Chapter 13 Visit Invitation
In the evening, after a day of partying, Dennis returned to No. 10 Downing Street, where he now lives. When he got home, in the living room downstairs, his wife was still having a meeting with colleagues, discussing the country's major policies fiercely. Dennis returned to the bedroom alone, took a bath, and then ate something. After finishing everything, Dennis sat quietly by the window sill, smoking a cigarette. And the letter that he had held tightly all afternoon was placed on the coffee table on his right.
Entrusted by others, it is the end of life. Dennis waited until midnight and fell asleep leaning on the chair without knowing it. When he woke up, it was already the next morning, and he found himself lying on the bed, not knowing who brought him here. Dennis got up quickly and went to look for the letter on the coffee table by the window, but he didn't see it.
He ran downstairs, and his wife, Prime Minister Thatcher, was making breakfast at the moment (Thatcher had cooked breakfast for her husband all her life). Dennis hurriedly asked, "Maggie, did you see the letter on the table?"
"Have you seen it?" Prime Minister Thatcher replied.
"Where did you put it after reading it?" Dennis asked hastily.
"Here you are!" Mrs. Thatcher took out the envelope from her pocket and handed it to Dennis. Dennis quickly stepped aside and lit the letter with a match.
"Why did you burn him?" Prime Minister Thatcher asked without looking back.
"This is something others asked me to do!" I must do it.
"Do you know that if I publish this letter, the top leadership of the Soviet Union will set off a civil strife! This is a good opportunity to weaken our enemy!" Prime Minister Thatcher said while setting the prepared breakfast Put it on a plate and put it on the table.
"I promised someone else would destroy this letter!" Dennis said.
"Aren't you curious about what was said above? I remember that you have always been unwilling to get involved in this kind of thing!" Prime Minister Thatcher handed Dennis a glass of milk.
"The person who sent me this letter told me that this letter will save a lot of people from going hungry!" Dennis replied.
"What he said is the truth, but he didn't lie to you!" Prime Minister Thatcher said pertinently. She took a sip of milk, gently cracked the shell of the boiled egg with a spoon, and then asked her husband, "Do you want to know what was written in the letter?"
"If you want to talk, I have no objection to it as a topic between husband and wife at breakfast!" Dennis said.
"The second in command of the Soviet Union wants to cooperate with us without knowing it. He provides us with coal, we lift the American-led sanctions and embargo on them, and invite him to come to London. To help him improve his politics in the Soviet Union Prestige, this matter is mutually beneficial for everyone, and it is of great benefit to me and the country, and of course it is also true to the Soviets. Only the Americans will suffer!" Prime Minister Thatcher said.
"Sounds good, anyway, believe me, I've already burned it, and I've done what others asked me to do!" Dennis said after taking a bite of the sausage.
"Didn't you check it before burning it?" After Prime Minister Thatcher finished speaking, he took out an envelope from his pocket and put it on the dining table.
"Give it to me quickly! Why are you lying to me?" Dennis subconsciously reached out to snatch it, but Prime Minister Thatcher reached out to stop his behavior.
"I'm still thinking about it. I'm afraid it's a Soviet conspiracy!" Prime Minister Thatcher said without reservation in front of her husband.
"I promised others that you must destroy this letter after you read it. Now that you have read it, it is up to you to decide! I just want to fulfill my promise to others!" Dennis said, and then looked at the letter angrily. Looking at his wife.
