitions are not too big. After all, the “Minister” of the Minister of Magic is actually a ^Minister (Minister, and he is a “Prime Minister (Prime_Minister). meaning.
“Look, you know what you’re supposed to do…except for the tax, which I’m personally pessimistic about, I think I can talk about the rest,” Mrs Rimington said.
“Thank you, Scola.” The Prime Minister was content. “If this happens, then this moment will be etched in our history… Just so, I heard that His Royal Highness Charles injured his leg playing polo?”
“You are professional in this regard, Prime Minister.” Mrs. Rimington did not object to his suggestion, “but may I make a suggestion as well?”
“what?”
“If those wizards invite you to something next time, can you bring me with you. I want to assess the wizards’ battles from the perspective of a security advisor.
no problem. ‘ Major agreed.
Chapter 318 Negotiations
Lockhart did not expect that before he could contact the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister made the first request for a meeting. In his impression, this was the first time the Prime Minister had done so.
And the Prime Minister has a good reason to ask for the meeting – His Royal Highness Prince Charles was injured while playing polo again.
The reason why he said yes is because he has injured himself many times while playing polo before, but this time his injury was a bit serious – a broken leg.
Both the British people and government officials have expressed understanding for the injury of His Royal Highness the Prince.
After all, he has been a prince for so many years, and he usually doesn’t have much work to do. If he wants to do it, he can also contribute a little entertainment news to the media. There is nothing wrong with it. Even if he accidentally kills himself, doesn’t he still have a younger brother and son?
However, considering that his sex-addicted younger brother, Prince Andrew, is likely to die in a woman’s bed before him, and that the British finances cannot afford the burden of changing a new king in a few years, the life of His Royal Highness Charles Safety still needs to be guaranteed – the next.
By the way, when I implore Her Majesty the Queen to pray for a long and healthy life, the British cabinet secretaries are absolutely sincere.
