Chapter Seventy-Two - The Dark Star, Underground Gold 09
The No.10 conference room with a dull atmosphere is qualified to hold meetings here, all of whom are well-known figures in the UK. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 In addition to the Prime Minister's Secretary and the Secretary-General, the info also includes ministers from various ministries. However, among this group of elderly people over 50 years old, a petite figure stood out, with short azure hair tied into two short braids, a custom-made navy blue children's suit and a slightly nervous look that made her look like a family member of someone. She is none other than the current British Minister of Defense, Yuru Čapek. Not only is she the only woman in the NO.10 conference room, but also a little girl who is only thirteen years old.
Let anyone in any country see a group of old people over half a hundred years old with a milky little hairy child, anyone will feel incredible. This is also the first time that Yuru has officially participated in the NO.10 meeting held by the prime minister, and most of the other people in the conference room have also met with this rumored unprecedented defense minister for the first time. But at the very least, they had all heard about the deeds of the Secretary of Defence since he took office, such as the various inventions he developed that enabled Britain to temporarily escape the bubble economic trough, the solution to the military forces of the aristocracy left over from the Victorian period, the anti-terrorist operation on the other side of the ocean, and so on.
And she is also the red man next to the queen, the minister of the British Hunters Department, and the chief researcher of the Institute of Defense Studies. With so many big names added, it is not difficult to imagine why she would sit in this position, and elect such a capable person to sit in the position of Minister of Defense, which is also related to the tense international situation in recent years, Europe itself is not very stable, after the Munich coup/d'état, Prussia turned into a European power, and began to prepare a large number of military resources, the Soviet army near Warsaw began to carry out large-scale pressure, and the unlucky result was France and Britain, these 'powers'.
The First Warsaw Treaty, which changed the situation two years ago, was indirectly facilitated by the Secretary of Defense, who was not yet 14 years old, and Britain was able to form a strategic alliance with the Soviet Union and the Ming Empire. The United States, which has always only talked but does not do things, suffered a great loss in this matter, and the "Warsaw Pact" formed by Britain, the Soviet Union, the Ming Kingdom, and some countries in the Middle East was established after NATO.
The contest between the two major military-strategic alliances turned into the Cold War, and Britain, which was originally weakened, also took a turn for the better under the hands of this legendary little girl. The new high-efficiency engine she invented attracted the attention of the world in one fell swoop, and Britain, which was still secretly conducting nuclear tests with the Soviet Union and the Ming Kingdom, had a faint momentum of being the fourth power for a while.
But this Minister of Defense is not a person who will stay in the country and engage in scientific research honestly, from the appointment of the Minister of Defense until now, Yuru has only appeared in NO.10 only once - that is, now. At other times, she was also the commander of the Joint Hunter Department for a long time, and due to the importance of technical exchanges with other countries, more than a month ago, there was an incident in which the members of the Joint Hunter Department were bought off, which almost caused terrorist consequences.
And the person in charge of everything, poor General Enis, has been left without pay, and in fact behind the scenes is just a scene of British and Ming Empire training. There can be no more losses from such a precious person, so was originally decided by the council.
However, after Yuru returned to the UK, another vicious incident with incalculable consequences occurred. The Avar gang/gang human trafficking incident, even if the parliament wants to hide the 'bad style' of parliamentarians and officials, this time it will not be able to hide, and Queen Elizabeth, who still has some power, certainly did not let go of this opportunity, a few hours ago, a list was quietly sent to the NO.10 prime minister's office.
The Prime Minister, the Prime Minister's Secretary and the Secretary-General all had a sense of the aftermath of the catastrophe, and they also knew about Avar's situation at the beginning, and they hid it from various stakes. Fortunately, their names did not appear on the list, perhaps this was 'Her Majesty's favor', and in the gap between praising God and the Queen, they had to work overtime to solve the problem.
"Capek, is this incident related to the newly formed department?"
Jim Harker, who sits in the prime minister's seat, is a kind-looking old man, and if you know a little about him, you will know that his political career can be described as 'smooth sailing'.
About two years ago, he was just a shadow official in the cabinet, almost never showing up, with no real power, I don't know why he was elected as a minister in the executive branch, he had almost no political experience, and he was still dreaming of being famous in history under the banner of 'transparent government'. Of course, everyone thinks that his transparent government is just 'rhetoric', and who knows that he actually means it.
'Transparency or a government'. The secretary of the Administration Department knew very well that he was only acting at his own death, and of course, in the days that followed, Jim Harker basically became an empty Minister of Administration, and his actual power had little to do with him. I also don't know why, the previous prime minister suddenly resigned, and then pushed this minister of administration as a puppet to this position.
And as a result... But it's not the same as what the civil servants behind the scenes think. The prime minister began to think about national defense as if he had suddenly learned well, and the choice of Yuru to become the minister of defense was also thanks to this prime minister's 'little tricks'.
"Yes... That, the reserve members of the "D-10" Joint Operations Department identified the problems of the newly built town of Avar and the Manchester Gangs. ”
The petite girl looked up nervously, she might not be worth mentioning in front of these old fritters. She considers herself a passable commander, perhaps a recognized boss, but she is never a 'politician'. Since she was born, Yuru has not received any education related to politics, and even after serving as defense minister for so long, she has spent most of her time abroad. To understand her political literacy, you only need to look at how many secretaries she has changed.
"I'm glad none of us are on this list," Huck shook off the list that the Queen had personally proposed, "and if this issue is not resolved, strikes, demonstrations, marches, I think anything can happen." Not to mention the agents under Her Majesty's command, we all know about it now. We're glad we didn't see it on the news, don't we? I need to fix this, now. ”
"With all due respect, Prime Minister, we have to think long term about this... If a government employee of this magnitude is to be suspended at once, it may lead to the paralysis of government functions, and in a way, considering the famous events in history, I think this matter should be considered in the long term, and we need more time to think about it..."
The Secretary-General, who also thinks that it is not his business, is still trying to 'delay' this action, perhaps he does not understand the importance of this action, or whether the rights issues that concern him affect his position.
"I'm talking 'now,' Humphrey," Huck frowned, looking at his General Secretary, "I forgot to mention one thing, the list you have is only the safest part of the list that you have at this stage, do you want to see the more 'classified' part, and there may be some names in that part that you don't want to see." Oh, by the way, Humphrey, in addition to your duties as General Secretary, you're also responsible for the appointment of civil servants, isn't that too much for you?"
"Not at all, Prime Minister, this is what I ought to do, for the glory of Britain I am nothing. ”
"Then, for the honor of Britain, please consider a solution 'at once'. In the coming week, if there is no clear plan, then maybe another list in my hand will work, and the meeting will be adjourned. ”
A rare and efficient meeting can drive back the ministers working in various departments in just a few minutes, and by the way, they will fall into the past, and when there are enough 'threatening means' in hand, the administrative efficiency will always be improved many times. Especially when everyone is 'in the same boat' and 'working together'. Just like now, there is a big problem, and these 'cadres' who only think about how to raise their salaries, how to accumulate money, and arrange their retirement life will move in order to keep their cash cows.
In other words, there is almost nothing to do, most of the time is socialized, and the position of 70,000 pounds a month is only the general secretary of the United Kingdom's 'king of civil servants'.
"Čapek, you wait a minute. ”
As Yuru prepares to leave with the gloomy ministers, Huck stops her.
"Yes, Prime Minister, what's the matter?"
The girl who was still struggling with her performance didn't immediately understand Huck's reason for letting him stay, and it wasn't hard to guess what Huck was trying to say if she focused a little bit.
"About Dio Connor... That is, the Ming Empire asked to be the person of the "D-10" Joint Operations Department, does she have nothing to do with this incident?" asked Huck solemnly.
"I can't say no, Prime Minister," Yuru replied as soon as she heard the name, lowered her head slightly, and in just a second changed her mind, "she is the one who reported the incident." ”
“... I see, if you can contact her, please ask her to come to NO.10. Huck smiled and said with determination.
"Yes?"
Yuru blinked, and it took her a few seconds to understand the meaning of the sentence. The British Prime Minister's request to see the adopted daughter of the old aristocracy, Dio Connor, may be exciting news for someone.
