Prime Minister Pitt came to the Prime Minister's official residence with a tired body and began his day's work.

"Good morning, Carl. When he saw his chief private secretary, Carl Noe Fair, Prime Minister Pitt was in high spirits, greeted him with a smile, and at the same time, thinking about the affairs of the Phil family, the gloom in his heart also increased.

"Hello, Your Excellency Prime Minister. Karl greeted Prime Minister Pitt with a blank face, and that rigid face was completely the most standardized expression of a civil servant.

"Hello, George. Karl saw the driver of the Prime Minister's private carriage following Prime Minister Pete behind him, and also greeted him.

"Hello, Mr. Phil. "George, who is in his fifties, looks much better than Prime Minister Pitt of his age, with a red face and not as much sorrow as Prime Minister Pitt's face. He held a stack of red boxes and placed them on the prime minister's desk, which contained all the documents that the prime minister had dealt with last night. After putting down the box, he took off his hat to greet the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister's Principal Private Secretary, and then left the Prime Minister's office.

Prime Minister Pitt took off his coat, and in this hot weather, he would rather be like an ordinary old man, throwing aside the formal clothes that bound him, and enjoying himself in a vest and big pants.

"What is this?" the Prime Minister saw a blue letter on his desk, "Did it come from this morning?"

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister. Karl replied succinctly.

Prime Minister Pitt, who understood the character of his chief private secretary, wisely did not ask too much, he picked up the letter and went to find the answer himself. "I hereby invite the Reich Prime Minister, Earl William No. Pitt, and his family to attend the banquet which I will hold on that day at Glomorgangoverenburg on June 13. ”

Prime Minister Pitt flipped through the letter, looking for the end of the payment.

"Midnight Earl Swain Noe Jericho. ”

Prime Minister Pitt was stunned, when he saw the words "Glamorgan" and "Govélenburg", he thought that this would be an invitation from the Hecate family, although there is only one girl left in the Hecate family today, Atmis, but as a family that has been in charge of the Thirteen Lessons for generations, it makes sense to invite the Prime Minister of the Empire, but this invitation was actually sent by Swain...... Prime Minister Pitt couldn't figure out why he had invited himself to Glamorgan, and he was still in Govélenburg at the Hecate family.

"Karl," Prime Minister Pitt said, as he carefully studied the invitation, his face solemn, "has anyone else received the invitation?"

Karl seemed to be prepared, he pulled out a list from the folder in his arms, and read the name on it: "Your Majesty Alexander, Minister of War Guderian, Minister of Foreign Affairs Menken, Court Governor Metternich, Duke of Pesa, ......"

"Wait!" As Karl read one name after another, the puzzled look on Prime Minister Pete's face became even heavier, "You seem to know very well, even the list is ready, I saw the invitation this morning, why have you been prepared for it a long time ago?" Although Prime Minister Pitt was well aware of the ability of his chief private secretary, he was really surprised to be prepared so quickly, after all, this invitation was on his desk this morning, how much time did Karl have to investigate?

"Civil service insider. Carr replied calmly, "The person responsible for delivering these letters to the recipients is the Ministry of Communications, and they have made a list for me, because most of the invitations are Cabinet Ministers, and under Section 137(B) of the Communications Management Records Act, they ...... in this case."

"Alright, alright, I see, thank you for explaining, Carl. Prime Minister Pitt hurriedly called a halt, although Karl has always been a very silent person, but even the prime minister could not bear the explanation of the law that the civil servants are best at explaining - no minister will remember so many legal texts.

"So, what about your father? Did he receive an invitation?"

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister. ”

"That's right......" Prime Minister Pitt sat back in his office chair and began to think about the meaning behind the invitation.

Swain had been in the imperial capital for three months, and this was the first time that he had never held such an event as a banquet or party. And for the first time, so many important figures and ministers of the imperial government were invited, obviously, this banquet was not just as simple as a banquet, and the first thing Prime Minister Pitt thought of was that Swain wanted to use this banquet to prepare for solving the problem of Tiamat Palace, because the name of the emperor even appeared on that list, Prime Minister Pitt didn't think that after he had reminded the other party, Swain would not notice it at all.

However, what is the point of him doing this, to invite His Majesty Alexander to Glamorgan and then force the palace? Unlikely, Alexander may not even accept this invitation, his dislike of Swain is genuine, if it was only because of personal selfishness before, then after this time, Alexander probably will definitely not tolerate Swain, judging from the situation last time, he really wants to get rid of the eldest princess, and as the closest minister to the eldest princess, Swain must also be on Alexander's target list.

Did Swain know that Alexander hated him? He should have known, he was a smart man, it was impossible not to find out about this, so he expected that Alexander would not go, and deliberately invited the other party?

Prime Minister Pitt recalls several previous meetings with Swain, and at the beginning of Alexander's coronation, Swain did not impress him too much, and compared to the image of Swain that others had told him. Cautious and sensible, although Alexander seemed a little unwise in the marriage contract, but considering the marriage contract he later announced with his sister, the old prime minister could understand. However, it was the later time when Ernest saw Swain again when he was knighted that Prime Minister Pitt had the same understanding of Swain as everyone else.

Arrogant and cunning, when he provoked Ernest, the look in his eyes was a contempt that did not take the other party in his eyes at all, such a person, even if he usually hides his arrogance, he can't change his opinion that he looks down on others. Therefore, Prime Minister Pitt would never regard Swain as a fool, he could feel that this young man who had changed from an unknown person to the current head of the 13th Division must have a terrible strategy in his heart.

Generally speaking, if the invitation is rejected by the emperor, others will also be affected by the emperor's prestige, and they will not dare to go to the invitation in order to avoid angering the emperor, not to mention that this time the location is set in Glamorgan, which is even more disturbing. What did Swain think? Does he want us people to go, or doesn't he want to?

Pete pondered and meditated, trying to analyze how his own going and not going would affect Sven.

If I go...... Going to the appointment despite the emperor's pressure is a kind of support in itself, and it can even be regarded as clearly siding with Swain's side, so that Swain has a backing when facing Alexander, even if I don't give him actual help, others will think that I have reached a tacit understanding with him.

But if I don't go...... If both the Emperor and the Prime Minister refused to attend the banquet, how many people in the cabinet would go? If Govélenburg arrived at the banquet without a single guest, Swain's face would be greatly damaged, and he would even be ridiculed. But would someone like Swain not think about the consequences? Or is there something he wants to achieve with this?

No, no, we should also consider it from Alexander's point of view, if we don't go, the emperor will see the effect of his majesty, just one of his own refusals, and the ministers will be scared to move, then he will be more confident, and he will think that what he has been doing is right, then, the next time he wants to do something, I am afraid that he will be even more unscrupulous, because no one dares to stand up against him......

Prime Minister Pitt roughly understood Swain's intentions, he was indeed forcing himself to stand in line, asking the cabinet to choose whose side to stand on now, whether to pin his hopes on him and let him solve the problem, or to wait for slow death without action, he was gambling, but he also forced the cabinet to the gambling game, and had to press his own chips.

Thoughtfully reassembling the letter, Prime Minister Pitt sat silently behind his desk for a few moments before he opened his mouth and asked, "Has Baron O'Brien received an invitation?"

"No, Your Excellency Prime Minister. ”

"Yes. Prime Minister Pitt nodded, and at the same time calmed down a little, the old prime minister thought that since Swain did not invite Baron O'Brien, then he should maintain restraint and not use a violent coup d'état, after all, the army of the imperial capital is now controlled by Baron O'Brien and Ernest, in the case that Swain and Ernest cannot coexist peacefully, as long as Baron O'Brien is not connected with Swain, then the imperial capital should not be caused by Swain again.

Prime Minister Pitt sat still, and was in no mood to deal with other official duties, and his mind was entirely on the choices that Swain had left him. Whether to go to this Govelenburg banquet or not, such a simple question, but Prime Minister Pitt, who has gone through many ups and downs, rarely hesitated.

Karl glanced at the Prime Minister, who had been the Prime Minister's Principal Private Secretary for several years, and knew Prime Minister Pitt's personality well, and at such times, there was no need to bother the other party.

So he put all the documents that were supposed to be presented to the prime minister on the table, and quietly prepared to leave the prime minister's office and go to his own office next door to continue working.

"Carl. Just as he was unscrewing the doorknob, Prime Minister Pitt stopped him.

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister. Karl immediately turned around and walked over to Prime Minister Pitt.

"What about your father?" said Prime Minister Pitt's time-beaten but life-wise eyes were fixed on Karl, as if to see through his silence, "Wood chooses to go, or not?"

"He hasn't made a decision yet. Carl shook his head, "It's a difficult thing to do. ”

"It's difficult? yes, it's very difficult, especially Wood. Prime Minister Pitt let out a long sigh and shook his head, "If you know that someone else has made a decision—from inside your civil servants—please inform me immediately, it's important." ”

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister. ”

After Karl left the Prime Minister's office, Prime Minister Pitt leaned back on the office chair, but because the force was so great, the whole chair began to spin.

"Damn, I told them not to give me a swivel chair!" Prime Minister Pete, who almost fell, screamed angrily, but he also knew that there was no way to do it, in order to prepare for Alexander's coronation after the civil war, many things were cobbled together from various assets of the government, and even the seats for the guests in the Cape Cathedral were moved from various ministries and the Prime Minister's residence, although these things were quickly sent back, but obviously, the workers did not put the chairs in the right seats, and Prime Minister Pitt was not sitting on the original chair.

It is said that this is a common habit among prime ministers and ministers, who do not like swivel chairs that spin in place and prefer four-legged chairs that stand still......

Prime Minister Pete, who was in a terrible mood, simply stood up, walked to the window, and sighed alone when he looked at the scenery that was obviously much broken.
