569. Summoned again
Every night, Mo would send someone to send the news. As a professional ninja, these tasks were so familiar to you. The surveillance network set up by Elizabeth's orders was simply useless.
The leader who monitors us is nothing more than Ulsingham and his capable subordinate Thomas Phillips. I know all these old friends' tricks. It is simply a fantasy to use such outdated means to defend my intelligence network.
Once, a Shinin accidentally revealed clues when passing the message. He was caught by a new Ulsingham subordinate. He followed the Shinin for three streets before he was thrown away.
Perhaps because of his anxious meritorious service, this guy named Maxim actually knocked on the gate of my courtyard for this and wanted to come to my house to search for the hidden thief.
I said something: "I am the Duke of the British Empire. I want to search my courtyard. You can, let the Queen get out of the written search warrant! I am willing to cooperate with the work."
Maxim was so terrified by me, but when I think about it carefully, what I said was true. If I searched a duke's mansion, if there was no queen's instructions, I would be a day after searching for a day, it would be a day after the search!
Maxim left hatefully and returned to the base camp. He said angrily to Ulsingham and Thomas Phillips.
For some reason, the look of the two main leaders looking at him made a deep word in his mind - pity.
Maybe it was an illusion! Maxim said in his heart. As for whether he should apply for a search warrant from the Queen, Ulsingham said this:
"Young people, sometimes, what is right is not necessarily right, and what is wrong is not necessarily wrong. In short, take care of yourself!"
Thomas Phillips did not speak, but nodded silently.
Maxim was a little stunned and didn't understand what happened to the two leaders who had always been strict today. But that night, he knew why the leader said that!
Because he had been on the front line of surveillance, he hadn't returned home for a long time. As a result, he suddenly received a notice late that night that day that there was a fire in his house!
Yes, a fire like a sky fire burned his small building clean!
When Maxim rushed home in a sweat, it was just dawn, and his wife and children were wrapped in sheets, staring blankly at the burned home.
When they woke up in the middle of the night, they were already in the woodshed. No one knew where they got. When they were shaken by the neighbor who caught his fire, they rushed to put out the fire, the main frame of the room had been burned!
Standing in front of the ruins, Maxim didn't know whether to be sad or grateful, nor did he know whether to hate or thank him.
He knew who the other party was, but the other party obviously did not take any action. He transported the people out without knowing it, and just burned the house.
His identity is secret, Maxim is very clear about this. Since he entered Ursingham's organization, his original identity has been cancelled. Now everything is new and clean like a blank piece of paper!
And his wife and children have no nominal relationship with him. So how did that oriental man, well, the Duke of America, find out his own details?
Maxim suddenly remembered what Ulsingham said when he arranged a job to others at the beginning of the mission!
"When working, the country's life is its own."
"Sometimes people should learn to know how to advance and retreat, and not be too serious."
"Anyone who succeeds has his own reason to succeed."
"Take care of yourself!"
All of this happened like a movie before Maxim. When he realized, he quickly walked up and hugged his wife and children who were shaking in the cold wind, knelt heavily on the ground, burst into tears!
Maxim resigned that afternoon. The reason for his resignation was that his body was not suitable for this job.
Ursingham knew what kind of blow this would bring to a young man in his early thirties, so he naturally did not force himself to stay. Instead, he transferred his work relationship to the logistics department and rented him a medium-sized house not far from the headquarters.
After dealing with all this, Ulsingham and Thomas Phelps carefully re-deployed the work and put forward many requirements.
But this time, there is no need to say so much. Seeing Maxim’s experience, other surveillance workers were all frightened.
The only thing worthy of comfort is that the two bosses treat themselves and those of them well, and did not add any damage when Maxim was in trouble, which generally maintained the stability of the team.
These are all small things. Although the circle of insiders is quarreling about it, the outside world has not had much speculation about it.
After all, the weather has been dry since the beginning of spring, and it is normal to have a fire. I just lament that Maxim's family is lucky and has a great life.
In such an atmosphere, late spring has passed and early summer is approaching. The summer in Britain is actually not much different from spring. It is still so cold and humid, sticky like an indelible fish skin.
I focus on practicing every day in such a pure environment, and my sword skills have made great progress. Sometimes I even think that if Elizabeth kept me for another three years, I might be a peerless master when I go out!
This funny fate sometimes really can't tell what is right and what is wrong!
However, my hope of becoming a peerless master was eventually cut in half. On the third day after the establishment, someone knocked on my closed gate here and asked to see me.
After opening the door, it was Elizabeth's niece, Isabella, who came in person.
I was not surprised to see her coming - recently Mo sent the latest news one after another. The fearless fleet used the construction fleet in Europe as a cover to attract the attention of almost everyone, but in fact the real construction factory is located in Africa!
Youxi contacted Rodriguez and played a beautiful sound attack.
Countries including Britain and Spain all believe that the construction scale of Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Bruges represents the entirety of the Fighter. They have been paying attention to it, but they are not too panic.
But when the African fleet drove to Europe in a mighty manner and was attacked by the Spanish Navy near Iberia, it fought a fierce battle with the Spanish war fleet that it encountered!
In that battle, the Spanish Navy was sunk six warships, while one of the Fearless Fleet was not damaged! The six-to-zero result made everyone's glasses shatter all over the ground, and they began to face the status and strength of the Fleet.
And this should be the main reason why Elizabeth summoned me. She was panicked, and that was the root.
In fact, according to the British fleet displacement, it is definitely dozens of times, hundreds of times the Dreadnought Fleet.
But terrible is terrible. The Fleet of Deathless is commanded by a unified command, like an arm, while the huge British fleet is subject to capital in all aspects. The force the Queen can mobilize is actually very limited.
Unless it is a situation where the decisive battle with Spain is a matter of not winning, you will die, so everyone fights desperately.
As for now, the situation is good and people have money in their pockets, who will fight to survive?
So from this perspective, the UK is actually facing a situation similar to Spain as overall, and my actions just touched Elizabeth's pain point - she does not have as strong capital operation ability as I do, or the UK does not have as strong capital integration ability as the Netherlands.
So when Elizabeth learned about this pattern, she was completely panicked and hurriedly sent Isabella to see me.
"Qi Lan, you've done it too much!" Isabella said straight to the point when she saw me: "The queen is very angry and annoyed. Have you figured out how to explain to her?"
"Why should I explain to her?" I said sarcastically: "She has the ability to stab me in the back, so I am not qualified to prevent such a thing from happening again? What is the reason?"
Isabella stared at my eyes quietly. From my eyes, she only saw confidence, confidence and perseverance, and there was no panic when she was about to face the disaster.
"Do you really think the Queen won't touch you? You should know that the reason is entirely because she is nostalgic." Isabella tried her best to convince me.
But I hummed and laughed: "Nostalgia? It is me who is really nostalgia! Elizabeth is injuring my interests like this and wants to cause disaster to my base. I did not declare war on her immediately, but came back to meet her, which means that it is me who is really nostalgia, not her!"
Isabella was silent, but I was in a position to be in mercy and said loudly in the direction of Westminster Palace:
"If Elizabeth talks, I can, I have three requests."
Isabella looked at me and gestured to me to continue speaking with her eyes.
"First, apologize." I said seriously: "It is worthy of the most sincere apology to the friendly friends and friendly forces."
Isabella nodded and I continued, "Second, compensation."
"How many accompany me?" Isabella asked.
"I will send the accounting list, what I want now is an attitude."
Isabella nodded and said nothing.
"Third, stop other hostilities, you understand what I'm talking about, if she has any actions that are not good for my fleet, then I think we all have our own choices, right?"
"She is the queen!" Isabella finally left and was angry.
She came to see me, but she was really the reason she said just now. She was nostalgic. She didn't want to see me and her elders head-on conflicts, especially since she was deeply tied to Elizabeth. Hurting Elizabeth is hurting her, and there is no difference.
"How could the Queen apologize? There wasn't before, there wasn't now, and there will never be any future!"
"Hmph! Of course, this is her power!" I was not outdone: "I have been here for so long and have fulfilled my morality for three days!"
I stretched out three fingers at Isabella: "In three days, if she doesn't give the final answer, I will leave. After all, time is precious, and I don't have time to play with her here!"
Isabella glanced at me deeply, nodded and said coldly: "I will convey what you mean to Her Majesty the Queen."
Chapter completed!
