Chapter 853: The Shadow of the Famous Tree

"It's very simple. Most of the people who are dissatisfied with Wilson this time are supporters of nobles and big capital.

If I tell them that you came back to London with some special thoughts, you said that this group of people who have no confidence in themselves and have been hoping to drag me into the water, will they misunderstand that Philip has other thoughts and come to see us at the risk? "

Li Changheng's first thought was to refuse.

After all, if Mountbatten hadn't given up, once he cooperated with him, it would be like being dragged into the water by him.

After being exposed by the media, the original counter-rebels instantly became those who participated in the rebellion.

Fortunately, Mountbatten quickly continued, "However, I have one condition."

"you say."

"Since there are so many people involved, and Downing Street knew about it early on and notified Philip, it means that it is difficult to keep the secret that I was dragged into the water.

So I need to restore my reputation, and at the same time, my identity is also an undercover agent who broke into the enemy. "

Now Li Changheng believed that Mountbatten really had no other thoughts, "Aren't you afraid of being regarded as a traitor?"

"Is there a difference?"

Li Changheng was taken aback for a moment, and then he realized that since he would always be accused and hostile by one side.

Then choose between the two identities of participating in the rebellion and being a rebel, and all fools choose the latter.

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the people who had made an appointment to meet at 3 o'clock procrastinated for more than an hour, and finally came to Mountbatten's Moretz Manor together.

Five black and white Rolls-Royce Silver Phantoms were parked at the gate of the manor, while Mountbatten, with only the butler, stood under the porch to shelter from the rain and greet the visiting guests.

But what people didn't expect was that the five cars had stopped for several minutes, but no one opened the door and got out of the car.

Mountbatten was not in a hurry, anyway, there were at least 20 or 30 Li Changheng's people around, and 6 of his own men were hiding in the dark and watching.

A few more minutes passed, probably seeing that Mountbatten was not in a hurry.

A chubby middle-aged man in his 40s got out of the car first, and the others got out of the car one by one.

Brett King walked up to Mountbatten and said with a serious expression, "Good afternoon, Your Excellency, may I ask why Lord Henry Selby-Lee didn't show up?"

Mountbatten spread his hands and said, "In order to avoid being photographed by reporters, Henry is not good to appear in public, so he waited for us inside."

Brett King and a dozen people immediately cursed in their hearts.

I went to the club as soon as I got back yesterday, and this morning I went to watch the horse race with Philip.

Look at the gloomy, empty and silent manor under the rainy weather.

This is not suitable for appearing in public?

"Come in, gentlemen," Mountbatten said calmly, "Since you're here, let's see each other first."

Brett King and the others hesitated for a few seconds, and finally followed Mountbatten into the hall of the manor, and then came to a study room of at least 200 square meters.

Along the way, none of the guards or servants showed up. Some people in this group thought it was a good thing, but some also felt ominous.

It was so quiet in the manor.

But when he entered the study, he saw a tall and thin man in a black suit with his hands behind his back, looking at an oil painting in the study with his back to everyone.

Everyone quickly recognized this person as Li Changheng.

Surprised expressions appeared on some people's faces instantly, but others suddenly became nervous.

Although Li Changheng's status in England is far lower than that of Mountbatten, even the number of people who ordered to be killed is not enough compared to Mountbatten's fraction.

But one is the commander-in-chief thirty years ago, and the other is an upstart known for his cruelty and vengeance in recent years.

From a psychological point of view, of course everyone is more afraid of Li Changheng.

What no one knew was that there was not only recording equipment in the study room, but also a telephone with the wire in the microphone cut off and only the handset still working.

Wilson and the main members of the Labor Party cabinet have been connected in Downing Street.

Li Changheng turned his head and saw the expressions of excitement or fear of the crowd, and nodded to Mountbatten with a smile, "Thank you, Dicky, please leave it to me, okay?"

Mountbatten shrugged, "Of course, now you are the one who ordered it."

FK.

asshole.

After listening to Mountbatten's words, Brett King and a dozen people immediately understood that they should be sold.

Li Changheng clapped his hands and interrupted everyone's accusations, "Gentlemen, at the entrustment of His Majesty Philip and Sir Wilson, I will formally negotiate with you, and strive to avoid a split and turmoil that should not occur as much as possible."

As soon as the words split and turmoil are mentioned, some people are already sweating and worrying.

Li Changheng walked to the main seat of the long conference table, looked at Mountbatten, and saw him shaking his head at himself.

Unceremoniously, he pulled out the chair and sat on the main seat, "Please sit down, gentlemen, at the request of His Majesty Philip, we should sit down and have a good talk before the matter reaches the point of no return.

Besides, it's just me and my dear great-uncle Lord Mountbatten here. "

When Brett King and the others heard this, they felt a little relieved.

Unfortunately, what this group of people don't know is that Li Changheng actually said these words to Wilson.

A group of people stepped forward hesitantly and pulled out their chairs.

But when sitting down, the body sat upright subconsciously, and some even put their hands on their thighs.

He looked respectfully at Li Changheng who was sitting on the main seat with his legs raised.

Mountbatten looked at Li Changheng with some surprise, and then looked at the well-behaved expressions of a dozen nobles and rich people who were the youngest in the grade and could be Li Changheng's uncle.

I couldn't help but wonder whether I was really old and couldn't keep up with the times.

"First of all, we want to make it clear that you have been seeking to replace the current first project and establish a temporary certification office, right?"

Wilson and others far away in Downing Street frowned subconsciously, blaming Li Changheng for not having any negotiating skills.

From the very beginning, he wanted to convict the opponents.

And Brett King, who was sitting at the other end of the long table, facing Li Changheng, hurriedly pressed his hands on the table.

Eagerly explained, "Lord Selby, it may be because of your success and the fact that you were born after the war.

So it's not as deep as our disappointment with the country and the Witness Party.

But over the years, as smart as you are, you should be able to see that England is on the brink of bankruptcy, national security is in tatters, and one by one allies are leaving us.

And judging from the situation of the pound at this time, the second depreciation in three years is inevitable.

At that time, maybe we will have to beg the Americans for help without dignity for the second time. "

Li Changheng frowned and thought for a moment, while everyone at the scene and Downing Street on the other side of the phone waited.

I was happy in my heart, but with a serious expression on my face, I sighed and said, "Gentlemen, I may be more pessimistic than you. Perhaps in 20 or 30 years, the exchange rate of the British pound against the US dollar will fall all the way to around 1.5."

"This is impossible."
