Chapter 378: A Little Trick

Anyone with even a passing knowledge of Europe is probably familiar with Buckingham Palace, as it is the most famous palace in the United Kingdom and the main residence of Her Majesty the Queen.

At 4 pm, Her Majesty the Queen finishes her afternoon nap and freshen up. This is the advice given by her personal physician on how to maintain her health. The Queen also pays great attention to her own health. Since she ascended the throne in 1952, she has been in control of the country for almost 40 years. But she is very confident in her physical condition, and if things continue as they are, it is not impossible for her to remain queen for another 25 years. It's just that I don't know what the soon-to-be-70-year-old crown prince thinks.

Suddenly the Queen's eyes opened, and then the door to the room was pushed open. A woman gently walked into the room and stood behind the Queen.

The Queen glanced at the mirror and said, 'So it's the Lady Chancellor. Let me guess, you've come to see me about the pound, haven't you?'

The woman who had entered the queen's chambers was none other than the current British Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher. However, the Iron Lady was frowning at the moment. She nodded to the Queen: 'Your Majesty is wise. I did come for the pound because Philip told me that you had asked him to stop defending the pound exchange rate. I don't understand the point of this.'

Mrs Salche added: 'Your Majesty, do you know that the pound has now fallen below the floor set for us by the European Exchange Rate Mechanism, and that we are about to withdraw from it?'

The Queen slowly turned her head, and after sitting there for a while looking at Salche, she asked leisurely, 'Why do we have to stay in this system?'

Mrs Salche was taken aback by this sudden question and didn't know how to answer, while the Queen continued, 'You know that our Kingdom of Great Britain has never belonged to this Great 6, but rather an eagle hovering above the Great 6, ready to swoop down into the Great 6's jungle to hunt. Then we must never allow ourselves to be bound by the jungle.'

'And since the establishment of this so-called exchange rate system, it has always been centred on the German mark. Now that Germany has been unified, it is constantly raising interest rates for its own benefit. Isn't the aim to force us out? Their actions are so despicable and disgusting, why should we continue to play along with them? It would be better to just withdraw and it would be more beneficial to ourselves.'

The queen looked up at Madame Salcher and suddenly asked her, 'But these are just petty tricks. So, what do you think, Madame?'

'Indeed, that is correct. I have never wanted to ally myself with the bunch of guys on the big six, and I understand their strong hostility towards the Kingdom of Great Britain,' Mrs Salche continued, 'But we should withdraw in a dignified manner, not after the exchange rate has fallen below the floor, as if we were being driven out, which would be detrimental to Her Majesty's dignity.'

'Therefore So, Your Majesty, what I mean is why didn't you consult me on the decision you made? Even if my approval rating has dropped, I am still your prime minister,' Mrs Salcher said, unable to hide her anger at the end.

The Queen smiled gently, then looked out of the window and gave Mrs Salcher an answer that surprised her and which she did not fully understand: 'A long, long time ago, I owed them a great favour, a favour that could only be repaid with something very heavy.'

Mrs asked the Queen what it was, but she did not answer her again.

On the road to Ettel, Zhou Mingzheng was speeding along in his car, driving in front of him, looking left and right nervously.

'To be seriously, I strongly advise against accepting the invitation from the Daewood family. After all, with the fall of the British Empire, they have lost all hope. In their desperation, they may make some crazy decisions. 'After and said, 'I think if your sister Muqing and Tang Ran knew about this, they definitely wouldn't agree to you taking such a risk.'

Zhou Ming of course understood that the only crazy decision the Daewood family would make would be to kill him in a fit of anger. Zhou Ming laughed and said, 'So Zhang, just don't tell them . Of course I don't deny this possibility, but as the royal family of this automobile kingdom, if they really want to kill me, they can do it even if I don't come to them.'

'But I've been fine since I left the house, so I'm afraid they really just want to talk to me,' Zhou Ming was very confident.

Seeing Zhou Ming say saying that, he didn't say much more. To him, no matter what happened, he would do his best to protect Ming's safety.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhou Ming arrived at the Great Wood Manor, where the family butler greeted him at the door.

'On behalf of my master, Mr. George, I welcome Mr. Zhou Ming's visit. My master is already waiting for you in the manor. Please.'

The butler said and made a gesture inviting Zhou Ming to come in. Zhou Ming then rolled up the window again, opened the car and drove into the courtyard. George and Wood were sitting in the middle of the courtyard. Seeing this, Zhou Ming let the car go onto the lawn and stopped directly in front of George and his son.

'Mr. Zhou Ming Mr. Zhou, this is very rude. You should park the car next to it and then walk over,' George reminded him with a frown.

Zhou Ming just smiled: 'Is that so? Then I'm sorry, but I don't think I'll ever be a gentleman.'

After saying this, Ming sat directly in front of George. George and his son were obviously annoyed by Zhou Ming's casual attitude. Wood immediately slammed the table and said, 'Zhou Ming, you bastard, do you know where you are right now? Aren't you afraid that I will call someone to come and kill you?'

Zhou Ming grinned, not bothering to answer, and George added, 'Mr. Zhou Ming, aren't you afraid? This is at the Great Wood Manor, and I have a team of heavily armed mercenaries living here.'

After George finished and clapped his hands. In response to George's actions, the surrounding lawn was immediately lifted, and ten mercenaries, all wearing green camouflage and carrying rifles, stood . In addition, as Zhou Ming had been reminded, he also saw the presence of two snipers on the roof of a villa not far away.

After these mercenaries appeared and they closed in on Zhou Ming in a tactical formation. The black muzzles of their guns and the murderous aura they exuded, honed on real battlefields, sent shivers down Zhou Ming's spine.

But just as the tension reached a crescendo, a voice suddenly spoke up: 'Hey, Belukov, I advise you and your men to quickly put down that burning stick in your hands, otherwise I will definitely go to your cabin next time and smash all your barrels, so that you will have no wine to drink for the rest of your life!'

Upon hearing this, A mercenary wearing a bandana and looking very much like a captain reluctantly lowered his gun and said dejectedly, 'Damn it, Zhang, you're just going to threaten me like that? You know I'm addicted to alcohol. If I don't have vodka, I might as well just shoot my heart out.'

After this mercenary words, the other mercenaries also put down their guns. According to the mercenaries, they were from a mercenary organisation called Arctic Wolves, made up of retired special forces from Eastern Europe and Northern Russia. During a secret mission mission, they met and later taught them a lot of tactical organisations, including this grassland camouflage, which they taught. To put it another way, they are still their semi-masters.

'Your camouflage is not good enough. I told you from the beginning that you had to suppress the murderous aura around you, otherwise your disguise will be useless against real warriors.' He lectured them, Facing the lesson, these strong mercenaries could only bow their heads and listen obediently, not daring to say a word against the Chinese master.

In fact, the lesson was not wrong, because he felt a heavy murderous aura when he drove in, which is why he drove directly onto the lawn in front of George. This way, if there was any danger, he could drive away as soon as possible.

George, on the other hand, was dumbfounded. Although he couldn't understand the AC, he could easily guess from the expressions of the mercenaries.

'You damned damn bastards, so you know each other? You shitheads with no work ethic, kill them for me!' Wood shouted at the mercenaries in great dissatisfaction.

In response, the mercenary the hooded mercenary pointed his gun directly at him, impatiently speaking in English, 'What are you barking at, little bastard? Our actions are not for you to dictate, and if you keep talking I'll shoot you dead! Besides, you forget that you haven't paid us anything for the battle.'

Frightened by the mercenary's threat, Wood immediately subconsciously raised his hands, obviously knowing that the other party would really kill him.

Zhou Ming smiled, not not only because of Wood's intimidation, but also because from the words of the mercenary, Zhou Ming easily knew that George had no intention of acting from the beginning. Inviting these mercenaries here was just to scare people.

Facing Zhou Ming's smile , George felt extremely embarrassed, as if he had been stripped naked in public.

'I'm very sorry . It seems your plan has failed. My friend served in the army, so he knows a lot of mercenaries,' Ming explained as he sat down in front of George.

'I underestimated you. I never thought someone like you would be your bodyguard,' George said with emotion.

George was really scared, because since he hired mercenaries, he must know the background of this mercenary group, their strength and ruthlessness and cold-bloodedness. But now they were so afraid of the seemingly ordinary bodyguard behind Zhou Ming. ordinary bodyguard, it is conceivable how powerful this bodyguard is. Now that such a powerful person is willing to serve as Zhou Ming's bodyguard, what kind of person is Zhou Ming?

But George felt that as the head of the Daewood family, he already knows the world thoroughly, but why has he never heard of such a figure as Zhou Ming? It seems that this person just appeared out of thin air, it's unbelievable!

Thinking about this, George suddenly felt a sense of dread. He suddenly felt that Zhou Ming was as powerful as a black hole. He was also glad that he had not really wanted to kill Zhou Ming, otherwise he would be dead now.

Zhou Ming gave a wry smile: 'Now that your little tricks are over, I think we can finally sit down and have a good, honest chat.'
