Chapter 177 Cold January
Time slowly enters mid-November.
The weather in London is getting colder every day.But the citizens were suddenly informed of a piece of news.
An exciting news.
The first European summit is about to be held in London. Unlike the G-[-] and the G-[-], only European countries will participate in this European meeting.
This is indeed exciting news. As the host country, the UK, hosting a meeting of this level will send a strong signal to the outside world, a signal of Britain's recovery.
From an economic perspective, this will attract foreign capital to invest in the UK.Positive meetings will also give the stock market a shot in the arm, which can be seen from the stocks that have been floating green for several consecutive days.
As for London, martial law was implemented a week before NO.15. Although London citizens were very surprised by this. They had never held high-level meetings before under martial law, but they would not say anything more. After all, they had already learned from the media. As you know, leaders from at least a dozen countries in Europe will gather in London.
A higher security level seems acceptable.
In addition to WIC's Task Force Commandos, those responsible for the security work in London this time are also the British Special Air Service Regiment. As one of the most elite special forces in the world, it is also the first regular special operations force in the world. It can be described as modern special operations. The British Special Air Service Regiment, one of the pioneers of the tactic, is famous.
Mr. Harker has spent a lot of money this time. He directly dispatched three of the six combat companies of the Special Air Service Regiment. This is almost all the special operations forces that can be mobilized in the entire UK.
The remaining companies are not in the country and they have other tasks.
But even so, the number of security personnel is only more than 500, and including WIC's special commando team, there are only just 600 people.
To this end, the British Joint Operations Command urgently mobilized several elite units including the air force and navy, as well as police forces.In short, the last remaining warmth of the British Empire is almost gathered in London now.
A rapid reaction force of 2000 and [-] people.
If any accident happens this time and causes the remaining warmth to drift away, then Mr. Harker's plan to rebuild the glory of Britain will be shelved indefinitely, at least during his term of office, and he will no longer be able to fiddle with it.
However, Huck, who thought he was fully prepared, would not have thought that their opponents were wizards and a group of fanatics.
If a security guard of this scale is faced with a group of terrorists, it will be absolutely foolproof. Even if another country infiltrates, these elite troops who have experienced hundreds of battles can still protect the meeting.
But what if the opponent is a wizard?

"Prout, do Auror trainees get paid?"
On a high-rise building in London, Nymphadora Tonks, who had been practicing for a year and a half, was asking the man next to her with a low face.
"Yes, you asked me several times!" Mr. Prout looked like he had a headache. He rubbed his forehead vigorously and was very dissatisfied with the newcomer recommended by Moody.
He admitted that Tonks, as a natural disguiser, was of great help to his work as an Auror. It could be said that she was born to eat this kind of food, but this little girl was too out of the ordinary. As an Auror, the most important thing was Just be calm, because they are facing a very vicious dark wizard, and if they are not careful, they will lose their lives.And Tonks...
She seemed to regard this as a game.
"No, I'm asking, if you urgently assigned me to patrol this damn place for a whole week, will I get a bonus?" Tonks asked again.
Strictly speaking, she's not an Auror yet!
The Auror training course lasted for three years. She graduated in 1991 and only completed half of the course.
This time the Ministry of Magic really couldn't spare any manpower, so they sent her as a trainee.
"No! Tonks, pay attention when you are working." Mr. Prout yelled, trying to use his Auror aura to calm the jumping girl.
But Tonks didn't accept his trick at all, and she kept chattering: "The Ministry of Magic is too stingy! I heard Mr. Lupin said that he paid the Prime Minister and bodyguards as much as they did! Although it was in pounds, but that was But it’s a lot of money. Look at this robe of mine. I’ve been wearing it for two years. I wore this one when I graduated, and I still have this one now. There’s a big hole in the hood. I’m using my previous school uniform... .”
Listening to the noise in his ears, Mr. Post's expression was completely broken. Finally he couldn't bear it anymore and roared: "Shut up!"
"No one wants to know your story about mending your hat with your pants. If you dare to say another word, I will seal your mouth!"
Sure enough, the explosion was quite effective. Tonks was startled and quickly shut up.
But just for a moment, her lark-like voice sounded again, "Hey! Is there any magic spell that can seal people's mouths? Is it a transfiguration spell? Sir, maybe we can communicate. I'm learning magic spells very quickly. ..”
"..."
Kingsley and Lupine had a much simpler job than poor Mr. Prost.
They are mainly responsible for protecting the Muggle Prime Minister, that is, just follow Mr. Harker.Work is quite relaxing.As for the security work in Downing Street, other Aurors are responsible for it.
As for Lancaster House in London, where the conference was held, Aurors had already gone there to impose the necessary protective spells.
Although the meeting will only start tomorrow, the two wizard bodyguards arrived at Downing Street three days ago.There is no way, the matter is so important, until now, the Ministry of Magic still has not found any trace of those Death Eaters.
And the less they can find it, the more frightened they become.Who knows if the minds of those Death Eaters who have been imprisoned for more than ten years are still normal. If they really plan to attack the leader of the Muggle world, it will be a disaster for the entire wizarding world.
"Bernard, who should I meet this afternoon?" In the Prime Minister's Office, Mr. Harker was asking about his day's schedule.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Bernard opened the document in his hand slightly and replied: "Well - the suffragette group, the British Federation of Women's Associations, the London Working Men's Association, the Home Secretary, um - and the leader of the Conservative Party."
"Can you ask those three associations to come together?" Mr. Hacker pointed to his watch and said with great concern: "Compress time Bernard!"
"Of course, no problem, Mr. Prime Minister." Bernard smiled slowly and dialed the phone at hand.
Then, throughout the afternoon, all kinds of people came in and out of the prime minister's office.
They all have different demands, for example: the suffragette group demanded more female members of Parliament, and the British Federation of Women's Societies demanded equal pay for men and women for equal work. Although the UK passed the Equal Pay Act in 1970 to ensure that women enjoy equal pay for their work, rights, but this ratio remained low until 92, while the London Workers' Association wanted to reduce working hours.
In short, Mr. Harker deliberately arranged these people to these days. The purpose of doing so was of course to create an image of himself being dedicated to his duties.
After all, in this meeting, in addition to showing his attitude to other countries, he also showed it to this group of British wizards.
I have to say that this did have some effect. At least Kingsley and Lupine recognized from those unfamiliar words that the Prime Minister was indeed a good leader who 'cared about the people'.
In the evening, Mr. Harker personally held a simple banquet for the Aurors protecting the meeting in the Downing Street drawing room.It's very simple, and no alcohol is served. After all, there is a possibility of being attacked every minute.
But it was this persistence that made the wizards take another high look at Mr. Harker.
Not everyone has such determination.
In short, Mr. Harker's operation can be said to have won the goodwill of this group of wizards.While this may not seem useful now, what about in the future?
Who knows what kind of flowers this will produce!
