"The goblins are starting to fight back."

Alice said straight to the point.

"What about the method?" John smiled and nodded, "Is it as we expected?"

"Yes, the first thing they use is economic sanctions."

Alice also said with a smile.

As he spoke, he placed the document in his hand in front of John.

John looked down and realized that this was actually a public statement from France.

The content of the statement is very simple.

To sum up, the French Ministry of Magic has violated the "Guidelines for the Protection of Intelligent Magical Creatures" in the "International Protection of Magical Creatures" by killing goblins. Therefore, the French Ministry of Magic will cut off all trade and relations with the magical world of the Republic of China from now on.

diplomacy, and freeze all assets of the Ministry of Magic of the Republic of China in the French magical world.

"Hehehe——"

John couldn't help laughing, "The reasons they gave are really strange. Wizards all over Europe know that French wizards are the most old-fashioned, conservative, and the most resistant to the International Protection Act for Magical Creatures. As a result, now, they

They actually used this reason to sanction us. Couldn't they find any better reason?"

Alice shrugged her shoulders and said:

"This is actually very consistent with the characteristics of French wizards. They are a group of extremely contradictory guys."

Hearing this, John nodded in agreement.

Based on the purpose of understanding the enemy, his understanding of the French magical world is actually no less than that of Alice, a French wizard.

As Alice said, the entire French magical world is very contradictory.

Because since the French Ministry of Magic was established in 1790, the motto they have used is 'Liberty, Equality, Fraternity'.

The founders dreamed of building a place where all races could peacefully coexist and help each other.

However, ideal and reality are inherently contradictory.

This initial contradiction then led to more contradictions - the conflict between the right's "blood, wizard supremacy" and the left's "liberty, equality, fraternity".

This conflict lasted for more than two hundred years, and it was not until this century that a very strange balance was reached.

This strange balance can be glimpsed from the situation of the Beauxbatons delegation during the Triwizard Tournament.

The Beauxbatons delegation is neither as right-leaning as Durmstrang, nor as left-leaning as Hogwarts.

Of course, please don't get me wrong, Beauxbatons is not a neutral party either.

If I had to describe it, they would give people the impression of being contradictory!

If you want to call them conservative, the headmaster of Beauxbatons is a mixed-race giant, and the representative is even a mixed-race Veela.

Opening up to the point of "cross-species hybrids", and allowing "hybrids" to ascend to high positions, is shocking even in the left-leaning magic world of the United States.

But you can say they are open, but Beauxbatons has strict rules.

When Principal Maxim appears, all Beauxbatons students must stand up and salute.

During the meal, Madame Maxime did not say anything about starting, and the Beauxbatons students also did not dare to start.

At the same time, Fleur, as a Beauxbatons warrior, was always discriminated against by other students in her school, saying that her blood was dirty.

Even Madame Maxime strongly rejects her half-giant blood.

Afraid of being ridiculed and ostracized.

The entire French magical world is actually an enlarged version of Beauxbatons.

Their left and right factions seemed to have bonded over their years of struggle and began to cooperate.

This group of people is holding up the superficial banner of 'freedom, equality, and fraternity' and striving for more foreign labor to increase their strength, but the actual beneficiaries behind it are still the 'blood faction'.

It is quite reasonable for the French Ministry of Magic, which is so contradictory, to issue such a bizarre statement.

After all, they have been living in this contradictory and bizarre environment for a long time, and they probably don't see the problem at all and just regard it as normal.

Smiling and shaking his head, John continued to ask:

"What do other ministries of magic mean except the French Ministry of Magic?"

"At present, their attitude is still very ambiguous." Alice replied, "But with the strength of the goblins, it won't be long before the entire Europe and even the Magical Congress of the United States will impose the same sanctions on us.

After this, the alchemy products of the French magic world, the various magical animal materials of the American magic world, the magic ore materials and related products of the German magic world... these will all be cut off."

"Is such that."

John said nonchalantly, "But we have stockpiled a large amount of related materials and items in advance. Moreover, this blockade is not complete. There will always be a black market, and what should be bought and sold can always be bought and sold, but the price is just a hundred million points higher."

, the amount is just a hundred million points less.”

"But even that would take a toll on us."

"What is needed is loss."

John smiled and said, "Too many people have become a community of interests with us now. The interests of the Ministry of Magic of the Republic of China and the magical world of the Republic of China are their interests.

If we are damaged, they will be damaged too.

In fact, their losses will be greater than ours.

Because we can at least pass the loss on to them, but what about them? Who can they pass it on to?

They can only bear it silently, and then become angry.

And what I want is their anger.

So not only do we want the losses to occur, but we also participate in them and speed up the process!

This is not difficult at all, after all, the wizarding society in the country is very small, isn't it?

All it takes is a little tampering and the whole system collapses."

"But the target of their anger may not be the goblins, but us."

Alice frowned slightly and said, "John, have you ever thought about what if they think it was us expelling the goblins that caused all this? What if they think we are the culprits?"

"Snapped--"

John smiled and snapped his fingers and said, "So in order to change this situation, we need to get Percy and Michael to move.

Tell Percy that I spared his life for Mrs. Weasley's sake, and even gave him the rights he wanted.

And now, it's his turn to repay me.

Let him contact and cooperate with the Daily Prophet to launch a propaganda offensive.

In addition, Michael has been the director of the Auror Office for several months and has already taken control of the overall situation.

Let him be ready to receive supplies.

We are going to start expanding our army."

"Expanding the army?" Alice seemed to have thought of something, and said with shock on her face, "Do you want to..."

"The benefits of this military expansion are very good. Do you think wizards will join in order to continue to live in the magic world and to continue to have the power to cast spells?"

John said, "In this terrible environment, instead of passing on the loss, I gave them a way to continue living in the magical world in this way.

Do you think those people will thank me or hate me?

I think most people’s objects of hatred will be fairies, right?”

Alice's eyes are getting brighter and brighter.

And John sighed:

"Let's go do it, Alice. Now the key is in our hands. All we have to do next is insert the key and twist it hard. In this way, the chariot will start."

Alice took a deep breath and said:

"We will win!"

Hearing this, John also smiled calmly and said:

"certainly!"

…

at the same time.

The kebab shop in Diagon Alley.

Michelle and others continued to celebrate.

There are many people who are as happy as them.

You can see it if you look down from a high altitude.

Even though the sky was getting dark at this moment, the entire Diagon Alley was still a lively and joyful scene.

Even more so, because after nightfall, various stores light up their newly designed lighting signs.

Set off by those colorful magical neon lights, the entire Diagon Alley has become even more prosperous!

A dense flow of people constantly shuttles between the streets.

They kept laughing, talking, and cheering, filling every corner of Diagon Alley with huge laughter.

However, what they don't know is.

In the night sky that they couldn't see, there were countless owls driven by John's will, flying around the country with the "Daily Prophet".
