Chapter 156: Female Prime Minister
The Earl's smile made the female prime minister a little uncomfortable, but fortunately, the strong woman was fully mature in all aspects, and this anomaly was quickly suppressed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Ike, you seem to be hinting at something, and if you really know something, now is the perfect time to tell me. The Prime Minister quickly regained her composure, and looked at the Earl with the same smile. Lord Earl secretly admired in his heart that this Iron Lady, who was known as the best woman in England, really had extraordinary wisdom and ability.
"Of course, I don't mean to hide anything, but before I tell you the truth, I want you to answer me a question. The Earl said calmly.
"Yes, you and Dennis are your best friends, Dennis trusts you. Dennis was the husband of the prime minister and a close friend of Earl Lee.
"No, ma'am, it may be that I didn't describe it clearly. I'm not asking you these questions as a friend now, nor am I asking my friend first. I am now raising my question with the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom as an agent of a vast force. The Earl put away his playful laughter and said solemnly and calmly.
The female prime minister was slightly stunned, and the expression of gentle treatment of her friend gradually dissipated, but it was replaced by a kind of toughness and force. "Ike, your words make me can't help but think of the recent events in the Far East, do you want us to help that country in the Far East and betray the entire alliance?
Obviously, the prime minister thought that the Count's so-called great power meant the powerful power in the Far East.
"Haha, I misunderstood!, Maggie, you misunderstood! It seems that mine really didn't describe the problem clearly. Then before I explain all this to you, I ask you to allow me to introduce you to a man!" Seeing the stern eyes of the female prime minister, the Earl instantly understood that this powerful woman had labeled the Earl a traitor, thinking that he had become a vassal of the Far Eastern regime. This is a big misunderstanding. Lord Count said with a hurried smile.
The female prime minister looked at Earl Lee suspiciously, to be honest, if Count Lee was really rebelled by the camp over there, it would be extremely bad news for the whole of Britain and even the whole of Europe. But looking at Count Lee's appearance, it doesn't seem to be like it. "Ike, what the hell are you trying to say?" asked the prime minister, confused.
"My dear, it seems that Maggie has misunderstood, and I have no choice but to ask you to come out and explain!" Count Lee said into the air.
For a moment, the female prime minister thought that Count Li was crazy, but when she saw the figure gradually appearing in the air, a sense of déjà vu instantly appeared in the female prime minister's mind!
"You... Alice... You're a wizard!witch!" The prime minister remembered that eerie night a few years ago, when she saw the familiar Countess Lee.
"Yes, Maggie, it's a lot more convenient, I thought it would take a long time to explain to you why Alice suddenly appeared. The Earl said with a smile.
"I've seen things like this, just a few years ago at night, I thought... I thought I was dreaming!" The female prime minister was also surprised by the sudden change in front of her eyes, and she was incoherent.
"Good evening, Maggie, your monetization today is as wonderful as ever. Even as a witch, I sometimes wonder how many witches can be as powerful as you. The Countess sat down beside the Countess, a seat away from the Prime Minister, and said with a smile.
"A witch who can be invisible, so all along, our cabinet meetings have been attended by an invisible witch?oh no, maybe there are more invisible wizards, Ike!?" the prime minister then thought of something even more terrifying, and asked excitedly.
"Don't worry, Maggie, you should know that wizards are in a state of management. The Ministry of Magic would not allow wizards to interfere with Muggle nations casually. So now I'm the only wizard in this room. And it's because of special circumstances that I'm here with him today. I had never secretly attended any Muggle cabinet meetings before. The Countess explained.
The prime minister glanced at the countess suspiciously, and both looked at her with frankness. After knowing that the matter could not be clarified for a while, the female prime minister had to solve the most important matter first, and she asked directly: "So, now, today, what do you want me to know? Do you want me to know that there has always been a group of special humans in our country who can be invisible?"
"Don't worry, Maggie, you'll have to answer my question first. As Ike said, I now have the question you ask the Prime Ministers of the whole of the United Kingdom. The Countess said.
"Maybe this matter is completely out of my control, but I have to say that I will answer any questions you have. If you don't do anything you shouldn't do!" the prime minister said strongly. Whoever wants to talk to someone without knowing anything about them can feel annoyed.
"So Prime Minister, the first question, if Britain gets a chance to re-emerge and even control the world, how much is Britain willing to pay for it?" The Countess's first question made the Prime Minister stunned.
"What are you talking about? I don't understand all of what you're saying, you mean to control the world, including Europe, the Americas, Asia! Is this the world?" the Prime Minister couldn't help but sneer. Now she feels like she's wasting her time.
"Yes, that's what I meant. You know, Maggie, the Li family is not talking to you as a family, but as the spokesperson of a huge force. "The Countess showed not the slightest displeasure, and as a member of the clever Ravenclaw, she knew very well how to take the initiative in the negotiations.
The prime minister stared at the countess, trying to see something in her eyes. But those eyes revealed confidence and calm, without the slightest hint of madness. The female prime minister had to think about what the so-called big power meant, and what all this said. "Are you saying that the wizards of England are so strong in the world that they can help us to continue to lead the world?" asked the female prime minister without answering directly.
"We didn't say that, Maggie, you know, it was we who asked the question first, and you had to answer it first!" reminded the Earl.
"Well, I say on behalf of the United Kingdom, you can give everything!" said the Prime Minister categorically.
"Sure enough, it's the Iron Lady, and she has courage!" said the Earl.
"And the second question, Prime Minister, how long will it take for you to prepare for absolute control of Parliament?" asked the Countess with a smile.
"Absolute control of the council? I can't answer that, not because I don't have confidence, but because your questions aren't detailed enough. The female prime minister said.
"I mean, if you want to pass an inexplicable law and force it, you need a lot of time to prepare?" asked the countess.
"In that case, it would take me about half a year. And you have to show me the law and get me to agree to it. The prime minister thought for a moment, and looked deeply at the once extremely familiar but now completely unfamiliar witch Countess Alice.
In that case, it is acceptable. So the last question, for my personal reasons, what do you think of our boy, Andrew?" asked the Countess after a pause.
The female prime minister didn't have much impression of Andrew. On the one hand, the two hardly met, and most of the information about Andrew was learned from listening to the gossip of his granddaughter and her husband. Hearing this question, the female prime minister frowned slightly, thought for a while and said, "To be honest, Alice, I don't have much impression of Andrew. If anything, I think he was a very quiet, low-key child, much like those children from the East. ”――――――――
In the center of France, Xie An wanted to shake off Queen Anne's arm a little awkwardly, but Queen Anne's smile like a flower made Xie An not determined to withdraw his hand.
Queen Anne took Xie An's arm and looked at the beautiful buildings around her with interest, asking questions over and over again. By this time, the two had left the place where Queen Anne had dreamed of her and came to the classical and beautiful French center.
"I can't believe it's only a few hundred years since this place has become. I can't see the original appearance at all. And it's a lot cleaner. I remember that only the area near the palace was so clean. "Queen Anne had changed into a dress, long trousers, a sweater, a long trench coat, and a pair of large sunglasses. I can't believe that she has only returned from hundreds of years ago. Such a fashionable girl, walking down the street, turned back a hundred.
Xie An was also redressed by Queen Anne, and under the matching of Queen Anne, the clothes looked mature and energetic, and the two walked on the street arm in arm, becoming a landscape.
"Well, it's very different. Unlike Queen Anne's sigh, Xie An thought that in the near future, the "end times" would completely change the world, turning these beautiful beauties into a sea of fire and burning all the good things clean.
"Time is so magical. Now that I think about it, he has turned into a pile of bones, and Mary has been defeated by Eliza. As for me, I suddenly appeared at this time. It's really amazing. The world around me is gone, and I'm reborn!" said Queen Anne with a smile.
If you don't want to be reborn in pain, why not swap the whole world. Queen Anne has been sealed out of time for hundreds of years, and now that she has taken off the seal, she has become a complete stranger to this world.
"Your Excellency, I have a lot of things to do, if you still want to continue to wander around here, I can arrange for a special person to accompany you. But I have to go back to the UK now. Although he had already contacted Lord Earl through secret channels and confirmed the safety of Hermione and Qiu, Xie An was still not at ease. And I'm still a student, and speaking of which, I've been out of school for almost a week now.
Queen Anne looked at Xie An and said, "Okay, okay, since you are busy, I won't force you." I'll follow you back to England. ”
"The Empress doesn't want to play here for a few more days?" Xie An asked in surprise.
"There's time in the future, and I miss the UK a little bit now. Only at this time, a trace of sadness and confusion flashed in Queen Anne's star-like eyes.
"That's fine, when you have time, you can travel the world. This world... It's still beautiful!" Xie An said after thinking about it.
Only when you lose will you cherish it. When the whole world is in flames, people will understand how important the effort is at this time.
"It's very upset to suddenly say such deep words. Queen Anne pushed Xie An away dissatisfiedly. "Actually, I want to go back to my hometown, Norfolk. Sometimes people are just very strange, and only by seeing with their own eyes can they know that their expectations are nothing more than a ridiculous obsession. ”
The conversation between the two gradually became boring, and Xie An didn't want to continue. Walking to a hidden alleyway, the two suddenly disappeared.

"Minister, do you really want to agree to Weasley's approach? This could lead to dire consequences if we—" Dolores Jane Umbridge lost the smile she had always put on her face, and she sat across from Minister Fudge with some frustration.
"Alright, Dolores, I know what I'm doing! Now I really can't do anything but Arthur's way. And Dumbledore agreed!" Fudge stood behind his desk with his back to Dolores Jane Umbridge.
"Our massive deployment of the Aurors to control the Muggles has caused chaos, and if the Death Eaters take advantage of it again," Dolores Jane Umbridge continued, reluctantly.
"Dolores Jane Umbridge! I said, I know what I'm doing!" Fudge turned to look at his deputy minister, and said angrily, "Can such a thing happen during the tenure of every Minister of Magic? No, you know, we are facing the most serious and terrible crisis, if we don't take effective measures, the whole of Wizarding Britain may be in danger, what if you sacrifice a few Muggles, don't you understand, keeping wizarding Britain safe is the most important thing!" Fudge snarled.
Dolores Jane Umbridge was startled by Minister Fudge's roar, and she bowed her head in some confusion. After a while, Fudge continued, "Dolores, I know you're doing it for my good, too, but there's really no way back now. The Lake of Fire incident has now become an international event. The North American Congress, several ministries of magic in Europe, and the Federation of Witch Doctors in Africa have all sent letters to inquire. If we don't handle it well, I'm going to be disposed of by the Wizengamot Wizards for sure! Minister Fudge's tone became kind, and he still valued himself as a right-hand man.
Dolores Jane Umbridge was silent for a moment before she said, "Then Minister, what are you going to do next?"
"Of course, we should prepare for the Quidditch World Cup according to the original plan!"
