Chapter 360: Obtaining a Nuclear Bomb

Sucking blood from two adult wizards, altering their memories and controlling them with the Imperius Curse, Lockhart re-emerges with them to meet the others. The effect of the Imperius Curse cast by the Elder's wand is amazing, although Maggie with Occlumency will still be out of control for a long time, but by the time she is out of control in ten days and half a month, everything should have settled.

"Okay, now it's all my own. "Well, then, we'll go back now, and we'll come back to you tomorrow at this time." ”

"I'll have everything in place until then. "The Prime Minister stood up and prepared to see them off.

"I don't need to send it, I have to mention that it is very easy to communicate with you, Mr. Prime Minister. Lockhart smiled slightly, and his mood became happy as he had sucked his fill of blood. "If the cooperation goes well, the wizarding law is reformulated by us, and the two worlds can interact with each other, I will support your re-election until you do not want to continue to be prime minister. ”

Lockhart had been silently thinking about him during the long conversation, but the prime minister had really thought about the country from beginning to end, and had no bad intentions. With such a person as a Muggle Prime Minister, many things will be simpler.

"Then I'll say thank you first, but whether I can be re-elected is secondary," the prime minister wiped the sweat from his forehead again, "I just hope that this big catastrophic thing will end soon." ”

"Well, then, it's up to you and Mr. Rand to go back and discuss the details, you're a very careful man, Kingsleyβ€”though he looks like a big boss. Lockhart jokingly said to Kingsley, "Do things nicely and don't let us down." ”

"I'll do it, don't worry. ”

Not only the prime minister himself, but also several other people in the room did not take Lockhart's words seriously, and they did not know at the moment that it was the wizard who accidentally became the new leader of the Order of the Phoenix made a promise to make Tony Blair the only Labour Prime Minister in British history to serve three consecutive terms.

――

Kingsley and Rand went back to MI5 to select agents for the operation. Lockhart and Scrimgeour return to the Shell Hut.

There are fewer problems to solve now, go get the nuclear bomb tomorrow, and then find a way to send it into the energy supply room and detonate it at the same time as it invades the Ministry of Magic - whether it is the Floo network that can transport a large number of reinforcements in an instant, or the defensive magic that once injured Dumbledore, it will all be completely useless.

However, after another day of discussion in the shell hut, there was still no clue, the Death Eaters now seemed to be loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and the Ministry of Magic's defenses were surprisingly perfect, and even Hermione couldn't find any way to invade.

If you can't find a way to sneak into the energy supply room. At the same time as they invaded the Ministry of Magic, they had to divide at least two teams to attack the logistics department that controlled the defense of magic and the traffic division that controlled the Floo network, and the number of manpower needed increased again, and it was foreseeable that the casualties would also increase.

――

Even if they couldn't find a way for a while, they promised to get the nuclear bomb the next day, and they still met up with the Muggle Prime Minister on time.

"It's good to come, let's go to the airport now. "Rand and Kingsley and Maggie are already waiting for them in the Prime Minister's office.

"Airports?" asked Scrimgeur, surprised, "doesn't Britain have nuclear bombs." ”

"Yes. But you don't think you can get a nuclear bomb next door to the Prime Minister's residence. "While it's possible to phantom in, these important military bases have a lot of automatic alarms that can't be fooled by the Confusion Charm." So let's go together and let Mr. Rand take us in. ”

"Okay, let's go. The prime minister said, "The car is already waiting." ”

Lockhart apparitions and rarely rides in a car. Whether it's Muggle or magic, but Prime Minister Blair and Commissioner Rand are Muggles, Lockhart is now stronger than Dumbledore. But this kind of thing with Muggle Apparition is not something that can be done when you are strong......

The last time I took the Knight Bus was to take Hermione to the Order of the Phoenix headquarters, when she couldn't apparate, and the last time I rode in a Muggle car, Hermione was held in her arms to Hogwarts as a baby, and she couldn't apparition. When you think about it this way, it seems quite a coincidence.

The road seemed to be smooth, and the car didn't even slow down once...... In fact, everything seems to be going well after the resurrection, if you don't have to find and destroy the Horcruxes or attack the Ministry of Magic, there are so many wizards in the world, where can the Death Eaters find them.

After about an hour of driving, the car stopped, and before they could get out of the car, they heard a roar that seemed to be coming from above the roof.

Rand opened the car door and told them to get out of the car. As soon as they came out, even if Blair and Rand didn't say anything, Lockhart knew that they were not at a civilian airport, and the roar he heard just now became deafening, and he looked up to see that there were fighter jets taking off.

They were brought to a small jet, like a passenger plane, but could not find the airline's logo. In front of the door was a boarding ladder, although they were wizards, but they had all been on the plane, and they followed the ladder to board the plane, before entering the cabin door. Lockhart glanced back, and in the distance on the tarmac was a neat row of fighter jets, loaded with weapons that could easily seriously injure or even kill a mysterious man, but never had a chance to hit him.

――

After the plane took off, the Prime Minister was excited to discuss with Scrimgeour and Lockhart about the new wizarding law and Muggles, and he was overly excited to be the first Muggle in British history to participate in wizarding legislation.

The flight was short, and before they could get irritated about it, the destination was reached.

The plane landed slowly at an air base on the mountainside somewhere, and after getting off the plane, they got into a military jeep.

The car drove out of the airbase and into the valley in the dim darkness, passing several doors along the way, and came to the mouth of a cave guarded by heavily armed soldiers, with a sign erected at the door with a fierce warning. Rand told them that it was impossible for ordinary people to break into this place, and that the guards here already had the right to shoot the intruder.

Finally checked their documents and they entered the cave.

The space inside the cave is much larger than it looks from the outside, and the car is parked in the parking lot. The prime minister and several officers from the base led the way, and the group stepped into the elevator and descended deeper into the mountain.

The elevator in the Muggle world was much more stable than the Ministry of Magic, so steady that when the elevator stopped, they couldn't even estimate how deep they were at the moment.

"Fortifications dug during the Cold War," Rand explained. "At the height of the crisis, at the airfield where we had just landed, the Vulcan bomber had already loaded a nuclear bomb, and the pilot had already sat in the cockpit and started the engine...... But in the end, I was lucky not to fight. ”

"I can't fight. Scrimgeour said lightly that the nuclear crisis that had scared the Muggles enough could be eliminated with just a few confusion spells for wizards on both sides. As long as the situation reaches the point where it could endanger the wizard, they will not sit idly by.

"Although there was no fighting, it was probably the closest the world came to destruction this century. The officer who led the way treated Lockhart and his party as important visitors. "The Prime Minister said you want to see tactical nuclear weapons, please come this way. ”

They passed through the eerie walkways of the basement and through some heavy concrete doors to one of the exhibition rooms, which was reserved for inspection.

"Tactical nuclear weapons, nuclear weapons used to carry out campaign-tactical missions and strike at important targets in the enemy's campaign-tactical depth. Including: short-range surface-to-surface nuclear missiles, tactical aircraft-carrying nuclear bombs, tactical cruise nuclear missiles, ship-to-ship and ship-to-air nuclear missiles, anti-submarine nuclear missiles, nuclear depth charges, nuclear artillery shells, nuclear mines, etc.......

I don't understand it, and I don't understand itβ€”Lockhart pulls out his wand.

"We now need a 10-ton bomb that can be remotely controlled or timed. ”

"Remote control is impossible, whether it is a ground layer hundreds of meters deep or the protection of the energy supply room, it will absolutely block the signal. Scrimgeour reminded.

"Oh yes, then time. ”

"This yield is only nuclear mines and nuclear grenades, if you need to time, just add some external control elements to the nuclear device, and there are ready-made ...... in this base"

"Take us to see it. ”

A few hours later, with the help of a large number of confusion charms, the technicians at the base assembled a ten-ton equivalent approved time bomb for them, which would probably become the most powerful time bomb ever used by humans in actual combat. In order to prevent the nuke from failing during its passage through the Ministry of Magic's anti-Muggle enchantment, the bomb used a mechanical countdown timer, which caused the countdown accuracy to drop to the second level, but it was definitely sufficient.
