Chapter 1316 The heart is in the empire (first update, please subscribe)
London, Downing Street.
On this street with constant pedestrian traffic, black mounted police officers from the Scotland Yard police team patrol around No. 10 Downing Street every day.
After all, Downing Street is the political heart of the British Empire and the seat of the empire's head of government. It is only natural that it can enjoy the vigilant treatment of black-clad mounted policemen.
Especially recently, reports of "Boer saboteurs throwing bombs in Cape Town" have appeared in newspapers from time to time, which has intensified people's fears. In this case, Scotland Yard will definitely have to strengthen the security of Downing Street.
, otherwise if someone really drops a bomb, it will be the end of the world.
Therefore, the British gentlemen passing by Downing Street have long been accustomed to such a scene. They just took a look.
After a while, accompanied by a roar of engines, two black cars were seen driving over. When the leading Rolls-Royce parked steadily outside the door of No. 10 Downing Street, the following Rover car
As soon as the car stopped, two policemen got out.
Humphrey, the chief secretary of No. 10 Downing Street, had already walked out of the famous black wooden door with several secretaries in tuxedos. He was standing on the sidewalk with a smile. When the car stopped, he walked up diligently.
I went to open the door for the passengers.
The person who got out of the first Rolls-Royce was Prime Minister Robert Gascoigne Cecil. Humphrey bowed slightly and said with a smile:
"Mr Prime Minister, welcome back to 10 Downing Street."
After Humphrey got out of the car, he put on his hat and carried a cane. After seeing Humphrey, he said.
"How's it going? Is the news confirmed?"
Humphrey asked, walking towards the door.
It was Humphrey who opened the door. After entering the room, he said:
"What is certain is that when the foreign ministers of the four countries gather in Yalta, something big is going to happen."
When the words fell, Humphrey turned around and said.
"Mr. Bond, bring that document."
James Bond, who was following him, quickly handed a document to the chief secretary. After taking the document, Humphrey continued.
"One thing that is certain is that it has nothing to do with the Russian colonies in Africa. According to the information we have received from them, the Russians and the French have already reached an agreement..."
Even now, more than ten years after Russia changed its name to the "Roman Empire", people in Europe and even around the world still use "Russia" or "Russia" instead when referring to them. After all, for Europeans,
...Rome is the eternal "temple" in their minds. Even if those Russian barbarians steal the name, they will not agree with it privately.
"It seems that there must be a conspiracy in this matter."
Cecil took the document, looked at it, and then said.
"Could it be related to South Africa?"
"There may only be a partial relationship with South Africa, Your Excellency, we think..."
As the soul of the Prime Minister's Office and the most elite civil servant in the British Empire, Humphrey is certainly not the kind of imperial civil servant who just waits for death. In fact, most of the time, the political decisions of the British Empire are made by him.
, or it was determined by his suggestion. Looking at Humphrey who was following the Prime Minister, James Bond just kept a certain distance politely. As a secretary, he was still some distance away from Humphrey.
, in fact, this distance is just...Humphrey's age.
Although the office door closed soon, James Bond already knew what they were going to talk about next. After all, he and Humphrey discussed it for a long time yesterday.
From South Africa to Persia, from Persia to India, from India to the Pacific, and then to the Americas, the general trend of the world is like this. The British Empire may control the world, but in this world, there are always too many challengers.
At this time, the British Empire must respond accordingly.
But how much energy does the British Empire have to respond now?
Besides, what on earth are the foreign ministers of the "Four Emperors Alliance" discussing when they gather together?
While Humphrey and the Prime Minister were discussing the problem in the office, James Bond returned to his office. When entering the office, his assistant Mr. Hank, a young man who had just graduated from Cambridge,
When I saw him entering the office, I stood up in a hurry.
After a slight nod, he entered the office - he had an independent office at No. 10 Downing Street. Although it was only less than fifty square feet, it was also a symbol of identity and status.
Then he walked to the desk and sat there. First he checked the desk, and then he looked at the drawers. Everything was the same as when he left, without any changes.
Then, James Bond, who was sitting on the chair, took out a metal cigarette case from his arms and took out a cigarette. He put the cigarette case gently on the table, lit the cigarette and started smoking. The sun shone through
The window shone into his office, and he quietly enjoyed this moment of tranquility.
This was his moment, watching the sunlight move between light and shadow in an imperceptible way, with a faint smile on James Bond's face, and he watched the smoke rising in the light and shadow.
As he transformed in the air, he stood up, walked to the safe on the wall, opened the safe, and took out a document marked "Top Secret".
The document bears the insignia of the Royal Navy. This document is what many spies are eager to obtain, and spies from many countries are willing to obtain it at any cost. However, it was so easily delivered to James Bond, and even
It was delivered to him personally by the Secretary to the Lord of the Admiralty.
After taking out the document, James Bond picked up the metal cigarette case, opened the document, flipped through the document, and kept taking pictures of the document with the cigarette case.
No one knows that the metal cigarette case that James Bond carries with him every day is actually a pocket camera. In the past few years, he has used this camera to capture too much confidential information.
Of course, the information was almost always like this. They took the initiative to come to him and didn't give him a chance to refuse.
While the dignitaries upstairs were discussing the future of the British Empire, they did not know that the secrets of the British Empire had been leaked to the ground.
A few hours later, James Bond left No. 10 Downing Street as usual. For him, this was just an ordinary working day...
