Chapter 74 Have you heard of nuclear deterrence theory?
Dumbledore's face was full of worry. He had always lived in the wizarding world and hadn't been to the Muggle world for a long time.
He had never imagined that in just a few years, Muggles would invent so many novel things.
The Muggle world that Sebastian talked about was completely different from the Muggle world he knew.
He suddenly felt fortunate that Sebastian became the professor of Muggle Studies at Hogwarts.
In this way, the little wizards will no longer be narrow-minded.
He thought for a moment, then asked Sebastian: "I understand your idea."
"Just now Gellert said that you were filming a movie in the Muggle world. Could you explain to me what's going on?"
Sebastian smiled slightly and answered confidently: "Before explaining this situation, I need to explain a concept to both of you - Muggles."
Muggle?
What else is there to say?
Grindelwald became interested.
He wanted to hear what the young man had to say about the concept of Muggles.
"When wizards look at Muggles, they tend to think of them as a single entity."
"However, the Muggle public and the Muggle government are two completely different entities. We should treat them separately."
"For the Muggle government, they don't like things that are out of their control, so they tend to want to keep everything in their hands."
"But for ordinary Muggles, what they care about is their own lives, and they don't particularly care about what the government thinks."
Seeing the two old men looking thoughtful, Sebastian smiled and continued.
"The war between wizards and Muggles happened a long time ago. Nowadays, when Muggles talk about wizards, they think they are just legends."
"It can be said that Muggles now have no ill will towards wizards. They only have a strong curiosity."
"After figuring this out, our main goal is to use their curiosity to make these Muggles like wizards."
"So, we need to take advantage of the situation, the world trend set off by the Muggle government."
"Do you know what the problem is among Muggles right now?"
Having said this, Sebastian paused for a moment to keep the topic in suspense.
Without giving the two much time to think, he revealed the answer.
“Oversupply of talent!”
"Since the Second World War in the Muggle world, their talent has increased to the point where there is a surplus of talent."
"But they need a large number of working people at the bottom to keep their society running."
"So, the Muggle government came up with a solution - entertainment!"
Seeing the two people's confused looks, Sebastian explained briefly.
In fact, the reason is very simple. The Muggle government wants people to spend a lot of time on entertainment.
If this continues, people's intelligence will be lowered, which will not only make management easier, but also eliminate the need to worry about a surplus of talent. It will be a win-win for everyone and we can kill two birds with one stone.
Sebastian was well aware that with the emergence of such policies, the world would enter an era of entertainment.
The next twenty or even thirty years will be the golden period for the full development of the entertainment industry.
Therefore, he wanted to take advantage of this favorable situation and devote all his efforts to developing the wizard film industry and wizard publishing house in the Muggle world.
Use various film and television works to manage, shape and promote the image of wizards, so that the image of wizards can be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
They want to win the recognition of wizards from the Muggle public and make them like this group of people.
After all, in Muggle society, life pressure and mental stress go hand in hand.
Faced with heavy work, complicated interpersonal relationships and all kinds of unsatisfactory things in life, Muggles are eager to escape and find a way to reduce the mental burden.
Thus, the fantasy world gradually became a safe haven for their souls.
More and more Muggle writers are picking up their pens to create the fantasy world in their minds.
Among these fantasy worlds, the magical world is undoubtedly one of the most attractive.
In this world, Muggles can temporarily break free from the constraints of reality and experience unlimited possibilities and freedom.
In order to win the support of these two old people, Sebastian tried his best and patiently told them about his plans for the film and television company and the significance of making movies.
"Ah!"
Grindelwald sneered, interrupting Sebastian's chatter.
"You still don't believe me when I say you are naive. If the wizarding world only exists in movies and TV shows, the Muggle government certainly doesn't care."
"Guess what these Muggle governments will do once the wizarding world is fully exposed?"
"You're not so naive as to think that they will get along with wizards."
Faced with Grindelwald's questioning, Sebastian was not at all panicked. He smiled slightly and gave his own answer.
"Smart Muggles have long provided a solution to this problem, which is to divide, win over, and suppress."
"You know, the Muggle government is not a monolithic entity. They are made up of multiple political parties, and each party has its own demands."
"Even each political party is made up of individual Muggles, individuals."
Sebastian smiled meaningfully.
"As long as you are human, you will have desires. As long as you have selfish desires, it will be easy to deal with."
"We can support Muggle political parties that are friendly to wizards and let them come to power."
"As for unfriendly Muggle parties..."
Hearing this, Dumbledore interrupted Sebastian's speech.
He admitted that Sebastian's ideological program was very mature and he was somewhat moved by it.
But the way this young man plays politics is dangerous.
Moreover, from what Sebastian said, he intended to eliminate the hostile parties among the Muggles.
Therefore, he felt it necessary to remind Sebastian to prevent the young man from going astray.
"Sebastian, your idea is very dangerous. You must be in awe of life. If you ignore life, your soul will easily fall."
"Albus," Grindelwald spoke up to help Sebastian after hearing Dumbledore's advice, "I think this kid's idea is interesting."
"Sebastian, right? I'm a little interested in you now."
Seeing that the two old men were about to argue again, Sebastian quickly took out a world map and hung it on the wall with magic.
"Don't rush to argue. Do you know the theory of nuclear deterrence?"
He smiled mysteriously and pointed to a country on the map.
"We all know that the Statute of Secrecy in the American wizarding world is the strictest."
"This is because their Muggle government has an extremely strong bandit character. They always regard themselves as the boss of the Muggle world and dictate to other countries."
“But because of the nuclear deterrent, they will also be at the negotiating table with other countries.”
"So, if the day comes when we break the Statute of Secrecy, we'd better let those unfriendly Muggle parties know, let those robbers know."
"We in the magic world have our own unique 'nuclear weapons' - human-shaped nuclear weapons."
"In this way, everything can be returned to the negotiation table."
Sebastian stood up and stared at the two old men in front of him with burning eyes.
"Principal, your worry is not without reason. I am still young, so I need an experienced wizard like you to guide me and look after me."
"Mr. Grindelwald, you are a giant in the wizarding world, and your ideal is to break the Statute of Secrecy."
"I sincerely invite you to join us in breaking the Statute of Secrecy."
As he spoke, Sebastian extended his right hand to the two old men.
"Become my companion!"
