Chapter 356: Muggle Intelligence and Prime Minister

"Well, now I need to find help for the group of people attacking the Ministry of Magic, Rufus, Kingsley, you can come with me to meet the Muggle Prime Minister first, and try to get help from the Muggles......"

"Why are you seeing him?" Scrimgeour looked puzzled, "Do you want the Muggles to send an army to help, from the Muggle world above London to the underground with a fireplace or a phone boothβ€”"

"Ah, that's another omission in the plan!" Lockhart patted his thigh, "The elevator of the Ministry of Magic is maintained by the energy supply system, how are we going to enter the Ministry of Magic after the destruction?"

"Short-range phantom shifting, the part of the Ministry of Magic underground, is only a dozen meters closest to the ground, as long as you know its structure, you can directly phantom shift. "Of course, if the defenses aren't breached, they're likely to attack us right away, and that's not a big deal." ”

"Well, but there may still be more Death Eaters and strikers left behind than we do, and most importantly, those who dare to resist must be knocked out with overwhelming force in an instant, so that those hired strikers may choose not to resist again...... "Once the fight starts, maybe even the working clerks of the Ministry of Magic will dare to take out their wands and resist us......"

"Yes, that's why I want Muggle help, and in whatever case, the battle at the Ministry of Magic must end quickly. Lockhart nodded approvingly, "So, now let's go to the Muggle Prime Minister first." ”

"Let's go along, there must be guys from the Muggle Intelligence Service next to the Prime Minister, and while the Death Eaters are unlikely to be able to fully utilize the functions of this agency when they take over the Ministry of Magic, if they want to rule the Muggles, the department must still be working. Scrimgeour said, standing up. "Let's go back to our own homes, and Gildelow and I will visit the Muggle Prime Minister first. ”

Muggle Intelligence Agency. It's an Auror-like organization, but part of the Department of Mysteries, and is on par with the Energy Room Protection Office. In fact, some of the best Aurors also served as Muggle Intelligence Service agents - among them Kingsley Shackle.

As an Auror, Kingsley's role was to protect the Muggle Prime Minister from being controlled or harmed by the Dark Wizards, and as a member of the Muggle Intelligence Service, he was also responsible for keeping an eye on the Muggle Prime Minister's every move and then providing the news to the Minister of Magic.

Although inextricably linked to the Aurors, its membership in the Department of Mysteries means that its members are the same as those of the Secrets. There is no position, only for the current Minister of Magic to better monitor the Muggle world. If Kingsley had decided to give up his identity as an Auror and Order of the Phoenix to continue as a Muggle Intelligence Service agent, the Death Eaters would probably not have embarrassed him either - but he chose to fight.

The branches of the Muggle Intelligence Service stretched like tentacles to every corner of Britain, and wizards were able to penetrate everywhere with the help of the Confusion Charm, covering the military and political institutions of various countries. Something that happened in the Muggle world related to the wizarding world: for example, Muggles found signs of wizards, or where there were cases of wizards attacking Muggles, or even Muggle governments deciding to go to war with another power...... This kind of information is immediately sent to the desk of the British Minister of Magic's office - in fact, the wizards have succeeded in preventing the outbreak of World War III on several occasions.

Of course, there is a limit to the number of wizards. It is impossible for all places to be watched by wizards, but at this time, the building in front of them must be under the watchful eye of wizards - 10 Downing Street.

From the outside, 10 Downing Street is an ordinary residence. It is completely incomparable to the imposing Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, etc., however, this is the seat of the Muggle Prime Minister.

In addition to being the Prime Minister's official residence and office. The Prime Minister's secretaries, assistants and advisers all work in the house. At least one of them was a wizard of the Muggle Intelligence Service, and Kingsley had previously been with the Prime Minister as an assistant.

In the era of the empire on which the sun never sets, it was the center of power of the strongest country in the world. And yet now. Lockhart, Scrimgeur, and Kingsley, three wizards, entered it directly through the gate of 10 Downing Street as if no one was there. Once inside, Kingsley made his way to one of the rooms, where a stun spell knocked out a Ministry wizard, tying him up and confusing all the other stunned Muggles with a confusion charm.

"This room used to be where I worked, and this guy is also a rookie, and he doesn't even hide his magic. Kingsley grabbed the lying wizard and said, "The Prime Minister is in that room over there." ”

The three entered the prime minister's office, where a thin, gray-haired man was sitting behind a desk looking at a pile of papers. He seems to be just as overworked as the original Scrimgeur, so he looks very haggard.

It is no wonder that nothing good has happened to this country since he took office, and the most embarrassing thing is that this situation is neither caused by him, nor can he do anything about it, he is already old and old faster.

"You-" The Prime Minister looked up at the three men who had barged in without his consent, no, four of them, and his assistant was being carried in by one of them. "Who are you and what do you want to do?"

"Mr. Blair, long time no see. Kingsley's deep voice rang out first.

"Kim-Kingsley?" the Prime Minister realized that one of them was someone he knew, his former assistant, who had disappeared without a word. "You three are wizards, why don't you let me know in advance, or come over through the fireplace?"

"We're not from the Ministry of Magic now, sir. Lockhart spoke, then turned to Kingsley. "Put that guy over there, I'll see if I can change his memories later. ”

"He doesn't have a Dark Mark mark. Kingsley added, throwing the stunned wizard in the corner.

"May we sit? Scrimgeour waved his wand, pulled the curtains shut, and turned on the lights in the room. Lockhart also raised his wand, and a confusion charm struck an oil painting on the wall, the channel through which the current Minister of Magic and the Muggle Prime Minister were in contact, and now it was temporarily out of order.

"Oh, please take a seat. It was the first time the Prime Minister had met three wizards to visit him, and he realised that today might not be an ordinary day for him, or for Britain as a whole. Although it was said that it was an invitation to sit down, the three guys had already sat down unceremoniously at all.

"What do you mean you're not from the Ministry of Magic?" the Prime Minister suddenly noticed something, "Ah, aren't you the most wanted person, the new Minister of Magic says you're a dangerous person and wants us to help capture you!"

"I'm honored. "Actually, the biggest threat to them is this Mr. Lockhart, but he's too famous to be wanted, and he's thought to be dead." Scrimgeour pointed at Lockhart.

"Uh...... Hello, Mr. Lockhart. Now can you tell me what is going on in your world?" said the Prime Minister cautiously, "It seems that the attitude of wizards towards us ordinary people has changed a lot in the past six months."

"Mr. Prime Minister, if you realize this, our next conversation will be much easier. Kingsley smiled, "To summarize briefly, there has been a major change in the wizarding world, the moderates have been ousted, and another faction of wizards who don't like Muggles and want to enslave Muggles has come to power. ”

That's pretty much what it means. Lohart nodded, "As for what Muggles mean, and the Secrecy Act or something, you should know what's going on, right?"

"Ah, yes, Muggles are what wizards call us ordinary people. The Prime Minister took out a handkerchief and wiped his sweat, "When I took office this season last year, the wizard named Fudge told me everything, and he said that normally you wizards follow the rules of secrecy and hide themselves, but he is leading a war against the opposition. He frowned: "But looking at his relaxed appearance at the time, he should be at an advantage, why did he suddenly become like this?"

"War is like this, if you don't always be vigilant and prepared, and plan carefully anytime and anywhere, no one knows who will laugh until tomorrow...... You don't need to know the specifics, you just need to understand that the wizarding world is now plotting to undermine the Law of Secrecy and enslave you Muggles. Lockhart said. "Need I explain more, you should be the first to feel this sign of a change in Muggle policy for wizards as Prime Minister with direct access to the Minister of Magic. ”

"It can be seen that the security system that was built on the basis of the Secrecy Act is crumbling. The Prime Minister nodded, "Since the change of Minister of Magic, the wizards who have come to contact me have not looked the same as they used to be - how to say, self-right, yes, even more self-righteous! ”

"Before, whether it was the Minister of Magic named Fudge or you Kingsley...... When talking to me, although there is always an inexplicable sense of superiority, he is still polite. The Prime Minister looked at Kingsley and continued. "But in the past six months, the wizard who came to see me always had a very strange attitude, like treating us ordinary people as animals, and he came up to tell me what to do, and asked him why he also said that I don't have to know!"

"Well, we're planning a counteroffensive right now, to take back the Ministry of Magic, and get rid of the people who want to overturn the law of secrecy. "But we are understaffed and need help, not only to help us, but also to help Muggles...... Why I don't want to say more. He stared into the prime minister's eyes. "How can you support us?"
