Chapter 13 Invitations to Visits

In the evening, after a day of partying, Dennis returned to 10 Downing Street, where he now lives. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 InfoWhen he got home, in the living room downstairs, his wife was still in a meeting with his colleagues, discussing the country's major policies. Dennis returned to the bedroom alone, he took a bath, and then ate something. When everything was done, Dennis sat quietly on the windowsill and smoked a cigarette. And the letter, which had been held tightly by him for an afternoon, was now on the coffee table on his right.

Entrusted by people, the end of people's affairs. Dennis waited until midnight and fell asleep on his chair before he knew it. By the time he woke up, it was already the next morning, and he found himself lying in bed, not knowing who had brought him over. Dennis quickly got up and went to the coffee table by the window to look for the letter, but he didn't see it.

He ran downstairs, and his wife, Prime Minister Thatcher, was cooking breakfast at the moment (Thatcher had made breakfast for her husband all his life). Dennis hurriedly asked, "Maggie, do you see that letter on the table?" ”

"Seen it?" Prime Minister Thatcher replied.

"Where did you put it after reading it?" Dennis hurriedly asked.

"Here you go!" Mrs. Thatcher took the envelope out of her pocket and handed it to Dennis, who hurried aside and lit the letter with a match.

"Why did you burn him?" Prime Minister Thatcher asked without replying.

"It's something someone else asked me for!" I'm going to do it.

"Do you know that if I publish this letter, the top leadership of the USSR will start a civil unrest! This is a good opportunity to weaken our enemies! Prime Minister Thatcher said as she put the prepared breakfast on a plate and placed it on the table.

"I promised someone else that I would ruin this letter!" Dennis said.

"Aren't you curious about what was said? I remember you never wanted to get involved in this kind of thing! "Prime Minister Thatcher handed Dennis a glass of milk.

"The person who gave me this letter told me that this letter will stop many people from starving!" Dennis replied.

"He is telling the truth, but he didn't lie to you!" Prime Minister Thatcher said pertinently. She took a sip of milk, gently cracked the shell of the hard-boiled egg with a spoon, and then asked her husband, "Do you want to know what is written in the letter?" ”

"If you want to say it, I'm not against it as a conversation between husband and wife at breakfast!" Dennis said.

"The second-in-command of the Soviet Union wanted to cooperate with us without telling the first-in-command, he provided us with coal, we lifted the sanctions and embargo led by the Americans, and invited him to come to London. In order to help him increase his political prestige in the Soviet Union, it is mutually beneficial for everyone, and it is of great benefit to me and the country, and of course to the Soviets. Only the Americans will suffer! Prime Minister Thatcher said.

"Sounds good, anyway, I believe I've burned it, and I've done what others asked me to do!" Dennis took a bite of the sausage and said.

"Didn't you check it before you burned it?" After Prime Minister Thatcher finished speaking, he took out another envelope from his pocket and put it on the dining table.

"Give it to me! Why are you lying to me? Dennis subconsciously reached out to grab it, and Prime Minister Thatcher reached out to organize his behavior.

"I'm still thinking about it, I'm afraid it's a Soviet conspiracy!" Prime Minister Thatcher said unreservedly in front of her husband.

"I promised others that you would have to destroy it after you read this letter, and now that you have read it, it's your business to decide how to decide! I just want to fulfill my promise to others! Dennis said, then looked at his wife with some anger.

Prime Minister Thatcher also looked at her husband, and the two looked at each other for a long time, and she suddenly asked: "What kind of person is the person who asked you to convey this letter?" ”

"I think he's genuine, it's just my gut feeling! When he pleaded with me, he only told me about his situation, and I felt that I could not refuse such a person! Dennis said, holding his glasses.

"If I agree to the terms of this letter, all the troubles will be solved, but the Americans will be unhappy with us! But if I don't agree, I'll have to keep dealing with these workers, and to be honest, I'm not sure at all! After that, Prime Minister Thatcher returned the letter to Dennis, who took the letter, glanced at its contents and felt that it should not be forged, so he lit the letter again with a match and threw it into the ashtray.

"I made the decision for you, burned it, and went to the Soviets to cooperate! I don't understand politics, but I know that if this continues, more factories will shut down and more people will lose their jobs! There will be a food crisis in the USSR, and there will be people starving because of the stubbornness of politicians! But these are not the fault of the common people! Dennis spoke his mind with his own opinion.

Prime Minister Thatcher looked at him as if he had reacquainted himself with him. The prime minister drank the milk from the glass and then happily enjoyed his breakfast. And Daniel no longer bothered about these things, he planned to go to the person who entrusted him with this matter after breakfast, and he lived up to the trust of others, even if the other party was a Soviet.

……

A few days later, the Soviet ambassador to Britain suddenly received a call from 10 Downing Street, and Prime Minister Thatcher wanted to summon him to discuss some trade between the two countries. When he rushed to the prime minister's residence full of suspicion, he found that Seryosha, secretary of the Moscow Youth League Committee, was actually here.

"Comrade Ulyanov, when did you come to London?" The Soviet ambassador asked in surprise.

"It's been a month since I've been here! But it's finally up to the mission! Seryosha replied with some smugness.

After waiting for about five minutes, the two were called into the reception room. Prime Minister Thatcher stood in the center of the room and stretched out his hand, the Soviet ambassador quickly shook the other, and then it was Seryosha's turn. After exchanging pleasantries, the Prime Minister announced to the Soviet Ambassador: "We have decided to lift the sanctions against your country's agricultural machinery, as well as food processing machinery and related technologies, on humanitarian grounds, and to conclude a one-year contract with your country for the supply of coal." By the way, there is also a 10-year gas supply contract, which of course also includes supporting pipeline works! The specifics of the two countries have been negotiated almost by the negotiators, and it is expected that these contracts will be signed soon! At the same time, we would also like to invite Secretary Gorbachev of your country to visit the UK and witness the signing of this series of economic cooperation contracts. ”

The Soviet ambassador was unprepared to be told one good news after another, and his first reaction was, I'm not dreaming!
