Chapter 106: High-Level Dialogue (continued)
The room was filled with smoke, and the occasional suggestion made by one or two people was quickly rejected by the others, and then silence continued.

"Will the wizards of the Arab countries be happy to do this?" the prime minister whispered to Phoenix, "don't you need to call the Iraqi minister?"
"Naturally not, but we don't get involved in pure Muggle warfare, and as long as American wizards don't help, they won't move. Phoenix lit a cigarette and exhaled a puff of white mist that gradually rose to the top of the room, "Iraq and Arabia have only one council of wizards. β
"Isn't every country a magical institution?" asked the Prime Minister in surprise.
"It's not. The International Secrecy Act, signed in 1689, governs the jurisdiction of each regional wizarding council, but your Muggle nation is always changing. In general, we will not make adjustments based on your changes. Phoenix dusted off his cigarette ash, "So some magical institutions in some regions have to keep in touch with the Muggle Prime Ministers of several countries at once. β
The Prime Minister groaned, as if digesting the message. At the same time, he also had some doubts, from his words and some demeanor, he could clearly feel that the wizards of Europe and the United States showed great respect for the Chinese, and said to him that he was very surprised to let the Arab bear the accident. He shared his thoughts with Phoenix, hoping to get an explanation.
"The Arabs lost to them in the war, and the two have always been closely related. It's like we're with North America. Of course, we didn't fight North American wizards. Phoenix wasn't too surprised by Yao Ren's decision, and he vaguely understood why she did it.
"You see, after 45 years of your world war, Germany was divided into two countries. But in the wizarding world, they have been governed by the Teutonic Council since over 700 AD, the forerunner of what is now the German Magical Council - some of the territories are similar to your Muggles, and some are completely different. Phoenix also chatted with the Prime Minister.
"What about England?" he asked nervously.
"Oh, that's the same. Hearing this, the Prime Minister breathed a sigh of relief. "Wizards may be culturally different from Muggles, but at the end of the day we are all human. So we're all similar in a lot of ways, like I know Ireland has been clamoring for secession from the UK, and we've had that happening too. β
The Prime Minister listened attentively.
"Liechtenstein has left parliament in a hurry and has not signed the International Law on the Prohibition of Duels, which is a problem area in Europe. β
"So what do you do?" the prime minister asked.
"Usually no one cares, because the number of people is so small that it's just vexatious. The Prime Minister also agreed in his heart that if they were that big in the Muggle and wizarding worlds, it would be difficult for them to influence the international political landscape.
"Sir, why don't we get here today, and we'll go back and let our men get it." George turned to Phoenix and suggested. "Those who study Muggles know better how to use those Muggle things. β
"Alright," Detreville and Gustav both looked at him, "write to Carlo and ask him to gather the Muggle scholars and come up with a plan." Be quick, I'm going to see an executable plan the day after tomorrow at the latest. β
Then his eyes swept among the prime ministers, "Please stay for a few days, we will continue this meeting the day after tomorrow." β
"And what about our work?" asked the Chinese leader politely.
"The wizards who replace you will send you all kinds of papers, and they will not give you any orders or make any decisions on your behalf. Phoenix said unquestioningly, "I hope you can rest well." Prime Minister: ?"
Whether they wanted to or not, the leaders of the countries and the wizard representatives of their regions got up and left the conference room. France noisily asked de TrΓ©ville to send him back to the presidential palace. The president of the United States too, but was dragged away by George's toughness.
As soon as he left the conference room, the Prime Minister asked questions.
"Where are you going?"
"Find a place where you can rest and work at the same time. Phoenix muttered, sleepy.
They went down to the hall and did not look for a tavern or inn. Standing directly on the street outside, he suddenly left the warm room and came outside, and the prime minister couldn't help but shiver.
"Let's go in a car," Phoenix said, rubbing his hands, as a row of old-fashioned black official cars drove slowly with their headlights on. The people in the back, apparently, also saw their transport.
"Finally a bit of a normal mode of transportation. The president of the USSR complained.
"I'm really flattered. The Prime Minister said angrily that he was unhappy that he could not rush back to the UK tonight. The first car to be driven was a wizard in a black trench coat who shrewdly opened the door and let Phoenix and the Prime Minister in.
Phoenix knew they wouldn't be happy. Because he is selfish, it is rare to meet with important Muggle leaders, and some things can be discussed now.
"We have some villas on the outskirts for you to rest for. I promise that Britain will not be a mess under Shackle. Phoenix reassured, and the Prime Minister looked out the window in disbelief.
The car drove unimpeded through various checkpoints, checkpoints, and a side road. Finally stopped in front of a two-story villa, and the driver turned around and said the first thing to them.
"Do you need me to pick you up tomorrow?"
"Come the morning after tomorrow. If you need to go out, the Prime Minister can call them β call them in words. Phoenix said politely to the Prime Minister.
"Yes, the phone?" said the prime minister as the two stood in front of the door, finally wondering what Phoenix was saying.
"Ah, yes. Well, I wish you a good night. β
"Where do you live, how do I find you?" asked the prime minister, turning the doorknob from the doorknob.
"Staying somewhere else, rest assured that you are in safe hands. If you need to, you can also find me by phone. Phoenix smiled as a beautiful big bird landed on his shoulder.
Then it disappeared in a flash of fire. The prime minister looked at this scene, did not show any fear, and reluctantly went in.
Phoenix lives in about the same place as the Prime Minister, not far away. It was minimalist and not too much frills. The furniture items are very practical, except for the smell of cats in the house that can't be removed, Phoenix is very satisfied, he is not very demanding.
He lit a fire in the fireplace and sprinkled some Floo powder into it. The flames immediately turned green, and soon a human head was revealed, it was Gustav.
"Looking for me, Phoenix?"
"Let the Soviet leader come tomorrow. Phoenix lay on the large couch with a thin blanket over him, and Eden lay on his back.
"Okay, I'll let him know. "The green flame is gone. A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, briefly illuminating the dimly lit living room. Phoenix put a bubble head charm on his head to filter out the foul smell. Then there was another flash of lightning, and those who were waiting in the New York square to revise their memories were going to suffer a little.
With this thought in mind, he fell into a deep sleep. (To be continued.) )
