Rebirth of England.

"Ms. Nolan met with the chief secretary of the President's office, who conveyed the President's message. He said he would pay attention to the SEC's investigation into the New York branch of DS Group and Standard Chartered-Merrill Lynch to ensure that it would not affect these companies' normal investment affairs in the United States..."

After hearing Talulah Riley's report, Barron rubbed his brows and said:

"I'm going to take a rest first. Wake me up when we're almost in America..."

"Okay, Your Highness the Duke."

Just as Barron was about to get up, the plane suddenly shook and the alarm inside the plane sounded.

"what happened?"

Just as Barron steadied himself and grabbed Talulah who was about to fall, he saw Nigel rushing over and said in a panic:

"The aircraft's anti-missile system has discovered that an anti-aircraft missile has locked onto us and has already been fired at us. It has now urgently released a decoy bomb..."

Before he finished speaking, Barron saw a flame rapidly approaching the plane from his sight outside the window...

Then, a brilliant light flooded his eyes...

……

Suddenly sitting up, Barron found that he was on the bed, not on the plane, and there was no explosion. Everything that just happened was just a dream.

Only then did he realize that the blanket on his body was soaked with sweat.

Thinking back to the scene in his dream, it felt so real, something he had never experienced before...

Glancing at the time, it was already six o'clock in the morning. Barron was no longer sleepy, so he got up and went into the bathroom.

"Your Highness, are you going for a morning run now?"

After Barron took a shower and changed into sportswear, he saw Danny Burton waiting downstairs. As his security consultant, Barron would be accompanied by him and two bodyguards when he went for a morning run.

"Not today, I'm going to go to the gym. By the way, how are the plane preparations going?"

"According to the plan, we will take off at noon. There will be two team members guarding there, and before taking off, we will also conduct a thorough inspection."

……

"Boss, someone from the FBI wants to see you."

In New York, at the IC Capital headquarters, Ivanta's secretary Meda Kahn had just finished saying this to Ivanta when several people in black suits with solemn expressions walked directly into Ivanta's chairman's office.

The middle-aged black man who was leading the group took out his ID from his pocket and held it up to Ivanta, saying:

"Ivanta TP, I'm Quincy Dean, the director of the FBI Criminal Investigation Bureau. We need you to come back to the branch with us to investigate. You are suspected of interfering with the judiciary and other crimes..."

Ivanta was surprised when she heard what the other party said. She remained calm and said:

"I need to wait for my legal advisor to come and look over the relevant paperwork before I can go with you."

"We have a search warrant issued by the New York Federal Court..."

Quincy Dean seemed to have anticipated Ivanta's reaction. He gave an ambiguous smile:

"I can give you ten minutes now. I hope you won't keep us waiting too long."

He turned to look at Ivanta's secretary, Meda Kahn, and continued:

"Also, we have an arrest warrant for Ms. Kahn, so you will need to come with us later."

……

"Hello, Director Yang, please take a seat."

"May I ask what you want to talk to me about today, ma'am?"

At this time, Alex Young, the director of MI6, came to the office of Home Secretary Theresa May and asked this important figure in Cameron's cabinet.

"I received a report from MI5 that the American CIA protested to us that several of their intelligence officers disappeared in London. Do you know about this?"

Hearing this, Alex Young shrugged and said:

"This is a matter for MI5. We are only responsible for foreign intelligence systems, Mrs May."

"That's the thing. But according to the report submitted by MI5, the disappearance of these people may be related to the Duke of Devonshire. As far as I know, you have a close personal relationship with His Royal Highness the Duke..."

"This is just an unfounded accusation, and I think it is very inappropriate for you to use it to question me."

Alex Young interrupted Theresa May and said coldly:

"Besides, if what you said is true, the CIA is conducting a secret investigation against our Duke, it is itself a very offensive thing. I'm afraid we need them to give an explanation first."

Among the British intelligence agencies, MI5 is responsible for internal intelligence and is led by the Home Secretary, Theresa May.

MI6 is responsible for external intelligence and is led by the Foreign Secretary.

So Alex Young didn't care much about Theresa May's questioning.

Of course, he was also under pressure from the CIA at this time, but according to the intelligence Alex Young had, the actions of those agents were not officially authorized by the CIA headquarters. Therefore, although the CIA was very angry about their disappearance and hoped that the British side would assist in the investigation, it did not put too much pressure on them.

Today's conversation between Theresa May and Alex Young was just a verbal attack.

She then asked:

"I wonder if you have confirmed the Duke's current condition? Also, what caused the plane crash? Was it really hit by a missile? We can't keep it secret for too long. Sooner or later, we will need to announce it to the public..."

"We are in contact with the Duke, but have not received a response yet. We have also urgently mobilized MI6 personnel nearby to conduct an investigation. If there is any result, I will report it to Mr. Haig as soon as possible."

Not long ago, the British intelligence system received news that a plane exploded in the airspace between Algeria and Libya, and someone in the area saw traces of suspected anti-aircraft missile launches...

More importantly, based on the reported flight records, the plane was most likely the "Devonhill" private plane belonging to the Duke of Devonshire.

Just as Alex Younger said, after receiving the news, they immediately contacted the Duke, but at this time no one in London had any definite news, and there was no reply from Kolo. Now Alex Younger himself was a little unsure, could it be...

As for the "Mr. Hague" he mentioned, he is referring to the current Foreign Secretary William Hague, who is also Alex Young's direct superior.

Alex's words made it clear that he would only be accountable to the Foreign Secretary...

"Mr. Young, I hope you understand that you are the head of the British intelligence agency and you need to be responsible to Britain, not to a certain individual..."

Theresa May said to Alex as they finished their conversation and he was about to leave.

When Alex walked out of Theresa May's office, he couldn't help but sigh deeply. If His Royal Highness was okay, everything would be fine, but if...

You know, the Home Secretary he met today was not the first one to "crack down" on him.

Before this, London Mayor Boris Johnson also met with him in private, and the meaning of the other party's words coincided with Theresa May's.

It is reported that after Johnson ends his term as London Mayor, he is likely to take over William Hague's position as Foreign Secretary...
