Chapter 462: The True Identity of the Prince

After a short silence and digestion, Harry no longer had any doubts about all this. Of course, the place where he had quite a few complaints was that even if Ge Xuan was out of public interest for the country and the people, the national interests of the East and the national interests of Britain were not necessarily the same, which was not a good thing for him. But for the power of Ohma Zi-O, Harry admitted that this was indeed the best news he had received since the fourth year.

However, as Harry who had carefully studied modern history and political theory since he was a child, he had one last question he wanted to ask.

"Master Xuanjun, you seem to have never mentioned the topic of ideology, but Zhang Qiu told me before that the East also participated in the Communist International. May I ask what is going on?"

"This, the East has its own consistent ideology, which is pragmatism," Ge Xuan laughed. "Planned economy and market economy have their own advantages and disadvantages. We adopt a planned economy for important strategic resources and military supplies, and a market economy for civilian light industry. The application of ideology is still relatively flexible."

"As for supporting the Communist International, it is purely out of sympathy for third-world countries. The eating of those capitalists is too ugly, isn't it?"

Harry thought about his words thoughtfully. Indeed, even Yanayev, who insisted on carrying the red flag, had to find other ways to enrich the domestic light industry market, otherwise the dissatisfaction of the people could not be suppressed no matter what. It can only be said that theory must be adjusted with development and cannot hold on to dogma.

After the last question was asked, Harry thought it was time to say goodbye. Ge Xuan returned to the country by Portkey, but Harry and the others couldn't leave directly, because there was an anti-Apparition barrier in the tower, and they had only learned this spell for a short time, and they were not sure about cross-border long-distance transmission.

On the stairs, Hermione suddenly asked: "Harry, do you think our multi-party system will gradually become the kind of degenerate appearance in Xuanjun's mouth?"

"It shouldn't be in a short time. The Labour Party has just obtained the right to govern and can do some new atmosphere, and next, Hark will definitely start to break the Statute of Secrecy," Harry analyzed. "When society develops at high speed, many contradictions will be covered up."

"But it's hard to say in the long run, right?" Hermione sighed. "Wasn't it the same for the eighteen years of the Conservative Party? Thatcher was very imposing at the beginning, but the Major period was really hard to describe."

"I think the biggest disagreement is the attitude toward Europe. Thatcher doubted, Major accepted, and now Hark has begun to strongly oppose it. Eh, this is a very hesitant question. There is no way, the essence is a geographical problem."

Just when Hermione wanted to continue to express her high opinions, Ron reached out and stopped him: "Don't talk about these, damn it, I forgot to ask, so who is Kiva?"

"... In short, it's one of our own," Neville barely provided a clue.

When they were sitting on the train back and chatting about different topics in two factions, another big battle was happening in the Ministry of Magic at this moment.

Gregory Hillber and Donna Noble, two senior executives in charge of different projects in the Department of Mysteries, were having an unprecedentedly fierce argument in front of the Director. Their main disagreement was whether the Queen Project still needed to be promoted.

Lu Xiusi sat at the end of the conference table without saying a word. He fully understood Gregory's enthusiasm for the Queen Project. After all, the selfishness he hid in it was known to everyone. However, before, Lu Xiusi was always willing to adopt a strategy of cooperation and mutual utilization with him, because he was the Director of the Department of Mysteries and a director with ambition who was unwilling to be safe. For him, the success of the Queen Project undoubtedly achieved the strategic goal of "needing to resist Kamen Riders" proposed by Snape, and the improvement of the status of vampires? This kind of thing is for the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures to worry about, and if the director doesn't handle it well, it will also leave a stain.

But now, Lu Xiusi had developed a brand-new technology that could bypass the armor and hit the transformer directly, thereby threatening Kamen Riders, which was the soul magic he had used before. Since he had already shown enough ability and value, then even if these vampires succeeded, how much "disgusting the Minister" effect could they play? Arthur is currently trying to pave the way for Percy. If he can find an opportunity to pull down the Director of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures... No, this is a position without a future, and the current director is not stupid, he may not handle the vampire matter well.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiusi looked at Gregory again and said slowly: "I think you are right just now, Mr. Gregory, but I must remind you that our funds are not enough to launch another Queen Project in a short time. This matter must be discussed from a long-term perspective."

"Then we can also continue theoretical research," Gregory argued strongly. "Funds can be saved."

"I don't think there is any point in continuing to allocate funds to the Queen Project. The funds of the entire Department of Mysteries are not much to begin with," Donna said aggressively. "I have already made huge progress here, and it is time for in-depth research."

"But you also admit that your research is based on blood magic and blood eagle, which was originally a derivative project of the Queen Project!" Gregory grabbed this point and outputted crazily. "I think your group should be merged into the Queen Project, and then additional funds should be allocated..."

"Speechless, can't talk to you," Donna rolled her eyes. "I have already sent someone to find Professor Snape."

"What's the use of you finding him?" Gregory spread his hands abruptly. "Lu Xiusi is the Director!"

Lu Xiusi was obviously very useful for this sentence, but he would not stand for Gregory to sing against Snape because of this. Anyone with a brain knows that the one is the real person in charge of the British magic world now.

"Please be calm, Mr. Hillber," Lu Xiusi delayed smoothly. "I think the suspension of the plan and the reduction of funds might be a certainty, but how much to reduce, which projects to cut, and what new directions can be declared... all of this can still be studied."

This paragraph opened a new round of debate, and Lu Xiusi was reconciling from time to time. Finally, he waited for the person who could make the decision: the door of the conference room opened, and Snape stood at the door with a cold face.

"Severus, you came just in time, you can give some suggestions," Lu Xiusi's ability to say scene words was as good as ever. "We are discussing the follow-up of the Queen Project."

"There is no follow-up, Gregory," Snape said coldly. "Cut the whole plan, you can take your companions to find another way out."

"What?" Gregory stood up abruptly. "What right do you have to say—"

"I discovered long ago that you are working for Yanayev," Snape knocked on the table. "Out of some other strategic considerations, I didn't drive you away on the spot, but now you cannot stay."

"I admit that I am not a local, but I have indeed not worked for Yanayev," Gregory defended himself calmly. "My long-cherished wish has always been to improve the status of the blood clan, and for this reason, I painstakingly found the Queen Project as a way out. You might be able to find the records of me promoting this plan to others before, but you don't need to doubt my loyalty to the Ministry of Magic."

"I also just out of this point, so I promised to let you live," Snape's tone suppressed anger. "Only Joseph Milton must stay."

"Why? He is the chief researcher, all the data is in his mind!" Gregory blocked in front of the researcher. "Without him, we can't restart the Queen Project."

"Because he knew from the beginning that the plan was not feasible, but out of Yanayev's instruction, he deceived everyone!" Snape took out a document and threw it on the table. "He tampered with the data and test records, creating the illusion that the plan was feasible, the purpose was to consume our resources."

Joseph didn't look at the document at all, just said firmly: "My calculation is not wrong."

Facing such a defense that was only empty words, Gregory chose to believe Joseph rather than Snape after a short hesitation. Perhaps, it was because he was unwilling to believe that the Queen Project had no prospects.

Lu Xiusi asked with the calmness of a bystander: "However, if Yanayev just wanted to consume some of our resources, he did so many things, would it be a bit... not worth the loss?"

"He didn't do much, just used a vampire who couldn't see the situation clearly," Snape's face became more gloomy. "And the effect was outstanding, not only wasting our resources, delaying time, but also misleading our research direction, and, this Milton lurked in our Ministry of Magic for a long time, he can contact many secrets."

He didn't say the thing that made him most intolerable in front of others, that is, the KGB used spells and potions to control Mia, intending to steal more secrets from himself. If she was a spy from the beginning, Snape wouldn't be so furious, but it happened that she was innocent, and only after the two's feelings were noticed did...

Snape's anger could no longer be tolerated. He pulled out his wand and pointed at Gregory, who was blocking in front of the researcher. "If you don't get out, then you too."

"I ask you to investigate again, sir," Gregory stood firmly in front of the wand.

Lu Xiusi pulled out his wand and pointed at Joseph immediately, Donna also got up and pointed her wand at Gregory, and the two wizard researchers behind her also followed and stretched out their wands.

"We cannot lose him, even if you want to stop the cooperation, this is one of the people I must take out," Gregory pulled out the big sword hidden under the cloak, and said coldly as if facing a formidable enemy. "What if I resist the spell and make a scene in the Ministry of Magic? Mr. Malfoy, this counts as a

"If they charge toward the musketeer squad, I'm afraid it won't end well." Ma Erfu still held his wand up, but his words had already turned conciliatory, "Severus, why don't we just let it go?"

Sineipu did not speak, merely fastening his belt.

"Kivat! Half-Blood Prince!"

"Wake up fever!"
