01. Meeting
Speaking of the latest report of the Prophet Daily, it is really a complete statement of the facts, and it is estimated that when the editor-in-chief wrote the first line of words on the manuscript with a quill pen in a trembling manner, he could not even think of any gorgeous description in his mind.
Voldemort directly forcibly broke into Newmengard and then took Grindelwald, so that the first generation of the Dark Lord and the second generation of the Dark Lord converged, and they will bring devastating disasters to the world, several times more than in the past.
The tragic situation of Newmengard is not written in this article, after all, wizards still know a little about Voldemort, and if he himself has already gone, then it is good that Newmengard has not been completely demolished.
"Damn sorcerer, it's ...... Alas! "In the Prime Minister's Office of the London Government of the United Kingdom, the famous female prime minister of the United Kingdom sat in it and sighed, she failed in the politics of belonging to the Chinese XG.
She lost to the old Chinese man, but she was forcefully transferred to time by the other party in terms of the issue of belonging that should have been discussed, and at this moment she couldn't come up with the means to deal with the Falklands, and drove the aircraft carrier directly over? It would be better to directly start the third war.
What is it called in the past two years, the Soviet Union collapsed, the United States started a war in the Middle East, and now it is on its side...... But he fell the steps of China.
It feels like the world has become chaotic in the past few years, as if the third major war is not necessarily going to start when, and the wizards of the wizarding world are also actively preparing for the war......
Suddenly, a green flame lit up in the fireplace in the prime minister's office, and a tall wizard came out with two wizards in long robes, who were carrying a painting in their hands.
"Laker? I hope you'll be polite next time, my office isn't like that. The Prime Minister glared at him fiercely, but for wizards, her political means were useless, and in some ways the British Ministry of Magic had to take care of their ordinary people's regime, they were complementary relations, but the Prime Minister thought that she could not tolerate such rudeness of wizards.
She is not the Yeltsin of Russia, and she has to look at the face of the Russian wizarding group Bellavul.
"I'm sorry Prime Minister, I sent an owl to deliver a message to you, but the Prime Minister's office doesn't have an outside window, so the owl can't fly in, and the fireplace connected to our Flyway network doesn't have a doorbell...... "Laker instructed the two Aurors to take down the portrait of Fudge from the Prime Minister's office, and then hung up Fumond's portrait.
"What are you doing here?" The female prime minister was a little surprised.
"I should have told you in advance, the Ministry of Magic has changed its minister, Mr. Fudge is now in charge of the International Affairs Department of the Ministry of Magic, and the new minister is my brother, Funmond Mephisto."
Lecker said calmly.
"Fumond, it's good, I can't get used to Fudge's kind of personality, it's a wizard who likes to play politics and culture a lot, but I'm tired enough in ordinary people's politics, and it makes me very uncomfortable to communicate with wizards and have to use political words." The female prime minister pouted awkwardly, after all, in her heart since she was a child, she felt that wizards should be strange people who don't value fame and fortune, and whose magic power is boundless and can accomplish anything impossible.
But when she entered the upper echelons of politics, learned that wizards really exist in the world, and came into contact with those old oilmen in the Ministry of Magic, she found out that reality was really much crueler than fantasy.
However, as the head of the big family Mephisto, Fu Mund, still made the female prime minister very temperamental.
"Are you preparing for battle? The world has been very unquiet lately. The female prime minister looked at Lecker and said suddenly.
"Yes, things have reached a very serious point, maybe the Muggle world will not be calm anymore, and maybe it won't be too long before Minister Fourmond will reach out to you." Rykel muttered, and then left the fireplace with the two Aurors.
However, when leaving, Lecker also turned back to the female prime minister and said, "You are not a loss in the political confrontation in China, Sherlock asked me to tell you that it was originally a bandit's behavior, but the person who was robbed on the other side has become stronger, to the point that you can't compete with an island country, and if you go back now, it's just to be safe." ”
The female prime minister was stunned, she understood what the other party meant, but the name Sherlock made her care a lot.
And it didn't take two days to make the female prime minister even more headaches, and it seems that the defeat in China has spread to her home turf.
This is really a one-step fall, and you may not be able to get up.
It was almost midnight, and the prime minister sat alone in her office, reading a long memo, but her mind went blank and she didn't understand what it meant.
She was waiting for a call from the president of a distant country.
She wondered if the hapless fellow would call, and on the other hand, she restrained the many unpleasant memories of the long and tiring week, so there was little room in her mind for anything else.
The more she tried to concentrate on reading the words on the piece of paper in front of him, the clearer she saw the gloating face of one of his political enemies.
The political opponent appeared on the news that day, not only listing all the terrible accidents that had occurred last week, but also analyzing in a down-to-earth manner that each accident was caused by the government's negligence.
The female prime minister's pulse quickens at the thought of these accusations, because they are unfair and not true.
How could her government have prevented that bridge from collapsing?
It is unbearable that some people have suggested that the government is not investing enough in bridge construction.
Less than a decade after the bridge was built, the best experts could not explain how it could suddenly break in two, with a dozen cars buried deep in the river below.
In addition, some people have suggested that it was the lack of police force that led to the two vicious murders that have been widely reported, and that the government should have foreseen the strange hurricane in the west, which caused huge losses to people's lives and property.
Also, one of her assistant ministers, Herbert Joley, behaved strangely this week, saying that he wanted to spend more time with his family, was it also his fault?
"There was a panic across the country." The opposition finally summed it up, barely hiding a smug smile on his face.
Unfortunately, this is indeed the case.
The female prime minister herself felt it.
People did seem more panicked than usual, and even the weather was not as good as it could be, and it was still mid-August, and it was already a cold fog...... It's very wrong, it's not normal......
She flipped to the second page of the memo and found that it was still very long, and knew that it was impossible to read it, so she simply gave up.
Stretching his arms above his head, he looked at his office depressedly.
It was a very grand room, and as she stood there with her back to the room, she heard a soft cough from behind her.
She froze, her own nervous face in the dark windowpane in front of her.
"Hello?" She said she tried to make her voice sound braver.
At that moment, there was still a vague hope in her heart that no one would agree to her.
Immediately, however, a voice answered, this one crisp and decisive, as if reading a prepared speech.
When the prime minister heard the first cough, he knew that the sound came from the newly replaced portrait, and the portrait of Fu Meng seemed to come to life, and his mouth was closed one by one.
"To the Muggle Prime Minister, request an urgent meeting, and please reply immediately, faithfully, Fourmond Mephisto." The man in the painting looked at the Prime Minister inquiringly.
"Well, I have a lot of things I want to talk to you about, like how you suddenly became the Minister of Magic, how serious the problems in the wizarding world really are, and whether some of the things that have happened recently have anything to do with you wizards, but I really can't do it right now, because I'm waiting for a call from a president."
"If you want to talk to the other person, why don't you call yourself."
"What!" The face of the female prime minister has changed, and the British still look down on the American people from the bottom of their hearts, which is like the orthodox race looks down on the branch that moved out, but now it is still necessary to warm the other party to a large extent.
But because of the glory of the sun that never sets, it is difficult for the prime minister to take the initiative to call.
At most, her assistant sent a notice to the president in advance, telling him to make a phone call today when he had time, and the prime minister was waiting now.
"That's it...... If you have time, you can just call it yourself, and I'm in a hurry! ”
Bright green flames suddenly erupted from the empty grate beneath the marble fireplace.
The woman could only urgently tidy up her makeup, and then watched Fu Mengde's figure appear in the green flames.
"I haven't had time to congratulate you on becoming the Minister of Magic, in fact, I also recently learned about it, which is too much and I didn't even give advance notice, but fortunately, we are old acquaintances, and if I change to another wizard, I will have to be polite to him."
The female prime minister and the new minister in front of them hugged each other, and the relationship between the two of them really seemed like friends.
"Am I going to do something for you? Do you need a loan from us? The female prime minister suddenly said, in fact, Gringotts' loan is very high, and a magical world power as large as the Ministry of Magic also needs a lot of money to survive, and the little tax revenue close to the magic world cannot be supported, and to a large extent, they also need financial assistance from the outside world.
But the Ministry of Magic will never lend money to Gringotts, or the goblins will gnaw the wizards to the bone.
In the Muggle world, you can borrow a sum of money, and you can go to Gringotts to exchange it.
However, the British government prefers to provide some gold.
"No, I looked at the financial records, and we can use the loan from three years ago for ten years, so the next loan will have to wait until ten years later." Fu Monde said, and the female prime minister was very unhappy with the other party's statement, and seemed to treat the Muggle regime as a money bag for the Ministry of Magic.
The female prime minister decided to change the subject: "Your wizarding world should not be at peace lately, I heard that you are making urgent preparations for war, I don't know much about the history of the wizarding world, does this happen from time to time?" ”
Fourmond shook his head and said, "I've been in a similar situation to you this week, Prime Minister, Brockdale Bridge...... Killings of Bones and Vance...... Not to mention the turmoil in the west......"
"It's all about wizards in the wizarding world."
"Yes, it may be even more serious, a madman and a race theorist can turn the whole stable world upside down."
"Don't you have a very powerful son?"
"The point is that the other party is not worse than my son, if it were another ten years, I would have guaranteed that Sherlock would be able to beat them both by himself, but now, I don't want my children to directly provoke disputes and duels, and then we weak people will enjoy peace behind our backs."
"I'm here today to give you a heads-up! Just a brief reminder, after all, you can't interfere in the war of the wizarding world, and Muggles are so powerless when it comes to wizards, unless you drop an atomic bomb or nuclear bomb into the city, maybe the two people hiding in a corner will be killed. Fourmond said.
The female prime minister was bored and said, "Real madmen, you wizards are all madmen, and it is better that all of them are dead." ”
"Don't worry." He said, "You probably won't see me again for a long time, and I'll only bother you when there's serious trouble on our side that might affect Muggles, even the non-wizarding crowd, and you just let it be." ”
Still smiling, Fumond threw some powder into the fireplace, then stepped into the emerald green flames and disappeared with a snort.
The female prime minister was stunned motionless, she knew that as long as he was alive, he would never dare to mention this meeting to anyone, and who would believe her in this world?
But aren't there many powerful wizards in the wizarding world, Sherlock Mephisto, Dumbledore, and people who can't even mention their names, Grindelwald who almost caused an all-out war between Muggles and wizards.
"Sometimes I really hate why I climbed to such a high position in the first place, if I didn't know anything, I don't have to worry about the ownership of XG, I don't have to be responsible for the Falklands Campaign, if I live an ordinary life, where will any political enemy come to impeach me, if I am an ordinary person, all politicians will express condolences to me whenever they meet, and even I can impeach them, I will be a housewife, and I will take care of my grandchildren's children at home."
The prime minister rubbed her forehead, and now the phone in her office rang.
