Chapter 109 Yes, Prime Minister (13)

Today's London is still submerged in cold and rainy weather, the streets are filled with fog, the sky is overcast, and there is no trace of sunshine.

Zhao Yingkong and George Joestar stepped into the door of the Downing Street Cabinet under the introduction of Earl Hirsing.

Zhao Yingkong had never been here before. In the real world, the Zhao family generally would not accept such tasks from important national leaders, so this was her first time to get close to the power center of this big empire.

George Joestar's expression was even more complicated.

Once upon a time, he was still fighting for this country.

But after learning the truth in the darkness, he now felt only anger and sadness.

In his eyes, this majestic Cabinet Office, the power center of the British Empire, was not much different from the vampire castle just now.

They walked into the cabinet meeting room and saw Prime Minister James sitting behind the huge oak table with a frown on his face and an unreadable expression.

Three interior ministers stood beside him, reporting something.

His fingers tapped lightly on the table, as if he was thinking about some important decision.

"Good morning, Prime Minister. I'm so sorry to bother you so early in the morning."

Lord Hircine bowed slightly. "It's just that I have something very important to report to you in person."

"Count, you called so early that I thought some ghost was going to storm Downing Street."

Prime Minister James was very familiar with Count Hircine, and he greeted him jokingly: "This damn weather, my knees are making it impossible for me to get a good night's sleep."

Wingate Helsing is the head of the Royal Order of England and the official esoteric side of British affairs.

He himself has limited abilities and does not have the courage and ability of his ancestors who killed Count Dracula single-handedly.

As the first post-war Prime Minister, James gained public support with his conservative and compromising political views.

Overall, the two get along quite well.

Turning his gaze to George, Prime Minister James put on a smile, stood up and shook hands with George.

The Prime Minister took the initiative to greet him. "I suppose this is the hero of the Battle of Luce, a descendant of the Joestar family. How tall and handsome! We should have you as the protagonist of our promotional film!"

"Oh, please forgive me, as an old man, I only watch old movies. I'm a little afraid of new things."

"Especially when you flew that Iron Cross over London, I almost had a heart attack."

"It was Earl Hircine who later informed me of the situation. I could only ask him to rescue you as soon as possible. I'm so glad to see you're okay."

Most people would give up after this experienced politician's combination of defense and attack.

But George Joestar was so determined that he remained unmoved. He said with a resolute look, "Prime Minister, I beg you to send out the army to completely eliminate the vampires lurking among the upper echelons."

"They are killing people wantonly and should be completely eliminated!"

In one sentence, he was so decisive that even a political veteran like James looked unnatural for a moment.

At this time, some other officials in the cabinet looked horrified, obviously shocked by the news of vampire infiltration.

Some looked indifferent, as if they didn't care at all.

Others secretly observed the Prime Minister's expression and tried to guess what he was thinking.

But then Prime Minister James waved his hand, motioning for others to leave, and closed the door.

Ran turned around with a helpless expression on his face: "Major Joestar, as the first victim, I don't want to deceive you."

"Please forgive my inability. Humans and vampires signed the Albert Agreement, which is the basis for the two races to maintain peace for hundreds of years."

"Although there are occasional frictions now, overall, the situation of stability and co-prosperity between the two ethnic groups is positive."

"We cannot take action against them based on individual cases. This is not in line with the treaty, and Parliament and His Majesty the King have not given me such power."

"Besides, as you know, war-weariness is rampant among the military after the war. And the vampires, because of the European War, have gained control of a lot of resources."

"Once a war breaks out, not only will it be difficult to assess the outcome, but the economy will also face major problems."

"This could lead to the spread of something even more terrifying than the vampires, which would mean an even more desperate future for the empire."

In short, what Prime Minister James meant was that the issue of blood clans is a deep-rooted problem that has existed for centuries.

Due to the constraints of the agreement, we cannot deal with it hastily and need to consider it carefully.

"We need a lot of energy to keep the empire running. And with the Albert Agreement, we can't easily break this balance."

The Prime Minister's expression seemed calm and gentle, but there was actually a subtle flash of impatience in his eyes.

His words were like cold raindrops, extinguishing the fire of hope that had just ignited in Joestar's heart.

George Joestar couldn't stand it any longer and threw a stack of photos on the Prime Minister's desk.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, you want to abide by the agreement, but those vampires never take it to heart!"

"If we don't act, what's happening in Egypt is what's happening in London!"

In George's opinion, he was transferred to Cairo by a Vampire insider and was nearly killed by his colleagues. He also witnessed the massive military riot in Cairo with his own eyes. To say that the Vampires had no hand in this was a foolish thing to do.

Prime Minister James picked up the photo.

Above is a photo of Cairo in ruins, countless zombies wreaking havoc, and the army under siege.

"Without orders from the cabinet or the military, the aviation regiment and navy stationed in Egypt were instigated to massacre part of the army forces loyal to the royal family."

"The fighting spread throughout Cairo, but here in London, no one knew anything about it. It seemed as if everyone was still immersed in the feast."

"They're also holding a so-called secret party meeting at Vanessa Castle. Here's the party list!"

A list was once again thrown on the Prime Minister's desk, and every name on it was enough to cause shock among the top political, financial and business leaders.

Many of these names are celebrities who have passed away in society.

Prime Minister James was silent for the first time, and the signature smile on his face disappeared.

He was not unaware of this. Just the day before yesterday, intelligence arrived from Cairo reporting that unrest had broken out in Egypt and that the army had suffered serious losses after following the cabinet's instructions to quell the riot.

But he knew that he had little control over these colonial troops, so how could he mobilize them to quell the rebellion?

Moreover, whose chaos was settled? The intelligence was written vaguely.

But he did not openly let the intelligence agency investigate at that time. After all, he couldn't investigate everything, and they might find out something.

Then he encountered the vicious incident of Joestar flying a German plane across London, which left him no time to worry about other things.

Unexpectedly, the situation in Cairo has become so bad, just as Joestar said.

Some people loyal to the royal family were ruthlessly purged by them. Could it be that those vampires really wanted to rebel?

I don't really want to stand in the sun and start competing for power with these old bureaucrats of the British Empire.

As the post-war Prime Minister, James was not known for his tough stance, but rather as a spokesperson for the moderate and compromising faction.

As for the issue of the vampires, he just wanted to stick to the old ways and not destroy the old traditions, and just send them some colonial populations and local bankrupt poor people to fill their stomachs.

Why should we sacrifice the lives of true gentlemen of the British Empire for those peasants and vampires?

Besides, there might be many old and dying nobles who want to become a member of the vampire clan and gain immortality.

Even so, he could not accept the vampires interfering in the royal army.

The previous wartime cabinet had no choice but to open the emerging air force to the vampires in order to gain the support of the secret party.

Now they have infiltrated the navy and army, the most vital parts of the British Empire.

By then, it will be just as Joestar said, the vampires will have connections with high-ranking human nobles within the clan, and will control a large number of royal navies and armies outside.

That means they can launch a coup at any time and oust this group of people from power.

"Major Joestar, I respect you very much, but this matter really requires careful planning."

Putting down the photo, Prime Minister James said seriously, "As the Swordbearer protecting humanity, I will entrust the State Cult with full authority to investigate this matter."

"If any vampires really want to break the agreement and start a war, we will definitely teach them a lesson!"

Investigation, investigation, it’s his investigation!
George suddenly felt more discouraged than ever before, and his originally tall and straight back bent down.

He didn't understand why no action could be taken with so much evidence right in front of him.

Hirsing sighed silently. He had anticipated that it would be impossible to go to war with the vampires now.

The European War broke the backbone of this great empire, leaving it with only its last breath to survive.

Whether facing the vampires or other forces, he seemed powerless and could only barely maintain superficial authority.

Just when the Prime Minister's Office was in a stalemate, Zhao Yingkong suddenly heard a subtle, sharp sound, as if countless people in the distance were scratching metal on glass, which made his heart move.

But when he saw other people, including his companions, he saw that they seemed to have no consciousness at all.

The strange noises Zhao Yingkong heard became louder and louder. Gradually, George, Prime Minister James, and Count Hirsing became aware of them one after another, and then all ordinary people heard them.

At the same time, the sky, which was already a little gloomy due to the fog, became even darker, and the strange noise became louder and louder, hitting everyone's eardrums like a tide.

Prime Minister James looked out the window and found that the sky was already filled with dense swarms of bats.

They circled in the air in groups, gathering more and more, until they covered the sky like a sky full of dark clouds.

At the same time, dozens of Hendrix biplanes flew over London.

It was no longer painted with the Union Jack, but with the bloody tusk symbol.

The backlash from opening the air force to the vampires during wartime has already begun.

Now, the vampires command the Royal Air Force and officially declare war on humans.

In an instant, the Prime Minister felt his heart skip a beat, his face turned pale, and he quickly covered his heart.
