Chapter 864: The Downing Street Conference
didn't know if his plan was reliable, and after meeting Pujin himself that morning, Long Yun dispelled his concerns.
As far as Long Yun himself is concerned, he has not seen Su Xue's parents in the real world, especially Su Xue's father, he has only seen a few photos, but from the photos and the description of the lover, he can still roughly guess the personality traits of this person based on the life experience of the "quasi-father-in-law".
Of course, unlike his identity in the real world, Vladimir Pugin in the parallel world turned out to be an archaeological researcher, and there seems to be little in common between the two professions of "agent" and "scholar". But Long Yun is not surprised by this, the situation of the two worlds cannot be exactly the same, but no matter how it changes, if his guess is not wrong, Vladimir in this world is the projection of the "quasi-father-in-law" in reality, then the situation of these two people should be extremely similar, then, he Long Yun can rest assured that the two of them know each other.
"Ah, Vladimir, I haven't seen each other for years, remember me?"
At half past nine in the morning, in the bright living room on the first floor of the huge villa, Long Yun met the archaeological researcher led by Valentina, and he stretched out his hand to the medium-sized, alert-looking young man, while greeting him in a rather casual tone of an old friend's reunion.
Walking in the door with a restrained gait, he saw Viktor Rezenov in civilian clothes in front of him, as a Soviet citizen, Vladimir Pugin naturally recognized this household name as the number one ace of the Red Air Force, but unlike many hero-worshipping young men, seeing this highly successful pilot standing in front of him, the researcher still had a puzzled look on his face. Of course, he still stretched out his hand and shook Long Yun tightly:
"Hello. Comrade Rezenov. ――I am honored to meet you. Grace ......"
"Hehe, how can you say it so unusually!"
Originally, he was not good at observing words and feelings, but now Long Yun consciously snooped as an assistant, and as soon as he heard Pujin's words, he wanted to express his doubts, so he quickly answered a sentence of the round; As he spoke, he deliberately glanced at Valentina, who was beside the researcher, and gave an imperceptible smile, but the words on his lips were still directed at Pugin, "Although we haven't seen each other for a long time. I didn't have a chance to contact you, but Vladimir, you don't need to be so careful, are you frightened by the beautiful agent of the committee next to you? ”
Talking about some round lies, of course, these are just appearances, Long Yun, who has gradually become accustomed to the penetration of consciousness, simply continued to work, and he immediately and unconsciously affected Vladimir Putin's consciousness activities, making him mistakenly think that he and Viktor had known each other for a long time.
With skillful consciousness penetration, it was still quite easy to solve this kind of problem, and the researcher with a calm face quickly showed a sincere smile. He turned his head to look at Valentin beside him, and grinned at Long Yun:
"Nope. The lady was very kind. My memory is okay, but I've been dealing with antiquities right now, sort of, huh...... It's a bit out of touch with society. ”
"Really? So don't see the outside, haha! ”
While smiling and letting the two of them into the foyer, Long Yun thought to himself, his "quasi-father-in-law" reacted very quickly when he spoke, is it really good at intelligence work in the real world?
After greeting each other in the foyer for a while, several people came to the living room to sit down and talk, and between the words, Long Yun and Pujin quickly "consolidated" the identity of the two of them as old acquaintances, and the conversation became fluent; Anyway, there was nothing to do in the villa at the moment, so he simply sat down and chatted with his "old friend" who met for the first time, and found an opportunity to call Sophia Kochakina, who was practicing piano playing, to introduce the two young men to each other.
Generally speaking, the so-called "matchmaker" requires participants to have a very high emotional intelligence, like Long Yun, who is born with big nerves, and people who don't know how to fool when they see a girl are not competent at all, even if he sits next to a pair of men and women and observes the whole process, he can't see whether there is a drama between the two.
But now, with the help of consciousness superpowers, things have become a little less difficult, after he invited Sophia over, and then peeked on the sofa next to him for a short time, and soon knew that Sophia's first impression of Pugin, who had a good image and was not smiling, was quite good, and he was actually quite interested in his current archaeological research. Seeing the two sitting on the sofa chatting, Long Yun scanned the archaeological researcher's consciousness activities again, and also got a positive signal, and couldn't help but feel a little relieved in his heart, it seems that this matter is already half the success.
Ha, in fact, men are more likely to be tempted by blind dates, especially when the girl has good looks and temperament, isn't it?
Obviously, although they have only met for less than half an hour, the young researcher Vladimir Pudin has unconsciously fallen in love with Sophia, a great beauty, but now he has not expressed it directly out of politeness.
Oh, it's a coincidence, Long Yun couldn't help but think that if this Comrade Vladimir Pukin was not single, then his intervention plan would really be a mess, it seems that the two worlds are still vaguely related, and it seems to make sense to think so.
As the conversation progressed, Long Yun and Pujin also chatted like two real old friends, and the group talked and laughed happily in the living room, and later took out a few decks of cards to play; Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was quite good, Long Yun was very happy about this, he felt that it would be good for these two young people to come together on their own, so that he would not have to bother planning the next steps, which would be too laborious.
Falling in love is his usual weakness, even with the help of superpowers, it is enough to deal with it.
By the time we had lunch at noon, Long Yun had been chatting with Vladimir Pugin for a long time, and he had also spied on the inner thoughts of the researcher and Sophia, and he felt that there was great hope for this matter, and he could finally breathe a sigh of relief for a while.
……
In order to avoid the distortion of the history of the parallel world, Long Yun in the villa is still thinking about how to determine the relationship between the two.
At this moment, the wheel of history in parallel worlds is still moving forward unhindered.
Two time zones east of Moscow, the morning sun shone over the thick fog, and London was shrouded in a large gray fog, and the hustle and bustle of the new day had begun.
On the west bank of the Thames River, where the river flows quietly, the gray Palace of Westminster in London, the magnificent figures with sharp corners slowly emerge from the fog, and the British landmark "Big Ben" on the side of the palace breaks the morning silence of the foggy capital with the sound of a thick bell. On the wide, empty streets, except for a few Royal Police officers patrolling the streets near the palace, the morning Westminster area was deserted as usual, with only black cars coming and going in front of the palace, making occasional short stops.
This morning, as has been the case on many occasions, the two houses of the United Kingdom will continue their duties by convening a state debate in which the majority of MPs are present.
Turning their attention to another important part of Greater London, 10 Downing Street, where the mist had just lifted, the residence of the British Prime Minister, the first floor of the Gothic-style building, where all the important members of the British government cabinet gathered, they were summoned by the Prime Minister to discuss and decide the fate and direction of the Kingdom of Great Britain at such a difficult time when the red iron stream was across the sea and the whole of the south of England was shrouded in the danger of air raids.
In other words, the so-called "fate of the country" has actually been decided, and now it is only in what form it is officially announced.
The meeting, which had been convened in the early morning, had not been silent in the dull tone of the chamber:
“…… Gentlemen, as your loyal colleagues, with regard to the United Kingdom's operational encounters in the Middle East theater of operations, I think that all the statements just made are sufficient. ”
Having just finished a lengthy but bloody statement, Royal Field Marshal George Hamilton, whose face was a little tired, spoke in a low tone, his hands trembling slightly to clean up the messy speech in front of him, took out his handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, but did not forget to raise his hand to comb his silver hair properly.
After listening to the statements of the marshal attending the cabinet meeting, and seeing the prime minister sitting at the end of the long table, there was a brief silence in the chamber.
Today's meeting room at 10 Downing Street is completely different from the lively scene of the past debates on trivial topics, although the leaders of the United Kingdom here have different positions, positions and intellectual backgrounds, but now, when they are working together to deal with the rolling red empire, there is a very rare high degree of unity among politicians.
Of course, this so-called "unanimity" is only embodied in the goal, not the means, and there are still many questions and arguments when discussing the behavior of the state:
"In short, gentlemen, the British Empire has reached a time of extreme danger, and our allies are sounding the alarm, and now we must make a decision now."
Seeing that everyone present was silent for a while, a middle-aged man in a dark blue suit, John Major, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom who had just been re-elected, had a slight movement in his throat, his voice was not high, but it clearly revealed a resolute firmness:
"In the face of the threat of an evil empire, as the sole leader of the free world, we have no shirk our responsibility; My personal opinion, gentlemen, is clear and clear to Marshal Hamilton's account of the war: that is, to make our demands to our allies, and to tell the world decisively, in such a way as to declare our solemn position, to show our determination and will to defend the free world and universal values at every cost.
