Chapter 148: Dispute
Time goes back a few days ago. A piece of intelligence from Syria was urgently sent to Whitehall! In the Prime Minister's office, Mr. Harker took the top-secret document from MI6 agents, and after just a casual glance, he was shocked.
The document in his hand was subconsciously thrown on the table by him. He seemed to be frightened in some way! The whole person's eyes widened, and he pointed to the document bag and said, "OhmyGod! ”
"Humphrey, look at this!"
"What's the matter, Mr. Prime Minister!" Sir Humphrey frowned, and then took the file bag from the table in front of Mr. Huck.
Pinching the file bag at the footer, a few photos fell out without paying attention.
"This is—" Sir Humphrey scanned the scattered photographs, and sat down indifferently, "Is this a prank by someone?" ”
"What a prank! Look at the file report! Mr. Huck said angrily. Sir Humphrey raised an eyebrow, picked up one of them and examined it in front of his eyes.
"Oh! god! When he saw the contents of the photograph, Sir Humphrey stood up in fright, and could not help but cry out.
Those pictures were full of people in all kinds of disheveled clothes and bloody flesh. At first, he just thought it was a prank, and the photos were promotional photos of a horror movie.
But after reading the MI6 report, Sir Humphrey's eyes couldn't help but widen, and he looked at the few bloody and horrific photos in front of him in disbelief.
How is this possible. In those photos, someone even lost half of his head. Bare eyes hang on the face.
However, the report claims that it was filmed by six agents in a northern Syrian province. The Living Dead!
A word suddenly came to Humphrey's mind, and it grew stronger and stronger, making him feel cold, as if he were in a cold winter moon.
The news was so shocking that Humphrey was a little difficult to react, and when he finally regained his composure, he looked up and asked Mr. Huaker, "Mr. Prime Minister, what do you think of this news...."
"It's exactly the same as the incident at Windsor Castle!" Mr. Huck, I can't tell what a dead corpse is, what a zombie is, and what a fungal infection is.
He just instinctively felt that these two things were similar.
"We still have soldiers stationed there!" Mr. Prime Minister said. Indeed, since the return of a certain foul-mouthed man.
The situation in Syria as a whole began to become chaotic, and almost the next moment, the bulk state collapsed in place and fell directly into civil strife.
The 'democratic' forces suppressed by Dazuo instantly rose their heads, of course, there was inevitably the support of MI6 and CIA behind this.
The remnants of the army, as well as religious figures, also took part in this grand war for power.
Originally, a few Blue Star and good people disdained to produce these things. But... Since the benevolent people have contracts with some important local industries... For example: oil and the like!
Therefore, they had no choice but to pinch their noses and reluctantly send UN troops to provide the necessary protection for important factories.
This is also what Mr. Harker is concerned about. The location of the 'Living Dead' was discovered, not far from the British garrison.
"Reports indicate that our army has sent several helicopters to blow up the area into flames. There's no way that thing is still 'alive'! After a brief moment of shock, Sir Humphrey regained his usual composure.
After quickly flipping through the pages of the report in his hand, he said categorically. Mr. Huck was relieved to hear this.
Then he continued: "It's magic again! ”
"Are the wizards at Windsor Castle gone, go ask them what the hell is going on."
"Yes, Mr. Prime Minister!" Sir Humphrey groaned, and then walked out of the Prime Minister's office without stopping.
A few minutes later, the news was sent to the wizard at Windsor Castle. Eight one, and they quickly sent the news back to the Ministry of Magic.
About the British Ministry of Magic. Hehe! They've been in a lot of trouble lately. Dumbledore somehow caught Peter Pettigrew, who was dead!
After their interrogation, it turned out that Peter, who had cheated to death, was the culprit who betrayed the Potters. It was also him who blew up an entire street with a spell and killed a dozen Muggles.
It turns out that the Ministry of Magic has been keeping a good guy in Azkaban. And one level is more than ten years! One can imagine how the newspapers would arrange them if this news leaked out.
What's more, the director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, who presided over Sirius back then, is none other than the current Minister of Magic, Barty Crouch.
He's only been sitting as a minister for a few months! I haven't covered the heat yet, and now the foundation is a little unstable!
So, Barty Crouch blocked the news almost immediately. Internally, Sirius was convicted, but nothing was revealed to the outside world.
Pity... They can't hide that little thing from the Ministry, and the Ministry of Magic is a sieve. Spend a little gold Galleon to buy any message you want.
And then there's Rita Skeeter, the illegal Animagus. The day after the secret trial within the Ministry of Magic, the entire wizarding world got the news.
The Daily Prophet made a front-page headline. Once again, the entire British wizarding community watched the joke of the Ministry of Magic.
And the Ministry of Magic was not without resistance, and after this happened, they began to brag about Sirius's loyalty to his friends, his bravery in the face of the Death Eaters, in short, they created a hero in a very short time, and then successfully diverted everyone's attention with the hero's appeal to the public.
It's a pity that the British Ministry of Magic doesn't have Soviet diplomats, or Russian diplomats, otherwise they should have used their traditional methods.
"A dead body was found in Syria? Also attacking the British Muggle army? "Barty Crouch was like a savior when he saw the news!
This can be used to divert the attention of the public. However, there should still be a posture, so he looked at several subordinates of the former Department of International Cooperation in the office and said, "Go and note them—uh—the Ministry of Magic in Syria and ask what happened!" ”
"Sir! Is there a Ministry of Magic in Syria? An official from the Department of International Magical Cooperation suddenly said in confusion.
He'd never heard of the Syrian Ministry of Magic!
"So that place is under the jurisdiction of that country?" Barty Crouch said with a frown.
"I don't know lately, it's a mess, but it was controlled by the United Arab Ministry of Magic."
"Then go to the department and ask them what the hell is going on."
"Sir, this is for Hogwarts, you know that Dumbledore is very close to Muggles." Suddenly, another official in the office hesitated and reminded.
"Humph!" Barty Crouch snorted coldly, then smiled, "Do you still need us to report this?" He already knew. On the other hand, Dumbledore had already learned the news.
A moment before the Sorting, he was still conferring with Sirius, Snape, and Miss Pomona Sprout.
