Chapter 361 United States
Chapter 361 United States
The officials were all experienced and showed no dissatisfaction. They were still smiling and looked at Percy affectionately as if he were their own junior.
The benefits were in place, and both sides were in love. The environment was much more comfortable than the International Exchange and Cooperation Department where Percy had worked before. If the director, who was his direct superior, showed a displeased attitude, the subordinates would read his expressions and naturally would not be very friendly to Percy.
It was obvious that Percy soon relaxed, and gradually revealed his usual eager attitude towards those in high positions.
Time passed slowly, and the people in the British government also needed time to digest and familiarize themselves with what they encountered today, as well as to lead the major forces in the country to enjoy the changes brought about by magic first.
Alison had almost finished her talk, explaining the common sense of the wizarding world, and then she took her father and the others and said goodbye and left.
Anyway, if there is really something, we can use owls to send letters. We are all adults, and both parties are equal. No one will feel uncomfortable if they are always following us.
The Queen looked at the equally old Dumbledore, with a hint of envy in her eyes.
It’s not that I envy her magic, she can now cast some fireballs herself.
As a parent, she mainly envied Dumbledore for having a daughter who could shoulder the responsibility, help share the burden, and even take over the responsibility.
The attitude shown by Miss Grindelwald can indeed make parents feel at ease and give up power.
Her sons...
Forget it, let’s not talk about it. There’s nothing much to say about each of them.
Fortunately, after awakening her magic power and becoming a wizard, she should be able to hold on for a few more decades. At worst, she can hold on until her grandson is able to take on the responsibility.
Percy followed them closely, acting like a follower.
The group visited almost every store, and with Percy's introduction, they went to Hogsmeade village through the public fireplace. They used the bags of change that Alison had given them to buy a lot of wizarding specialties, and finally returned to Whitehall together, still not satisfied.
Everyone was excited and obviously had a lot of ideas and thoughts in mind.
The Prime Minister also smiled and took a deep breath, very motivated: "Okay, the books are in your pockets, go back and read to learn the basic knowledge and common sense of the wizarding world. In the next few days, take extra time to make up for the lessons and let Percy tutor you."
He arranged a secretarial job for Percy and even paid him the same salary as others, which was equivalent to letting Percy receive double salary from two units.
As for the Ministry of Magic, they currently have no intention of contacting it.
At the very least, I have to wait until I have a good understanding of the situation in the wizarding world and the basic knowledge of magic, then I can come up with a suitable plan and look for help.
The queen looked at them and shook her head helplessly, but she was also happy in her heart.
……
Of course, some things simply cannot be kept secret.
After returning, some people naturally went to discuss with the forces behind the scenes, or found an opportunity to make a phone call to the other side of the ocean and quickly report the situation in the British wizarding world.
At the same time - or even earlier - some devices originally used to eavesdrop on other countries also leaked British intelligence, including information about arrangements and arrangements.
Moreover, the Kremlin usually knows the news within NATO earlier than 10 Downing Street.
For a while, the whole world was stirred up by some news, and undercurrents surged, but on the surface it was still calm - even more stable. The conflict was originally on the verge of escalating to the point of a local war, but now no one wanted to fight.
……
The United States was the first to receive the news. After learning that the British had begun contacting the wizarding world and were expected to reach cooperation, the CIA acted quickly and reported what needed to be reported.
The low-level employees who are responsible for intelligence are observant and report truthfully, pretending that they have never heard of the high-frequency words used in the recent communications of the British government, those "wizarding world" and "magic" which seem particularly absurd in the eyes of ordinary people, as if all the senior British officials were drunk and deceived.
The superior did not seem surprised and accepted the report calmly.
The reaction was so severe that the people who submitted the report did not dare to investigate further.
A document with a red stamp and the words "Top Secret - American Eyes Only" was kept confidential and handed over to the relevant department.
Soon, the big boss at the top called a meeting.
Compared to the think tanks that must attend regular meetings, the real upper elites of America, and the head of the CIA who is responsible for external intelligence, this meeting also added a part of the US Defense Intelligence Agency, the relevant person in charge of a special forces unit.
Remote viewing of special forces "Stargate".
"Remote viewing" is a special psychic ability that enables people to transcend space and time and see the desired scene. In addition to finding the location of the target and wanted criminals, it can also directly enter the target's mind and understand their intentions.
The "Stargate Project" announced to the outside world is the code name of an operation of the US government, which aims to use mind control and supernatural powers to carry out military and espionage activities.
Technological means may not be able to approach the tightly protected senior officials of a hostile country, but under the observation of supernatural forces, those conventional restrictions no longer exist, and as long as they are mastered properly, they can infiltrate the enemy's most secretive places without damage.
Spend a small amount of money, solve the problem once and for all, and achieve the ideal effect that no one can crack.
The think tank elites were obviously not surprised by these special forces members dressed in strange costumes. Some of them even smiled and nodded to their acquaintances and simply said hello.
The big boss sat down holding the armrest of the chair, and naturally there were secretaries and assistants in charge of documents who distributed the relevant documents and information to the people below one by one.
This kind of relevant information can only be viewed in the conference room. Once out of the conference room, each copy of the information must be destroyed. At the same time, everyone must keep their mouths shut.
If the information is too confidential, there will be some means to assist in maintaining confidentiality.
As for the subjective leak under such circumstances...
It is not difficult to quietly silence a few people forever and maintain physical confidentiality.
For a moment, the only sound in the room was the faint sound of shuffling documents.
While waiting for everyone to digest the content, the big boss took a sip from his coffee cup.
Rich and aromatic, refreshing.
The freshly ground coffee, made from a coffee machine that costs one hundred thousand U.S. dollars, is full of the fragrance of money.
So beautiful.
The time was almost up, and the big boss tapped the table with his fingers: "This time, Daying got the upper hand and won first place."
The middle-aged man spoke in a melodious tone and did not seem angry. Instead, he even smiled.
Obviously, in his view, this short-term lead is not enough to make him change his attitude, and the United States still sits firmly on the Diaoyutai.
Naturally, someone in the audience understood the meaning of the song and laughed in agreement, "After all, Miss Grindelwald lives in England with Mr. Dumbledore. It seems that she has inherited some of her father's aspirations and carried them forward."
"That lady will be in the fifth grade in September. Ilvermorny can apply for an exchange student. With the portal, it will be convenient for the two schools to communicate. Since they are both English-speaking schools, there is no need for them to learn a new language."
If an ordinary wizard from the American wizarding world were here, he would probably faint from fright.
These No-Majs actually talked about everything about the American wizarding world so skillfully and calmly, and even implied that their words were about controlling Ilvermorny, the only wizarding school in the United States!
The American government had known about this group of people for a long time, and even maintained an employer-mercenary relationship with them from Europe to the thirteen colonies in North America.
After that, he bribed and controlled several American wizarding families. At the same time, he gradually used these pawns to bribe adult wizards and expand his power in the American Magical Congress and Ilvermorny.
The Magical Congress of the United States, which has always advocated secrecy and is completely separated from the No-Majs, is actually the one that has been most severely infiltrated by the ordinary world.
Even the Stanford Research Institute regularly has "magic genes" and "magic blood" flowing in as rare research subjects. They have even developed some methods to train the spiritual power of ordinary people. However, they are still not enough to allow people to awaken their magic power and become wizards. At present, they still have to rely on wizard mercenaries.
As for why wizards with extraordinary powers are willing to be tortured by the No-Majs...
Are you underestimating the power of the 5.56mm steel wand?
Plus the high salary...
When the profit reaches 10%, some people will be ready to make a move;
When the benefits reach 100%, some people dare to trample on all the laws of the world;
When the profit reaches 300%, they will go to the gallows without hesitation.
The words of the ancients are still having an effect as always.
After getting the solution to this question from his subordinates, the big boss nodded slightly with a look of satisfaction on his face.
However, Alison, who is classified as a nuclear weapon in the wizarding world, is not the focus of this discussion.
This kind of person has no shortage of fame, fortune, money or power. With his family background and abilities, everything can be easily satisfied for him. He is not old enough to become savvy and cause a scandal, so he is very difficult to win over.
After reading the information, everyone knew what the boss was worried about during this meeting.
Someone suggested: "Haven't the goblins already followed our advice and won over the giants and werewolves? We can put in a little more effort and give them some military assistance to get them to work harder."
"After the merger, Great Britain will definitely not allow Gringotts to interfere in the British economy. So why not make use of our friend's remaining energy to test the strength of the British wizarding world and make trouble with the British government."
"And we are waiting to receive our friends back out of humanitarian reasons..."
This is to use the goblin as a weapon to weaken Britain, affect Britain's integration, use terrorist attacks to sow the seeds of conflict between witches and wizards, and also take this opportunity to test the strength of the British wizarding world.
On the American side, they were just waiting to receive the refugees who had been beaten and fled, to show favor and control their originally "equal" friends, and at the same time to accept the property and power that their friends were grateful for.
Not only the British government and the British wizarding world regard goblins as sacrifices and first dishes for the integration of the two sides, but America is also eyeing them covetously, waiting to take the opportunity to tear off a piece of fat meat.
As for whether Dae-yeong would be angry if they were discovered...
The think tank has collected relevant information and can see clearly that Miss Grindelwald has always been committed to helping wizards integrate into the world and stop being aliens. No matter how angry Britain is afterwards, she can't just give up on the American wizarding world.
Moreover, as the current world hegemon, America truly has the ability to start the Third World War and drag everyone to death. It is destined that it will not be the one left behind by the new changes.
No one can afford to bet on what extreme behavior an excluded lunatic will do.
If you want to defeat it, you can only slowly overtake it in head-on competition, or wait for it to have problems.
Just like that red giant.
Even if Miss Grindelwald couldn't see these things clearly, there were people around her who could see them clearly.
At the national level, everyone is a carefully selected group of elites, and in many cases, everyone is an open conspiracy. Even if you can see the consequences, you have to end it and swallow your anger.
Psychological experts have long studied and analyzed Miss Grindelwald's character.
Although he is usually arrogant and overbearing, he is not a brainless reckless man. Instead, he is very good at weighing the pros and cons.
