Seven hundred and thirtieth chapters improved war situation

After talking with Mrs. Greengrass, Ryan and Hermione returned to the main building of the manor. For them, after leaving the manor for half a month, they now have a lot of things to do, and they don't have much time to waste on other things.

They have a lot of things to be busy now, including but not limited to the production of potions and props, the training of some followers, and discussing some things about the current situation with the Hogsmeade Ministry of Magic and Headmaster Dumbledore .

The best news recently is that the economic strength of Voldemort's side has been suppressed to a very low level due to Ryan's persistent strategic destruction in the past few months. Especially after at least 80% of the manors and workshops belonging to those pure-blood families were completely destroyed, Gringotts in the United States could not afford such a loss and chose to withdraw from the United Kingdom, which also caused serious problems in Voldemort's economic chain. The problem.

Naturally, Voldemort, who has been troubled by various attacks now, really has no energy, nor does he have the strength to find those Americans. In this case, they even need to take out a sum of money from the already small budget to advance the Americans to make up part of their losses, so that the Americans will not fall in the direction of Hogsmeade.

One of the main reasons for Voldemort's current predicament is that Gringotts in the United States is a private institution. They can cooperate with the Magic Congress of America to perform some tasks, but if they are unprofitable or even need to lose money, they will not be able to make sacrifices, let alone once After really angering a wizard of the level of Ryan or Dumbledore, the loss is likely to be more than just money.

Therefore, now the wizards in the United States are adhering to the idea that they can make a fortune while disrupting the British wizarding world as much as possible, and began to ask Voldemort for money to make up for their losses by threatening to fall to the Hogsmeade Ministry of Magic. .

And the Death Eaters naturally saw what the Americans were thinking. However, in order to prevent the Americans from suddenly changing sides and falling to Hogsmeade, causing a large-scale collapse of their own side, Voldemort can only choose to swallow this bitter pill.

The mysterious man now actually started to demand that the people who took refuge in him hand over their wealth. A medium-sized black wizard organization from Albania angered the mysterious man because they wanted to leave with the money they earned. As a result, everyone in the entire organization was executed on the spot. Hermione's eyes widened as she looked at the message from the Order of the Phoenix. Don't he know that in this way, except for the extremely loyal people like Bella, everyone else will have a rebellious heart against him.

I think even if the mysterious person doesn't have much soul left, he should know that what he did is very bad in the long run. Ryan spread his hands. However, the biggest difference between wizards and ordinary people is that strength is the most important thing for wizards. The mysterious man is confident that he can turn his subordinates' wallets into his own through strong strength even if he doesn't have a penny.

It's not just a wallet. Hermione turned to the next page, and then pointed to a paragraph and read: According to the report of the observers in Diagon Alley, the mysterious man led people directly into Gringotts and killed a dozen of them. The goblin who blocked the way, and then removed a large amount of currency and treasures. This can be said to be a heavy loss for Gringotts in the UK.

The loss of wealth is just a small matter. You must know that the core of the bank is reputation, and now Gringotts has lost their credibility. Even if the wealth can be recovered after the war, Gringotts will not be restored. position. Ryan was not too surprised by Voldemort's move, because his actions were completely within Ryan's expectations.

Gringotts was established by the goblins after their defeat in war. On the one hand, it was to appease the goblins and avoid the periodic goblin rebellion.

On the other hand, it ordered the goblins to provide free financial services to the wizards and create wealth for the wizards.

But the goblins are naturally not the objects that the wizards plunder like the house elves. Over the years, they have accumulated a large amount of wealth through various financial means. At the same time, they naturally learned to collude with those pure-blood wizards who hold power in the Ministry of Magic, and exchange wealth for protection from the Ministry of Magic when they grab money.

This way of wielding money and spreading it around has gained countless wealth for the goblins, but it also wears down their will. Especially fairies are long-lived species, but their lifespan is limited after all. Now the new generation of goblins have not experienced the flames of war, so the courage to fight to the end is also very little left. Therefore, after Voldemort killed people and established his might, these goblins naturally chose to submit.

For Voldemort, who is a standard blood-discriminator, even the hemp-seeded wizards who are humans are considered inferior creatures, let alone these non-human creatures. In his eyes, goblins and house-elves are nothing The difference is that they should all be slaves of pure-blood wizards. So naturally he would not hesitate about any influence and directly took out the wealth that he felt should belong to him from Gringotts.

This can be considered some kind of good news. After being shocked, Hermione said in a narrative tone, The pure-blood family monopolized the financial industry of the entire wizarding world before, and now the mysterious man is very concerned about Gringotts. The two strikes almost completely destroyed the credit of the goblins, so that after the war, Hogsmeade's United Wizarding Bank of Britain replaced Gringotts basically became a foregone conclusion.

That is to say, the mysterious man has helped us remove one of the biggest obstacles to us taking control of Britain's finances. Having said that, Hermione stood up and said excitedly. Gringotts has always been a neutral institution, and goblins will hardly participate in human civil wars. So I have always worried that if those pure-blood families rise rapidly with the help of Gringotts after the war, our war will be equivalent to fighting in vain gone.

It's definitely not for nothing. You are too worried. Ryan comforted. Because even if they have money, they don't have enough manpower to support them. After we provide enough jobs, those hemp-seeded wizards don't need to support themselves through clothing pure-blood families. And the pure-blood families themselves have very few people. , this time we have cleaned up some of them again, and it will take a long time for the rest to recover to their current level.

You're right, I did think too much. Hermione paused for a moment and took out a letter from the bottom of the pile of letters, By the way, here is a letter from Headmaster Dumbledore. Our letter. He hopes that we and he can inform each other about the route of action, so as to avoid accidental injuries caused by the chaos.”

That's a good idea. Ryan nodded. We and the Order of the Phoenix often choose to attack suddenly at night. In this kind of situation where the line of sight is unclear and everyone is very nervous, if we really choose the same attack target, it is indeed easy for our own people to fight first.

But it's very simple to solve. At this time, Ryan thought of the little toy that the 101st Airborne Division brought during the Normandy landing during World War II. I'll make a batch of badges first, and as long as the badges are close to each other, they will glow or vibrate. In this way, every time an expatriate only needs to bring two badges, they don't need to worry about accidental injury.

The next life went into that kind of step-by-step, on the one hand, because after a long attack, Ryan and the others destroyed 80% of the targets and nearly 90% of the production capacity of the southern pure-blood wizards. And as the number of destroyed places increased, the places that the Death Eaters needed to protect decreased accordingly, and each of the remaining spots was guarded by a lot of dark wizards. In this case, if you want to continue to attack, it is actually difficult to guarantee that you can achieve almost no losses like now.

On the other hand, it may be because Ryan and his persistent attacks have dealt too much damage to Voldemort after the war started, so Voldemort and the London Ministry of Magic have made much less movement in the recent period, which seems to be due to strength. Insufficient and carry out strategic contraction. Therefore, Ryan and the others could not find too many targets.

In short, this boring and monotonous life was not broken by a letter from Hogwarts until mid-April. This letter was mailed by Dumbledore, and he invited Ryan to Hogwarts to discuss some important matters.

It seems that this boring life is finally over, Ryan said after receiving the letter, waving the letter paper to Hermione who was sitting on the edge drinking tea, Maybe this war is about to end.
