Marvel Book of Magical Events

Mycroft Holmes tried hard to stay calm, but his steps still betrayed his thoughts. The hard leather heels struck a series of dull notes on the expensive dark wooden floor, which made the other man holding a teacup next to the round table. The elderly man wearing old-fashioned black-rimmed glasses was very dissatisfied. "My ears are not old enough to not hear the noise made by the Yugoslav Federation, but I did not expect that anyone would ignore the NATO army's build-up actions in the past few months. I admit, even if the Yugoslav Federation chooses to start the war on Saturday, let the NATO troops There is no way to respond, but the Yugoslav Federation will always suffer the consequences. The previous inaction of the NATO group was entirely because the United States called a halt...or because the speech at the United Nations Headquarters frightened the elected politicians."

"We are humble vessels of the public will, Sir Holmes." The old man, whose skin was as saggy as a pug because of aging, maintained his usual calm attitude. "Before the Queen and the Prime Minister make a decision, we should guide it. This is Her Majesty's government, and it is Her Majesty the Queen who should make the decision, not the President of the United States. At least on the surface." He said, "Calm down, you It is the head of the civil service, not the minister. You should seize this opportunity to influence the Brexit process and prevent untrained elected political officials from harming the long-term interests of the country. Of course, I will not accuse you of this, after all, I do not know the inside story, but interference Doctrine has penetrated into every aspect of the system, which inevitably makes people doubt whether you are reliable."

"This is the greatest insult, Sir Arbinson!" Mycroft Holmes said. "I believe that the Freedom of Information Movement Committee has enough information to prove the Prime Minister's tough attitude."

"If this is the Prime Minister's wish, then the Cabinet Secretary can only reluctantly comply with it." Sir Arnold Abbinson smacked his lips and put down the tea cup, his eyes filled with disappointment for Mycroft Holmes. The Brexit referendum put politicians under a lot of pressure, and serving civil servants also had a hard time. The reason is not just that Mycroft Holmes was unable to organize a referendum on leaving the EU. On the surface, the previous Prime Minister was an idiot who played bad ballot politics. In fact, he was a bad guy who was supported by capitalists in the London financial industry who tried to avoid taxes and used online tools to manipulate public opinion (how could he not prepare before the referendum)? After all, that Prime Minister An Etonian and Oxford native, the Brexit Bill has brought benefits to many. What really disappoints him is that Mycroft Holmes is unable to act as prime minister and come up with a Brexit plan that only accepts rights without taking responsibility. He can only continue to delay.

"If the Prime Minister is smart enough, he will realize how to get the most votes. If the Prime Minister chooses to give in to the opposition party, it will undoubtedly be a huge damage to the civil service system. We should help the Prime Minister rather than hinder it. After all, the next European The Board of Governors has many troubles to resolve, such as who will repay the debt of the Greek region and whether the new government will recognize the debt of the International Monetary Fund..." Sir Arnold Arbinson. As one of the victims of the EU tax avoidance bill, it is not that he does not support the Brexit referendum. He hopes that Mycroft Holmes will also know this. More importantly, a large group of people he represents also support Brexit. To be precise, we want to enjoy the benefits of Brexit but avoid the disadvantages of Brexit. "A longer Brexit timetable would be good for the empire and you need to get a similar consensus in the House of Commons, such as taking back the UK's judicial powers."

Mycroft Holmes took a deep breath.

"So the referendum result..."

"European Union membership is just a title, and it does not matter whether it is there or not. The Prime Minister's proposal is currently the most beneficial to the Empire. This is not an issue that the House of Commons needs to consider. Only we civil servants are the ones who continue the Empire's system." Sir Arnold Arbinson Cane stood up with difficulty and changed the subject in the blink of an eye. “I heard there’s a gene therapy that’s very popular recently, and many Americans I know have tried it. Do you know former Security Council President Gideon Malik? I heard that old guy started playing golf again recently! But there are some small problems now, that is, the birthplace of this technology is not very popular..."

"I think there is no need for Britain to participate in the war in Greece, and NATO will not get much support." Mycroft Holmes said. He knew exactly what his predecessor was up to. As a Grand Cross of St. Michael and St. George (God calls me God), Lord Victoria, Chairman of the Freedom of Information Campaign, Chairman of Bank of the West, Director of BP , Chairman of the Royal Theater Foundation, Honorary Chancellor of Oxford University, Deputy Governor of the Bank of England, Chairman of the National Security Council, President of the British-Caribbean Association, and former Secretary-General of the Commonwealth, the only thing he desires now is life.

"Very well." Sir Arnold Arbinson raised his eyebrows. He guessed that Mycroft Holmes knew his purpose, but that Sir Arnold Abbinson did not care at all. This is an open secret among certain circles of powerful people who are troubled by aging. Because of this, the Yugoslav Federation's co-optation, sanctions and espionage wars have never stopped. The Freedom of Information Movement is one of the investors in those actions. . "I believe that the House of Commons will reach a consensus on the Prime Minister's new plan, at least temporarily," he said. "I hope you can let the Prime Minister accept some more suggestions. Maybe you wouldn't mind going on vacation to the Caribbean in a few days?"

When the heavy footsteps gradually disappeared at the top of the stairs and watched the black car slowly drive away from downstairs, Mycroft Holmes immediately took out a prepaid mobile phone and made a call. "He can no longer waste time on the other side of the world. Only you can persuade him to come back, Watson." He said, "I have arranged a flight for you, please leave as soon as possible. The British Empire needs him, and Her Majesty the Queen needs him."

In order to avoid interrupting the pleasant atmosphere, Dinah did not choose to directly bring him the surveillance report that had just been released. Instead, she sandwiched the paper with the transcribed conversation and time in the wine list and delivered it to the table herself. . As soon as he opened the wine list, he saw the contents of the conversation that the agents eavesdropped on more than ten minutes ago. A scannable electronic coat of arms allowed those with authority to access the database and listen to the secret conversations between cabinet secretaries more intuitively and clearly. Make sure the automated transcription program doesn't miss any information. "I have always liked Pinot Noir." He put down the wine list and said to the witch, "Next time we come to the restaurant, we should deliver the selected wine first."

"Don't be so shy, boy." Bayonetta glanced at Him with narrowed eyes. Dinah's little move couldn't be hidden from her. To be precise, everyone except Lara Croft who was present knew what was in the wine list. The moment she opened the wine list, there were many double eyes of heaven. Just sweep from behind Him. This technique more than once led to him winning large bonuses from Las Vegas early in his career, but now he has better ways to launder money and avoid taxes. "You have booked this restaurant, so enjoy the wine provided in the restaurant. Dinah... I hope He will not mention things like security procedures again."

"I'm sure he has checked every bottle of wine in the restaurant." Athena said, "This is from the bill. Maybe by the end of the meal, there will be a lot more wine in the manor cellar. .Do you have enough shelves in your wine cellar?”
