Hermione, join me as Minister of Magic!

"If you have to say it, it does have something to do with that person." He admitted.

After hearing his confession, Mrs. Rimington didn't say any more, but made a "please" gesture: "That's good, please tell me, I'm listening."

Seeing his number one intelligence chief swear by it, Major finally made up his mind.He picked up the cassette and walked over to the VCR.

Under Mrs. Rimington's curious eyes, Major deliberately emphasized again: "Then, please don't be afraid, okay?"

Mrs. Rimington was amused, but she would not say it.

Don't worry, Mr. MI[-], our MI[-] employees are professionally trained and will not be afraid... But if you just watch a video tape, I hope it will not be more terrifying than "Midnight Ring". "

"Maybe not as terrible as "Midnight Ring", but the number may be more." Major inserted the videotape into the video recorder, "This is a one-time videotape, even if you restore it with technology, it is very likely that you will not be able to watch it twice. Three times."

Chapter 310 Confirmation

The early videotapes were weird, often marked as one hour recording time, but in the end they could only be recorded for 40 minutes.

So Lockhart deliberately cut the shots of the contest, removed scenes such as the Waggadu warriors making dung eggs and the British warriors hiding in the closet, and edited the exciting parts into a 40-minute movie.

And now the prime minister and his chief intelligence officer are watching Lockhart's cut of the Big Five movie.

After all, Lockhart still somewhat underestimated the Prime Minister. No matter how easy-going he was in front of those wizards, he was still the one who defeated countless competitors and climbed up after countless intrigues and intrigues.

Because he knows that when dealing with an unfamiliar force, especially when the enemy is in the dark, the best way to do it is to make no mistakes, keep silent, and wait for the other party to use actions to reveal his true intentions. Then wait for the opportunity to move.

When you know when you will take advantage and when you will suffer, you can be upright, because it is easier to suffer if you cover up.And when the confrontation between the two sides is inevitable, the best attitude at this time is to have no attitude at all.

The Prime Minister was very accommodating to the demands of Fudge and Lockhart, and even took whatever he wanted, but he was using this method to obtain information, even if these things were revealed to them by the wizards on their own initiative.

He can confirm a few things now, that is, wizards do hold power beyond common sense.At the same time, in terms of appeal, the difference between wizards and ordinary people is not very big.

There are also different political factions within them, and they also have needs for money, and even want to gain some political power.

Major should have felt comfortable dealing with such people, but the power in these people's hands was beyond his cognition.

Not only can they track people from a long distance, they can teleport people, and they can even use portraits to deliver messages. They have the ability to subdue people instantly, and they are not afraid of guns (fog)

What was more, Major was somewhat dismayed by the fact that the wizards had shown no fear of the Prime Minister's revelations.

Especially after the wizards showed the ability to erase people's memories and even detect lies, Major didn't dare to act rashly, because this was a completely unequal contest.

Otherwise, he wouldn't allow wizards to come and go from his office casually, especially the damn portrait, in case he wanted to have a friendly conversation with his private secretary or intern in the office, but someone was always admiring him, then How many little blue pills would he have to take to overcome this mental block?

Generally speaking, wizards have not shown any tendency to endanger society, but there are some things that he has to guard against. That's why he called the head of MI[-] to discuss countermeasures.

He believed Lady Rimington would understand him.

After watching the 40-minute highlights of the Big Five, Mrs Rimington finally opened her mouth.

"Is this what you want to tell me? The lighting and special effects of our British film industry have caught up with the United States, and even surpassed them?"

"No." Major said slowly, "What if I told you that this movie is not fiction? It's reality?"

The air in the office suddenly condensed.

After staring silently into the Prime Minister's eyes for a moment, seeing that he did not look like he was joking, Mrs Rimington took out a piece of paper and quickly wrote a series of numbers on it

"I think you need a vacation recently... It seems that you are under too much pressure after the collapse of the pound. Let me give you a call. She is the best physiotherapist in the UK..."

Major sighed, knowing Mrs Rimington would react in this way.But never mind, he still has a lot of evidence.

"I really wish I was crazy, but there are some problems that I can't solve by pretending to be crazy. If I don't solve this problem, then this problem will be left to my next generation. Although I will gloat about the Labor Party, considering the ironclad Whether my wife's retirement life can continue to be stable, I have to take on more responsibilities, otherwise I will feel restless."

Hearing what he said, Mrs. Rimington gradually became serious.

"Are you serious?"

"Yes, I need your wisdom," Major admitted. "I can tell you the whole story if you want, but I want you to keep it a secret...for it is a secret worth protecting with discipline."

He meant something, because after Mrs. Rimington took office, she deliberately revealed a lot of inside information about MI[-] to the public in order to eliminate the mystery of her department in the eyes of the world, so he said so.

Fortunately, she still has some bottom line, and she didn't reveal anything that shouldn't be revealed, otherwise MI[-] would really kill her.

Mrs Rimington admitted that her curiosity had really been hooked by the Prime Minister.

"It's great, I can listen to it as a story. When I retire to write my memoirs, I can add the paragraph about the former prime minister going crazy, and many people will definitely buy it."

The corner of Major's mouth twitched: "You are welcome."

Two hours later, the expression on Mrs. Rimington's face had gradually changed from pity and disdain to thoughtfulness, and finally to seriousness.

Seeing her like this, Major was a little surprised, because it meant that she really believed what she said.

"You believed it? I thought you were a staunch materialist," said Major.

"I am indeed a materialist." Mrs Rimington shrugged, "but 'materialism' is not 'atheism' nor is it 'conservative', we just believe in what humans can perceive, if I see it with my own eyes If there are wizards, then I will believe in their existence, even if it does not match my common sense. "

"Very well, I thought you were going to send me to a madhouse."

Seeing that she believed it, Major felt relieved, so he joked.

"No." Mrs. Rimington shook her head seriously, "Although as you said, this is indeed absurd, but based on the information I have obtained about "abnormalities" in the past, what you said is the only one reasonable explanation. "

"What... I mean, you've gotten information from wizards before?" Major was taken aback.

"Actually... this kind of abnormal information is not rare, but we don't know that it is a wizard." Mrs. Rimington said with a strange face, "Our MI[-] is responsible for the intelligence security of the whole country. We have to have How stupid would you be to turn a blind eye to those things?"

"Oh..." Major's expression was complicated, "What did you find?"

"Lots of stuff. Like London's Charing Cross, where you say there might be a place called 'Diagon Alley' for students to buy things; and King's Cross which has a platform 9 3/4'... In fact, We at MI[-] have always been suspicious of these two places. "

Needless to say, Major was taken aback: "How did you guess that.

"Because all buildings are designed and constructed, the design drawings must be left in the government archives, and the combined width of all the buildings and alleys on Charing Cross Road is just a gap from the length of that street... "

Mrs. Rimington's eyes wandered, as if she was remembering something.

“…we asked the designer about this, but he was very confused and told us that he didn’t know why there was a blank area in the design, and this area we couldn’t see with the naked eye, even if our people used a tape measure I have measured countless times and added up all the measured building widths, but in the end it does not match the length of the entire street

"A similar situation at King's Cross?"

"Yes."

"Then why don't you investigate?" Major said in surprise.

Mrs. Rimington seemed a little helpless: "It's not that we didn't investigate, but whenever someone of us wants to investigate this matter, the person in charge of the investigation will do other things inexplicably, or for various reasons was transferred, so we-we always thought that there was a high-level interference in this matter."

"Well..." Major understood, "the wizards must have cast some kind of spell

"There are more..." Mrs. Rimington continued to recall, "You told me that their castle may be in the Scottish Highlands... In fact, our military intelligence officers have always wondered why there is an area in the Scottish Highlands We have never been able to survey and map, and the people sent to investigate the scene can only see a ruins from a distance, but no matter who wants to get close, he will suddenly think of something urgent in his mind, and then leave there. "

Major was overjoyed: "So, we can still perceive the existence of wizards, can't we?"

Mrs. Rimington's chatterbox, once opened, could never be closed again: "Yes ... and

,You said that wizards will be taken to that magic school when they reach the age of 0, and the people on our education side also said that every summer, there will be about a few to a dozen children aged 0 who graduate from elementary school. Lost student status tracking.And they obviously didn't go to Yirenhe Middle School, but their family members said that their children were still studying at the tax return. If this was during World War II, it might be normal, but this is all in the 90s...

There is also a batch of grains of unknown origin that appear in the futures market every year, the "smoker" area that the weather satellites have never been able to see, and an ordered plane that has never been claimed until it suddenly disappears one day, and then it is the year before last. The car flying in the sky "

She rattled off all sorts of anomalies the intelligence services had discovered, some of which Major hadn't even heard of, to his delight and surprise.

"Wait, you guys have found so many strange things, but why no one has ever told me about it." Major asked puzzled.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

As a person who has to find a way to get funds from high-level hands every year, Mrs. Rimington will not give up the opportunity to give eye drops to any cabinet secretary.

When the prime minister asked why she didn't report to him, she lost no time in slapping the secretary with a black brick from behind.

"Your secretary told me that you have a lot of work to do every day, and that we shouldn't bother you with those insignificant gossip, so we didn't come to report, although judging whether the intelligence is important or not, I personally don't think it should be. It's up to them to do it, they don't have the capacity," she said.

"That's it..." Major was a little embarrassed, "He was also thinking of me, and ooo, you see, no one thought of this before this, right?"

"I understand." Mrs. Rimington accepted it immediately, "Then what do you want me to do for you now that you are asking me to confess this matter?"

"Don't do anything for the time being." Major said hastily, "I'm sure the other party will come to your door again, and then I can continue to make false claims, and..."

"And get more benefits? Like that oil company with almost no operating costs?" Mrs. Rimington interrupted him.

"You can also say that, but I did it for a reason..." Major quickly explained.

"You don't have to explain it to me, it's a glorious tradition in our country."

Major smiled embarrassingly. He was indeed selfish about the oil company. He did not expect that his small coffers had already been discovered by the national security department.

""I mean, we still can't be sure what purpose they have, and how many hidden means, we'd better not rush

act. ’ he said pleadingly.

"Your opinion is very wise."

Mrs. Rimington did not embarrass him, but agreed: "The suggestion I am going to make to you is also to wait and see what happens, but..."

"But what?"

"However, I personally think that you may have exaggerated the abilities of those wizards." "Huh? Why?"

"Because so far, the "powerful" you have seen about wizards are all shown to us by the other side, I think you should understand what I mean. ' Lady Rimington told him.

Major understood immediately: "You mean, it's as if we used all kinds of fake fleets piled up with scrap metal and a squadron of repeatedly patrolling planes to deceive German spies from landing during World War II?"

"Yes. We can believe the information you got, but we can't just believe this... In fact, after watching several "warriors" in this video, I doubt even more. Not everyone can do what you imagined. the kind of strength in it.

If wizards are so powerful, why are they so obsessed with religious fanatics with dung forks and maces in the Middle Ages? Or why aren't we ruled by wizards now? "

Hearing what she said, Major felt a little relieved: "You're right, why didn't I think of this? Then, do you have any suggestions for me?"

"Yes." Mrs. Rimington thought for a while, "Although this may be difficult, I need you to continue to test the other party's basic situation and some bottom lines in our cognition. After all, the other party is only in contact with you now."

Major puffed up his chest: "Say it, I will try my best to do it."

"First, is the organization of wizards spontaneous or loose? Their political

Does the government have coercive power over members?Whether the head is a dictatorship or a democracy0”

Major thought about it and realized that he really hadn't thought of this question.

"They say they have a 'Ministry of Magic'...but the wizard I was talking to seemed to have no respect for their minister, even the portrait in my office had a slight complaint about their minister, saying it was called 'Fudge' The man they elected was the most incompetent minister they ever elected," he replied honestly.

"That is to say, they are a democratic system." Mrs. Rimington flatly judged, "Just like us, they often let useless politicians be the leaders."

After Major heard this, he felt that he should set aside some time to have a good talk with the secretaries of the press office, and talk about the prestige of the Prime Minister.

—Once the limitation of thinking was opened, Major's clever IQ immediately began to occupy the ground again: "Since it is a democratic system, that is to say, their political power should be in the hands of the so-called ruling class. Since the one called "Lockhart" The director will come to me and try to cooperate with me, which shows that there are some more positive voices within their ruling class, otherwise they will not acquiesce in the director's actions.

If according to what you said, they are deliberately showing us their strength, then this actually means that we also have things that scare them and things they want, so we are so cautious. "

Seeing that his mind was open, Mrs. Rimington didn't bother her prime minister anymore. She could give advice on security, but politics was not her forte.

Sure enough, without her having to go on, Major came to the conclusion she wanted him to.

"I should gradually test the bottom line of the wizard...starting with whether they are willing to cooperate economically, gradually move towards medical care, education, science, and then ask them if they are willing to support us in the military, and if they can pass, then ask them if they are willing Pledge your allegiance to the Queen, and finally ask if you want to accept the government and pay taxes to our treasury."

Frankly speaking, Prime Minister Major's ambitions are not too big, after all, the "Minister" of the Minister of Magic is actually ^Minister (Minister)", and he is "Prime Minister (Prime_Minister), the Prime Minister leads the ministers, this is what should be considered in the question meaning.

"Look, you know exactly what you have to do...except paying taxes, which I personally hold a pessimistic view, I think the rest can be discussed," said Mrs. Rimington.

"Thank you, Scola." The Prime Minister was satisfied, "If this thing is done, then this moment will definitely be engraved in our history... Just, I heard that His Royal Highness Charles hurt his leg playing polo?"

"You are a specialist in this, Prime Minister." Lady Rimington did not object to his suggestion, "but may I make a suggestion too?"

"what?"

"If those wizards invite you to participate in some activities next time, can you bring me along. I want to evaluate the battles of wizards from the perspective of a security consultant

no problem. ’ Major agreed.

Chapter 310 Negotiation

Lockhart did not expect that before he contacted the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister would take the lead in making a request for a meeting. In my impression, this was the first time that the Prime Minister had done so.

And the Prime Minister had a good reason for asking to meet—His Royal Highness Prince Charles was injured while playing polo again.

The reason why he said it was because he had injured himself many times before playing polo, but this time his injury was a bit serious-a broken leg.

Both the British people and government officials have expressed their understanding of the injury of His Royal Highness the Prince.

After all, he has been the prince for so many years, and he doesn't usually have much work to do. If he wants to do it, he can also contribute some entertainment news to the media, and there is nothing wrong with it.Even if he accidentally kills himself, doesn't he still have a younger brother and son?

However, considering that his sex-addicted younger brother, Prince Andrew, is likely to die on a woman's bed before him, and the British finances cannot afford to replace a new king in a few years, so the life of His Royal Highness Charles Safety still needs to be guaranteed.

By the way, I implore Her Majesty the Queen to live a long and healthy life—when praying for this one by one, the British cabinet secretaries are absolutely sincere.
