Chapter 352: Yes, Prime Minister
Just when Zhang Xu entered retirement mode, Furong entered the mode of seven aunts and eight aunts, and Gabrielle was chased by a flock of geese running all over the village, some people thousands of miles away are now in dire straits.
At 10 Downing Street, British Prime Minister Jim Harker sat alone behind his desk, the fingers of his hands rubbing his swollen temples vigorously.
The frequent accidents that have occurred in recent times have made the prime minister almost have a nervous breakdown.
Disasters of all kinds are constantly occurring, and there is a marked increase in vicious criminal cases, and opposition legislators find in the newspapers every day where he is attacked.
It's just that although His Excellency the Prime Minister knows the ins and outs of these events, he can't tell the truth to the people.
It's not like 20 years ago, when you could push it up to a terrorist organization whenever something happened.
And the recent movement of the terrorists in "those people" is no less than that of the terrorists in Northern Ireland.
What's more, these terrorists have raised serious diplomatic problems.
Five minutes later, in the marble fireplace in the office, a green flame first appeared, and then a fat man who was spinning appeared in the green flame.
Seeing the appearance of this fat man he knew, Jim Haack found that his head hurt even more.
Although the fat man came out of the flame of forgiveness, Jim Huck did not think that he would forgive the fat man in front of him. Because after reading the information in the past year, Jim Hack found that the domestic wizarding world has become the current bad situation, and this dead fat man has to bear a lot of responsibility.
A haggard-looking Fudge sat across from the prime minister's desk, pondering whether to tell the bad news first, or worse.
Fudge has always had a natural sense of superiority in front of the Muggle Prime Minister, and he likes to watch the big man in front of him panic when facing the unknown.
However, Fudge felt that the Muggle Prime Minister's expression was different from usual, and his previous forced calm expression was gone, replaced by an expression that suppressed the anger in his heart.
"Mr. Fudge," said Jim Harker first, "it has been many years since giants have appeared on the island of Great Britain, and can you explain where the giants we killed in Somerset came from?" ”
"And I hope that the memory cancellers you send out in the future had better temper, otherwise it will not be as simple as detaining them."
Fudge was stunned, he just wanted to explain this matter to the Prime Minister, but he didn't expect to hear it in the Prime Minister's mouth first.
Next, Jim Hack continued, "Can you please explain what happened to the collapse of Brockdale Bridge, and can your Ministry of Magic arrest the Death Eaters who destroyed the bridge?" ”
"This terrorist attack caused more than a dozen cars to fall into the river, causing a large number of casualties!"
"And one of the buses was full of foreign students!"
"Oh my God, the permanent members of the Security Council have been wiped out!"
"Now I don't dare to see our foreign minister at all, every time he comes to see me, there is no good news!"
"And these countries know who did it! They offered that if we couldn't arrest the killers, they could send someone themselves to help, and you know what that means! ”
The more Jim Huck spoke, the more angry he became, the more excited he became, and the last time he said it was almost like swearing.
Fudge was about to say something, but Jim Harker continued: "And in June, one of your trains full of students was hijacked by terrorists! Many of these students are taxpayers' children! ”
Jim Harker liked to refer to British citizens who couldn't do magic by referring to "taxpayers" because His Excellency the Prime Minister discovered that the wizarding world had not paid a penny in taxes.
"Later, the injured students were admitted to your St. Mango Hospital, and some students were even seriously injured and in a coma for several days!"
"The most important thing is that among the wounded are diplomats from other countries!"
Fudge didn't know why Jim Huck knew so much about the wizarding world, and he didn't have the heart to justify it at this time, just leaned back in his chair in a decadent manner.
Jim Harker seemed to ignore this, and kept asking Fudge why he hadn't done anything effective to stop it all year long.
Jim Harker kept pulling out the labeled Daily Prophet from his drawer, satirizing Fudge's whitewashing, and at the same time he took out copies of Youth Magazine and even Contradiction, reminding Fudge of which of his prophecies had come true.
At that moment, there was a knock on the door of the prime minister's office, and a staff member in a suit brought a document to the prime minister, then turned and left, without looking at Fudge.
After reading the document in front of Fudge, Jim Huck leaned back in his chair in a bit of a dejection, and after a while he said to Fudge: "The Dementors are the guards of the prison called Azkaban in the middle of the North Sea, and now they are spreading misery and despair among my elect on the island of Great Britain, does that mean you have lost control of them?" ”
Fudge, who has been used as a punching bag by Jim Harker tonight, finally said the first thing of the night: "Yes, Prime Minister." ”
After a long while, Jim Huck whispered to Fudge, "If you were my nominated minister, you would have been fired by me a long time ago." ”
Fudge's originally gray face suddenly turned red with excitement at this time, as if the other party had said something extremely insulting to him.
Wizards have always looked down on and even despised Muggles, and if a wizard's power comes from Muggle appointments, it can be said to be a great insult to wizards.
Scrimge's arrival caused Fudge's anger to quickly fade.
Compared to Fudge, who had always wanted to cover up, Jim Huck thought that the resolute Scrimgeour was more suitable for the position of Minister of Magic at this time.
It's just that Scrimgeour's resolute behavior caused Jim Hack a little unpleasant.
As soon as Scrimgeour entered the prime minister's office, he locked the door of the office, and just as he was about to close the window, two spells suddenly shot at him from the side.
Under the sudden attack, Scrimgeour hurriedly returned fire with his wand, but he didn't expect that in the next second, more spells were concentrated on him from several other directions.
Fudge didn't make a move, as a wand was already on the back of his head.
Not long after Scrimgeour was cast under the spell, the door to the Prime Minister's office was opened from the outside, and several men walked into the office with a disheveled Kingsley Shackle.
Jim Huck frowned, then said to his bodyguards, "Mr. Scrimgeour locked the door out of caution, not to my detriment. Let Kingsley go, he still has a lot of work to do today. ”
Originally, Scrimgeour came over tonight to talk to the prime minister about the other party's security, but he didn't expect that under the misunderstanding, even he himself would be involved.
Scrimgeour found that the Prime Minister was strong enough in terms of magic, and he had discovered the people he had planted early on.
After such a fuss, both sides have no desire to continue to talk at length.
Jim Huck hopes that the Ministry of Magic will arrest the Death Eaters as soon as possible, and Scrimgeour says he will do his best, and the two guests from the wizarding world leave the fireplace.
