Joseph also understood what Charlie didn't say, because he nodded and was silent, in fact, he also meant the same thing, but many words were inconvenient to say directly.

"If we remain as we are, then they are our buffer zone, whether it's bombing or whatever...... We don't have too many concerns. ”

As Charlie's words became more and more explicit, Joseph stretched out his hand to stop it, and glanced at the silent Smith and a few people, Charlie chose to shut up very understandingly, and it was better not to explain some words.

"If the cabinet has no opinion, then do what Charlie wants."

Looking around, Smith and other cabinet bigwigs all nodded, maintaining the current situation is undoubtedly the most appropriate way, and many times occupying an area is not necessarily a good thing.

"Your Majesty, the French Embassy has requested our assistance in investigating the theft of the Louvre's famous paintings."

As soon as the meeting ended, Abner's butler hurriedly reported the contents of the phone call he had just received to Joseph, and Joseph, who learned about it, was very strange: "Stolen again?" ”

The Louvre Museum is almost the largest museum in France, and it houses a lot of valuable objects, especially some priceless paintings, each of which is enough for anyone to enjoy a lifetime of wealth and luxury.

"Three days ago, the Louvre Museum in France, as is customary, held an exhibition open to the public free of charge, and at about 2 p.m., a guard suddenly discovered that a famous painting "The Road of Sèvres" by the French painter Callow in the early 19th century had been stolen."

"The Road of Sèvres? A painting of high value, the police are very timely, didn't the police find clues? ”

Joseph picked up a cup of coffee, and Kate and Charlie sat down with great interest to hear about it as if it were a story, which made Abner speak more carefully.

Charlie's inquiry, Abner shook his head: "After the inspection, the police arrived at the scene in less than 20 minutes and cordoned it off, but the search for more than two hours did not have any effect, because there were some well-known people among them. In the end, the police had no choice but to withdraw the blockade. ”

"Two and a half hours, it seems that the number of tourists that day has been very large."

"If there weren't many, the thief wouldn't have chosen this time to do it, in fact, from the moment the painting was found and lost, the painting was destined to be found at the scene."

"The French police are not without clues, it is said that from the observation results at the scene, the thieves used a cutter to dig a hole in the glass cabinet where the paintings were stored, and then used a knife to cut off the canvas and remove it, leaving only the frame, a small piece of canvas stuffed inside the clothes is difficult to be found."

"This is not the first time this has been done. The Louvre often loses some valuable paintings, and even the Mona Lisa was lost in 1911, and such things have become commonplace. Let's get noticed! Let our police department cooperate more with the investigation, and the EU will be integrated, and only then can the real unity be reflected. ”

Abner nodded and left, looking at the back of him leaving, Charlie suddenly said: "In the future, will the police also establish the EU Police Bureau like the multinational army, and every year the EU Police Office will solve the complex cases of EU countries in a unified manner, and I believe that in this way, the security within the EU will be improved a lot." ”

"Are you going to give the Court of Justice of the European Union a real right?"

"Sooner or later, isn't it? Father! ”

Joseph touched Charlie's head and nodded. Indeed, it is all a matter of time, it depends on when the heads of state of those countries figure it out......

In July 1998, the market value of Microsoft in the Nord Kingdom successfully exceeded 110 billion euros. For the first time, the combined market value of Apple and Microsoft surpassed Audi, and the IT industry became the second-tier industry in the Nord Kingdom.

In July 1998, Apple announced that it would release an ultra-thin notebook in June 1999. It's a business notebook that's perfect for business people who travel abroad a lot, both in terms of weight and shape.

At the same time, some pictures are attached, fashion, trend, technology. This is worthy of Apple's manifesto, the moment they saw the picture, it conquered the hearts of millions of notebook enthusiasts, with more than 100,000 netizens voting that they would buy it, and more than 10,000 were willing to pay for the pre-order in advance.

If Apple's publicity is great, then Microsoft's action is even greater, XP2 has been released, and it is currently very good in all aspects, and it will take a while to get XP3, and what really makes Microsoft famous is the new game Jin Yong's group of heroes.

Purchased from the Hong Kong City generation of martial arts master Jin Yong authorized an online game with a new mode of operation and graphics, a major innovation in combat, because the martial arts style with the world's first martial arts will prevail, the game has not yet come out has attracted much attention, single server, the setting of the game area makes many players look forward to it.

No rank, no health, no profession, this is a real Jianghu. ——The official announcement of Jin Yong's biography

According to the production team of Microsoft Games, this game is full of adventures and unpredictable, maybe a random bun can be exchanged for a peerless cheatbook, maybe you can give tens of millions of gifts, begging and not getting the opportunity to learn martial arts.

The attributes of the game characters come from a variety of cheats, and each character is the same when they enter the game, except for appearance and body shape, players can choose their age at will about appearance and body shape, pinch their faces, adjust their height, shortness, fat and thinness, and even upload their own photos for special customization.

Regarding the profession, if you want to get something like the Sunflower Treasure Book, then the probability of becoming a eunuch is naturally higher than others, players who do not practice martial arts and are dedicated to life professions, similar to mining, cutting and cutting are very high arm strength or even higher than some martial arts players, scholars are very smart, if they go to the formation sect as scholars, then their achievements and potential will be very high.

The Legend of Jin Yong's Heroes is not only an Asian game, but also European and American players who like sci-fi and fantasy are also looking forward to it, because there are martial arts similar to the Holy Fire Cult and Manichaeism that are close to Western elements.

On the day of the game's closed beta, Flender also went in person, he is a game enthusiast, so he naturally won't miss such an event, and even after the game, his mouth was full of relevant words during the whole day of living in the palace.

The game is very popular, extremely popular, although it is still in internal testing, but there are nearly 10 million players around the world looking forward to it, millions of players began to inquire about similar things every day, and the term Jin Yong's group of heroes became the first in Microsoft's search and far exceeded the second tens of thousands of indexes.

"If you want, you can rush the game production team."

This is Charlie's original words, which Flender looked at him with disdain: "Speed is related to quality, if the quality cannot be guaranteed, then I would rather it be released later." ”

1998 was spent in such circumstances, and 1999 was a very busy year for the Nord Kingdom Cabinet because the elections were about to start and they had to prepare for the elections now.

The Conservative Party is led by James and their Prime Minister is Marceau, and the Radical Party has two candidates, the incumbent Prime Minister Smith, who wants to be re-elected, and the Home Secretary Morris.

On the current ballots, Marceau is 28 percent, Smith is 23 percent, Morris is 21 percent, and the rest are people from other inconsequential small parties and two major parties.

It doesn't look like Marceau's votes are too high, but don't forget that there is still a year to go until the election, and at the rate of increase in the number of votes now, Marceau is likely to have 36 percent, and Smith ...... He hasn't increased much anymore, and it's been very good to be able to keep it up.

In fact, Smith has no intention of running for prime minister, which is evident from the fact that he has begun to prepare for the future of the Radical Party, and he has begun to choose to give up.

Marceau's emphasis on education and health care, while Smith's emphasis on defense and finances is the main reason why Smith's vote has dropped so much this year.

A few years ago, the saying that the country is rich and strong and the military is strong was very marketable, because it was the Cold War period, although the citizens lived happily but they didn't actually have much security, but now it's different, the US imperialists are hegemonic but the European Union is also beginning to rise, they are full of security, and they lack some things in life.

Education and medical care are the most concerned issues for the citizens of the Nord Kingdom now, one is related to the next generation, and the other is related to their own physical problems, and Morris can get 21% of the votes is also related to similar matters, because he pays attention to the security of the city, and the thing he promised is that after taking office, it cannot be said that the Nord Kingdom can not close its doors, but at least ensure the quality of police work and the city's good security.

Although the security of the Nord Kingdom has always been at the forefront of the world, there are occasional thieves and bandits, and if the security of the city can be guaranteed, this will satisfy many citizens.

The current Nord cabinet is not all radical party members, the Minister of Education and the only Chinese cabinet member, Lee Chi-sun, is a Conservative partyman, he is very capable, but because of his lack of support, he can only be reduced to Marceau's support.

James once said that if Lee Chi-sun could also have some supporters, then he might be more qualified as prime minister than Marceau, after all, Marceau is a woman, and she has a natural flaw there.

Margaret Thatcher? Marceau doesn't have the means of the Iron Lady, if a perfect score prime minister is 100 points, then the first prime minister of the Nord kingdom, Kress, has 80 points, James has 75 points, Smith has 85 points, and Marceau only has 70 points, of course, this is only an approximate score, and no one can say what the future holds.

Under such circumstances, 1999 came, and the new century was still one year away.

No one knows that an event that can change the world is slowly advancing, and the promoter is the Nord Kingdom! (To be continued......)
